There Is No Spring in the Stolen Field

8. first

I thought over Luna’s words, ‘It’s different for me to be the first one’.

What does this mean?

Although the concept of “first” could actually be applied to many places,

Judging from her jealousy and tears just a moment ago, that’s probably it.

And I asked for confirmation.

“Luna. Another beginning… what is it by any chance…?”

I acted like I really didn’t know and asked her.

She whispered, looking at me with still swollen eyes.

“…thing.”

“what?”

“…thing!”

I couldn’t hear Luna because she muttered to herself.

“Sorry. Just say it again.”

Actually, I guessed it, but I wanted to hear something explicit.

I thought that making Luna say embarrassing things is probably the most thrilling luxury I enjoy in the world of demons.

Luna blushed and lowered her head.

“Dog star…”

“huh?”

“You were too mean.”

At that moment, I lost my balance and fell to my knees on the floor.

It was a feeling I never got used to, no matter how many times I experienced it.

For my body to go against my will, it was a great sense of deprivation.

Luna, who had become polite, looked down at me again with an arrogant expression.

“Sirius. I won’t forgive you.”

…you should be kidding me in moderation.

“Thanks to your magic… I… Honestly, I can’t judge properly…? Ha… But thinking about it again… It’s so disgusting…”

I was thinking of an excuse while rolling my head hard, thinking that I had been exposed to what I knew but pretended not to know.

Wouldn’t it be okay if I said it was because it was so cute?

The words that came out of her mouth were a completely different story.

“Tell me the truth about what you did with the dragon right now. Everything I remember. Talk to me.”

Tell me all about what you did with Seria?

I met her when I was about 5 years old. The incident happened in the summer of 17 years old. 12 years was a long time.

“Uh… even if you say that… there’s too much to say…”

I didn’t know what to say, so I conveyed my honest feelings.

I put on a troubled expression, but seeing her expression made it twice as difficult.

“Ah~ There are so many things that I can’t even say in words~ Hmmm~ Yes~ That’s right~”

Ah… this isn’t it… Ah…

I don’t know why I make such a mistake today.

I was the one who became crying.

Upon hearing that I had awakened, Master came to visit me.

Still, it seems that the disciple was worried when he said that he had fallen and then got back up.

From her point of view, I was like a very fragile toy.

Master entered my room and stroked my chin as she saw Luna who hadn’t left my room.

“…It seems like we’ve become quite special. You guys”

Master must have clearly seen through the magic that passed between us.

However, Master was completely laissez-faire.

She said the same thing on the first day she coached us.

“I’m not involved in anything you do with the skills you’ve learned from me. However, you stop the hero. Just remember that you have an obligation to cooperate with this one.”

And about that common goal, Luna and I always agreed, although the circumstances were different.

But I didn’t think that Master had any affection for us.

For a very long time, Master has only reigned as the overwhelming master of magic, and Luna is the number one disciple. I’m number 2. was about

You don’t express it that much, but I thought that you think it’s special in your own way.

“So… how are you feeling? Sirius.”

As soon as Master arrived, I started talking about Luda, so I forgot for a moment that I was a patient.

“Uh… I think it’s fine. There’s nothing particularly uncomfortable about it.”

Rather, it was a feeling that was overflowing with power thanks to magic power.

Certainly, it felt like it wouldn’t be too difficult to fire basic magic as much as 3 times the normal power.

“It’s fortunate. You’ve reached a level where you can survive even after receiving the demon lord’s blood.”

“Is that so?”

“It’s half of Luna’s blood, but if it were a normal human, it’s already dead.”

…Did Luna know about that fact and stick her finger in my mouth?

Master hummed a song, probably proud of the student’s achievement.

And she clapped as if she had suddenly remembered something.

“It’s Sirius.”

“Yes, Master.”

“Do you know what the devil’s unique magic is?”

It’s the devil’s own magic… I’ve never been curious about it because I was busy training, but after hearing it, I was quite curious.

“What is it?”

Come to think of it, unique magic is classified. Master.

