Hataraku Maou-sama! ES!! Summary (Third Story) Part 3

Infiltrating again:

"Since we are mentally prepared for the possibility of battle after saving Knight Captain Lumark and Miss Emerada, then compared to running away, don't you feel that it is better to kill Lucifer directly?"

"I said so before. No one knows what Lucifer looks like. Currently, a strong power which can be used to deduce whether it is Lucifer cannot be felt as well."

"Isn't it the huge demonic magic from yesterday? That is the strongest power which has been felt so far."

“It might be, but it also might not be. Listen well, if we want to fight against Lucifer, we need accurate information. Currently, the information we have is not enough. We need to wait until we save Lady Lumark or Lady Etuva, then we can obtain accurate information on the inner workings of the Demon King Army and any information related to Lucifer……let’s stop the discussion here. We’re almost at the exit, stay quiet.”

In the underground prison:

“What……this, stench……”

“This might be……very bad……”

Olba broke out into cold sweat, mumbling softly.

Then, his premonition immediately hit its mark.

“We’re too late……huh.”

“Uuu……”

“This is sad……”

Olba looked downwards, Emilia and Guies also covered their mouths while frowning.

The underground prison, was filled with the stench of death and rot.

Saint Aire was a strong country after all, not only was their castle town vast, the scale of their prison was huge too.

But, human corpses of people who were thrown into the underground prison at an unknown time were piled up here.

“Women and, children also……damned demons……!”

Guies glanced at the iron bars next to him, one of them was a corpse dressed in noble clothing.

“Guh……”

Seeing corpses of ladies similar to her age on the other side of the iron bars, Emlia felt unprecedented anger.

(Skip)

They advanced carefully in this vast and complex underground prison, all of the prison cells held corpses without exceptions.

(Discovered Goodwin)

Because they were surprised that there were survivors, they did not notice at first, compared to those completely dried up corpses, the complexion of the knight was unexpectedly not too bad.

Even though his right leg and left hand were fractured, his complexion was not too bad, and he was not skinny either.

“Why did you come in?”

“Yesterday, all of a sudden……even though it was fine before, we were only troubled that we could not establish contact with the outside world, but the people who were interrogated suddenly, other than me, there are still a few other people……”

(Olba sensed that their infiltration may have caused these few people to be suspected, then it was discovered that there were two more people who were alive)

“Lord Olba! There are people here too!”

Emilia just noticed another pair of young male and female sorcerers.

They looked to be the same as the knight, thrown into prison after being injured.

They were questioned.

“I, I was the same as that knight. Originally at the management institute, and suddenly yesterday, was thrown into the prison by the demons……”

“Me too. Even though I am just a lowly ranked junior, I am barely considered a researcher……”

“This is bad. With this, our movements may have been sensed by them. Were other people brought in too?”

Compared to the knight, the injuries of the two sorcerers were light, but if the demons started to strictly clean the city because they sensed “the approach of strong holy magic users”, then the targets who needed help would increase.

“We’re not sure, but it should not be just us.”

“We have to save them quickly!”

(Olba expressed that this might be a trap to lure out the enemies)

“Their injuries are too minor. The numbers are too few for a purge. Even though they are unable to hone in on us, they could be bait to lure humans to come close to the imperial city. It is not good to stay for long. It is best to think that it is lucky that we are able to save them.”

“B, but……”

“Bear with it, Emilia. Once we die, the people who can still be saved will have no hope.”

Emilia gritted her teeth, but in a rare moment, she did not rebuke Olba. Was it because she saw large numbers of knight equipment in the mountains of bodies, so she also became cautious?

But very quickly, the male sorcerer voiced his thoughts.

“T, then……but, if so, there is no need to care about this, it’s just that……only Knight Captain Lumark, please save her!”

Olba and Guies widened their eyes, Emilia and the other two prisoners looked towards him in surprise.

“Lady Lumark is still alive?!”

“Y, yes. After being locked in here, I heard Knight Captain Lumark’s voice. It might be, coming from a deeper place……”

“Are you sure?!”

Hearing these, not just Olba, the knight also asked the male sorcerer.

“I think, I probably can be sure. Knight Captain Lumark and I can be considered as acquaintances……”

Olba stared at the young sorcerer who looked weak, thinking with all his might like he was going to burst a blood vessel.

“When was Lady Lumark brought in here, do you know?”

“Not that long. Most likely, around two weeks ago……”

“Two weeks, huh. Then she might be……”

She was locked in here quickly after Saint Aire fell. For a normal human, not eating or drinking for so long, she must already be dead.

“Thinking about it, I saw as well. Demons taking food and a leather pouch, walking into deeper prison cells. It is possible that there is water in the bag……”

“Guh……”

The female sorcerer spoke this time.

