Happy Wednesday!

Here is the chapter, enjoy.

ED: Ignite

When theShadow Magicate the magic along with the magic circle, I collapsed onto the ground.

Master-dono!?

Truly, the amount of magic power that theShadow Magicconsumed was enormous.

If the shadows operated by themselves and stabbed the opponent, there was a possibility that it wont stop, but that wouldnt be effective against a demon.

Having said that, if I needed to continuously use the shadows, I wouldnt be able to move my body afterwards.

Even though Id been holding back to prevent that from happening, Yoru was trying to sacrifice himself, so I instinctively moved.

I heard it from demon king-sama, but to think that youve grown this much. I did not think that my magic circles would be eaten. Maa, however, your magic power shouldve run out from what happened before, so why dont we finish this.

Mahiro snapped his fingers.

When youre creating magic circles, can you not do it so soundlessly.

I stared at Mahiro, keeping my guard up, wondering what he was going to do, but nothing happened.

Master-dono!!!

Did he sense something, Yoru looked behind me, his eyes widened.

I saw him like this and looked behind me as well, but I stopped as I was turning.

Wha! eh?

Master-dono!!

A red liquid was running down from my mouth, staining the ground.

The smell of blood permeated the surroundings.

Since the magic power was cut off, it seems thatThreat Detectionbecame useless as well.

Or, it may be because I was not the target.

To be killed by someone you love, arent you satisfied? I have judged that you have become an obstacle in demon king-samas plan to get revenge on this world. Come down from the center stage immediately.

A slender arm was sticking out of my abdomen.

I had been stabbed from behind and it penetrated my body.

A, aaaaaahh!!

When I turned my head around and looked behind me, Amelias eyes were dyed in terror as she looked at her own arm that stabbed me.

Why did my body do that!!

Amelias body was glowing red.

Was she being manipulated.

The magic circle that blew her away was most likely what caused her to be like this.

Ame, lia Cough!

I was bleeding heavily.

I couldnt feel any strength within my body, and when Amelia pulled out her arm, I collapsed onto the ground.

It felt like my life itself was seeping out of my body.

Nooooooooooooo!!!

Amelias scream reverberated.

When I heard the grief-ladened scream, my consciousness that started slipping away came back.

Ah-ah. Killing someone you love with your own hands, are you a yandere?

TN: a yandere is someone with an unhealthy romantic obsession

Even though it was obvious that he plotted this himself, the fact that he could say something like this in such an easy-going manner made me want to kill him.

Ah, Master-dono?

As I was feeling more cold than pain, I slowly got up again.

When he looked up, Mahiros eyes widened.

His ahoge stood up.

you, are you really human? Your vitality is comparable to a demons.

I ignored Mahiro, and turned towards the dumbfounded Amelia.

Amelia, I am fine. Dont mind it.

A, Akira.

I wiped her cheeks that were dripping with tears.

Perhaps it was on my hand, as there was blood on Amelias blood.

Feeling weak, my knees bent, and I leaned on Amelia.

Amelia was somewhat off-balance, but she supported me.

Its cold.

I was still bleeding even now.

Perhaps it was because I exerted my strength when I got up, the blood was gushing out much more vigorously than before.

However, if I collapsed, Amelia would probably blame herself, so I needed to show her that I was fine.

That, youre as tenacious as the evil creatures that live in the kitchen.

Pondering over something with his hand on his chin, Mahiro said this, and snapped his fingers once again.

Amelias face was twisted in fear.

S, stop! Noo!

Even though I had usedLiving Doll, it took time to take effect, but having you two kill each other would be good. Killing a riajuu like you would be perfect, wouldnt it?

TN: riajuu is a term used to describe someone who has a satisfactory real (offline) life, aka someone whos popular, got good grades, etc. It can be said to be the opposite of an otaku

Amelias arm pierced into me once again.

Trembling.

I did not know if it was Amelias body that was trembling, or if it was mine.

Guu!!

It was truly, cold.

If I were to fall into the hands of others, I would rather die by Amelias hands. Certainly, this was something I had thought about before.

However, I saw Amelias crying face, and I wanted to punch the past me.

When Commander Saran died, what was I feeling.

When father disappeared and I was at a loss, what was I feeling.

I had forgotten.

It was much more painful for the person who was left behind.

I couldnt let Amelia go through that.

Besides, I had yet to accomplish even one of the things that I swore to achieve.

So cold.

I, wont die.

So cold.

I will defeat Mahiro.

So cold.

I wont let them take Amelia away.

So cold.

I will get revenge for Commander Saran.

So cold.

-so cold.

My strength was leaving me.

Amelia was screaming.

Yoru was dumbfounded, and Mahiro raised the corners of his mouth and laughed.

I wont die.

Masters injuries has exceeded the limit.Shadow Magicwill be forcibly activated. Mode, Recovery.

My mouth was moving on its own.

What, was this.

I tried twisting my body to resist, but I did not move at all.

The shadows at my feet moved, and enveloped me.

It is confirmed that masters magic power is insufficient. Collecting the necessary amount from the magic power preserved by the shadow magic.

Strangely, my body became increasingly lighter.

The coldness faded as well.

I didnt feel pain either.

I didnt know what was going on, but I understood that theShadow Magicwas somehow moving on its own.

recovery complete. Now transitioning to the operation of getting rid of the enemy.

The two holes in my abdomen were completely healed.

The shadows that covered my body let go of me, and wrapped around my arms and legs.

Enemy confirmed. Demon Mahiro Abe. Occupation, magic craftsman.

My body was moving on its own.

No, the shadow magic that was wrapped around my limbs was moving on its own.

I painfully understood Amelias feelings from before.

Your body moving on its own felt extremely unpleasant.
