Normally, Maria gets a good night’s sleep in the library around 12 o’clock. Lie down opposite me, feeling each other’s breath.

But today is different. Maria, who first opened her eyes to the act of love called her first kiss, did not try to suppress her desire.

Chureup-.

The reason is simple. There is no reason not to kiss.

It’s a fun time. Thirsty pleasure. However, it does not cause harm to others.

The doctrine of the Holy Order rejects even that. No matter how harmless the pleasure is to others, the pleasure itself is no good if you get used to it. That is the doctrine of the Holy Church.

“… Puha, is it still okay to come out so passionately?”

He asked, parting his lips for a moment. Maria sat on top of me with her arms wrapped around my shoulders and said with a grin.

“It’s a deviation.”

“You’re a bad saint.”

“You have to endure it.”

The answer I got back was that even though I knew that, I wouldn’t resist the kiss. I guess it’s that good.

Well, I like it too, so I won’t stop you. I had a mind-blowing kiss with Maria until dawn.

Of course, it couldn’t be like that forever. Unlike me, who has reached the state of absolute perfection, Maria needs to sleep. We must not hinder the growth of a vulnerable girl.

In the end, Maria and I lay down on our sides with our tongues connected. It’s a pretty sensational attitude. Isn’t it like a couple taking time before and after having a relationship?

“Joker.”

“Huh?”

“That… If you feel it is absolutely necessary, it is okay to commit murder. Because Joker is not even human. I trust Joker’s insight and morality.”

Maria cries out, rubbing her body against my body as if fawning over me.

What are you trying to say? I remember we already finished talking about murder in Masurim.

“But… Torture is a different area.”

Ah, it was about him.

“Torture is an inhumane and inhumane act. It is not for nothing that torture is taboo in modern countries. Even if the ‘death penalty’ remains.”

“But I am a demon. Advisors are said to be the most efficient when extracting information.”

“If you only think about ‘efficiency’, there are probably many easier ways. You can take your family or loved ones hostage. However, abandoning such efficiency and taking the arduous path of asceticism. That’s the line. Didn’t Joker wish for good?”

“… Maria always enlightens me.”

While speaking with admiration, he lightly placed his lips on Maria’s forehead and then removed them. On the other hand, Maria laughs bitterly.

“Can I take that to mean that you will accept my request?”

“Yes, I won’t torture you. Instead, I will threaten you. Is that much possible?”

“Tongue, you mean threats…? ? Uh, um… . yes. It may vary depending on the intensity, but… .”

“Thank you, Maria.”

Do not torture.

Why did Maria say that to me?

Since it is Maria’s request, of course she will grant it. However, it cannot be denied that doubts arise.

Considering Mary’s nature, she would naturally be opposed to torture. That’s not strange.

The part that makes me cringe is that when he mentioned that he had tortured the hero, only then did he ask him to stop torturing him.

Is it simply because I remembered something I had forgotten at the time?

I’m sure Maria doesn’t know that I’m a guy who regularly commits torture and threats, right?

That may be true, but I have a strong feeling that Maria doesn’t want Frey to suffer.

Umm… .

“Maria.”

“Please tell me.”

“By any chance, do you still love Frey?”

“… !”

For a split second, Maria’s pupils shook. The pupil quickly returned to its original position, but I did not miss the moment of embarrassment.

“Is that so? Well, to Maria, she is a close friend and comrade in arms who has shared through thick and thin.”

“… .”

“Besides, Maria is such a nice person. It’s worth it. No matter how much of a traitor he is who stabbed Maria, Maria will still embrace and love him in the same way. Because she is a saint.”

“Well, well… .”

“But, how about you let me go now? Hero, he is a pathetic squire. This guy has neither the qualities nor the spirit of a warrior. She became a hero, surrendered to the devil, and left the continent. There is no benefit to keeping him alive. Unless you plan on using it. Of course, I understand Maria’s desire to protect Frey, but… .”

At this point, I think Maria also realized what I was going to say. I continue speaking to Maria, who is clearly showing signs of disapproval.

“You previously concluded that the Demon King seemed to have returned with me and Maria, right? There is still no change in that thought. I still don’t know what the devil’s purpose is. But I gave it some thought… Anyway, if the Demon King led my return, he must want something from me. Isn’t that why you just sit back and watch whatever I do now? In other words, no matter what I do, whether I know the variables or not, you will not touch me.”

“Yes.”

