My Life Is Over
A Kasif with absolutely zero cuteness factor muttered, “......”
“You know what he said today? ‘If I felt like it, I could kill every last one of you.’ He’s a total moron. Why are Sorcia and Daisy even hanging around a chuuni edgelord like that?”
I glanced around before speaking. “Hyerim, come here for a second.”
“Huh…? Why are you being weird all of a sudden?”
“Stop talking and just follow me.”
I dragged her to a quiet spot and said firmly, “Don’t talk about Haru like that.”
“Why? Don’t tell me you’re also—”
“....Th-that...”
I started to speak but stopped, sighing because I knew what would happen if I revealed Haru’s true identity. I leaned in close to her ear and whispered, “If you badmouth Haru, you could actually die.”
“What?”
“I’m serious. It’s not a joke.”
“What are you even talking about?”
“Just don’t do it… If you’re not careful, you’ll really—”
The moment I tried to finish, I sensed a presence behind me. When I turned, Haru was standing there. The instant his eyes met mine, I swallowed a scream and snapped my gaze to the floor.
Wearing a cruel smile hidden behind an innocent expression, he asked, “Class president, what’s wrong? Are you feeling sick?”
“N-no… I’m fine.”
“You’re suddenly stuttering. What’s going on? It’s like you’re being chased by a wolf or something.”
“It’s nothing…”
“Really?”
The second Haru disappeared from my sight, my legs gave out and I collapsed to the floor.
“Hey, Han Seohee… Your face is completely pale. Are you okay?”
“Ah… yeah…”
“You’re covered in cold sweat. What the hell is going on with you?”
“....”
I stayed silent, replaying Haru’s earlier words in my head. It’s like you’re being chased by a wolf. That wasn’t a simple metaphor. It was a warning—if I kept running my mouth, the monster wearing human skin, Cineurius, would tear me limb from limb.
“...”
Once the miserable truth sank in, tears threatened to spill.
“Seohee, seriously, what’s wrong?”
“Hyerim…”
I told her, “Forget what I said just now.”
“Huh?”
“No… actually, don’t forget. From now on, don’t talk badly about Haru and don’t try to get involved with him.”
“Why are you acting like this?”
“If you want to keep living, stay out of it!”
When I raised my voice, Hyerim flinched and answered, “Ah… okay… I got it.”
“Sorry… I got worked up. But it’s true. If you want to survive, that’s what you have to do. Please, I hope he never descends on our school. If that happens, everyone will—”
I stopped mid-sentence when I noticed Haru watching me from ahead. I wanted to sew my own mouth shut. The moment that thought crossed my mind, another realization hit me.
Last time, he had looked down on all living beings on the ground as insignificant. That meant someone like me shouldn’t matter to him at all, yet he was paying this much attention. On top of that, whenever Haru appeared, I felt my spirit crushed without knowing why. It was as if he were my master.
Master?
“Now that I think about it, the summoning condition mentioned a ‘pure offering’...”
What if that pure offering meant a pure virgin? I, who had never dated once in my entire life, fit that description perfectly.
But why did I, who had nothing to do with any of this, become the offering?
Then I remembered the words from that day. I had said I would do anything if I could just survive. The moment those words left my mouth, Haru had looked at me and said something—and then it happened.
Could it be… that what Haru said to me back then was that he would grant my wish…?
That would mean I was the offering.
I had pictured an ordinary future—graduating normally, getting into a decent university, working in research, receiving a military exemption, meeting a good man, dating, marrying, and living a slightly better life than most. That was why I had worked so hard, even taking on the role of class president while studying diligently.
Having finally faced reality, I slumped to the floor.
Ah…
My life… is over.
I sat there in a daze for a while. When the bell rang, I headed to class. Wanting to avoid Haru at all costs, I took a secluded path where no one else went—only to find him already there, as if he knew my every move. He stared at the ground and muttered to himself.
“Breast size…”
The moment I realized he was talking about my breast size, terror flooded me. Trembling, I began unbuttoning my shirt one by one. Just as my pale skin and the lace of my bra were about to be exposed, Haru vanished from in front of me.
It was a speed no ordinary human could possibly achieve.
He’s deliberately showing me that he owns my body…
Only despair awaited me in the bleak future ahead. I could do nothing but sit there, completely numb.
Haru thought to himself, It’s hard to rest around everyone today because of those awful rumors again.
I started walking, searching for a quiet place with no people. In my heart I wanted to go where Daisy and Sorcia were, but Sorcia looked up to me way too much, and after the incident where I took off Daisy’s knee-high socks, she seemed a little awkward around me. So I thought I had found a secluded spot where no one would come—only to discover the class president was already there.
Unlike the others, she had never treated me differently. So why was she overreacting so extremely?
Just how bad are the rumors about me that she flinches like that…?
Not wanting to bother her, I eventually settled into a dirty corner of an abandoned storage shed that no one used and muttered to myself.
Now that I have some money to spare, should I buy things for Yu Daye?
Using my outdated smartphone, I ordered the latest model for her and checked the budget carrier for activation. Thanks to the Sealing Pendant, my stamina had recovered somewhat, so I ended up buying a study desk for Yu Daye along with other daily necessities. Before I knew it, break time was already over.
