Chapter 20 - The Human Egun Loves
“Smooch, smooch…♡ Smooch…”
Egun sat on my lap and kissed me. She was always active, but today she was particularly aggressive.
“Mmm, smooch, smooch…”
She pressed her soft lips firmly against mine. At the warm and lovely sensation, I smiled and grabbed her head. Though Inis was beside us, I gradually forgot about her due to the sweet taste and fragrance.
“Chu, slurp… chu… slurrp…♡”
I extended my tongue and inserted it between her lips. Egun kept her mouth firmly closed, not opening it.
“Hehe…”
Only when I looked at her with yearning eyes did she smile and open the way. Her tongue, slippery with saliva, enveloped mine.
“Slurp, mmm, chu, slurrp…♡”
Her breasts pressed against my chest. My dick became erect at the soft sensation.
“Hmm…”
Feeling the hardness, Egun smiled and swayed her hips. Each time she moved back and forth, it rubbed against my dick, and the sound of wetness began to emerge.
Squish squish-
With excitement rising frantically, I raised my hands and firmly grasped Egun’s breasts.
“Mmm…♡ Slurp, smooch, smooch, slurp… slurrp…”
She clung to me even more. Wrapping her arms around my neck, she rubbed her body up and down, and each time she did, something hard rubbed against my palm.
“Haah…♡”
After kissing Egun for a while, we separated. If we continued any longer, it felt like we might have sex right here.
She moved down below my thighs. She moved her hand, fluttering her hair, and with each movement, her breasts also swayed.
I drank the water placed on the drawer. As the cold water entered, my excitement subsided a bit.
Turning my gaze to the side, I saw Inis watching us with both hands covering her mouth. Judging by her red ears, she must have been surprised too.
“Ahem.”
Embarrassment suddenly overwhelmed me. To show such a scene to a slave on the first day.
“Romon. You did as I instructed.”
Egun sat beside me. The bed went down slightly and then up. She looked at Inis, who was across from us.
“Yes. Because Lady Egun isn’t a devil who would do bad things to me. However, what I’m curious about is why you wanted Inis. That’s what I’d like to know.”
Gulp-
Inis swallowed as her eyes met with Egun’s. Now that they were facing each other, she seemed nervous.
The sticky air had somehow cooled off. I was newly reminded that Egun was a devil. It was that dramatic of a change.
“I have no interest in humans. But occasionally, there are those like you, Romon, who catch my eye. Do you know what that is?”
She asked, grabbing my chin. Red eyes. It was as if the universe was contained within them. The more I looked, the more I felt drawn in.
“I don’t know.”
“Those with a strong will to live. Especially those with powerful anger, I like.”
“A strong will to live and powerful anger…”
It was quite unexpected. I thought it was simply because we had black hair. Looking at the outward appearance, the only common point was the hair color.
“Humans easily feel emotions. And they evaporate just as easily. Especially, there are few who hold onto the emotion of anger for a long time. It has self-destructive properties. But you’re not like that.”
She poked my chest and continued.
“The flame inside you burns more vigorously the further it goes. That’s why the flame you handle is so powerful.”
“Ah…”
“I don’t know what the motivation is. It’s not that important to me either.”
The will to live.
And anger about it.
It’s probably all because I felt wronged.
I was suddenly pulled into this damn world. Moreover, I experienced all kinds of discrimination and persecution because of my black hair. How could I not be angry?
“Then is Inis the same?”
Egun’s gaze turned to Inis.
“Her will to live is faint. But her anger about it is strong. There’s only one case like this. When someone has been betrayed but lacks the power to do anything about it. Isn’t that right?”
“…Yes. That’s right.”
Inis, who had been quiet until now, nodded. My gaze naturally went to her legs. It seemed like there was a story there.
“So that’s why you wanted Inis. Because she has powerful anger.”
“Yes. Isn’t it interesting? The will to live and anger are in a relationship that supports each other. One needs will to be able to be angry. But your slave isn’t like that. That’s why I wanted you to purchase her. Such humans are rare.”
“Aren’t there many people who have someone to take revenge on but give up because they lack the power?”
