Julia was angry. She genuinely felt very upset.
As soon as she woke up, there was a huge monster under herself. Even if she had really put her heart out and simply let it pass—but still, in actual fact, that was absolutely not possible since right after that, she had been subjected to all sorts of shameful things and she eventually made a mess out of herself too.
After the pleasure subsided and she finally came to her senses, she could see Bael’s drenched body and hair as well as her own lower body part, which had utterly made Julia feel like she really wanted to die at that moment.
But she couldn’t have simply died, so the anger went straight to Bael instead.
“How could you even do that to a person who’s asleep? Even a beast wouldn’t have done that at all!”
On the other hand, if only Julia had just known that she would still be really upset once Bael showed no signs of remorse at all even while listening to her complaints. Rather, she merely appeared like a little rabbit with her eyes wide open along with those puffed out cheeks of hers, which eventually made him laugh.
Moreover, in the eyes of that so-called ‘worse than a beast’, a crouching naked rabbit was truly a very appetizing prey indeed.
Of course, Julia, who hadn’t been aware of any of that, was still busy venting out her anger. From her own point of view, getting woken up right in the middle of the night by such a terrifying pillar—the expression of which she truly came back to life straight after dying was just utterly right.
“You already know that having skin contact with me gives—gives me such a strange cra, craving so then, you should have just let me go!”
She always blushed and stammered her words when they were those that related to that kind of an affair. Still, compared to when she had first fallen into the Demon Realm, it was actually a great improvement instead. At that time, she couldn’t even raise her head properly, let alone for her to speak up an opinion like this.
Julia, who had just about to get really angry at her newfound emotion, could suddenly feel that something was playfully touching her cheek. Her eyes immediately widened in response.
“And how could you even tease me at a time like this!”
“…?”
As he met with her gaze, Bael instantly looked half-bewildered. Yet he was simply leaning on his elbow while he appeared to be silently appreciating Julia’s chatter. And Julia had noticed that as well.
Then, who was the real culprit? Just as Julia, who was dumbfounded, opened her mouth in a daze, the thing that had tickled her face before shifted right in front of her eyes. The culprit was none other than a fluffy white pollen.
Julia instantly thought that this was actually a wonderful timing.
“Why is this here…”
When Julia looked downwards at the pollen, the surrounding scenery suddenly came into her line of sight. Stars were all shining brightly amidst the pitch-black night sky. Nevertheless, that wasn’t what had really caught her attention. The entire field of flowers on which they had been lying about was glistening with a silver light.
Julia softly tapped on the petals that bloomed right in front of her. Then, the stamens trembled as they were tickled before emitting even more light. She opened her eyes wide as she had forgotten all about her anger just now.
“Demon King, what is this?”
“……some luminous flowers.”
“I’ve never seen such a pretty sight ever since I was born. I didn’t even notice when it had gotten so bright, but it must have been a flower that could only bloom at night. How can it shine so beautifully like this?”
She gently caressed the flower petals that were already in full bloom before raising her head. The entire world—right from one end to another—was all covered in those luminous flowers.
Amidst the murky darkness, countless lights were swaying in the wind. It was so beautiful that Julia’s eyes became unknowingly blurry.
She didn’t have to peek through those dusty windows any longer. She also felt like she had already been given something far much better in exchange for that. In fact, she had a hunch that she would never be able to forget this sight that was currently unfolding before her eyes even until the day she would soon die.
“Huuff—I tend to cry a lot, but perhaps it was because I had been so surprised. My tears have all dried up.”
“It must have been due to the fact that you cried too much earlier.”
“Shut up.”
Julia quickly muttered with a strange face that was neither laughing nor crying. She sat with her back against Bael as she was just about to enjoy the scenery when a red light had flashed behind her all of a sudden. Then, before she could even turn her head, Bael had already approached.
The long hair that was covering Julia’s pure white nape was slid off and a necklace with a jewel as red as her own blood had been placed instead.
“Always carry it with you.”
“What is this?”
“A crystal ball that contains my magic.”
“Why are you giving this to me…”
“You’d better accept it gently before you could even change your mind.”
Julia looked down at the jewel that was dancing around her chest. It was bijou in size, but when she looked at it closely, there had been a red energy that kept on squirming inside, albeit slowly. She carefully raised her gaze and faced Bael in return. After all, this jewel had resembled those of his own pupils.

‘I only received the necklace, but why are the flowers……?’
Julia, who widened her eyes at an instant, proceeded to stare at it. In Bael’s hand, there was a shining flower that could be seen. He continued to tuck it into Julia’s ear with a thoughtless face. Then, he naturally brushed her ear and thanks to that, the innocent woman had her body shrank ever so slightly.
