Does your foot get chopped by the ax you trusted in? (10) â unedited
Naturally, Raynon, who couldnât hear my heart, finished his explanation. I had several things I wanted to ask, but I calmly listened to Raynonâs story.
âIf you become the Demon Kingâs companion, any living creature that does not have magical powers by birth will be able to use magic. The companion who bears the token of engraving will share the Demon Kingâs magical power.â
âThat meansâŠâŠ.â
âThe Demon Kingâs magical power will soon become his companionâs magical power. But since no one has told you about it, and youâve never used it, itâs only natural that you canât use it no matter how much magic you have. Thatâs why the Demon King opened it himself. By infusing a piece of his soul into his companionâs blood, he engraved the memory on your body.â
âA piece of his soul? Then isnât Merson going to die?!â
âA piece is literally just a piece, there is no great damage to the Demon King. To put it more simply, it can be seen as forcibly pushing the memory of how to use it. By the wayâŠâŠ.â
Raynon lowered his head and began to stare at my miserable neck, full of bruises. Itâs embarrassing, so could you please move awayâŠâŠ.
âHe put in too much. As if he was madly branding you as his. Hey human. Take good care of yourself.â
âWhy?â
âBecause you will have the Demon Kingâs child.â
But, a child, Iâm still young! Iâm not prepared! Not even for myself!!
âSir Raynon, you are being too much to the Demon Queen. Please do not forgive the rudeness and slit his throat. Go ahead.â
That demon is still a bit scary. The memory of the last time he mercilessly strangled me is still vivid, so each word comes to me as fear. Besides, I thought that he really meant it 100% in those words. I just smiled awkwardly.
Listening to Pierreâs words, Raynon began to pout again, and the argument broke out again. You might think itâs fun because itâs like watching a skit, but⊠Those are people who harbored bad feelings toward me, it was like thin ice.
I hope that Merson will wake up soon and lighten the atmosphere a bit. And I want him to smile prettily as always and call me by my nameâŠâŠ.
âWhen will he wake up?â
âDonât worry. He will open his eyes soon.â
âReally?!â
As for Raynon, although he was furious, he faithfully answered my words. He loosened the necktie, which had been tightly tied down to just below his neck, and opened two buttons, probably from the fuming anger.
âIt was just that his body was in shock from an excessive amount of divine power. The Demon King will wake up soon. So, human, there is something for you.â
âIâll do anything!â
If only Merson could wake up!
In an instant, a hand came into my shoulder. It was Pierre. I was so focused on Raynonâs words that I didnât even realize Pierre was by my side.
Pierre stood there with a serious face, like a general on the battlefield wanting to entrust an enormous task. Perhaps because of that, I am also determined. After a brief pause, he finally opens his mouth.
âYou can attack the Demon King.â
Did I hear it wrong? I guess so⊠I slapped myself on the cheek to wake myself up, put my hand on my knee again, and listened.
âIf he resists, please tie his whole body and attack him to the end. It will probably be a very hot night.â

25 years. I canât say itâs long, but if I were to pick the most tense moment in my entire life, I would say ânowâ without hesitation.
Mersonâs arms and legs were immobilized with the restraining magic tools given to me by Pierre and Raynon. Curiously, with the inverted U-shaped magic tool on Mersonâs ankle with his legs spread apart without having to put it anywhere, the black light I saw before emits and fixes the leg firmly. Both arms were also restrained in the same way.
I pressed my chest with the palms of my hands and sighed.
The treatment that I knew was, at most, applying ointment and attaching a bandage, so who would have known that I would end up giving a treatment to attack the Demon King! Even my mother wouldnât have known this.
To make the treatment(?) more easier, I cautiously climbed onto the bed and began undressing Merson. However, I had to struggle for a while as it was not easy to take it off because of the magic tools that were stuffed on his wrists and ankles.
âOh, to make such a rudimentary mistake.â
Maybe it was because I was so nervous, I thought about one thing and didnât think about the other. Then I remembered that Merson often used magic to undress me. According to Raynon, I can use magic, so it wouldnât hurt to try it once.
Letâs think. Take it off, take it off, take it off⊠Well, itâs a bit kinky, but I donât have any other purpose, this is for treatment.
I try to hypnotize myself. Mersonâs nude body popped up in my head for a moment as I remembered. And, surprisingly, Mersonâs clothes fall to the floor of the bed.
âAwesome.â
I feel like Iâve leveled up! I was able to use magic even though I had been dimensionally moved with almost 0 abilities. If the term âgreat developmentâ is not used in this situation, where would it be used? Hurray!
âUummmâŠâŠ !â
âHah!â
Now is not the time to be amazed with magic. As Raynon said, Mersonâs mind was slowling coming back. He furrowed his brow and moved his head, and I soon began to see the dim red eyes.
â⊠Erina.â
âAre you waking up? Are you okay?â
Mersonâs eyes looking at me are not the same as usual. To put it bluntly, he seems to have not yet regained his senses.
I sat on Mersonâs stomach and looked down at him. He, who had been silent without answering, immediately stirred his body and began to exert his strength to free his limbs from the restraints.
I pressed my palms against Mersonâs chest, trying to calm him down.
