237 – Love Story (3)
“Romeo?”
Seeing Romeo’s suddenly strange reaction, Juliet tilts her head. His expression and tone are so innocent that he can’t even imagine what the current situation itself will look like to Romeo.
If Romeo were to look carefully at Juliet’s attitude, she might realize that what she was imagining was an illusion, but unfortunately Romeo cannot look at Juliet carefully at this time. She’s just fixating her five senses on me.
…I don’t think this will work.
If she continues to be a polymorph like this, she will only deepen her misunderstanding.
Gooooo
“What…!?”
As I hurriedly released the polymorph, Romeo’s face, who was looking at me with her eyes wide open, was instantly covered with shock.
It’s good that the negative emotions that I felt from Romeo, such as the sense of betrayal, have disappeared, but it’s a bit disappointing that other types of negative emotions are emerging.
“Ah, devil…”
Romeo feels fear and fear as he looks at me. These are the natural emotions that any living being feels when his or her life is threatened.
Romeo knows that if he doesn’t run away from this place, he will lose his life. No, he does not simply know, but feels it keenly with his soul and body through instinct.
But still, Romeo does not run away.
She just holds Juliet in her arms tightly and moves back little by little with Juliet.
Hmm… First of all, does the personality test pass?
“Ah, Romeo. That person is-“
“I know why you can’t marry Juliet. Her family probably opposes it because she doesn’t fit the bill as your wife.”
“Ugh…”
Juliet, who was about to say something useless, stopped mid-sentence and spoke straight to Romeo. Romeo gently bit the inside of her mouth while sucking in her breath.
I guess it was the perfect answer.
As expected, my guess was correct. Romeo was unable to meet Juliet because of his family’s opposition.
Romeo couldn’t bear to come to see Juliet like this, so he must have come secretly to avoid the eyes of his family.
“Are you going to live like this forever?”
“What?”
“Forever, we will avoid other people’s eyes and only long for love at night like this.”
After hearing what I said, Romeo opens his mouth to fight back, but soon stops talking.
With his mouth open, his airway is blocked and he cannot say anything.
You know it too.
What I said was absolutely right, and if they continue like this, they will face such a future.
Romeo felt shame and embarrassment because the man’s desire to protect Juliet was stronger than the man’s pride in rejecting my words, so he kept his mouth shut.
“I’ll help you. You can show off your love to everyone without having to hide it.”
“…No. A deal with the devil is doomed.”
“A human being who knew how to resist temptation and had no intention of borrowing the power of the devil was truly rational. She said that the girl who summoned me wanted love, and summoned me with the readiness to sacrifice her soul. “I mean.”
“What…? Juliet…?”
After hearing what I said, Romeo reflexively looks down at Juliet.
Juliet just makes an expression that says she is happy that Romeo came here, but in contrast to her, Romeo’s expression seems to embody the word astonishment.
“…Did you make a wish?”
“Yes, I made a wish. I was going to solve it, but since you came, I can no longer fulfill my wish.”
“Demon, then why don’t you just go back? Juliet’s soul will definitely not taste good. She’s such a weak girl.”
“You can’t do that. If you go back without being able to do anything, you can’t get paid.”
Romeo’s expression becomes gloomy.
After not seeing each other for a month, Romeo’s whole body is enveloped by the agony of being mentally driven by Juliet until she summons her devil, and the despair he feels as he imagines the painful future Juliet will face after making a deal with the devil. .
…What is this?

Why is teasing so fun?
Actually, I have no intention of receiving anything in return, but seeing Romeo in such pain deeply stimulates my devilish instincts. I think I understand why such a strong Aigokeros keeps teasing Irene and savoring her negative emotions.
“Since you came like this and your wish has already been fulfilled, I will try to make your wish come true in a different way. I will create a true love that does not care about what others think, a love that you can show off to others.”
“…True love.”
“Yes. Instead of only meeting at night like a petty thief, you will be able to show off your love to your family members during the day when the sun shines. No, not just to your family members, but to everyone in the world. “I’ll solve the problem that Juliet’s family is poor. Juliet, don’t you want that kind of future?”
“No, I don’t mind as long as I can meet Romeo.”
