The Demons In the Reverse Harem Game Are Obsessed With Me

“Oh, really!”

In the end, the boy had raised his white flag first. He took the girl into his arms without a moment’s surprise and walked right over before dropping her onto the worn-out bed.

The girl blinked her eyes blankly. Pure white and very gentle like snow, she was just like a newborn lamb. It seemed even more so since her cheeks were all flushed red like an unripe fruit.

However, an unexpected stream of firm words came out of her mouth as she took a slow breath.

“Don’t worry. I won’t say anything about you. I’m the one who stole the jewels tonight anyway, so just erase this from your memory.”

“What—are you actually pitying me right now? Do I look that pitiful!”

Unknowingly, an accusation had leaked out from the surprised boy’s mouth. The girl made a painful face for a moment, but she soon smiled faintly. As he saw it all, his chest strangely felt rather tight. His nerves were on the edge as he thought that his head would’ve definitely gone crazy if he were to stay there any longer.

He wondered where would that kind of atmosphere come from in the form of a skinny girl with big eyes and just as if he was immersed in lukewarm water, it felt both comfortable and nostalgic. She seemed to be whispering the fact that he could just put down the tension and relax.

‘Nonsense.’

Common sense made it impossible to feel that way just from someone whom he had just seen for the first time, but there was only one ending that would await for a street child with no adults left to protect him than to let go of his tension and vigilance.

It was right then that the boy, who suddenly regained his senses once again, clicked his tongue and turned around. His wrists were held with a little bit of force.

“At times like this, just say thank you for helping.”

The girl muttered calmly as if she had already cooled off for a moment before she finally withdrew her hand away.

“And it wasn’t anything like sympathy at all. I’m really sorry if I offended you. Then, goodbye.”

Perhaps her words were already concluded, the girl helplessly turned her body and stared out of the window. At the end of that field of vision was a large and beautiful banquet hall. Occasionally, an upbeat flow of music and laughter surged out, which made this place—the only one that was quiet—feel even much colder.

In the boy’s mind, an image of the Princess who was laughing joyfully among the numerous distinguished guests and these small, slender shoulders of hers that continued crouching alone in a decrepit, abandoned Palace flashed through alternately.

‘Shit.’

No matter how much he resisted, it was a battle that had been decided from the very beginning. The boy, who eventually tousled his hair in anguish, then began to take a seat down at the foot of the bed.

“Well, this must be fate then. My name is Legion. What about you?”

“……Julia.”

The girl hesitated for a moment before she finally opened her mouth. Then, Legion proceeded to carefully hold her outstretched hand.

A bright light slowly leaked through her closed eyes. As she felt like her consciousness was floating pleasantly above the surface of the water, Julia softly began to lift her eyelids.

Bael’s bedroom—a familiar sight instantly entered her eye.

It was a kind of silence that hadn’t been gained for a long time ever since arriving at the Demon Realm. The huge room with no other presence looked like it was deeply asleep.

“Ugh…”

However, the time to slowly enjoy the quiet atmosphere was not for long. It was because the moment when Julia simply tossed and turned slightly, a terrible pain immediately surged through her body, which caused her muscles to scream out. She gasped in astonishment as she drew in a breath.

Every time she moved, her joints grated violently and her body proceeded to sink under the bed. Both the swelling and bitter pain that was felt in an embarrassing place had been an added bonus too. As she suffered from the pain that surged through her body, she then sipped the water that had been placed by the bedside while barely leaning against the head of the bed.

Even in her own field of vision, her naked body was already a mess. Her limbs were all bruised like those of a battered person whereas her breasts were full of reddish scars and teeth marks as if something had taken bites out of them.

She wanted to check the situation underneath by pulling up the sheet that was all bundled around her belly, but she just couldn’t do it. It would actually be a lot worse than what was revealed on the outside and she knew full well that it would not be less at all.

The memory of the love affair with Bael on that very bed was just that strong. It had been so clearly imprinted in her brain that she was not able to shake it all off. Her shoulders suddenly stiffened as she traced back to her dotted memories with all the brutal sense of pleasures.

“Out there, Legion…”

The sun had already risen right in the middle of the sky. Since the battle had already taken place late at night, it would have already been half a day if they were still fighting.

‘How can a Sword Master even survive this long against those four high-ranking demons?’

A terrible thought that it might be too late immediately reared in her head. As she trembled while stepping out of the bed, Julia straight away tumbled helplessly onto the floor.

“Huhk!”

When she fell, she must have accidentally touched something as a series of system windows popped up in front of her eyes.

[▷SYSTEM

Unable to check progress.]

[▷SYSTEM

2nd Episode. ‘Trajectory of the Past’ is in progress.]

Julia caught a hold of her wobbly arm and raised her body while blinking her eyes blankly.

“What’s the use of all this then?”

In a sense of embarrassment, Julia turned off the window without even reading the whole content. Instead, she then activated the SIGHT function and a window immediately popped up.

[▷SYSTEM

Remaining HP is less than 10%. Turning off all skills except those which are vital to life.]

The edge of her field of vision flashed red for a few seconds before it eventually returned to normal. Nevertheless, she ignored it and lifted her body. She wrapped her body in a long robe that had been hanging nearby and tried to tear off the part that was dragging on the ground, but she ended up grabbing it tightly in her hand instead.

“I have to go outside. To those ruins…”

When she opened the door, only a cold drop of silence hovered in the wide hallway. She didn’t know where everyone had gone, but she thought that it was for the better. She had to leave the castle in search of Bero again. Then, she had to save the Legion.
