Aser, who had been crying for a while, pretended nothing was wrong with swollen eyes and asked about No. 25’s condition.

“Are you okay now?”

“I’m fine… . But the Demon King… .”

Number 25 trembled and brought his hand to Aser’s bleeding mouth. Aser took No. 25’s hand and brought it to his cheek, then smiled and reassured him.

“It doesn’t hurt this much.”

Contrary to the saying that it didn’t hurt, Aser stumbled several times while standing up. No. 25 immediately supported Aser’s body. Aser said it was okay and tried to push No. 25 away, but No. 25 stubbornly stayed by Aser’s side.

Number 25, who was trying to leave the building while supporting Aser, slowly turned his head back and looked at Orca. Breathing sounds could be heard occasionally, but there was no movement anymore, as if he had fainted.

“Can I leave it like that?”

I had a vague feeling that what he was saying meant that there was no need to make sure it was finished.

Aser made a bitter expression. It was clearly unforgivable to take No. 25 and treat him harshly as he pleased.

“First of all, even if I see him like that, he’s a bad guy I’ve been with since I was young. I don’t think the aftertaste will be very refreshing if I kill it.”

“Yes… .”

If that was Asher’s will, there was no room for No. 25 to refute it.

“Let’s go back.”

It was still raining outside.

People in District 6 turned off their lights and locked their stores as the first rain fell.

The two looked around in the rain.

I didn’t want to go back to the accommodation Orca had prepared for me. There was some luggage I brought there, but most of it was clothes anyway. Since it was something I didn’t need to bring with me, I decided to find a new place to stay. If you needed something, all you had to do was get it nearby.

“First, let’s go to Swallow Street. From what I remember, there are mainly ordinary lodging businesses and private houses. Just go there.”

Aser pointed north with his finger. Just that simple movement made Aser’s fingers tremble violently. No. 25 He immediately wrapped Aser’s arm, which was staggering, around his neck to support him.

“You say you don’t have to go this far? I can walk alone, and you are not in perfect condition right now either.”

However, No. 25 rejected Aser’s wishes with a firm voice.

“It’s okay. If you don’t do something like this… .”

Number 25 was resentful of himself for not being able to do anything in that situation. If I couldn’t help Aser like this, I felt like my heart would break at any moment.

Perhaps because he realized the meaning of number 25, Aser didn’t say anything after that. All I did was lean on No. 25’s small body and walk along the extended path.

As I entered Swallow Street, the atmosphere completely changed. I couldn’t see anyone soliciting customers, and the sound of family members chatting through the lights made me feel at ease.

The two opened the door of a shabby guest house located right at the entrance to Jebi Street and entered.

A small bed and breakfast run by an old man. When he saw Aser soaked in blood that even the pouring rain could not hide, he was startled and asked in a husky, phlegm-filled voice.

“Sir, are you okay?!”

Number 25, who was by her side instead of Aser, answered.

“Can I get some medicine?”

The old man told them to wait a moment and, using a chair as a support, took out medicine from a shelf higher than his height and handed it to them.

“There is no bad medicine, but if this is okay… .”

Number 25 received the medicine and bowed his head to express his gratitude.

“Perhaps the room is… .”

“It’s a small bed and breakfast, so there’s only one room, but please come in.”

Number 25 followed the old woman into the inner room.

If a customer came in covered in blood, he might have asked why, but I felt grateful that the old man didn’t say anything.

Number 25, who was walking towards the room, asked the old man from behind.

“Could you prepare a meal right away?”

The old man did not frown at all and answered with a friendly smile.

“Of course. Please wait a moment, I will prepare it and bring it to you in a moment. Oh, the room is right here.”

After showing the way to the room, the old man left for the kitchen to prepare a meal.

Aser entered the room and spoke to No. 25, who had supported him so far.

“You can let go now.”

I thought it would be okay if No. 25 came this far, so unlike before, I didn’t refuse and carefully removed Aser’s arm from around my neck.

Finally alone, Aser sat with his back against the wall and caught his breath. Number 25 sat slightly next to him and watched Aser. Even though there was a threat from Orca, he was ready to accept whatever punishment was given to him for saying the words that betrayed her, even if only for a moment.

However, the words that No. 25 was worried about did not come out of Aser’s mouth.

“Thank you for saving me.”

The lightning strike was a mere miracle, and No. 25, who had never thought of it as his own power, did not understand why Aser was thanking him. This was the one I had to say thank you to.

“Oh, no. The Demon King came to save me, right? In fact, I am more grateful.”

