Episode 13: Breakthrough Ideas?

"It's Lina. I'll tell you in advance, the rest are not going to treat you like a slave. From the rest of you, you're a fine woman."

……

Take my word for it, Lina's eyes shake.

"So from now on, you stop calling the rest your husband or calling yourself a slave. That's how I signed a contract."

"... Yes, sir - Ah"

"Huh. You won't get used to it in the first place"

But I can't say it's still enough to demonize Lina. Lina is cute, so I can think a lot about being targeted (in many ways) by other demons if she's in this castle. To ensure the safety of Lina 100%......

"So what should I call you?

"Hmm? Well, the others call me Lord Euto, and if you like, so..."

So one idea came down on my head. There it is, there's a revolutionary way that the other demons will never be able to reach out! I'm kind of confused today!

"... what is it?

"I'm sorry, Lina, but leave the name on hold."

If that's the case, let's move on to action. First I opened the door and asked the demon who was watching the immediate side of the bedroom to call Henri here.

Then dozens of minutes passed. Waiting in the bedroom thinking it was late, Henri finally showed up. In super sketchy colorful pyjamas for some reason.

"I'm so sorry to keep you waiting, Dear Yout!! It took me longer to prepare than I expected!!"

Ready? Of what?

"Finally, Master Ute asked for my body!! I even dreamed that this Henri, this time would come -"

"Wait, Henri. The rest didn't call you for the reasons you think."

"... to?

Henri's eyes dot.

"I'm sorry you had to come back, even though you just brought me drinks earlier"

"... no problem"

Henri said in an apparently depressed manner.

"By the way, Master Ute, who is that female demon? It's a face I don't see in the castle..."

Henri's gaze shifts towards Lina. I just met him. What is it? Is it true that humans only look like pests to the extent that they can't tell it's Lina just because they've become demons even though they look the same......

But you still can't seem to sniff out "demons who were originally human" and "normal demons" at all, Henri. Or was I the former as well?

"I don't have the right to pinch my mouth against any woman that Master Ute may have, but honestly it's going to be time for me to get jealous..."

That's why I said no.

"Speaking of which, what happened to the human woman earlier? I can't seem to see him."

Now Henri's gaze shifts to the closet that stays open. It no longer seems that among Henri, Lina before and Lina after the contract are completely separate.

Well, how do I answer that? I returned normally, then I'm not like a hegemonic...

"Is that the woman? I swallowed the rest of him because he was used up."

"Is it true!?"

"It didn't taste good to flatter. I thought the rest of us had feelings for that human being.

"And there is no such thing!!"

I think it was a little too much, okay?

"And about this woman demon, but I want to report to everyone in this castle."

"To all, is it?

"Mm-hmm. Very serious report. That's why I want Henri to gather everyone in the hall more than this."

"... Yes, I did. I'll be summoning you soon."

And a few dozen minutes later. The demons in the castle assembled in the great hall, and me and Lina stood on the stage. I kind of feel like I'm going to be a teacher introducing the transfer students.

"Who's the devil standing next to Master Ute?

"Come on, I don't know either..."

"But isn't that so cute?

"Sure. As much as I want to be my girlfriend."

"Don't be ridiculous, I'm first!

I hear voices like this from among the demons. These guys react like boys in high school in front of the transfer students. After all, Lina is in danger as she is. But I've already thought of a way to protect Lina from these guys.

"Gentlemen, I'm sorry to have you gathered late this evening. As you may have already heard, we have a serious report for the rest of us."

The voices of the devils stop, and the great hall quiets back at once.

"A lot of people will be wondering who this female demon next door is. Let's reveal it to everyone now."

After I breathe down, I open my mouth quietly. A groundbreaking way that the other demons will never be able to reach, it is...!!

"The name of this person is Lina. The rest of us broke up alive - my sister."

What do you say, this nice idea while I'm at it!

The demons in the Great Hall for a moment harden like stone statues. And soon a fierce twitch began to occur.

"Yout's sister!?"

"Master Ute had a sister!?"

"I didn't know...!!"

Of course I don't know that. 'Cause I was just thinking about setting it up. Everyone seemed unable to hide their surprise at this shocking report, but it was still Lina herself who was most surprised.

"Oh, you know, what the hell am I...!?"

"You have nothing to worry about. You just have to leave everything to me."

I whisper to Lina. [M]

"As a matter of fact, the rest of us went out today with the aim of finding the rest of our sister. And I was finally able to find it after the ordeal. I'm shaking with joy for the rest of my life."

Once again, the demons calm down and turn their attention to me. If you keep Lina as my sister, there will be no one left to lay hands on Lina. I'm a little tempted to deceive everyone, but I thought this was the best way to protect Lina. It would have been nice if it had been a contract spell to make my sister, but unfortunately I don't have that kind of spell. If this all fits in a circle...

"Dear Yout. May I have just one?

Then Henri, who was at the head of the demons, said.

"What's up, Henri?

"I beg your pardon, but is there anything you can prove to be Yout's sister?

"... Proof?

"Yes, if you are Yout's sister, we are willing to do the same. But I was afraid that if there was nothing to prove it, some of them would come out suspicious."

…………

Sweat runs down my forehead. Because I never thought you'd say that. I can't help proving that Lina's my sister is a bright red lie. [M] What do I do, what do I answer...!?
