“Honestly, I don’t know.” Hyunseong answered while scratching his head. ” It’s only been a few days since I came to this world, and suddenly I’m in a state where I can control the demon world… It’s a bit overwhelming.”

He paused for a moment and sighed deeply. Complex emotions swirled in my heart. Fear, excitement, confusion and curiosity were all mixed up.

“But you have to keep your head straight.” Hyunseong raised his head and looked straight at Leah and continued speaking. “To survive in this crazy situation.”

His eyes changed. The usual simple and gentle eyes were gone, and instead there was a sharp determination.

“I don’t want to remain just ‘Chur’. I hate being eaten or owned by someone even more. I will decide my fate.”

Hyunseong’s voice was powerful. Leah’s eyes sparkled with interest.

“Oh, he’s surprisingly brave.” Leah said, giggling. “Okay, go with that attitude. You have to be like that to survive in this demon world.”

Hyunseong clenched his fists. My palms were sweaty. My heart was beating fast.

“I… will navigate this world my way. I won’t be anyone’s slave or toy.”

I could feel the determination in his eyes. Leah nodded with satisfaction.

“Okay, I look forward to it. What you will show in the future… It’s really exciting.”

Leah’s tail wagged. A mischievous smile appeared on her lips.

“Okay then, let’s get ready now. Because there are people coming to see you soon.”

Leah winked at Hyunseong and headed toward the door. The moment she grabbed the doorknob, hurried footsteps were heard from the hallway.

“Get ready, Hyunseong. Because a storm that will change your life will soon come.”

With Leah’s last words, the door opened wide.

The moment the door opened, a strong rose scent hit me. Lilith’s hand, wearing black gloves, roughly pushed open the door, and Sarah, who was hastily following behind, hurriedly said hello, saying “, I’m sorry! “. The room was instantly filled with Lilith’s strong presence and Sarah’s awkward presence.

Hyunseong unconsciously shrunk onto the bed. I was momentarily taken aback by Lilith’s sudden appearance, but the moment I met her eyes, my breath caught in my throat.

Her bright red eyes were moist and moist, with no trace of their usual cold and sharp light. There were clear tear marks around the red eyes, as if they had just stopped crying. He looked like a child who almost lost something precious.

“Mya…”

Lilith called Hyeonseong’s name in a trembling voice. Her voice was filled with relief and deep affection.

Then, unable to bear it any longer, he ran to Hyeonseong and hugged him tightly.

“I’m glad you weren’t hurt… really…”

Her body was much hotter than expected. Thump, thump, thump. The sound of his heart beating rapidly was vividly heard in Hyeonseong’s ears.

Hyeonseong stiffened in the sudden hug, not knowing what to do. However, due to the warmth and earnestness he felt in Lilith’s arms, he reluctantly raised his arm and lightly patted her back.

“It’s okay, it’s okay…”

Hyunseong comforted Lilith, albeit awkwardly. I wasn’t used to this situation yet, but at least I could feel her sincerity.

Sarah, who was watching that scene, felt a prickling sensation in her chest. Relief, jealousy, and unknown emotions shook her heart.

‘Lilith…’

Sarah secretly clenched her fists.

Hyunseong was in Lilith’s arms when he suddenly noticed something strange. ‘weird…?’ A big question mark appeared in his mind.

Clearly, Lilith had been talking to herself since a while ago. I whispered words like ‘I’m glad you weren’t hurt’ and ‘Really…’ in a tearful voice.

However, Hyeonseong could not understand the language of the demons. Their language was completely different from human language, and it sounded unfamiliar and strange, like a magic spell.

‘But… I think I know what Lilith means now.’

Hyeonseong was confused. Even though the words were clearly unintelligible, it felt as if Lilith’s emotions were being conveyed intact. I could feel the deep sadness, relief, and passionate affection radiating from her voice, expression, and every action with my whole body.

‘What happened?’

Leah, who noticed Hyunseong’s embarrassed expression, smiled and said.

“While you were sleeping… I made some adjustments.”

“Adjustment…?”

“Yes. Because your body cannot survive this harsh demon world and demons. Let’s call it a little doping.”

Leah looked at Hyunseong with sparkling eyes as if she were interested.

“Isn’t it amazing? Now you can understand to some extent what our demons are saying.”

“What…?”

Hyunseong opened his eyes wide. If what Leah said was true, this strange phenomenon that she was currently experiencing was also explained.

“But… how…?”

“The language of our demons is not just sounds. It conveys the message through some kind of magical power. The special magical power amplification substance I injected is now flowing through your body. Thanks to this, your magical power concentration has temporarily risen to a level similar to that of demons. Of course, it is still impossible to control magical power as complicated as speaking, but it is possible to at least listen and understand.”

