*Since Presea is set to catch a cold, the sentences are a little strange. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not thereThe next story will return to the original cheerful tone.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there

Long ago, two creation gods joined hands and created two worlds. 

The “human world” is a place where humans are weak, but when they cooperate with each other, they create tremendous power. 

“Makai”, where demons with foul powers called magic live.

Humans worked together to build a better world. 

However, the demon world was terribly desolate and became a “failed” world. 

Because the demons were ugly creatures who were swallowed by ugly desires, hurting each other and scrambling for assets.

Such demons not only fought with each other, but also envied humans, who are pure and beautiful beings, and tried to take possession of the human world. 

I entered the human world. read only at salmonlatte . com.

It is said that the demons are still jealous of the clean and precious humans, and will attack them if they have the chance.

──I wonder what I have been taught all this time in the human world. 

After meeting the Demon King and Tiara, I often thought that way. 

The Demon King calls me his pet, but the eyes that stared at me were so gentle that it made me itchy.

So do all the people who take care of me.

Not a single person harmed me as a human. 

On the contrary, everyone loved me.

Maybe what I was taught in the human world was wrong. 

If so, what kind of world is the Demon World?

I might want to know more about this world.

I just thought so. 

Is it because I think too much? 

“Hmm…”

“Oh, Presea-sama, I’m so sorry.” 

Uuu.

I pound my head. 

Feel ill. 

“Tiara, I feel cold…”

“It’s okay, if you feel sick, throw up everything.”

Did I think too much and have a fever of wisdom? 

Maybe it’s because I was drenched in water during the garden incident.

Anyway, I caught a cold and had to go back to bed. 

“Tiara, tiara”

I call out Tiara’s name while being overwhelmed with fever. 

“I’m tired” 

Maybe because I’ve become a child, my fever doesn’t go down easily.

Everyone was worried and took turns staying by the bed.

“Tiara, Yuki, and Vanillie are all by Presea-sama’s side.” 

Tiara said while rubbing her body worriedly. 

“Demon King-sama is…?” 

“The Demon King will be here soon.” 

Before I know it, I want to see the Demon King.

When I slept with the Demon King, it was very comfortable.

I thought I could feel safe here.

Demon king-sama, where…? 

“Demon king sama……” 

I was overwhelmed with fever and unknowingly longed for the Demon King. 

Is it because I had a high fever?

My vision swirled around and I had a bad dream.

◆

“Is that woman still praying?”

──Every time I pray, my body aches. 

『You must have clung to your status as a saint and came here without making any effort.』 

──Every time I pray, my heart screams in pain. 

“That woman must want the envy of the people. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not thereShe is a very shallow woman. read only at salmonlatte . com.

“Nobody asked for it” 

──Somebody save me. 

“I wish I could just die” 

──Please take care of me. 

I ──.

“Hmm, even if I eat something, I’m going to throw up, so should I get an intravenous drip?”

When I woke up, the doctor was there.

She’s a beautiful, big-breasted female doctor who always looks after me.

Umm, her name is… 

No, I’m dazed and can’t remember.

The doctor began to prepare some equipment. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there

that……? 

What’s that needle-like thing in your hand?

“It’s okay, it just stings a little.”

“What is that……?” 

Tiara told me that she looked uneasy. 

“The needle will feed Presea-sama’s body directly.”

As soon as I heard that, I was horrified. 

Am I still watching the continuation of the nightmare?

My head was confused and I was so mad that I wondered where such power came from. 

Just before pricking the needle, I became unbearable and tried to run away.

“No! No no!” 

After bouncing off the needle, I burst into tears like a real five-year-old. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there

“Terrible, terrible! Everyone’s a liar! You’re doing me pain!” 

“Presea-sama…”

“No, I won’t do that!” 

Everyone was in trouble, but it’s crazy to put a needle like that into your body.

Is this torture?

“Noo…”

Cry like a child. 

Everyone was trying to calm me down.

But I can’t stop crying.

“what up?”

A calm voice echoed in the room. 

Even though it wasn’t that loud, my sensitive ears picked up the sweet voice. 

My vision was distorted by tears, and black blurred.

“……Oh, poor you”

Wipe away my tears with his usual big hand. 

