When Demon Child Become Human
␑| Teddy

We returned to the cafeteria. However, this time we were more towards the right corner; at the very end of the academy, even the large walls of the barrier were clearly visible.

"It! Lots of dolls and gift boxes inside. Is this a claw machine?"

"Ah, yes. The academy provides a claw machine for the students."

Fate looked more excited than usual, observing one by one the ranks of the claw machine here.

It is a little unique, they provide games like this in the academy as it is very trying to make its students happy and can establish a close bond with each other.

Vaughan really paid attention to every individual in their organization, even the slightest thing was noticed.

But isn't this excessive?

Maybe .. 'cause our reputation isn't so good out there. Especially with that rumor. They also provide entertainment in the academy.

"Hmmmmm. There is no scanner for the phone and the coin slot is bigger than regular money. Using a special coin yes ..," Fate muttered suddenly as he touched his chin, looking at one of the claw machines in front.

I touched the nape awkwardly. As always, the observation was good.

"Yes, special coins claw machine. It can only be used within the academy. If it's not wrong there's still ...."

I started checking my waist bag. As I recall there are still a lot of coins left because I rarely play this.

The stamps are weak, when trying to always fail to get a prize, I end up rarely using .. ah, here it is!

I took out a special pocket of dime and handed over five coins to Fate.

"Thank you! But where did you get this coin?"

"Heem. Do you see forums often? Not only students, but professors and staff also often use it, they sometimes hold small events in forums. If you win, you can get parcels from them or these toy coins. Usually limited to people who can participate in their small events, because in fact it's a simple task such as buying a grocery list; doing absences for one of the events; so on."

Aaaa, Fate carved a faint smile!

It sounds strange, but the truth is. Again I touched the nape awkwardly.

"The academy has always had its own way of bringing one of the staff closer to its students. This must be Mr. Lucian's idea."

"uh? How do you know?"

"I live in the Rectorem family mansion, surely I know how it is. Although his soul felt old, his thoughts were open and creative. He is also sociable, although .. sometimes he is childish."

I'm honestly not that close to our Head Master, Lucian Rectorem. I had a bad first impression.

When he first arrived, he kept staring coldly and asked Professor Kaidan to shoot me right in the heart.

If you remember that it feels creepy.

Ah, I immediately shook my head. Can't think weird.

I saw Fate start to move the claws inside the toy machine. Oh, he's after a little gift box.

The metal claw came down and it was obvious how weak the grip---weak was

"Look, I got a box! Flower patterned keychain. Funny too."

Ah ....

He's pretty lucky.

I used to try it a lot, but never won.

Even others call this a machine full of deceit until somehow the coins run out, but do not get anything. Many never try again.

Probably coincidence. Is correct. I'm nodding.

Fate still had four coins left and he again tried to take the toy inside. Oh, this time it's after the dolls ....

"Doll bunny! Hold on for a second I'll try again."

His luck ... This is two consecutive tries, but can win.

If not wrong, this machine is resistant to dragonic power and bullets so it cannot be rigged.

This time, will I take a good look-he?!

"Now a teddy bear!" exclaim Fate with excitement.

God, does he realize his luck is terrible?

"Buckoo! Three times in a row?!"

"Still the remaining two coins--"

"Later again!" myrag.

I clasped his hand tightly and .. this doll.

When we arrived at the row of large trees, we sat on a park bench below. I leaned back and caught my breath.

His luck ... might be able to make Fate win the lottery and vacation around the world-ah, that's a bit of an exaggeration.

Fate sat beside me and looked breathless. I feel bad if it ends like this, but I'm afraid someone thinks no-no to him.

Then I said, "Sorry Fate, suddenly we're gone."

He touched his chest and said, "No problem. You're in charge of taking care of me anyway. Your every action must be to protect me."

I fell silent and looked at him seriously. Fate doesn't read minds? Oh, doll ....

"Here, that stuffed bunny you won earlier."

Fate shakes.

"That's for you as a thank you. Anyway I have too, teddy bear!" said Fate by hugging the teddy bear.

My eyes opened wide. I-this is the first time I was given a gift after ... a few hundred years ago?

I feel blushed.

"Really?"

And Fate nodded.

"ah-ah. Thank you," I muttered, not knowing Fate could hear it or not.

"Either. It turns out that unlike your looks, you're very gentle."

Uh, gently? It was also the first time I heard people say that. Moreover I know that I am ....

I started to hold the rabbit doll tightly in my lap.

"When you know who I am?"

Before long, I heard a long breath.

"That question again? Red, you're you. It doesn't matter what you are and what your origin is."

"I used to be red, eyes and hair. Maybe that's why they call me 'REDstar', but after that, over time I became black and I felt. .. that aura, ever since I heard the whisper of an angel."

I lowered my head, getting tighter holding the white rabbit doll.

"Now I hear another whisper. Little ... fear. Don't want it to happen again. You better stay away and be alert near me."

Instantly, the atmosphere became silent.

I finally turned to look at him-eh, Fate sleepy? The body slightly staggered and his eyes twitched. My reflexes held him.

Possibly fatigue? All day we've been on patrol, especially running far away.

"Fate?"

"sorry. Suddenly ... sleepy. I borrow, shoulder ...."

Eeeek, suddenly he leaned his head against my shoulder!

Oh, my God, it's okay. Fate needs a little sleep, yeah, it's okay. Aaaa, why is my heart racing now?! I'm hugging a stuffed rabbit.

Fortunately this place is empty.

Glancing-ah, Fate was so close, even scented her body all the way to her nose. I just sat there, not waking him up.

I'm sorry ... God, Sen, I didn't expect this to happen.

"To think that I was 'it'. I feel humiliated, Halfling."

Suddenly I turned towards Fate-not, her aura was different.

I clasped the Heart Core inside the waist bag and narrowed my eyes.

"Who ... you?"
