“Hey, I’m still here….”

Nana stayed here for a while because she was happy at the thought of adding another member to her family.

Julia, who realized this fact too late like me, blushed and fell away from me with a sad look on her face.

“… We’ll do this later. Don’t use polite language with me. “I can’t get used to it.”

“If you say so, then I will do it. “Actually, I thought I was going to die because I was so awkward.”

Nana refused at first, probably because it felt awkward to keep using polite language towards me, but she readily agreed the second time, to the point where she felt discouraged.

“Then I have somewhere to go for a while, so Yulia is resting for a while. “You are following.”

“Yes…. See you later….”

I came out of the room with Nana just as I had entered, and stopped only when I got to the remote part of her mansion, far away from Julia’s room.

“Hey, tell me honestly. What is that old man thinking? “What were you thinking when you made your daughter my maid and sent her to me?”

If I were the king, I would have made Julia marry me by disguising her illegitimate child or something, and then tried to recruit her as a member of the royal family.

The king was the first to notice this and he could do anything to manipulate it, so the princes had no choice.

But I honestly didn’t understand why they dropped the title of royal family and sent only Julia.

“At first, Your Majesty also wanted to do that. However, she said that she would rather commit suicide than become the shackles that bind Yulia, so she ended up like this as a compromise.”

“…… “You tried to commit suicide?”

“Yes, it would have definitely happened if I hadn’t stopped him midway. “Julia’s will is so strong that she decided to buy some favor through a compromise, and this is what happened.”

I roughly understood the situation. However, even if it is for the sake of the country, they do not hesitate to sell their children. Does being a member of the royal family have a different brain structure than an ordinary person?

Although she was not a royal, it was a sharp contrast to the way Jessica Papa, who was a high-ranking noblewoman, treated her daughter with so much care.

“And you also got this as a bonus from Julia…? . “You’ve had a hard time, too.”

“What is it compared to Yulia, who lost her royal status…? Anyway, I look forward to working with Yulia in the future. “It is a weak sword compared to yours, but please use it well.”

“… “Okay, then I’ll go first.”

“Hmm? “Where are we going?”

“There is someone who is very angry about this and needs to be released.”

“Ah….”

Nana didn’t say anything more and just patted my shoulder as if telling me to cheer up.

When I went upstairs to the bedroom, the door was tightly closed, just like the boss room where the final boss was sleeping.

She opened the tightly closed door and went inside, and sure enough, the back of Jessica, with her face pressed into the pillow as if she didn’t want to see me, caught my eye.

“Jessica.”

As she called her name and sat down next to the bed, Jessica turned her body and avoided my gaze.

I thought that if she continued like this, she would continue to turn her back on me, so I gently put my hand on Jessica’s buttocks, and Jessica shook off her hand and looked at me.

“…… Why.”

“Now you’re finally paying attention to this place.”

Jessica jumped up at her words and shouted at me with an angry expression on her face.

“Are you here to make fun of me?!”

Yes, it is better to be angry than to ignore. The fact that you’re angry means that at least you’re being considerate of me.

“I didn’t come to play around, I came to keep my promise.”

“Promise?”

I took advantage of Jessica’s confusion at the unexpected word “Promise” And dug into her.

When I suddenly pressed my body against her, Jessica was embarrassed and took a step back, and I dug deeper into Jessica and kissed her lips.

“Hmm… !!”

Perhaps because she was embarrassed, Jessica accepted my kiss obediently at first, but as time passed and she regained her composure, she tried to push me away.

Her body was shaking wildly, she was struggling, and she was trying to get away from me by clenching her fists and hitting me, but I didn’t give in to that and kissed her persistently, and soon Jessica came to accept this too.

“Ha….”

After kissing her for a while, Jessica finally released her mouth as she had hoped, and Jessica, who was flushed to the max, blushed and glared at me.

“What are you doing now!! “You didn’t think I would just get away with something like this?!”

“No, I told you so. He said he came to keep his promise. “I told you that if I do something to a woman other than you, I will do the same to Jessica, right?”

Jessica, who knew full well what she meant by those words, became even more angry and raised her hand to slap my cheek, but she said that she had a change of heart and raised her hand high. I went down again in vain.