In prison for two weeks, if she did not eat or drink, she would definitely be dead.

But, if demons could understand Lumark’s value to human society, and had the intentions to keep her alive, then it was impossible for them to return without checking.

“If you are a knight under her command, you should be able to recognise Lady Lumark, right. We are not familiar with Lady Lumark. If the demons carried out some kind of disguise after capturing Lady Lumark, can you see through it?”

(The knight told them at the knight troops have some internal spells which could be used to determine identity)

“That is good. We will go and confirm Lady Lumark’s safety. My apologies, we have to ask all of you to accompany us for a while.”

Emilia, Guies and the three prisoners nodded firmly, walking deeper into the prison filled with the stench of corpses.

“It’s really deep.”

With regards to Emilia’s thoughts, Olba could only nod.

“The history is long, it seems that the side effect would be showing that the dark history as a country is even deeper.”

“The longer the history, the deeper the darkness, is that what it means?”

The young sorcerer mumbled softly, Olba nodded.

“It is a joke of an old man. Not worth mentioning.”

“No, I have never thought about such a thing, it feels enlightening.”

The young man looked weak, but when walking in a prison filled with the stench of corpses, his legs did not quiver, so it was probably someone who was mentally strong, as expected of a sorcerer who was allowed to enter the imperial city.

The Heartbreak Series

A Short Overview of Mark’s Love-life Throughout the Years

Mark-centric AU

Pairings: markhyuck, markten, yumark, renmark, jenmark, lumark, and side!johnten

word count: 3.4k+ words

written in bullet form cus I'm a lazy shit

unbetaed so read at your own risk lmao

very self-indulgent; i.e., I just really wanted to hurt Mark... sorry Mark

suggestive themes. contains swearing and mentions of alcohol, drugs, sex, and cigarettes. reader discretion is advised!

—————————————————————————————

MARKHYUCK - “The timing wasn’t right”

Mark didn’t hate Donghyuck when they first met; he just didn’t get him

Where Mark was quiet, respectful, and peace-loving Donghyuck was loud, brash, and always spoke what was on his mind without any regard to anyone’s feelings

But somehow everyone loved Hyuck and Mark couldn’t understand why

Until he took the time to properly get to know him

That was when he realized how irresistibly magnetic he was

He was funny in a crass way

And was horribly honest (for better or for worse)

He knew the best ways to rile people up but somehow always smiled his way out of any fight

And god was his smile beautiful

He made you want to be his friend with a single look

But understanding this didn’t mean understanding his own feelings (especially as a supposedly “straight” Catholic boy), so nothing truly develops between Mark and Hyuck aside from a weirdly tense friendship

Where Mark was constantly craving his attention

And Hyuck was constantly torn between giving it to him or staying away for his own sanity

They move away from each other after high school and end up in different universities so they don’t hear from each other again until years later

MARKTEN - “the mentor”

Mark was in his first year of college when he realized he might not actually be straight after all

Being away from his Catholic parents and being exposed to other types of people really helped broaden his horizons

But meeting Ten was the turning point

They kissed during a game of Truth or Dare and the next thing Mark knew was that Ten was bringing him home to his bed

The morning after a confusing but terribly pleasurable fiasco, Ten was laughing at Mark's naivety because

(1) he hadn’t left like most guys do after a one night stand and;

(2) Mark was a cuddler when he was drunk off his ass

A literal octopus that pouted and whined and unconsciously sucked hickies unto exposed pieces of skin he could reach overnight

Mark tries to make sense of what happened

He thought that he and Ten HAD to be a thing now after what they had done (and they had done a lot)

Mark doesn’t really understand yet the concept of a one night stand

Ten explains to him that they don’t have to date or be exclusive (Ten just doesn’t roll that way)

They can just keep things casual between them

But poor Mark just looked so lost

So Ten takes him under his wing

Ten spends the next few months helping Mark explore his sexuality

They try different positions and different roles and even have a few threesomes with Ten’s more regular hookup: Johnny

Ten goes to great lengths to teach Mark about the wonders of hookup culture and one night stands and bars with sexy drunk men and sex full of passion but without any of the strings attached

He does all this before sending him off into the world like a chick leaving the nest

But Ten is still Mark’s favorite go-to for a long time

He just never had a chance with Ten

Not really

Especially not with Johnny always around

YUMARK - “the first heartbreak”

Yuta was Mark’s first boyfriend

He was known around the school as the problem-kid in Johnny’s year because he had skipped and flunked so many classes, has repeated his 3rd year twice

He was also notorious for his black-painted nails, devil-may-care attitude, and smoking on school grounds

He was the type of boy your parents warned you to stay away from

And he was also Ten’s go-to supply for happy pills and alcohol whenever he hosted parties at Johnny's frat house

