“Kyahaha♡ Actual sex! Now the unicorn's contractor has become the baicon's contractor! What ever shall we do~♡”
Liliet, lounging in her palace and watching the room where Arthin and Unicorn were trapped as if it were some delightful circus performance, clutched her stomach and burst into roaring laughter as Unicorn's hair began to turn black.
She had already identified the intruder via the pink orb, but that the intruder was the unicorn's contractor was a stroke of pure luck even for Liliet.
The mighty divine beast unicorn, brimming with immense holy power, had been a persistent thorn in the Demon King's resurrection efforts for the past 200 years. And Liliet herself knew better than anyone in the Demon King's Army how to deal with such nuisances.
The most effective method by far had been this very room—one from which escape was impossible without sex.
Unicorns and their contractors, who always prattled on about purity and chastity, would inevitably succumb in a room filled with aphrodisiac gas and shaped by their own minds into the most lascivious space imaginable. Under pretexts like the lewd atmosphere or the unicorn's life being at stake, they always faithfully corrupted their own unicorns with pleasure.
Those two are done for now. A freshly minted baicon couldn't possibly wield strong demonic energy, and it was absurd to think a unicorn's contractor, who had lived their whole life handling only holy power, could suddenly wield demonic energy. Some contractors had even committed suicide from the mental shock of having sex with their unicorn, so it was safe to assume no interference with their minds was possible.
“Ah~♡ What a fine show today♡ If we'd left them be, it would've been a huge burden on that little Rexton brat. I wonder what the others are up to?”
The new guy who showed up was quite the hunk—a real stud. Kaiyen, was it? He seemed to make some quick headway at first, but judging from the aura she'd just sensed, he'd clearly bitten one of the baits.
'That little Rexton looked tasty enough, but a taciturn type like him panting with lust? That'd be the absolute best♡'
Should she have Sirca pounce on him outright? As Liliet licked her lips,
—Boom!!
“...Huh?”
The sensation of her barrier shattering under intense impact transmitted through the demonic energy, freezing Liliet's expression. Even if it was a barrier set up via proxy in the distant academy on the opposite side of the world, for someone to dare crack—even partially—her barrier?
“Sirca! Someone's damaged my barrier! Go check who it is!”
[Y-Yes, my Queen! I'll head to where the impact came from right now!] At her booming command, Sirca hurriedly vacated the premises. But even after dispatching her elite upper-rank dream demon, Liliet's instincts warned her that trouble was brewing.
“No helping it, then. Guess I'll have to speed up the ritual using that little Rexton brat♡”
With a sigh, Liliet decided to pull out the delicacy she'd been saving for herself. The girl hidden away on the third underground level, out of her sight—was her name Elena?
“No choice~♡ Having sworn loyalty to the Demon King, that little Rexton brat needs to grow up anyway, right?”
Liliet smacked her lips in anticipation of the tragic drama to unfold, brushing aside her recent unease as she resumed peeking into the Rose Pavilion.

Your unicorn is now immune to the negative effects of unlocked 『Demonic Energy』! Unicorn Unicorn becomes Baicon! Inherited Trait - 『Pure Love』: Your unicorn does not fall to corruption! A status window popped up before my eyes. But the text on it was full of unfamiliar phrases I could barely comprehend. Pure Love? Inheriting favorability? And strangely, Unicorn's whisper from moments ago kept echoing in my mind, refusing to fade.
-“I love you, Arthin. I wanted to make sure to tell you that if we ever met again.”-
Unicorn's smile as she confessed her love felt brighter and kinder than any I'd ever seen. But why? In the 2nd round and this life, I'd never given her a proper gift.
Then Unicorn pulled my head to her chest. Her unicorn scent, pleasant as ever, brushed past my nose.
“Judging by your face, you're agonizing over it again. That's endearing too, but let's escape first and think later.”
With her hair now black, Unicorn smiled maturely as she slipped from my arms and walked forward slowly. A fierce demonic energy poured from the black dress enveloping her body—strong enough to rival any upper-rank demon.
-Sex complete! Room door opens in 30 minutes! Please cleanse yourselves and prepare to exit! - Unicorn extended her arm slowly toward the wall mocking us in demonic script. Despite never having used demonic energy before, she wielded it as naturally as her own limb, drawing forth destructive power.
“—Shatter!!”
Kaboom!!!!
The sphere of demonic energy Unicorn launched with her incantation pulverized the succubus-powered wall into fragments, dispersing it as mist.
“...F-Freaking awesome...”
I gaped in shock at the wall we'd failed to dent even at full power crumbling like a sandcastle. Unicorn turned to me with a triumphant grin.