“So… How about killing the hero? In the end, I will have to face the devil in order to protect Maria. We will be on the side of the continent. But think about it. Can we fight with peace of mind while leaving danger behind? There is no need to worry about Maria at night, but what if the innocent Maria of the day suffers from the jealous Frey?”

“Yes… ?”

“I thought there might be something special about heroes. I don’t know. I suspected for a moment that maybe the helper in the dark who returned with me and the Demon King that Maria mentioned might be a hero. But Maria told me. The hero is not a person worthy of that, and the things I suspected were things he did in his past life as well. Then there is no reason not to kill him?”

Maria’s eyes brighten.

It seems like it’s a shock that I can’t even hide.

“Maria, of course, you won’t accept it easily since we were once friends. I also fully understand. However, what if a warrior filled with envy and jealousy does something to Maria while I am away… At that time, I didn’t know what would happen to me. Even if I kill the Demon King, I could become the second Demon King. Do you think that’s too much of an assumption? In his past life, he was the guy who asked the devil to put out Maria’s eyes, so is there any law that says he won’t do that again? So, hurry up and become a hero before it’s too late… .”

“Stop it! Please stop!”

Maria screams out loud.

I, who had no idea that Maria would get upset, was left dumbfounded.

“Absolutely, absolutely unacceptable! You’re killing a warrior! That’s it, absolutely! As long as I live, I will never let this go!!”

Maria’s voice was full of sincerity that came from deep within her heart.

I was embarrassed and I didn’t know why, but I asked her as if to appease her.

“Why, why are you like this… Maria… I was just making a suggestion. okay okay. If you don’t like it, I won’t do it.”

“Ha, ha… .”

“Don’t be angry, don’t be excited. huh? It’s so un-Maria-like right now. Here, drink some lukewarm water and calm down.”

That night, we lay together in the library like usual. And then I went to sleep.

Of course I don’t sleep. Because my body is not so weak that I need to sleep. I stroked Maria’s hair all night and thought carefully about why she was upset.

and… Maria didn’t sleep like me either.

The eyebrows are closed and lowered. Breathing is even. This is the image of a perfect night’s sleep.

But I know. Very occasionally, Maria’s back trembles slightly. Maria could only pretend to sleep and could not sleep all night.

Since she’s Maria, she must have her own reasons. I didn’t bother to wake her up.

10 minutes before wake-up time, I woke Maria up. Maria woke up feeling frizzy on purpose.

“Go, Maria. I’ll clean up after here.”

“Yes… I hope Joker has a great day today.”

A little weak or tired. Maria said goodbye to me and jumped out of the library window.

I cleaned up the library and followed him out. Then he went into my dorm room without a word. Aru, who was sleeping comfortably with his body curled up, senses me and wakes up, stretching.

*****

smart-.

The hero of the continent lives alone in a dormitory room. Because he is a VIP.

Eden Academy’s rule is that even royal family members and saints share two people per room, but heroes are the hope and light of the continent. A being worthy of making an exception to the rule.

“Umm… ?”

Something knocked on the window of Frey, who was sleeping like that. It didn’t sound like the wind was blowing.

Someone came to visit. Frey, who had a good sixth sense, immediately stood up and placed his back on the other side from the window. Then, I carefully raised my head and checked out the window.

Knock knock-.

There, a girl with white hair and white eyes was hanging on the railing and calling out to Frey. A familiar face. Frey quickly ran out, opened the window, and let the girl into the room.

“Ma, Maria? What’s going on?”

Asking the whole story, Frey glanced at his watch. The clock hand does not yet point to 8 o’clock.

‘It’s Mary of the Night! But why did Maria come to me? ‘The Joker might be suspicious of our relationship?’

“Warrior, please stay still for now.”

Maria began groping Frey’s body without any further explanation. Frey was shocked, but he remained calm because he trusted Maria.

Ugh-.

A cloud of white light rose up and seeped into Frey’s body. Divine power. The wounds remaining on Frey’s body healed in an instant.

“As expected… You have scars.”

“Hmm… How did you know this… ?”

“Joker told me.”

“Ah, that’s right. MARIA You stay with Joker all night. Umm… .”

Since I had taken a recovery potion the day before, the wound was not serious. Maria, who had restored Frey’s body back to normal, took her hand away.

Only then did Frey, who came face to face with Maria at close range, notice something and spoke in a slightly trembling tone.

“But… Maria, you have lip marks on your lips.”
