Chapter 884 – Hmm, That’s It

000

When Cleon comes to his senses and stands up, Amelia and Sasha, on the other hand, fall down as if their stamina was exhausted.

The cause could have been the sharing of magical power with Cleon while mixing with him, but it was simply due to the consumption of physical strength through the act and the mixing of the body to the point where it was difficult to receive pleasure from the body any longer.

He looked around with an expression of not knowing what to do, and saw Caliburn and Galatea sticking out their faces from under the bed and looking in this direction.

It is the appearance of a child that appears when magical power is low.

Roughly speaking, what happened was all shared in my head by Galatea right before he woke up from his dream, so in a way, I would like to express my gratitude to the two people – no, four people – who were the ones who attacked the sleeping Cleon in reverse. My mind became confused whether I should do it or be careful about the act itself.

＂Cleon, how is your magic power?＂

“The magic engine may not have recovered to its original condition yet, but I think it has at least recovered the magic power necessary for recovery…”

And, when Galatea and Caliburn asked that question, Cleon blinked for a moment, then nodded his head and let out something like a sigh.

“… Ah. If you ask me if I have recovered, it is true that I have improved a lot. Thank you, Caliburn, Galatea. And…”

Sasha and Amelia are lying unconscious on the bed and floor with their eyes closed.

＂It seems like those two people were worried too.＂

“That’s because Cleon doesn’t care that he is sharing his magic power and uses up all of his magic power.”

“Well… We weren’t concerned about that risk until it happened there.”

In fact, if the two people had not chosen to ask Sasha and Amelia to return the magic power to Cleon, they would have been forced to absorb magic power from women with the stamp of domination.

No matter what the amount was, not only was it not very pleasant to suddenly have magical power sucked in, but if the amount was large, an emergency situation could have occurred.

For example, if you were fighting somewhere, it would have been a life-threatening event, and if you were flying in the sky using flight magic, it would have led to a terrible accident.

Even Cleon himself, who engraved the engraving, could not do anything about this, so he had nothing to say even if it was a defect in the engraving itself.

＇… After all, does this power exist to dominate people?＇

Even if Cleon did not intend to use it for that purpose, the imprint, as its name suggests, felt like a power optimized to absorb everything from the subject it had subordinated and manipulate it at will.

Perhaps, the engraving itself contains such will?

As he approaches the truth about the Dark Demon’s clan, his power grows stronger, and what he feels at the same time is that this imprint of domination is something special.

The texture and type of power were different from the engravings of domination that other dark demon clans could engrave.

＂…＂

When it comes to himself, Cleon is not very interested, but if things turn out like this, he feels the need to look a little deeper into the imprint of domination.

＇Now that I think about it, it seems like Aleista from the Jeolgye Realm knew something about engraving…’

Cleon was deep in thought, pulling out from a corner of his mind a story he had heard in passing.

It was that time.

＂Amelia~? Sasha~? Did you move it to Cleon’s room? “Where did you go?”

Lila’s voice coming from outside.

When a slightly high soprano tone voice flows into Cleon’s ears, he is suddenly brought back to reality and looks around once again.

Two people lying on the bed and the floor, exposing all their precious parts.

＂…＂

Cleon’s heart is pounding.

‘It’s dangerous…’

It was clearly not an act of his own will, but it was clear that if other humans, including Lila, saw this, they would not hear such good things about it.

Cleon quickly stands up as he feels cold sweat flowing down his body.

First, he puts his naked clothes on his body, and at the same time lifts Sasha off the floor and puts her on the bed.

＂Ta, deodorization magic.＂

Opening the window and using deodorizing magic in the entire room to remove odors can be done in an instant, and then-

After laying Sasha and Amelia neatly on the bed, he covered them with his own blanket.

If you do this, you can’t tell what’s underneath the neck from the outside.

When Cleon wiped the sweat from his forehead, successfully hiding the traces of his actions to some extent, the door to the room opened at the same time.

＂Are you here…? Hey, Cleon. “Are you awake?”

＂Ah, yes…＂

When Lila, who opened the door and came in, blinked as if she was a little surprised that Cleon had woken up, Cleon nodded her head awkwardly.

“… What happened, so why are you standing like that? Sit a little more and rest – what, Amelia and Sasha are asleep?”

And when he found the two people lying on the bed, breathing lightly and sleeping, his voice became a little astonished.

“… While taking care of me… You two must have been busy today too. I guess I fell asleep because I was relaxed.”

＂Huh… Well. That could be possible.”

Lila nodded her head as if she understood, and seemed to believe Cleon’s words.

The very next moment-

Shashashak! And that is, until something jumps out from under Cleon’s bed.

＂Wow…!＂

＂Aaaaah! What!? Rat!? “

When something the size of a dog or a cat passed by Cleon at high speed, Cleon raised his voice in surprise.

Lila screaming was a bonus.

I never would have thought that there was a beast like that hiding under my bed.

But what I saw next was not a mouse, a cat, or a dog.

It was something that resembled a weasel, with fluffy fur that was darker than a pink peach.

It seemed to walk on four legs, but it had strange, thin tentacle-like things growing from its back, a characteristic that did not match any of the animals in Cleon’s mind.

And, crucially, red eyes that are not ‘like jewels’ but ‘jewels themselves’.

The eyes, which seemed to be made of well-processed garnet, told the story that the beast was a demonic beast.

＂W-what is this guy…?＂

When Cleon, who couldn’t figure out the identity of the guy next to Lila who was looking at her threateningly, muttered that, Lila raised her voice and said, ‘Ah!’

＂I was wondering where you were, why are you popping out here!?＂

Cleon couldn’t help but have a subtle expression as he looked at Lila, who looked for the hidden pet and said that she couldn’t survive.

