IVE BEEN WAITING.... LIKE HACHIKO

[belheir]

H-Hey, that's not a very nice thing to call someone...

[ And he is, genuinely, a little distraught at being called a monster. ]

And I only did it because you kept getting rid of the marks I put on you! Besides, you healed it up right away anyway!

[schmisse]

That's not an excuse, I hope you know! It was still painful!

[ Now she has nothing to throw at him because he has the brush... Damn! ]

You'd be upset if I bit you, too!

[ KAZUYA THAT IS NOT AN INVITATION ]

[belheir]

I'm sorry!

[ Yeesh! But he does look... not even remotely sorry, because she says that and- ]

Actually, I don't think I'd mind that?

[ Is that a promise.... will she bite him in the future??? ]

[schmisse]

That's not the point, dummy!

[ god she might just bite his dick out of sheer frustration at this point. Maybe she should have added a bit of teeth earlier when she had him in her mouth.

Weiss remains grumpy for a few more seconds, glaring at him from her seat, stewing in annoyance. ]

So. What's going to happen if you can't eat anyone?

[belheir]

[ Frightening... ]

I'd probably start to feel weak? And then if it kept going on, I'd probably lose control of myself and just attack people until I was full.

[ Super awful. But he's sure he can get his magnetite fix somewhere here. Even if he has to be an awful vampire to do it. People are probably into that, honestly.]

[schmisse]

Probably?

[ Boy, why do you sound unsure... ]

I guess it's never happened before? What about with other demons? Do they also act up in the same way?

[belheir]

I told you, I'm new at this.

[ Cut him some slack!!! ]

Generally stronger demons need less over longer periods, but weaker demons sort of act like crazed animals about it, like they can't get enough. So I should be fine for maybe a bit longer?

[ Again.... he sounds unsure. ]

But I haven't actually consumed any since I became a demon in the first place, so it's been about... a month and a half?

[schmisse]

I somehow thought you only became King recently.

[ Is she misunderstanding? Did she miss a crucial piece of information? ]

What do you mean you became a demon? What were you before?

[belheir]

I'm new to both. I was human before giving up my humanity and soul to become a demon. The king of them, specifically. Both happened at the same time, but I didn't fully awaken as the King of Bel until a few hours after I lost all that.

[ So be nice! He's still learning. ]

What I do know of demons I had to learn quick and unfortunately only had seven days to do it.

[schmisse]

[ That sounds absolutely complicated. She almost wants to ask why he had to give it up, but she finds that this isn't the proper time to pry. It feels like a long story that shouldn't be shared when you've only met someone.

Weiss certainly has no intention of talking about her "story" to anyone at this time. Not the nitty-gritty of it, anyway.

Though now she thinks she understands why he might be nicer than other demons, or so he claims. It's because he knows what it's like to be human. Weiss may be wrong about this, but she was never truly a good judge of character.

Her legs are already crossed, but she uncrosses them, only to switch which leg goes on top of the other. ]

So if I ensure you don't go on a rampage and start attacking innocent civilians and wildcards here, what do I get in turn? I'd be giving you a part of soul, after all.

[belheir]

[ To that, her words, he actually seems a little surprised, but the more he thinks about it, the more he gets it. ]

I'll make a contract with you, to ensure we both are bound by the rules we set in place. Portions of your Aura, in exchange for my services as a demon. You'd be able to use my magic, share some of my abilities, and since you said you need Aura to defend yourself, I'll protect you when you need.

[ It's mostly the last part that feels important. The other parts just sort of come part and parcel with demon contracts. ]

[schmisse]

[ Just you wait, Golden Peacock. She will be the hero this resort never needed. ]

Like the fire from earlier. [ His magic, she means.

... Honestly, this is actually pretty interesting. ]

What else can you do?

[belheir]

[ All while using a demonic contract to do it, even. ]

The magic I have can be split into four categories, elemental, almighty, healing, and curse. It's pretty simple to figure out what those are, I think. Well, maybe not almighty, but think of it as more... neutral aspected?

[schmisse]

You've talked about curse, healing is self-explanatory... What elements are you capable of, um... using?

[ Is that the terminology when it comes to magic? She has no idea. ]

I also have no idea what neutral aspected magic is supposed to be, either.

[belheir]

Fire, ice, wind, lightning. And neutral aspected just means... theres no elements attached to the spell. Usually its an explosion type deal, just without fire.

[ It's kind of hard to explain!

He taps his hands against the bed a little.]

It's usually the most dangerous kind of magic.

[schmisse]

[ How... does she say this... ]

But explosions have elements.

[ Kazuya, you can't just leave her high and dry like this. She needs to know??? She actually looks disappointed that she can't understand what this ~almighty~ magic is supposed to be. ]

I don't get it.

[belheir]

Like I said, it's hard to explain. It's a blinding bright white light, searing pain that isn't really like anything you've ever felt. Or... you can use it to even steal other people's life force or magical ability with.

If I really had to categorize it further... it's something that attacks your very being, rather than your body?

[schmisse]

I see.

[ With that explanation, it sort of makes sense! Not entirely! But right now? She wonders what she can do with it. With her Aura and that combined, she'd definitely be able to do all sorts of things that she could never do before.

She stares at him for a good long while, not saying anything. It looks like there is something else she wants to say, but she also hasn't figured out how to even say it.

Because how do you even ask if they would play that game again without the playing the game part? ]

[belheir]

[ One day he'll have a better way to describe it... he doesn't know, he just uses it! And has been hit by it.

It feels like taking a mac truck to the soul in most cases, quite frankly. ]

Any... other questions?

[ Because it looks like she still wants to maybe ask something. Probably about some kind of other spell? ]

[schmisse]

Yes. One.

[ Here it is, Kazuya. She's going to ask a question and expect no follow-up questions, no questions as answers. ]

But you have to answer with a yes or no, and you can't ask anything about why I'm asking. Got it?

[belheir]

Wow... That sounds a little ominous. But sure, okay. I'll bite.

[Only a yes or no response?? Surely he can deal.]

[schmisse]

[ Shut up, Kazuya!! She is doing her best here. ]

Is the contract going to include anything else? I don't know- like... what happened just a while ago.

[ Don't make her say it!! And he's not allowed to, since he can't ask any questions, anyway. He can figure it out! And she sure hopes he will. The way her cheeks have turned as red as cherries once again should at least give him a hint. ]

[belheir]

[Kazuya opens his mouth.

Closes his mouth.

She told him a yes or no answer, and saying "If that's what you want" is not a yes or no answer! So instead he just sort of watches her a little more intently... Notes the blush.

She did seem to enjoy what he did. Surely she wouldn't have even brought it up if she wasn't interested, at least a little? And... It hadn't been terrible for him either, in any capacity.]

Yes...?

[He tries, hoping it isn't the wrong answer.]

[schmisse]

[ It most certainly was the right answer!

But it looks like it was the wrong one with how she's pouting, her hands balling into fists on her lap. ]

...

[ He's a horndog. ]

I'll think about it.

[belheir]

Okay.

[ He really, really wants to ask, but she did say he's not allowed to. But with the way she's pouting he just feels kinda bad, like he did, in fact, make the wrong choice. ]

... It doesn't have to, though?
