Demi-human Girls Completion Manual Chapter 1325 - 19: Punishment (Part 4)

Rafael’s actions of biting Fisher’s skin gradually softened with his embrace. Perhaps even knowing Fisher wasn’t hurt, her long tongue couldn’t resist licking the place where she left teeth marks, causing him to feel a slight itch.

Fisher’s gaze grew heavy, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally confessed everything about his encounter with Rafael,

"I saw a prophecy, a prophecy confirming that the world is about to end."

"Doomsday... Prophecy?"

"Ah, ’The Red Dragon Queen will rise first, burning all of humanity to ashes with fury’..."

He recited the prophecy recorded in the Demi-human Girls Completion Manual. When hearing the mention of the "Red Dragon Queen" as the leader, Rafael couldn’t help but be taken aback.

Indeed, red Dragon-man Species are very rare, no wonder Fisher traveled so far to find him.

Rafael did not take this prophecy as something Fisher made up to escape danger. First of all, Fisher is not that kind of person; she understands him. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have answered so straightforwardly to the multiple lethal questions earlier, which left Rafael feeling frantic.

Secondly, for some unknown reason, when hearing this epic-like prophecy, Rafael feels there’s something strange resonating within his soul, as if the world listens attentively, unwilling to interrupt.

This enigmatic feeling caused Rafael’s soul to tremble involuntarily, even his horns on his head became exceptionally luminous.

"As you know, I learned of this doomsday prophecy and embarked on a solitary journey to explore it, and you are the first Doomsday I found. Rafael, what do you think was the best course of action when I found you?"

"...Kill me."

"Ah, indeed..."

Fisher embraced Rafael tightly in front of him, then closed his eyes and said with a bitter smile,

"I did have a desire to kill you, to extinguish the flame of doomsday before it ignited. But in the end, I couldn’t bring myself to do it. It’s not a matter of compassion; rather, it’s affection. I ultimately gave up on killing you and didn’t want to keep you by my side. Just like I wrote in the letter, your future lies in the wilderness of the South Continent, not in Saint Nali.

"I want you to be free, I want you to reclaim what humans took, but I’ve never considered you a burden or a lowly demi-human. It’s just that back then my abilities were insufficient, because of the burdens and attachments I carried, which caused many concerns...

"Perhaps Moli was right, we couldn’t disclose each other’s names for various realistic reasons, I because of Saint Nali, and Elizabeth, you because of the Dragon Court, and your kin... But it’s different now, I am now a fugitive from Saint Nali, so of course, I can tell anyone about us, I am able to take responsibility and face them..."

Rafael, hidden in Fisher’s embrace, suddenly heard her ask,

"Back then, when you left Elizabeth and fled from Saint Nali... was there even a little bit... a bit because of me?"

"Yes, although the feeling of being far from home is unpleasant, I gained a bit of freedom. Eventually, I will return, openly and honestly."

"...Return to become Elizabeth’s Prince?"

Perhaps it was the case of "enemies meeting, in particular, widening the eyes," Rafael held a strong opinion against Elizabeth, even surpassing her animosity towards Moli.

And Moli felt the same way; her hatred for Elizabeth was just as strong, no less than Rafael’s.

"No, just so that, then or now, I can publicly announce your existence."

"..."

Rafael sniffed, the corners of her eyes still carried the remnants of her previous crying. But fortunately, through Fisher’s words, at least she could be certain of Fisher’s emotions towards her—a feeling of touching souls recognized by the tail-matching partner, clearing her inner uncertainties. Hence, her words became somewhat lighter.

But this doesn’t mean she forgave Fisher, as her words are still laced with sarcasm, evident from her sharp tone.

She still has scores to settle with Fisher, account for the other Ladies, which Fisher won’t evade.

"...I want to take you to meet my Mother."

But before that, Rafael spoke once more.

"Are you sure?"

"Hmm..."

"Alright."

Since Rafael had already said it, Fisher naturally had no intention of refusing.

He didn’t want to repeat Elizabeth’s mistake.

"...This matter is not over yet, Moli, and other women, and your debts are still unresolved. It’s just that the Fake Court’s war is approaching, and Moli and I must focus on facing it. During this time, you... don’t get involved with Moli... do that kind of thing with her, keep your boundaries."

"...What kind of thing?"

"That kind of thing."

"...Alright."

Rafael hesitated for a moment but still spoke with her head lowered, "viciously",

"...Blame yourself for not killing me back then, allowing me to cling to you. Since you admitted I’m equal with you, I won’t let it end easily."

Fisher found it somewhat funny and exasperating, but regarding her current temperamental actions, he could only accept with delight,

"Alright, I will help you all."

"Assist us against Nali?"

"I won’t participate in your war with Nali. The Western Continent’s invasion of you is contemptible and unjust, despicable to me. But after all, that is my motherland, once I show myself, my crimes as a fugitive will become manifold. Everyone whom I know will be implicated, I cannot act in such a manner."
