I got stuck.
Hernán had no choice but to fully surrender.
The warrior party was trapped in a house with no exit and the demon king.
I feel like I've only been here for about 4 hours, but my head is pounding and I feel helpless.
The headache might have been from the magic on his head, but the main reason was the demon king kneeling in front of him.
"Are you really not going to kill me?"
"Don't kill me."
Hernán nervously tapped the horn on the demon king's head, remembering what had happened before he came here.
After dinner at the castle, he took advantage of the loose security and infiltrated the castle.
He was even convinced that this adventure would end beautifully when he succeeded in attacking the demon king, who was resting alone through a secret passage he had figured out in advance.
The demon king also resisted, but she was originally from a succubus.
The members are all women, and Hernan, the only man, is in a state of sexual desire suppression magic.
When none of his other tactics worked against the warrior party, the demon king quickly took out a small box from his chest and opened it.
"I thought it was just a struggle...
After a moment of great darkness, when I came to my senses, it was this damned space.
Hernán looked around, thinking about how he had waited too long to regret his actions.
The women were examining the place, which was much larger than expected and had several rooms.
While the girls told them, looking tired, that the investigation was useless, Hernán decided to interrogate the demon king once more.
"It doesn't make sense that you opened it and you don't know anything."
"I didn't even know this was a gift from the demon god! I was only told to open it in case of danger."
"I don't know, but you can get a sense of where this place is."
"I really don't know. I don't know anything about it except that the aura that surrounds it is completely unfamiliar.If I had known something in the first place, wouldn't I have deceived you and left alone?"
The demon king secretly raised a demon tail along his black hair.
It was probably an unspoken request to Hernan to stop.
"Stay still."
"I'll be really quiet.Get the knife off your neck!"
The demon king trembled slightly, as if he was scared.
He subtly crossed his arms to emphasize his upper chest.
Hernán was in a calm and collected state, his libido gone, so he took the appropriate measures.
"Ugh! Ah, okay. I'll stay still."
With the dagger pointed at his neck, the demon king went back to his kneeling position.
Just as he was happy that he had calmly dealt with one of his problems, Hernán heard someone's voice.
"L. Did you find out anything from the Demon King?"
The hero came running through his silver hair.
His lover and longtime friend.
He smiled at Karine, the princess of the kingdom.
No matter how much she tries to suppress her desires, even if she is trapped in her unknown space, it is a pleasure to talk to her.
"I don't know anything. To be honest, I doubt the devil is right. Usually, isn't the position of the demon lord won by the strongest and most powerful demon?"
The demon king listened quietly, then spoke, looking at Hernán.
"This body is the first Demon King elected through a democratic process, so I don't have much power..."
"Democratic, what?"
I didn't understand what he was saying, so I asked the demon king again, but when the demon king hesitated, Hernan just ignored the words.
"Did you find out anything more?"
"There isn't. There's no new space to explore, and no weapons or magic tools have gone missing."
Hearing the continuous words from the hero that he had no words seemed to intensify his headache again.
Ignoring the pain, Hernan glanced at the dagger in his hand.
This small dagger, which he also carried in his bosom, was the only weapon left for the people here.
"And the unknown life guide that we gathered and looked at earlier.Other than that, there's absolutely nothing to tell us about this."
The life guide that was stamped with the demon's seal had only a few short entries.
It was similar to saying that rice is served three times a day and that the facility should not be destroyed.
While Hernán spoke with the hero and confirmed what he had learned, the others gradually gathered.
Among them, the elf Silnia was the first to speak, making Hernan's headache worse.
"I have to get that mana stone by cutting her neck right now!"
The demon king's complexion turned as blue as Silnia's hair, without even looking at it.
"There is no magical power here, and according to the saintess, there is no divine power!Of course, the spirits didn't answer either.You have to use the magic stone that comes out when you kill the demons and destroy this place!"
