Bringing Culture to a Different World Chapter 265

Chapter 265

The Sin Demon by the name of Zenarth did not teleport the Prophet and others directly inside Norland. Instead, they were teleported to a region at the borders of Norland.

It took the Prophet and her students half a day of travel to reach an area of Norland near the border, the Squirrel Street.

“Esteemed teacher, how much longer do we have to wait here?” One of the Prophet’s students asked her uneasily.

“That Sin Demon Zenarth mentioned the Third Prince will send people over to receive us. You all continue to stay on alert. Just make sure that the humans in the surrounding area do not discover you.”

The Prophet was able to understand why her apprentices were feeling uneasy. After all... there were humans all over this place.

Even though the Prophet had used some illusion magic to disguise her apprentices’ demonic characteristics before coming to Norland, she was unable to transform that giant Sin Demon to an ordinary human adult size.

Because of that, she could only accept Zenarth’s proposal and have the Sin Demon wear a cloak that covered his entire body.

But, the Sin Demon behind her, with a height of two ordinary sized humans one on top of the other, was simply too conspicuous. Even though he was wearing a cloak, he still caught many people’s attention.

Fortunately, the Prophet saw Cave Giants on this street... Although she had no idea why this slow-witted race of demi-humans would be in a human city, it seemed that the humans of the Squirrel Street had taken the Sin Demon behind her to be a slow-witted Cave Giant instead of some sort of terrifying demon...

“Why are all those humans surrounding that sculpture of a hound?”

“It seemed like the name carved underneath that sculpture is ‘Devoted Companion: Hachiko.’”

Hachiko? Hearing the comment from her apprentices, the Prophet turned to look at the plaza before the Klia Stage Station.

She was only able to see the statue erected on that plaza after removing her wooden gla.s.ses.

It was not a sculpture of a certain renowned mage of Norland. Instead, it was a sitting hound.

That hound statue was likely there as an ornament. But, she was unable to understand why there were so many humans standing next to that statue and offering prayers to it.

Offering prayers to a dog? Are those humans mentally stable?

The Prophet placed her gla.s.ses back on and stopped bothering to pay attention to the strange behavior of the humans on the plaza. She began to search for the ‘receiver’ mentioned by the Third Prince.

The longer they waited in a human-filled place, the more dangerous it would be for them. Her disguises would not be able to pull a wool over the eyes of those high level mages.

But, she still saw no sight of the so-called ‘receiver.’

Because of that, her feeling of having fallen in a trap grew more and more intense.

While the Prophet was waiting anxiously, two little boys suddenly ran across the Prophet. They seemed to be playing a game of tag. But, the boy chasing after the other boy suddenly slowed to a halt before the Prophet.

“Don’t come near me,” Right when the Prophet was planning to shout at that boy to not approach her, she discovered that the boy’s eyes were not on her at all.

c.r.a.p! The Prophet immediately turned around to look at her Sin Demon attendant standing behind her. While he was wearing a cloak, he wasn’t wearing a mask. As such, the true appearance of the Sin Demon who has been lowering his head to conceal his facial features the entire time was seen by the boy due to their height difference.

Immediately, the Prophet’s nerves tensed up.

She gambled in her heart that the little boy does not recognize the appearance of Sin Demons, that he would only see Zeru as a humanoid beast or... this city has accepted demons like the Third Prince stated.

Maybe even though their ident.i.ties have been exposed, they would still be able to walk around in this city freely.

“My apologies, young lady.”

The little boy’s mother ran over and picked up the little boy. But, the boy extended his finger to point at the Sin Demon attendant behind the Prophet.

“Mother... demon...”

An ordinary human child was actually able to recognize a Sin Demon? The Prophet clenched her teeth. Her first gamble ended in a loss. What the boy said made her mother realize what it was hiding under the cloak.

At this moment, the Prophet could only verify if the reactions of the humans of this city would be as the Third Prince said. She wanted to see if they would accept them.

As that boy was so young, he did not show any fear toward Zeru. When his mother raised his head, she also caught sight of the true appearance of the Sin Demon.

“Zeru! Keep calm!”

The Prophet said to the Sin Demon behind her. But, Zeru was also extremely nervous. When his sight crossed that human woman’s, his instinct made him open his mouth and reveal his sharp fangs.

“Your Highness?” The human mother suddenly covered her mouth and gasped in surprise.

Your Highness? The Prophet was shocked. She cannot understand why that human would address a Sin Demon as ‘Your Highness.’

“Mother, it’s Belle’s lover, the Demon Prince!” The human boy pointed at the Sin Demon and shouted.

His shout immediately attracted the attention of many people around Klia Stage Station.

When she sensed the eyes of all the humans, the Prophet realized that it was time for her to use her final plan... rely on the Sin Demon’s s.p.a.ce-time travel ability to escape from this City.

But, she did not feel any hostility from the surrounding humans. Instead, many of the women revealed a sort of... facial expression that she cannot comprehend.

“Zeru, do not act impulsively.”

The Prophet reminded the Sin Demon behind her again. But, that Sin Demon was already prepared for a battle. With all those humans looking at them, he directly removed his cloak and exposed his fangs and let out a growl at them.

There was a reason why Sin Demons were incapable of governing the Demon Realm. Some Sin Demons were simply too lacking in intelligence.

The Third Prince’s Sin Demon had outstanding intelligence by comparison. As for her Sin Demon, he was slightly lacking in logic and reason.

The Prophet could already imagine that those humans would start fleeing in terror.

But, to her surprise, the humans not only did not start fleeing, there were even twenty-some human women that started to slowly walk toward the Sin Demon. They had curious expressions on their faces.

“Is it truly the Demon Prince?”

“He seemed a bit different...”

The Prophet could hear the whispers from the human women. At this point, she no longer cared why the humans would address her Sin Demon attendant as a Prince.

But, as the humans did not attack them, the Prophet started to tell her Sin Demon attendant to calm down.

“Zeru, hide your fangs. Keep calm.”

After the Prophet told Zeru to calm down repeatedly, Zero was finally able to return to normal. But, his eyes were tightly fixed onto the approaching humans.

“Um, Your Highness, may I touch your paw, no... I mean, may I hold your hand?”

Finally, a courageous human woman walked over and asked the Sin Demon standing behind the Prophet.

Hold hands? Could it be that it was truly as the Third Prince said, that this city had accepted demons...?

Wait... at this time, the Prophet cannot believe the expressions she was seeing on the faces of those human women. The human girl who walked over to ask about holding hands with her attendant Zeru... her face was completely red with shyness.

The Prophet remembered what this sort of expression was called — in love.

These human women actually fell in love for a Sin Demon? Sure enough, there was something wrong with their heads.

But, even though this might be the case, the Prophet still turned to nod at Zeru. She had him agree to that human girl’s request.

When Zeru extended his clawed hand toward the human girl, the Prophet felt like she would finally choose to run away in fear.

But, that human girl was so bold. She actually extended her hand and patted... Zeru’s paw pads.

Her actions seemed to have incurred the jealousy from the other women. They too rushed over to Zeru and requested to shake hands with him.

A member of the Sin Demons known for their enormous fierceness in the Demon Realm was left at a complete loss after being surrounded by the love-smitten human women. Zeru began to search for the silhouette of his master.

But, regretfully, as the Prophet was simply too short, he cannot even find her in this vast crowd of people.

‘These humans... must’ve gone insane already.’

That was the last impression the Prophet had before being swallowed by the tide of people.
