New Chapter!!!!!!

Enjoy~ :3

--------------------------------------------------------------

Hello, Machiru's here.

To recap, I am currently being held captive by the princess of the country as her friend(?) in this palace that got possibly infested by a evil being that is know for ending many countries~☆

I mean she will give me stuff, but I'm starting to think trading it for my freedom is complete bullshit, more so when master objects it.

And now I'm facing a biggest crisis ever since I was held here.

"......Master?" I whisper while holding the rail on the balcony.

It has been 2 days....

2 days when I actually lost contact with the only allies I have here.

'Did the princess finally acted? But it never occurs to me that she's the type that would suddenly went back on her word.'

Unless.....

'Did master found out something that the princess desperately hide?'

if it is, then things will be dangerous, in a lot of way.

The situation in this place, the whereabouts of mum, it is all to vague as if there's a fog that keeps blocking that information. And master is the only one that could somehow make it work with his infiltration skill without being detected.

The fact that master is out from the game means that I'm playing with a blind eyes, right now.

'But master..... Is he actually alright?'

I immediately clap both of my cheeks.

'No, even if his strenght is not enough. He could escape! He's always good at hiding, I am sure that he will be fine!"

Now, I should think how I should act from here now.

And the fact that this is getting being dragged on for being cautious has finally annoy me for a bit.

She will give me benefit, but for what?

If it's mean it will be traded for my freedom then I would literally prefer to sleep on the bridge and create an explosion to bring out all those hermit big shot for master's identification.

And the fact that she is potentially aiming for my master proofs that I can't actually trust her anymore.

"Okay, it's time to rebel now..... Where should I start?" I tilt my head to ponder.

""

I immediately twist my body while lifting one of my leg and giving it a full force.

But strangely, the blow only meets the air.

"Is it really your way to greet someone that suddenly talks to you? how many people got hurt by your barbaric instinct, I wonder."

A flowing dark hair that blends with the night, as well as the pure obsidian iris that gleefully stare to express his amusement.

Such feature suits his friendly impression. Yet he exude a very icky aura that I can't help but to heighten my guard to prepare what's coming.

"If your presence is not full of malice, I will probably put a smile on my greeting..."

Wait..... Is nicely greeting a person who suddenly whisper on your ear is normal in the first place?

"......While probably knocking you on the ground!" I boldly claimed.

"Wait a minute, you're saying as if I'm a pervert or somethin.... Wait a minute!!"

He suddenly have a deep thought for a good 5 minutes that I suddenly start to wonder if I should risk strike him while he's been in that obviously unguarded position but he suddenly start to laugh loudly.

"I see so I am being a pervert for having less than 15 centimetres distance with a female sub species according to your human rules, I see, I see, I see!"

He looks excited in his enlightenment as he stretch his hand out and exclaim boldly with a smile.

"I'm sorry!"

Oho, what's this? the opportunity to hold a boy's hand the first time on this life as a very innocent villainess young lady?

Of course, but the only downside is that he might be here not to have a friendly chat, invite you on a date...... But a he's very obviously non-human that have a very high chance to be the underling of the princess that lock you here.

'Yeah right, this thirst will not kill me today!' I thought while maintaining the face that looks like I could bite him off if he comes closer.

He look at my very not welcoming expression and tilt his head on the side.

"What's wrong? Isn't it a human custom to shake each other's hand as a ritual of reconciliation?"

"... About tha-"

"Ah! But isn't that broking the '15 centimetres distance' rule??! What a contradiction!!! What dillema!!!"

.....What is this?

Is he trying to steal my 'consuming the other person's braincell' character setting by being far more oblivious on human interaction than me?!

How dare!

'Okay but, is it really a time for you to compete with him?' As my voice of reasoning is patting softly on my heart that is burning with a sense of rivalry.

I inwardly pat my forehead and take a deep breath as I'm converting to a more serious Machiru.

"I don't really mind, just don't suddenly whisper on someone's ear again... But for real, who the hell are you? Are you that devil lackey that works for princess Florence?"

He looks at me and smile, as he exclaim proudly.

"Correct! As for the fact, I'm here pondering if I should kill you since you stole all her affection!"

"...."

