Chapter 19:
"Nya... Yuki?" Nekra asked, noticing the sleeping girl next to her.
"It's warm, nya," Nekra observed, seeing Yuki wrapped up in her tails.
"Yuki?" Nekra nudged the fox girl.
"Hmmm?" Yuki mumbled.
"Morning, nya," Nekra greeted, trying out her newfound powers.
"Nekra!" Yuki exclaimed, hugging her tightly and planting a quick kiss.
"Yuki, you're crushing me, nya," Nekra protested.
"It's been 240 years for me; I went to sleep after 20, What did you do?" Yuki asks.
"Ah, well, I understand what we are, nya," Nekra smiles in truth. She went way to far with her powers… Although the life of goddes Kyra was an interesting one. She probably suffered backlash for watching it which caused her to sleep for such a long time.
"Really? What?" Yuki asked, patting her lap for Nekra to sit on.
Nekra joined her. "As a Nekoshou, I am part devil/demon and part Youkai," Nekra explained. "I have demonic power and can manipulate chakra."
"Interesting! Like DXD? What else did you learn?" Yuki inquired.
"I can do this," Nekra said, conjuring a necklace out of thin air.
"That's amazing!" Yuki shouted in surprise, and admired the creation.
"Please, quieter, nya. My ears are sensitive," Nekra requested.
"Mine are too," Yuki empathized, flattening her ears.
Nekra placed the necklace around Yuki's neck.
"How did you do it?" Yuki asked, curious.
"I didn't specify with crafting and ended up learning to manipulate atoms to a degree. When paired with conjuring, I can create stuff like this," Nekra explained.
"Shall we check on the dungeon?" Yuki suggested.
Nekra agreed, and they accessed the view.
"A lot of people made it to the dragon," Nekra noticed, observing the battle-scarred metal dragon.
"About 100 of the stone legion are left," Yuki added.
"That's crazy, nya," Nekra remarked.
"Say, how does your demonic power work?" Yuki asked.
"Unlike magical calculations, it works through imagination," Nekra clarified.
As they observed a group of skilled adventurers navigating the upper level, Nekra recognized a familiar girl using fire.
“You look so cute smiling like that.” Yuki mutters hugging nekra more.
"Thank you, Yuki," Nekra said, feeling cheered up.
"What should we do about them?" Yuki asked, noticing the trio.
"We can't interfere; it'll disrupt the story," Nekra explained.
"Who are they?" Yuki inquired.
" Shizue, and friends. She’s major figure in the plot, nya," Nekra informed her.
"So, let them fight the Safi?" Yuki wondered.
Nekra nodded, realizing they couldn't intervene without affecting the story.
"We have to... Wait, do I sense older sister Milim?" Nekra asks, slightly worried about the demon lord.
"I see her entering the dungeon," Yuki confirmed, noticing a pink blur flying in.
"That's not good," Nekra muttered.
"No, it's not," Yuki agreed.
"Pull her into the core world," Nekra suggested, not wanting Shizue to encounter Milim.