“Demon King sama…” 

The one there was, as usual, the Demon King who looked calm. 

The Demon King sits down on the bed. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not thereI desperately tried to get up and cling to him. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there

My head is throbbing and I feel like I’m going to sweat. 

Tiara hurriedly said, “Please go to sleep!”

“Is it painful, Presea?” 

“Yes Yes……” 

My heart strangely calmed down when I was hugged by the Demon King. 

Even though I was crying so hard, my tears stopped.

I snorted and clung to the Demon King’s chest. 

“No, the needle, no…”

Saying that, I whine.

I sensed that Demon King-sama was making eye contact with the doctor. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not thereThen a quiet voice comes down.read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there

“……Can you listen to me for a moment?” 

“…”

After being silent for a while, I nodded, saying that it can’t be helped. 

“good girl” 

After saying that and stroking my head, my body lost strength again. 

“This is to cure your illness.” 

“…do you often do this?”

“Yeah. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not thereYou can’t take nutrition from your mouth, so you use a needle to put nutrition directly into your body.” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there

“… scary, that’s weird…” 

My body trembled. 

It’s insane to put a needle in your body.

“It’s not strange. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not thereIt’s normal in the demon world. read only at salmonlatte . com.

“…”

“Can’t you believe me, Presea?” 

He grabbed my chin and made eye contact with me. 

“I’m scared…”

I spill tears, the Demon King wipes them away. 

“It’s okay, it’ll be over soon.” 

“…”

“It’s okay. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not thereI’m with you” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there

He strokes my cheek. 

It seems that there is no right of veto.

“Do it. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not thereI’m watching.” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there

Demon king-sama said to the doctor.” 

“Ugh~”

I get scared and tremble. 

Then, I was hugged by the Demon King.

“… Huh… Impossible… Hikku… Oh no…!” 

Even if I resist, the Demon King won’t let go.

“Yes, it stings a little.” 

“Ah!”

It’s hurt!

I almost screamed at the sensation of the needle pointing into my skin. 

I tried to escape, but I couldn’t move because the demon king was hugging me tightly.

Tears flowed out, and sobs leaked out. 

After staying still for a while, the tingling sensation subsided.

“… Yes, it’s over. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not thereYou did a good job.” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there

The stabbing needle was fixed with tape. 

I was scared and didn’t look over there. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there

“You did a great job, Presea.” 

The Demon King stroked my head. 

I rubbed my head against Demon King-sama while sobbing. 

“It hurts… I hate it…”

“It’s okay. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not thereIt will soon disappear.” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there

I was muttering lies, lies, but maybe because I was tired, I started to get sleepy. 

Then, little by little, the pain of the intravenous drip disappeared. 

I just feel a slight discomfort in my arm.

“Your Majesty, let’s let her sleep like this.” 

“Um”

Demon King put me to bed when I was exhausted. 

The comforting warmth is far away… 

“Do not go……” 

“Uhm, I will always be here” 

The demon king held my hand. 

“Once you’re healed, I’ll listen to your selfishness.”

My body is hot.

I looked up at the Demon King with wet eyes. 

“I…I want to eat ice cream.” 

“Yes, then let’s go to town.” 

“Really?” 

“Oh. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not thereI heard about a good ice cream shop the other day.” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there

“Obviously, will you come with me?” 

“If only I could cure this cold properly.”

Hang on, Demon king-sama matched his forehead with mine. 

“I won’t lie to you. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not thereI will do anything for you.” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there

Then, then.

“Don’t leave me alone”

Even pets are fine. 

I used to be a saint, but now I’m by the Demon King’s side.

I want to stay here.

Even if it was a fake relationship.

The Demon King parted my sweaty bangs and dropped his kiss.

“I promise. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not thereI will never leave you alone.” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there

The Demon King laughs. 

“It’s okay. read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not thereYou don’t have to suffer anymore.” read only at salmonlatte . com. This annoying watermark is not there

……I see. 

It’s really over, isn’t it?

I don’t have to pray. 

I noticed it for the first time since I came to the demon world.

No, I realized.

I don’t have to become a saint again, and I don’t have to go back to that place.

I don’t have to wear that circlet either.

His Highness doesn’t say bad things to me.

There’s no more pain or suffering.