On my way back to the classroom, I remembered that Yu Daye had been making do with only the two pairs of underwear I bought her a year ago. That meant I needed to buy her more. What was her “breast size,” anyway? The moment I muttered that while pondering my little sister’s measurements, I sensed someone nearby. When I turned, the class president was suddenly unbuttoning her shirt, trying to expose her skin.
I activated teleportation magic faster than I ever had in my life and fled.
“What the hell, class president!! Why is she doing that all of a sudden?!”
Does she have a grudge against me? Or is she trying to frame me as a sex offender?
That was what I thought.
Today I stopped by the royal palace to give Father my regular greeting and ended up telling my younger sister about it.
“What?! You showed your bare feet to that guy?!”
“Shh!”
“Who the hell is he?! What kind of bastard would dare touch my sister Daisy’s bare feet!”
The moment I told her, she exploded in anger. Realizing I probably shouldn’t have said anything, I warned her not to tell anyone else. She promised she absolutely wouldn’t, since there was no way her sister would ever be married off to a human—especially an ordinary one.
“Sister, want me to just erase that human cleanly?”
When she said something so terrifying, I immediately told her no.
“For the peace of this world, shouldn’t we do it anyway?”
“What?”
“There’s a reason! Anyway, don’t you dare touch him, understand?!”
After that, when I stepped outside, the Kasif Holy Maiden Hunya was just coming out of Haru’s room. The clothes she wore and the pillow she carried were clearly things Haru had used.
They say Kasif love the scent of their mate.
I could really feel that she had imprinted on him.
When Hunya walked past without even glancing at me, I called out, “Hey. When you see someone, shouldn’t you at least greet them?”
At my scolding, Hunya looked at me with completely emotionless eyes and said, “If Haru is not present, do not speak to me.”
Look at her—not speaking in that cute way she usually does with all the “Hunya does this~” stuff.
Unlike normal sociable Kasif, she has zero cuteness. Cold, blunt, mechanical, and her eyes are filled with distrust toward others. This was exactly the Hunya I remembered from the past.
She has no manners whatsoever.
When Hunya spotted the food Haru had left for her with her name on it, her tail wagged as she picked it up and headed to her game room. She really does live a carefree life—just eating, sleeping, and acting cute every day.
Thinking that, I turned the other way and saw Primrose, the Saint of Hope who had lost her memories. Even I, a girl myself, had to admit her face was breathtakingly beautiful. She smiled shyly and said, “Rose, are you resting today?”
“I have work to do.”
At first I had been afraid of her because her magical power was so overwhelming that people mistook her for a god. But now that I know she is a pitiful offering who sacrificed everything to suppress the evil god (Haru), I can’t help but feel sorry for her. So I should at least treat her kindly—unlike that shameless pervert “Demon God” who took off my knee-high socks and kissed the top of my foot.
“Did you come after checking on Yu Daye’s condition?”
“That is my role, after all.”
A being who is kind to everyone. So this is what a saint looks like, I thought.
As I was thinking that, Yu Daye appeared from behind her. She used to be stuck in a wheelchair all the time, but lately her condition has improved enough that she can walk while holding onto the wall. The seizures have decreased a lot too, apparently. It must be thanks to Cineurius—no, the Calamity [Haru] and the Saint of Hope [Primrose].
When Yu Daye spotted me, her eyes sparkled as she cried out, “Miss Daisy!”
“You don’t have to call me Miss.”
“But you’re royalty! A princess! In games and manga, princesses are always the main heroines!”
“That’s only in manga… Father has many daughters. Nineteen of them, actually.”
And twenty-two wives.
“They say capable demon men take many wives, right? Since Father is the Demon King, it makes sense he would have many wives. So of course there would be many princesses! But you’re still a princess! You shine so brightly!”
“Daye, you sure know a lot about our demon race.”
“Of course! You’re going to be my brother’s first or second wife, so I investigated!”
“Aaaah… Haru’s wife?! Am I insane?!”
“Aren’t you? I even imagined the two of us in bed with brother, getting conquered by the essential romance-manga course—the [passionate kiss]!”
“Stop saying things like that.”
“But if I don’t, I can’t control my rampaging heart!”
“You… if you keep acting like this, your image is going to get worse.”
“Brother said it’s fine, so it’s fine!”
“Still…”
Daisy thought about saying more but stopped. Yu Daye wasn’t the type to listen even if she did. If that’s what she wants, then whatever.
“Yeah, if you like it that way, fine.”
“Dehet~! By the way, Princess Daisy, if you have any spare pairs of those cute knee-high socks you’re wearing, could you lend me some?”
“Why the ones I’m wearing?”
“I saw that brother’s game character wears them! Plus Rose wears them too, so I thought I should wear them as well! That way my ‘super cute little sister’ charm gauge will go up, right?!”
She really is completely devoted to Haru. At first I wondered why, but after living with them, I understand. I can see how much Haru cherishes Yu Daye, how precious he considers Hunya, and why the two of them trust him so completely.
It’s all because of Haru’s kindness—a kindness that doesn’t match the title of “calamity” at all.
