Episode 6

Anyway, since it’s done, I’ll eat it right away.

Since it is a condensed liquid, it quickly deteriorates over time.

I poured the finished medicine into my mouth without hesitation.

‘Ugh! It’s tasteless.’

full of smell However, it is not the freshness of nature, but more like a fishy smell that rises repulsively.

Is it because it is a weed?

Next time I think I’ll have to squeeze and mix the juice from the berries that grow in the forest.

“hmm… … .”

As I forced myself to swallow the liquid, a strangely bloated feeling flowed down my esophagus and into my stomach.

‘Originally, if I eat something like this, I’ll get a stomachache… … .’

A taste the body rejects.

but i’m fine

《Eating digestion is activated.》

《Bonus by the skill is applied.》

A skill that increases the intake effect. food digestion.

To obtain the added effect implicit when food is consumed.

What I drank was an undiluted solution that had the effect of increasing physical strength.

Originally, it would have to be processed so that humans could absorb it, but the status-raising leap would be completed.

‘I don’t have the money or time for that.’

Above all, there is no material.

It is not easy to gather the materials for making elixirs with the specifications of the 1st playthrough.

So it’s a mindset to beat with the body.

《There is an effect of increasing physical strength.》

《HP 24 -> 30》

It is absorbed properly.

Even using only weeds, the means to grow my specs are established.

Is it literally taking life and replacing it with my own power?

I’m excited like a villain.

“Anyway, with this, I can fully use your energy drain skill for my training.”

It can be used for growth, not recovery.

“hehehe~, our Xian knows more about the devil’s skills than this older sister. Do warlocks these days pass on that kind of knowledge?”

Looking curiously at the empty bottle, I ask.

You don’t have to tell me the secret honestly.

“I have barely learned. … … And, to be fair, this is the proper use of energy drain.”

This feature can be used in games as well.

If you learn alchemy skills and drain-type skills, these special refining functions will be unlocked.

have tested it

“According to the theory, all plants and animals subject to energy drain… … Or besides, I can take away nutrients and reflect them on my growth.”

“In a sense, Cyan could grow his strength in a more demonic way than a demon.”

Emily, who understood how to use it, gave a meaningful smile.

Know.

From noble mtl dot com

Any entity that is subject to an energy drain.

Not only animals and plants, but also… … that it can be applied to humans as well.

It may seem plain because he gained power by absorbing weeds, but he knows that it is actually a dangerous theory.

“I’ll tell you, but I have no intention of crossing the line that far.”

An evil warlock would laugh and be happy to do it, but I have no intention of doing so, and I don’t even consider it in the first place.

“If you do such a thing on this floor, the karma will eventually turn around and stab my belly skin.”

“oh? Are you speaking as if you experienced it yourself?”

I saw. The example of the event ‘The End of Xi’an’.

“There are not one or two seniors on this floor who bought and made friends with it.”

Pursuing power is a good improvement, but you should definitely calculate the payback.

“Fortunately, there are many materials to use in this forest, and as long as you don’t overfish, you won’t have to question anyone.”

Here, inconspicuously, you grow your strength.

Because villains train and work hard behind the scenes.

“What are you going to do with so much power?”

“Well~. Although there are many things I want to do.”

I turned my head in the direction of the academy’s main building.

“For now, we should try to make it the pinnacle of this place.”

Because that is the first goal for success and my life.

It is to make a contract with the devil and make an effort just for that.

* * *

he’s a weird human

Emily, the succubus, was lost in thought as she looked at Xian, the contractor who was to serve her.

The boy rolled up a blanket and fell asleep as if rolling on the floor.

It looks very uncomfortable because it is cold.

“… … When you look at him like this, he usually just looks like a cute boy.”

When he was first called out, Emily regarded the boy as a mere object of interest.

Lightly seduced, enjoyed as if consumed, and discarded when there is nothing more to do.

It was unexpected that his talent as a black magician was quite promising, but that was only about it.

Even if the ministry was successful, it was only a temporary pastime anyway.

“Sian, do you know? What you said would not have ended with a light laugh if it were another demon.”

Perhaps Xian also recognized that he was being underestimated.

That’s why I mentioned it as an interesting material.

the devil’s wish.

Well, it doesn’t matter if it’s from someone or from a messy old book.

Indeed, even the devil cannot predict whether this boy will achieve it.

It’s thrilling if you do it, and it doesn’t matter if you don’t.

Humans are inherently like that.

Sometimes even the devil achieves astounding karma, and sometimes he dies in vain while pursuing it.

‘That’s why demons cling to humans in anticipation.’

It wasn’t his bravado or his qualities that made Emily interested in him in earnest.

The devil sees the human essence.

‘You’ve been born with a strange soul.’

Even now, it is clearly visible in her eyes.

A pure soul who does not know the world of a boy and longs for success.

But there is also a separate radiance mingled with it.

Pure and yet not so.

Even though he is tired of the world, somehow his eyes sparkle in the dream that humans commonly talk about.

‘It looks as if the two souls were born.’

It is contradictory.

The reason I didn’t point it out is because it’s no fun at all.

The contract has already been made.

Then wouldn’t it be more fun to watch what this boy does?

‘It will be worthwhile to get this child as it is now.’

That’s the devil’s instinct.

Emily approaches Xian’s sleeping bedside and puts her palm on the boy’s cheek, who is sleeping deeply.

“Forcing covetousness isn’t bad, but… … Won’t it come yet?”

There are many ways to seduce and corrupt.

However, she does not reveal her true intentions, only playing pranks that show her ulterior motives.

Because it’s still here.

And because it’s too bad

“Or maybe you’ll covet me the other way around.”

Submitting is rewarding, and even obeying is the essence of being a devil, so I don’t reject it.

Of course, if you don’t qualify, you won’t be able to do it.

