(1 Year Later)
It was the same day as Diwali, the day I was killed by a demon. When my two brothers and Shushi arrive at the platform that night, 10 demons above the normal level attack. But a boy wearing a mask and wielding a sword saves them. He uses his sword to slay the demons and suddenly disappears.
The boy wearing the mask is none other than me, the one who died at the hands of a demon last Diwali. Let me tell you how I became a demon. When 'Upper Rank Shangshu' pierced my stomach and took me with him, it was to turn me into a demon.
When I met Demon King Keto, I was about to die. Keto performed a ritual and turned me into a demon that looked human but was, in fact, a demon. Then I trained in swordsmanship. One more thing I discovered a few days ago was that the Demon King could not control me, and my power was almost equal to his. However, no demon knew about this.
I came to humans to train a powerful human and have them fight against the Demon King. I wanted to kill the Demon King and become the king myself. I found the person I was looking for: a girl, or rather, my girlfriend, whom I was trying to protect when I was killed. When I saw her near the platform, I sensed a lot of power in her presence, and that's when 10 demons attacked her.
These demons were sent by the Demon King, who had learned that his death would come at the hands of a powerful girl. So, Keto sent demons to kill her wherever there was a powerful aura.
When I saw her that first night on the platform, I didn't think she could defeat 10 demons alone, so I killed them and left. I decided to train her and make her fight against the Demon King, so I could defeat Keto and become the Demon King.
Also, I was initially sent by the Demon King to destroy the village, but I didn't do that. Instead, I went straight to him and told him that the girl who could defeat him might be in that village. I would check and find her, and once I did, I would kill her. Demon King agreed, "Alright, you can go."
When Shushi saw me that night, she thought I was the one who had died earlier. She told her older brother, who asked her to keep an eye on the platform in case I came back. Shushi went there every day and sat for a long time, hoping I would return, and I kept watch over her.
One night, as I kept an eye on her, about 50 demons attacked her. I thought I would step in and save her if things got bad, but until then, I let her fight the demons to learn about her power. She began fighting them and had already defeated five demons in a short time. She continued battling the other demons but got injured. Suddenly, a demon attacked her from behind. Just as it was about to hurt her, I rushed in, killed the demon, and saved her. Within a minute, I defeated all the demons.
Just as I was about to leave, she asked me to stay for a while. I wanted to stay and talk about training her, so I stayed. We sat together on the platform. She wasn't afraid of me because I was wearing a mask.
After some time, she told me her name was Shushi and asked mine. I remained silent for a while, but then I told her, "My name is Yochiro."
