Chapter 66:
Chapter Sixty Six: Ten Thousand Lives
SAVING THE DEMON QUEEN IN ANOTHER WORLD
I managed to avoid having my life sucked out but I still died nonetheless.
When I came to, Lust was in a panic. She was about to lose it. My head was being hugged tightly in her arms and pressed against her chest. She was almost to tears.
It seems she thought I died. She had to be in a panic. I mean come on. Losing the only person who she’s able to talk to normally in 60 years is plain despairing.
Needless to say she was super surprised to see me wake up. Her eyes and mouth showed it all. I quickly jumped away from her the moment I revived. Touching her directly is dangerous in itself.
The tears still came out from her eyes. They were the tears of relief though.
Apparently, I would really have died if she had succeeded in sucking me whole. She was able to stop when she reached the neck by sheer will power. She had no means of stopping herself once she starts sucking lives away prior to this. I’m glad she considers me at least important enough to keep alive.
It would have become the end of me. And I would live on forever inside of her adding to the many lives she has.
{I have over ten thousand lives inside me. They are the lives of all those warriors and soldiers whom I have killed. Their bodies decay but their lives only add to my immortality. That is why I cannot be killed. You’d have to kill me over ten thousand times in order for me to stay dead.}
Ten thousand lives……………… I can imagine the burden she must feel for taking all those lives away.
Thankfully, I didn’t die from having my life sucked away, I died from losing all my bodily fluids. From head to toe, everything escaped and gushed out like a dam. It was a brutal death to the viewer. But to me, it was the greatest death ever. A blissful death.
But still, I don’t want to die again. No matter how many times I die, I just cant seem to get used to the feeling of emptiness and loneliness before I revive. And that girl in black I always see before I wake up. I saw her this time around as well. She was not smiling in the slightest. Like she was pissed at me for allowing myself to die or something.
In order to protect myself, I have to make sure she doesn’t find out that I can revive when I die. Or else she’ll take advantage of that to kiss me again. Or so I thought when she said………
{You have a lot of secrets. You tasted just like the demon queen when I was subconsciously sucking away at your life. And you came back after you died as well. Fascinating.}
“The demon queen!? what do you mean by that! Please tell me about this demon queen!” in search for answers, I frantically raised my voice at her.
“NN~N~~~N~~NN~~~~!!!! T~he~ de~~m~~on qu~~e~n~~~~………..”
No tell me directly. It takes too long when you use your mouth.
I was anxious to hear what she had to say. Everyone keeps calling me a demon. If I have anything to do with the demon queen, then I really have to know that.
She decided to use telepathy. Her face became serious and she started {It’s like this………..” when her stomach growled loudly “KUULEEE!!”
Instead of feeling embarrassed and covering up, she moaned instead “A~~A~A~H~~!!”
Absolutely everything feels good to her.
{Can we talk about it tomorrow? I’m kinda hungr~~y.}
“But……….” I couldn’t push for her to tell me. I’ll just have to be patient till tomorrow then. I don’t want to make her hate me by being inconsiderate of her.
Sitting down on the floor while leaning on her right hand, she softly gestured with her left hand telling me to come closer {Why don’t we eat together since it’s already dinner time? I’ve always wanted to eat together with someone else.}
Dinner time!? how long have I been here? The time passes like lightening whenever I come here. I have to go back or else Meila will be angry at me.
I quickly rose from my seat when she muttered “Me~~I~~l~a~~?” she read my mind without permission again.
“Ah yes. She’s my friend who I live together with in the………….” before I could finish, the atmosphere around us changed to that of danger.
“She!?” she groaned with a voice so scary I froze in my tracks. It was the first time she said a full word without moaning.
“.…….W-what do you mean ‘she?’ there’s no way I’d live together with a girl. You must have misheard me because I said ‘he’.”
Her eyes fixed on me. Not showing any sign of averting.
He’s a boy. He’s a boy. He’s a boy. He’s a boy. I repeatedly thought in my head hoping she wouldn’t be able to read my mind.
I stayed still for a whole minute while repeating that before she was finally convinced {I see…}
I then quickly turned around when {Wait…………… will you come visit me again? Will you come see me again?} her eyes and voice showed signs of desperation. She sounded as though she doesn’t want me to leave.
“Of course! I’ll come here everyday if you’ll allow me!!”
{Really!? Then please feel free to move in here if you want.}
Huh!? move in……..!!!?? Did I hear her wrong!?
