Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha - Volume 13 - Chapter 1.2

A day later, Jin tells him he has a job and leaves Basara.

The incidents of last night are still fresh in their minds, and they have a bit of awkward air in their living room.

As he sits at the dining table, eating the lunch Maria prepared,

“—Hey, Maria, what about Mio? Is she still asleep?”

Right across the table, over the spread-out Chinese-styled fried rice and dumpling soup, is a satisfied-looking loli ero succubus. She answers,

“Eh? No, she’s not. When I went to call her, she’s awake.”

But, says Maria.

“It seems like she’s still embarrassed about what happened last night. So, she doesn’t want to come downstairs… Nufufu”

Even though she’s the culprit responsible, she smiled mischievously thinking about what happened.

“I-is that so… I guess that would be the case”

As Basara nods in understanding, he feels his own face turning red.

After all,

…It’s the day after that.

Mio might not know how to face him, but the same goes for Basara who doesn’t know how to approach Mio at the moment.

But it can’t be helped that it’s awkward.

It happened right after they started living together.

Involved in something undesirable while going to the supermarket.

They took a detour to the park to relax, and they were told that Jin would leave them for a while.

Suddenly, Mio and Maria’s attitudes changed, and it became clear that Mio is the former demon lord’s daughter and Maria is a succubus.

They tried to chase Basara out, but the situation ended up reversed.

But after contacting Jin, it seemed like this situation was within his expectations.

As a result, Basara, who knows they’re being targeted, saved them and brought them back home.

…What a difficult situation.

It was too fast, that’s one part of it.

Despite him trying to take this in, the development is too surreal.

His feelings have yet to catch up with this development.

…But.

There’s another reason for Mio still not coming downstairs though it’s noon.

—Their goal is to protect Mio from the current demon lord’s forces.

Because of that, he formed the ‘Master-servant Contract’ last night based on Maria’s suggestion.

It’s a sort of magic that can only be done during the full moon in the demon world, tying their souls together and allowing them to sense where each other is at.

That’s not too bad to protect Mio, so they didn’t complain but,

…Both Mio and I were careless.

The truth is, this location-sensing power is just a side effect of the master-servant contract. The real aim of the contract is to “show the loyalty of an underling to the master”, and if the subordinate holds disrespect or traitorous thoughts towards the master, the curse will activate.

…On top of it.

They tied this contract with Maria’s succubus power, and while Basara was meant to be the subordinate, it ended up reversed and Mio became the subordinate, causing a mess. With the succubus power, the special characteristic is the “arousal” effect of a curse, and it activates for Mio so Basara has to get her to submit.

—Basara touched Mio, giving her pleasure in her aroused state.

But a part of Mio still refused to yield to Basara.

Hence, he ends up assaulting her weak point, her breasts, without mercy, and with nine climaxes, he gets her body and heart to understand.

Mio’s lewd moans, her sweet ‘oniichan’, alongside her face messed up in pleasure are engraved in Basara’s mind.

“…”

With that, Basara leaves the lotus of the fried rice, looking at his own hands.

Even now, the soft sensation of Mio’s large breasts remains vividly.

At first, it’s over her clothes… And in the middle of it, it was direct, Basara used these hands to assault Mio’s breasts, making her come again and again.

And then Mio –completely submitted.

…Ugh, what am I thinking about?!

Basara is flustered, shaking his head, trying to shake off his thoughts.

“I guess for someone your age, last night would be more delicious than my cooking, huh?”

“W-what…!?”

At the flustered Basara, Maria laughs softly,

“Hey, Basara-san… What would you like to eat tonight?”

“Seriously! You were punished by Mio! Did you not reflect at all ?!”

He reminds her to reflect on her actions.

But Maria pays him no mind,

“Well, it’s embarrassing for Mio-sama, but after really thinking about it this is the right way to go about it, right? It’s delicious for Basara-san and all that”

“Hey wait, Maria… What’s with your smile?”

He has a lot of objections to this.

At the upset Basara,

“It’s just, isn’t that the case? If Mio-sama became the master and you the underling, what do you think would happen?”

