On The Other Side: I Quit Being Human

There is a moment of silence between Millonia and I after Ilschevar left the two of us. It is not awkward however; I am just too preoccupied with the thing Ilschevar has said, so I have no mind to pay any attention to her.

"Are you thinking about the other Demon King Candidates?"

"Hm? Yeah..."

I am only awaken from my thought at Millonia's question. It feels strange for me to say this, but I only take a proper look at Millonia when I turn my head to her this time.

I was too occupied with dealing with Ilschevar, so I didn't get to pay much attention to her; only now do I realize that Millonia has covered her chest with a shirt. Although I can still see the shape clearly, she is more "considerate" than usual.

"What? Why do you look surprised?"

"Of course, I am surprised. Since when have you become less slutty?"

"What the heck are you talking about?"

Millonia looks at me weirdly, and I immediately motion at her covered chest. She looks down at her chest and me alternatingly, then laughs humorously as she takes her shirt off.

Boing!

"I covered these babies because I don't want Lord Ilschevar to see that. It's embarrassing, you know?"

Her breasts are once again revealed to the world, and I sigh at her hypocritical comment—she is fine with me seeing her breasts!

I shrug in the next moment, then take the shampoo to wash my hair. As I massage my scalp after applying the shampoo to my hair, Millonia sits right between my legs, then shakes her head from side to side as her way to tell me to shampoo her hair.

"Don't be so demanding, bitch. I have barely washed my hair!"

"There is no need to be so angry—you know I will wait."

p "Then, stop shaking your head. Your hair is slapping my face!"

Millonia merely giggles as she genuinely finds messing with me is fun, and keeps shaking her head. It is actually not hurt at all, but it annoys me to no end.

I can only contain my annoyance for a couple of minutes; my patience runs out, so I immediately grab her head to stop her doing whatever she is doing. I apply shampoo to her hair afterwards, and she is calm ever since.

"By the way, are you afraid of the other Demon King Candidates?"

"Well, not actually," I answer Millonia's question nonchalantly. "Dying, to me, is not really a big deal. I am more afraid of not being able to fulfill my revenge."

"Wow. You've changed."

"To be exact, I have adapted to my crazy new life—thanks to a psychotic bitch."

"Woah... Calling Lady Valeria a psychotic bitch is very bold of you."

As Millonia has managed to irk me with her fake clueless comment, I massage her scalp roughly to irk her back. Both of us have an absurd pain tolerance, so a normally painful activity is just annoyance for us at best.

I wash her hair when I am done with it, then tell her to wash mine. She complies to my instruction, but not without annoying me by washing my hair while facing my way.

"Do you like what you are seeing?" She pushes her chest forward.

"Your face? No. I want to punch it honestly."

"My babies, of course."

"Didn't know you have kids."

Millonia clicks her tongue as her attempt to annoy me went ignored, but doesn't stop doing whatever she is doing. I am already used to her behaviour, so I can barely bring myself to "react" to it.

When she is done washing my hair, the time for washing our body comes. I don't know what has suddenly hit her today, but she does something she has never done before—offering me to wash my back.

She usually acts like a bitch in charge—telling me to wash her body first—so when this rare opportunity of her offering me to wash my back comes, I naturally don't refuse it.

It is much to my pleasant surprise, she also washes my back properly. I expected her to scratch the hell of my back, but I am glad it didn't happen.

"Millonia..."

"Hm? Are you horny? Just so you know, I am not that cheap of a—"

"Why do I only learn Magic now? If our purpose is to win against the Heroes, isn't it a little bit too late to only teach me how to use Magic now?"

This question has been bugging my mind for a quite some time. I have been thinking of a possible answer of this question everyday, and the only answer I always come up with is, Ilschevar or Valeria is purposely slowing me down.

I can't help but think so; I have seen how much those bastards have grown for the past months through Valeria's Spell. I have seen how well they can utilize Magic, and I can't help comparing myself to them.

The gap between us is so big just because of the fact that they can use Magic. If only Valeria or Ilschevar had taught me Magic since the beginning, the gap between me and them wouldn't have been that big.

If they are not purposely slowing me down, why else Valeria or Ilschevar postpones my Magic training untill now?

"Lord Ilschevar wants the best for his Candidates. Letting his favorite Candidate destroy himself even before reaching his full potential is not something Lord Ilschevar will never do."

"What do you mean?"

"Using Mana is taxing, and Magic is a difficult thing to learn. Unlike Heroes, who are blessed by the God, you need to learn everything from scratch—you even need to get your body used to containing Mana."

Millonia doesn't explain any further, prompting me to conclude what she is trying to say myself. I get what she means not long after, but it is still not as satisfactory as I hoped.

Millonia has basically said that the reason why my Magic training begins so late is because Ilschevar wants my body to get used to having Mana inside it.

I find it reasonable but also think it is a waste of time, considering the fact that my body has got used to Mana long ago. Ilschevar is also aware of this fact, but he still decides to postpone my Magic training—its's annoying.

"I am sure you will get the hang of it fairly quickly, but Magic is not as easy as you think. When you use Magic, you are taking out your Mana out of your body—it feels like burning yourself from the inside."

"Shouldn't letting me get used to that pain be a wiser decision?"

"Of course, that's what will happen from tomorrow onwards." I can't see her right now, but I am sure Millonia has just nodded her head. "That's why we are preparing your body for all this time."

I am a little bit confused about what she means by her words, but before I ask her what she is talking about, Millonia opens her mouth again.

"Withdrawing Mana from your body is different from containing it inside your body. Your body may have gotten used to containing Mana, but it isn't enough if we are talking about utilizing Mana to fuel Magic."

"Are you saying that my body might survive containing Mana, but still can't handle it yet?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. It is not rare to see someone gets their body exploded because they are forcing themselves to utilize Mana after learning Magic."

As Millonia ends her explanation, she has also finished washing my back. She tells me to face her way afterwards, so she can wash the front side of my body.

She is scrubbing my body with the sponge earnestly; she doesn't even make a single eye contact, but it is not because she is too engrossed in her activity. She is intently looking at my schlong as if she can make it grow bigger with her stare.

"Why are you so slutty?"

"Who says I am slutty?"

"You are slutty."

Frowning lightly with a harrumph of dissatisfaction, Millonia raises her head then looks into my eyes intently. She stops scrubbing my body, and keeps staring at me like that for a few seconds, before sighing helplessly.

"It's weird..." She scratches her head. "Why doesn't it get hard like it has to?"

"What? My dick? Are you really curious about that?"

I thought she was joking as I quirk my eyebrow, but she is serious about that. She brings her face closer to mine then stares at me more intently than before.

"Yes! I heard that men will get hard whenever they look at a naked woman, but why is it not working with you? It's been boggling my mind for a while, and I want to figure it out. Are you, by any chance, impotent?!"

"Woah, woah. Hold your horses, woman. I am not impotent!" I hold Millonia's shoulders then push her body slightly away from me. "Furthermore, why do you act like a clueless virgin? Men don't always get hard when they see a naked woman."

"I am a virgin, so what's wrong? Did you think I wasn't?"

"Right..."

I blink my eyes in bafflement at Millonia's words, but then decided she must've been joking. She seems to notice that I doubt her, but I open my mouth even before she can protest.

"Simply said, I have tasted much more alluring body than yours, so I am not that excited at seeing yours."

"Have you really had sex with Lady Valeria?!"

Millonia looks at me as if she has just seen a ghost, and I can only sigh as I nod my head ... Her look of disbelief remains in her face until we are done bathing.
