Numbness ran all over my entire body as I lifted myself up from the ground--but I didn't give in.

Naturally, when making inquiries to them was my life motivation, how was I to give up so easily?

Now, what I didn't know though, was that everything was not as I had expected it.

Not knowing what was about to happen to me and with the help of my feeble, trembling limbs, I pushed myself up from my sitting position.

And, you know what they say?

'Ignorance is bliss.'

Well, let me tell you that it was true. It couldn't be more true, actually.

How did I know that? Well, I was just ignorant. It only took that much, yes. Being ignorant.

And I was just about to get a taste of that tough reality.

It unfolded as follows:

Before I could even completely get up--or at least, react--I felt oppressed as I sensed my chest tightening.

A deep frown showed up on my face. Two icy-cold eyes were shot at me, immobilizing me.

Hurriedly, I glanced back at where this ominous pressure was emitted from.

Here I saw him. He was presented before my sight.

The taller human among the two was fiercely looking at me.

He had set his gaze on me as a predator would set its own onto its prey.

At that moment, I could only shudder.

Out of fear? Yep, most likely.

Swoosh!

Within the blink of an eye, he landed right before me as he had pierced through the air.

He, who had previously been discussing with his partner a demi-dozen meters away, appeared right before me, just like that?

I was at loss here.

What to do now?

Was this seemingly unfortunate event even written in the script I'd been going on over beforehand?

A big 'NO' would fit as a response.

All written in capital letters, yes.

NO.

Just like that.

Now, even worse. There was also this long, unsheathed metallic object pointing at my chest.

As for me? I was just there, half-knelt before him, looking blatantly at his tall stature from below as he looked down at me.

"H-hey fellas?" I managed alongside a burst of dry laughter.

Yes, it was a good approach. Wasn't it how we needed to do it? Yes, we first greet each other. Only then would we be able to get along, I thought.

Ah, and this is what we call a sword, eh?

Why on earth is this sword pointing at me?

Thud

I've got no idea.

Sigh.

Just now, did this human just push me back to my sitting position as I struggled to stand up?

He did that.

'Enmity,' huh?

This was the word, right? Well, it seemed like it, anyhow.

'Am I this human's enemy?' I wondered.

I mean, yeah, why would he even attack me all of a sudden?

It was too much.

I had to speak up for myself.

If not me, who else would?

"Courting death, huh?" I said.

--Inwardly of course.

Despite the fact I had no experience in fighting whatsoever, I knew too well I was in a position of weakness here.

So, yeah. I can only mumble that to myself inwardly.

What happened a second ago illustrated it too well. The huge gap in power between us two.

I didn't have the upper hand, far from that.

Still, I didn't want to be bullied anymore. I had to speak.

"Why would you even do that to me, human? Look now, I'm bleeding." I complained.

Argh. My butt also hurt, but come on, I wouldn't make a good impression if I complained too much, now would I.

As the tip of his keen sword had been pushed upon my chest, a red stain showed up on my beige shirt.

I naturally sighed out of annoyance.

"Hey you, you're finally awake," he said before he went on, "So you can speak, monster?"

Was I at fault to know how to speak here?

Once again, no clue.

"Don't hurt him, father..! It--It must be Remie, right?! The monster must've been too weak, right..?!"

"The monster.. was too weak?" I muttered.

My eyes turned to a slit. I needed to listen here.

This time, it was the female human who spoke.

She proceeded with alacrity towards her father. Hurriedly throwing her slender white legs ahead of her within the process of each of her steps.

She then grabbed her father's wrist using both of her tiny hands as she carried on, "Father, let me talk to him, okay?"

She grabbed the same sturdy wrist that had been gripping on the deadly sword pointing at me.

Thank goodness, after her action just now, her father had softened himself up. I really did think I was done for, I thought.

A helpless sigh of relief was, then, to be let out of my mouth.

The girl then resumed,

"-R, Remie... Are you alright? What about the-" before she could even finish though, her father disrupted her speech.

"Don't be fooled, Inera," he said as he threw a gaze of contempt down at me. "He's not Remie anymore. His mana print underwent a clear change."

"H--how can he speak, then, father..?!"

"I also am taken aback by this fact. But that doesn't change this. He's no longer—"

"—But father, please !"

"Sigh."

The tough one then only sighed after which, only the silence was to be heard.

Ok now, stop.

Hang on.

I demand a break here.

My understanding of the situation was broadened after this short exchange.

I breathed in, and out.

Calmly and slowly.

I stretched my two hands before me as I was examining them.

Hmm, yes. I'm sure of it.

No matter how much I analyze them, this is a proven fact.

My skin, my nails, every single detail concludes to the same thing,

—I am human.