"For now, calm down. There is no guarantee that you will be outside even if you break down here, and maybe the demon king will help."
When Saint Marina stopped the elf, the demon king saw this as an opportunity.
"I'm weak, so my magic stone will be smaller than a baby's finger. You can't use magic to penetrate a thick wall like here. And surely someday it will help..."
"Who told you to open your mouth?"
The elf raised his fist towards the demon lord with a grim face.
"Hey, Sylnia. I told you to stop."
Hernan said harsh words, but she glared at him fiercely.
He was the kind of person who would be kicked out of the elves' village.
"I'm starting to think it's real. The devil's words..."
A voice came from behind the saintess.
Hernán pulled the demon king away from the elf and turned his attention to the wizard Poti.
"A demon lord is supposed to have strong magic, but that demon tribe doesn't have that kind of feeling."
"It's useless."
The hero smiled bitterly and sat down on a chair at the dining table on the other side of the living room.
"Now that this has happened, let's discuss how we can escape."
Let's sit down, she said, as the saintess intervened between Hernan and the elf, exchanging glances.
Hernán nodded her head, dragged her demon lord, and sat down next to the hero.
As soon as she sat down, she warned the demon king that she would cut off at least one of her horns if she did anything out of the ordinary, then turned her attention to the warrior.
"Everyone knows from the guidebook earlier, but the way out is to gather 25 people."
"But are we alone here?"
Said the mage gloomily, pressing the robe on his head even deeper.
Meanwhile, when the light pink hair fell out, I quickly pushed it back into the robe.
Hernán asked a question, thinking that the outfit was a bit stuffy.
"I saw five rooms at the end of the hallway leading to the living room, but are there any people there?"
"There aren't any."
The elf answered briefly.
Although he had a dirty personality, he had good senses like an elf.
If she didn't have her, she would definitely not be there.
"It was a locked room from the start."
The warrior sighed lightly and pointed around.
"The same is true for the five bedrooms, the bathroom, the bathroom, and the laundry room. It looks well-maintained, but there are no people."
"It might be like a demonic maze."
The saintess questioned her, but she honestly did not agree.
If it's a labyrinth, it's meant to keep people out or cause them pain by trapping them.
There would be no reason to arrange comfortable facilities and furniture like here.
It hasn't come out yet, but they say they offer meals every day, so it's good to say that it's a resort that doesn't go well with this rough world.
Everyone seemed to think so, but no one responded to the saintess' words.
"Then gathering people must have a slightly different meaning."
It wasn't something she thought deeply about.
However, the cold impression of her warrior began to show a confused expression.
Hernán felt he didn't know why women, even the demon king, looked at him blankly.
Did the person who brought her up want to offer an alternative?
"Let's set aside the unanswered questions and focus on the private bedroom. According to the rules, everyone has to sleep in private bedrooms, right?"
"That's right."
After briefly looking at the private bedrooms around the living room, the women except for the hero stopped looking at her.
Hernán opened his mouth to the hero, who answered, wondering about the atmosphere, which felt a little cold.
"By the way, there are five private bedrooms. Don't you have a room for me?"
"Huh. Instead, there was a room with the demon king's name, Shafikara Pagan, written on it."
"Can't you steal it?"
At those words, I could see the demon king flinch once again.
She must have had a terrible day.
While she was doing well in the demon king's castle, she was almost killed by a group of warriors who suddenly attacked, but she barely survived because she only swears and threatens all day long.
Hernán shook her head and spoke to the women.
"As expected, I will sleep in the living room."
"But then there will be no food tomorrow? It says so in the rule book."
"Don't worry too much, saintess."
The saintess was worried and touched her long blonde hair.
He said something to reassure the saintess and squeezed the dagger at her waist.
Hernan was worried that the being imprisoning him might be a demon, but he already thought he didn't have to obey all the rules.
"I think he says he sleeps in one of the girls' rooms...
The Demon King cautiously expressed his opinion, but there was no response.
