Chapter 362 of "Demi-human Girls Completion Manual" opens presenting: Chapter 362: 148. Death Rune"Erwin was sly," he purposefully exposed his tracks, which led me... Donāt stop now!
Chapter 362: 148. Death Rune"Erwin was sly," he purposefully exposed his tracks, which led me all the way to another human city, but I only caught a few of his doubles. And there was also a little trouble at homeāAgares kept urging me to return. Luckily, I thought to see you one more time before I left, and here again, I smelled that guyās stench..."
As Elliog spoke, his hands were pushing against the muscles on Fisherās body, and with the exact pressure during the squeezing and massage, the bones inside Fisherās body aligned with crisp "crack" sounds. The pain was so intense that Fisher couldnāt help but inhale sharply and, frowning, looked up at the massive hole in the sky.
"Erwin belongs to a very mysterious organization and possesses a magical artifact that could either be a relic or something else. Agares says that those weird kinds of knowledge were granted to him by that artifact... and you carry a similar scent."
As Elliog went on, his hands gently cradled Fisherās cheeks, that lazy, charming face staring straight into Fisherās. Taking advantage of his inability to resist, Elliog playfully rubbed his face, altering its shape considerably.
"You knew from the start?"
"Yeah, I told you at the very beginning, I smelled an annoying scent on you."
Elliog bowed his head, the excessive red hair falling across his forehead and tickling his skin. Her movements were more exaggerated than usual. As Fisher instinctively turned his head to glance at Moli, who was sleeping beside them, he suddenly wondered if Elliog was acting this way because sheād seen Moli there?
But before that thought had been completed for a second, Elliog forcefully reached out, grabbed his chin, and twisted his neck to force him to meet her gaze.
"No wonder I thought you were going to kill me the first time we met..."
"I thought you were with Erwin, but after a closer look, you werenāt, so thatās why I stayed by your side at the beginning... You didnāt really think some worthless human currency could lure me away, did you?"
"I thought it was my charm that attracted you..."
Fisher cracked a joke, but Elliog just yawned, lazily flopping onto him as if using him as a comfortable soft bed, then very nonchalantly said,
"Well, there might be some truth to that... Mmm, this is so comfortable."
Fisher sighed, his gaze drifting once more to Moli, who was asleep beside them. Why did the current situation feel a bit odd?
Suppressing that strange sensation, Fisher began to explain,
"A few months ago, in South Continent, I defeated a human with strange powers and gained that magical artifact from him. At first, I studied its contents, but soon I discovered that the knowledge could easily drive one mad, so I gave up studying it."
But it seemed as though Elliog hadnāt heard a word, comfortably closing her eyes, with a bubbling sound reminiscent of magma gurgling deep in her throat. Knowing her, this signalized contentment, so she probably didnāt listen to anything Fisher had said.
Then again, perhaps she had already ascertained that he hadnāt misused the Completion Manual during their time togetherāif she suspected otherwise, she wouldāve chopped him up already.
They remained like that, in this ambiguous posture until, after several seconds, Fisher sharply sensed that the pain from the bone setting was gone and he could freely move his fingers.
Mild vibrations kept rippling through Saint Nali District, signaling that Anna was still moving within the city. Looking around the serene treasury, Fisher suddenly remembered that Xiayat had also disappeared while trying to attract those creatures, and he still needed to find her.
So Fisher reached out to pat on Elliogās back, allowing her to comfortably stretch, her arrow-shaped tail twitching slightly,
"I..."
"Donāt say a word, even if you wanted us to stay intimate, we donāt have time now, howl. Agares has been pressing me to return, and I must leave now."
Elliog gave a mischievous smile, nibbled on Fisherās finger, and then slowly got up. She yawned greatly, and as she exhaled, the air above her head heated and undulated as if a fire dragon was spewing flames. But the thought of Agaresās persistent prodding made her as agitated as an employee hounded by a boss,
"Argh, so annoying, the thought of having to run back home is so irksome, why canāt they just let me sleep a bit longer..."
While she complained, she reached back and withdrew a shorter dagger, which began to emit foreboding dark glows upon contact with her skin. Once Elliog had taken off the dagger, she casually tossed the item to Fisher,
"Erwin is like a sly rabbit hiding in a burrow, rarely showing his face over these many years. His appearance in human society this time was an accident, and it seems he is collaborating with some human... I was worried he wouldnāt show up again, but now, since heās bothering you, I donāt need to drag him out myself. Giving you this will protect youāitās killing two birds with one stone... howl."
