"This is no ordinary forest fire." Raphtalia said, looking at the forest burning in the distance.
"It must have been started by that bitch!" the shield hero growled.
"Yeah, she probably wants to smoke us out of the forest, maybe I should…" I couldn't finish my sentence, as I felt Melty hug me.
Sigh, she's kind… too kind.
So, the next day, Naofumi went to the city to get information, and in the meantime, we waited for him.
"Ganyun, I know she's… my sister, but is it right that I don't want her to die?" Mel asked me, sitting on a log.
"Mel… yes. She's still your sister, even though she doesn't deserve to be." I answered with a sigh, no matter how much of a bitch she is, she's still Mel's sister.
"You know what? Wait for me here!" I exclaimed, standing up from the log, and quickly moved into the forest, where I transformed into Qilin, and headed towards the smell of that whore.
My run was quite fast, at the level of the speed of the racing car from my first life.
Having found the place where that Whore was, I turned into a humanoid form again, and jumped out, killing all the knights surrounding her.
I saw her tremble, and fell on her butt, in fear.
"D-dem.." - I did not let her finish, as I knocked her out with a blow.
I turned back into Qilin, threw the body of that whore on my back and rushed back.
Having reached the camp, where Naofumi had already arrived, everyone who saw me opened their mouths, since only Raphtalia saw this form.
I threw the whore off my back and quickly went behind the tree to get dressed, since when transforming, it's best to be naked otherwise your clothes will tear.
Coming out to them again, they looked at me for a long time until I spoke.
"Well, I'm not human, that's obvious." I told them and briefly explained who I was.
"Okay, but... why did you bring this bitch?" Naofumi asked, and his voice clearly conveyed contempt, although he was obviously more interested in my true appearance, but he understood that I did not intend to talk about it in detail.
"For Mel's sake." I answered.
"Me?" I simply nodded and answered.
"Yes, I saw how much pain you were in because of your sister's actions! So, I will re-educate her so that she will be a normal sister."
I saw Mel's eyes light up until she noticed her sister, who had already regained consciousness, and seeing her sister...
"You! Little..."- I didn't let her finish, as I punched her in the stomach.
"First lesson, don't you dare call your sister names."- I told her, she was about to object, but I hit her again, this continued a couple of times, until she finally resigned herself to not being able to call her names.
"And now..."- I said smiling, looking at the whore, a dagger made of ice appeared in my hand, from which she fell again out of fear, I, not paying attention to her, went up to her, grabbed her by the hair, I cut off her hair, and now her hair reached only to her shoulders, and was sloppy, well, forgive me, I'm not a hairdresser.
"That's it! And stop shaking, I'm not going to kill you!" I told her and slapped her to come to her senses.
"Here, go change your clothes!" I told her, handing her a bag with traveling clothes, she froze and didn't react at all.
I sighed and grabbed her chin.
"Do you understand me? Go behind this tree and put on these clothes from this bag! Do you understand?" she nodded weakly and I lowered her chin.
As soon as she went behind the tree, I turned to the others who had amazed faces, and Mel had a little sadness.
"Mel, I understand that it is unpleasant for you to see your sister being beaten, but this is the only method. I will use both the stick and the carrot, depending on her actions."
"Okay… We need to meet the queen." Naofumi said, still not happy with my idea of re-educating this slut.
As am I, but if she is re-educated, many problems in the future will not happen, especially after I leave.
After this slut changed her clothes, she silently approached me. I saw her displeasure on her face, but I just ignored it, at the moment she does not look like that princess because of her hairstyle and different clothes, so there should be no problem with her being recognized.
We set off, and eventually came to the fields where farmers were working, and most of them were demi-humans.
"I know the ruling lord here!" Mel exclaimed happily, and began to talk about him and the demi-humans who were with him
"Raphtalia?" I couldn't help but ask, so I felt a hint of sadness from her.
"My village was…" I stopped her.
"You don't need to remember that." I told her.
To which she simply nodded, but I clearly saw how these memories were gnawing at her.
