The Demons In the Reverse Harem Game Are Obsessed With Me

She tossed it to one side and wrung her skirt to extract the water out. She then tried to rip the hem off, but it wasn’t easy since a thick layer of lace had been sewn into the hem itself.

Julia eventually held out a handful of the hem of her skirt towards Legion.

“Legion, tear some my clothes off.”

“What, what are you even talking about?”

“It’s okay to tear up till the thighs—or even more… if you want to.”

Since his wound was so large, she thought that the cloth might not even be enough. As she was roughly gauging how far she should actually tear it, Legion’s face turned red for no apparent reason. Julia simply tilted her head and looked up at him instead.

“Huh? Quickly now.”

The hand that was covering his eyes straight away trembled as if he hadn’t retained enough blood. Julia stepped closer towards him and tugged upon Legion’s hand. His eyes were tinted with such strange heat.

“Julia, are you actually testing me right now?”

“Aren’t you going to stop the bleeding? Oh, oh no? More blood is seeping out.”

“…”

“Hurry!”

The hesitant Legion ruthlessly ruffled his hair with his other hand that was not being held by her at once. Even though his shiny blonde hair had gotten tousled like a bird’s nest, he simply let out a painful groan in succession before he finally raised his head.

He lifted her up and tore off her negligee right close to her knees. The lace, which didn’t even budge when Julia was tearing it, had ripped off like paper just with a little bit of Legion’s strength.

“If a monster were to appear, I’ll then have to fight it, so let me do some first aid first. Thank you.”

“Yes.”

“But be careful with your words from now on, uhh, no—what am I saying?”

“Um, I’ll listen to what you’d say later, so why don’t you turn around for now? Isn’t it hard to do it all on your own?”

One side had already been tightly wrapped, but the wound on his shoulder seemed rather difficult for him to treat it on his own. The hesitant Legion eventually passed the cloth to her before showing his back without saying a single word at all.

Amidst the silent surroundings, only the soft sound of fabric smearing rang in their ears. Legion’s ears had turned furiously red as if his wound felt very painful. Julia instantly hastened the treatment in response.

‘Next time, I feel like I have to put a little kit of emergency medicine in the item window. I never imagined that this would actually happen…”

Legion was not looking behind when her shoulders appeared to be drooping sadly.

Since it was deep in the mountains, the sun had set even faster than usual. Legion, who was steadily climbing the steep mountain path ahead, suddenly ceased to move. Julia had been trailing behind him silently before she shifted her gaze at him.

“What’s wrong? Is something there?”

“Sorry, I hadn’t been careful. I should have noticed it sooner.”

“What?”

He quickly turned back and touched Julia’s forehead with the back of his hand gently. She let out a soft sigh at the feeling of coolness against her own skin, but the sound of teeth clenching together could suddenly be heard above her head.

“You have a fever.”

“Ah.”

“This wouldn’t have happened if you didn’t fall into the water earlier. If only I had dried off the water…”

“It couldn’t be helped just then. There was a possibility that the fire would ultimately attract the beasts in return.”

Initially, the two of them had planned on going down the mountain almost immediately. In reality, Julia didn’t fall down the Mountain of Death simply because she wanted to and Legion’s injuries were too immense for them to continue moving forward, so that was actually a very natural decision to take.

However, shortly after leaving the falls, they were forced to revise their plans entirely. It was due to the fact that a huge number of large monsters had already lined up on the mountainside.

Even if Legion were to clear the road ahead, the safety of Julia, who would remain behind him, could not be guaranteed at all. Therefore, the two of them eventually decided to find a safe way even if they had to go through the long path.

That was, until they gradually realized that they had been circling the same exact spot.

“There’s no helping it. Let’s take a little rest.”

“It’s okay. I can still walk further.”

“I’m the one who’s having a hard time. It’d be better for us not to move after the sun goes down in a mountain like this unless it’s truly urgent.”

Legion made Julia take a seat on a rock and in just the blink of an eye, he finished preparing for camp. After lighting the fire with his familiar skills, he straight away looked back at Julia with a satisfied face.

“Here, come closer.”

“Yes.”

“I don’t like the color of your face right now. Get some sleep for a moment.”

“I’m just a little bit dizzy.”

Legion did not respond to that. Nevertheless, he must have seen through Julia’s lies as he proceeded to press her small head firmly against his shoulder and made her lean against his body. She then gently rubbed her palms closed up to his icy forearms.

His calluses had been as rough as stone, but his touch against her skin was just like handling a fragile doll, so her expression became blurred without her even knowing it.

‘It’s all because of my own weakness. Why does Legion put up with me like this when I’m just a mere friend of his?’

Just like the moment when he had encountered a group of monsters during the day, if it hadn’t been for her, Legion wouldn’t have chosen the long way back. Even if he couldn’t get rid of them all, he still would have been able to push ahead a path before rushing straight through it. However, because of her, he had been imprisoned on this mountain instead.
