The Demons In the Reverse Harem Game Are Obsessed With Me

Kimaris was standing in front of Julia’s tightly closed door. Normally, it would have already been the time for her to get up, but she didn’t even come out until the afternoon for today. There was a sense that she might have gotten late considering the fact that her schedule from the day before had been a bit too much for her.

Lerazier, who had just returned from examining the fallen tree, sarcastically said that Kimaris was being rather overprotective, but Kimaris simply listened to it all through one ear and let everything out from the other. All his attention was locked on the woman who was currently asleep beyond the door.

He knew that this was not normal even in his own opinion, but when he eventually came to his senses, he had already gone looking for her.

‘Was Lerazier’s statement that wrong though?’

A demon’s life was ultimately too long. That was why they tended to be quite indolent as they let things pass as they went. To have an explosive passion for something was only possible for a newborn demon like Paimon and just after a few hundred years, even that would gradually be dismissed as a mere futility.

Kimaris was no different from them at all. Rather, he was a demon who had been more insensitive than anyone else. He didn’t even blink an eye after having his heart stolen by Revenna as well.

But lately, he had somehow changed. His insensitive personality towards others remained the same, but as far as Julia was concerned, he would become obsessively engrossed even with those like trifles.

He got worried if he couldn’t see her for too long and his nerves became on edge when someone else were to linger all around her. With just a tiny change in Julia’s expression, he kept oscillating between happiness and despair.

He simply realized that he should have no feelings for his own master, but it did not mean that he would be revealing this feeling of his. He knew that just by being trapped in Bael’s clutches would have already been unbearably painful for her.

‘Still, it wouldn’t be good to starve for too long.’

He remembered that Julia had no appetite just the day before. Nevertheless, it was already past lunchtime. At this rate, she would be skipping dinner as well.

Eventually, as he had found a good reason to enter, he softly gave a knock on the door.

“Julia, this is Kimaris.”

“…”

“May I come in?”

Kimaris waited in silence for an answer. It was because he knew that Julia’s body had been weak and that it would gradually take a long time for her to be fully awake. However, even after much time had passed, there was no sign of any presence inside.

Kimaris suppressed his impatience as he took a step closer to the door.

“Julia, are you okay?”

Just as Kimaris raised his voice, the bedroom door that was just next to it burst open. Paimon, whose hair had become a large nest, was glaring at Kimaris fiercely.

“What’s with all the noise in the hallway? You woke me up!”

“The key overslept.”

“Julia is still sleeping? Then, I want to sleep with her too!”

As soon as Lerazier, who was simply watching from nearby, helped with just some words, Paimon instantly jumped out. Then, before anyone could even stop him, he had already opened the door to Julia’s room and rushed to the bed.

“Julia! Paimon had a nightmare!”

“Oh, it’s good that those newborns are always full of energy.”

“Lerazier, you…”

“If you have any complaints, why don’t you tell the key directly? It’s not me who’ll be covering up for that unlucky kid, it’s you.”

Lerazier’s drooping eyes curled enticingly. Kimaris turned away without ever replying, even though he could clearly guess that Lerazier was simply trying to make fun of him. And it was because he saw that Paimon was just about to jump into the bed.

“Heh?”

“…”

But Kimaris, Paimon and even Lerazier, who was just laughing outside the door, froze at once. The inside of the sheet that Paimon had rolled up was empty without a single crease at all.

The Western Land was rather different from the Devil’s Nest. Right amidst the center of the Demon Realm, monsters would not be able to enter within a certain radius due to the powerful demonic energy that was emitted both by the Magic Stone and Bael himself.

The number of demons which were capable of withstanding the murderous wave had been extremely limited and they were all under Agares’s restraint. Therefore, even if Julia were to stroll around alone, there would not be much trouble.

However, there was no such safety mechanism in Paimon’s territory. His demonic energy could only affect the inside of the mansion and if she took only a few steps outside the entrance, countless hoards of monsters without any intelligence would start to wander around straight away.

Kimaris’s head burned black as he wondered if something had happened to her who couldn’t really protect her own body.

“Gone—Julia is not here!”

Paimon’s eyes widened at once as he grabbed the empty bed. He mobilized all his magic power and started searching the inside of the mansion. Lerazier, who entered the bedroom, also began looking around the room with a subdued face.

“There is no sign of any intrusion. Could it be that she escaped?”

“Don’t talk nonsense.”

“The key doesn’t just have magic resistance, right? How long do you expect the secret would last even if you kept your mouth shut all the while?”

Lerazier approached him sarcastically before tapping Kimaris on his stiff shoulder.

“At Master’s nest, the key was the one who intervened and stopped Paimon from attacking you? Did she mix some magic resistance with expansion magic? It was just basic, but that had definitely been a rather complex magic.”

“Why are you bringing that up now?”

“Don’t look at me with such scary eyes. It’s just that I feel quite suspicious. You don’t really know how many other monstrous abilities are hidden behind that docile face, right? You don’t even know the limits of the key’s power exactly, do you?”

“Don’t you meddle. If you insult Julia again, I won’t let you go.”

“By the way, the only ones who know about it are me and my older brother. It’s also that older brother of mine that told me to keep my mouth shut.”

“Then, you must have been the culprit. Someone who fell for your big mouth could have dragged Julia away by force.”

Basically, Barbatos had almost no interaction with the other demons except for Bael, Agares, and Bottis. Even if it hadn’t been for that reason, he wasn’t the type to open his mouth unnecessarily too.
