Here's Part 2 of 'As if I Need a Reason', now from Yolda's POV. This time, it's set during the Amnesia Arc. I hope you enjoy!

Yolda

The moment the door closed, I woke up. I had to get out of here and find Oga Tatsumi. However, when I tried to stand up, my body was aching and I found myself having to steady myself several times, being absolutely exhausted. Lack of food and sleep really affects a transdimensional demon, especially after they've been transferring demons non-stop for long periods of time.

A part of me wanted to go and see if Hilda was okay, but I knew better. If I tried to go and check up on her, she'd get mad at me. No, even worse, we both would probably get killed if they saw me. The least I could do was listen to what she told me to do. Using my remaining strength, I created a portal and transferred myself.

When Hilda decided to set me free and change places, it shocked me. I never thought she would do anything like that for me. However, I'll have to admit that our close resemblance actually was a good thing in that situation. The fact that she had risked her own life to set me free… I'll forever be in her debt. And as much as I hate her, I would never want her to be killed or go through what I had been going through.

I finally arrived at the place where Oga Tatsumi was. The house of his friend, Furuichi. However, because I had drained myself of my energy, I very nearly collapsed but Oga caught me before I could hit the floor. Oga, Furuichi, and Lamia were surprised to see me here.

"Y-Yolda?" Furuichi asked, concerned. "What happened? Why are you dressed like Hilda?"

It was getting harder to see as exhaustion started to overwhelm me. But I had to tell them. I opened my mouth to speak, my voice coming out in a whisper. "Oga… Tatsumi…" I whispered. "Please… save Hilda…"

That was the last thing I remember before I passed out.

When I woke up, I was lying in a bed, my hair suddenly free from the bun. I turned to the side and saw Hilda sleeping soundly next to me, much to my confusion. It came back to me. Oga really went out and saved Hilda from the Pillar Squad. Sitting up, I saw Oga lying on a couch, and Furuichi, Lamia, Master En, Master Beel, Isabella, and Satura as well.

Furuichi was the first one to notice me. "Hey, Yolda's awake now!" he said, sounding relieved.

"Yolda!" Master En cried in excitement, running up to me and throwing his arms around me. I hugged him back, so happy to see him again.

Oga and Furuichi told me the story of how Oga and Master Beel had invaded the school all by himself last night, long before the fight. He had beaten nearly every single member of the Pillar Squad, including Jabberwock, all by himself. Well, he did receive the help from the foot soldiers of Master Beel fairly later. They also told me about how Hilda had been crucified on the clock tower and how she was subjected to some memory-erasing fire.

I glanced at Hilda, who was still asleep. "Is she gonna be okay?" I asked as Satura handed me another change of clothing.

"That's the thing," Isabella told me. "Her memories have already been burned away by Salamander's fire. When she wakes up, she won't even remember that she's a demon."

My eyes widened in surprise. "What? She won't even remember a thing?!"

"It seems so," Lamia said. "I'm going to have to talk to Dr. Furcas to see if he has a cure to get rid of her amnesia."

After I had changed clothing and left the house, I thought over this situation again. Hilda's memories have been erased. She won't remember anything, not even her beloved Master Beel. Another fact came to me. She might even be a different person altogether. For some reason, that realization is even more shocking. What would she be like. Would she still be cold and steely? Or would she be warm, kind, and sweet to everyone? Just trying to imagine her as kind and sweet to people other than Master Beel is quite weird.

Ever since we were kids, Hilda was always very obedient and rather firm. I, on the other hand, was more easygoing and fun. It was this stark difference in our personalities that created somewhat of a divide between us. And it only got worse while we were in the Wet Nurse Academy.

Hilda had been so determined to be an excellent wet nurse that she started finding fault with nearly everything I did. She had gone from being insufferable to a downright prude. She criticized me endlessly for being lazy, a flirt, and not taking my studies seriously. I was no better, though. I criticized her for being too serious and uptight. I often told her to stop acting like she had a pole shoved up her ass, to loosen up and have some fun. But Hilda had shut down her emotions completely. By then, she had gone from a prude to a cold, steely, expressionless wet nurse, whose only duty was to serve her master.

Because she had shut all her emotions down, Hilda had become the creme de la creme. The best of all the wet nurses. But what would she be now? She wouldn't recognize me anymore, or remember that she helped set me free.

Right. I definitely owed her one now. She may not remember me, but I might as well do something to pay her back. First, I would have to find out whether there was a way to cancel the effects of Salamander's fire. And to do that, I'd have to find Master En, who had left before me.

I managed to track him down at an arcade the next day, where he was at a fighting game machine with some other pillar demons. "Master En!" I called, approaching him.

He looked up at me curiously. "What is it?" he asked.

"I have an important favour I need you to do," I said. "I want you to find Salamander and ask him for a method to cancel the effects of his Lost Prominence fire."

"What?! But I'm busy! After this game, I'll go find him!" he insisted.

"Please? I'm begging you!" I pleaded. "Hilda risked her life to save mine and set me free, the least I can do is this! Please, Master?"

As expected, it took a lot of begging, cajoling, and pleading, but he finally gave in when I promised that he could have nearly every game in the Human World. He came back with a disc for me, saying that it was a video message from Salamander, who had given the cure for Hilda's amnesia.