Instead, a cowardly person like a wizard pointed to the demon king with a shaking voice and suggested arresting him.
"It is scary to sleep in the same space as the demon king. None of the private bedrooms here have locks..."
"There are a lot of blankets here. We can tear them up and use the strings they make. Let's tie him up."
"Tie me?"
When the demon king jumped up at the elf's answer, Hernán hurriedly pressed her on the shoulder.
Meanwhile, the elf went into her own bedroom, which had a name on it.
"Too bad! I'm a dreamer, so my physical abilities are similar to those of humans, and I don't have magic here, so I can't use temptation or dreams."
"If you put it the other way around, you could cut our throats like normal people."
As soon as the hero finished speaking calmly, the elf rolled up the blanket fibers and brought her an improvised string.
"Reach out your hand."
"Even if I'm locked up, I'll do this with women..."
The demon king's heart-shaped eyes looked at Hernán in a way that was unfair.
What could I do? Because of that, the warrior party comfortably subdued the demon king at the last minute.
As I was lost in thought, looking at her strange eyes, I heard the hero's calm whisper.
"Do you want to sleep with me?"
"Carine."
Hernán, noticing her confusion, saw her lover, her princess, who wanted to take her place.
"You still have that magic working?"
"Is that magic still working?"
The two, who were old friends, had a close relationship and became lovers, but Hernan never touched her body.
The so-called "eunuch magic" that suppresses sexual desire also played a role.
"I know you're not the kind of person who would do such a thing without that magic."
As Carine said, Hernán said she would not do anything that would become her weakness.
Carine was born to a king who was irresponsible and only made more illegitimate children, and a daughter of a fallen aristocratic family who had no power.
If her weakness is discovered, she will be removed from the line of succession to the throne because she lacks support.
It's a very good weakness for a royal woman who should be pure to mix with a man who is not married and has no power at all.
"But there are other people here."
As Karine continued to speak, Hernán nodded her head in her silence.
She shouldn't reveal her hero's weakness to Silnia, an elf who doesn't care about other people and says what she wants, or to Potty, a wizard with no social experience.
The eunuch magic Hernán received before the start of the journey is like a strong insurance against emergencies.
Everyone knows Hernán is impregnable because of that magic, so it's easy for them to be intimate.
"The more you look at it, the more useful it is."
To be honest, when I first received the suggestion to cast this spell, I felt uncomfortable and angry. But if it was to help Karine, I could cast it.
"Then let's sleep together. Are we going to share a room someday?"
I felt affection toward her, even though she was always cold.
Hernan is the family she always dreamed of.
It won't be long before that happens with the woman she loves.
When she returns to her capital with her history of defeating the demon king, she becomes a high-ranking noble and a suitable spouse for him.
"Good."
Hernan answered briefly and awkwardly looked away from her.
Even when she wasn't feeling sexual, she sometimes felt her face flush when she looked at her beautiful face and spoke.
"Can't you even gag it?"
"If they can't breathe well in their sleep, they could die."
"I'm really harmless!"
Suddenly, the Demon King, who had been tied to her table with her hands and feet tied up, started screaming at the top of her lungs, begging them not to tie her too tightly.
Hernán frowned at the shrill voice in her head.
"You'd better put it in your private bedroom quickly and get ready to sleep with everyone."
"I'll put it in and come back."
Hernán grabbed the demon king by the back of its neck and lifted it up.
"Fly! Aww!"
The demon king struggled to free herself from Hernán's grasp, but she couldn't break free.
I left everyone behind and went into the room with her name written on it.
"Kuk!"
Her demon lord glared at her with angry eyes as Hernan roughly threw her into her bed.
"Even though I'm the demon king, is it acceptable for a man to be so rough with a beautiful woman?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Anyway, because of my magic, I can't feel anything, even when I look at you."
Instead, it was the interior of the room that caught her eye.
Even Karine, who was a member of the royal family, did not have a room as spacious and nice as this one.