“So… I can now use magic?”

In response to Hyunseong’s question, Leah shook her head and burst into laughter.

“Oh, no. Don’t even dream about that yet. You can’t use magic simply because you have magical power. It requires complex spells, long training, and natural talent. There’s no way you have that kind of talent…”

Leah stopped talking, looked Hyunseong up and down, and smiled meaningfully.

“Well, you never know. Because you might be something that exceeds my expectations.”

“By the way… was it possible to increase magical power concentration so easily?”

Hyunseong still had an expression of disbelief.

“What? Simple? Are you saying you know who I am?”

Leah opened her eyes and got angry. Her two tails trembled.

“Who am I? I am Leah Sinclair, the most outstanding genius scientist in this demon world!”

Leah pounded her chest and raised her voice.

“It’s a special magical power amplification substance that I developed after studying and researching for several days and nights! Do you know how many calculations it took to inject this into you?

Hyeonseong was speechless at Leah’s words. Although her tone was somewhat exaggerated, I could feel that her efforts were sincere.

It was then. A longed-for voice came from next to me, along with a familiar warmth.

“Mya… do you understand me?”

It was Lilith. She was still holding Hyunseong in her arms, but unlike her desperate appearance a moment ago, she was now looking at Hyeonseong with a mixture of worry and anticipation.

Hyunseong looked straight into her eyes. Although the reflection of myself in the pitch-black eyes was still unfamiliar, I could clearly feel the passionate emotions pouring out of those eyes.

Hyeonseong could not speak. As Leah said, speaking the demon language, which was like a magic spell, was still difficult. However, just the fact that I could understand Lilith’s words made my heart swell.

I nodded slowly but surely.

At that moment, relief and joy spread across Lilith’s face at the same time. Her expression noticeably brightened, as if she had let go of all the worries in the world.

“Really…? Are you really listening to me, Mya?”

Lilith lightly held Hyunseong’s shoulder and looked at her face at her eye level.

“Answer me… Mya. If you can understand me… please…”

Her voice was full of earnestness. Hyunseong saw a pleading light in her eyes.

Hyunseong nodded once again.

Then a small exclamation burst from Lilith’s lips. Her face bloomed brightly like a flower in full bloom, and tears of joy flowed from her eyes.

“Ah… Mya…”

Lilith hugged Hyunseong even more tightly. Her arms were warm and soft.

The anxiety and fear I felt when I first came to this world disappeared, and strangely, I felt at ease.

“Thank goodness… I’m so glad…”

Lilith softly kissed Hyunseong’s hair and muttered softly.

“Now… I can… truly… communicate… with you… ”

Her voice was full of joy, but at the same time there was an unknown sadness.

It was a complex and subtle emotion, as if the joy of realizing a long-held dream was mixed with the sadness of the sacrifices that had to be made to make that dream come true.

Hyunseong patted her back carefully. Even though I couldn’t know her past, I knew that what she was feeling now was sincere.

Hyunseong, who was in Lilith’s arms, suddenly thought of Sarah who had followed him. When I turned my head, I saw Sarah standing there in her usual neat maid uniform. But unlike her straight back, her expression was subtly stiff.

‘Oops…’

Hyunseong realized that he had neglected Sera because he only cared about Liris.

Feeling worried, Hyunseong carefully tried to get out of Lilith’s arms.

But Liris, whose excitement did not subside, hugged Hyunseong even tighter and buried her face in his hair.

“No… Mya… Just a little more… Like this…”

Her voice sounded as if she was acting like a child. Hyunseong had no choice but to fall into Lilith’s arms and give Sarah an apologetic look.

It was then.

Hyunseong carefully stretched out his hand toward Sarah, still in Lilith’s arms. His gestures were filled with warmth and reassurance, as if he was saying, ‘It’s okay.’

Se-ra’s eyes widened at Hyun-seong’s sudden action. And the moment she felt the sincerity in his touch, she felt something hot welling up from deep inside her heart.

‘Mya…’

Sera carefully held Hyunseong’s hand with a trembling hand. His hands were warmer and softer than I thought. Sarah’s face turned red without realizing it.

Hyunseong is holding Sarah’s hand in Lilith’s arms.

It was a strange and breathtaking scene no matter who saw it. It created a secret and provocative atmosphere, as if walking a dangerous tightrope between two demons.

Leah, who was leaning against the doorway, looked at the scene with interest.

‘Oh my…’

Leah smiled happily and muttered softly.

‘Things are getting more interesting.’