“Please don’t be a boring person.”

Recently, humans who have been practicing black magic have all become unattractive.

He regards black magic as just a means of prospering and fears the devil and is reluctant to even touch it.

It would be such a waste to seduce this boy just for fun.

“I will feed you for the time being. But taking too much time is not good.”

Because even demons don’t have much patience.

Cook Cook. It was when Emily separated herself from Xian again, laughing lightly without making a sound.

“Okay… … . weight… … woah.”

I shivered as I pulled the blanket I was wrapped in cold.

Do humans get sick at these temperatures?

That’s because the human being feels the cold, it doesn’t matter to the devil.

After all, this body is meant to seduce humans and distract them.

Breathing, body temperature, even flowing sweat are nothing more than smoke to dazzle people.

“It’s embarrassing.”

I wanted to try something, but there was nothing special in this shabby cabin.

It was to the point that Xian also grumbled the entire time.

There is also a way to use magic, but if you borrow this boy’s magic to raise your body temperature, you will lose the meaning of resting.

Watching a boy who is still just a child is quite troubling.

“Oh~! It should be like this.”

Thinking about it, I thought of a method that other humans take when this happens.

Emily smiled mischievously and approached Xian.

* * *

It seems that the temperature in the forest at this time of year was taken too lightly.

‘I thought it would freeze.’

Since it was spring, I thought I would be able to spend at least one night with my youth.

‘Youth is a piece of sh*t… … .’

I tried to spend the night trusting only the two blankets I had obtained from the academy’s supply warehouse halfway through deterrence and sagging.

‘That didn’t work… … .’

I felt desperately that only blankets could not block the coldness of Mother Nature.

Still, at dawn, I felt a strangely warm warmth, and I fell asleep again, hugging it in my sleep.

‘How are you? There must have been nothing to cover or hold?’

It doesn’t matter anyway.

I don’t know~ I’m bored, so I’ll sleep better

I tossed and turned and pulled closer to the warmth.

“hehehe, it’s okay to hold him as much as you like. Come on, come.”

soft touch. Feeling that something like a thin curtain was in the way, I tossed and turned inside.

“Oh my, it’s itchy. Come on! Please enjoy this noona’s arms as much as you like.”

I fell asleep again with the feeling of something like a hand running through my hair… … .

“… … creeping horns. What are we going to do?”

Somehow, a sense of crisis awakens my consciousness.

Sleeping is a big deal in many ways.

After forcibly chasing the luck of sleep, I opened my eyes and stared at the female demon who signed a contract with me yesterday.

“Good morning?”

The outline of her body reflected in the translucent negligee is the first thing that catches my eye.

Maybe it was because she was lying down and tossing and turning, the hem of her clothes rolled up irregularly, revealing her bare skin, but she didn’t bother to tidy up her outfit.

It was also intentionally messy.

Thanks to you, it will remain in my mind and be remembered forever.

“What are you doing from the wind in the morning?”

“Xian, you tried to solve it because you were cold, didn’t you?”

For some reason, I seem to have been sleeping hugging Emily’s chest.

“Because he’s a devil, he can control his body temperature as much as he wants, so I thought he would be able to warm up.”

“Don’t they usually bring something to cover?”

“Coming to think of it, I thought that Xian would prefer doing things like this?”

“Well, not really.”

“… … You don’t deny it.”

It’s much better than waking up shivering with just two blankets.

I’m really glad I worked as a succubus.

I am already enjoying it.

More than anything else, it’s much better than wandering around alone.

* * *

It seemed that the night passed safely, but it was difficult to say that it was a very pleasant morning.

“also… … I need a bed.”

It made me realize once again why humans struggle to find a comfortable place to sleep.

After all, beds are science and revolution.

Let’s set today’s schedule to have some living environment.

“Let’s start by preparing the furniture!”

I’m the type of person who doesn’t feel comfortable when the house is empty.

Even more so, if the furniture is not matched to a certain extent, it will bother you.

Beds, dining tables, wardrobes, desks, chairs, etc., are a lot of necessary furniture.

“I never thought there would be no usable furniture… … .”

“It is miserable.”

When I lightly pressed the remaining bed, I sighed as I saw it split in two.

At first, I thought I could trust my youth and sleep on the floor, but after rolling up a blanket and lying down, I realized it.

I need a bed!

“But don’t you need money to buy it?”

“Ahahahaha, there’s no way you could have something like that.”

i have no money

Xian is poor.

“Where is the money for a kid who came up to the academy only dreaming of success?”

Of course, there is a subsidy system.

However, the payment amount is small, so it is only enough to not go hungry.

reason? There are a lot of people who eat in the middle.

‘There are too many corruptions in this f*cking Manggame.’

As a reward, I plan to throw it in the face of the person in charge of the subsidy payment at the end of this year, shouting, “Whose nose is this?”

Okay. I just don’t give in to this.

“There are a lot of materials here, and gathering is allowed to some extent.”

Materials from this forest were permitted to be collected and used for research purposes.

So let’s be willing to use it and make the furniture we need.

huh? Isn’t it only allowed for research?

Don’t you get scolded if you make furniture?

Okay.

They say beds are science.

So making it is research, right?

All you have to do is insist, ‘I have to prepare an environment to live here, and I’ll do research and study!’

More than anything, the operation of the academy is a rotten civil servant mindset, so no matter what I do, I don’t notice!

There are too many paycheck stealers in this country.

“Anyway, I’m going to gather the necessary ingredients first!”

Please call me today’s carpenter Sian, not Warlock Sian.

There is nothing that I cannot make with my own hands.

I make my living!

“… … Didn’t you want to stand at the top of the academy?”

“At the very least, you have to be prepared to live as a human being.”

I don’t want to stand at the peak like a beggar.