Mark had known about him for a while

Had heard about him from all his seniors and even his batchmates

But they first meet at Ten’s graduation party when Mark was in his 2nd Year

By then Mark had been well-taught and fully immersed in hookup culture and he wanted to try his hand on someone different like Yuta

He let the older boy take him to his dorm room which smelled of weed and cheap beer

This isn't really what Mark would call attractive

But somehow spending the night with Yuta made Mark crave more than was deemed healthy

Even Ten wanted him to stay away from Yuta after hearing he had slept with him

But something about his aura made Mark fall to his knees

So they spend a few more nights together wrapped up in each other’s embrace

Yuta showed Mark things that Ten didn’t dare (and that was saying something as Ten was quite kinky himself)

Mark would probably never disclose to anyone the kind of shit he and Yuta regularly got around to doing

But one of their tamer endeavors, and one that they particularly enjoyed doing, was fucking raw while they were high or drunk

During this time their inhibitions would be completely thrown out the window and their fucking would often border on dangerous

Like fucking on the windowsill with the window wide open

Despite living on the 3rd floor

On one of those blurry nights where their vision was hazy with smoke and their throats burned from liquor, Mark blurted out that he had fallen in love with Yuta

Yuta didn't exactly reply

But he pulled him into a kiss and they didn’t speak of it again

They spent most of their free time together making out, fucking, or chilling at Yuta’s dorm with bongs and Japanese horror movies after that

They skipped classes to go on long drives to the countryside where they’d happily fuck in (and occasionally on) the car

Mark picked up smoking as a habit after having been given the task of carrying around Yuta’s lighter and lighting his cigarettes for him

The hefty metal had ‘N.YUTA’ messily carved into its body with a box cutter

And carrying it around made Mark feel useful, powerful, and gave him a sense of purpose

But he didn’t realize how dependent he was becoming or how much of his life he was slowly ruining

Mark lived in this toxic relationship believing Yuta needed him

Yuta told him that he needed him

When in reality it was actually Mark who needed him to feel alive

One day the relationship took a nosedive when Mark finds Yuta cheating on him with Winwin

Mark had never known what rage felt like until that moment

Mark cried angry tears

And he threw the metal light out the window, shattering the glass and causing Winwin to wince at the probable cost of the damage

Yuta tried to apologize but ultimately they decided that the relationship had already died months ago

They weren’t good or healthy for each other

And this was apparently just an incident waiting to happen

So they broke things off without another word

Mark has long since forgiven Yuta but only because it was in his nature to do so

But despite having uttered the words “I forgive you” he still feels the sting of heartache every time he sees Yuta and Winwin together

Because he couldn’t deny that Winwin made Yuta better than he ever could

RENMARK - “the one that got away”

Renjun was unique and enigmatic in many ways

He was smart, funny, artistic, and had a great personality, but was closed off and always kept his guard up

He made Mark want to use big words he otherwise would never use on a daily basis (like Abstentious, Deleterious, and Grandiose) simply because it made him smile

And Mark really loved his smile

Renjun would tease him for it, saying Mark probably didn't even know half the words he spewed out

But Mark could handle a few hundred blows to his ego if it meant Renjun would look at him for a few seconds longer

Following his relationship with Yuta, however, Mark just couldn’t find it in himself to ask the damn boy out

Renjun wasn’t an overly affectionate person and was stingy with skinship

But that made it all sweeter when he would lean against Mark while laughing his loud, full-bellied laugh at something Mark had said

Mark avoided smoking around Renjun because he had said once that he didn’t enjoy the smell

And he had associated cigars to his absent father

So regardless of the heavy withdrawals he experienced, Mark eventually quit smoking altogether because Renjun was less likely to recoil from a hug if he smelled more like sweat than if he smelled of burnt nicotine

Mark thought that maybe this was Renjun making him better (the same way Winwin had made Yuta better)

This made Mark think "Ah yes, he's the one"

But he wasn’t

He knew he wasn’t because of one night where Mark invited Renjun to his dorm to watch a movie over some beer and popcorn

They watched Love, Rosie, because Renjun wanted something cheesy to cringe to

They weren’t cringing though

Instead, they had the lights dimmed and the movie set to a low volume as they seriously talked about what could’ve happened if Rosie and Alex had just confessed to each other sooner

Hearing Renjun’s thoughts made Mark want to confess his love for him sooner too

And it was a little deeper into the night when Mark was on his 5th bottle and Renjun was on his 3rd that Mark found himself staring at Renjun’s side profile

He allowed himself this moment to trace the boy’s features

From the soft curve of his eyebrow down to his dainty ears and his perfectly carved out jaw that was hidden underneath a smooth expanse of unblemished skin

When Mark looked up again, Renjun was staring back

A moment passed where Mark’s heart felt like it was trying to jump out of his chest

And then he was leaning in and kissing Renjun on the lips

It wasn’t rough or passionate

It was slow and all-encompassing

All sighs and deep breathes before a gentle brush of parted lips

Renjun ended up on Mark’s lap, his eyebrows furrowed and his eyes closed like he was scared to know if this was real or not

But he knew it was real because he was holding unto Mark’s shoulders for dear life while Mark held him gently by the waist

Renjun sleeps over at Mark’s that night but they didn’t go beyond soft kisses and lips against smooth skin

Mark thought it was perfect

But when Mark wakes up the next day, Renjun had left him a note on his bedside table that said

“Please, let’s not talk about last night.”

