I Became a Foreign Worker Loved by Transcendents

Chapter 136: The Demon Wants To Be Controlled

The inevitable period of clarity that comes after the act.

With the cool-headedness I had barely regained, I took the time to reflect on why things had unfolded as they did.

So, the trigger for all this was... yes, definitely because of the demon who had cast an aphrodisiac spell on me.

Although its exact identity was unknown, it approached me for some reason, and after draining my vitality, it tried to make me something akin to its sex slave.

And the words I heard while resisting during that process were still vividly coming to mind even as I had regained my calm...

'So this is the one who even left the Lord worried... Well, even if the imperial family is taking notice, it just shows the limits of being human are only this much.'

The words I barely heard while resisting the aphrodisiac told me that the demon knew someone I was acquainted with.

And that person was likely Merilyn.

After all, the demon had disguised itself as Merilyn, who had found me and brought me to the inn, and it was also Merilyn who had tried to cure the aphrodisiac that the demon had cast on me.

Additionally, the ability to interfere with someone's mind through playing music, and traveling the world alone in the body of a frail woman before meeting me...

All these clues led me to one speculation at this moment.

Perhaps the speculation that Merilyn might not be human, but a demon.

And further, that the Lord mentioned by the demon might be the greatest calamity in this world.

"Ugh, aaaaah...!!"

Amid such absurd thoughts emerging in my mind, a scream came from behind.

It was from Merilyn, who had barely regained consciousness and screamed after changing her clothes.

"Th-this doesn't make sense. Even if I were under Yasmo's magic, for me to act like that...!"

"...Um, Merilyn."

"Th-this is to be expected, right?"

Merilyn immediately responded to my call and turned her head towards me.

It seemed she felt shame with the arrival of her period of clarity as well; her face was flushed, and her eyes were teary, as if she were about to cry.

"Wow, is it natural to feel like this from the start? You must have felt the same when with Airi, right?"

An expression I never thought I'd see from her, who always smiled cunningly while hiding her inner self.

This showed that the current situation was not what she intended, but facing her now, I inexplicably felt a twinge of guilt.

Not as much as when under the influence of lust, but somehow, I wanted to tease her a bit.

"No, it wasn't that intense..."

"Wh-what?"

"Yes, Airi was relatively quiet. So, I didn't expect Merilyn to react so intensely... Ow, ow! That hurts, Merilyn!"

Merilyn, with her cheeks puffed, swung her fist at my body.

It wasn't to the extent that she couldn't resist, but from her trembling hands, I could tell she was greatly shocked by what was said.

"I-idiot! Idiot!! How dare you, Hyo-sung?!"

"W-wait a minute! Stop! I'm sorry! I won't do it again...!"
