Chapter 9: Unguarded Moment
The demoness didn’t immediately wake, but her wound slowly closed, and Kagomaru breathed a sigh of relief. Until he realized something. Her slim hand was wrapped around his wrist, and she was not letting go.
Souta said, “You mighta taken her down, but I think you’re the one who got caught.”
Kagomaru tried to laugh it off, but he was afraid his brother was right. In the end, he propped himself in the corner for a fitful night of nodding off.
The roosters in the village below were just beginning to crow when he felt a hand at his throat.
