Chapter 66
“What do you mean?”
“Exactly what I said. This is my dream. A place you can’t leave unless I end it. If I put my mind to it, I can trap Master in this dream forever.”
“What kind of…….”
Heesu, who had never heard such a thing from Violen, blinked blankly and asked again, as if in disbelief.
“So…… that’s possible?!”
“Well…… not every incubus can do it, but I have that much magical power.”
“How much power do you need to do that?! Are you actually really strong or something?”
“Honestly, yeah, kinda.”
The incubus puffed out his chest proudly and smiled contentedly. Heesu, looking at his face with disgust, suddenly remembered Izzen’s words.
‘It would be the same no matter who it was, not just him. Incubi have to protect themselves. If it gets out how much magical power they have or what distance they can exert influence from, their lives could be in danger, so they all thoroughly hide it.’
In other words, Violen probably didn’t know the incubus’s exact magical power either. Moreover, since he was an incubus known as a crazy bastard and a nutcase in the demon world, no one would have guessed. Everyone just thought he was a crazy bastard and a nutcase.
That’s why neither Izzen nor Violen had worried or advised her about this situation. In reality, he was an incubus with such strong magical power that he could even kill his opponent if he risked his own life.
Thinking that far, a chilling possibility crossed her mind. Heesu felt a shiver run down her spine and asked him,
“Th-then, if I…… killed you in the dream, what would have happened?”
“Well… My dream moves according to my will, so normally that wouldn’t happen……. But given what happened today, and assuming Master can freely intervene in my dream……. ”
The incubus rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, then suddenly smiled brightly and said,
“Both of us would die!”
“Gah!”
Heesu stumbled backward and clutched her chest. Her heart, belatedly realizing the life-threatening danger she had unknowingly passed, pounded madly in surprise.
She had almost lost her life for the trivial matter of punishing this perverted incubus. She did want to punish him, she did want to get immense revenge… but she didn’t want to do it to the point of risking her life. What kind of magical girl would she be, if the ending was dying from thoroughly whipping a perverted incubus? Wasn’t that a bit too much?
“So now…… you’re not going to end the dream?”
Heesu, who had finally calmed down after taking a deep breath, asked, sweating coldly. Although she had overcome one life-threatening crisis, the current situation was also no ordinary serious matter.
“Yes! Let’s just live together in my dream forever!”
To her serious question, the incubus replied with a truly innocent smile. His expression was so innocent it was chilling.
“Ugh……!”
Heesu almost backed away without realizing it, but she barely held back and tried her best to think to the very last moment.
“B-but…… you’re an incubus, so maybe you’ll be fine, but I’m a human in reality, aren’t I? If I don’t wake up from the dream, the real me will starve to death……. Then what happens? In that case, don’t both of us die? Is that still okay?”
“Yes, that’s right! I’m fine with that!”
The incubus said that with a wide smile, without hesitation. His eyes, unnecessarily sparkling despite threatening her with both their lives, were even more chilling.
Heesu finally retreated. She shook her head in amazement. She admired how accurate the rumors of the demon world truly were, and lamented the fact that a perfectly crazy bastard was right in front of her.
She had made a mistake. You shouldn’t mess with a crazy person. If she had been bitten by him, she should have just considered it a dog bite and let it go. She shouldn’t have been blinded by revenge.
‘Revenge…… truly only begets revenge…….’
Heesu, pressing a hand to her forehead, once again keenly felt that truth. In fact, the situation seemed a bit different, but from Heesu’s perspective, it was no different at all.
Heesu, who had been pondering for a long time, finally sighed and lifted her head. There was no other way.
“Alright.”
“Yay!”
The incubus, who had raised his arms and cheered at her reluctant acceptance, rushed forward again to embrace Heesu’s legs. But Heesu quickly stepped back, avoiding him. Thanks to that, the incubus stumbled forward, flailing his arms, and fell. Heesu looked down at him and said coldly,
“Satisfied? Now wake me up.”
“Tch……. Yes.”
The incubus, pouting his cheeks and grumbling, soon nodded.
And the world changed. The world, including the incubus, turned into dust and scattered, then began to flutter like flower petals, surrounding them.
“Wow…….”
Heesu unconsciously watched the scene, mesmerized.
It was a beautiful sight. Even if a pervert was involved.
