ED: Ignite
--------
Yoru was flustered when Akira collapsed onto the bed, but after being told by Kurou that he had only fallen asleep, he gave a sigh of relief.
Quite a few magicians died due to magic depletion.
Naturally, Yoru would be worried.
It was said that just breathing consumed the magic of humans.
This was purely what the demons believed, he didn’t know if this was true.
However, he certainly lingered on the verge of death for a moment.
Even though Yoru knew that he wouldn’t die, he couldn’t help but think that he had stopped breathing.
「…even so, I’m surprised he didn’t die.」
Kurou muttered this.
Yoru was hesitating as to whether or not he should discuss with Kurou about what had happened with Akira.
Yoru did not think that the magic would have a mind of its own or anything like that, and Akira did not tell Yoru and the others about the conversation he had with Saran.
Therefore, Yoru did not think that the magic would heal his master either.
Or else, Yoru’s heart wouldn’t be able to take it.
To begin with, Yoru did not plan on dying.
He had been ordered by the demon king to go to the depths of the dungeon to serve as his messenger, and he had the resolve to die, but that was then.
He had been thinking of getting out of it somehow.
Maa, he ended up leaving like that, but since he was able to meet an interesting human, it was fine.
Anyway, Yoru didn’t want to die yet.
That’s why, he will live together with Akira.
After all, he was Akira’s familiar.
Since Yoru would die if Akira died, everything would be fine if he protected Akira.
…that was what he thought.
However, perhaps this master of his was prone to getting caught up in troublesome matters and incidents.
He was constantly getting hurt and dancing with death at every opportunity.
Since his physical abilities and status were in a completely different league, this was the first time that Yoru had seen him being exposed to danger. Even when they were in the elven territory, if it were normal humans, that first arrow would’ve hit them, and they would’ve already left this world.
『I’m begging you, don’t die.』
Yoru brought his head closer to Akira’s cheek, all the while still being held tightly in Akira’s sleeping embrace.
This behavior was unbecoming of a monster who was prideful, but Yoru didn’t care.
They had gotten to know each other in the lower level boss room in the dungeon, so he was already used to it.
According to the original contract, they would always cuddle before going to bed.
He snuggled up to him, as if to make a request.
『Don’t die.』
He muttered this over and over, as if he were praying.
Yoru did not realize that those feelings were not just because he didn’t want to die.
Seduced by the warmth, Yoru had started to doze off, his head on Akira’s arm.
『Master; dono….』
After waiting for Yoru to have completely fallen asleep, Akira slowly opened his eyes.

He had felt something within his arms, and woke up.
「…don’t worry. I won’t do something like this ever again. I will not die. Not until I get home.」
And so, using Yoru as a body pillow, he fell into a deep sleep once again.
