Your face is slightly warm. The little bird chirps can be heard from far away. Right, has the sun risen yet?

Five days after the failure of the interracial summons, my body aged once and for all and was no longer blind. I can't even move my body properly anymore and haven't eaten anything since yesterday.

Is this what you call lonely death? Already tomorrow, this body will starve to death. Even the futon on my body can't help but be heavy and bitter now.

At least I should have made one of my apprentices or assistants, even more so now. If I could make it, I'd talk about it.

Yeah, I still think about it. I wish that otherworldly man would stay here.

Teach him all my knowledge, my experience, and with the same will, spend the rest of my life in the meantime. I feel sorry for myself for having dreamed of such a peaceful life at all.

Yes, the interracial summons has failed. There's nothing more I can do. If you dream of such a hypothetical dream, you better not think about it anymore, because now it seems more miserable.

Is that it, my life?

I even studied it for people, and I finally grabbed it for something, and it ends up for nothing.

What did you live for, me? Wasn't it just a secluded cabin, doing research?

It's also hard to say that I've lived my life if I think about it. I've been doing research ever since I quit magic school on the way.

I don't hang out with my family. There is no tea party with friends. I've never dated a neighbor or anything.

I've never had a boyfriend, such as my husband. On the contrary, not even a single person in love.

I've never held hands with a thinker. I don't even know pieces of joy as a woman. Naturally there were no children either.

I never even spent time with my family. I never even watched the child I grew up with.

Can you tell me I was alive?

Saving someone else is a big goal, and I'm not alive after all.

Which thirst with hunger tightens the digestive organs and the whole body.

Whatever you think, this life was over.

If I hadn't even summoned that otherworldly summons, I might have lived a month later. In the meantime, I should have made a friendly man, a woman of my own accord, etc.

Well, I can't possibly do that if I got away from people a long time ago and said I was a witch and hated them.

More dark magic, if they don't hate it.

I might have enjoyed studying it with a good fellow.

But because they hate me, I researched it.

What, after all, isn't my life empty?

Shall we leave this worthless life alone already and hope for the next life?

You just have to die. Such a baba.

"............... I want to live..."

"Oh, you're still alive."

.........................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Is this a dream?

I don't know about people visiting huts like this, guys like that, too.

It was the voice of a man who came in with the door knocked open. I'm blind, so I don't know what that looks like.

"No, he's alive? That's really critical...... you guys......, dude, okay. Hey, are you still deaf?

"... yeah... who are you?

Reply with a squeezing voice.

"I came here because someone told me, Mr. Sheena, was it? How do you feel about closing your life without accomplishing anything?

"You're mean...... you. You want to abuse a dying human being?

"No, I don't mean that. Anyway, I want to know your will. Do you have anything to remember in your life?

Untrained in life? It's up to you. It's more like an untrained life.

"Let's make the question easier. Do you want to die like this? Or do you want to stick around and live?

"What do you mean...? Then it's like..."

"You're saying I have a way to keep you alive? Of course. That's why I'm here.

But the man goes on.

"There are a few conditions to keep you alive for a long time.

"... Conditions?

"That's right. Exactly. It doesn't heal for free. First of all, one of the conditions. Let's hear it for once to be sure.

"Are you a virgin?

Hey, what's that question...

"... that, like me, isn't the line to make grandma..., sadly, you're right though.

"Then it's the second one. If you help, you will abandon all human dignity and subordinate yourself to me.

"Subordinate?"

"If I put it more succinctly, you will be my slave. Living as a person is unacceptable. Of course, there is a chance that your untrained life will be difficult.

Slaves, huh? And a virgin? Question. Somehow I can guess.

"... you're going to make me a sex slave too? There's nothing fun about holding a grandmother like me, is there?

"No, if you help, you'll be young. And you'll get semi-permanent youth.

"Does that mean that... you keep being held semi-permanently?

"I don't care how you interpret it.

I see. I mean, die now and go to hell, or live hell.

"Why are you helping me?... you just want to be a sex slave? I don't think she's that beautiful..."

"No, she's pretty enough... well, that's good. I want to thank you.

"Thank you?"

"What, with your dark magic, some people have been helped.

The man took a breath and said in a serious voice.

"There won't be much time. Make up your mind. What do you choose?

Die now, or live deprived of a woman's dignity while she lives...

To be honest, there are some scary parts. More importantly, I don't see why I'm honestly listening to this man. I can't thank you enough.

I don't even know what the man looks like in front of me. Even if I'm a benefactor of my life, I honestly don't want to be offended in an obese middle-aged man with a floating sweat.

But…………

"... keep me alive. What did you do to me?

"Kuck...... you fail so far and obsess raw even though you know your untrained won't come true.... good mindset.

The man laughs joyfully.

"Of course I do.... If you die, everything will be over, but as long as you live, you'll have a chance. What did you do? Let's spread dark magic in this world.... even if I sell my soul to a demon, like you.

"... isn't it awful to be a demon?

"It's not human business to let such a worn out person live.

"I'm closer to angels than demons or gods..."

The man began to move after crushing to a sigh mix.

"Well, let's get this over with. Be my neighbor (...), Sheena.

The man's exhale approached and slightly felt his temperature.

I've never seen him, and it's been a few minutes since I met him, but somehow I felt safe with that feeling.