The room was perfect in every way, from the stylish and unique furniture to the size that could easily fit five or six people.
Hernan felt bad that he didn't get to enjoy this room by himself.
"Here you. Didn't you say her name was Hernán?"
"However?"
"Sleep with me."
Hernan laughed, thinking it was absurd.
"Why me? Why should I sleep with the guys who tried to kill each other a few hours ago?"
"You said you put a spell on her to stop her from being sexually attracted to anyone. Didn't you know that it's very dangerous?"
"Are you saying that succubuses are dangerous because they can't drain their energy?"
"It's not our position, but the person who received the procedure is in danger!"
The demon king somehow turned around to look straight into Hernán's face.
Her bare skin moved with the rocking of the bed, showing the revealing outfits she was wearing.
"No way? Magic that suppresses libido is not dangerous."
From a succubus's perspective, sex is a matter of survival, so it might be seen as threatening. But for a human, it's just not essential.
No matter how much he thought about it, Hernán thought he didn't understand the danger.
Karine and the royal mage had said that they would release them later without any side effects.
"Typically, magic that lasts is powered by a type of energy found in the environment."
The demon king leaned his upper body against the head of his bed and took a deep breath.
"But there's almost no magic here, right?"
"So, doesn't it naturally lose its strength?"
The demon king's smile grew fainter.
"Of course not! There's no way the complex magic cast directly on the brain can be solved so easily."
I was starting to get annoyed.
I wanted to get out of the room and go back to Karine.
However, Hernán wouldn't let go of her and continued to listen to the demon king.
"If the magic continues without proper action, it will continue to stimulate the user's brain and drive them crazy. This place is extremely weak, so maybe 3 or 4 weeks at most?"
"Don't lie."
Hernán thought she couldn't hear any more and tried to turn her feet.
It was the devil, and the devil was telling the truth.
There was no need to listen to the lies of the false race.
"Really! Don't you have a headache right now?"
Once again, Hernan's feet stopped.
"Do you keep getting sick for no reason? Before, I lived without knowing anything like headaches."
"It doesn't hurt."
Hernán narrowed his brows at the headache that wouldn't go away.
"That magic originally causes pain as much as it stimulates the brain.However, if the magic is properly activated, it will also give pain relief, so the headaches that were there will go away."
The demon king now blatantly laughed.
Hernán sensed her rising anxiety, and she remembered her name.
"Shafikara Pagan? Was that her name?"
"You can call me Sharpie."
Sharpie held out her tightly bound hands.
It seemed like she wanted to release her, but I couldn't let her go yet.
"As you say, let's say the magic is the problem. If so, why not ask our wizard to release it?"
"You still don't understand? How could a wizard with no magical powers and no ability to touch the brain cancel it?"
"So you're saying I should write a will in advance in circles?"
She pointed at herself with her bound hands as if the marker was frustrated.
"Think about who I am! Even though I'm in a mental state, have you forgotten that I'm a succubus?"
The master of sexual magic was the succubus.
If so, she may be claiming that she can solve it.
"Good. I'd like to hear what help you offer. I'll release the limbs if they're useful."
Demon King Sharpie's heart-shaped eyes shone with anticipation.
It seemed like a god.
"Have sex with me. When our bodies touch, the magical power in my body will counteract the magic in your brain... Wait!"
"In the end, you said that you would fulfill your own desires. If you talk more, I will gag you."
Hernán felt his headache worsen, and this time he headed outside with a firm step.
"Hernan! To get out of here anyway..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the door slammed shut.
"It took a long time."
As soon as he came out, the warrior Karine greeted Hernan with a cold smile.
"It was late because I was talking nonsense.Let's just go in."
Seeing Karine made her feel like her head was exploding.
Despite her headache, Hernan smiled and followed Karine into her room.
Karine looked at the Demon King's room as she entered with Hernan.
After staring at her door for a moment, she turned to her lover.
