Chapter 2 – Episode 2 – Headache (1)

He woke up with a headache that shattered his head.
Hernán opened his eyes thinking it was the most unpleasant morning he had ever experienced.

“Woke up?”

Karine got up first, and she was already wearing her usual clothes.
But in her hands were clothes she had never seen before.

“Are those clothes from the drawer?”

“Huh. Is this the first form you see? I’ve never seen one in my adventures.”

The color or structure itself is plain, but it was probably a garment that would be exposed if worn.
Perhaps the limbs are exposed as they are.
Imagining Karine wearing it, I suddenly got up from the bed.

“Did we just sleep last night?”

She nodded, unfolded her clothes, looked around, and put them back in her drawer.

“There’s no way that could have happened since Hernan’s head had a restraining spell on it.”

“Carine.”

Hernan remembered the story she heard from the demon king yesterday.

“Maybe the magic in my head. Will there be a problem if there is not enough magic around?”

After Karine was silent for a moment, she came over to the bed where Hernan was and sat down.

“You should be able to get out of here before then.”

“You mean there will be problems? Why didn’t you tell me beforehand?”

“Because in general, there is no way that there is no magical environment.”

Carine calmly met Hernán’s eyes.
Hernán felt her headache slightly increase when she met those blue eyes.

“And that magic can really be dispelled without any side effects once you return to the royal family. I don’t want to make my future partner impotent.”

She handed Hernán her usual top, and Carine grabbed him by the shoulder and touched him.
A cool yet delicate touch.
I felt a sensation arise that I had never experienced while touching Carine before.

Exactly what the sensation was is unclear, but she seemed to have felt it during her sexuality.

“By the way, L.”

Nicknames allowed only for lovers are always useful when it comes to getting Hernán’s attention.
Hernan reflexively turned her gaze to her.

“Who told you that? Wizard? Or a saint?”

“The Demon King told me.”

“As expected.”

Carine didn’t ask further and got out of bed.
Then, her swaying silver hair slapped her in the face.
Hernan, who came to his senses from the not-so-disappointing blow, began preparing to go out.

It’s only been two days since I’ve been locked up.
There is no need to dwell on already bleak predictions.
Hernán smiled at Karine, who waited at her door, ignoring her throbbing headache.

* * *

“Did you sleep well?”

Saint Marina came out first.
Unlike usual, she was not wearing a priest’s hat, and her fair blond hair was shining in the bright light.

“Huh. Is anyone else still there?”

Her warrior greeted her as she sat down in her chair beside her.
The saintess also greeted Hernan and pointed to her toilet and bathroom.

“The other two are doing their morning work or washing up.”

The saint always expressed her menstrual phenomena in this way.
While sleeping often, we thought that we had broken down each other, but this still seems awkward.

Hernán nodded to her saintess and recalled her remaining one.

“Has the demon king not come out, saintess?”

“It will be difficult to come out on your own because you are tied up. Originally, when Silnia came out, she tried to bring it out together.”

If Silnia goes to pick up the demon king, she will be noisy from morning.
Hernan, who decided that it would be better for him to bring him, stood up.

“Go to the Demon King?”

The hero caught Hernán’s steps with an emotionless voice.

“If Silnia is brought in, she will come out grunting at all costs. It’s a headache, so I’ll bring it.”

The hero seemed reluctant, but he didn’t even bother to oppose it.
Every time she mentioned the Demon King, her mood seemed bad.
While she was here, she felt that she should refrain from talking to the demon king in front of the hero as much as possible.

“I came to pick you up. Are you awake?”

“Let me out quickly!”

After entering the demon king’s room, I heard a terrifying shout as I closed the door.
She was terrified by the sudden onset of headache.

“Don’t scream. It’s about to break her head.”

“Hernan! It’s you?”

The demon king struggled and turned his body over.
Looking this way, she had a strange expression mixed with joy and nervousness.

“I want to solve my morning erection first, but please let me go first.”

“I wonder who isn’t a succubus…”

Her face turned more serious as she lifted her with her hands and feet bound.

“Where are you sick?”

That unusual face had the side of stimulating even Hernan, who was suffering from her headache.

“Wow, bathroom.”

The demon king gritted his teeth and muttered.

Hernán felt absurd.
Do demons use the toilet too?

Besides, isn’t the demon lord a dreamer?
Since I knew that the dreamer was a being who lived by sucking the spirits of the opposite sex, I felt that her reaction was odd.

“We also eat food, and when it’s cheap, it’s cheap! Did you see that elves can’t eat meat because they’re vegetarian?”

“What about our elves?”

“I must have been less hungry! Ugh…”

The demon king’s face went pale.
Hernán felt her ominous and pulled her away from her body.

“Ah, it’s not cheap yet, so hurry up…”

The demon king bowed her head pitifully.

Spitting countless curses into her, Hernán hurriedly headed to the bathroom.
She asked the hero and the saintess in the living room what was going on, but she kept her mouth shut and ran into the bathroom she had seen yesterday.
I hope the demon king has a strong bladder.

“Kyaaak!”

Wizard Potty suddenly saw the demon king and retreated to the bathroom wall in fright.
Even when she went to the bathroom, her body was completely covered except for her face.
After she told her to get out of there, she opened one of the compartment’s doors.

“Now take care of it!”

“Don’t play around and free her limbs.”