"Because I love her so much that it drives me crazy if even a sliver of her attention is not being directed to me...........!"

"...."

"Only she could see me, only I could be her happiness, her future, existence, hopes, and dreams could only be filled with my existence alone!!!!"

"What the fuck?! I think I ever heard this line somewhere from yandere tag series." I exclaimed loudly, not realising I finally play the role of the straight-man instead of mum or master.

"Yes, the point is...." He suddenly walk closer while I step back because I actually feel quite weirded out by his eyes that slowly whirled into dark obsession.

""

I stare at his eyes for a good long time and finally conceded.

"You're nuts, so I believe on your 'exclamation of love' part."

"Great! You finally understand!" He raise his arm and and exclaim his happiness to the ceiling as if he won an olympic medal.

It certainly connects at how he's being the demon that the princess handle but something is amiss....

While trying to figure out this part of my heart that is tingling very uncomfortably, he suddenly threw the bomb that crash my mind into disarray.

"That is why I will get you out of here!"

"??????"

Fuck, did I unconciously drink a bottle of alcohol without me realizing? Why did I feel like I'm in a middle of a high period???!

Worst part is, I would probably had less headache if I'm actually drunk!

"I have a lot of things that I want to retort, but answer this.... Would you be royally fucked up if the princess knew that it's all your doing?"

And let me assure you the princess would most definitely knew, because I can't even get out of here without the devil's noticing.

"...Hmmm~ She will probably forgive me?"

"I guess since you've done so much for her..... But I don't think she is the type to let you off the hook without cutting one of your limbs off...?"

Now that I said it, there's no doubt for the fact that the princess is a very scary and forward person has already been solidified on my minds now.

A few days ago, I saw a castle wall was blown away from a highly concetrated holy energy.

Since it's far away from my room's balcony, I decide to ask when she come to visit.

'I just feels like the wall is in the way for building the tree that would be our picnic area together, so I blow it away.' She said as if she's just moving a troublesome weed.

And hoo boy, was I touched until I realized I will probably staying longer if she actually do something big like making a new area for an outsider like me.

"Hmmph! I am confident that she cannot harm even a hair of myself." He said with utmost confidence.

'Whoa, crazy.' I thought in awe.

You mean that you won't be harmed if a [Holy Chevalier] swing a sword that could wipe an army towards your mug?

Also that big ass [Holy Chevalier]'s specialty holy beam that said to be the most effective spell against an evil being?

I can draw a two simple scenario right from his exclamation.

One, is that he is a complete lovestruck dumbass for giving a human girl a power that actually suprass him without him knowing.

Second, is that it's almost the same but his power is a real deal.

'And a power that could easily suprass the bullshit class...'

'Is a devil is stronger being than from what I remember or this guy is just simply built different?' I thought, while doubting my past life's memories.

"I mean, how could she ever harm a person that held an affection for her that is so ever deeply? I am very sure with the power of love that you humans boast about will incite the seed of understanding!"

'Crap, he suddenly looks like he could be the option one guy!'

'Wait, but it's not supposed to be my main concern currently.'

"Are you really willing on getting me out?"

I'm actually hoping he would be the second option guy so all of this will went smoothly.

If it's the first option guy? Welp fuck it, I'm running out of option since I lost contact with master.

But overall, I need him to be able to keep his word regardless if he's the option one or two so all of this will not be pointless.

"Well that's what I said! If you don't believe me....."

"Should I tell you, your mother and your master's condition?"

"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I suddenly zoomed closer towards him, forgetting the fact that he's a suspicious figure.

"Are they fine?? Is mum eating well?? Has the princess touch any of them?? Has master's old back actually hurting from all this cold so bad that he could not even contact me??"

What drives me more crazy than being locked up here is the fact that mum and master is still here.

Usually I don't really need to worry about master, but the fact that he's not contacting me seriously makes me consider to do a really reckless action, right now.

When I'm about to inquire more, the man make a disgusted expression and push me away as if I was a vermin.

""

"..."

And then his face changed.

"Oh dear, did you actually take it seriously?"

"....."

"Since I wouldn't feel offended unlike you human, I would love to forgive you kuhehehehehehehehehe!!!" As if he found my reaction to be hilarious, he laughed as if he just reach peak comedy.