"Mel, and this friend of yours… Can he be trusted?" I asked her when we went deeper into the forest.
She wanted to answer, but instead we heard a male voice.
"There is nothing wrong with doubts." I immediately pointed my bow at him, preparing to attack the uninvited guest, but Mel didn't let me do it, pulling me by the sleeve.
"This is no ordinary forest fire." Raphtalia said, looking at the forest burning in the distance.
"It must have been started by that bitch!" the shield hero growled.
"Yeah, she probably wants to smoke us out of the forest, maybe I should…" I couldn't finish my sentence, as I felt Melty hug me.

"There is nothing wrong with doubts." I immediately pointed my bow at him, preparing to attack the uninvited guest, but Mel didn't let me do it, pulling me by the sleeve.
I lowered my bow, strange... my memories of my first life are starting to fade... I remember from the anime that this familiar Mel was supposed to find us himself, but I don't remember what he looked like or where we were supposed to meet...
It's all pretty strange, if I didn't know that this wouldn't change me in any way, I probably would have been worried...
He looked at us, and of course his gaze stopped on the whore, who, although she was dressed in normal clothes and had a haircut, he recognized her.
The whore was next to me and just stood quietly.
Maybe I should stop calling her a whore? As long as she behaves obediently...
"Long time no see Reichnart," Mel said, coming out in front of us.
"Ms. Melty, long time no see. Nice to meet you," he replied, looking at us.
"This is not the place for talking, let's go back to my estate." He said and walked away, and we followed him.
Having reached his mansion, we briefly told him what we were dealing with, even though now Melty's sister is no longer a hindrance to us...
I couldn't help but notice how Mel looked at her sister...
I know that she wants to be friends with her, but she is too spoiled and an arrogant bitch. But I must re-educate her.
"Please rest as much as you need," said this nobleman and the maids rolled two carts with food.
And of course, we happily accepted his food, which was one could say 6 points out of 10, not very tasty, but you can't call it tasteless either.
The bitch wanted to touch the food too, but I didn't let her do it.
"In order to eat, you have to earn it." I told her, and she sat back down on the chair, but I could see how hungry she was.
I sighed and broke off a piece of bread and handed it to her, she silently accepted it.
I thought I would see hatred in her eyes, but there was none, which is strange, was a simple beating enough to correct her a little?
Although, she always grew up in a fairly comfortable environment and was never subjected to violence by others, maybe this is the reason for her changes?
Naofumi still looked at her with disdain, as if she was his worst enemy in the world, Raphtalia didn't care, and Mel just smiled, and of course I saw her dreamy smile.
After dinner we were shown to our rooms, and of course all the girls went with me...
Sorry Naofumi, but don't think of me as a scumbag with a harem...
I gave the bitch a blanket and pointed to a place near the bed, which meant that she would sleep on the floor.
"Bitch, I want you to heat up a bath for us." I told her, and saw her embarrassed face, since it was the first time I called her by another name.
She tried to object, but was hit in the stomach again.
"Lesson two, don't you dare contradict your mistress, who I am temporarily." I said, and she immediately began to do what she was asked.
Afterwards, I washed the two girls, and climbed into the bath myself, where Raphtalia joined me, and I noticed her glance, which she cast at my chest, which floated like two buoys. No, it wasn't a lustful look, but a look of envy, which made me laugh.
After finishing taking a bath, I tied myself with a towel only the lower part, leaving my chest on display, and went back to the room, Mel and Filo did not take it at all, but the bitch blushed...
This is... interesting!
After drying my hair completely, and carefully wiping my horns, I put on a nightgown that the maids kindly provided me.
This was the first time I wore something other than Ganyun's usual clothes, I either slept in it or slept naked.
Having settled down on the bed, Filo and Mel lay on either side of me, resting their heads on my chest. If they weren't children, I would have thought that they were using me.
Raphtalia lay down next to Filo, while the bitch simply lay down on the floor, covering herself with a blanket, and once again I felt sorry for her, and gave her a pillow.
