Betrayed by His Party, a Failed Healing Mage Revived Past Demon Lords Out of Spite and They Were All Overpowered Beautiful Girls - 2

Chapter 2: The Healing Mage Trembles with Rage

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Mm… where is this…?”

After waking up, I hurriedly sat up and looked around. It seemed I had been sleeping in a soft bed with canopy curtains, and I couldn’t grasp the situation, leaving me confused.

“Where is this? I was sure that Albert betrayed me… and I revived the Demon Lord…”

“Mm♡”

“Huh?”

A sultry voice suddenly reached my ears, so I turned my gaze to the side, and there she was, the Demon Lord. And on top of that, she wasn’t wearing any clothes. My eyes were drawn to her pale skin, her modestly rounded chest, her slender waist, her fleshy hips, and her plump thighs.

…gulp.

“No, not ‘gulp’!! W-what is going on!? Huh, wait, I’m naked too!? Why am I naked in bed with the Demon Lord!?”

Could it be that I had a one-night stand with the Demon Lord!? While I panicked on my own, the Demon Lord slowly opened her eyes and let out a yawn.

“…Mmm… ah, good morning, Valsh.”

“How do you know my name…?”

“Because you have become my servant. As your master, all information about my servants flows directly to me.”

“Servant?”

“You are no longer human. As the true progenitor vampire princess, I, Elizabeth Bloodrose, have made you my servant, a Greater Vampire.”

A Greater Vampire. A monstrous being said to be capable of destroying a small town alone. I had become one of those!?

“Mm♡ By the way, how long do you plan on kneading my breasts?”

“Huh?”

Squish♡

A soft sensation reached my hand, and I looked down. I was firmly groping the Demon Lord, Elizabeth’s chest. They weren’t particularly large, but they fit perfectly in my hands and were as soft as mochi…

So this is… real!?

“To feel aroused toward your master… what a naughty servant.”

“Wah!! I-I’m sorry, I’m so sorry!!”

“Hehe, how innocent and cute.”

Elizabeth smiled teasingly at me. That smile, coming from the Demon Lord who should have been humanity’s enemy, made my heart skip a beat.

“Ah, right!! Alicia-san!?”

“Alicia… Oh, you mean the Saintess who was lying dead beside you. She is over there.”

“Huh? W-whoa, she’s frozen!?”

“If left as is, she would rot, so I froze her with magic. She’ll be fine for about a month.”

I hadn’t noticed because of the bed’s canopy curtains, but Alicia was frozen solid in the corner of the room. Well, sure, freezing her with magic would prevent decay, but still!! She looked like a fish transported from the sea!?

“Now then. Since our nap is over, let’s get to the main topic.”

“Main topic? W-wait, what!?”

“I understand your situation. Betrayed by the friend you trusted, betrayed by your companions, and unable to save even the one girl who tried to save you… Poor, pitiful Valsh.”

Elizabeth hugged me tightly and gently stroked my head.

“You did well. Good boy, good boy.”

“Ah, th-thank you very much…”

As Elizabeth patted my head, the anxiety smoldering inside me faded away. Being betrayed by Albert and the others, failing to save Alicia, becoming a Greater Vampire… It felt as if I could forgive it all—

“—Wait, no!! You clearly just used some kind of mental interference magic, didn’t you!?”

“Oh my, you noticed I used charm magic. I was thinking of taming you and making use of you as is.”

“I really can’t let my guard down for a second!! There’s no way I’m letting you use me like that!!”

“How curious.”

Elizabeth tilted her head as she spoke.

“Why did you revive me?”

“That’s because… I wanted to get back at Albert…”

“So you wanted revenge, correct? If that’s the case, then rebuilding the Demon Lord’s army should be exactly what you desire, shouldn’t it?”

“N-no!! The one I want revenge on is Albert, I don’t want to attack humanity!!”

“Then you should not have revived me.”

Ugh… she had a point… But the ones I couldn’t forgive were Albert, who betrayed me and killed Alicia, and the hero’s party members who knew and laughed about it. I didn’t want to drag unrelated people into this.

“I see. Then let me show you something interesting.”

“Show me what—”

Elizabeth snapped her fingers, and an image appeared in midair.

“What is this?”

“This is a projection of what my servant bats are seeing and hearing. The location is a plaza in the royal capital of your homeland, the Kingdom of Halmesia.”

“In Halmesia? Ah, Albert appeared!?”

It seemed Albert had climbed onto a platform and was giving some kind of speech.

『My former friend Valsh joined hands with the Demon Lord and betrayed us!! And he turned his blade against the kind Saintess Alicia and killed her!!』

“What!?”

“This is a speech happening right now. He likely intends to paint the Saintess as a tragic heroine and you as the worst kind of traitor. Quite the schemer, isn’t he?”

“…That bastard.”

My fists trembled with anger. Yet the crowd responded with sympathy and applause for Albert, who tearfully claimed he had slain his former friend.

『Poor Hero-sama. Betrayed by a friend, and even lost a precious companion.』

『That Valsh guy is the worst.』

『I heard he’s incompetent, only able to use the lowest-level healing magic.』

『I heard he was just a leech clinging to the hero’s party.』

『Even so, Hero-sama made him a grave since they were friends. Truly a saint.』

I was at a loss for words at what the crowd was saying. As I trembled with anger, Elizabeth whispered softly.

“How dreadful. These people, who know nothing, yet criticize based on one-sided information. Is there any reason to protect them?”

“But they just don’t know…”

“Let’s be honest already. You wanted revenge. At the moment of your death, humanity didn’t even cross your mind. You only wanted revenge against those who betrayed you.”

…I couldn’t argue back. It was true. When I had accepted my death, I didn’t care about humanity or monsters. I just wanted to spite Albert. It felt like my shallow sense of justice had been peeled away, and I sank into a bit of self-loathing.

At the same time, the feeling that humans were “my kind” seemed to fade away. Instead, I felt a sense of affection toward Elizabeth for making me realize that. This time, it didn’t feel like she had used magic.

“Somehow… I just don’t care about humanity anymore.”

“Welcome to the world of monsters. I welcome you, Valsh. Let us rebuild the Demon Lord’s army together and exterminate humanity.”

Saying that, Elizabeth hugged me again and stroked my head.

“H-hey, clothes!! Please put some clothes on already!! Actually, more importantly, why are we naked!? Both of us!?”

“On my days off, I prefer to stay naked in my room. Your clothes were stained with blood, and they would get in the way when using you as a body pillow.”

“What do you mean ‘days off’ for a Demon Lord!? And I was being used as a body pillow!? I’m annoyed I don’t remember—no, that’s not the point!! Just put something on!!”

At that moment, Elizabeth’s gaze shifted to my lower body, specifically my crotch.

“W-what is it? Where are you looking?”

“This is my first time turning a man into my servant… It is quite fascinating. Even though vampires are undead, it seems you can still get an erection.”

“H-hey!? Could you not say things like erection!? You’re a girl, you know?!”

“Ah, but I also become erect when I’m aroused, so perhaps it is normal. Specifically, my nipples or cli—”

“I’m not letting you finish that!?”

This is bad. When she was fighting Albert, this Demon Lord was terrifying and full of killing intent, but in normal times she just keeps firing off dirty jokes!!
