Chapter 36: 【The Innocent Enchanting Demon】Took Off Her Mask (2)Translator: Night Fury
After we had been in silence for a while, she spoke at first.
“It’s almost time for you to come back.”
“I won’t! You just want me to be the enchanting demon queen!”
“…That’s your destiny.”
“…” That was the only reason why I had left her.
At that time when I had been about to attend the college entrance examination, this woman had suddenly asked me to give up taking the examination and go to that ‘Demon Cultivating School’ which sounded like a nursery school in demon world.
She had also told me that it had taken ten thousand years for the enchanting demon race to find a girl like me. Also, she had said that I had been destined to be the enchanting demon queen, the wife of the demon king who would unify the world and the only hostess of the demon world.
Not only that, she had even told me that it had been recorded in the prophetic book and would definitely come true. Therefore, she had mentioned that I should make preparations to be a bride in order not to humiliate the enchanting demon race… That! Was! So! Stupid!
I never thought that fatalism would be praised highly in the demon world. Perhaps all those demons had lived so long that their head had already got rotten!
This woman had said that I could study the skills of a real demon as long as I went to the Demon Cultivating School. Even my potential could be stimulated. By then, I would be the most powerful, beautiful, intelligent, … (I had left out about thirty-three adjectives) enchanting demon queen. All the demons, men or women, would all throw themselves at my feet. And I would be the mother of the demons and only second to the king.
But the enchanting demon queen, or the mother of the demon world meant nothing to me!
No matter how extravagant her description had been, I still had no interest in that. All I ever wanted was an ordinary life.
I hated the fact that I was an enchanting demon already. And hearing her emphasizing about my destiny was already annoying enough, she had even asked me to give up attending the college entrance examination. I just couldn’t tolerate that. So I had chosen to run away from home.
She hadn’t stopped me and only let me go… Now come to think about it, she might have said all those things that had annoyed me all the time, but she had never really forced me to do anything.
If she really wanted to bring me home, I wouldn’t even have the power to resist.
Anyway, after I had left my home, I had attended the college entrance examination as scheduled and gone to college.
The four years in my college might be the coziest time I had ever spent.
Because I had had to pay the tuition fee and cover my living expenses by myself, all my spare time had been occupying by working. But I still learn the feelings of freedom.
Therefore, I would never go back!
“I have told you before that I would never accept my identity as an Enchanting Demon! I don’t trust destiny; I just want to be a human! I want to live in this world as a human instead of going to the demon’s world!” Even if it was tough to live like this and I might regret my decision in the future, I still didn’t want to change my decision since I had already made up my mind.
I didn’t care if it was right or wrong. I had already chosen to live like this!
Perhaps she had already known what I would say. So I didn’t see any angry expression on her face. Then, she suddenly mentioned with a tranquil look,
“Then, do you want to join the organization?”
“Huh? Join the organization?”
“Yeah, you can work in the Education Department.”
“Education Department? Is there an Education Department in the organization?” Although I hadn’t joined the organization or worked for them, I still knew lots of thing about the organization.
As far as I knew, there should be five departments in the organization, which was the Human Resource Department, the Chores Department, the Search Department, the Research Department and the Management Department.
If there were anyone else in the organization, they must be the employees out of these departments.
But the Education Department… I had never heard of that.
“Only a few members of the organization know that we actually have the sixth department in our organization, which is the Education Department. But there are only three members in that department.”
“Only three?” That really was a small number. Even the Search Department which contained the least members of the organization had almost fifty employees.
“The chief of the Education Department is me, the principle of the Gun Water High School. And the other two members are Ke Xiaozhen, who was the teacher of Grade 2.2, and Chen Xin, the teacher of Grade 3.3. The members of the Education Department work as teachers of those students with supernatural powers and teach them the common sense.”
“I see…” So the Education Department was consisted of the teachers of the students with supernatural powers.
“We need a teacher who can teach Grade 1.1. Miss Zhen was the acting teacher for that class before. I think that you are very suitable for that post.”
“But I…” My ordinary appearance was really ugly. That was why I had been isolating myself from others. I didn’t want to bring any troubles to them…
“Then it’s about time that you take off your ‘mask’.”
“What?”
“If you have put on that mask before because you wanted to protect yourself, now the man who could protect you has already shown up. A woman should always show herself as much as she could to win man’s interests. That’s my suggestion as a woman who has had the experience. If you still move slowly, your sweetheart might leave you soon.” Speaking of this, she showed a lonely look on her face.
“I don’t!” With my fists clenched, I shrank my body and shouted that.
However, as I only spitted out half of my sentence, my voice trailed off. At last, I finished the rest of my words with no confidence at all,
“Like him…” It was no use denying that. My physical reaction already told me my true feelings.
I hadn’t even said that I had hated him but only said something not completely negative like not liking him. But my body was still punished… No, no, this was not a punishment.
I felt pain because I had said something against my will… I was still lying to myself.
I had used to be a lonely person.
Due to the nature of my body, normal people couldn’t get near to me. And I had always avoided making contacts with them.
I had lived my life with great care every day. Even in the hot summer, I had still muffled myself up well without any spaces to stretch myself. It had been like… I had been constrained.
Everything in this world had made me mentally and physically exhausted… And she had seen all of this.
In fact, I knew that she had only used the prophet as an excuse. She only wanted to find a reason for me to compromise.
She had asked me to go to the demon world for my own good.
There were demons of my own kind in the demon world and I could live without any constraint there. Comparing to the little freedom I had had when I had been in the college, I could only obtain the really freedom in the demon world.
But I still insisted in staying here. Because I didn’t want to grow hatred on humans… My dad was a human… And when I finally couldn’t hold on anymore, I had met that boy.
Even if he had seen my ugly face, he had still been willing to come near me.
Even if he had seen my real face, he hadn’t had any lustful thought.
Even if he had become my master, he had never hurt me.
I would only be lying if I said I didn’t like him. Actually, I had wanted to show him my real face long ago. But at that time, I had been afraid that he would expose his evil side. Thus I had been lying to myself that I hadn’t fallen in love with him, that he had only been my student.
But as it turned out, he didn’t.
He was still himself. And he didn’t change his attitude toward me.
Ever since then, my ‘mask’ had lost its meaning… I raised my head to look at her… my mother.
“Mother, I have made up my mind…” Then I removed the Confusing Impression Magic Ritual on me.
Maybe I wouldn’t need it anymore.
“I want to join the Education Department!” If I had to make a change to be closer to him… Then, I’ll start to change from today!