So they don’t

Because when they meet again, Jaemin was all wide smiles and sparkling teeth

“I finally got the courage to ask Renjun out, and he said yes!”

Mark tries his best to forget about his crush on Renjun because he still wanted him around and because he couldn’t ruin his friendship with Jaemin

Even if he couldn’t rest his hand on his lower back or press gentle kisses on his forehead, having him around was enough

Mark tells himself that this is enough

Seeing Renjun happy, even if it was in the arms of another, is enough

Renjun’s presence and his friendship is enough

It was Mark that wasn’t enough

MARKJEN - “the rebound”

Mark wasn’t enough for Renjun and Jeno wasn’t enough for Jaemin even when they both gave their all for the other

Mark still avoided smoking around Renjun but without the boy teetering him down his withdrawals became too hard to resist

So he allowed himself a butt or two whenever he was out, drinking his sorrows away with Jeno

Jaemin and Renjun’s relationship became their common denominator and they decided, after multiple bottles of whiskey and gin, that they should fall into bed with one another

Sex with Jeno was surprisingly rough and fast-paced

There was no love there; just calloused hands on his body and teeth marking his tanned skin

And a battle for dominance which Jeno was surprisingly unwilling to relinquish

After having been emotionally used by Jaemin for years, something snapped in Jeno that made him refuse to bend over for anyone ever again

And Mark, after having Renjun take everything he could give, was happy to let Jeno take the reigns and give it to him harder than anyone else ever did

They didn’t fall in love with one another

They never shared gentle kisses or whispered sweet things to one another

But between them bloomed a strong friendship that helped patch the emptiness in their hearts and anchored them back to the ground all the way until graduation

MARKHYUCK (2) - “it was you all along”

Of all the people Mark thought he’d meet on the bus, he didn’t expect Donghyuck to drop unto his lap (quite literally) during his commute home

After suffering multiple heartaches throughout his years in college, Mark thought himself too old to believe in fate or soulmates

He instead believed in the art that is hooking up with strangers he would meet at bars (Ten liked to call it “going back to his roots”)

(Not that Ten had any right to speak when he and Johnny were getting hitched in two month’s time)

But meeting Hyuck had him thinking that maybe fate wasn’t all just a can of baloneys

Even after Donghyuck had quite literally fallen unto Mark’s lap, he still had the audacity to get mad at the older boy for sitting in that particular seat that he could’ve fallen into without incident

And Mark could barely believe his ears at the words

Donghyuck was still just as brash and rude as he was when they were in high school

But the mischief in his eyes was aged, more mature, and less childish

Clearly, he's seen and experienced things and grown up a little

Even if it wasn't obvious

Perhaps they shared a few experiences between them?

Mark didn't have time to ponder on this as he was completely stunned to silence

Mark got up from his seat and offered it to the angry boy, who wasn’t really all that angry to begin with because he didn't know what else to do

Donghyuck was hesitant but he eventually sat down on the chair that Mark offered

It was the wrong decision though as Mark decided to stay rooted to his spot, right beside the seat, a little rigid and causing Hyuck some intense discomfort

Mark stared down at Donghyuck who was getting red from all the attention

After barking out a “what?” Mark asked the first thing that was on his mind

“Do you want to get some coffee with me?”

Of course, Donghyuck was taken aback

But the guilt of having stolen Mark’s seat and STILL acting rude despite all of that made Hyuck turn away with a blush high on his cheeks and a silent “sure” falling from his lips

The silent 'sure' that made a smile blossom on Mark’s face so Donghyuck didn’t really mind (to him, Mark was still as handsome as he remembered)

They stop by the first Starbucks they see and sit down to catch up

Mark finds out that Hyuck had just started working at the same company he and Johnny worked at

Donghyuck was also scheduled to move into the same apartment complex Mark lived in–albeit on a higher floor

Something pleasant wriggled inside Mark at the knowledge that he could potentially be spending more time with Hyuck depending on what department he'll be working in

He was pretty fucking convinced that it was fate paying him back for all the years of heartache he endured

Mark quickly offers Donghyuck his assistance for the move but the younger of the two quickly rejects, telling him that he was plenty capable of doing it on his own