Move in with the love of my life? How great will that be!?
But wait, it’s incredibly dangerous if I stay here. What if she sucks my life by mistake? I’m sure she’ll regret it forever since I’m the only companion she has. I really look up to her for not falling into despair despite being alone for sixty years. What if the trigger lies elsewhere? I wont be able to forgive myself if she falls into despair now because of me. She doesn’t even want me to leave this house, what will she do if I were to die in her hands?
“Well I’ll see you tomorrow!” I pretended like I didn’t hear what she said when I buzzed out of the entrance.
I then flew straight home from there. My heart fluttered freely. Knowing she needs me is the greatest thing ever.
“How did it go? Did you stop by somewhere?” Meila concernedly asked when I returned home.
She was sitting in the living room reading a cooking book for beginners. I made sure to enter from the front door so that she wont think I met with Lust. I did promise not to see her again. I even went as far as smelling myself to make sure that Lust’s scent didn’t rub off on me. I heard that even a corpse might transmit the scent to the carriers. And that it would result in the death of the carriers.
I didn’t smell anything at all. Maybe it’s because my nose has adapted to the scent or maybe it didn’t rub on me. I planned on quickly leaving the house if Meila had shown any signs of pain. Thankfully she didn’t.
“I cooked dinner thinking you’d be hungry when you return.” like a waiting housewife, Meila placed a food flask on the dining table with an inviting smile.”
I was so taken by her attitude that I didn’t know what to say.
“T-thank you………”
She even went as far as serving me a plate. The food she cooked was potato porridge with fish. A mild sweet aroma can be felt coming from it.
Not bad “It’s good.” I commented.
So far, it was the best dish she had made. Despite being really easy to cook, she did her best considering she couldn’t even boil water properly.
If strangers were to see this, they’d probably assume we are a couple. I want Lust to treat me like a husband………… Aah I can picture that happening. She’ll be a perfect wife if you exclude house chores from her tasks.
“Is it really that good? You look like you are in a dreamland.” seeing my delighted face from thinking of Lust, Meila asked.
“Um yes……….” I lied.
I’m sorry Meila. Even though I promised not to see her again, I went behind your back and met her again. I even kissed her………….
I’m sorry I cant help it. I’ve had a few crushes here and there before coming to this world, but this is the first time I’ve really fallen in love with someone. I want to be close to her forever……….!!
Aaah~! being in love feels so good!! it was worth dying for that kiss.
That’s right! I almost forgot. If I died back then, then the scar I received from touching her boobs should have disappeared when I revived.
After finishing my meal with Meila, I pulled up my right sleeve to get a good look on my hand. There weren’t any scars and my arm was perfectly healed.
So I really did die huh? What kind of platonic love relationship awaits me if I can’t even kiss or touch her without paying a grave price? Can I really hold back being close to her and all?
Well, I’ll just have to die over and over again if it means being lovey dovey with her.
“Just thinking about it makes me……………..”
I mistakenly said it out loud. Meila heard and asked “Thinking about what?”
“I-its nothing!”
There’s no way I can tell her that I was thinking about Lust. Wait, what’s her real name? I cant keep on calling my ‘girlfriend’ Lust. How silly of me calling her ‘my’ girlfriend. But she did look sad seeing me go. And she even told me that I’m the reason she moans so strongly. It’s definitely love!!
Meila and I stayed up late chatting about various things. I asked some of the things I wanted to ask her but was careful not to mention the name ‘Lust’. I couldn’t ask Meila the story of the people Lust killed. No matter how I look at it, killing ten thousand people is insanely overpowered. She must have had a reason to do that. Maybe they are enemies. There’s no harm in killing enemies is there?
Apparently, Meila used most of the groceries we had to practice cooking. She asked if she could use the money to buy more. Of course I told her to use as much money as needed. I have a lot of money to say the least. And I haven’t even sold the freezer items.
All the money we’ve been spending till now have been the remainder of the money I paid for the repair in the inn Etis works. I would have had a lot more if those bastards didn’t steal the money I saved to free Leila.
Speaking of Etis, I wonder how she’s doing. She was really nice to me.
It seemed the reason Meila talked about grocery shopping with me is because she wanted to go together with me. I would have declined but I thought that we were past the point of mocking and teasing each other. I agreed to go along with her when I get back from the dungeon. I still don’t know where the market is in the city.
