I Give Up on Conquering the Heroines

37 – Episode 37. Cologne (7)

“······Ha. Haaa. Haaa.”

Rough breathing keeps coming out of Mijeong’s mouth.

Clearly not usual.

Every time I take a breath, my body shakes violently and I can’t calm down my excitement.

“Mijung?”

“······Wow.”

As soon as the name is briefly called, Mijeong’s head turns in this direction.

Animal-like breathing and an attitude as if he would attack at any moment.

There is not the slightest trace of reason in the particularly red glowing eyes.

The eyes seem to be obsessed with only instinct, that is, the most basic instinct, appetite.

I try to take a fighting stance in preparation for an unexpected situation, but my body doesn’t listen.

No matter how hard she tries to move due to exhaustion of her magical energy, the best thing she can do is lie on the floor and wiggle around.

“Hey, isn’t it? Huh?”

“······Eugene.”

“Yes, it’s me. Come to your senses.”

“······I want to eat.”

“Ah.”

Hwaak.

Mijeong jumps towards me at once.

Am I slowing down or is Mijeong getting faster?

Without any time to react, Mijeong attacked me by pushing my chest and immediately got on top of me.

“Hey! It’s the owner, the owner! Calm down!”

“······Keaaa.”

Mijung opens her mouth and drools.

Soon, Mi-jeong unbuttoned my shirt and opened the back of her neck, exposing it.

Then, holding onto my shoulders with both of her hands and holding her in place, I slowly brought my mouth to the nape of her neck.

f*cked.

I will die from being eaten by my slave whom I bought.

Ah. I guess I bought it because I got it for free.

Anyway, the moment I closed my eyes, feeling helpless that I couldn’t do anything in this situation.

“······Heeup. Hak. Chureup. Hangnyangnyang.”

Instead of the intense pain of the flesh being torn from my neck, I only felt the familiar crunching sensation.

It definitely feels like I’m biting harder than usual.

However, the sensation is far from the extreme pain I imagined.

I’m drooling because I can’t control my instincts.

As wild beasts usually do, they are seen biting the back of the neck and shaking their head back and forth to try to open the wound.

But the flaw was that they were not all that threatening without their sharp fangs.

“······Huh, ha-eup! Angnyang, omnyomnyomnyom.”

I couldn’t bite it to make a wound, so I started getting very sick.

Bite, suck, shake.

Mijeong desperately wants my neck, like a person who discovers a broken water pipe when she is on the verge of being thirsty.

At this point, I realize.

I guess I misunderstood.

Mijung wasn’t trying to eat me.

[Stats]

[Strength: 13(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Stamina: 15(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Magic power: 43(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Agility: 18(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

[Luck: 14(x5) *Guardian knight effect in effect]

Guardian Knight is still activating without any problem.

This means that Mijeong still perceives me as her ‘protector’.

I thought his instincts as a blood demon came back and he was trying to bite me to death…

“Hey. Get off.”

“······Sobbing.”

The moment I gave a soft command.

As if her sense of reason has returned a little, Mijeong’s biting stops.

Then she stands up, drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.

“Sit quietly. I’ll give you blood.”

“······Yes.”

Mijung answers with a look in her eyes that has returned a little bit of reason.

Then he moves out of the way from above me, kneels on the floor, and waits in a calm posture.

However, he is not very calm, he keeps shaking his butt and can’t stay still.

Saliva is still flowing from the corner of the mouth.

The eyes, which are half instinct and half reason, are focused on my arm where the blood vessels are prominent.

It’s like looking at a young puppy that just learned ‘wait’.

“Keuung······.”

Should I feed him when he is at the point of magical exhaustion?

After only a moment of coming to the sword, he takes out a dagger and cuts the vein in his elbow.

Then, dark red blood flows down my arm and wets the floor.

Mijeong couldn’t hold back and was about to rush in to catch the drop of blood that fell.

“I told you to be quiet!”

“······Ugh.”

After my yelling, I put my butt on the floor again.

In the meantime, blood drops fall to the floor again.

As if watching a piece of precious meat fall, Mijeong’s eyes gradually become filled with regret as she follows the falling drops of blood.

‘In this case, we need to provide proper education.’

Now that I think about it, this girl was extremely rude about her dining etiquette from the beginning.

You suddenly put my finger in your mouth without saying a word.

Why don’t you bite the back of my neck and kiss me?

After yelling at someone in the face, aren’t they going to forcibly attack him and try to eat him without a gun?

It feels a bit late, but I need to educate myself properly now.

It hasn’t become a big problem right now because I don’t have fangs and my instincts aren’t that strong, but there’s no way it’ll be like this in the future either.

