Chapter 240 – Waking Up
“Loki-kun has started healing the other one, too, hasn’t he?”
“I knew it would happen. I did tell him that the Catastrophe Mage had Spatial Magic, didn’t I?”
“Even so, it seems he was being very careful to confirm it.”
“Do you think he can do it?”
“I’m not sure. It’s hard to say just from listening to their conversation, but at least Loki-kun seems to have acted confident that he could heal him.”
“Oh dear… If he manages to heal him, we’ll have to conclude that he’s most likely a demon himself.”
“That can’t be helped. But is it possible for him to turn into a demon midway through?”
“Demons are accidental byproducts of crossbreeding, so it shouldn’t happen midway through. However, possessing black magic power without a magic stone is a trait only seen in the former demon race.”
“…So, the problem is what happens next?”
“If Loki-kun is a demon, what will happen if he is found?”
“Since Loki-kun is a transmigrator, it’s impossible to predict. There’s no point in wondering if he’ll be found since it’s likely that Felza-sama intentionally sent him to this world.”
“I hope that’s the case. I don’t want him to be taken away.”
“Yes, me neither.”

How many hours has it been, taking breaks here and there?
It’s already dusk outside, so it must be at least eight hours.
When we got hungry, Carla caught some wild animals outside.
We grilled the meat together, and I drank the water I made.
Carla drank the raw blood.
It was a dangerous scene, but he was a vampire who loved blood, so there was nothing I could do about it.
He drank it elegantly, so I didn’t mind.
“He’s slow to wake up.”
His skin and hair have already recovered, so I think it’s just the magic inside him.”
“I thought Loki’s blood tasted similar to a demon’s, but maybe the quality is different. Or is it because he was asleep for too long?”
Since he’s already started to recover, it’s fine to be normal, right?
When I told Carla this, his tone became much more relaxed. However, I couldn’t answer his question because I didn’t know the answer myself.
Today’s events made me realize that I currently belong to the demon race.
I have the question of “why,” but since I already knew that I wasn’t an ordinary human—because my magic is black, and I can use monster skills—I don’t really think anything of it now that I know.
Unlike the goddesses, the amount of magic in my blood is low, so it takes longer to recover.
Ria mentioned before that my magic power is a mixture of black and purple, so I’m a bit different from an average demon.
As for Carla, it wasn’t just one day; it was 10,000 years. The harmful effects of letting his “familiars” sleep too much have become apparent.
Each possibility seems likely. If we’re unlucky, it could be a combination of these factors that led to this situation.
According to Carla, however, this is the first time his magic power has recovered this much, and he was very happy about it.
However, it’s meaningless if he doesn’t wake up.
Besides, for some reason, this Demon King is incredibly weak.
My Insight skill is still low, so my perception is quite vague, but for now, I’d say he’s about as weak as the orcs in the E-rank hunting grounds.
I also get the impression that his magic power is capped. At this rate, he won’t be able to use magic properly, will he?
“Hmm… Nothing has changed for over an hour. Should I call him ‘master’ to wake him up? It doesn’t seem like we’ll make any progress if we keep this up.”
“Eh?”
What is this?
The vampire in front of me is acting like a maiden.
No, he’s a man. But his face is cute. His hair is so silky, too.
“Master~”
“…”
“Wake up~♪!”
“…!”
“”Oh!?””
At Carla’s shout, the Demon King wrinkled his brow slightly.
This shouting strategy might be effective.
“It looks like it might work! Come on! I’ll call him too, so do your best!”
“Okay! Master~♪ It’s morning~♪”
“Come on, come on!”
“Master, it’s time to eat♪!”
“Come on, you can do it! You can get up! You can definitely get up!”
“Master♪, I love you♪!”
“Eh!? Come on! You can do it! It’s all in your head! Come on! You can do it!”
The wrinkles deepened, and his skin… I could almost feel goosebumps, but he still wouldn’t wake up.
He had an agonized look on his face, as if he were having a nightmare.
I heard that vampires can’t do anything without magic, so maybe he just doesn’t have enough magical power.
In that case…
―Magic Transfer―
The transfer efficiency is poor, but let’s try 100 for now. No, it’s no good.
I can’t transfer any magic, and since he’s alive, his magic power has likely reached its maximum limit.
In other words, if this limit isn’t raised, the Demon King might not wake up.
(Ugh! The only thing I can think of is forcing a level up!)
I’m close to unlocking Spatial Magic, but I can’t quite reach it.
The Demon King is probably at a very high level, and there aren’t any nearby monsters, so forcing a level up isn’t realistic.
Is there anything else I can do?
Is there anything?
What about the move to revive the Demon King?
“Nuhooaaaaaaahhh!”
“W-w-w-what is it!?”
Carla jumps up in surprise, but now is not the time for that.
I’ve got it.
I never thought I’d use this useless skill.
I see, I see, I see!
Your time has come here!
―Forced Awakening―
I quietly muttered the name of the skill I had acquired from King Ant.
At that moment, my Magic Perception detected invisible magic flying around me like waves.
Carla must have used it, too. He stared wide-eyed at the magic waves passing through the wall.
“Huh? Loki, what was――”
“Come on, Carla. The long-awaited Demon King has awakened.”
“What!?”
When we looked over, we saw a man who looked to be in his 40s.
He had slightly dark skin, bright red eyes like Carla’s, and was trying to sit up.
