CH 124.2

Demon’s body relaxed, and she was unable to resist.

Demon’s body quickly regained its original human color, and at the same time, Hinomoto’s mouth began to eject a black mist.

“Momu~…mo!”

With a pop, the last of the blob came out, and the little girl grabbed it and started running at a trot. When she reached the lake overflowing with honey juice, she rolled it up, kneaded it, and threw it in.

“Round and round and round and round~~♪”

As she twirled her finger, the lake began to form a huge whirlpool, swallowing the black blob. When it reached the center of the vortex, all the honey juice in the lake condensed at once and swallowed the black blob.

The blob dissolved and became one with the honey juice. The little girl made a gesture of holding her hand and

“Squeeze♪”

In an instant, that enormous volume turned into honey-flavored [Candy]. The empty lake remained, and the [Fairy Magic] was applied again, this time to fill it in the blink of an eye with water pouring out of nowhere.

The little girl was so pleased to see this that she threw the [Candy] into her mouth and ran towards Hinomoto again, tottering.

“…Ugh…hmm? Where am I…?”

“Oh, you’re awake?”

She was…asleep in a chair. In front of her was a cup of tea, probably freshly brewed, with steam rising from it. And right in front of her, a woman she didn’t recognize was holding a young girl with wings that looked vaguely familiar, and they were eating snacks together.

(I was supposed to be fighting as a Demon, right? But I don’t have [Demon] in my status…how the heck did I lose?)

Hinomoto had her doubts, but decided to talk to the girls for now, and they greeted her with smiles.

“”Good morning…””

“…Oh, yeah. I can’t quite grasp the situation, but good morning. Who are you?”

“This girl asked me to pick you up. My name is Arena, nice to meet you.”

“Oh, that’s so nice of you, but what the heck is this place?”

“This…”

The young girl then offered her a clear, amber-colored candy. “What is this?” she thought.

“I was listening to her story earlier, and she told me that she sucked out your [Demon] part, processed it into [Candy], and ate it. That’s what it looked like, right?”

“…What?”

“Nihihihihi…”

She turned her attention to the little girl, who hugged Hinomoto, shaking her auburn hair. She gently hugged the little girl back, put her on her lap and started patting her head.

She thought they look like a mother and daughter, but she still couldn’t quite grasp what was going on. Could all this actually be real?

“Well, I heard that this place is a magical recreation of your ideal, is that right?”

“…yeah”

When she looked around again, she saw that everything she had hoped for was there. All the things she couldn’t have wished for, everything that constituted her ideal. Ha, what is this…

“This is all made out of sweets,” she said. “It seems to be this girl’s taste.”

“Mm?”

“…”