"........"

Oh mother, oh master.

The amount of sacrifice I will put up just to see you guys once again.

Such a filial daughter I am.

×××

On the orb like shape I saw.

A carriage that is on the way out from the castle.

A very dumb prince who tried to start up a conversation with a blond strawberry haired bimbo.

And the same bimbo that is trying to have her maid that is somehow too good for her mere existence that just nod to everything she said with a expressionless face to join up the conversation.

Very familiar face, very familiar gesture.

"Oh thank god....."

Not so much grateful that the bitch and the idiot prince is somehow still looks fine and all, but I am very grateful that their existence is somehow tolerable in my eyes.

'That princess..... Is she telling the fact that she know my mother that just happens to be in her castle explicitly to me just to put another psychological prison once again?'

But wait, I think it's too early to celebrate.

"This is not an illusion right?"

Even though the personalities of these people is so real that I almost have no doubt that it's the real thing, but I'm literally having a devil as an information source here.

"Hmm a very logical concern, so let's do this!" He then put his hand on his chest.

And dig right through it.

"!!!!!!!!!!"

While I was in shock for witnessing an 18+ gore scene right in my eyes, he do something even beyond that.

"Here take out your hands~" as he grip out a still beating purple coloured thingy out from his body.

Normal person should've puke at this point but I just notice something's weird.

There is no blood coming out from the hole that he just pierce.

Only a dark and hollow space, as if it's a personification of complete emptiness.

"See, there's is no blood or a putrid smell coming out even if we took out our heart unlike you humans, you could even smell a lavender if you take a deep sniff on this thing!" He said, treating his own beating heart like a room freshener.

"And your point for having to show this sight right after my dinner is.....?"

"This is my life, if it shows that I lied all this time, you may squashed it!"

"???"

"Umu, it certainly shows my sincerity~ How is it? Are you touched?" He said while placing his heart on my hand.

I can feel the beating sensation and the whiff of lavender just like he said.

"......My trust went up high for a moment that it's actually scary! Is this the trickery all you devils used to brought more than 50 kingdoms to ruin?!" I said while holding this thing like a ticking bomb.

"Wait, bomb.... Is this thing actually a self made bomb that you disguise as a heart? Am I gonna explode if I actually squeezed it in?"

Rather than being relieved, I'm starting to higher up my mental guard.

Life experience told me that if someone suspicious is handing over something precious to you easily, it will 90% be a trap.

The devil tilt his head, pondering.

"Hmmmmm, a reasonable concern, Ah! Didn't you have a rare ability to feel every life force on this planet?

Ah, yeah I was so shocked that I temporarily forgot my profession's ability.

But how did he know? Did the princess tells him or something?

I decide to halt the thought and focus on verifying the heart on my hand.

"[]"

.....

.......

........????

"...Jinsei no Kiseki!"

???????

"....Jinsei...."

.....

.....

......

"...........Kiseki!"

.....

........

..........

Some times later.

"It's real....." I said, while laying on the ground for overusing my eyes of life perception.

"78 times to confirm, never had I seen a human as thorough as you. I'm feeling a bit hurt~" He said while patting his empty chest hole that is slowly covering up.

"I admit that you're very fishy from head to toe. But I guess i will put down my trust on you for now....."

'But just so you know......... I'm still keeping an eye on you!!!!!'

After I said those petty tsundere line on my head, I get up and ask this question that has been bugging me.

"Why do you give such an important thing to me, aren't you afraid that I will abuse it?"

Like, maybe to control you to give a ton of dirty money or starting a kingdom, like those greedy fantasy king I read on history books.

He looked at me and answered.

"Is controlling someone is your happiness?"

He cast his eyes downward and start to shake.

'Huh? What's with him all of sudden?'

"!!!!!!" He quickly flipped his head up to show his face and suddenly I can't believe my eyes.

Small frame and a sapphire eyes, it was completely identical to my face.

'Wait, why am I having a bad feeling about this?'

"I am......" He said dramatically while striking a pose.

Suddenly realizing the 'thing' that he's gonna do, I immediately speak up.

"WAIT, DON-"

"A 'good' greedy person~☆"

'GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!'

It was a beginning for the night full of agony.
