The Main Heroines are Trying to Kill Me

Chapter 243: Direct Confrontation

Direct Confrontation

Hours had passed since the building hosting the inauguration ceremony collapsed, and the sun began to set.

Lulu? Youre Lulu, right?

Yes.

I get it. Since youre alone here, naturally

Just guide me already.

Ah, got it.

As I gazed at the sun, I started to walk silently alongside a demon who had suddenly materialized next to me, sweating profusely.

Phew

The yellow sun shifted to a reddish glow as it set, oddly giving off a lonely vibe. I stared at it momentarily, then gently blew on my hand.

Next, a tingling sensation shot through my hand, frozen by the cold winter wind.

Ugh.

The wounds I sustained from going through the ruins started to sting.

I shouldve rescued him sooner. Taking so long to find my master, I wasnt a good enough pet.

Um, is there anything bothering you?

Hmm?

Eek

While I was lost in these thoughts, the demon by my side began to speak. When I shifted my gaze toward her, she flinched with a startled expression.

Were all the creatures in the Demon Kings army like this? Why assign these low-ranking demons to someone as important as Master?

If I were the Demon King, Id have had at least a few high-ranking individuals by my side.

Even if I were really the Demon King, I would have stayed beside my master. Wouldnt he appreciate it even more if the Demon King acted as his pet?

I, I am not a low-ranking demon.

The demon responded timidly as I conveyed my opinion with a displeased expression.

I, Im an advisor to the Demon Kings army Lemerno.

Then who were those weak-looking demons earlier?

Theyre the top combat executives in the Demon Kings army and the second-in-command, Dmir Khan.

Lies. Why would they tremble at the sight of me? Even youre shaking.

I stared coldly at her, dismissing her ridiculous claim. She looked back at me, confused.

Do you really not know?

Stop talking nonsense and guide me.

Yes, y-yes

I had no plans to fall for the tricks of a low-ranking demon. I couldnt trust the cursed Demon Kings army, which had given such an unreasonable command to my master.

My only concern was my master.

Ah.

Ignoring the demons sneaky glances, I noticed something in the distance.

Thump, thump.

My heart quickened.

Despite being low-ranking demons, the Demon Kings army proved formidable. Their ability to escape through numerous guards and surveillance was impressive.

Hello.

Hmm.

As I approached the cage with a trembling heart, a middle-aged man with glasses and their rugged-looking companion blocked my way.

Move.

Wasting no time, I activated my Magic Eyes and issued orders in a hushed tone.

Ugh

Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain, as if needles were pricking my Magic Eyes. Perhaps I had overexerted myself today? Blood trickled from my eyes.

Wh-what is this

It appeared my Magic Eyes power hadnt diminished. The leaders of the low-ranking demons nervously stepped aside.

Could they be classified as mid-ranked demons? My master deserved better treatment. Shouldnt the Demon King personally welcome someone like Frey?

D, Dmir Khan? Combat executive?

..

I gazed at the two silent men and the girl, her face filled with fear, then stepped into the carriage, contemplating.

The Demon King will meet my master again, right?

I felt a little proud and prayed that the Demon King would treat my master better, and I directed my gaze toward him inside the carriage.

..!

Soon after, I couldnt help but be shocked.

Ma, Master!!!

Hmm

Master, in a dire state, was lying in the carriage.

Master, Master

Seeing Master like that, I turned away from the demon soldiers staring blankly into the carriage and closed the door.

Oh, youre here, Lulu?

Master gave me a soft smile and reached out to me.

After searching for a while, I had found my master beneath the Saintess, blushing for some reason.

Swoosh

Even a child could see that Master, currently patting my head, was in a serious situation.

Freys body was covered in wounds, blood flowed from his eyes and mouth, and his breathing was weak.

And the black markings all over his body indicated something had gone wrong.

Lick Lick

Fearful of Masters death, I nestled in his embrace and began licking his cheek.

I had read that a pet dog once saved its dying master by licking his cheek, keeping him conscious.

So, why couldnt I do the same? If Master lost consciousness, he might never wake up again.

Therefore, I

Lulu, Im okay.

Lick What?

Tears welled in my eyes as I licked Master, and then Frey grabbed my shoulder, blushing.

Im getting better. In a few days to weeks, Ill be fully recovered.

But, but

Verify it with your Magic Eyes.

Obeying Masters command and using my overused Magic Eyes, I confirmed that he was indeed recovering. Perhaps it was thanks to the demon army? Anyway, its a relief

Swoosh

Suddenly, Master widened his eyes and covered my Magic Eyes.

Dont strain your eyes like that?

