Chapter 247: Purposeful Stalking (3)

I didn’t understand.

I couldn’t understand.

What was this feeling?

To be with July-sama-- to stay under his wing-- to continue to serve him. I thought that was bliss. Yet, the moment he professed to me his wishes.. things felt wrong.

Yes, I could continue to provide him with what I had always-- I just couldn’t take the next step. I couldn’t accept?

I didn’t know..

I didn’t understand.

Why was it so confusing?

Was this reality?

Was this the world outside? The world I had wished to grasp?

It’s filled with uncertainty. 

What other path could I take? I didn’t know what my future looked like.. it was bleak. To continue to work as a maid for the Bougainvillea household.. there was something wrong here.

Shards came together, forming a piece; Pieces came together, forming an image.

I too was poisoned last night. 

I was saved last night.

Vincent-sama knew of my identity as a demon lord.

I was one of the Margrave’s pawns.

I was disposable.

My existence as a demon lord was a threat to humanity.

…

I see.. since I had failed this mission.. there was no turning back.

My life was over. No longer could I become a maid once again, no longer did I have my freedom-- what awaited me was death. Death that was momentarily suspended-- but will come eventually.

How many days are left till we return?

Tomorrow?

My chest gripped, heart yearned.

There was still one more.. one more thing I was yet to be certain of..

It could be my last chance, my only chance.

Feeling my breath shiver, I stood in front of their guest room.

I closed my eyes and placed my hands on the door handle.

It wasn’t locked.

I pushed and entered.

Empty. Dim.

No. It wasn’t.

That unusual door was there. I remembered that beyond that was another space. By logic, it shouldn’t have been possible. The room adjacent to this was occupied by another noble family. There couldn’t possibly be space for such a luxurious extension.

One foot in front of the next, I inched closer to the door.

Click.

My body stiffened, froze.

And the door opened.

“What are you doing here?”

Hot damn god damn. I didn’t want to get involved with her and here she is, right outside the door. 

I don’t know what she wants, I don’t know what she’s thinking. Whatever, I’ll just ask her about it. Maybe there’s some hidden plotline we need to solve to progress.

I remember Bleu said something about letting things flow and the story progress..

Just that.. I didn’t know what Liliath would think if I spent time with another female demon lord. She doesn’t even know her yet.

“What are you doing here?” I asked.

She looked at me with bewildered eyes..

Hold up.

What the hell is this..

She’s wearing a maid costume.. 

Now she looks exactly like that touh*u character. Oh crap. To all the touh*u fans out there.. I’ve seen something I shouldn’t have..

A killer maid.

Calm down Noel. Maybe she’s not here for that..

She’s not talking.

“Um.. hello? You’re alive right?”

“N-Noel-niisan..”

Huh. Didn’t I tell her that this was but a big misunderstanding yesterday? 

“I’m not your step-brother alright. If you had [Appraisal], you’ll find out that I don’t have a house name. I’m just some normal guy that came from some random place,” I’m not lying. 

“C-can I confirm something..” she bit her lips, the red dot in her pupils flickered, pulling me in-- control yourself Noel.

“What is it?”

“Demon.. lord.”

“What about them?”

“You.. you are a demon lord too.. right?”

“I think you got the wrong person..”

“You’re lying.. definitely..” 

Well. Fuck. 

I’m sure I didn’t do anything suspicious to make her think I’m a demon lord-- wait. Maybe I can just use the excuse that I’m an irregular from another world that doesn’t discriminate between races.

“Look. I treated you yesterday because I don’t care about race. I just came to live and enjoy life here. You want to know who I am? I’m an irregular.”

“You’re still lying,” this time she said with more conviction. What the hell is this girl thinking?

“I’m not lying. You know, I’ll prove it to you,” I stepped out, she took a few steps back. And I made the door behind me disappear. “See?”

“Do you despise me?” she grimaced.

Uh.. what? Despise? Yes? No? I’m not getting her. What exactly does she want here?

She lowered her head, both hands, gripping the hem of her skirt.

‘Help. The demon lord,’ or should I send: ‘In cases like this, what should I do? Do I just ignore the demon lord or..’

Before any of my messages went through, I felt her small hands grab my own.

“Please..” she pleaded.

Please what?! I’m not getting the context of the situation here..

Damn it.. why does my heart have to beat so fast? This isn’t Liliath, this isn’t Liliath--

“L-Let’s talk this out. What exactly are you here for?”

“Tell me. You’re a demon lord-- aren’t you,” her silver eyes peered into mine, tears streamed down her face, her grey hair bounced, that faint flicker of red, bright as a ruby tearing my reason to shreds.

“Y-Yes..” I croaked. Why in the fuck did I say that?

“Yes.. you’re not lying right.. you.. you are a demon lord..”

I tried to push her away but she held onto my hand tight. I was considering whether or not to [Absolute End] her here. 

“What do you want?”

Her brows furrowed for a moment, she looked down.

“Show me your horns,” she said in a whisper.

Her voice was like a siren call. Somehow.. just somehow. I couldn’t stop myself from following her command.

“Ah.. no way..” a smile formed on her lip, her eyes regained life-- I actually felt this weird disgust seeing how she was looking at me like some sort of salvation-- it’s heck creepy!!

‘Help.’

‘Help.’

‘Help.’

‘Just put her to sleep,’ Nine replied.

I used the normal sleep spell on her instead of [Absolute End]. She staggered, body went limp. I laid her on the nearby bed, the one that is supposed to be for Liliath. Not that we really use it.

I don’t know what to do.

In this situation, what does one do? Why did I obey her command.. what the hell..

“Don’t leave..”
“What do you want..” my voice was strained.

“Mine.. be mine…” her voice faded with her consciousness.

“Hell no,” I cursed under my breath.

I held my head to try to cool off. My horns aren’t receding. Looks like I still have some issues recalling them. Yeah, my previous hypothesis was correct.

But there’s another problem.

This demon lord, Rinalanashina? She’s currently sleeping with her four short cute horns on display. Did I just say cute? I mean.. normal horns. Yep, Liliath’s horns are way bigger… I don’t know if that’s supposed to be a compliment.

What do I do about her.. 

Sigh..
