Chapter 45 - Volume 3 (1/2)
Volume 3, Chapter 15: Dark Beast
“Yurushia-sama!”
After being momentarily dumbfounded, but the attendants came to their senses, dragging their wounded bodies over to Yurushia’s fallen form.
However,
“Wait, has she really returned…?”
“………”
As Noa’s spoke, Nia, who had repeatedly taken on attacks, quickly stopped her movement.
In her hand was the sword that had been shattered by 【Golden Beast] leaving only the handle, and Nia wasn’t sure how many more serious attacks she could take.
“……It’s fine.”
While regenerating her left arm and restoring her maid outfit from her hair, Tina calmly smiled at the twin Demons.
“And why is that…?”
Noa wanted to rush up to Yurushia immediately. However, at the same time, since he had taken up the role of administering the servants from her, their Mistress, he was responsible for organising everyone so that they could get their Mistress back.
At Noa’s question, Tina puffed up her chest with a *fufun*.
“Regarding Yurushia-sama, everything from her preferred food to her health and even the growth of her chest measurements have been perfectly grasped with these eyes and this nose… I would understand more if I could lick her, but even without I am sure that she has completely returned.”
As Tina said this in a matter-of-fact manner with a self-satisfied look, Noa and Nia’s wore delicate expressions.
Even though they were Demons, they drew back slightly.
“……is that so.”
First of all, he didn’t need to understand that. There shouldn’t be a problem if it’s the pervert’s (Tina’s) words.
“Yurushia-sama, is merely sleeping.”
When the three looked back towards the voice, Fannie was already kneeling down next to Yurushia with without her guard up, smiling in satisfaction while listening to her making sleeping noises.
The ancient castle on the shores of the lake had mostly collapsed, and the light from the sun poured through the holes.
“Tina. Can you make Yurushia-sama some clothing?”
Although she was sleeping, it just wouldn’t do to leave their Mistress naked outdoors. The dress that Yurushia had been wearing was buried under the rubble, so even if they could find it, it wouldn’t do to put it on.
“Well, of course I can do it.”
As Nia covered Yurushia with her cloak, Tina, who was looking at Yurushia’s bare skin and feet with desire, replied to Noa a little too fast.
“Ah~, I can help~”
“…Well then, please do so then Fannie.”
Tina and Fannie knelt down next to their sleeping Mistress, and poured magic power into their hair, stitching Yurushia’s new dress onto her.
Noa, as a [Male-type], wasn’t allowed to go near their Mistress while her skin was still exposed. As Nia, who wasn’t allowed to help make the dress because of her clumsiness, watched on enviously, she suddenly raised a question.
“Why is the dress black even though Tina’s hair is golden?”
“……I don’t know.”
She had the thought that she was [Black-hearted], but was kind enough not to mention it outloud.
“How strange.”
As Fannie muttered so, a part of her hair was made into beautiful silver threads, and a few minutes passed while it decorated the black dress, after which the dress was finished.

“……Muu”
When I woke up, all I saw was the sprawling blue sky and the happy faces of my attendants.
“Yurushia-sama”
“Mistress, are you alright?”
“…… I, why was I asleep…?”
The attendants told me about the events that happened after I lost consciousness.
I didn’t think that the poison would work so well on my human half, but there was no way that I should have returned to my Demon form (cat) just because of that…
I think I was able to revert back because I poured out all the magic of my human half to save everyone from the poison, so that’s why I transformed completely into a Demon.
“By the way, what happened to the rest of the humans?”
“Yes, Roderick-sama, Noel-sama, and your sisters are all sleeping by the lake away from the castle. Vio and the maids, along with your knight-samas were all drugged and sleeping but we woke them after moving everyone there. Ater explaining the circumstances, we requested for Vio to help detoxify the Highnessess.”
“I see… Ah? What about the Hero?”
I had completely forgotten, but since I suddenly remembered, I asked.
