Chapter 174 – The Real Hero

“Come to think of it.”

“Yes.”

Stella’s expression darkens.

“My sister, you collapsed before we set off.”

“Yes. Because i’m tired
It must have been a big shock.”

Just before I escaped, I knew that I was a demon
I inquired about several things,
Return to the meeting right away.
It was too forced a march for sickly Anne.

“… Can it get better?”

“Well.
I can’t guarantee it, but it will be long.
Mental trauma lasts a long time.”

“… I’m worried.
It’s a phobia of men.
I was really surprised.
How long does treatment usually take?”

“Each patient is different.
It takes at least 6 months or more.
It’s not a cure, but if it’s to the extent that everyday life is possible.”

“Is it complete?”

“Everyone is so different that I can’t say for sure.
You’ll be comfortable thinking that it will take at least a year.
It’s just that the sick princess has a strong heart, so let’s believe that.”

“Is that so…”

“Do not worry too much.
There are several solutions.
First, I will start with a very simple solution.”

“What is it?”

Stella staring at me with rabbit-like eyes open.
Unknowingly, I lower my eyes.

“With mind control magic…”

“That’s not okay.”

“I knew it.
In fact, I don’t want to either.”

“… Why?”

What?
‘Lie!! As expected, this pervert bastard!!” I thought you would shout.
Isn’t it this time?

“You saw it today.
… I don’t want to go through that kind of thing anymore.”

“What kind of thing is that?”

No, this woman
You’ve seen it all right?

I frowned, but
She calmly looked into my eyes.

“The ‘things’ you feel
It may be different from what I think.
I want to hear it from your mouth.
Can you talk to me?”

“…”

When you speak so calmly,
He is Anne’s younger sister.

“What can I say…
It controls the mind and rather I regret it.
The act of giving love to a target that should not be given affection.
I hurt the woman I was trying to hurt…
It hurts me to see that.
Trying to heal her wounds belatedly.
Being rejected and frustrated.
Such a thing.
I don’t want to go through that anymore.”

“You’re not my sister.”

“Yes?”

Stella blinks.
A small candle reflected in the snow twinkles like a morning star.
It’s like there are stars in her eyes.
Eyes shining like the stars shining on the night sea.
Is this why she is the ‘Princess of the Star’?

“My older sister is not something one should not love,
It’s not like I’m trying to hurt you.”

“I heard and saw it.”

“He’s the person you were considering as a target for an arranged marriage.”

“Yes. But the same goes for you.”

“I-I am different!”

“What is different?”

“My older sister is enough for you to risk her life and jump into enemy lines… She is a loving person.”

“Oh, that’s not it.”

“Lie.”

“Is it real?”

“Do you keep doing this?”

“Really.
When you first arrive at the Nuvacane Lair,
Do you remember the conversation with the sickly princess?”

[Why did you save me?]

[Because I promised to save you.]

[No, why did you want to save it?]

[Because you were kind to me.]

[Yes?]

[Give me something delicious when you visit,
After the terrorist attack on the cathedral, I was afraid that it would be dangerous, so I slept in a separate palace.
Thank you for giving me money too.
Marianne said that she would protect her whenever she came to the palace.
Because you promised first.
The favor shown to Marie was done to me.]

[…]

[Isn’t that enough?]

It did.
It was.
That was enough.

“I heard that the sickly princess can determine the truth?
It was all true.”

“…”

“What is it. Were you jealous of that?”

“Isn’t that jealous?!”

“To be really cool, that’s it.
Sympathy? Debt consciousness? Heroism? Sense of justice? Responsibility? A sense of duty?
Something like that
To be honest, the sick princess
To love like Angela or Marianne
Not at all.”

“… So, do you love Sir Angela or Miss Marianne that much?”

“Yes.”

“And. How can you not worry for even a second?”

“Because I’m sure.”

“… Even if you get beaten up and resent me like that?
Even if I hate you never to see you again?”

“Yes.
I will definitely go pick it up.
Those two never give up.”

“If you had to choose between the two?”

“No, I do not want. I will choose both.”

“In the religion of the sun, incestuous marriages are allowed, but polygamy is not allowed.”

“Because I am the Demon King, I believe in the Black Sun God.
Polygamy is common among us.”

“Then I don’t get along with them either.”

“The former King Amitie also welcomed Queen Grace as the second,
Did you have a concubine?”

