To the Demon Who Wants to Monopolize Even My Death

“Is it a hobby? Getting caught in traps.”
She saved a bird that had been caught in a trap.
Without knowing that bird was a demon.
From that day on, whenever the demon got caught in a trap, he summoned Jane.
Throughout all four seasons.
To come rescue him.

The demon whispers.
“Don’t struggle to ruin yourself…… give yourself to me.
So I can take you to an even darker quagmire than now,
give me your heart and soul.”
Jane knows.
That what he desires isn’t just anyone’s heart and soul, but her own despair.
But the true nature of that despair was something she never expected…….
“Love.”
“……”
“Love so fierce and blind that you’d sacrifice your life for it.”
The demon whispers again.
“If you want to run away, say so now.”
Sweetly.
As if melting her ears.
“After you make a contract with me, there will be no turning back.”