“Stop, it’s so foolish to be so pretentious.”
I tried to secretly incite Juliet to make Romeo fall for her, but unfortunately, Juliet doesn’t understand what I’m saying.
No, I understand it clearly, but I don’t feel the need to do so.
Ah, Juliet, why is her hair such a flower garden?
If you say it doesn’t matter as long as Romeo is there, doesn’t that mean it’s okay if your position is just that of an affair partner?
Ah… Well, since it’s a flower field, it’s probably enough to summon a devil like me.
“So, are you going to refuse? Don’t you want to take revenge on the old people who blocked your love? Since I was summoned like this anyway, I have to do whatever it takes to get the price, so shouldn’t I use the price worth it?”
“…”
“It looks like you have an idea. It’s good. I’ll visit you at the mansion tomorrow, so you can look forward to it.”
Romeo’s expression is so sad. It is only natural for him to show such emotions, since his own love has been given a terminal sentence due to the intervention of his devil.
And the thought of wanting to be as happy as possible with his terminally ill lover seems to have completely changed Romeo’s mind.
Romeo, who had been reluctant to make a deal with the devil just a moment ago, is silently affirming my words with clouded eyes as if he had never done so before.
**********
“Romeo, isn’t he coming? You know that a merchant selling goods from the East is coming today.”
“You said I need to prepare something, but I’m not sure. You’ve been acting weird since you sneaked out last night.”
“Secretly… Are you sure you met that woman again?”
“Perhaps so, right? But it would be normal to be happy if we met, but there’s no way to explain why you’re so gloomy…”
“Well, haven’t you finally broken up with that girl? I’m not sure who dumped her first, but it’s something to be quite happy about. You’ll be able to meet someone of your caliber.”
“hahahaha, that’s right.”
The servants who are loyal to Romeo’s family, the Montague family, gossip about the master’s actions, and in the meantime, they sincerely hope for the Montague family to prosper. The more the Montague family prospers, the more they benefit from their employment.
For the servants, the relationship between Juliet, a woman of no means, and the Master was something so terrible that it was difficult to imagine and they did not want to imagine, but if it was resolved neatly, it would be something to be happy about.
“Ah, the merchant who came the day before has arrived. He just passed through the gate with his cart… Hmm?”
“Why are you doing that?”
Looking through the window, the servant sees the merchant he spoke of yesterday leading a cart and passing through the gate of the mansion. He tells everyone that the merchant has come, but eventually he also begins to feel doubts.
There are too many carts… But there are too many. It is an overwhelming amount of carts, enough to fill the garden of the mansion. It is not even an empty cart, but a cart filled with a lot of wealth.
Moreover, it is not just a cart.
Since a gorgeous carriage, apparently riding a noble lady, is also coming in, everyone who sees it can’t help but be dumbfounded.
I wonder if the residents living nearby come out to see what’s going on at Montague Mansion.
“This is…”
“Ah, you are the servant I saw yesterday. Hello, I came to see you again as promised yesterday.”
“Keu, keuhm… Welcome.”
The servant is greatly intimidated by Faust due to the overwhelming wave of wealth, but in order to protect the prestige of the Montague family, the servant greets Faust by suppressing it as much as possible so as not to be noticed.
It’s meaningless anyway, since everything I’ve been holding in has already been discovered.
“Originally, I was the only one who was planning to visit, but things got a little complicated. So my lord came here too.”
“Master… Is this…?”
“Yes, there is a popular saying that merchants wander the world without a foundation, but if merchants really wander the world without any foundation, wouldn’t they go bankrupt? Only with the protection of nobles and a base can they do business easily.”
At that moment, the door of the luxuriously decorated carriage was elegantly opened by Aigokeros, and soon a beautiful woman with whom anyone would fall in love at first sight walked down from there.
And the woman’s face is a face that most servants working at the Montague mansion know.
“It’s been a long time since I came here. I’ve been kicked out countless times.”
Juliet, dressed in an old-fashioned, elegant pure white dress that is extravagant but not vulgar, looks around her and says this with a slight smile on her face.
Montague’s servants who checked Juliet were just astonished and kept her eyes wide open.