“Not many. In such cases, they usually get angry for a moment and then forget. Revenge is ultimately something only the strong can do.”
“Why is that?”
“Because revenge can only be achieved by destroying oneself.”
I roughly understood what she meant.
Perhaps the reason why my anger is so strong is because there’s no one to take revenge on. I truly don’t know who to blame.
“So what do you plan to do now? Do you intend to contract with Inis?”
Egun smiled and kissed my forehead. For some reason, my body started to get hot again.
“Romon. You’re my first contractor. Maybe even my last. I don’t intend to have multiple contractors. But.”
“But?”
“I wanted her. And you’ll need her too. So I’ll specially bestow a favor.”
『Egun makes an offer to you.』
I was slightly startled by the window that suddenly appeared in front of me. Except when summoning Egun, it never appeared?
“Inis. I’ll bestow my blessing upon you.”
“…You’ll bestow your blessing on me?”
“Yes. With this blessing, you’ll be able to recover your body faster than ever. Perhaps even that leg can be healed.”
Inis’s eyes widened as if they might burst. She abruptly stood up from the bed, then limped and sat back down.
“I-is that true?”
“Yes. But you know that everything given by a devil comes with a price?”
“If I can just regain my leg and wield a sword again, I can offer anything. What do you want?”
The eyes of Inis, which had been lifeless, began to shine. The emotion reflected in her pupils was ‘hope’.
Egun wrapped her arms around my head. A soft sensation touched my face. The devil’s scent made my head dizzy.
“I’ll receive the payment from my contractor. A slave belongs to the master. If a slave incurs a debt, the master must take responsibility. But there are conditions for you too.”
“What are they?”
“First, you will take revenge on those who made you like this. And second, you will devote everything to your master.”
“…Everything?”
“Yes. Body and mind. And even your soul must be able to be burned for him. Can you do that?”
“That’s…”
Inis looked at me. The very act of hesitating seemed to make her feel sorry.
Rather, I was pleased that she didn’t answer immediately. It meant she was thinking deeply and seriously.
“You don’t have to answer right away. Once your revenge is complete, your heart will be made up.”
Egun turned her gaze back to me.
“Romon. Can you help Inis?”
『A Devil’s Quest has been generated.』
『Help with Inis’s rehabilitation, growth, and ultimately revenge. The reward you receive will vary depending on the outcome.』
I read the quest that appeared before my eyes. It was literally about helping Inis.
“If it’s a burden to you, you can refuse. After all, what’s most important to me is you.”
Egun stroked my head as if she was sorry for burdening me. It felt like she was giving me a choice.
Gulp-
I turned my head and looked at Inis. She was staring intensely at me. With her fists clenched on her knees, she waited for an answer.
A woman who had lost the will to live had, for the first time today, glimpsed hope. How could I refuse here?
“I will help Inis.”
At my answer, she let out a deep sigh of relief. Egun embraced my head.
“I knew you would answer that way. As much as you have strong anger, you have a strong heart for others.”
“Are you treating me like a child now?”
“Considering the years I’ve lived, all humans are no different from children?”
I was slightly angered by her words. I grabbed Egun’s hand and made her grab my crotch.
“What kind of child in the world would have something like this?”
Due to Egun’s continuous skinship, my dick was still hard. She raised the corners of her mouth and stroked my dick.
“I’m sorry. Indeed, no child would have such a large thing. I was mistaken.”
“As long as you understand.”
Egun’s hand firmly gripped my dick. She licked her lips and then slightly backed away.
“Regrettably, I must take my leave now. Call me again next time.”
She turned around. A red portal opened, and Egun disappeared beyond it.
As the portal closed and I was left alone with Inis, an awkward atmosphere enveloped us. Given the situation, it was inevitable.
“Um… shall we sleep for now…?”
“Y-yes, let’s do that.”
Inis slightly avoided my gaze and lay on the bed. I also lay down after extinguishing the candle illuminating the room.
“Master Romon. Thank you…”
In a room filled only with darkness. Just as I was about to fall asleep, she spoke. I smiled slightly and replied.
“If you know, do well.”
“…Yes.”
The night in the Labyrinth City grew increasingly deeper.
