82. contract
me and seria Both of them couldn’t help but be silent at Luna’s appearance.
“How can you…”
I muttered quietly.
“Dog star.”
“yes. miss.”
Still, it was in front of Luna. I had to pretend to be a proper butler.
Luna came in front of me.
match.
She mercilessly slapped my cheek.
“Did you know I couldn’t find you?”
Surprised, Seria covered her mouth.
Luna raised her hand once more.
It was at that moment that I closed my eyes tightly, thinking that I would get hit one more time.
“Stop it.”
Seria stood up and grabbed Luna’s wrist.
“…The hero is missing.”
Luna looked at Seria with cold eyes.
“no. quit it Luna.”
But Luna didn’t seem to want to back down.
“By what authority. Are you blocking the line between me and Sirius?”
“Because I love him.”
The words of Seria whose honorific title has disappeared.
For an instant, it seemed that Luna’s pupils doubled in size.
“…say it again. Warrior.”
“I am Sirius. no? Because I love Yu-Wol. Put that hand down.”
Luna, who put her hand down, looked at me.
“Looks like you talked.”
I nodded.
I had told Luna that I would hide it, but since Seria had said that, I couldn’t hide it either.
“so. warrior. no, you were talking nonsense I’ll make it easy for you too. Ceria. You think that’s no reason for me to touch Sirius?”
“uh. because i will protect you If you want to hit me, deal with me first. If you are confident.”
Waves began to rise in the lake once again.
Seria and Luna.
The two became the center of concentric circles, and waves began to collide.
“Both of you, stop.”
In the end, I was the one who stood up and stopped them.
“Yuweol!”
“Dog star.”
Two people calling me by different names at the same time.
“Seria. as soon as i go back home I’ll come and talk to you.”
Sarah looked at me with worried eyes.
“But…!”
“are you okay. Listen to me. Seria.”
I spoke to her in the most subdued voice.
“…okay.”
Seria, who had gathered her energy, turned back toward the village.
She seemed to be walking back slowly, but she turned her head once more and warned Luna.
“Don’t touch me.”
“joy.”
Luna crossed her arms as if laughing.
After confirming that Seria had disappeared, I began to prepare myself mentally.
“Dog star.”
Luna, who was standing facing me, opened her mouth.
“yes.”
It was an absolutely polite place.
“Still standing.”
I knew all too well what she wanted.
Luna sat on the rock where Seria and I had been sitting a while ago.
But this time I couldn’t sit next to him.
Our conversation began with me on my knees.
“…Dog star.”
“huh.”
“Looks like you’ve made a very good living.”
My body trembled at the sharp tone of her words.
“okay. Because I can’t stay by your side For not treating me warmly. I acted like I was going to die because of affection. Were you happy that you ran away without telling me? Did you like it?”
“Luna…”
“Answer me. was it good You bastard.”
I couldn’t reply to Luna’s words.
“How far have you been talking?”
“Truth of the village.”
“also.”
It was Luna’s way of speaking that seemed to ask her to tell her everything she had said.
“Did you tell me that my dad is the Demon King?”
“no.”
“why. I should have said that too Why didn’t you go and tell Luna to catch and kill her because she is the daughter of the demon king!”
Unable to win, she yelled at me.
But I knew too.
Even if you say it like that, it’s not the truth.
“…I knew you would come back. Even if you take off the ring. no matter what emergencies may arise. I knew you would come back if I waited.”
Tears welled up in Luna’s eyes.
“But… you didn’t come back. Dog star. I’m waiting… you’re not coming…”
I got up from my knees and hugged her.
“Luna…”
“I don’t know what to do. i’m so anxious Dog star.”
It was all my fault.
“I fear you will disappear even at this moment when you hug me like this. I’m afraid I’ll hold the hero’s hand again.”
Instead of looking for an excuse, he just stroked her hair.
“…Dog star.”
“huh.”
“promise. No, let’s make a contract.”
“Which contract?”
It seemed that he could accept any unfair contract now.
“If everything goes according to our plan. So, if we safely prevent Seria from becoming a hero…”
Luna blurted out her horse’s tail.
“That you spend the rest of your life with me in the Demon Realm.”
“what?”
Even so, it was an absurd contract condition.
