The girl, who looked at me with horror in her eyes, crawled towards the corner. I tried to take out the tape from her mouth, but she kept trying to get as far as she could from me.
[Wait, Little Noah]
I looked back at my sister, who jumped towards the girl and purred at her side. The girl, looking at the cat, calmed herself, I took the opportunity to take out the tape out of her mouth.
"*Puahh*~"
The girl still frightened. Took some time before opening her mouth.
"Are you… going to kill me?" Asked the girl.
"That depends" I said frankly.
I don't know what Sati wants from me… but if he wanted me to kill this little girl… I won't have a choice.
"Who are you?" I asked.
"I… don't try anything funny… I am the daughter of minister Stephan, if… if you do something to me… nobody will be able to safe you!" Said the girl.
I looked back at the girl who was trembling… her eyes were firm… but her hands… they were a bit… twisted to one side…
"I will ask once more, who are you?"
"Like- like I say, I am-"
"Last chance… who.are.you?"
It seems that my hunch was right as she shut her mouth before she said what she was about to say.
"I… am sorry… I lied… my name is… Carly… Carly Thorson"
"Why did you lie?"
"I… am sorry… I am stupid so…" Said Carly with a wryly smile.
'Stupid?'
"So, Carly… what are you doing here? What is the last thing you remember?"
"I… I was at school… and… lady Miya and her friends call me and… and…"
"And?"
"I… I don't know… I suddenly woke up here…"
'Lady?'
"Where are we? Who are you?" Asked Carly.
"I am…"
[Litte Noah]
'Sis?'
[Little Noah, be careful]
'What?'
[From now, you shall not tell your name… to anyone… at least, there is no problem if someone already knows your name, however, you must never personality tell another one your name]
'Why?'
[I can't tell you until you pass Sati's trial, I am sorry]
'Don't be sis, I understand.'
I could already make a guess, since ancient times, the only weakness of demons, that we know, are their names… but…
'But I am not a demon… right?'
Let's put back that though, is not something that I can do something about even if I know the answer or not.
[You can't use your real name; you must use you alias. Just like Sati use Azazel as his allies you shall use too]
'What's my alias?'
[I don't know, Sati didn't tell me, he told me that you already know it]
'I? he didn't tell me-'
Just as I was about to refute, a though came to me, as it was something obvious.
"My name is… Ivan"
...............….
I untied Carly… must of it, I left the ties on her hands, in case she tries to escape, I can catch her. To my surprise, after she calmed down, she didn't try to escape, she sat quietly at the tattered sofa.
"So… sir Ivan… what exactly do you to do with me?"
'What indeed…'
"I have something that I need to do, however, I don't exactly know what, but I do know that it has something to do with you, until we figure out what is it, I can't let you go."
"No way…" Said Carly.
"So, for our own good, you better start talking now"
"I… I really don't know what you want from me! I am stupid so I don't know what to say!"
"There"
"Huh?"
"There… let's start with that"
"What are you talking about?"
"Why do you keep calling yourself stupid?"
It was too… natural.
She really means it when she said she was stupid, it was not an attempt to indulge pity on others.
"I- I didn't mean to…"
"Also, you keep looking down whatever we cross looks"
"I-I"
*RINGGGGG*
Looking at her school uniform, I saw something vibrating.
"No, wait!"
I picked her phone from her pocket; A new message came from someone whose name was…
'Master'
When I opened the message…
'Hey, stupid, you dare take a day off? You better show your ass before classes end!'
I could feel it…
A smile was drawing on my face.
"Bingo"
