Reunion with the Past (Part 6) Ever since I was little, I hated seeing anyone get hurt. I genuinely wished everyone could get along. Maybe, deep down, Iβve always been trying to fulfill my duty as the hero. Iβve made up my mind. Iβll walk the path of light. And with it, Iβll illuminate the darkness.

- Reunion with the Past (Part 2) With my bag slung over my shoulder and Oreole at my waist, I quietly made my way toward the stables. The Demon Kingβs castle at night was dark and melancholic.

- Reunion with the Past (Part 1) In the dead of night, when everyone was asleep, I carefully got out of bed, trying not to wake Nox. I put on my clothes and began to head towards my room. "Where are you going?" "...Nox." However, my arm was caught, and I froze. I thought I had been careful getting out of bed, but I must have disturbed him. Nox's usual confident gaze, which always looked straight ahead, seemed uncertain. "Going back to bed." "Sleep here." "...I left Oreoleβ¦

Nox helped me out of the bathroom, carefully drying my body before laying me down on the bed. The sound of the creaking bed echoed in the room. The heat I thought Iβd already expelled still burned within me, andβ¦

- Goodbye, My Beloved (Part 5) I touched the black hair in front of me and kissed the corner of his eye, just like Nox always does for me. Iβve always wished that my entire heart could be conveyed to Nox. But now, Iβm glad he doesnβt know. Because this love is too deep and heavy to fully express. Β His fingers traced the sensitive spots, and I mimicked him, touching Nox in return. A faint, choked sound escaped his throat, and I felt a surge of joy. My beloved was responding to myβ¦

- Goodbye, My Beloved (Part 4) As I slipped through the doorway, the bathroom came into view. I stopped Nox from undressing himself and took it upon myself to remove his clothes instead. In return, Nox slowly unbuttoned my shirt. Once we were both naked, he pulled me close and nuzzled my neck. Why... whenever he does this, I get the feeling he's seeking something from me. His arms wrapped around my waist, his chiseled physique pressed against mine β in this intimate setting, Nox kissed meβ¦
