I spoke in a feeble voice.

Without my angel, I will die. Give him back.

What if your angel remembers this entire conversation?

Uh, will he remember everything?

I tried to recall the things I had said to Leraze until now. As I traced through my memories, the devil looked at me pitifully and answered.

No.

Ehhh, youre confusing me.

This isnt some form of double personality.

I concluded that any further conversation with him was a waste of time. I retorted, If Felix isnt here, I have nothing to do with the devil then, and turned my back without hesitation.

Hey, wait a minute.

Then Leraze grabbed the hem of my robe and pulled it with a swish. I helplessly lost my balance as an inanimate force that was hard to perceive pulled me.

I fell onto the bed where he laid and also inadvertently landed in his arms.

I glowered at Leraze without saying a word. I couldnt understand how they could be so different despite sharing the same body. There wasnt even a single speck of similarity.

The devil who brought this upon himself seemed considerably embarrassed. He alternately looked at his hands and me in his arms and asked in disbelief.

Why did you get dragged over like this?

Then should I merely stand there and let my clothes rip?

Due to this devils bastard, it didnt seem long before I would collapse and die from my blood pressure.

Still, I, a good-natured person with deep compassion, decided to let go of this rudeness. He probably didnt realize how weak humans were since he had been trapped in a bow all his life.

Thats why hes like that.

I let Lerazes mumbling go in one ear and out the other as I tried to get back up.

He hurriedly grabbed my arm.

It was undeniably less forceful than before, but it was still a rude touch that didnt even have the slightest bit of consideration.

Hell wake up soon. A devils deal is accurate.

Like a whimpering dog who wanted to say something, he seemed like he was desperately trying to convey that message.

I couldnt understand why he acted like this and had to pull me over only to say such simple words.

Was he trying to reassure me? No, he was probably merely trying to lower my guard.

Huh, I see.

I nodded lightly, then pointed my finger at my forearm, which was caught by his hand, and asked dryly, But can you let go of this?

Although devils might like to grab others by force, humans found it quite unpleasant. As I explained that, Lerazes brows furrowed.

I pressed my fingers on his forehead to prevent wrinkles from forming on Felixs pretty face.

Of course, even if he had wrinkles or became a grandfather, Felix would still be beautiful.

Lerazes eyelashes trembled as if my touch tickled him, and then he grabbed my hand.

With both hands unintentionally bound, I furrowed my brows as he did before.

You touch me too freely.

.

You only touch me without hesitation.

Unquestionably, there was something like that.

As much as Felix cherished me, I cherished him too, so I couldnt help but hesitate to touch him since I didnt want to hurt him or give him a hard time.

Also, if I touched him just a little bit, my heart would beat wildly.

However, it became easier to touch him after Leraze opened his eyes.

A man who only looked like Felix but meant nothing to me. He wasnt even a human being.

These unusual conditions combined made Leraze become the first man I could touch and treat recklessly. I even grabbed him by the collar.

But was the devil even considered a man? I heard that there was a gender distinction like humans, but it was a different species.

Im preventing Leraze from doing stupid things with Felixs body. Im responsible for taking care of him while hes unconscious. I have to take care of your meals too.

The devil had been living as an inanimate bow, so he didnt even know how to eat correctly. Due to his poor living ability, I had to take care of everything from one to ten.

Still, since it was Felixs body, I was willing to take care of it without any hesitation. The devil naturally accepted my assistance as well.

That damn devil.

By the way, I couldnt point it out before because I was too busy, but youre not actually Leraze, right?

I was separated from Leraze, but Im still Leraze.

But I dont think it would be considered the same thing if it was separated from the body.

He lost his temper and said that whatever his name was, it would suit him.

Call me the fragment of Leraze!

Thats too long. Ill call you Larry for convenience.

Of course, I desperately hoped that I wouldnt see this devil anymore, but since Felix hadnt woken up today, I figured I would have to deal with him for a few more days.

Is that all right?

If I kept calling such a dull-witted entity Leraze, I might inadvertently start to underestimate the complete devil.

What if I accidentally come across the original, complete devil later down the track and let down my guard?

When I asked that while holding such needless worries, the devil stared at me with a blank expression on his face. He loosened his firm grip on me that had bound me like chains.

Thats strange.

What?

Is it because you swallowed a quarter of his soul?

I asked as I pulled a strand of silver hair off Larrys cheek. Then as if his cheek felt itchy, he rubbed his cheek with the palm of his hand and spoke.

You seem to like Felixs body a lot. Perhaps I should just wait and see.

He was planning to do something.

I glanced at him with the eyes of an enemy.

This damn devil was only seeking a chance to devour Felix at once.

If it werent for Felixs body. I started to imagine something cruel in my mind.

He muttered to himself in a barely audible voice, Why are you so upset.?

How should I react if I faced the man who tried to bury me alive again?

After agonizing for a moment, I mercilessly smacked Ilypia on the back of the head as I had eagerly longed for before.

Muhaha, Ive been waiting for this!

The spirit, who was suddenly beaten up, murderously glared at me and bared his teeth, but he couldnt attack me directly. It was because Claudia was watching him like a hawk.

After Ilypia, who resembled the King of Beasts, made a contract with Claudia, he became a dog on a leash.

But now that I thought about it, I realized that there was no such thing since the beginning.

At that time, the power of the spirit itself was strong enough to crush you by intimidation, but if you looked closely, he was more like a wounded animal than a beast.

His wounds hurt so much that he mindlessly gnashed his teeth everywhere.

Anyway, the spirit still had a rebellious look on his face, but at least he was relatively obedient to Claudia.

Having gained strong support, I clung to Claudias side with a smug smile.

After so much suffering, I couldnt simply end it so neatly with just a single blow on the back of the head.

.If you thought that was the end, youre wrong. Ill torment you until I get tired of it.

My desire for revenge was strong. I had no intention of leaving that spirit at ease as it was.

Felix was still unconscious because of that spirit. He didnt just faint, he had a quarter of his soul ripped out by the devil, so it would be odd for him to remain unscathed.

Felix told me that the more the devil gnawed at his soul, the more difficult it was for him to control himself and the stranger he became.

But if it was a quarter of it. There would be a considerable change from the former Felix.

At first, I thought I just needed to accept it because it was still Felix, but I inwardly became more anxious. Day by day, I felt like I was on a knife-edge because I was afraid that he would never wake up.

It doesnt matter if youre tainted completely by the devil, and you even have that frivolous temperament. Its fine, so please just wake up.

As I lowered my head at the sudden depressing thoughts, I was interrupted by Claudias gentle voice that sounded like a command.

Ilypia, Im taking you out of the island.