Mark wanted to argue further but he feared it would scare Hyuck away, so he let it be and simply settled with buying the boy jjajangmyeon to celebrate getting his own place

They quickly become close friends after that and Mark takes Hyuck as his + 1 for Johnny and Ten's wedding

Mark decides that slow and steady was a good move for him and Hyuck

But what he didn’t anticipate happening was Donghyuck meeting Jeno at the wedding and seemingly becoming infatuated with the other boy

Mark was starting to think that life was a bit too unfair to him as he watched Hyuck and Jeno become fast friends

He wanted to scream and retaliate

And tell Jeno to stick to his lane as he was already flirting with Jisung anyway

But instead, Mark runs away wanting to spare himself another heartache

And Hyuck was left to stand there, baffled by Mark's sudden inattention

LUMARK - “it’s not me, it’s him.”

In a desperate attempt to forget about Hyuck, Mark starts sleeping around once again and meets Lucas

He was a boy his age who he likened to a giant puppy

A puppy he definitely shouldn't have met at a gay bar because he was much too kind for his own good

Lucas is as sweet to him as life is cruel

On the first night they met, Lucas had bought him a drink, danced with him on the dance floor, patted his back while he hurled into a toilet from drinking too hard, and then let him cry on his shoulder after bringing him back home (supposedly to make out so more but that didn't exactly go as planned)

A week later and Mark finds himself getting picked up after work every single day

He walks him home, regularly takes him out for dinner dates, and even asks him if he wanted to move in after his lease was up

All within a month of dating him

Once again Mark finds himself thinking that maybe Lucas is the one even if he knows very well that he didn't deserve the giant puppy

He couldn’t deny, however, that the relationship fell short

Lucas was very kind about this and asked Mark if maybe there was someone else

Technically there wasn’t

But really... there was

Because Mark couldn’t get the thought of Donghyuck out of his head

Mark blurts this out one night but hastily explains to Lucas that nothing is going in between him and Hyuck

Mark could never cheat on anyone after suffering so badly with Yuta

And Mark hasn't really been out to see a lot of his friends since he met Lucas (mostly to avoid Hyuck) so he didn't really have the time to cheat on him

He will just try harder to love Lucas as much as Lucas loved him is what Mark says

But all Lucas says in response is “I am not Donghyuck, and that's okay."

MARKHYUCK (3) - “say yes”

After the relatively peaceful breakup with Lucas (who agrees that they should at least remain friends), Mark is once again alone in the world

Mark and Donghyuck still work for the same company and still go home to the same apartment complex

But where Mark used to have Lucas pick him up and walk him home, he now had no one to spare him the uncomfortable small talk that Hyuck has insisted they have

“What happened to Lucas?”

“We broke up.”

“Oh.”

“What happened to Jeno?”

“He’s with Jisung.”

“Oh!”

Mark was clearly taken aback as he knew Jeno used to flirt with Jisung long before he even met Hyuck

Shouldn’t having them hang out make Donghyuck uncomfortable?

Just like before, Mark was deeply baffled by Hyuck’s behavior

“Is he not crushing on Jisung anymore?”

“He’s literally head over heels in love with him.”

“Then why’d you let them hang out?”

An uncomfortable silence envelops them that causes Mark to look up at Hyuck properly

“... cus they’re dating?”

Mark was confused by this

It’s true he hadn’t been with his friends in a while, completely focusing on Lucas and avoiding Donghyuck

But he couldn’t have possibly missed something this big

“I thought you and Jeno were dating? You two became so close after the wedding.”

This time it was Donghyuck who gave Mark a confused look (although his was laced with anger)

“Mark Lee you can’t be that fucking stupid! I was asking him to help me ask you out.”

A whirlwind of emotions washed over Mark as he stared at the angry boy in front of him

He found it more and more difficult to do anything BUT stare at Donghyuck; he just had that effect on him

He stared so hard that he didn’t realize they had reached their stop and that Donghyuck was getting off the bus

Mark allowed his body to move on autopilot as he helplessly followed Hyuck into their apartment building

As if he was watching his life pass by like a movie, Mark watched as Hyuck pressed (slammed) the button for his floor for him and allowed himself to be pushed out of the elevator when he had reached his supposed destination

But instead of walking to his apartment, Mark turned back around to the closed elevator and stared some more

When the elevator doors opened again to reveal one of his startled neighbors, Mark suddenly snaps out of his trance-like stupor

What the fuck was he doing out here?

As the moments before suddenly rush back to him, Mark makes a move for the elevator (even getting slammed between the doors as it was closing) to go to Hyuck’s apartment

He bangs on the door loudly, not bothering to put down his suitcase that was undoubtedly scuffing the wooden door

Donghyuck flings the door open angrily to yell at Mark but is instead cut off by the older boy’s voice

“What do you mean ask me out?”

