Demon Noble Girl ~Story of a Careless Demon~

Volume 1 ; Chapter 2: I became a Demon

The black panther and I began our cohabitation.

Saying that, since my identity is that of a girl, and the black panther speaks in that wonderful masculine voice, doesn't this mean we're like a couple living together? Or so I hoped, but I'm his pet.

Thinking about that makes my heart beat a little faster.

"[...... What are you thinking about?]"

"[No, nothing really.]"

This panther has surprisingly good intuition.

"[Ah, right right, there's something I wanted to ask you about.]"

"[...... What is it?]"

The black panther unexpectedly replied without reluctance, albeit in a suspicious tone.

Although the area we were in was the black panther's territory, he didn't have a home in it. Since we didn't require neither sleep or meals, we had no need for a location that guaranteed safety.

Nevertheless, although I did wish for a safe place, due to my body being that of a kitten. However, the stronger demons that would normally attack me wouldn't draw near, fearing the black panther.

"[This place we're at...where is it?]"

In response to my vague question, the black panther slightly narrowed his eyes... but still replied after several seconds.

"[By this place... you mean, rather than within my territory, where we are within this world ?]"

"[Right right, that's it.]"

He's so smart~..... I'm alone in my idiocy huh.

"[Even with enough intelligence to allow you to converse, you don't know...? Didn't you learn words after being summoned?]"

"[Su-summoned? No, I was born just recently......]"

"[What?......]"

While still nervous from the black panther's surprised growl, I decided to explain. Of course, what I explained was the dream world, but since he mentioned the word [Summoned], I felt that it was better not to speak of the part where I was a human.

"[Memories of a dream......how strange.]"

"[I know right~.]"

A huge black panther and a golden kitten, seriously nodding at one another... Pretty surreal.

Surprisingly, the black panther easily accepted my explanation. Well, he is highly intelligent, but more than that it must be that the strong didn't fuss over such small things.

"[So, about this world......]"

"[Ah, yes...... this world has many different names. The truth of the matter is that you can't truly understand unless you've existed since the beginning of this world.]"

T-that kind of technical answer isn't what I wanted to hear....

"[But the humans use a mere few words to portray this kind of world. They call it the [Spiritual Plane].]"

"[......Spiritual plane...?]"

The black panther explained in simplified terms so that I could understand.

The [Material Plane] was where the beings with life existed, such as humans, animals and the like.

In this world, the [Spiritual Plane], those that were the exceptions... the beings that possessed no flesh or bones, existed.
