Chapter 90 – The Succubus Queen

At the hero’s question, I froze on the spot.

It was because I never thought that I would ask for something like that after I had done everything I had to do.

No, isn’t it… ?

For a moment, I almost made a dumbfounded expression, but I thought that if I thought about what had happened so far, it would not be so strange even if the hero thought that way.

If you think about it, the hero and I did it for the first time to save Ruril, and after that, we didn’t talk to each other and just repeated our bodies.

It’s because we’ve been doing it all the time without talking about important things like dating officially or getting married.

It feels a bit strange to say that you’ve been like that all along without even dating.

Maybe that’s why the warrior also became curious.

Are we really dating?

Perhaps the hero asked me with that thought in mind.

Is it true that we are really dating, or is it a relationship between only the body to the end.

I am…

‘Ah… ‘

What should I answer… ?

I couldn’t give you an answer.

When I tried to say that my lover was right, it didn’t come out properly as if something was blocking it.

Lover.

I can’t easily say that I’m a lover.

I said that the warrior got better, but why?

I still… Don’t you like warriors?

It couldn’t have been.

I wasn’t a fool who didn’t know my heart.

Just being by the hero’s side makes me feel at ease and feel better.

When I mix with him, my heart becomes happy.

It’s always fun when we talk.

When the hero is not by his side, he always thinks about the hero.

I know that feeling this kind of feeling in a person means that you like that person.

Can’t know

– I am…

I have to answer…

Coo kung!

“?!”

The stomach shakes greatly.

The warrior caught me when I was about to fall without being able to keep my balance.

Thanks to that, I was able to not fall.

“Shake… No way… !”

“Ah… !”

No wait.

I can’t do this… !

“Kuh… ! Are you okay? Rumia?”

At the hero’s question, I shook my head with a serious expression on my face.

I was trying to make a barrier as soon as possible because I didn’t know when it would come, but did you mean the attack before it was finished yet?

This is a big deal.

It’s incomplete, but the barrier must be opened right away.

– Succubus Queen… It’s here… ?

“I think it came. I can feel the magic.”

Seeing the warrior talk like that, it seems like he really came.

It was unmistakable to see the commotion from above.

“I don’t think the queen has come yet. For ordinary demons, the articles above will suffice.”

Fortunately, the succubus queen has not yet arrived.

– I haven’t finished it yet…

Still, it didn’t change the fact that the raid came quickly.

Will it really be okay like this… ?

[I think you can open the barrier for now.]

Rumia, who had been silent until now, spoke to me.

You can open the barrier, but there is a problem.

First of all, there is a lack of magical energy, and the lack of magic circles to maintain the barrier, so it cannot be maintained for a long time, as well as it is made incomplete, so you do not know what will happen.

He told me that if the barrier were to be shattered, the recoil would come to me and I would be unable to move for a while.

[Are you still going to open it?]

Rumia had explained it that way.

Should be.

I can’t help it.

If I don’t unfold it at all, my movements until today will be meaningless, and if I don’t decide quickly, the succubus queen will spread her charm throughout the ship and the ship will become an orgy.

I can’t let it be like that.

I telepathically thanked the hero who caught it and pushed it away.

When using such an important magic, if someone touches it, a big problem will happen, so I feel sorry for the hero, but I had no choice but to push it away.

This time, it’s especially dangerous because I’m using the magic I have now to become a kind of magic circle.

[Good. I will help you.]

Rumia helped me with my magic.

In order to connect the surrounding magic circles one by one and spread a barrier all over the ship.

Every time the magic circles were connected one by one, I was worried that this would really work, but I shouldn’t worry because I had to do it now, it was something I had to do unconditionally.

“Ugh… “

Mana drains from the whole body.

I feel my arms trembling and my legs losing strength, but I have to keep this state.

Otherwise, the recoil of trying to forcibly open the barrier will come back to me.

It can’t be like that.

“… “

Completed.

After confirming that the barrier was at least stable, I sighed in relief and sat down.

I don’t even have the strength to move anymore.

Thump

‘Ah.’

The warrior caught me.

“Good job Rumia. I’ll take you to your room.”

“… “

In my heart, I want to fight together, but I myself knew the best about my body.

What would happen if I went to fight like this.

The succubus queen is cunning.

Since she is a succubus, of course she will be cunning, but she is not called the queen for nothing.

If I didn’t have magical powers and went there in a groggy state, there was a possibility that I would be caught and used as a hostage without anyone noticing, or it could take advantage of my weakness and corrupt me through mental attacks.

It should never be as much as showing me like this.

– Huh… Thank you…

My role probably ends here.

But in fact, at the point of not making more enemies and becoming a person who can fight with the people on the ship, it was as if my work was over.

Still… I can’t hold on any longer here.

I escaped from the arms of the warrior who was trying to pick me up.

It was hard, but at this level, I was able to do enough to go back to my room.

– I’ll give you a proper answer when you defeat the succubus queen.

In the meantime, I intend to clear my mind.

Up until now, I had been thinking that if I got pregnant, that was what ended up being true love, but I hadn’t thought about dating or getting married at all.

You may think that is nonsense, but I really was.

I was also dumbfounded by myself.

I feel sorry for the hero at this rate… I wanted to make up my mind quickly and answer properly.

[Make up your mind and answer… While the answer is already decided. Isn’t it enough to just answer here?]

‘Quiet.’

Even if I think about it, the answer is decided, but I think it is necessary to take time to organize your mind.

Yeah… I think receiving someone’s confession is such an important story.

Not to mention, having to conceive is, of course, a partner that you may have to live with for the rest of your life.

I think so.

[Yeah, well, since you say so, I’ll do it… ]

I don’t like that I’m being so cautious.

I’m the original owner of this body that I’m moving right now, and I’ve already done everything I’ve done with this body, and I’m contemplating whether or not I should really share the future with that person until I die, so it won’t look good.

‘Sorry.’

[Sorry, could you give me a break? I’m having a hard time too.]

‘Huh.’

I’m going to rest.

Even without me, the hero, Ruril, and Cecilia would be able to defeat the Succubus Queen very easily.

In particular, unlike other times, Cecilia’s opponents are demons, so even if she uses a miracle, the demons will not come to their senses.

Even if she is a succubus queen, if she is hit by the miracle that the saintess uses herself, it’s not that she can’t come to her senses.

To that extent, the difference in affinity between the saint and the devil was enormous.

Of course, because Hero also uses a holy sword, he exerts tremendous power against demons. In the warrior’s party, Ruril is the only one who can’t exert relatively great power against the devil compared to the two.

Since Ruril was always an elf, he did not have good strength when dealing with demons.

In the case of me, if I was strong enough to use magic that worked equally well for everyone, I was strong, not weak.

Just because they are demons doesn’t mean they won’t be affected by magic.

Of course, there is nothing that makes someone stronger like a hero or a saint, but it doesn’t make you weak, so you can pour a certain amount of firepower.

Well, I’d like to talk about something like this.

When I see myself walking lonely to my room.

‘I’ll hurry up a bit…’ ‘

[You know this was for the best.]

‘But… ‘

[If you did more than that, you would be in danger.]

I let out a sigh at Rumia’s words.

Okay… If I had worked harder than that, it would have put me in danger.

Know.

It was just a pity that I couldn’t come out, and it was just because I was worried.