The Demon King grabbed Hernán’s arm with his free tail.
To be honest, it wasn’t a very strong force, so I could do anything to get rid of it.
However, at the demon king’s words, Hernán pulled out her dagger.

“If I get tired of my clothes, are you going to ask your lover to wash them?”

“Okay, shut your mouth.”

After cutting off the ropes that bound her hands and feet, he slammed the cubicle door shut.
Inside her, she began to hear her merry hum, and it was enough to make Hernán’s judgment twisted.

“Do, thief…”

Then I saw that there was another person next to me.
Potty trembled and pointed to the compartment where the demon king entered.

“I haven’t seen anything yet, but if the demon king is by my side…”

Are you sure you want me to stay by your side until you’re done?
I haven’t been able to do that with Karine, her lover yet.

“Sylnia!”

In the end, I called the name of the craziest bitch at the party.
Like her elf, Silnia, who had heard her self-name even from afar, came to the bathroom with her face covered in water.
Perhaps it was because they were a race blessed by the god of youth and beauty, and even after they had been washed roughly, there were no obvious flaws to be found.

“Why are you calling me all morning?”

“Still, you’ve come.”

Hernán hurriedly escaped her bathroom, thanking her god that she had at least a sense of her fellowship.

“Hey! Tell me why you called.”

“Listen to Potty.”

When I left the chaos behind and came out of the bathroom, the hero and the saintess were looking at something.
And it was the meal everyone had been waiting for.

“Where are you from?”

Hernán stood beside her warrior, calming her throbbing head.
The warrior pointed to a section of the wall.

“Suddenly, there was a small hole there, and he spit out his meal and disappeared.”

“Is there any possibility of escaping there?”

“Doesn’t exist. It opens in a very short time, and it is not at all big enough for people to pass through.”

She seemed to have completely eliminated the possibility of self-escape.
If so, it is better to focus on what is right in front of you rather than focusing on meaningless possibilities.

The meals that the hero and the saintess put on the table were ordinary, if ordinary.
Black bread, dried fruit and meat. And cheese and water.
It was a good level beyond familiarity to the group who had already been accustomed to rough meals through adventures.

However, the quantity seemed a bit small.

“Is this all? It seems like the right amount for four women.”

Perhaps the majority of the members here are women, so the amount of meals was appropriate for women.
In other words, Hernan, a man, seemed to need a tricky distribution to eat his fill.

“No need to worry about that.”

The hero lifted something from under the wall he pointed to earlier.
On a silver tray resembling the color of her hair, there was good food that was incomparable to what was already on the table.

“Is it a special meal?”

While the saintess tilted her head, Karine held up the paper that was placed on her tray.

“The meal of Hernán Terotas and Carine Paoliates.”

As Hernan read it, Karine nodded her head.

“I don’t know why, but I think it came out separately for us.”

The amount looked good enough for just two people to eat.
And although I don’t know how, it was a luxurious meal that included sweets and tea that Karine liked.

“I’ll be quiet, so don’t pull the horn!”

At that moment, the voice of the demon king in pain was heard from the bathroom.
As soon as he intuited that the expected situation had occurred, he saw Silnia grabbing the demon king’s horn and coming out.
The wizard was also coming out following him.

“It’s been a really boring year. Do I have to go to the bathroom every time and tie it up and release it every time I eat?”

The elf brushed his still dry blue hair with his free hand.
The demon king kept begging her to let go of her horn, but she didn’t let go until she reached the table.
I’m sure he’ll tell you to kill him next time.

“Let’s just kill him.”

It felt like fire.
The word fiery personality doesn’t suit a laid-back, forest-loving elf, but it’s a very appropriate word for Silnia.

On a battlefield where there are enemies to be burned, you should be closer than anyone else, but in peacetime, you should keep away from yourself to protect yourself and the things you hold dear.

“Sah, save me…”

The demon king looked at Hernan and her saintess pitifully.
At least, they are the people who treated the devil kindly here, so they must be asking for help.

“Sylnia. It’s powerless anyway, so just leave it alone. Is everyone okay?”

“Is it so. Even the demon lord won’t want to fight with us. And we are outnumbered, so if anything happens, we can take it down.”

Silnia dissatisfiedly slapped the demon king on the cheek and looked at her hero.
No matter how outgoing she is, it would be difficult for her to ignore it if the hero, the leader of this party, tolerates the demon lord.

Strangely, instead of glaring at the demon king, the hero stared blankly at Hernán.
Hernán shrugged his shoulders, not knowing why.

It’s nice to come here and see a lot of new sides to the hero, but it would be even better if you knew what those actions mean.

“Good. Let’s let it go, since you can subdue at least one of those dream demons with your bare hands.”

“It’s definitely the same answer as the elders back home.”

Silnia grumbled and grabbed her by the horns.

“Evil!”

A harsh sound echoed as the demon king’s forehead met her table.
Forty flinched and tried to move her chair away from Silnia.
Even the saintess and the hero sighed, but she didn’t say anything more when Silnia took the demon king’s head down on her table.

After all, she is the one who leads the demon lord and the demon tribe and puts the children of the gods into pain.

The meal was moved to the demon king who sadly stroked his sore forehead.
The demon king looked at the person who handed him the meal with his slightly wet eyes.

“Did you say that? Even a succubus should eat something to eat.”

At Hernan’s words, Demon King Sharpie immediately put the bread into his mouth with a smile.
