QT: The Secondary Character Counterattacks (Obey Me! characters x Reader)

Arc 3. The Cursed Witch Conquers the Wild Prince (Diavolo x Reader) Chapter 5

"...mhm..."

[Host, don't fall asleep. The store supplements are effective in keeping you in optimal shape even without food, but isn't the grass too cold?]

"Hush for a moment, I need to think."

[Oh.]

"And little bird?"

[Yes, Host?]

"Thanks."

If the system could blush, its face would overheat right now. It wanted to do a cartwheel. Host praised me, Host praised me!

You kept your eyes closed.

You reminded yourself: You were dead. You can't go back home, not yet. You have to keep calm. Breathe. Let the oxygen circulate back into your brain. Don't lose concentration and think.

You breathed out, "Heh..."

[Host?]

"Say, is there a possibility that there are forces that your anti-psychic field cannot shield against?"

[Answering the Host, because you are a novice, this system is still limited in its ability to protect you. I can sense every magnitude of powers but I do not have the capacity to counteract them. To wit, the only reason I could shield you from Lilith's earlier interference was because the flow of magic was low.]

"So that's how it is..." You rubbed your forehead.

[As expected, my Host finally figured out what happened!]

"Well, this is just a hypothesis, but I think Diavolo worked his powers on me. His magic trick caused the hormonal imbalance."

[I see, I see.]

But still, you pondered, how come the system didn't sense the interference?

"There is an alternative possibility," you said, standing up. "Maybe I really did break for a second."

[Not possible!] Uwak shook its head. [My Host is a genius, brilliant, uncrackable, immovable pervert!]

Its tone was pure adulation.

You couldn't bring yourself to get angry.

[But Host, allow this system to express its surprise. I did not expect that spoiled demon prince to actually back away, it was beyond prediction that he would agree to your request.]

"It's precisely that he is a spoiled demon prince that he did what he did. Someone like him who was born with wealth, power, looks and charm, must lead an utterly, completely, despairingly boring life. If anything, this is the first time in a long while since he has felt a challenge. That bastard probably plans on watching me fall into despair."

[What do you plan to do now?]

"I'm going to live my life of course," you replied, raising a hand towards the moon, "as the beautiful, untouchable, incorruptible 'cursed witch' who lives by the river."

At that moment, with the soft glow of the moon all over your figure, the system nodded its head. My Host is the greatest!

"Mm, but I still have to find out person X's identity." That was the most problematic task. With the danger of getting influenced by magic and even murdered by demons, not to mention the time limit, you can't continue with your plans. Inciting the interest of all three men at the same time was easy, but you can't expect their affections to bloom to the fullest potential without choosing.

"Oh, well."

You clenched your fist and headed back to the house. "I'm sure it'll work out in the end."
