“What..what did you say..?”

I looked up at the Demon King with trembling eyes.

The Demon King continues to caress my face with a strange smile.

“The facial fat is so plump and sticky that it’s addictive.”

“Okay..just a minute..”

I began to feel confused by her busy hands, which were moving my cheeks here and there, tickling my eyes, and touching my ears.

Putting aside my embarrassment, I slapped her hand away, dropped it on my face, and asked her again.

“What did you just say?”

“He told me to live as Jim’s doll.”

“A…hyung?”

When I pushed her away, the Demon King frowned as if he didn’t like it and spoke.

“I came here with my subordinates with determination. I can’t go back empty-handed, right?”

“So…so..?”

The Demon King looked at me with an evil smile on his face as I asked the question in a trembling voice.

“It’s up to you to decide. Will you be the only one to sacrifice yourself? Or will you watch everyone, including the warrior, die?”

“That…that won’t do..!”

“Then you’d better decide quickly. Even at this moment, my legions are devouring your lives.”

She added one more word as if something had occurred to her.

“Ah. By the way, if you’re thinking of waiting for reinforcements… you’d better give up. I’ve already made up my mind before you come in. ”

My heart started beating faster at the Demon King’s words.

As the Demon King said, this was not a situation in which one could relax.

Even while I was hesitating like this, someone could have died.

‘Well…still, it’s a doll…’

I didn’t think there would be a good life there.

The demon tribe will basically have a vicious personality.

Being dragged to the demon world where those demons live could, in some ways, be a punishment worse than death.

You might end up living a life worse than hell.

“You don’t seem to be sure enough to hesitate. Okay. Take your time and think about it here. I’ll be back soon.”

“Ah..No!!”

As the Demon Queen tried to walk past me, I instinctively grabbed her arm and stopped her.

“I will..I will become a doll, so please stop attacking me..!”

I was scared.

I had no idea what I would be subjected to if I was taken away by the demons.

but…

But still..

I want to protect everyone.

Not the novel I used to love. The world I now live in.

No longer characters. People I love.

How scary it was when Lily was hit by the dark knight’s sword and sent flying.

When Melum’s poison approached Iris and Ariel.

When Darkhan was mortally wounded by Arbes.

If only my sacrifice could save them now…

This little fear. I was able to overcome it somehow.

“If you tell me to roll, I’ll roll. If you tell me to bark, do you think I’ll bark?”

The Demon King lifts my chin with a sadistic smile.

Tears welled up in my eyes in fear.

I wanted to run away even now.

I was so scared of not knowing what kind of pain would come to me.

But still.

I became convinced that the regret I would have if my hesitation caused serious harm to those I loved would be far worse.

‘……We finally met again.’

Sorry, Dania.

I’m sorry, Lily.

Because I’m a loser who can’t even be with you.

I wiped the tears running down my cheeks and looked at the Demon King.

“This…doll..”

The Demon King looked at me with an interesting expression. My voice naturally began to shake.

“This…will be a doll…-”

“As you wish.”

The moment I tried to give up and accept everything.

Before I could finish speaking, someone’s voice was heard first.

Even if we’ve been apart for years, I can recognize you in an instant.

Her voice is so familiar to me.

Kwaaang-!

A golden spear descended from the sky and blossomed, and an intense light like the sun enveloped both of us between me and the Demon King.

“Ugh!”

But unlike being enveloped in the same light, there was a clear difference in effect between the Demon King and me.

While the sunlight was burning the Demon King’s flesh, it was only giving me warmth.

As I panicked at the sudden situation, someone grabbed my waist and pulled me away from the Demon King.

“Eww?!”

As the momentary feeling of buoyancy passed and my feet touched the ground again, I immediately turned around and looked at the figure wrapping his arms around my waist.

“It’s been a while, my slave…you’re not here.”

“You….You…!”

When I saw her face, my heart started pounding.

A little bit of hatred and resentment remained. However, the longing and affection that surpassed it all. And the emotions of love were swirling inside me.