It is right to prevent bigger problems before they arise.

“Now eat.”

“······Haeup!”

Thumping.

Mijeong runs up to me like a darting pace, bites my elbow, and continues to suck.

The eyes slowly look upward as if examining my thoughts, and suddenly they look more like the eyes of a baby with a bottle than those of a wild animal.

When you’re like this, you look like an angel again.

A deep sigh escapes me.

“······Gulp, haeup. Nyam.”

The ‘meal’ continued for a long time.

Usually, I would be satisfied after washing for about 1-2 minutes.

This time, I sucked for over 10 minutes.

It certainly seems like the amount of power consumed this time was quite large.

“Are you satisfied?”

“······Yes.”

Mijung wipes the saliva from the corner of her mouth and steps back.

As if something had happened, his face was as emotionless as always and had no desire.

I looked at him in bewilderment, but Mijeong turned her head and looked away.

“You were so excited. I didn’t know you were that strong.”

“······.”

I’m done feeding her, so I lie down on my back again and replenish her stamina.

However, Mijeong doesn’t respond to anything I say and just turns her back on me.

Just now, the source of Mijeong’s power, who was happily attacking Belphegor, was clearly magical power.

Because her opponent was Belphegor, each blow from her club seemed weak, but if an ordinary person had hit her, her skull would have been crushed and she would have died.

It’s perfect, except that after she uses up all of her power, she doesn’t even recognize the owner and goes on a rampage trying to suck blood.

Ah. Is that the biggest problem?

The reason why Mijeong suddenly awakened…

‘It must be that magic stone.’

A ring with a red magic stone.

The most likely theory is that she was able to use her magic thanks to that.

I think some confirmation is needed.

“Hey. Give me the ring.”

“······Yes.”

Mijeong obediently takes off her ring and hands it to me.

When I touch and examine the magic stone, I feel that a very slight, unfamiliar magical power is seeping into the crystal inside.

It must be Mijeong’s magic power.

This is now used.

Because magic stones are also consumables.

“Just like before, take the club and hit the rock.”

“······uuu! Like this! Crab?”

Soybeans.

Mijeong, even using her facial muscles, struggles to lift the wooden club and hit the rock.

However, the wooden club bounces as soon as it touches the rock, and Mi-jeong falls behind her due to the recoil.

“······Huh?”

He looks puzzled.

He was clearly strong earlier, but I wonder why he is like this.

She motions for her Mijeong to come back and then puts her ring on her finger.

“Now try again.”

“······Yes.”

Boom.

He lifted it easily with one hand, and the moment the wooden club exploded, the rock shattered.

As expected.

Mijung’s body originally possesses magical power, but it appears to be completely impossible to operate without the magic stone.

‘But where does magical power come from?’

A question arises here.

The original assumption is that magical power is generated from a living, beating heart.

Then where does the magic power of Mijeong, whose heart has stopped, come from?

“You come here. Suck my blood one more time.”

“······Yes.”

In fact, there is nothing that enters Mijeong from the outside other than my blood.

Definitely recharging magical power through my blood.

To prove the hypothesis, the moment I grabbed Mijeong’s lips and opened her mouth.

“Take a look and see if you have enough mana.”

“······Ahh. Magic power. It’s there.”

“What?”

It makes strange noises before even giving it blood.

It’s absurd, let’s take my hands off

“······Now. Inside, car.”

I won’t kick it again now.

Only then was the mystery solved.

I gently put my hand on Mijeong’s head and stroked it slowly.

Mijeong’s head bobs back and forth from side to side according to the movement of my hand.

“Now?”

“······The car is in the middle.”

“Now?”

“······Faster. The car is moving.”

“Now?”

“······It’s so fast. It’s so fast.”

Then, as you gradually increase the stroking speed, the speed at which the magic power is filled also increases.

This can’t be right.

Physical contact, not my blood, was the means of charging magical power.

Blood is merely for replenishing energy, and it appears that magical power was charged as the body came into contact with the body during the process of sucking blood.

Some bastard created these settings.

What is certain is that that bastard is clearly a fetishist.

“Still, it’s quite comfortable. You’re a slave who becomes stronger just by stroking the head. But how much have you gotten so far?”

“······0.1%, Approximately.”

“What…?”

I need to stroke it like this 999 more times to fully charge it.

My vision becomes blurry.

“Take a short walk…”

“Ma’am. It’s dangerous outside.”

“You’re not feeling well, so please stay inside.”

“······.”

A lot of time has passed.

It has already been two hours since Lawrence and Eugene left the mansion.

But there is still no news.

An ominous energy is slowly coming over me, but there is nothing I can do.