“Just in case, we moved them along with the rest…… Is that bad?”
“No… ah, well.”
As Nia reported what happened while I was out, as I answered properly, I looked over at the destroyed castle.
Maybe those people died just for getting involved. I don’t feel sad about it, though.
I wonder if Vio is worried… I don’t know the details of what happened, so I shouldn’t stay around here now, since the rest of them are working so hard.
Before I knew it, my clothes had changed to a black and silver dress. They’re so comfortable that it’s scary.
“Still, even though I ate Duke Kapell’s soul, I don’t remember its taste…”
What a waste. It was in a great state, matured and ripe.
As I muttered, Noa grinned with a Demonic smile.
“There’s no problem. When Nia took Yurushia-sama’s attack, although it didn’t take in everything, a part of the magic power and the soul was recovered. I will be using Duke Kapell’s soul for tonight’s dinner.”
“Ohh~”
As expected of Noa. Such meticulous work. But……
“Nia, let me see your sword.”
“…ulp”
Since they said that Nia had stopped it, she probably took the attack from the Demon (cat) with her sword. Did she think that I would get mad at her because the sword got broken? …… Even though I’m such a gentle Master.
“Noa. Please repair the sword with my magic power and Kapell’s soul.”
“……Is that really alright?”
“Yep”
Even I have things that I consider more important than my own appetite.
“It is repaired.”
“So fast.”
He’s fast as always. I didn’t manage to see him repair it this time either.
Although, the Demon’s sword now…… what the heck’s this? Even though the sword was previously pitch-black, now it’s shiny gold and leaves sparkly gold particles behind with every swing.
…… How flashy.
“Nia…… here you are”
“Wow… thank you, thank you! Yurushia-sama~”
I think that it’s too flashy, but Nia seemed very pleased.
Nia held the sword in front of her and gave a test swing towards the rubble of the castle,
“[Nya]”
………haa?
As Nia continued to swing the Demon Blade,
“[Nya]” “[Nya]” “[Nya]”
With every swing a [Sound Effect] was made, as the stone rubble split like pudding.
” ” ” “………” ” ” ”
Why did it turn out like this…?
Is it my fault? Is it because of my magic power? Also, am I imagining it, but is that my [Voice]?
“A~ma~zing, Yurushia-sama, this, this is amazingly wonderful~”
“Nonononononono, hold on”
I put a stop to Nia’s happy fantasizing.
“I will try to fix it, so hand it back to me for a bit. …’kay?”
“Eehh~~…”
Nia hugged her Demon Blade and refused, shaking her head with tears in her eyes. …Ku. Is she pleased to be disobeying me……?
After that, I made a new Demon sword by using a sword I found in the castle and infusing it with my magic power along with Holy Magic to form an ordinary [Golden Demon Blade], but Nia never exchanged the original for it…… My sense of shame is being put to the test.
“Yurushia-sama… something’s coming.”
“…eh?”
Fannie gave a sketchy warning with a laid-back tone.
I understood that her words were a [Warning] because as she said it, her face changed into her Harlequin mask.
Fannie’s perception is the best among us. Incidentally, mine is almost nonexistent… Since she didn’t delay at all in assuming a battle form, the other attendants instantly transformed back into the Demon forms.
Incubus. Succubus. Gorgon. Nightmare.
Those were the horrifically chuunibyou [Settings] that I had made, but was quite the spectacle when they were lined up seriously like this.
But… these children, why were their bodies also growing like mine? I wonder if they were in sync with me.
“……!?”
I finally felt [Something]. ……No, it’s clearly not just [Something]. Violent and rough, it’s the presence of a [Big Shot]………
“[GuaoOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!]”
A tempest blew, and the lake waters roiled as the roar of a huge beast echoed.
“[I’ve finally found you! Golden beast!!!!]”
As expected, it was 【Him]……… My benefactor from the demon world and owner.
Demon Beast… 【Dark Beast].
“H-hiya~ Long time no see~”
