In the meantime, demons quietly gathered around him, drawn by the magical energy flowing from him.
“What is this?”
“It seems like there’s magic flowing near Lord Naberus.”
Among them, there were some quick to notice.
“Could it be that Vision has won the bet?”
“Hmm.”
Naberus cleared his throat at the comment. The demons briefly quieted down.
But even with Naberus’s power, he couldn’t completely suppress their restlessness. It was understandable.
“If there really is a new way to gather magic power…”
The demons couldn’t take their eyes off the box containing Mashinju. It was only recently that Killatia had died due to a lack of magic.
Naturally, attention was focused on it.
—Thud.
Just then, the office door silently opened. Velede often opened the door with magic rather than answering, so Naberus entered the office without a second thought.
With steps befitting a general…
“…?”
Naberus almost dropped the Mashinju he was holding.
It wasn’t just because Velede’s work desk, which seemed like it hadn’t moved in decades, was now closer to Beril’s desk.
—Woooom!
It was because the box containing Mashinju was resonating.
Surprise flashed across his face for a moment, followed by elation.
It seems the Mashinju also recognizes its owner!
“This is Mashinju, Your Highness.”
For a moment, he forgot about the bet and happily opened the box.
—Pop!
The Mashinju that had been enclosed leapt up as if relieved.
It really is going to its owner!
Could there be anything as peculiar as this flowing magic…?
“?”
Beril tilted her head as she looked at the Mashinju that had gently landed on her desk.
Do demons offer gifts this way?
While she was thinking impartially, the expressions of Velede and Naberus gradually changed.
—Whoosh!
As the Mashinju approached her, a radiant purple magic power visibly flowed from it.
It wasn’t a bad flow. Rather, it was.
“…The Mashinju is resonating with Beril.”
Velede recognized the item that the demons had lost long ago at a glance.
An object that radiates strong magic, glowing radiant purple, appearing fragile like a glass bead, yet boasting an incredible hardness along with its unique luster.
He had heard enough about its appearance. Furthermore, the Mashinju he knew was.
“It reacts to strong desires…”
And so, among the demons, few could properly use this Mashinju.
But that this Mashinju would shine so brightly in a human’s hands.
“It seems Beril has a very great desire.”
Beril’s face flushed as their eyes met at his words.
“……Is it that,”
Did I have so much greed? Her face colored in complexity.
Velede spoke with a matter-of-fact expression.
“Being the rain for the Archduke of Demons, there are naturally no better conditions.”
He seemed rather pleased that she harbored such desires.
“It’s like a match made by fate.”
The words seemed to settle deep within Beril’s heart, as she wondered what emotions they contained.
But the words didn’t sound so urgent. Just a light comment, as if in passing, as if brushing by.
Is he gauging my reaction?
Or does he have no thoughts at all? Beril felt her mind growing complicated.
“……It’s an immense amount of magical power.”
And Naberus, who had absolutely no insight into her inner thoughts, was simply marveling.
It wasn’t about the magical stone.
Although the magical stone certainly emitted strong power, the energy that filled the entire mansion when the magical stone resonated with Beril was electrifying to the point that it tingled his entire body.
Feeling that, he instinctively bowed his head to Beril.
With this spectacle, the bet was no longer the issue.
Male lead is a Love-Obsessed Merman
When he discovers she has gone, he risks everything to pursue her on land, enduring agonizing pain to transform his tail into human legs…
One-line summary: Male lead chases female lead. The male lead’s love is a bit sick, an invincible love brain.
Synopsis
During a voyage at sea, Jiang Yang accidentally captures a merman.
Servant: I heard that mermen are fierce and brutal.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman obediently rubbing her palm like a puppy: “You call this fierce and brutal?”
Servant: I heard that mermen have no human nature.
Jiang Yang looks at the merman with wet puppy eyes, obsessively calling her ‘A Yang’ like a childish infant: “You call this having no human nature?”
With great difficulty, she releases the merman back into the sea and returns to shore.
Who would have thought that in less than half a month, the merman, who should have been freely wandering in the South China Sea, would shed his scales, endure the pain of losing his tail, transform into human legs, and come ashore to find her?
He kneels at her feet, rubbing her palm, with merman tears rolling down: “A Yang, don’t abandon me.”