“… “Am I not enough?”

“… ….”

I could not easily respond to her crying voice and just hugged her.

If you just reflexively say no without thinking at all, you won’t gain her trust.

First, she hugged Jessica and reassured her, and then calmly asked her.

“Why do you think that?”

“That’s right, the number of women keeps increasing!! This time, she was that woman… No, she came after kissing Yulia….”

“It’s not like that. And this time, it wasn’t because I wanted to, but more than anything, I couldn’t just leave Yulia alone.”

Jessica also knew about Julia’s situation, so she could neither deny nor confirm it, so she just buried her face in my arms.

“… “It’s not because you’re really sick of me, is it?”

“I said no. “To begin with, I was still asleep so I didn’t know things would turn out like this.”

“… ….”

I was so preoccupied with the thought that I had a new woman that I didn’t even think about that part.

As Jessica, feeling embarrassed, burrowed deeper into my arms, I hugged her affectionately.

“Are you here?”

“Yes, the makeshift shrine you see over there is where the devil’s body is sealed.”

After settling the situation at the mansion, I returned to the forest with Hori and Marina.

At the place where the devil’s body was, there was a tofu-like building made of pure white bricks, and the door of the building was guarded by a paladin in white armor.

‘It seems like it was built in a hurry so there was no time to worry about its appearance.’

They say it doesn’t matter what it looks like as long as it can function as a temple, but it wasn’t built by a child and I thought it was too simple.

“Ian and Hori said they were going to make an elixir with the devil’s heart, right?”

“Yes. “Is that a problem?”

“It will vary depending on what kind of elixir you make. I don’t have any intention of stopping you, but please be careful. “The medicine made from that material is definitely not the right product.”

As they said, the temple must have been built to suppress the demonic energy as much as possible, but the demonic energy was leaking out from the cracks in the building.

It was not a problem with the building. This was because Hornhuld’s power was so powerful that even though the temple was built, all of its power could not be suppressed.

“If you are going to make an elixir or anything else, it would be better to make it as quickly as possible. “It’s not like there are cases of dead demons being resurrected.”

In addition, this land is still slowly dying due to the magic energy that is slowly leaking out.

I couldn’t even imagine what would happen if someone destroyed that temple and the devil’s body was completely released.

“… “Then shall we go?”

“Yes!!”

If I were alone, it wouldn’t have been necessary to stop me, but now that Hori was next to me, I pushed Nanga forward and moved forward.

It goes without saying, but compared to when he was alive, the magic energy that leaked out was so weak that even comparing it was embarrassing, so I wondered if there was any need to stop it.

“… Welcome.”

When I arrived at the door, the Holy Knights who made eye contact with me bowed their heads and walked away.

Inside the temple, Hornhuld’s body was left nailed to the ground on a circular altar, and the candles hanging on the wall made it look like the scene of a suspicious ritual.

“… “You said what you need is a heart, right?”

“Yes! And if possible, I’d like to be able to get blood as well.”

“Yes.”

I placed the sealed chest prepared to move the heart next to me and took a position, measuring the location of the man’s heart with my hand.

From noble mtl dot com

‘Even the devil would have his heart in his chest.’

There was no specific description in the story that the heart was in a different location, so I believed it and fired toward the exact center of the chest, revealing its blue-black heart.

“Ugh!!”

The moment the heart was pulled out, the eerie demonic energy was gushing out, and the sound came out without me realizing it.

I threw my heart into the sealed chest like I was throwing away a tissue after blowing my nose, and quickly closed the sealed chest before I could emit demonic energy again.

“Ha…. And did you ask me to draw blood again?”

“Yes! “Here’s the syringe!!”

After that, after drawing several bottles of his blood, I put the bottles containing the blood into the sealed chest and stood up, carrying the sealed chest.

“Hori, how long do you think it will take to make that elixir?”

“It’s a medicine that’s simple to make, but takes some time. And as the material is a material, there are many things I want to test, so I have to wait until at least winter….”

“It’s winter….”

No, since it is winter at least, it might not be possible to see it until later than this year.

But since time was all that was left anyway, there was nothing I couldn’t wait for that long.

“I’ll wait that long, so do whatever you want.”

“Yay!!”
