"It would simply be a waste to kill you. So rather than having you die worthlessly, I would simply make you pay for defying me... with your body."
"A-ah... n-no way..." The Mid-Demon was visibly shocked, her eyes welled up with tears.
Lucy, Sarah, and Byron also seemed frozen with shock.
At that moment, I realized my true intentions probably got lost in their interpretation.
"I mean, you will work under me! That's what I meant!" My protest came out louder than I wanted, but I had to speak up before they all got the wrong idea.
The moment I blurted it out, everyone had a relieved look, making my already palpitating heart quiet.
'What the heck is wrong with these people? They ruined my immersion too...'
As a result, I had to try my hardest to set the mood right once more.
"You will work under me and pay for your life with service. Once you've paid your debts, I'll release you."
Obviously, this was a trick.