Golden eyes that still contain an intense light. And golden hair that shines beautifully.

Above all, her confident face.

Athena.

Athena appeared before my eyes.

“Athena..! How on earth did you get here- Huh?!”

This time too, I couldn’t finish my speech properly.

Because before that, Athena’s lips had collided with mine.

“Hey..ya..! Ja..yeah”

As if a couple who had broken up were reuniting, her tongue entered my mouth in an instant with great eagerness, and poked around here and there.

Although I felt embarrassed, I couldn’t help but put my hands down and close my eyes because of Athena’s strong heart that I couldn’t deny.

“Sigh…sigh..”

Her mouth wrapped around my tongue for a long time and then fell away.

Between the lines of saliva that run between her and me, Athena spoke with a smirk.

“It’s been two years since we last met. You’ll let this go, right?”

“You…You…How did you come to me..?”

“It’s just a coincidence.”

I looked at her with a dumbfounded expression.

What a coincidence..

Could it be that you knew my whereabouts this whole time..?

“It’s quite hot.”

My body trembled at the murderous voice coming from over there.

Athena lightly lifted my body and hid me behind her. After smiling at me once, she turned around and turned her head towards the Demon King.

“Why did a coward who had been hiding in the demon world suddenly come out?”

“Haha… Cheeky bitch..”

Despite the intense flames burning his flesh all over his body, the Demon King answered without paying any attention.

With just one gesture of her hand, the flame that seemed as if it would never go out disappeared in an instant, and the Demon King regained his gentle appearance as if nothing had happened.

“Still a monster of regenerative power.”

As Athena spoke with a sly laugh, the Demon King also smiled.

“You still have a monster-like power.”

“Huh? You have quite a bit of free time. In the middle of the empire, you know.”

At Athena’s words, the Demon King looked at me intently and spoke.

“That’s what I have to say. You’re probably not in a relaxed mood right now, are you?”

Her words brought fear to my heart again.

I hurriedly grabbed Athena by the collar from behind and asked her.

Even as we do this right now, someone’s life may be in danger.

And I was so scared and afraid of it.

“Ah..Athena..! I’m okay..save others..!!”

So I asked her for a favor.

Despite my fervent wishes, Athena only smiled gently and caressed my cheek.

Her actions made me feel frustrated.

“No, now is not the time for that-”

“Shhh. My master.”

She puts her finger on my lips to stop me from speaking.

I stared blankly at Athena with a bewildered expression at her absurd behavior.

Doesn’t Athena know how dire the situation at the Academy is right now?

‘I’m so upset right now..!!’

As I glared at her longingly, Athena hugged me tighter and whispered in my ear.

“Look at the sky.”

“….Sky?”

As Athena said, I raised my head and looked at the sky.

“That…That’s…”

My eyes widened at the unexpected sight.

The sky, which had been covered in darkness just a moment ago, was now a bright blue color.

That’s not all.

From the vast sky, countless blue rays of light descended, freezing all the monsters in the area.

A realm of great magic that transcends ordinary magic.

Besides, this blue color was so familiar to me.

“Marie…”

“Are you relieved now?”

“…….sigh.”

I let out a deep sigh at Athena’s words.

Just as she said, my trembling heart calmed down a little.

If Marie had come… I thought it would be okay.

The biggest problem was the Demon King. But Athena came here.

The rest of the questions can be easily resolved by the other professors, Lily, and Marie.

Athena saw me sighing. She caressed my head and turned her gaze back to the Demon King.

“I think you guys are the ones in a hurry?”

“…….I guess so.”

The Demon King clicked his tongue with a displeased expression.

‘…..thank god.’

Only then was I able to feel reassured by her obedient admission.

….I was really glad.

I’m so glad that I was able to get through this safely.

So that it could end without anyone getting seriously hurt.

When Athena smiled at me, a smile naturally appeared on my face as well.

She was really… annoying and detestable.

Right now, I feel like I want to kiss her a hundred times.

‘…..Thank you Athena.’

You seemed a bit heroic just now.
