Chapter 58

It was a question she had never thought of. She only thought he needed energy and hadn’t even thought of herself losing that energy.

Azela answered, rubbing her head with a confused look.

“Won’t the energy… replenish over time?”

“Of course, it’s not going away at all. However, it takes a long time to replenish the energy that humans have lost.”

“….”

“Then, what kind of change will happen to the human body, which has been deprived of energy in the meantime?”

Zagnac raised his index finger with a smile as if asking a light question. The cheeky, smiling lips reminded her of the day she saw him for the first time.

When Azela did not answer, he continued.

“Your body as the devil’s contractor… the more your energy is emptied, my demonic energy will enter.”

“…What?”

“That’s why you smell like the devil… It will give your skin a glow.”

“What about me? Am I going to become like you?”

As she quietly listened to his words, Azela frowned and asked. Zagnac looked puzzled for a moment, then he grabbed his stomach and burst into laughter. After laughing for a long time, he wiped the tears from his eyes and shook his head.

“If humans can become the devil like that, then there will be no humans in this world, only the devil? That’s never going to happen since it’s just that at the moment you sign the contract.”

“Then, the side effects I have are…?”

“That’s all. Nothing that’s a loss for you… There is no such thing as being able to use a devil’s power or becoming one.”

Azela, who seemed to have been teased by Zagnac’s mischievous answer, frowned with dissatisfaction. In the end, if that was all, why didn’t he give her an answer in advance? Shiny skin and…smelling good was never a bad thing.

“Then, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”

Zagnac, who had smiled at Azela’s question, hardened and gazed at her. The bubbly lips looked like they wanted to say something, though they didn’t have the courage and remained close. He lowered his gaze and stared at her with the deep purple eyes.

“…You’re okay with that?”

“What…? My skin is shiny, and my body smells good?”

“Right.”

“But, why?”

“…Though will you still make a contract with me?”

He asked, looking at her with a sunken face. It was the first time she had seen the confidence disappear from his always playful or serious face. Azela, who was staring at the sunken Zagnac, tilted her head in disbelief.

“Yes, I will.”

“…Why?”

‘Why…?’

Zagnac asked as he looked down. It was an unexpected question, Azela lost her answer and turned her gaze to the air. She didn’t know why he asked if she wanted to continue the contract… Did he want to break this contract?

As she bowed her head, unable to find an answer, Zagnac continued.

“You said you will take revenge yourself.”

“…Yes?”

Why is there a talk about revenge here…?

Azela’s expression became more and more complicated as his words continued to make no sense. She had no idea what he meant. Instead of answering, she waited for him again and looked at Zagnac with her blue eyes.

Zagnac, smearing saliva on his dry lips, mumbled in a small voice with a sigh.

“…You don’t need my power.”

“….!”

“I… I…”

Instead of continuing, Zagnac clenched his lips and turned his gaze away. His droopy shoulders were unlike him.

“From a human point of view, this is a ‘minor side effect.’ I thought you might be running away from me because you were afraid of these minor side effects.”

“Running away…?”

“Yes. Humans are timid, and even now, you don’t need me. I thought you wouldn’t be looking for me anymore if you knew there was a change like this.”

As he put together his words, she continued the thoughts in her head and finally came to an unbelievable conclusion. Azela said in a small ‘Hmmm!’ and smiled awkwardly.

“Don’t tell me… Because I don’t need you, so you’re afraid I won’t look for you?”

Zagnac didn’t answer. However, his lips closed tight, giving a positive answer.

Seeing that expression for a moment, he had to hold back her laughter. If she burst into laughter here, she knew all too well that his pride would be shattered. Azela bit her lip, clenching her molars tightly, and turned her gaze into the air for a moment.

…He was not human.

Zagnac was the devil. He always dealt with humans who wanted, needed and asked for something from him. To him, humans were greedy beings, beings with endless greed. That was all.

Nevertheless, Azela broke it.

For the first time, he thought that his existence as the devil had become useless, and Zagnac lost his way and was forced to wander for the first time.

“Zagnac.”

Barely swallowed a smile, she cleared her throat and called out to him. He glanced at her with a gentle expression as if he was a pet. He followed Azela obediently as though he would put his hand on her palm if she shouted ‘Hand!’

“You are misunderstanding something.”

“…What?”

“I need you, too.”

Zagnac’s eyes widened. But, for a moment, he grimaced again with a sullen look.

“No, it is not. I know better that you don’t need me.”

“No, I signed a contract with you because I need it, too. If it wasn’t for that, there wouldn’t have been any contract with the devil.”

“…Do you need me? You have nothing to ask of me.”

Azela, who had been sitting on the bed, raised her body and walked in front of him, then she grabbed Zagnac’s shoulders tightly and looked at him indifferently.

“There is only one thing I need from you.”

“What?”

“Irene.”

She knelt down on one knee and made eye contact with him. Azela’s gaze and voice, showing no hesitation, caught Zagnac. As if tied to a rope, he couldn’t do anything.

She continued her words.

“Make sure that Irene, who will be born in the next life, is unconditionally happy.”

“….”

“That alone is worth it to me.”

“…Just that?”

“Yes, just that, I’m willing to be taken advantage of by you, too.”

She felt her heart swell at the sight of his weak face, which she would not normally see. For some reason, she wanted to hug that infinitely small shoulder right now. When she showed her weakness, did he feel the same way…?

Azela, who gave her a short nod, grabbed his lapel and pulled his dry lips, kissing him. Her tongue, which had penetrated through the gap, devoured every part of him. It was a picture she could never have imagined before.

And, before Zagnac’s touch could even touch her body, she first unbuttoned his button. Although her clumsy touch kept losing the button, Azela never stopped.

She unbuttoned all the buttons on his upper body, and she gently stroked his hard muscles with her palms. There were several untreated wounds all over his body. Her hand slowly moved downward as she ran her fingers through the rough wounds.

A hot breath passed through his lips. Azela opened her dimly closed eyes.

Zagnac’s face, which was flushed red with a frown, was seen up close. As she lowered her gaze, she saw his pants that had become so convex as if it was about to explode.

Azela lifted her finger over it and gently swept it.

“Huht…”

After only one sweep, a hot moan erupted from his mouth. It was as if all his weaknesses were concentrated here.

Azela carefully unbuttoned his pants. Although he could resist, Zagnac did not. All he had to do was let her do her thing.

As she put her hand inside his pants, she could feel the heat more than she expected. It was more swollen and hotter than she had seen. It was so large that she couldn’t even hold it properly with one hand.

Azela carefully ran her fingers across the wet glans. An unknown hot, viscous liquid touched her finger smoothly.

Strangely, it didn’t feel dirty.

Then, she wrapped her hand around it and slowly lowered her hand.