“Coming to save a subordinate is something that anyone who carries the weight of the crown must do. But not the other way around. You have done something worthy of praise.”

Number 25 blushed at Aser’s honest praise. I thought I was used to it, but I wasn’t used to receiving compliments like this yet.

“So, have more confidence. Are you my slave?”

As he said that, Aser pulled Number 25 next to him by the shoulder and made him sit next to him.

A location so close that you can feel the pounding heartbeat.

The moment our eyes met, it felt like time had stopped.

The two closed their eyes without saying anything and moved closer to each other’s mouths.

Just before our lips touch each other.

There was a knock on the door outside.

No. 25 came to his senses at the sound and quickly got away from Aser’s face and headed toward the door.

Aser had a sad expression on his face, and for a moment, he blamed someone who knocked on the door at the wrong time.

Number 25 opened the door and welcomed an old man who had brought a lot of food on a round table.

Aser was lost in thought for a moment as he watched No. 25 being handed a table from the old man.

Isn’t now the time to show No. 25 his unique charm? A small anxiety grew that if I kept giving the same kisses like this, I might soon get tired of myself. Even so, right after having sex with an orca, I needed stronger stimulation to avoid forgetting it.

However, the current No. 25 felt like a piece of glasswork that would shatter if touched, so I couldn’t do such an act hastily.

At that time, the contents of a book he had read before suddenly appeared in Aser’s mind. They say men like it when women show their weakness sometimes. Since we have shown the majestic appearance of the Demon King so far, it is time to show the opposite side. At that time, my body was completely exhausted from the battle with the Orca, and there was no better opportunity than this.

Number 25, unaware of Aser’s thoughts, smiled brightly and carefully put down the table. There were many kinds of simple and neat side dishes on the table, but for some reason there was only one rice.

“They say they only have one meal because they don’t know if guests will come. Demon King, eat first. I will eat the leftovers later.”

“There’s no need for that. Let’s eat together.”

When asked to eat together, No. 25 tried to sit across from Aser, but Aser spoke again.

“Come to the side.”

I don’t know what’s going on, but number 25 did as Aser told him and sat next to her.

Aser lifted the spoon in front of him and handed it to No. 25 with a shy expression.

“Feed me… .”

“Yes!?”

Because this was the first time seeing something like this, No. 25’s voice automatically rose. Aser blushed and turned his head as if embarrassed. But her mouth did not stop and she continued to speak. If I couldn’t overcome the shame and quit, it would be like neither porridge nor rice.

“I can’t move my arm because it hurts. So feed me. That’s okay, right?”

Fortunately, No. 25 lived up to Aser’s expectations and received the spoon, but his voice was faintly trembling.

“Of course it’s okay.”

Number 25 put rice and side dishes on a spoon with trembling hands and took them to Aser.

“Now, do it.”

Just as Charlotte had said to her earlier, No. 25 spoke to Aser in a childlike tone. Aser opened his mouth like a child and ate the meal No. 25 gave him. Having someone else feed me like this was something I had never experienced even in my childhood, but it wasn’t a bad feeling.

Number 25 asked while watching Aser chewing the food in his mouth.

“Does it suit your taste?”

“Yes, it’s delicious.”

The afterword that it tastes better because you fed it to me was omitted out of shame.

Number 25 scooped up the rice again with the spoon that went into Aser’s mouth and then put it into his own mouth.

Number 25, who looked at Aser’s face as he was staring blankly at the scene, quickly put down his spoon with an embarrassed look on his face.

“Sorry, sorry. Get a new one right away.”

“It’s okay. Just keep giving it to me.”

I couldn’t miss this opportunity. Aser’s eyes lit up and he opened his mouth again like a baby bird receiving food from its mother bird. Number 25 said he didn’t know what to do, but since it was Aser’s order, he used the spoon and put it into Aser’s mouth.

Thinking that the spoon had once entered No. 25’s mouth, he could no longer taste the food. Instead of eating food, I just sucked on the spoon.

No. 25, who somehow managed to finish his meal, which was longer than usual, took a long breath and shared with Aser the information he had gained from his conversation with the old man earlier.

“Oh, if you go out the back door here, there is an open-air bath. If the Demon King comes after washing first, then I too… .”

Open-air bath? This opportunity could not be missed either. Aser immediately acted in another foolish way. Now that things have come to this, I have decided to throw away all things like the majesty of the Demon King for today. In the first place, this was District 6, so there was no need to maintain security like in one’s own district.

Aser held the hem of No. 25’s clothes and whispered softly with a redder face than before.

“… Wash me.”