I went over to the school that Oga and Master Beel were at, sitting on the roof and having lunch. Sure enough, Hilda was with them, wearing a school uniform. And Master Beel actually had clothes on, much to my surprise. But what I noticed the most was how Hilda looked now. There was definitely something different about her now. Her eyes, which were once cold and steely, now seemed softer and gentle. She even seemed… timid upon seeing me.

A part of me decided to see if she really would recognize me. Putting a hand on my hip, I looked at her in derision. "You look pathetic, Hilda," I told her disdainfully.

"Yolda!" Oga and Furuichi exclaimed.

Much to my surprise, Hilda backed away timidly. "Wh-Who are you?" she asked, her voice small.

Cute as it may be, this was not the Hilda I grew up with. I frowned. "I don't believe this. You really don't remember anything," I said, turning around. "Well, whatever. You're better off this way. Stay just the way you are in this Human World, living a half-assed life."

She still seemed confused. Really, I was trying to be as rude as I could to try and see if she remembered at least something, but it was all gone.

"Hey, wait a second, Yolda! Why the hell did you even come here?!" Furuichi demanded.

I held out the disc and told them that it had the method to cancel Salamander's memory erase. "There's no way in hell I want to keep feeling like I owe you guys anything," I said. I refused to say that I was worried for her out loud. I still had some pride left in me!

Suddenly, I noticed the sad look on Hilda's face. I was shocked. Wouldn't she want her memories back? "What's wrong, Hilda? Aren't you happy?"

"I don't want to find out," she said.

I was stunned now. She didn't want to find out?! But why?! "But your memories will return!" I tried to insist.

"I don't… want them to return."

That's it. I frowned. I had to step up. The Hilda I knew would never act like this. She's the wet nurse of Kaiser de Emperana Beelzebub IV, for crying out loud! "Would you get your act together, Hildegarde?! Have you forgotten that you're the wet nurse of Beelzebub IV, the Great Demon Lord's son?!" I scolded.

But then, Oga made a comment about Master Beel wanting her memories to come back. That's when I saw something that shocked me. Tears were falling down Hilda's face as she smiled sadly. She hadn't cried in such a long time. "Am I… really that unwanted?" she asked, her voice breaking. Before I could even react, she ran off. And I swear, I heard what sounded like a sob from her.

Now, as we followed Oga, who's trying to track Hilda down, I went over this revelation. This Hilda, not only was she kind and motherly, she seemed almost… lonely. Lonely and timid. I do remember that a lot of men were intimidated by her and even talked badly about her behind her back. Hilda never seemed bothered by it, but was it really affecting her this much? Is that why a kiss from her Prince Charming is the only cure? To show her that she's loved?

Now that I think about it, this could probably be the emotions that she has suppressed for so long. Underneath her cold demeanor was a girl who wanted to be loved. We finally found her by the river, cornered by several fodder demons from the Pillar Squad.

Upon seeing her in that position, so vulnerable and scared, I wanted to intervene and do something. She saved my life before, I wanted to do the same. If those guys forced themselves on her while she's amnesiac, who knows what would happen? She would be horribly traumatized, and probably become a shell of her former self. If that happened, I would never forgive myself. And as much as I hate Hilda, she's still my sister and I would never want her to go through such pain.

However, before I could do anything, Oga beat me to the punch. And in only a few seconds, those fodder demons are planted headfirst in the river while Hilda thanked him endlessly. To my surprise, when Oga handed her a serum to return her memories, Master Beel threw it into the river.

Oddly enough, Oga didn't seem to care. Seemed like that neither of them cared what Hilda was like, since it didn't change the fact that she's like his mother. I watched as she teared up, embracing Master Beel as she gave him a small kiss. I smiled slightly. If Master Beel can accept Hilda the way she is now, then I guess I could too.

"Yolda."

I turned to see Hilda, holding Master Beel. A few feet away from her lay a beaten-up Oga. Turned out that her kissing Master Beel brought her memories back, right as Oga trashed her cooking. As much as I'm relieved that her memories are back, I can't help but wonder if she remembers what happened during her amnesia.

"What do you want?" I asked, eyeing her warily.

"I vaguely remember you saying something about how you had obtained a video message from Salamander, who gave the method to bring my memories back," she told me. "Why?"

I raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Why would you do that? Wouldn't you want me to stay amnesiac forever?" Hilda asked.

Averting my eyes, I turned away. "It only makes sense that I repay you, Hilda," I told her in a matter-of-fact tone. "You saved my life and helped me escape, so I decided to find a way to get your memories back. I didn't want to keep on feeling like I owed you anything."

"Really now?" I saw the smug smile on her face.

I scowled. "Don't you dare tell anyone else, got it?" I threatened before dropping the scowl. "I was worried about you, and I wanted to repay you, that's all. I mean, you're my sister, Hilda. As if I even need a reason." I started walking away. "There's nothing else to it!"

As I walked away, I realized something. That was probably the first interaction we've had where we never insulted or criticized each other. Now, I guess I can't really deny it anymore.

As much as I hate her, Hilda will always be my sister. That can't be changed. But if need be, I will fight for her, even if it costs me my life. As if I need a reason to help my own sister.

I hope you enjoyed this little two-shot I wrote! Thanks for reading and tell me what you think! Have a good one!
