The Demons In the Reverse Harem Game Are Obsessed With Me

This trip was made with only a small number of people. There were only four of them: Paimon; the Master of the West, Julia; the guest, Kimaris; her escort and Lerazier, who simply interrupted in order to have fun together with them.

Agares, who had hoped strongly in participating right from the very beginning, ended up not appearing there due to an overloaded amount of work. She felt absolutely dejected.

Bael, of course, was also absent. As per usual, he disappeared all of a sudden somewhere and did not even turn up until the day of the trip. In fact, it was quite a natural reaction since no one even expected him to join anyway.

Paimon jumped off the sofa abruptly and clung to Julia’s skirt right away.

“Julia, are you also upset that the tree had suddenly disappeared? Do you regret coming to Paimon’s nest, then?”

“Uung, no.”

Julia quickly shook her head. In fact, she felt glad that the tree was gone. On the way to the West, she had heard how terrifying the Tree of Death was, so she became rather worried that something might have even happened to the Legion himself.

Just for a moment, Paimon, who had been looking up at her in silence, began to smile widely.

“Do you like the view right outside the window?”

This time, Paimon took her hand and waved it around. Perhaps since it had been a familiar place for him, his expression became much brighter and even more childish than when he was back in the Demon King’s Castle.

Julia moved her steps as the boy led her. The mansion which he lived alone had been so vast and splendid that there was no end in where to put her eyes on. Numerous doors and windows were opened, otherwise closed, with just a single of Paimon’s gesture. After he had excitedly explained for a while, he tilted his head when a fork in the road suddenly appeared.

“There are hot springs inside and even outside! Where would you like to go first, Julia?”

“Well, I am fine where… at-choo!”

“Julia, are you cold?”

Julia tried to shake her head. But even before that, Paimon had already closed the surrounding windows all at once. Then, he coldly glared at Kimaris, who had been following after Julia from a few steps behind.

“What are you doing—just standing there? Are you here only to play? Julia is feeling cold right now!”

“Paimon, what did I say about when you shout at others?”

“…… Julia said that she would be sad.”

After she realized that it would be utterly useless to associate the concept of good and evil to a demon, who was lacking in the ability to empathize, Julia began to explain Paimon’s behavior in relation to her own feelings. Therefore, when Paimon had acted like this, Julia would immediately respond that she was either sad or upset.

Fortunately, Paimon had adapted well to this kind of method. She squatted on the floor and eventually made eye contact with the boy.

“Then, what should we do now?”

“Paimon hates it when Julia is sad. So, Paimon will get rid of everything that makes Julia sad.”

“Hmm?”

“In other words, Paimon should apologize to Kimaris…”

As Julia narrowed her brows, Paimon, who was looking around, quickly replied with the correct answer.

Meanwhile, Kimaris took off his robe and carefully wrapped it around Julia’s shoulder. Their height difference had been so great that it was like putting a sack over herself, but Kimaris still continued to carefully tie it at her waist before he eventually bowed his head.

“The Master’s inconvenience is, in fact, the servant’s fault. I’m sorry about that, Julia.”

“Then, is Paimon okay now?”

“No, you still have to apologize properly.”

“……I’m sorry.”

Paimon, who was delighted only for a moment, instantly gave an unexpectedly neat apology as Julia had resolutely affirmed. Then, he looked up at her. Only after letting out a small sigh did Julia finally hug Paimon and winked at Kimaris.

‘I’m so sorry, Mister Kimaris.’

Julia murmured softly with his mouth when the boy did not notice it. Kimaris, who caught sight of that, immediately responded by simply lowering his gaze in silence.

Julia eventually placed Paimon, who had been asleep ever since the early evening, on the bed before she soon returned to her own room. The guest room that had been given to her was right next to Paimon’s own bedroom. In other words, it overlooked the Western Land that was already dyed red by the sunset.

To end the day, she took off her outerwear and leaned back on the soft sofa. As she relaxed, her limbs eventually stretched out loosely.

“Whoo, I’m tired.”

The sun felt so warm that it seemed like her eyes were gradually getting closed. Nevertheless, there was a reason why she had come back to her room rather early.

Actually, after she had completed the quest in the tower, she couldn’t really afford to check the system properly due to a series of unforeseen incidents. She hadn’t been able to figure out the exact function of the command system, so she only used it as if she was just licking the skin of a watermelon* (T/N: Korean proverb, which means ‘to do something in a superficial manner without fully knowing or understanding it’) before. In fact, she still hadn’t even used the skill points that she received as her reward from the earlier episode.