Hyuck stared at Mark in disbelief for a moment before attempting to close the door on his face

Much to his delight and Donghyuck's anger, Mark’s reflexes were much faster than either of them knew and he easily pushes himself into the room to simply ask again

“Hyuck, what do you mean ask me out? You were going to ask me out?”

“Yes you big oaf, I was going to ask you out! But your stupidly small brain encased in that big forehead of yours decided to date Lucas before I even had the chance.”

Mark bites back a smile but ultimately fails as he backs Haechan further into the apartment

“Ask me now.”

“What?”

“Ask me out now.”

At this point, Donghyuck looks downright murderous but Mark pays him no heed as he keeps smiling down at Hyuck

“I’m not asking you out anymore, Mark Lee.”

“Then I’ll ask you.”

“No you won’t, I’ll say no.”

“Go out with me, Donghyuck.”

“No!”

“Why not?”

“Because I don’t want to anymore!”

“Please?”

Hyuck stared up at the soft, pleading look on Mark’s face and feels himself crumble for a moment

So he turns away from temptation, a scowl deepening the lines on his face

Mark only follows his gaze and smiles back at Hyuck

He could see the younger boy's resolve breakaway but he also knew that Hyuck was a stubborn bitch

So finally, in a last-ditch attempt to get what he hoped will make them both happy, Mark decides to take Donghyuck’s hands in his and looks directly into his eyes

“I know I was a dick, Hyuck.. but please give me one more chance? Go out with me...”

Hyuck seemed like he was at a loss for words

The last of his dignity and his inflated ego had been chipped away and he felt like he was suddenly laid bare in front of Mark

Completely and 100% at his mercy

So instead of dignifying Mark’s begging with a response, he looks away once more and gives him a curt nod

The small affirmation, however, lights up Mark’s face and he hurriedly throws his arms around Hyuck and pulls him into a tight hug before spinning him around once (completely ignoring the shrieking it caused)

When Mark pulls away, Donghyuck's face is flushed red and he's scowling at him once more

But that didn’t dim Mark's smile at all

Instead, he asks Hyuck if he could kiss him

And Donghyuck, of course, says yes

Hataraku Maou-sama! ES!! Summary (Third Story) Part 6

Saint Aire was the largest and strong empire in the Western Continent, even in the eyes of Emerada who commanded the sorcerers from here, she did not expect to see such a fierce battle between two human-like figures.

And it was still a fierce battle between a young lady, and a demon who could be said to be a young man just based on his appearance.

However, the instant Emilia’s sword and Lucifer’s fist impacted against each other strongly, the shock from this was enough to cause all the windows from the first to fifth floor, glass and wooden frame, to shatter from the internal pressure.

“Ugoh?!”

“Kuh!”

“Uwah?!”

This impact was much stronger than what Olba, Lumark and Emerada expected, the moment they stumbled, Emilia and Lucifer had broken through the main gate of the management institute to fly out.

“Mister Goodwin! Lord Olba! Miss Lumark and Mister Guies, leave quickly! The hidden passageway is behind the right storage room pillar!”

Hearing the sounds of intense battle from outside which was shaking the building, Emerada looked tense, and without waiting for their response, she ran out as well.

“Kyah?!”

Looking up towards the sky, the golden light of holy magic and the purple light of a demon, scattered greatly everywhere as if they were fireworks.

Emerada observed the situation with narrowed eyes.

Even though it was just a short ten plus seconds, just considering power and speed, it looked like Emilia had a slight advantage. After a few exchanges, the instances where Lucifer was thrown back formed the majority.

Even though it was only an instant, it could be believed, Emilia Justina was stronger than Saint Aire’s knights.

She felt that if it was a one on one fight, defeating Lucifer might not be a stupid dream.

But, Emerada’s expression was very stern.

“That child, how stupid is she going to be……!”

“Kuh…… you bastardddd!!”

“To be called that by a demon who is even worse than a bastard, I feel honoured!”

Lucifer shot one to two hundred purple heatrays towards Emilia, but Emiila deflected half of them away with one swing of the holy sword, she did not care that she was hit by the other half, slashing straight towards Lucifer.

“You will get hit?! Is your brain thinking normally!”

“There is no need to think normally when fighting with a demon!”

“This is nonsense! Hwohhhh!”

“!”

Emilia increased the power of the flames enveloping the holy sword on reflex.

Because Lucifer who had been using heatrays and fists to fight, conjured a weapon.

“A sword made from ice……?”

“Because I do not want to come into contact with your body with my body! Even though I really dislike this magic……come!”

“Ugh!”

Lucifer produced an ice sword which was as long as his own body.