“No, if the magic circle appears on Mio’s hand and I kiss it, I think it’d be a normal master-servant contract”

At his flat answer,

“It is true that it wouldn’t be a problem during the tying of the contract. But, how should I say this? But men and women are different. Are you able to live without any guilt towards Mio-sama?”

Says Maria with a mischievous grin.

“You lived in a two-man household with Jin-san all this time, and suddenly you have this cute, erotic little sister, living under the same roof as her, you see? Besides every night before you sleep, wouldn’t a healthy teenage boy have certain impulses?”

“That’s…. Well, I can’t completely deny it. But I lived in the Village, focusing completely on my training—”

“That’s ancient times, five years ago… Would that be the same case now?”

Says Maria.

“Even now, you’re still looking at your hands, recalling the sensation of Mio-sama’s large breasts, no?”

“T-that’s…”

She’s able to hit the bullseye for Basara, then she continues.

“Well Basara-san, it’s not as if I’m blaming you. Instead, I just think it’s a natural reaction for a young man”

Maria, holding Basara’s hand, continues.

“But if the master-servant contract had been the other way around and you became Mio-sama’s subordinate, if you do that, you’d feel guilty right away and activate the curse. That way, you’d be panting as you slouch. And then, Mio-sama as your master will have her hands on her hips, saying something like ‘even though you’re the subordinate, you’re like this towards your master…’ stepping on you and digging into you, getting you to submit that way”

“…Are you for real?”

If he had tied the master-servant contract with Mio in that way, would it turn out like that at the worst?

As he zoned out.

“Yes. And then when that happens, I’d be washing your underwear. And it’d get to a point I can’t wash them fast enough, and you’d end up in diapers…”

And then, as Maria stares into empty space.

“—That’s good too, in a way”

“…”

There’s no doubt that right now, blood is rushing to Basara’s face.

As Maria says, if it has been the other way around, it would be game over.

Watching the silent Basara, Maria nods.

“Aah, looks like you’re saved, Basara-san”

She says with a bright smile on her face.

“You’re the cause of this, don’t smile at that. Seriously, how do you think Mio feels right now…”

The Demon Lord Wilbert who passed away a year ago was a Demon Lord of the moderate faction.

Not wanting his daughter to be involved in the demon’s conflict, he entrusted her to his subordinates to be raised as a human.

Since she’s been living as a normal girl, Mio wasn’t aware of all that.

Thinking of his daughter and how she might get dragged into things after his death, he secretly transferred his power to her as he was dying to keep her safe.

Even so, Mio was targeted, and the people she thought were her real parents ended up being killed.

Mio herself didn’t fall into enemy hands, barely saved by Maria, running away… And in that, her life was twisted, her everyday life taken away from her.

Maria knew this better than anyone.

Facing Maria who says all this while Mio shuts herself in her room, Basara cannot help but to feel angry.

“…Sorry, maybe I’ve gone too far”

Maria’s eyes and expression darken.

Her expression is so that it did not seem like she was just joking around a few moments ago.

At the slightly bewildered Basara,

“I do have things I have to apologize for to Mio-sama. If I had miscalculated, you could have been in danger too. I apologize for that, and accept any blame regarding that”

However, says Maria.

“There’s no other way. Mio-sama is being targeted by the current Demon Lord’s supporters. For you two to be able to sense each other’s location is undeniably a huge advantage. If you know where she is, you can save her if she’s in danger. Mio-sama would also be able to meet up with you too.”

“That’s…”

It’s as Maria says.

There are no ends to the benefits of knowing each other’s location if he’s to protect Mio. There are limits to hearing and seeing.”

“The master-servant contract is not limited only to guilt. If we think about it from here on, it could help in accelerating trust between the two of you. So how about taking advantage of the situation to deepen the trust between you quickly?”

“Taking advantage of the situation…?”

“While it’s a bit forced, you can suppress the effect of the master-servant contract curse triggering by working together and talking, and with that, you’d naturally trust each other more.

At worst, we can release the contract at the next full moon, but if it goes well the risk of the curse should decrease over time… And with that”

“Only the merit of being able to sense each other would remain, that’s what you mean, huh…?”

Basara mutters as he understands where Maria is coming from, and at that, Maria nods a ‘yes.

And then looking up, Maria once more gazes into his eyes.

“Basara-san —Please take care of Mio-sama.”
