Chapter 27

“Ugh...”

I wake up.

So, I must have passed out.

“Big brother, you finally woke up.”

When I open my eyes, I see my sister Nene.

Huh? Why is my sister at my house?

“If I hadn’t healed you with my healing magic, you might have died.”

“Is that so? Thanks, Nene.”

I look at my body.

There’s nothing wrong with it.

“Master Norman, I’m so glad you’re safe!”

I feel the sensation of being hugged tightly.

I see Closer’s side face.

Oh, right, I made Closer worry. I feel her body heat and think about that.

Huh? Wait, if I can feel her, that means she’s materialized, right?

Eh? Why is she materialized without my permission?

By the way, the materialized Closer doesn’t have wings or a halo.

“Why is Closer here?”

“Well, of course, it’s because Closer called for help. It was just a coincidence that I happened to be at your house...”

Nene says this with a tone of exasperation.

So, Closer materialized to call for help, and it just so happened that my sister Nene was at my house.

By the way, Nene must have come to my house today because she finds it hard to stay at her own place.

“By the way, Nene, you know Closer?”

“Oh, right, actually, yesterday, while you were out, I met Closer.”

Yesterday, that was when I turned into a girl due to the spirit summoning ritual.

Indeed, she introduced herself as Closer, and while she looked similar, she was a bit different from the Closer in front of me. But if I claim they’re the same person, it would just be seen as a change in appearance.

“Master Norman, I was so worried, so worried...”

Closer whispers this with a tearful voice.

She must have been really anxious.

“I’m sorry... for making you worry.”

I say this and stroke Closer’s head.

She smiles contentedly, saying “Hehe.”

“Ugh, if you’re going to be all lovey-dovey, do it when I’m not around.”

“Lovey-dovey! We’re not—”

We’re not lovers, but if I deny it, things might get weird again, so maybe I should just stay quiet.

“Since you seem to be fine now, I’ll leave. You two take your time.”

Nene says this with a smug look and leaves the room.

But we’re not in that kind of relationship.

Because of what Nene said, Closer’s face is bright red, and she’s looking down.

Well, Closer is cute, and I can’t help but think it would be nice to have a girlfriend like her, but unfortunately, she’s a demon.

It’s just too unrealistic for a human to date a demon.

“So, what are you doing?”

I ask the other person in the room.

“I am an unworthy servant of Master...”

This is Ourobus, sitting in the corner, hugging her knees and crouching.

“I no longer deserve to be with Master. Please let me leave.”

S-Seriously...?

Ourobus, who was so reluctant to leave before, is now volunteering to leave. She must be genuinely remorseful.

“By the way, why did you hit me so hard?”

“Humans are more fragile than I imagined...”

The demon’s values are seriously messed up.

“Well, I’m not angry, so I won’t make you leave.”

After all, I’m fine now.

“Master!!! Thank you!!! I will never forget this kindness!!!”

Ourobus seems to be back to her usual self.

She switches moods so quickly, but whatever.

Anyway, I think about how tomorrow is the long-awaited duel, but I didn’t get to practice properly.

I’ll update again tonight.