It seemed as if Lila knew very well what that guy was.

＂… Laila? “What about that demon?”

When she called Lila by her honorific name without even realizing it, she answered kindly with her hand on her waist.

“This guy is Buvre. He was a guy who was being bred in Vajra, and the guys from the Exile Church said they didn’t like him, so he joined them. And, I brought you here because I wanted to see you after defeating Laplace.”

A magical beast that reacts when Laplace’s name comes up.

Cleon decided not to think too much about Lila’s explanation and nodded, saying, ‘Uh, yes.’

“More than that, you are everywhere. He’s not even that small, but he moves so fast. As expected, a demonic beast is a demonic beast… It hurts!”

＂Lila!? Are you okay!?”

When Lila suddenly raised her cries of pain, Cleon looked confused and quickly looked around to find out what was causing her pain.

Then, the demon was grabbing Laila’s hand with the black tentacles growing from its back, and no matter how you look at it, its grip didn’t seem to be at a level that was friendly to a human hand.

＂Hey, this guy…! You really have a nasty temper…! I told you to just wrap it around your hand!”

Before Cleon can even stretch out her hand to knock the buvre’s tentacles away from her hand, Lila wraps her tentacles around her own hand and spits out her displeasure at the buvre.

And, he was talking about Cleon.

“It’s okay, Cleon. This guy can’t speak human language. So, in order to communicate, you have to use magic to share thoughts while connecting your body like this…”

As Lila said so, she made a mental connection with Buvre, as she had promised just before.

And at the same time, Cleon also checked her tentacles that were slowly wrapping around his hands.

“Huh? She also asked me to connect with Cleon…? What? It’s possible, but…”

Apparently, Buvre wanted to talk to Cleon directly, so he asked Lila for a favor.

＂Wait-＂

When Cleon notices something about her, and before he can stop Lila, the two plus one spirit are connected –

First, a girl’s voice, not Lila’s, was heard and penetrated Cleon’s head!

[It was a good sight to see after a long time! Even though you look slovenly, you’re perfect at it!]

[… Ha?]

Cleon could only ask back for a moment as if he did not understand what her words meant.

Of course, it was the same for Lila, so she raised her voice as if questioning her.

[What are you talking about? Cleon must have been sleeping the whole time, so I wonder what he was seeing… And why were you in this room?]

[Since you left me somewhere else, I was observing this guy for a bit like I said, and then other women moved him into the room. So she secretly followed in.]

Buvre says so.

Did neither Amelia nor Sasha notice that this guy came in before they closed the door while moving Cleon…?

Amelia, Sasha, Cleon… Good things to see-

As the information accumulating in Cleon’s mind slowly led to the conclusion, Cleon could not help but look embarrassed in an instant.

If you don’t think about it, it will be passed on to Lila through the magic of sharing thoughts.

The more I think about it, the more that scene briefly passes through my mind-

Of course, that image was also flowing into Laila.

＂Huh!?＂

The indescribable scenes of Galatea, Caliburn, Amelia, and Sasha flashed through Lila’s mind and then disappeared, like a painting meant to evoke a subliminal effect.

Lila, who sounded embarrassed, looked straight toward Cleon, and Buvre continued speaking.

[So that’s human mating? It’s my first time seeing it in person, but it’s pretty intense! It was literally like an animal, you liked it! After all, a man who defeated Laplace should do something like that!]

＂…＂

Cleon, who had no way to stop himself from speaking because his thoughts were being transmitted as is, felt cold sweat breaking out again in an instant as he felt Vuvre’s voice being transmitted to Lila.

Then, Lila was silent for a moment and then looked back at Cleon with a smile on her face.

＂Cleon…? “Can you take the blanket off for a moment?”

＂…＂

Lila speaks as if it is almost certain.

What should I do?

Some may have said that I didn’t take the initiative, but half of the responsibility was also my own for not properly controlling the imprint.

Cleon, who did not want to become an adult who runs away from such responsibilities, had no choice but to approach the bed and gently pull down their blankets.

Then – there, the two naked people were revealed, sleeping in sweat and without clothes yet.

＂…＂

Lila, seeing that, shut her mouth and said nothing for a moment.

Is this… Angry? Or, which one?

Cleon looked at her for a moment at her unclear reaction and then-

“Is Cleon awake? I’d like to talk about the price-“

Another voice came from behind Laila.

“Hey, Mr. Ventuna? Anyway, for now, it’s a bit… Senior Cleon also ran out of magic while fighting for his life in the fortress – ah.”

And, Beatrix appears – Ventuna, a resident of Helix.

Because the two were taller than Lila, they were able to witness the scene in the room without being obscured by her body.

＂H-yeah. Is Cleon really such a devil that he would do things to girls like that and make them faint? I guess so.”

＂… Senior…＂

I received a slightly cold look from Ventuna, whose eyes were slightly disdainful, and from Beatrix, who seemed to be feeling indescribable emotions.

＂…＂

Sasha and Amelia don’t have any privacy, but I feel guilty that things have become the same.

＂＂＂Lolicon…＂＂＂

The blows coming from the three people at the same time hit Cleon’s abdomen like a body blow.

Cleon stumbles, but the very next moment, the next voice is heard from Buvre.

[Hey~! A human called Cleon or something! I decided! You, become my partner!]

…, Vivre throws words that make the situation worse.

Naturally, Lila looked at the beast with a bewildered expression for a moment and then-

“Ha!? “Who wants it!?”

He exploded and raised his voice.

Cleon was meanwhile thinking as he removed his hand from Buvre’s tentacle and endured all the cold gazes directed at him.

＇… From next time, I will make sure to never cause magical exhaustion… ＇

…, With deep regret.
