“Faith! Your father!” Adel burst into my room and yelled.
I quickly jumped up from my bed with a worried expression as I hurriedly asked: “What happened?”
“He woke up. He is asking for you.” Adel replied while grabbing my hand and dragging to my parents’ room.
I walked in to see my mother at his side, hugging his waist. My father was sitting up, but he still looked very weak. “Father!”
“Faith….” My father looked at and smiled. “Thank you….”
“You idiot!” I yelled out. “How could you dive into a dungeon by yourself!? What if you died!? What if….”
I couldn’t hold back my tears as I joined my mother in hugging him. I was just so happy he was awake and that he was alive and well. But it still did not an I was done scolding him. “Ahem… Master, I know you are happy, but I suggest you ask him what happened.” Diablo’s voice entered my ears. I looked up and blushed slightly as I rembered what I had done before. Diablo also seed to have blushed as he averted his eyes. But I still nodded and sat up.
“Father, what happened? How did you end up in the dungeon?” I asked.
“It was strange. I was perfectly fine until I stepped into the city. As I did, the mana in my body began to be sucked out without any resistance. I had to employ a technique my grandfather taught to protect what little I had left. But I ended up collapsing. The next ti I ca too, I was chained to a wall. I have no idea why.” My father answered. But I had a few guesses.
“I think they thought you were a demon. Anyone with mana seems to be a demon to those people. If I am correct, the planet that that kingdom cos from probably had two or more races. Demons and humans, at the minimum. And the human population set up such a barrier to keep the capital safe in case of a demon invasion. Of course, this is just an assumption, and that could have just been the final floor, and the king is like the final boss.” I replied. Everything I said was just speculation. There can be many number of reasons why that barrier was in place. But these reasons seed the most sound.
“No more dungeon talk. Your father will never enter a dungeon again!” My mother’s voice was strict, with no room for argunt.
“You are right…. We will give you two ti alone. Father, you need to rest for the next year and take in the mana around you to regain your strength.” I said as I stood up and grabbed Diablo’s arm before he could run away.
“Alright, I will listen to you.” My father replied with a smile. I nodded and dragged Diablo out of the room to mine once more and closed the door on the two girls who were following.
“Master….” Diablo’s voice sounded behind .
I turned and bowed my head. “I am sorry about earlier. I should not have done that out of the blue like that. I wanted to know how it felt to kiss a guy, and you were the only one who ca to mind when I thought about kissing soone. Not to ntion you’re handso, so my first kiss with a guy was with you….”
I scratched my head. I felt like I was kind of making excuses even though it was the truth. “So anyway, I am sorry….”
“Master, it is fine. It was just unexpected, and it was also my first…. It’s not like I hated it either…. It’s just… Never mind… Just know it is fine.” Diablo replied, his ears going red. I couldn’t help but blush as well.
“Ahem….” I cleared my throat and smiled at Diablo. “We got people listening in, so if you do not want to be bombarded with questions, it’s best if you escape first. But just know, I also did not hate it. It felt nice….”
Diablo scratched his head before patting on the top of mine and disappearing. I smiled and turned and opened the door to have three girls fall on the floor, looking up at with aggrieved expressions. “Faith, you said you would help !” Iena was the first to speak.
I sighed and knelt down, and wiped the tears from her eyes. “You heard everything?”
“Mm….” Iena replied, nodding her head.
“It was just sothing that happened.” I really did not know my own feelings, and I was just doing it out of wanting to know how it felt. I guess I should have thought it through more, but to be honest, if it was not Diablo, I wouldn’t have been able to do it.
“But…” Iena looked really sad. I pulled her close and looked her in the eye before pushing my lips against hers. “There now, I kissed you too. So it’s like you had an indirect kiss with Diablo.”
Iena’s eyes went wide, and her cheeks turned red. Adel and Sophie both looked at with wide eyes. “Faith… You! You!”
“Hmmm? Didn’t you two do the sa to ? You two were the ones who turned into a kissing monster!” I said jokingly as I helped Iena up. Iena was blushing like crazy as she kept looking at and looking away. Is it just , or are all demons cute when you kiss them?
“You!” Adel stomped her feet and jumped on , knocking over, with Sophie following right after her. They both took a cheek and kissed it.
“Alright, let up!” I said as I pried them both off. “I am not one hundred percent sure about my own feelings. But… I already promised Sophie I would really think about it now. And I also do not wish to worry my mother.”
“You really an it!?” Both Sophie and Adel asked at the sa ti. Their eyes were beginning to brim with tears.
I smiled and reached out to the girls, taking one of their hands into mine, and nodded my head. “I am still young and am not the best at relationship things, but I think as we slowly walk down this path, we will probably all end up as one big happy family. But I promise you I will not make you wait long before I give you my final answer. The sa for you, Iena. ” I turned to Iena and looked at her. She lowered her head and gave a slight nod. If sothing really did form between Diablo and , then I would feel bad for Iena as I know she likes him. So the only way to rectify it would be to bring her into the family? Wait, why does this sound like sothing a harem protagonist would do!?
