“Sera… Did you really say that?”

“..Yeah.”

At Minwoo’s words, Ares lowered his head with a stern expression. It wasn’t because Sarah was close to Minwoo enough to give her relationship advice.

By chance, she heard Sarah talk in her sleep, and her feelings were confirmed. No, even if it wasn’t necessarily true, she vaguely knew that she had feelings for him. Sera’s proactive actions always made Ares think that maybe she liked me.

But it is true that she has deliberately avoided it until now. Because I wanted to cherish everyone’s relationships. She does not want her relationship with Sarah to be ruined by becoming her lover.

Until now, Ares had not wanted to confirm Sera’s feelings by taking such risks.

However, if you clearly know the other person’s feelings, the story is different.

‘Besides, now I… Have decided to be honest with my own feelings.’

However, she originally planned to confess after defeating her demon lord. It was an attempt to give myself an opportunity.

But…

‘It is painful to continue unrequited love…’

Sarah didn’t actually say that. However, in order to encourage her to confess to Ares, Minwoo put pressure on Ares by saying that Sarah had shared her concerns with him.

“Honestly, everyone but you who are involved knows this, but I don’t think we can tolerate you dragging it on too much. Confess it quickly and start dating.”

“Yeah, but…”

We know each other’s feelings, so why don’t we confess? Seeing Ares hesitating even though there was a clear path, Minwoo approached him even more, as if he was frustrated. Since Minwoo had already seen Ares’s inner self through hypnosis, he knew full well what Ares was worried about.

“Surely you’re not thinking something stupid like confessing after defeating the demon lord?”

“Well, that is..!”

When they hit the nail on the head, Ares looked very embarrassed.

Minwoo clicked his tongue and said.

“You… That’s a death flag. Do you know?”

“S-Death flag..? What is that..?”

“No, well… Anyway, there’s something like that. Anyway… It’s better to throw away those thoughts and confess right away. How long do you plan on tormenting Sarah?”

“Ugh…”

What Minwoo said was correct in every detail. It may seem cool to say that you will confess once you defeat the demon lord, but in the end, it only means that you will postpone the matter because you do not have the courage to confess right away. It is not a cool act at all.

Not only is there no promise of defeating the devil, but if the reverse happens, we will face the tragedy of ending without even being able to confirm our feelings for each other.

“If you don’t have the courage, should I give you an opportunity?”

“A chance..?”

“Yes. It’s a solid confession, but women still value atmosphere. If you confess blindly, you might be disappointed.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“So, I’ll create a good opportunity. There’s a place nearby with a good atmosphere.”

“Even if it’s an opportunity… What specifically…?”

“I’ll take care of that… Are you going to do it or not?”

“Ugh…”

As a harem protagonist who is synonymous with indecision, Ares thought about it for a while, but in the end, he nodded to Minwoo’s suggestion.

…

‘I… How long on earth have I been sleeping…?’

Soon Marie realized that she had been asleep all day. She slept so long that her head hurt.

“No one…”

She was left alone in her tent. I didn’t really want someone to take care of me, but… I wasn’t feeling that bad right now, and I just felt like I had slept for a long time.

She came out of the tent.

Although she had improved a lot, she was still very heavy. The heat that had been burning as if I was in heat had almost subsided, but I didn’t know when it would happen again. According to Minwoo’s words, she said that she should be managed by him for at least a month…

It was obvious what management would be like.

“Ugh…”

As Marie recalled the memory of her moments before losing consciousness, her murderous will toward that man boiled over again.

“How… Could you do that to me…”

Because she wasn’t brainwashed, Marie remembered everything she had done.

Mari was violated by Minwoo.

In fact, there were many other strange things to her, such as Luna not recognizing Minwoo, but if she thought about it deeply, she was gritting her teeth as she remembered only one thing right now: the fact that she had been violated by Minwoo .

‘I can’t forgive…’

Yes, it’s not too late now. While you’re still in good shape, let’s find that man and kill him right now. If you use your magic well, you will be able to destroy the man without leaving a trace. To her other colleagues, it would be enough to explain that she is missing.