Many demons who used weapons were seen before this, but the rain of blades formed by using Lucifer’s demonic magic, arm strength and speed, this was something Emilia had never seen before.

“Ugh, uh!”

“Look, look! Where is your confidence from just now! Hyahh!”

She could not keep up by defending with her sword, so she could only use the arm guard from the Evil Repelling Armour to block, at this moment.

“Ahhhh?!”

She had clearly blocked the impact, but the chill of the ice penetrated the arm guard, piercing into Emilia’s arm.

The ice did not pierce physically. But it clearly brought pain and impact to Emila’s flesh and nerves, and the surface of Evil Repelling Armour started to be corroded by ice which had separated from the sword.

“W, what is it!”

“This is a traditional skill which has been used in the Demon King Army since a long time ago!”

Even though there was no penetration and no person was sent flying, if the blade was touched, then their body would be destroyed from within.

Emilia added a flying spell to the Evil Repelling Armour, kicking the middle portion of the ice blade with her battle boots very hard, distancing herself from Lucifer.

Lucifer did not pursue her, carefully holding up the ice sword.

“......Very strong……but.”

“......Very strong……damn it.”

Emilia and Lucifer mumbled to themselves.

“This is not an opponent which I cannot win against……!”

“Taking out that kind of thing is against the rules……damn it!”

From Emilia’s feeling, Lucifer was truly strong.

Any loss in concentration would definitely result in a lethal injury, every attack contained power and terror which she had never experienced before.

But on the other hand, her own power did match up to Lucifer.

Even though it was not the same as the demons she encountered before, able to cut them into half as long as she took out the holy sword and Evil Repelling Armour, she did injure him, and it looked like he did not recover completely.

“And just now……you said something like it’s against the rules and I should die, right!”

Lucifer’s mumbling was heard by Emilia.

She channelled holy magic into her arm which was being corroded by the ice blade, feeling some warmth.

This was something she discovered by coincidence, as long as she channelled strong holy magic towards the corrosive demonic magic, it could be neutralised.

Of course, it was not difficult to imagine that the other side would likely have a hidden powerful move, but even if he changed his battle style and the techniques used, as long as his foundational power was still the original strength, she did not think the other party could turn on a switch to become extremely powerful.

“Heavenly Fang!!”

She squeezed out more power from the holy sword, piercing towards Lucifer.

The holy magic storm exuded from the holy sword and Emilia, suppressed Lucifer’s wings.

“Kuh……you, bastarddd!”

Demons who had wings were not as easily controlled by wings, but even so, it was enough to affect Lucifer’s movements.

“Light piercing explosion!”

Lucifer was going to escape from the holy magic storm, but the follow up attack blurred his vision, momentarily finding it difficult to maintain his stance.

“Ugohhh?!”

Lucifer’s left and right wings were suppressed, his body was pressed down in the sky, and his vision was robbed, why the door in the sky opened, Emilia channelled all her body, holding up the sharp blade, jumping up in the air.

“Lucifer……Demon King Army……my father’s, revenge……!!”

Emilia’s eyes were blood-red.

“Dieeee!!”

Seeing Lucifer conjuring the ice blade, Emerada’s eyes widened.

When fighting with the large numbers of demons who surged towards the capital, Emerada, Lumark, and the other knights and sorcerers, none of them were able to make Lucifer use that demonic spell.

And when looking up, even if Lucifer used this secret skill, he was still being overwhelmed by Emilia, and Emerada, who doubted Emilia’s capability at the start, also started to feel sincerely, it might be possible to kill Lucifer like this— at this moment.

“...... Emilia, is going to lose.”

“L, lord Guies?! Why have you not run away yet?!”

Appearing next to Emerada, was a pale Guies who was pressing against the side of his abdomen.

“Knight Captain Lumark, Lord Olba and Mister Goodwin have already left from the hidden passageway, do not worry.”

“I am not talking about this! Why did you st……”

Emerada suddenly realised.

The side of the abdomen which Guies was pressing down on, blood was still flowing.

“The injury was not large, but the amount of bleeding was abnormally large.

“That light……seems to be rather troublesome demonic magic. I……cannot be saved anymore. My whole body feels cold one moment, hot the next, and in extreme pain, like I have been poisoned. That light……cannot hit even once, ugh!”

“Lord Guies!”

Guies knelt down again, Emerada quickly supported him, but the icy feeling her fingers came into contact with, caused her to realise that death was imminent.

“Lord Guies, you said that Miss Emilia will lose, what does that mean? Even though I do not want to admit it, she has clearly suppressed Lucifer.”

“Emilia’s holy magic, is not enough.”

“Uh.”

“Holy sword and Evil Repelling Armour, if they are being used at full power like this, after a short while, all her power would be used up. Normally speaking, the current Emilia cannot even use one of them like this. And now.”