“Any injuries? I didn't know how strong the Demon King's minions were, so I just gave it a moderate whack. Didn't expect it'd break this easily.”
Unicorn fussing over me like a worried child was utterly alien compared to the Unicorn I'd known across two lives. A mature Unicorn? Could those words even fit in the same sentence?
“Oh no! To think my liege was wounded due to my mistake! Wait just a moment! I shall heal you posthaste!”
“Uh... Y-Yeah? It's nothing, really. We should get moving, right?”
Unicorn inspected me everywhere for wounds, then spotted a scrape on the back of my right hand and freaked out like she'd been stabbed.
It was truly a minor scratch from my perspective, which only stirred stranger emotions at her anxious expression.
“Besides, you're a baicon now, so no more holy power, and demonic energy can't heal people anywa—... ”
I tried to calm her verbally, but trailed off at the holy power blooming from her fingertips. Holy power? Why does a baicon have holy power?
Moreover, her hair had reverted to the pure white I remembered. What the hell was going on?
“Hehe, this seat has transcended time to reclaim my true love for you. How could one so pure fall to mere carnal pleasure?”
Unicorn explained confidently while healing my hand, but I couldn't grasp a word. Why no corruption after losing purity? She just used demonic energy flawlessly?
'Oh, right. The status window.'
I slowly reread the status window from earlier. Sure enough, there was an inherited trait I'd never seen.
⚔ STATUS ⚔ Trait: Pure Love Your unicorn has awakened to pure love! Unicorns with pure love wield even greater power than before! Your unicorn vows to love only you forever! As long as your unicorn loves you, she is treated as a pure being! Your unicorn can bear offspring through union with you, a human! My head spun a bit. Treated as pure despite losing virginity? And that last line made me acutely aware I'd had interspecies sex, leaving a bad taste.
“Arthin, watching you die made me realize why you had to suffer so much pain, injury, and hardship...”
“...Huh? What're you saying all of a sudden, Unicorn?”
As I stared at the status window, my mental composure crumbling, Unicorn gazed at me with eyes full of love and spouted something bizarre.
“So from now on, mighty this seat shall protect you. All you weaklings need do is eat what I bring and breed with me in love, living happily ever after!”
Like with Shaomei, was explosive overdrive a fixed event for those regaining memories? As Unicorn boldly declared me her house husband, I felt my sanity slipping—but I took a deep breath and stayed calm.
“F-First, let's settle this incident before deciding that. Lots of people to rescue right now. Got it?”
“Understood! This seat exists for you, so even if it takes a lifetime, I'll wait for your request!”
Damn, too intense. Was this yandere territory? Sion had her own way of messing with me, but this new-type Unicorn matched her in pressure.
'For now, get out and talk it through... Shaomei calmed down after we talked, right?'
Shaomei, who ambushed my neutralized ass for breastfeeding play and attempted reverse rape, was now a sweet lover. Talking should work. It had to. Unicorn's gaze on me felt off already.
'How much time's passed? We were in there a while...'
I opened the quest window to check the time first.
📜 QUEST: EMERGENCY! RESCUE THE HEROINE! 📜 Your heroine candidates have been captured by the villain!
A lion never sits idle while his woman is in peril!
Rescue those captured heroine candidates in style!
🎁 Reward: Favorability with rescued heroines, Shop Points.
📍 Women conquered so far: 0/3.
⏰ Time remaining: 00:58:57
“Only an hour left? Time flew that fast?”
I thought over 1 hour 20 remained, but it was shorter than expected. We didn't even do a second round—why so tight?
Wait, something odd in the status window.
'3 people? Not 2?'
I remembered 2 heroines captured before entering. Why 3 now?
Did one of my women get caught trying to rescue me while I was trapped? The sudden dread surged.
Liliet's traps were vicious. If she knew the captive was my lover, who knows what she'd do to defile her.
“Unicorn! We gotta hurry! One of my lovers got caught!”
“...Lover? Lovers, you say?”
As I rushed to dress and stressed rescuing my lover, Unicorn's reaction felt lukewarm. After donning my uniform, her face confirmed it—zero enthusiasm.
“Yeah, gotta save her. You'll help, right? Unicorn?”
Damn, if Unicorn boycotted now, my odds sucked. I desperately made the cutest, most pleading face. Her eyes met mine, face flushed, and she nodded vigorously.
“O-Of course! How could this seat deny your wish? I am your eternal companion, after all!”
Eternal companion? Another heavy title, but I nodded without nitpicking.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ And in a certain room of the Rose Pavilion.
“Arthin... Not there, not there... Ah, we haven't even slain the Demon King yet...!”
In the empty room, Kaiyen lay collapsed on the filthy floor, lost in a blissful dream.