“Kuhm! Well, not everyone lives religiously.”

“What. There are so many exceptions.”

“Ah, whatever!
What if they tell you to choose one or the other?”

Oh, why do you keep asking about this?
I don’t want to gossip about my love story.

“Somehow I bring them both.
Over end. Stop asking questions.”

“Sir, it’s not funny.”

“…”

Hunger strikes.
I’m tired…

I fell asleep, missing Stella’s last words.

“… I’m really envious.
You’re not the prince on a white horse…
He seemed more like a real hero than he really was.
What does it feel like to be unconditionally loved by such a man?
Ah! That, that’s not what you’re going to get!
Just curious!
… Sleep?
No way…”

Coo…

* * *

I met Rebekah in a dream.
I didn’t even know that Rebekah was dead.
I spoke naturally.

[Rebekah!! Long time no see!! I missed you so much!!]

I ran to her and took her in my arms at once.
She fits right into my arms.
She laughed heartily without saying anything.
I held her hand and ran happily up the hill.

[Look at this flower~ Does it really look like you?
If I have something to symbolize flowers in the future,
I will definitely use this flower!]

Rebekah laughed and laughed.
She picked a day lily flower and put it in my ear.
Like Hwarangdo carrying a rose of Sharon,
I proudly put her flowers that resembled her and walked.

[I’ll make you a flower ring. Sit down!]

Me sitting on the floor
Rebekah gently sits on my lap.
I made her a flower ring while holding her
I got life counseling.

[The truth is…
I had a fight with Marie.
Even though I was wrong on one side.
I’m hypnotized, but I don’t know what to do.]

Sararak.

Rebekah listened to my complaint and touched my hair.
I closed my eyes at her touch.
It was a touch I hadn’t felt in a very long time.

I feel the touch,
Suddenly, tears flowed.
What? Why do I cry

That moment.

“Wake up.
Breakfast is ready.”

“Oooooh…”

I woke up.

“Ah…”

From that day on, Rebekah first appeared in her dream…

“I wanted to do more… Shit.”

“Did you have a nice dream?”

“The dream I most wanted to have.”

My whole body is sore. I feel sleepy.
The crack in her mouth was less healed,
As a side effect of berserk pills and blood overdrive
Body is a mess

Took.

“?!”

Udangtang!

“Ouch…”

“What are you doing?”

“Oh my. I couldn’t adapt to my smaller body.”

My body is still the same as when I was a 13-year-old boy.
A boy with fluffy fur.
The length of the limbs is shortened,
As she got out of bed, she tripped.

“It hasn’t grown up yet.”

“It’s been a while since I’ve recovered my mana.
Let’s go eat.”

This.
Now that I’m standing on the floor in slippers, I get it.
I’m a bit shorter than Stella right now?
Hurt self-esteem.

“… It’s a little cute because it’s small.”

Hehe, embarrassing.”

“Oh what? Let’s go get something to eat.”

He puffs up his cheeks again and thumps
Stella goes to the restaurant.

“The food here is so good that I want to come again.”

“It’s good if you can’t eat when you come back.”

“Why?”

“If Nuvacane dies, this kind of service will also disappear.
If that winged lizard still lives,
We’re at risk
I see that this service is still going on.
Looks like Nuvacane is still alive and well.”

At my words, Stella got a little depressed.

The meal was quite tasty.
Today’s dessert is cinnamon-covered grilled pineapple and coffee.
I guess Nuvacane likes coffee?

“Have you recovered your magic?”

“No. I need to recover some more.
But I don’t think we will have to wait all day.”

“Then, Princess.
Would you like to take a look at the dragon’s study?”

“Oh wow. Is it so!”

A space-shifting magician with shining eyes.
He also has a high academic zeal.
While she was bathing last night I explored
I was guided to Nuvacane’s study.
Various magic books, tools, spells, etc.

“Take whatever you want as a souvenir.”

“How about you?”

“I already got it. Like this.”

“Wow, shame!
This summoning spell book is something I covet!”

“Then let’s see.”

“? I’d give in so easily, so why did you take care of it in advance?”

“Because I don’t know what might happen.
There is an authority on space movement magic right in front of you.
Wouldn’t it be nice to get some help?
Did you say yesterday?
Leave the things I can’t do to someone who is good at it
You can learn it.”

“…”

“Why?”

“No.
Just… I think it would be like this if I had an older brother.”