“How long did you, a demon, think you could live happily in the human world?”
never thought about it
I was in a hurry to overcome my immediate situation, so I had never drawn well into the distant future.
But the plan I’ve been drawing since the demon world…
He apologized for depriving Seria of his position as a warrior and spent the rest of his life by her side.
“sorry. Luna. That seems difficult to promise…”
“…Instead, I’ll make a condition.”
Luna seemed to be thinking of winning this contract somehow.
And her next words could be said to be unconventional.
“During my time at this academy. Rolling around with dragons. I’ll see you.”
“what?”
For a moment I thought I had heard it wrong.
I was dumbfounded that she, who had been on the verge of going head-to-head with Seria until just a moment ago, would forgive me for contact with Seria.
“As a result of what I have seen of you over the past few months. You can’t forget him anyway.”
Luna’s voice sounded a bit resigned.
“I have to admit what I have to admit. That the hero gave you something I couldn’t give.”
“That… are you serious?”
No matter how much Luna said, it was hard to believe.
“huh. I thought about it the whole time I got here. How can I have you perfectly? What conditions must I put up for you to choose me in the end?”
Luna caressed my cheek.
“I will give you what you want most. Instead, you must pay the price accordingly.”
It was the devil’s whisper.
This contract was a contract to sell my future to make the present comfortable.
“…Even if I end up sharing a bed with Seria. You mean you can stand it? that?”
Didn’t I know you would talk so openly?
Luna’s complexion deteriorated rapidly.
But her answer did not change.
“uh. I’ll see you. After all, it’s common for strong people to have multiple concubines in the Pandemonium. As far as I know, humans will do the same.”
Humans were no different.
Conflict between an empress and a concubine in any imperial family. And the dispute over the succession was so common that it hurt to talk about it.
“…I’ll add one more condition.”
After organizing my thoughts, I asked her.
“Tell me.”
If you listen to this, I will gladly accept my contract.
“With Seria. get along well.”
“Are you out of your mind?”
Luna frowned.
“I am serious.”
“No, do you have to do this to me, who is burning inside because of the four years of the hero? Dog star? I think I’ve given up a lot.”
“If you don’t listen to this, I won’t sign the contract.”
I don’t know.
First of all, I was the one who went out recklessly.
However, as much as I bet on the condition of remaining life, I had to take advantage of it.
At least for the rest of the time at this academy, I didn’t want to see them fighting back and forth.
After doing that for a hundred days, it was me, not the two of them, who would die.
“Dog star.”
“Luna. Didn’t you say you wanted to be chosen last? Then choose now.”
I thought it was important not to give her time to think.
I tried to weave her with sweeter words.
“In a world line where the demon lord doesn’t die, you and I spend every day in the demon realm. without being disturbed by anyone. It’s just the two of us together.”
Even after I said it, there was something creepy about it, but I wondered if Luna would like these words.
“I’m alone with Sirius… forever…”
Luna covered her face with both hands and revealed her face.
I had no idea what I was imagining.
“…good. I will accept it.”
Luna snapped her finger once and a scroll appeared.
Luna, who had accurately written the promises we had made on the scroll, handed it to me to sign.
[After failing the hero’s ‘proof’, Sirius Yuwol promises to spend the rest of his life in the demon realm with Luna, the daughter of the demon king.]
[Instead of Luna, Sirius is the hero. I do not intervene in anything I do with Seria.]
And the small print on the last line.
[Until the period when ‘proof’ is completed, Luna will work cooperatively to maintain a friendly relationship with Seria.]
Writing small doesn’t mean the content is small anyway, so what’s the point of writing small?
However, the content was very clear.
To be honest, I never imagined that Luna would make such a proposal first.
“I signed it.”
“okay.”
Luna looked at me with a satisfied face.
“ah. didn’t tell me a thing If Sirius, the condition of when you do not fulfill the contract.”
what. You never said anything like that.
Luna placed her palm on the scroll.
Then, the shining and transparent writing began to be clearly visible.
[If Sirius breaks this clause. Sirius risked his life to deal with the hero.]
When I’m not with her I am designed to unconditionally kill Seria…
“Then take good care of me! Dog star.”
Luna gave me a bright smile.
