I woke up late at night.

It is not even morning yet. Moreover, my senses were telling me that it has not been all that long since I actually fell asleep after having so much amber-colored fun with Roxanne and Sherry wearing their Amber Necklaces, so I will just go to the toilet real quick and then go back to sleep as soon as possible in order not to disturb Roxanne and Sherry. After all, I do not want them to be sleep deprived because of something as simple as me going to the toilet in the middle of the night.

I have to admit that I might have overdo it last night. I mean, Roxanne, Sherry and I are always hustlin’ and bustlin’ in the sheets as if there was supposed to be no tomorrow, but what we did yesterday, or I guess I should say a few hours ago in order to be accurate, was especially intense, even for my Sex Maniac-enhanced standards.

I moved my lower body so much that even now I was still sweating like a pig, and because I moved around and 「exercised」so much I had to drink a lot mor water than usual in order to keep myself properly hydrated, which in turn caused excess water that my body did not need to keep functioning the way that it was supposed to accumulate itself in my bladder, which began to feel as if it was about to explode.

And all of that because of the impact that the sight of Roxanne and Sherry wearing Amber Necklaces had on me. I did not know that amber could be so powerful and terrifying at the same time. Maybe I should watch myself from now on in order to not get consumed by my carnal instincts and urges whenever Roxanne and Sherry are going to be wearing the necklaces? Or perhaps it would be better to have them only wear them at home so that they would not end up provoking any other guys just in case amber worked at other me the same way it worked on me?

「Mmmnnnn…. master?」

Oh, it would seem that Roxanne also woke up because I woke up. How cute of her. Unnecessary, but still cute.

「I am just going to go to the toilet for a bit, so feel free to go back to sleep and do not mind me.」

「No, it is not a problem at all. But if you want to go to the toilet, then you are going to need a candlestick. Here you go.」

Even though Roxanne looks as if she was still sleepy, she prepared a candle and a candlestick for me to use. I gratefully took them from her and ignited the candle with with magic.

On a side note: magic of this world is really amazing and immensely useful for the battle purposes, but when it comes to such simple day-to day things like lightning a candle, it was surprisingly difficult to utilize properly without accidentally causing a large scale fire, because as far as I know there exist no spell that would allow me to create only a little bit of fire ideal for the purpose of lighting up a candle, so I had no choice but to create a 「Fire Wall」 in an empty space next to the bed and light the candle off of that.

Needless to say, the amount of fire created by a 「Fire Wall」Spell is way too excess for my needs, and throughout the entire process I was praying for the fire to remain relatively calm so that the occasional spark that was flying out of it and into the air did not end up hitting the bed, bedsheets or anything else that would start burning brightly in an instant.

It took me a good while due to my cautiousness, but when I finally managed to tight the candle, it was high time for me to head downstairs to the toilet. But you know what?

As I was making my way there, I definitely could not help it but to notice how creepy my own shadow was in the dim swaying light the illuminated the floor, walls and the ceiling of the corridor and the stars, and the more I looked at it, the better I understood why in the old days, before they invented electricity and the lightbulbs people would believe in the existence of ghosts.

If I did not know any better, I would probably believe that the shadow on the walls was not my own, but that it was actually a demon lurking in the darkness, waiting to drag me down into the dark abyss together with him……

Yeah, right. It is a good thing that no such thing as ghosts exists and they will not come to hunt my sorry ass. However, the further I went, the more I could feel this feeling of uneasiness and dread washing over me, almost to the point of making me feel sick.

Come on, Michio, do not be a scaredy cat now. You have nothing to be afraid of, so just go to the toilet, do the deed and come back upstairs to where Roxanne and Sherry are waiting for you in your warm bed.

I reached the kitchen, where the surroundings that were dimly lit by the swaying light of the flickering candle only increased my feelings of uneasiness and despair, and somehow, my shadow became even more disturbing, even though there was no reason for it to be like that. I mean come on, this is my own shadow, so why am I having shivers and goosebumps as if it really was some kind of monster that seemed to be stalking me……

No, wait a second.

This….. this is really not my shadow.

Something is here. Something is moving around in the kitchen, on the border of the candle’s light and the darkness that the rest of the house is bathed in right now. There is something there together with me right now! Something pitch black, which prevented me from seeing exactly what it was. I knew that this is probably going to be a bad idea, but I could not have taken my eyes off it, and so I have chosen to stare at the thing. I stared at it.

This whole situation felt so surreal to me that I could not believe that it was happening. There is a strange black creature in my house wandering around my kitchen in the dead of the night. Some kinda strange being that moved around so fast that it almost looked as if it was flying instead of moving along the ground.

I thought that there was no way for the creatures such as ghosts, demons and devils to exist, but I have forgotten that this was the assumption that I made based on the fact that these things did not exist in the modern-day Japan of my old world, but this world is not modern-day Japan.

This is a fantasy world based on medieval Europe, and what is a world in a fantasy setting without ghosts and demons in it? Not a very interesting world to many people, I am willing to bet. And because of that, this demonic monster that plunges the hearts of all people into the depths of horror is now here with me, and I do not know what I should be doing with it!

What should I do? Should I stay? Should I run? Maybe I should run. But what if it sees me and starts chasing after me? Am I going to have enough time to take out Durandal and engage it in combat? But what if this thing is going to have the properties of a ghost, which is going to render it invulnerable to physical attacks? Should I just fight it with magic then?

But if I fight it with magic, there is a very likely possibility that the house is going to get caught in the crossfire and will get badly damaged!

If only such nightmarish creatures did not exist! But unfortunately for me, they exist. They are one hundred percent real, and I am looking at one of them right now. The deadliest of creatures that man could ever think of. A messenger from hell. Black lightning.

As I was sitting around like an idiot doing nothing to deal with the danger that has invaded the safety of my home, the black thing moved. Just from it skittering about the kitchen I was convinced that it has to be quite fast, but what I saw just now absolutely blew my goddamn mind.