“Yes?”

“Oh, nothing!
But what are the summoning magics you’re curious about?
Summoning magic is a fusion of search, space movement, and stealing magic, so
I can help!”

“Oh, that’s great.
Let’s sit here together in a rocking chair.
Whoops.
Yesterday, after summoning the national treasure level magic weapon twice, I was exhausted.
How to reduce power consumption…”

“Ah, did you mean the magic flute?
Summoning magic spells are like this…
Even in this book, let’s see… Here.
What is written in this part… It means this.”

We sat in a two-person rocking chair with our smaller bodies.
Read the magic book together and put your heads together.
Learn more about summoning magic for the next battle.

“… You can say
How is it, is it that easy?”

“And. Certainly, the teleportation wizard is different.
I think you are doing better than our master.”

“Heh. Sure.
But who is Master?”

“‘The illusionist’ Nene Blanche.”

“That Demon King’s Four Heavenly Kings?!”

“Yes.”

She looked back at me and blinked her big eyes.

“Oh right. You said you were from a corps commander, right?
It’s not strange to be a disciple of the Four Heavenly Kings…
He is also a hypnotist.
Hmm, that beautiful person?”

“Have you seen our master?”

I depend on this.
The princess of the star who is just over 20 years old knows our teacher?

“When I went with Obama to the fairy forest,
I’ve seen you come as a reaper.
It was when I went to meet the ‘Queen of Flowers’.
… She said she was very pretty.
He’s tall, has good proportions, and that… That body… Very…”

“That’s right?!?! Isn’t it pretty?!
Wow!!
A woman who is really that pretty… What?
Why are you looking at me like that?”

“Oh, don’t even look at a tree you can’t climb.
A disciple who flirts with his master.
Did she know that she must have suffered too?”

“It’s not.
Master said he was happy to meet me.”

“He was a true teacher who cared for his true disciples.
To protect the disciple’s mentality, he uses a lot of effort…”

“She was my girlfriend.”

“… Yes? I beg your pardon?”

“She was my girlfriend.
One of the two girlfriends I told you about.
He is my master.”

“Nonsense!!
She’s that pretty girl?!
What the hell is lacking with this, this kind of pervert… ?!”

“Heh, I guess I’m a demonic man.”

“Ah, unlucky!!
It is a lie!
You’re lying by saying I don’t know about the demon lord!
To make fun of me!”

“Go back to the palace later and ask my men.
Let’s see what he will answer.”

“…”

It must have been quite shocking.
Stella clutched his head,
It repeats ‘nonsense’.

“Even Master liked me first.”

“No! This is a real lie!!
There’s no way!!
She’s that kind of woman, what the hell is lacking?!
Why did I meet a phase pervert like you?
Oh, I see.
I guess I was lonely because I was so pretty that men felt pressured!”

“No. The suitors are still standing in line.
And since I’ve won 20 beauty contests,
At that time, I heard that the suitor went around the parade ground twice in two columns.
It’s half that now.”

I’ll find the other half and destroy it,
It was reduced because Master rejected it.
The problem is that even if you reject it, it continues to grow.
Stop it, you leeches.
Thats my girl

“No, no!
Hey, this is magic.
No, is it hypnosis?
When did you hypnotize me?
No, did you hypnotize her?
Right? Yes?”

“Because it’s not…”

Master asked me to hypnosis, but I didn’t.
Come to think of it, is the necklace you put around Master’s neck going well?

Oh right, there is proof.

“Now, here is the proof.
A gift from Master.”

“Why a dagger all of a sudden?”

“Look what’s written on the doorknob here.”

“Yes, ♥ Kamyu? Didn’t you manipulate it?
Are you a sasaeng fan or a stalker?”

“No it’s not?! One more proof!
Right here!”

Baek!

“Aaaaa It’s pervert!!
Uh, those are the panties from yesterday!!!!!”

“Oh, don’t hit me!
Come on, don’t be surprised!!
The main character of these panties is… !”

Baek! Baek!!

“Kyaaaaa!!! Get rid of it!!
You pervert bastard!!!”

Ah. I showed you the evidence, so why are you making a fuss?
He really can’t
Sooner or later, I’ll put swords on my Valkyrie armor
I’m going to have to write my name with my ass.
There is no selfishness, selfishness!!
It’s only because it’s a penalty!! Hehe!!