It must hurt.

I felt warmth.

The warmth from Masters hand covering my eyes flowed into my body, warming my heart.

It was a feeling I had longed for but never experienced. But now, I could feel it countless times by being by Masters side.

Lulu?

Lost in thought, I clung to Masters hand, covering my eyes and cheeks, relishing the warmth. Frey tilted his head and whispered.

Are you crying?

Uhh Uh

Hot tears mixed with blood flowed from my Magic Eyes, wetting Masters hand. I had soiled Masters hand, but I couldnt help it this time.

Master was a complete mess himself, but he was concerned about my injuryjust a single streak of blood from my eyes. His genuine worry overwhelmed me with emotion. I couldnt help but cry uncontrollably.

Grip

And so, with my eyes closed, I held my masters hand and shed tears.

Youre hurt

Huh?

Master, youre more hurt

I spoke with a trembling voice.

Im not hurt at all.

Master suddenly wore a dark expression and said.

Why Why cant I feel the pain

..

No matter how much I think about it, it seems like this black pattern is the cause Black Could it be

I couldnt say anything more.

Due to the time constraint, I felt remorseful for my master, who was forced into a near-suicidal mission by the demon army.

Furthermore, I had triggered such an event.

Master I have something to say

Gazing at my master, who was pretending to be okay to reassure me, I started to express what I had been unable to say until now.

Master you need to know about

Having said that, there was a possibility that Master might drive me away, stop to pet me, and not even call my name.

But what I feared most was that Master might no longer love me and, worse, might come to despise me.

The thought was terrifying and suffocating, and everything seemed to go dark.

But I couldnt continue deceiving my master.

I no longer wished to be a shameless, bad pet.

Actually, I have

Hence, I tightly closed my eyes to hide my trembling gaze.

A curse named the Stigma of Misfortune

I was on the verge of blaming myself for worsening his time-constrained situation for my survival.

Ah, that?

Huh?

Masters response was entirely unexpected.

I knew about it.

What? What do you mean? Huh?

I couldnt understand. No matter how much I contemplated, I couldnt comprehend. Why? How?

Ive known since I took you in as a pet.

.!

I panicked as Masters distinct voice echoed in my ears.

So, what? I mean, huh

Master looked at me as I stammered.

Ill explain in detail later

.

You have been dancing on the palms of my hand since the start.

Oh

You cant even escape now. Youre in too deep.

With a devilish smile, he stroked my hair.

Youve fallen just like me.

I was too stunned to grasp Masters words, but his last sentence stuck in my mind.

Okay, sit beside me. Were leaving this hiding spot.

I glanced at Master, who gently ordered me.

..Woof.

I laid on his lap, exposing my belly, submitting.

Good.

Then, Master softly stroked my belly.

Woof, woof.

At this moment, my love, loyalty, and everything surpassed their limits.

No words or text could express my affection for my master, who was looking at me now.

My goodness the Demon King candidate is so

As expected Frey is the one our Demon Kings army has been waiting for

Thus, I could only demonstrate through actions.

Grrr

Under the moonlight, inside a carriage, and away from onlookers, I made a vow in my masters warm embrace.

Id infiltrate the Hero Party and join the Demon Kings army, just like my master.

I would relentlessly strive to secure a high position in both groups.

All for my masters benefit.

Even if it went against my nature, I would unleash my suppressed desires for control and power.

I would ascend to the top in that manner.

I would give my master everything, even the entire world.

Grr?

But as I resolved to do so, a sudden itch started on the top of my head.

Whats this?

.

.

.

.

.

As the twilight vanished and the gentle moonlight covered the empire.

Whos behind this incident!

The Imperial Family is corrupted?

What happened to Frey?

Did Frey assault the Hero?

Reporters with magical devices and officials from all walks of life fervently questioned the two girls on the ruins.

The Imperial Family is corrupted.

The noisy atmosphere hushed as Clana, visibly distressed, began to speak.

Frey Raon Starlight is missing. However, based on eyewitness accounts, theres a high chance the bomb killed him.

The atmosphere turned cold after that statement.

The mastermind behind this incident is

Frey Raon Starlight.

Ruby, unexpectedly showing up with severe injuries, cut off Clanas statement.

..

The previous coldness dissipated, and everyone wore a bewildered expression.

Its not true!!

And then.

Huh, what? This kid

Frey is innocent!

As Glare, introduced to the world as the Tower Masters disciple, shouted, the atmosphere descended into uncontrollable chaos.

Hmm

..

Amidst such chaos, Rubys crimson eyes met Glares piercing light blue ones with intensity.
