Chapter 28 - 28-Kupi Sacrifice

Max kills his sister.

Max – (What did I do?)

Max screams.

Max – Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!

Kupi starts crying.

Kupi – Max.

Max – Run away... Kupi.

Kupi then starts flying away.

Kupi – (I'll save you, my friend.)

Kupi is then flying and he sees Fujimoto's group traveling by wagon. Kupi then takes off in front of them. Everyone is amazed. Kupi then shrinks to a smaller size.

Fujimoto – Kupi.

Kupi explains the situation.

Fujimoto – But what did he swallow?

Kupi – I didn't see it, he swallowed it in secret.

Kairo – We need to go there and save him.

Fujimoto – (The potion Filna gave me might work.)

They go to the place. They find Max, everyone is scared by Max's condition and appearance. Max sees Shana and gets furious.

Max – aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!!

Max – kill... demons.

Koharu – there's something wrong with him.

Cassandra – we've already noticed that.

Fujimoto then comes close to Max.

Fujimoto – Max, it's me Fujimoto.

Max – Fu... ji... mo... to.

Fujimoto then smiles.

Fujimoto – see, you recognize me, come on, you can regain consciousness.

Max – (my head hurts, I'm sorry Fujimoto.)

Max – kill... everyone.

Fujimoto then panics. Max then punches Fujimoto, but Fujimoto is rescued by Kupi.

Fujimoto – thank you Kupi.

Shana then gets furious.

Shana – show up you damn thing, I know there's one of you inside Max's body.

Everyone is surprised.

Kupi – what's in Max's body?

Shana – a parasite.

Then a parasite appears on Max's left shoulder.

Fujimoto – So this is a parasite.

Fujimoto – (The potion Filna gave me is effective against parasites.)

Fujimoto – I know how to save Max.

Everyone is surprised.

Parasite – You won't save him, if you're thinking about killing me to save him, that won't work, we're connected.

Shana – He didn't lie.

Fujimoto – I said I have a way, so I will save Max.

Everyone looks shocked at Fujimoto's determined words.

Fujimoto – If we throw this potion on the parasite, we'll be able to save Max.

Cassandra – The problem is that the parasite is on his shoulder and Max is currently over two meters tall.

Kupi – Fujimoto, get on my back.

Fujimoto gets on Kupi's back.

Koharu – Please be careful.

Kairo – Good luck to you.

Cassandra – I believe in you.

Shana – Please come back alive and save Max.

Fujimoto and Kupi – Leave it to us.

Kupi then flies with Fujimoto towards Max's shoulder.

Max – Aaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!!

Parasite – I don't know what you're up to, but I'm going to kill you.

Fujimoto – Please try not to spit on Max.

Kupi – You didn't even have to ask me that.

Max tries to punch Kupi, Kupi dodges, Max then decides to jump.

Kupi – Oh no, if this jump hits the ground everyone down there will die.

Fujimoto – What are we going to do?

Kupi – Stay close to my right hand.

Fujimoto – I didn't understand, but I'll obey.

Fujimoto then walks on Kupi's back and gets close to his right hand, Kupi then grabs Fujimoto and throws him towards Max's left shoulder.

Fujimoto – Kupi!!!

Kupi then decides to hold Max's feet. Fujimoto then sees the parasite.

Fujimoto – Take this you bastard!!!

Fujimoto throws the potion at the parasite. The parasite detaches itself from Max's body, Max returns to his original height, Fujimoto and Max are falling from the sky, but are saved by Shana who is in demonic form. Shana slowly brings them back to the ground. Shana undoes the transformation. Max is unconscious.

Fujimoto – Thank you Shana.

Koharu – It can't be.

Fujimoto – What is it Koharu?

Fujimoto then looks back and sees Kupi seriously injured.

Fujimoto – Shana!!!

Shana then goes to Kupi, Shana touches Kupi and despairs.

Fujimoto – What happened, Shana!!!

Kairo – Heal him now!!!

Shana – He's dead.

Everyone is shaken by what they hear. Max wakes up and listens.

Max – Is Kupi dead?

Max then gets up and goes towards Shana, Max spits in Shana's face.

Max – It's all your fault!!!

Fujimoto – Max, calm down.

Max – How am I supposed to calm down knowing that demons attacked my city? I bet they attacked on Shana's orders.

Shana – (There's something strange about demons attacking a village and a city for no reason.)

Shana then goes to the wreckage, crouches down and starts sniffing things.

Koharu – Why are you acting like a detective dog?

Shana – Don't disturb me.

Shana then continues sniffing various parts of the rubble, Shana then gets up.

Cassandra – Shana, I wanted to tell you something.

Shana – What?

Cassandra – You have a huge ass.

Shana blushes.

Shana – These kinds of subjects are not important right now.

Kairo – What were you doing?

Shana – My sense of smell is above average and I can also distinguish the smells of several races.

Kairo – So what did you find?

Shana – I smelled and found no trace of demons here in Seseferin.

Max – You're lying!!!

Fujimoto – Calm down Max and tell us I told you it was the demons who did this.

Max – It was a girl named Alisiya.

Fujimoto – Are you sure the girl's name is Alisiya?

Max – Yes, but why?

Fujimoto starts to shake.