Guies looked up, seeing the moment Emila’s arm guard was being corroded by the ice sword.

“What is supporting her now, is……the hatred towards the demons, and the Demon King Army. She yearns to take revenge for her father, and her hometown, filled with hatred, kah.”

“Lord Guies!”

“Lady Etuva, please listen to my request……that child is……the hope of humans……even though she is not, well developed now, she is stronger than anyone, the hope, of humans……the relationship between he Church and the empire, is definitely not considered good, but my, last disciple, please……”

“Please hold on, Lord Guies! Don’t say stupid things anymore, maintain your consciousness! That kind of girl, I cannot take responsibility! If you, who had always been by her side and guided her, are lost, she will!”

“......Please. A short while later, Emilia’s, transformation will disappear, once it becomes like this……”

“Lord Guies!”

“Of course, if she can defeat Lucifer, right now, this is extremely fortunate. If it can be like this, I will have no regrets……”

“......!”

Emerada and Guies looked up into the sky, the final battle between human and demon was happening now.

“Dieeee!!”

The blade of the holy sword approached Lucifer’s head, after that,

“Heavenly Flam…..”

Just like the moment a raw egg accidentally fell to the ground.

“Huh?”

Accompanied by a soft sound, Emilia’s holy sword, Evil Repelling Armour, and golden light, was blown away.

Kpop fic recommandantions (through bingo)

I decided to do the fic rec bingo. Excuses in advance for the super long post.

And as time passes he finds himself not only enjoying the role he plays, but also the man who set out to tame him.

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/26742952/chapters/66452752#workskin

A fic I’d like to be a movie: licenced to survive & on melochony hill

Licenced to survive:

Ship: Woosan

Summary: “I’m San,” San says, voice dropping in a force of habit, something that has latched onto him from years of living the same humdrum life and his lifelong acquaintance with introducing himself to people who truly didn't give a fuck about him or anything he did, introductions serving merely as a necessary evil.The stranger looks at him for a brief moment before he tilts the disinfectant bottle into the ball of cotton, soaking it as he leans forward and presses it against San’s stitches. San grabs his wrist.“I’m gonna need a name before you treat me, pretty boy,” San says, making sure that it doesn’t come off sounding like a request.The stranger raises his head to meet his eyes, something like sadness pooling in his eyes, smudged black and purple distracting San for the umpteenth time this evening and whispers softly, “Wooyoung.”It’s a pretty name for a pretty face, but San is presented with an even prettier smile, shy and curling at the edges of his mouth, lilac field for his hair and cherry blossom cheeks, as he repeats it under his breathe

Or, San is working in the task force as a mercenary for an intergalactic law enforcement authority, and Wooyoung's the anomaly he doesn't see coming.

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/10884300/chapters/24186225

A pwp: you make my heart (go!)

Ship: Lumark

Summary: There's a lot you can find out during never have I ever, and for Mark that includes finding out your best friend is a virgin in every sense of the word.

A favorite side character: Heechul and Junmyeon in “On melancholy hill”

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/28147851/chapters/68968428

A fic with a trope that I don’t usually read: In the eyes of the beholder

Ship: Chanbaek

Link: https://yeolliepopday.livejournal.com/39203.html

A fic set in a different time: bluebirds in the moonlight

Ship: Chanbaek

Summary: Chanyeol stood at the front for three years. Morocco, Italy, Normandy, Germany and that folded paper was still there, inside his pocket. The photo that, even if crumpled and deprived of any color, showed a smile more dazzling than any rainbow. The smile of his first love, the beautiful florist that gave Chanyeol a reason to keep on fighting for his life. “Come back to me, Chanyeol” And he did, because he hadn't confessed his love yet.

A pwp that made me infested in the plot: late flights & city lights

Ship: Lumark

Summary: Mark doesn’t splutter, doesn’t choke- fights against the urge to tug Yukhei down by the collar of his shirt and wipe that irritatingly attractive smirk off of his face. He holds fast against the scarlet blush tinting his cheeks and ears, ignores the heat sweeping across his neck and collarbones. Stubborn and unyielding, Mark doesn’t want to give Yukhei the satisfaction of seeing his effect.Yeah, that lasts about 0.2 seconds, because Mark is so focused on not reacting that he doesn’t realize he’s not breathing.

Link: https://archiveofourown.org/works/17791538

A fic based on a book/movie: and miles to go before I sleep (ongoing)

Ship: Lumark

Summary: Mark Lee is, in theory, the perfect candidate to pilot a Jaeger. He's at the top of his class, his drop scores are second to none, and he can recite fifty ways to take down a kaiju with his eyes closed. There's only one problem: he can't Drift with anyone. All of that changes when a washed-up pilot from Hong Kong knocks on the doors of the Jeju Shatterdome.