No matter how you look at it, it’s a leak of demon secrets, can you afford it? Are you the devil?

Curious about the contents, I nodded my head.

“The saying that the Demon King is the strongest being among the demons is in some ways correct, and in some ways it is wrong.”

Luna silently looked at Master without saying anything.

“Only with pure combat ability, I am superior to the Demon Lord. I can affirm it.”

Doesn’t that mean that Master should be in the position of the Demon King?

“The Demon King’s unique magic… is to control the lives of all demons who use magic.”

Hmm… the Asmodian-limited invincible ability was correct.

If it was a unique magic like that, it didn’t mean anything whether it was good or bad in magic or combat.

I also understood why Master was number two.

“I see. I think it’s a demon king-sama’s chauvinistic magic.”

I chimed in, praising his fraudulent abilities.

Master answered me with a puzzled look at my words.

“Now I wanted to warn you that you are also included. Disciple.”

yes? me too?

And I keep forgetting, but now this power that has naturally settled in my body. mana.

Does that mean that my body will be reduced to powder with just one finger snap from Maou-sama?

chills down the spine

Ayy… Of course, I’ve never met the Demon King, and he can’t possibly be interested in a little thing like me…

Luna caught my eye.

There is. yes. don’t have hahahaha.

Master chatted with us for about 30 minutes before leaving.

In fact, I couldn’t even remember what he was talking about.

I… finger snap… one shot… die…

That sentence never left my head.

It was recently that I was really impressed with my achievements obtained through painstaking efforts, but I couldn’t be so lethargic.

He became so strong that no one looked down on him, but it seemed meaningless.

Do all demons live with this kind of heart?

Suddenly, the demons were trying to pity me.

Again, only Luna and I were left in my room.

“Dog star.”

“huh?”

“are you okay?”

Looking at me with a bad complexion, Luna asked as if she was worried.

Until Master came, even though I only said nasty things, Luna cared about me.

I’m not sure if it was because of my original magic or if it was because of my unique magic.

Thanks. I am so grateful to Luna.

“Luna.”

I raised my voice and called her name.

“Yes…?”

She looked slightly nervous at my tone, which was different from usual.

“What are you talking about?”

“What words?”

“Ask for the first time.”

The silence that comes for a moment.

The sound of drool running down her throat could be heard.

She took a deep breath, closed and opened her eyes for a moment, then asked me with clear eyes.

“Sirius. What do you think of me?”

I asked the question… Why are you asking me a question of extreme difficulty?

What do you think of Luna?

Before the unique magic incident, it was not a difficult question.

My partner who is capable and quite friendly. It was possible to sort it out at this level.

But after the incident, it was my honest impression that I didn’t know.

Even when I thought that Luna, who expressed her affection for me as much as she could, was cute and lovable.

My blood pressure rose when I thought of the unconstrained destruction of my ceria extraction operation.

One day, I will no longer be human, and there will be few people who will applaud me.

Also, every time she seduces me, I almost get sloppy, but the suppressor in my heart, Seria, prevents me from crossing the line.

But one thing was certain.

“…i like you.”

This was the truth, not a speck of lies.

I love you more than anyone in the world. I don’t know what to say, but I liked her completely the way she was.

And I thought this was a good enough answer.

I thought it was a good answer from Luna’s point of view, but I didn’t know why her expression was still serious.

Luna paused for a moment before asking another question.

“Better than him?”

…I feel like my mouth is burning all day today

Better than Seria…? Luna…?

I felt my inner scales sway.

This was actually a match that won Seria, but Luna’s recent move was enough to break my heart.

Lying in front of her must be bad manners.

The longer I hesitated, the longer Luna’s expression changed.

He looks like he’s been hurt, his face turns red, and he’s not sure what he’s imagining all by himself.

It didn’t look that good.

Gathering my thoughts, I walked in front of her.

As if not expecting me to come, Luna looked at me with a frightened expression.

Maybe I was afraid to choose Seria.

But… I didn’t mean to. because

“Sirius… I’ll just make it something that didn’t exist…. Eup…!”

…You were the first one who wished it was me.
