( Changed [Research] to [Analysis]

As I awoke I was greeted by a beautiful girl wearing elegant clothing, she was standing right beside me as I was on the floor lying down.

I can see her panties, but I'm not a pervert to be aroused by that.

" Hey. I can see them"

" Huh?"

Looking at the direction where I was pointing Alice took some distance and hid her face. Her face turned red probably because she was embarrassed.

It took her a few minutes before she could get over it. Geez this girl is too much.

" So are you okay now? Can you tell me the reason I got here?"

" Hahahaha! You have to beg me for me to tell you the wonderful surprise!"

No. With that smug face of hers, I'd rather just return actually.

" Ok. Can I return now?"

I think I shattered her expectations. She actually thought I was gonna beg her. But no, I'm not gonna do that with your smug face whilst you puff out your nonexistent chest.

"..."

" You should probably stop inflating your ego. I'm not gonna beg a brat like you"

This silence went on for 20 minutes. Not that I care tho, time here doesn't flow exactly as the world. It can be said that in here, Alice could speed up and slow down time as she pleases.

" Ok ok what do you have for me?!"

This would probably go on forever so I asked her. Because even though time flows slower, it doesn't mean that it stops. So I'm practically worried on the condition of my body.

Like a machine being turned on her energetic attitude also returned. That smug annoying face also returned.

" Oi. Are you just gonna keep me here or what? If I get bored here I might just attack you you know?"

I wouldn't actually do that of course, I'm no pervert. And no, I'm not a lolicon.

" Nah you would never do that"

" Any proofs that I won't do that? You can't be sure so you better be quick and send me back"

" There's no need to make sure. I just know"

Well can't argue with that logic, probably because of mind reading or something.

We moved to a new location on an open field atop a hill. Up there were seats and a white table, there was also tea and some snacks in there.

" So what's the reason of sending me here?"

" Oh yeah about that, I just give you a warning and probably help you a bit"

As I was listening to Alice's advice I was actually interested in the snacks she had prepared. There were twelve cookies on my plate and each of them had an animal printed on it. They were the twelve animal signs and each animal print contains a different flavor.

As I was eating one of them a voice spoke out to me.

[Analysis is available. Would you like to analyze?]

Yes. I replied in my mind.

[Analysis Initiated]

I forgot about it, but I got the skill [Analysis] from my previous fight.

" Hey are you even listening? Your life is at stake here you know?"

" Yeah I was. The people known as Fallen Gods are trying to hunt me because I contain a whole lot of divinity."

" Yes and you should be very careful starting from now"

Alice showed me a pure smile. I'm actually happy she was worried about me. Even though I act like I hate her, I actually consider her as a good friend.

Hey. Stop reading my mind. I know you can hear this.

" Oh sorry hahahahaha"

She was happy from the words that came from my head.

" Well now that I told you what you need to know, do you need any help in something?"

" Yes it's hard remembering all my skills actually, can you analyse me or some sort so I can write it on paper?

(As you may know Ryu has a very large skill set)

" Oh and while your at it. Why do I get so much skills easily?"

I was actually bothered by that, it's only been two to three months since I came to this world. But skills were so easy to recieve.

" That's because you have a blessing of a God, or more simply you are chosed by a God"

" Really? Who chose me?"

" Me you dumbass"

"..."

I actually felt dumb for a moment there, or did I just forget the fact that Alice was as Goddess.

" Regarding your skills you could do an analysis on the Guild Halls of the world. They have these stations where you can practically see your info and stats but they are only shown to you and even the Guild cannot see this information.

So I should probably register at a Guild huh? I should look for one when I arrive at a town. But my horns are still a bother and they might get suspicious of me.

In this world Demons are at war with Humans. They have been in that situation for over hundreds of years. The only race the Demons are not at war with is probably the Beastkin.

So in conclusion, I'm stuck in a human country or continent as a Demon. Great.

" Any more you want to know? You have plenty of time you see."

" Hmm then how about if you know any Illusory Spells. I recently acquired Illusory Magic Affinity and I don't know any spells from it"

" Illusory Magic huh. I'm sorry but I don't know any spells from that archive. Still an illusion type magic would probably be great for you"

Yeah, if maybe I learned an illusion type magic where I can hide my horns, then maybe I can travel this Human country safely. I should probably aim for the Beastkin or the Demon Country soon.

" Oh and I'll give you something useful. Close your eyes don't open them till you feel a sting on your chest"

I closed thenmy eyes and silence had filled the vicinity. Only the wind from the hill can be heard. I'm actually confused on what she was trying to do.

As I actually felt the sting in my chest I quickly opened my eyes. I was surprised on what I had saw.

...

Alice was kissing me. I was wondering how I didn't feel her lips touch mine. But I did feel the pain in my chest.

...

This happened for 20 seconds but it felt like an eternity to me.

" Hah. From that you could hide your presence from the Fallen Gods temporarily."

Alice said so whilst panting. She looked very tired and powerless after the kiss.

" I actually suppressed the excess Divinity within you. It was still inside of you that's for sure but I compressed it and have hid it within the Soul. "

I didn't understand what she had explained but I did know that I will have temporary insurance for awhile. This will help me move more freely without having excess worry.

Alice took my first kiss tho. I was actually saving that for the future.

" Don't worry. It was my first time to so we're even"

Oh well what's done is done. I should probably return back.

" That's it then, time to go back"

I actually wanted to stay in this place, the hill had a relaxing, calm atmosphere. But I can't do that because time is flowing, my body can't stay unconscious for long.

" Till next time"

Alice sent me off with a smile and my body began to feel light.

I then awoke in the cave. It was night time and the boy was still asleep. The fire had ran out but thanks to my night vision I quickly put one up.

That was dangerous, fire was needed to ward off monsters. We were probably lucky monsters didn't attack us as we sleep.

As I just woke up and I had nothing to do, I took out some medicinal herbs and plants from my storage and experimented with [Medicine Creation].

It had gone up to level 4 in the morning. The results are 20 below average healing potions. 5 average healing potions. 2 poison antidotes. And one unknown potion that I can't seem to appraise using my [Appraisal] skill.

It was already morning and I was doing some stretching and exercise and was disturbed by the sound of a boy asking to me.

" uhmm excuse me? May I ask your name?"
