The Punishment of A Demon General

Chapter 92: +Bed, Bath, And Beyond+



I groan as I open my eyes, everything coming to clarity slowly, revealing... My room, surprisingly. Um, wait, what? There's no way that was just a dream, right?

For the first time in what feels like forever, my room is completely devoid of others too. No Heroine hovering over me, nothing.

Glancing over, it does seem to be in the middle of the night so I can see why, but...

I rub my forehead, trying to think of exactly what happened. If it is a dream, good, then that was fine... If not, what do I do? Wrath is probably really angry, and it's not like I can defeat her like I could in my dream.

It wouldn't be a surprise if she just suddenly burst- No! Do not say things like that anymore! It seems like any time I do, things actually happen. I refuse!

That might be a big hazard to my servants though if she decides to go on some sort of killing spree. So I've managed to make two Demon Generals my enemy now, and one more who I insulted and probably still isn't quite happy with me.

I rub my temples a bit. The Heroine does seem to still be on my side though, since that's some sort of consolation. She's very sabotaging, but I have...

I pinch my cheeks a bit when my mind considers the word 'friends' deciding to shelve the term for now. I try to hop up out of bed but my waist doesn't quite let me, even whatever length of time that was not enough to treat me from Wrath's aggressive fucking.

I glance around a bit. I am clean, but maybe a bath would do me some good, honestly. Thankfully, I can't get lost there, as much as I try. The bathing room is next to mine, so even if I don't manage to remember it, I can just go to the other one!

I glance around once more. The problem is getting there, though... Do I really have to crawl my way there? There's no way anyone is just hovering outside my door, right? So my shame will just be mine alone, and I can forget about it!

I could move from furniture to furniture too I guess, but honestly, dignity is worth less than getting to take a bath quicker.

I decide to get crawling, supporting myself with the door as I pull myself up, groaning in strain with how much my legs just want to give out. Wrath definitely broke something again, I swear...

Pulling the door open, I glance around the hall, ensuring nobody is there before making my way to the bath, a surprisingly simple process without interruption, leaving me sighing in relief. My luck isn't always bad!

I turn the tap, an extraordinarily expensive thing for demon-kind, but something adapted from human designs. It gives hot water right away! It's so nice... Frankly, just having water on demand is a luxury for most.

After finding the right temperature, I hoist myself over the edge of the large and pristine bath, relaxing into the intense heat filling my aching body, finally getting to look over my bathroom once again.

Honestly, I don't care what my servant's say about my bathroom not suiting me, the smooth and clean almost angelic marble designs with stained glass is perfect. I even have an entire mirror covering the wall next to my bath, allowing me to lean over the edge and stare into my eyes, bringing a smile to my face.

There's a reason purity is to also mean cleanliness or whatever, and who else would fit that besides something angelic?! It's clean, it's cozy. Perfect for feeling cleansed after a long day.

Though, now that I think about it, the sheer amount of white tones in here bring back memories of the stupidly bright place whenever I do the Heroine... Ughhh, don't think about it.

The hot water is now over my waist, leaving me moaning as everything feels incredible relief, half dozing off in the cozy-

I'm interrupted by a knock at the door. Ugh, the Heroine is back. "Fine, come in." I glance at the door through the mirror, spotting the Heroine stepping in with a smile. How did I know?

"You're an idiot. A seriously severe idiot." I say flatly, pouting at her.

"Hey, what's that for? Didn't you have fun?" She says, forcing me to roll my eyes. Yes, I'm sure making more enemies is fun for most people.

"So now Envy and Wrath are our enemies, what are you planning on doing? We should probably get out of here soon if we want to survive at all." This is honestly true, as much as I don't want to leave my comfortable home behind, the risks are becoming too great now.

Next thing you know she'll insult Pride, force Gluttony to starve, and probably have sex on the Demon Lord's throne for good measure or something.

"Eeehh...? Not yet, I'm still curious about this place. I wanna learn more about your friends." ... What part of anything you've seen indicates friends? Wrath literally dragged me by my hair and fucked me until something broke.

"You... Demons do not have 'friends', they have 'yet to be enemies'. That's it." I stare at her, pouting slightly, wondering where the hell she got this information from.

