The nun walked out of the village and entered the area occupied by the demon clan, arriving at the foot of a picturesque mountain.

"It will be a long climb..." the nun lamented the problem of the high mountain. Just then, a woman appeared before her, landing in front of her in a flash.

The reason for saying "landing" was that the woman did not approach the nun by jumping or running. Her way of descending was rather unique, like an eagle hovering in the sky, getting tired at a certain moment and fluttering her wings to land.

Flap, flap!

The sound of flapping wings came from the sides of the woman's body. She had no shoulders, only two wings attached to the periphery of her hands. Her arms were both hands and wings at the same time.

The nun realized that what she saw was not a human, but a demon with a humanoid appearance. People commonly called her a Harpy!

This kind of demon had a more voluptuous figure than most human women, especially with a pair of full peaks in front, only covered by a single piece of chest cloth. Every time she moved her body, deep "valleys" would shift and change shapes under pressure.

"Keke (mocking laughter), someone actually came close to this side voluntarily? And it's a delicate little girl?" The Harpy extended her hand (wing) and touched the nun's face a few times, causing an itchy sensation that the latter couldn't bring herself to speak of.

"I am a human. Are you one of the demons living here?"

"Keke, can't you tell at a glance? I am a demon, just one who came along with the others. This place is only a temporary nest."

The Harpy was one of the thousands of demons. Whenever needed, she would move with the rest of her companions to a new place to live.

"When to change homes, I can't decide with just my words. It must be determined by the boss."

"The boss? The leader who leads all of you, what kind of demon is he?"

Clearly, the nun had many questions, but she had asked the wrong person.

"Even if I know a lot of information, why should I tell you?"

The Harpy took two or three steps back, instinctively imitating the gestures of a bird, creating distance with the nun. The movement of spreading her wings was like a human pointing with their fingers, conveying the message:

"Leave quickly, don't wander around nearby. If something happens, don't blame me for not warning you!"

"I won't leave! I came specifically to meet your boss."

"Haha? Meet the boss?"

The nun was appraised from head to toe, during which the mocking sound of "keke" never stopped.

"What can a skinny girl like you do when meeting the boss? Assassinate him? Judging by your appearance, you seem pretty weak."

"I am a representative sent by the village. I want to communicate with him to ensure that he doesn't harm the village."

The Harpy thought to herself:

So this girl was elected as a representative by the nearby village?

It's said to be negotiation, but in reality, she's probably just a sacrificial lamb sent by the majority of people in the village, isn't she?

"Sold and counting money for the villagers, such a stupid girl. Haven't seen many like her in recent years... Wait, I will report to the boss and let him decide your fate!"

With a kick of her claw, the Harpy fluttered into the sky, flying in a circle against the flight trajectory. After a few feathers fell, her figure disappeared from the nun's sight.

"I hope the other side is a leader who can reason. If they don't listen to me..."

The nun clasped the cross around her neck, closed her eyes, and muttered, "If I don't survive today, my parents and brother will be able to reunite on the other side." The nun wasn't afraid of what she was about to experience, just a little anxious. When her mood grew tense, her hand holding the cross would tremble, and the copper necklace she wore could break at any moment.

"Hey, what are you muttering?" Hearing a familiar voice, the nun opened her eyes and saw the witch standing in front of her. The witch hung her head and stared at the ground, resembling a bird watching a grain of rice.

"Sister, didn't you go to inform the boss?" "Yes, and haven't I come back already?" "So fast?" The nun widened her beautiful eyes.

"You can't fly, so you'll never understand how fast flying can be." "Then is your boss planning to see me?" "Um, let me make it clear: I did meet the boss, but he didn't say you were allowed to go up the mountain."

"Is that so..." Although she didn't know the reason, the nun felt that she had messed things up. Even though she had never seen the boss before, she concluded that the problem was with herself. The witch noticed the disappointment on the nun's face and quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand! The boss didn't say you were allowed to go up the mountain, but he also didn't say you weren't allowed."

The ambiguous answer implied that the person involved had two options, as the witch continued, "The boss has left the decision up to you: either go back the way you came or go up the mountain without looking back."

The answer had already been decided. The nun didn't want to go back on her decision. "I want to meet your boss!" Seeing the determination in the frail girl, the witch stopped advising her. She turned her back to the nun and bent over, spreading her wings.

"What are you going to do, big sister?" "Of course, I'm going to carry you up the mountain! How fast can a human run even with two legs? How can it compare to these beautiful and convenient wings?" "Big sister, deep down, you are kind, aren't you?" "Kind? Bah! Don't use such detestable words on me. Anyway, hurry up and get on my back. If you dawdle, I'll peck you."
