Reincarnated With A Glitched System: Why Is My MP Not Running Out? Chapter 284 A New Familiar Contract

-----

"I guess this ans you accept the contract, right?" I asked. "We are official buddies!"

I looked at Beelzebub with a smile. Many people would probably feel disgusted to even talk with a giant fly like him, but I feel like he was pretty cute, he was grumpy like Ignatius and his big eyes are cute, I kind of want to touch them to see how they feel. Also his exoskeleton looks hard like an armor, isn't that kind of cool?

"Y-You're really… Sigh… Ugh, I guess!" He sighed. "I don't have any other option, I ate the food and now… the contract… I guess its gonna take effect?"

"Hehe, nope." I said.

"Eh?!"

"It is only if you agree, Belzeebub!"

"What? You were not forcing to eat to beco your slave?"

"Slave? I don't want you to beco my slave…" I sighed. "What sort of idea do you have of ?"

"Y-You're… a hero's daughter! Heroes… they're monsters that co from the human continent to slaughter our people… I despise humans because of that! They're… evil!"

"Eh? Do you… see us in such a way?" I wondered.

"Humans… They're despicable…" Beelzebub was finally opening to , and he could only speak badly of my race.

"Huh… Well, I am sure that my parents are good people, they raised well and love a lot… I am also part human, but also an elf." I said. "Maybe if I am half-human only, you can accept as your friend?"

"Friend? ?" Asked Beelzebub. "First of all… Why? Why would you want sobody like as your friend? Aren't I ugly and despicable? I've killed countless humans and demons alike for my own selfish goals… I lost my way long ago, I grew… corrupt and broken. I call you monster but… who is the real monster here?"

"T-That's not right!"

"Eh? W-What sort of nonsense- d-don't touch !"

I grabbed Beelzebub long insect legs tightly, as he looked at terrified.

"W-Why do you touch ? All of you people… you saw my tribe as monsters… You heard our cries but you never did nothing… How co… you do not fear my appearance?" He asked.

"There's nothing to fear! You're just a big and grumpy fly." I said. "Flies are just animals, aren't humans kind of like monkeys too or sothing? We all descend from so sort of animal at the end, we are no different."

"A-Animals…? We demons were born to kill all humans, this is the task given to us, don't you know?" He asked. "We are natural enemies of humanity."

"I don't care!"

"Eh?"

"Just because you were made for that purpose you're just going to obey it?"

"T-That's…"

"Aren't you free to do whatever you want, Beelzebub?"

"Of course! …I DO WHATEVER I DESIRE!"

Beelzebub stood up and raised his legs upwards. He seed suddenly pumped up. I guess he had been overthinking many things before, many of such things that made him doubt about having a connection with .

"Beelzebub, I am fully aware you ca to kill my parents and long ti ago… Ignatius was kind of the sa." I sighed. "You you're dead now, right?"

"I-I am… There's no other thing left of than my soul." He said.

"Then it's not like you got any other option to go, right? Or are you telling you actually want to die before having accomplished any of the things you wanted? I can help you out if you want, as long as you don't do anything evil." I said. "How's that?"

"T-That's… I… Didn't you heard all the things I just said so monts ago?! We demons are simply not compatible with you humans!" Beelzebub continued with his rant. "It just baffles to see sobody so willing to befriend a demon such as myself… after I fell so low."

"Hey! I am a demon too! I might not look like a fancy fly like you, but I am sure as hell I am a demon!" Furoh flew to my side. Ignatius, Naturia, and even Alice followed him from behind.

"You… You're just a reject. You never fit in society so you found shelter in this little girl." Said Beelzebub. "Our entire lives are too different… You cannot really be even said to be a true demon, look how weak and pathetic you are."

"What did you said?!" Roared Furoh, as he flew towards Beelzebub. I quickly stopped him before he were to hurt the fly.

"Y-You bastard! Stop insulting Sylphy! She's… such a nice girl! She always does her best and helps … She's literally just working hard to protect what she loves, and she always says that she cares for and sees as family! D-Don't you have a family as well? Can't you relate to her at the very least?! Or are you telling that you were born without feelings now?!" Furoh continued to roar back at Beelzebub.

"T-That's… You don't know a single thing about my past! All the things… I had to endure… My entire tribe being slaughtered by the humans! Why do you think I even joined the Demon King when he finally was born? So we demons could even stand a chance against the despicable humans! Ruthless, cold-hearted monsters that just keep killing and killing… They couldn't even leave my small village in peace! We… we never did any wrong to anybody… Yet… My mother…!"

It felt as if Beelzebub was recalling his past as he spoke, he began to rember mories he had long forgotten when he ate those sweets, and he suddenly started to cry from his big eyes, which he covered with his various arms.

"Beelzebub…" I sighed, slowly moving to his side. He seed to slowly grow smaller and smaller as he recalled his traumas, moving away from my grasp.

"D-Don't go away!"

"Leave alone! I… I don't deserve such kindness… I am not a good person!"

"I know! And that's why… I want to help you out…"

"You're just… delusional."
