The Demons In the Reverse Harem Game Are Obsessed With Me - Chapter 45-2

The demons expressed great surprise when she told them that the second wave’s trajectory was aiming straight towards herself. They had their mouths literally gaped open when she spoke of how terrible Bael’s condition was on the top floor of the tower.

[Agares

Master was actually pushed back by the power of the Demon God? Does this make any sense though?]

[ Barbatos

What the hell was the Master thinking anyway? To actually allow the crystal ball to absorb all the red magic.]

Bottis was still in its demonic form, so she couldn’t really read its thoughts. Nevertheless, just by staring at it had been enough for her to know that it felt surprised as well.

Even though she had toned it down a little in consideration of Bael’s honor, the reaction was still this much. Julia regretted that she should have said something smoother instead. No matter what, he was still the Demon King, so to imagine him gaining such sympathy from his subjects had made her feel rather sorry for him.

As she struggled hard on her own, the demons who shared their gazes together eventually rose from their seats and backed away quietly.

It was only after she could hear the click of the door closing did Julia raise her head. She then looked back with an ominous feeling and saw that Bael, whom she hadn’t known when he had even woken up, was already flashing his eyes fiercely.

‘How could they all leave me behind like this?!’

Julia, who would throw off her typical timidity only when she felt threatened, instantly screamed inside. But even so, there was no one that could listen to it. Bael’s gaze that directed at her spoke in a very clear and distinct manner.

‘Shall I go or will you come here.’

It seemed that she forgot about it for a while, but Bael, who had just woken up, could be really mercilessly frightening. Julia got off the couch with quick steps and straight away approached the bed. She was lifted before she finally returned to Bael’s arms.

Julia waited for him as she was laid on the bed while blinking her eyes, but Bael simply put a hand over her face.

“I’m sleepy. So, sleep some more.”

“But I already slept a lot.”

“And?”

“Oh, no. I still want to sleep some more…”

It was utterly strange. Even at this moment, the time limit for the tower quest would have been shortened, but there was also the issue of the Demon King’s honor that had been tarnished all because of her (?).

The miscellaneous worries that had been messing around in her head until recently disappeared like melting snow once she got trapped in Bael’s firm arms and finally, they felt like nothing indeed.

Maybe it was because he had been surprisingly unconcerned about everything. As she saw him wishing to sleep more even though he had just been seriously injured until his subjects became so worried, she eventually came to think about what she should actually be doing at this point.

‘It would really be nice if I could become a strong and nonchalant person like this Demon King one day.’

The sun was shining and it felt so good. Julia listened to the low rhythm of breathing next to herself and slowly closed her eyes.

Julia had been lying in a daze since early morning while simply staring at the system window.

[SYSTEM

– Conditions to unlock: Enter the base, ‘Demon God’s Tower’ together with Bael and Legion.

– Mission: To investigate the inside of the tower. The time limit is 2 days.

– Reward: Activation of the command system.

– Failure Penalty: Permanent inability to enter the base, ‘Demon God’s Tower’.]

Even though she was relaxed at first, her heart became more desperate as the days went by. It was due to the fact that Bael would actually follow her wherever she went or even use his long limbs to wrap her up like a vine, thus preventing her from getting out of the bed at all.

‘Only two days left. I haven’t been able to do anything at all, but there are only two days left.’

She was willing to take back what she had thought when she wanted to be like Bael one day—if only she could just get out of this current situation right now.

Nevertheless, Bael was still in his deep sleep, not caring whether the fact that Julia had screamed or not. He never let her go even if she hit him, in fact, he didn’t even flinch when she pinched him. As she could no longer stand it, she rolled up the sheets and tried to cover her bare skin, but the weapon on his lower body suddenly made its utterly frightening presence that she almost got into serious trouble.

Julia only realized that a man’s thing could actually stiffen up even while sleeping. It was an epiphany that she didn’t particularly wish to know, but it had happened anyway.

‘Could this probably be the difficulty level that the system was actually talking about? If it’s so, then this is just too much. Shouldn’t it at least allow me to enter the tower first?’

Julia felt utterly sad. A small sadness sprouted inside of her, but no one had ever noticed. All because Bael had thoroughly prevented anyone from coming near his nest at all and only Barbatos was allowed to deliver a meal just once a day as well.

Nevertheless, she couldn’t simply give up after all. In order to avoid the failure penalty, she must still enter the tower and complete the investigation quest.

‘Hold your breath and roll over little by little—just by a very tiny bit.’

She held onto her heart calmly and wriggled her way out of Bael’s arm. She then quickly pulled a pillow and placed it right in his arms instead. At first, his brows furrowed as if he was rather uncomfortable, but he quickly fell into a deep sleep once again.

In the meantime, Julia had eventually succeeded in ‘getting out of Bael’s arms’, which had been the number one reason for her failure to escape. After doing the hardest thing, it became easy right after that. Julia smoothly rolled over the wide bed before moving without making a sound to change her clothes and finally, she walked out of the bedroom with backward steps—just like a stream of flowing water.

“Whoo, now that’s a success.”

“How is it so?”

“……ah.”

Julia instantly broke into cold sweat as her lips began to curve upwards awkwardly.

Since when had he been awake? Bael was simply standing at an angle while holding on to the door. On the other hand, Julia once again screamed inwardly amidst the situation which she didn’t want to believe in at all.