I just quietly wait in my room.

I pray endlessly for his victory.

“What? Who dies?”

“The head of the family… Came back after being cut into pieces…?”

“You damn mercenary!”

The first floor was slowly becoming noisy.

It was only then that I noticed it.

Eujin won.

And then Lawrence died.

“What’s going on?”

“Madam…”

No one binds me now.

Even if you open the door and come out, no one can stop you.

Holding on to your skirt, your steps going down the stairs gradually become faster.

I don’t know if I can hide the joy that is written on my face.

But soon he notices something strange and his steps slow down.

‘Then what about Eugene?’

The deal was that Eugene would kill Lawrence, and I would help Eugene later.

But I never once wondered about ‘how’ to kill.

How on earth did they plan to kill the mayor of Cologne and not get caught?

‘Ah.’

I realized it quickly.

Eujin had no intention of not being caught from the beginning.

He was planning to kill Lawrence proudly and get caught.

There is no other way to explain it.

‘For me…?’

Trug. Chin.

The moment I came down the stairs.

After understanding everything, my heart sinks.

Eujin decided to sacrifice himself for me.

To save me.

To liberate me.

“This is the core of the dungeon. This is the corpse of your matriarch.”

“Oh my god! What’s going on? Oh my, matriarch! Oh my!”

“You murderer! Call the police! Police!”

“There’s no need to do that. I’ve already called the vicar.”

The yard is noisy.

In the middle of the crowd of people, Eugene’s calm and gentle voice is heard.

After committing all of this, you choose to get caught instead of running away.

Could this be for me too?

Did I get caught on purpose because I was afraid that I would be suspected if the culprit was not caught?

“Yu······.”

I am choking and my voice cannot come out.

That’s right. This name was a secret.

I swallow the name back in my throat and move forward.

What should I say to a man who gave up everything for me?

How should I express my gratitude?

I’ve never thought of something like this before, and it makes me dizzy.

“Vicar! You’re here! Please catch this bastard quickly!”

“He is a heinous man! He is the man who cut Mayor Brigham into pieces!”

“Please be quiet. There is something I need to check first.”

The crowd suddenly becomes quiet.

The parish priest walks in between them and opens the blood-covered sack in the center.

What appeared inside was a corpse cut into pieces.

Even the severed head has already been torn so badly that its face is unrecognizable.

“uuux!”

“Damn you! How can you treat someone who even treated you to dinner!”

People here and there are nauseating, grabbing Eugene by the collar and shouting.

In the meantime, Eugene just stands still.

Soon the parish priest, who had been touching his body here and there, parted his lips.

“I’m sure. There are traces of demonic possession.”

“Yes? Bishop. What is that…?”

“I’m on my way after receiving a mercenary’s request for identification. They say Mayor Lawrence Brigham was possessed by a devil and had to fight in the dungeon. They say he defeated the devil after a struggle, but it seems to be true. No see. “

“······.”

No one can easily open their mouth.

The hands that were holding Eugene’s collar fall one by one.

It was only then that I fully grasped the situation.

It’s not that Eugene had no thoughts.

He knew everything from the beginning.

When I looked at him with a sense of awe, I saw that he was also looking straight at me.

“······.”

At the moment I was wondering what it meant.

He notices that he is not the only one looking at me.

Everyone’s eyes are now on me.

The parish priest slightly bows his head to me and asks softly.

“Well then, Deputy Count. Is there anything you want to say?”

“Ah…”

The name has changed.

Acting Count.

Really, Lawrence is dead.

I have officially replaced the count.

When I realized that, the first thing that arose was a feeling of anger.

Deacon. Coachman. Chief maid. Maid. Chef. Article······.

Everything you see is just a disgusting face.

These humans.

Even though I asked for help, he never once pretended to listen.

Everyone just watched.

He pretends to be Lawrence’s faithful dog and locks me in the room even when he is not around.

The letter was stolen and censored.

Pretend not to hear my screams…

It’s all in one piece.

They are all the same.

“As the acting earl, I hereby order that all employees of the mansion are fired.”

“Yes, ma’am. Are you kidding?”

“You can’t do this all of a sudden, ma’am! You’re not going to make us all sit on the street…”

“And I will hand them all over to the Heresy Inquisition. Since they are close associates of someone who is in collusion with the devil, there may be another liaison. Bishop, you can do whatever you want with them now.”

“Yes, Deputy Count. Thank you for your cooperation.”

“Ma’am?! What do you mean?”

“Please save me!”

“······.”

The Paladins approached and surrounded the employees.

They were embarrassed and belatedly realized their situation and started to kneel down and pray, but it was already too late.

Revenge has only just begun.