But she knew nothing about what happened while she was sleeping.

“But… Where is everyone?”

It cannot be said that there is no possibility that she left herself alone and went off to explore the labyrinth. Because training cannot be delayed because of her.

“Still… It’s a bit awkward to leave her alone…”

If that’s really the case, it makes me feel a little lonely… But Marie thought it was something that could not be helped.

However, contrary to Marie’s guess, she was able to find her colleagues quickly. They were preparing a meal by the stream. Minwoo was always in charge of preparing meals, but he was nowhere to be seen. He wasn’t there either with Aisha or Chloe.

“Huh, Marie? Are you awake?”

“Marie..!”

Sera and Ares found themselves and ran to welcome them.

“Mari, are you feeling okay now? I’m really sorry for not being able to stay by your side.”

“No, brother… With something like that.”

Marie felt a little relieved inside, seeing Ares worried about her as usual. It seems like nothing special happened to her while she was sleeping. By the time she had tasted the dish that Sarah had prepared herself, Marie had regained enough composure to throw her harsh words at her again.

As Marie ate with her companions, she chatted about nothing special.

“But… Where is that man, no… Uncle Minwoo…?”

Sarah answered Marie’s question by tilting her head.

“Well..? Seeing that Aisha and Chloe are nowhere to be seen… I guess they went on an outing somewhere together?”

“Hmm…”

Marie was worried. Regarding Minwoo’s matter, she thought, wouldn’t it be a good idea to honestly consult with her colleagues?

Even though he acts like a good guy on the outside, his friends must know that he is actually a trash rapist.

Of course, I won’t believe it easily. That man is good at acting, so he fools everyone.

It would have been nice if there was at least some evidence, but unfortunately, there is no such thing. It would be nice if Luna, who was with us, could serve as a witness, but for some reason she did not recognize Minwoo.

Thinking back, that was also strange. The more I thought about Minwoo, the more I noticed one or two strange things.

“Um… Sister Luna…”

“..?”

When Mari, who usually did not talk much to her, started talking to her, Luna looked at her in silence. It meant asking why.

“Do you… Do you remember… What happened yesterday… No, I don’t know if it was exactly yesterday… What happened at the hot springs… Do you remember?”

“…”

Luna quietly nodded her head at Marie’s words. Marie was excited and continued her words.

“Well, then..! Hurry and find that man… “

“..That man?”

“No, I mean… That guy named Minwoo… “

“?”

The conversation was somehow out of sync. It was only after checking several times that Marie was able to figure out why her conversation with Luna was going astray.

‘That man wasn’t there at that time?’

Luna was in a state where she did not recognize Minwoo at the time. If she had seen him in the first place, she couldn’t have just watched.

She just thought that Marie had been attacked by an incubus and desperately tried to deal with it.

When Marie heard Luna’s her answer her her, she began to become confused.

‘So… Then what happened back then was really what I was hallucinating..?’

That can’t be possible. The sensation, the pain, and the pleasure…

It was definitely real.

But… There is no way to prove it.

Seeing Marie alone and worried, Luna said something insinuating.

“Uncle Minwoo… Is a good person. Mari. If you have any doubts, you can’t use him.”

“…”

Watching Luna say those words, Marie felt a strange sense of strangeness.

Since when did Luna and her older sister become so friendly towards that man?

Something is strange.

Marie was starting to feel this little by little, but her shock was only just beginning.

“Hey, Mari… It’s sudden, but…”

“Huh..?”

Suddenly, Sarah spoke to her with an embarrassed expression. Did something happen?

For some reason, her older brother, Ares, who was next to her, was also avoiding her gaze and scratching his cheek.

“Actually, we… Since yesterday…”

“Eh..?”

Only one day has passed… Of course, I thought nothing had changed…

While she was sleeping for a moment, what she thought was most important changed.

“We… Decided to date.”

“…”

Marie dropped the silverware she was holding.