It's strange, why do I feel so sorry for her? Before, I just wanted to kill her, but now...
Throwing unnecessary thoughts out of my head, I fell into a blissful sleep.
"Sister!" I heard Raphtalia scream, immediately jumping out of bed.
"The lord was arrested." she said.
"Why?" - I couldn't help but wonder, we only arrived yesterday, how did they manage to find out about everything.
"The neighboring lord suspected that we were harboring criminals who kidnapped two princesses!" the maid who was standing next to Raphtalia exclaimed.
"You need to leave." she added.
But before we could run away, footsteps were heard in the corridor, we quickly dove into the closet, but Mel decided to stay to stop the knights.
This girl... She knows that I can easily kill them, and she still acts like a hero?
From behind, I felt the bitch squeeze my sleeve, which, admittedly, I took normally, without disgust.
In the end, some fat guy came with the knights and took Mel with him.
As soon as we got out of the closet, Naofumi immediately approached us, who apparently also hid somewhere.
"Why didn't you stop them?" he asked me.
"I saw in Mel's eyes that she asked me not to do this," I answered him, sitting down on the bed.
"So you…"
"Naofumi, shut the fuck up, or I'll freeze your mouth!" I yelled at him.
As ordered, he fell silent.
"Okay, now that everyone has calmed down, let's go to bed Mel!" - after my words, they had different reactions on their faces, but I couldn't tell them that I allowed this to happen, so that everything would go according to the plot, for Raphtalia's sake.
A little later, we reached the territory of that fat freak and without thinking, attacked the knights who were there.
I didn't let any of them get out alive, all my arrows were fired right into their heads. I didn't kill everyone, Raphtalia, Naofumi and Filo dealt with the rest, I left the bitch behind the tereitorie, since she would only get in the way, and of course, I tied her to a tree, I don't trust her enough to leave her alone
It was then that I saw Raphtalia stop at the entrance underground, biting her lip.
I walked up to her, putting my hand on her shoulder.
"Raphtalia? Are you okay?" I asked her.
"Yeah, it's just…"
"I understand, let's save Melty first and then come back here," I told her.
"Okay." She nodded at me and shook off the tears that were threatening to fall.
We set off again, killing everyone in our path.
We entered the main building, where with the help of a delicate conversation with one of the knights, we found the room we needed.
I simply kicked the door open, which knocked down the knights standing behind it.
I saw that fat bastard who had cornered Melty.
Seriously? Why are there so many pedophiles in this world?
I held back, because I knew that I wasn't the one who should kill him.
When Melty saw us, she immediately ran towards us, but that fat bastard grabbed her by the hair and put his sword to her head.
"Don't come any closer!"
"Air shield!" Naofumi yelled, and a shield appeared between Melty and that bastard, pushing them away.
I immediately caught Melty, and Filo slammed the bastard into the wall with her claws.
"Do you think you can laugh at me? Torture won't be enough! You'll pay with your lives!" the bastard yelled, getting up from the floor and picking up a whip.
"PF" - I couldn't suppress my laughter, because of his monologue, which made me blush even more with anger.
Raphtalia, who was standing next to me, simply stepped forward, and went to this villain who had no time.
He started to whip her, but she didn't even flinch or make a sound of pain.
She just calmly walked towards him.
"Filthy beast girl!" the bastard yelled, hitting her with the whip again, but it didn't stop her. I didn't want to see her get hurt, but it had to be done.
When she approached him, he fell on his back in fear and started to crawl away, Raphtalia took out her sword and went after him.
When the bastard hit the wall, he looked at Raphtalia.
"I..." he couldn't finish, as Raphtalia pierced his throat with her sword.
I sighed, letting go of Melty, and walked up to her, wiping away the tears from her eyes, and also froze the wounds she received from the whip.
"Well, shall we go and see what's in that dungeon?" I asked her, hugging her. Although I knew that it could hurt her...
"Yes." she answered.
I hope he wasn't hurt too much