"Seems like friends with benefits to me!" Eh? What the hell kind of benefits is it? 'Oh, I won't murder you, what a benefit?' I don't even-

I stare as the Heroine begins stripping, honestly, I was expecting this so I can't even complain, but why do you have to interrupt my precious relaxation time!?

She slips in across from me, the bath large enough to allow her to fit comfortably, if not just slightly tight considering the fact she has her foot pressed right up against my crotch. Jokes on you, though, mine is doing the same!

... Though I'm pretty sure she gets off on that so I can't even call it a 'joke'. I decide to pull my leg closer to me, keeping it away from her, drawing a pout from her.

"Awh, why? I just got comfy." You're really a shameless slut, aren't you? "So, what kind of dream did you have?" No comment.

I just look away, returning to staring into the mirror at myself, the steam having concealed it at some point, leaving a hazy recollection of myself that was once there.

I hear a bit of splashing as the Heroine leans forward, suddenly drawing a smiley face where I'm looking. "Ilvia is smiling now!"

I stare at her for a couple moments before I exhale from my nose in slight amusement, raising my foot to push her back against her side of the bath.

"Down, girl." I can see some goosebumps rise across her form as she looks at me, her cheeks reddening slightly before she buries her face into her hands.

"Fuck, that was so hot..." I can't help but grin at her blatantly horny words, our casual interactions making me relax even more.

"Anyway, fine. We'll keep staying here, but you just have to make sure Wrath doesn't go berserk and kill all my servants, or you for that matter." I wave my hand, giving into her desire to stay here for strange reasons.

"Ehhh? I already made short work of that, though." I stare at her blankly, wondering what exactly she did to...

"Wrath... Wrath is alive, right?" I say, body tense, wondering what psychopath might take her place if she did just kill her.

"Yeah, she is. I just had a little chat with her. What do you take me for, some kind of crazed murderer?" Crazed? Yes. Murderer? Yet to be seen.

"... Dare I ask what you could have possibly said to her?" Knowing her it could range from death threats to offering to sell me to her.

"I just told her that she could borrow you whenever she wants in exchange for shutting her mouth." That- That's basically just selling me! I was supposed to be joking! Also, how did you even get her to listen to you?! You're just some random human slave.

... Wait, don't tell me you were stupid enough to-

"I mean, I am the owner of the harem you're apart of soooo... Lending you out a little bit is well within my power." Yeah, but like, how did you... Who am I kidding? She was definitely stupid enough to say it.

Well, now we have three Demon Generals who are aware of the presence of the Heroine in the capital of the demons. Absolutely nothing can go wrong here!

... Also, seriously, you're 'lending me out' to Wrath? Do you not realize how dangerous that is?!

I sink deeper into the bath, pulling my head underwater, giving up. It's fine. Whatever. The Heroine hasn't killed me yet, either on purpose or by accident, so her stupid little plans have to work out, right?

I blow bubbles into the water, staring up into the ceiling. Honestly? I should have just made the temperature unbearably hot for humans, then she wouldn't have come in, and then I wouldn't have learned any of this and then-

I jolt as the Heroine begins massaging me with her feet, tickling my crotch with her toes, forcing me to scoot back and resurface.

"You...!" My cheeks flush as I pout at her, is there ever a time where she isn't horny? I'm starting to think there isn't... Though, I guess I used to be the same, no?

"You know, while it was fun... I am kind of sad I didn't get railed by the Mommy more. I wonder whose fault that was?" She says, playfully puffing out her cheeks, slowly pulling her legs over the edges of the tub, keeping herself spread under the water for me to see, albeit with difficulty.

I roll my eyes, sighing and resting my chin into my palm. "As long as you don't do any funny business, I'll touch you."

"Funny business is what you call a clown company, and I don't recall being apart of one." I stare at her blankly, the poor joke completely blindsiding me.

"... You..." You know what, at this point being underwater would be better, so I'm just gonna take it, I think.

She's really going to drive me crazy one day.

(And she did.)

+Rude, I thought it was funny!+

(I don't think anyone could think what you said was funny.)

+I bet there's some inter-dimensional being controlling us all like puppets who made me make that joke who thought it was funny.+

(What?)

Author's Note:

It was me... I thought it was funny.
