"Not so fierce without your masks and your guns, are you?" Ilassa taunted.

In hindsight, tormenting a wounded human male marooned in her realm wasn't one of the Demon Princess' prouder moments. But this seemed to be the only way to get their kind to listen.

Not bothering to wait for an answer for the petrified EWA Commissar, she continued.

"Can you walk or must I carry you there like an infant?"

"I....I can walk, dämon edelfrau...." the disgraced soldier said nervously.

"Then what are you waiting for...." Ilassa asked as she released him from her grip. "Leave. Get yourself patched up so you won't leave any more of your gutter blood on my sacred homeland...."

The demon princess followed him as far as the impromptu cordon set up by the troops under Merse's command, where they obligingly moved aside to allow the two of them to pass.

As she was looking for the echidna commander, she spied the EWA sergeant from earlier. For whatever reason, he was on the same side of the cordon Merse had set up. The dejected NCO sat seemingly unnoticed by the Mamono surrounding him, his face virtually buried in his hands. As she contemplated going to him, Ilassa could see a tiny figure make his way up to him and gently tug on his sleeve.

It was the Kikimora child. The sergeant didn't look up right away and tried shrugging her off, but she tugged on his sleeve once again. This time he looked up and saw the little kikimora.

She didn't say a word, but simply held up a Mars bar from her Refugee MRE, offering it to him.
