Getting Away From The Hunter - Chapter 9
Translator and Editor: Gina and Tea
At that moment, she felt a tremendous sense of freedom. Success. Her whole body was thrilled with the feeling of victory.
Hmph! So damn good!
Ravi’s lips twisted meanly at his foolish expression. She didn’t even bother to hide it because she no longer had to do it in front of him. Regan was already enthralled by her and will fall at her feet blindingly even if she’s just picking her nose.
“I think so.”
At the same time as the word of consent, the relationship was turned upside down. The hunter who chased her was reduced to a pet with a leash, and the hunted prey stood as the owner holding the leash. Her eyes, engulfed in madness, gleamed with a strange light.
‘You punk! I’ll make you roll as much as you tormented me!’ I will make you live a life where you would only live for me to suck fresh energy from you. Even if your memories return later, I will tarnish and dirty you so much you’ll not live without this demon’s body. The corners of her mouth twitched at the bad words she couldn’t say.
“That’s right. Don’t you remember anything?”
And, the day I use this guy fully– I’ll throw it away like trash.
Regan. You damn bastard who chased me all the way here.
“We decided to do it once a day starting today. Babe.”
‘You don’t know who you’re dealing with’
It was the moment when the demon, who had been persecuted for a long time, finally unsheathed her sword of revenge.

The library, when the exam period had not yet come, was quiet. It was because all the students who had to fill it were busy fooling around outside. The spring at Bell Academy was too beautiful to spend the youth that was just beginning to bloom surrounded by old books.
How wonderful the weather was today. The bright, clear sky beckoned, saying that it would be a loss to stay indoors on a day like this. That’s right. On a day like this, the guy sitting in the dark library was nothing more than an idiot.
‘Me too, I’m one of those idiots.’
Ravi watched humans enjoying picnics outside with envious eyes. After settling down at the library window early in the morning, the book in front of her did not turn even a single page. Ravi, who glanced at the handwriting smaller than an ant, turned her head away, as if frustrated. She felt dizzy just by looking at a professional book full of complex content. Ever since falling into this world, books made Ravi sick to the point of aversion.
‘I wanted a slave…’
On such a sunny spring day. She discreetly glanced at the culprit who had her locked in a dark corner of the library. Her hot, newly stamped slave was silently flipping through the pages, ignoring his Master, who had eagerly signaled to leave.
‘How can you come up with such a terrible idea?’
Regan seemed to have no talents in the world other than studying and was really behaving as his glasses would indicate.
No matter how much she created his memories and emotions; to be stuck in the library from the first date, even in name… he really was a dating virgin. Ravi actually witnessed the existence of a being she had only heard of as a legend, and her feelings were renewed. Of course, the reason why she was upset wasn’t because the ignorant demon hunter came to the library on their first date, not at all. Ravi had no intention of pretending to be Regan’s lover, so the place was just an option. But…
‘How is there such a fool who only reads when he’s in the library?!’ She was displeased by the fact that the ignorant hunter had neglected her for two hours.
‘No, if you go to a library, you shouldn’t be doing that, but trying to do some other stuff like this and that? How can you stay still with such an innocent, cute, and pretty boy by your side?’
While Regan was reading calmly in the library, Ravi shook her head, imagining some thrilling games that could be played in public places.
There’s no one there right now… As she looked around the empty library regretfully, she pitifully smacked her lips.
Ignorant of Ravi’s wild imagination, Regan focused his useless concentration toward an old book inside a BL novel that didn’t bring him any benefit. Thanks to the enchanting seal engraved so clearly on his neck, she had expected that he would be paralyzed by the sight of Ravi, but by this point, anxiety was rising.
‘…Should I touch him?’ In the end, Ravi, unable to bear her boredom, decided to try first.
Even if she took a side road, she only had to reach her final goal, and since that destination was satiety anyway, she wondered if it was really necessary to wait any longer.
“How much longer will we be reading books?”
Bleehg– Ravi felt nauseous inwardly at the sound of her clear, charming voice. The stickiness at the end of her words foreshadowed the fact that it would not be a very healthy intention even listening to the story behind it.
“…”
So what do you do to make it right? What do you want to do? It’s worth the questions.
Regan glanced at her and then began to read the book silently again.
‘Look at this bastard?’ The action that was close to dismissal offended Ravi. As anger slowly filled her, her hand on her chin was suddenly resting on the page Regan was reading. When he could no longer read, he turned his gaze to Ravi.
“We, stop reading books–”
Ravi, who had just put the book away, pulled her chair next to Regan. She wrapped her arms around his neck tightly. Ravi’s lips seemed to touch Regan’s ear as she injected her wicked imagination as if sharing a secret.
“Would you like to do something fun?”
From the hand running up his thigh, it was clear what she wanted. The energy that Ravi released stimulated the seal engraved on his neck.
Gliing~ The cute heart-shaped seal heated to red at the owner’s call.
Tak– Regan firmly hit Ravi’s hand.
Creak– Placing his feet on her chair, he shoved Ravi further than her original position.
“…Don’t act like this in public places.”
“…?!”
Regan firmly expressed his rejection and shook off his thigh loudly. Even after doing so, he frowned at her as if displeased, looked straight at Ravi, and scoffed.
“Don’t be too clingy. I have no inclination to fumble about with a bastard in broad daylight.”
“Ah?”
“Stop your lewd thoughts and read a book.”
“…Ah?”
After turning down Ravi, he kindly pushed a book in front of her. Faced with the unexpected development, Ravi couldn’t help but stutter the same word continuously.
She checked the seal she had placed on him, thinking that something might have gone wrong, but the one engraved by Ravi was still glowing, suggesting that it was successfully activated. If the charm was directly activated up to this point, no matter how hard a human being he was, he had to pant and cling like a dog. However, the man’s side profile as he continued reading with a calm face was as determined as if he felt no arousal.
‘How could that be?’ Ravi, engulfed in shock, stared blankly at Regan.
She didn’t give up until the very end and tried impressing spells on the seal one after another. Look this way. Come closer. Call my name. However, even after giving orders one after another, Regan remained calm.
‘I can’t do this either?’ Ravi, who was stubborn to the core, decided to try a stronger command, unable to control her heart. Her eyes gleamed like a beast’s for a moment.
The moment her pupils were torn vertically–
“…”
Regan nodded his head a few times, and fell asleep right away, leaning against the chair.
Phew– After finally getting the result she wanted, Ravi sighed in relief.
‘It looks like it became like this.’ After confirming he was completely asleep, Ravi got up from her seat. The devil sneaked up to the hunter, lifted his collar, and carefully checked the seal she had engraved on him. The cute heart-shaped seal was glowing red in response to Ravi’s focusing magic for a while.
“Obviously it was imprinted properly…”
Confirming that the seal was working properly, she tilted her head.
“Why isn’t it working?”
Ravi’s face hardened grimly at the uncommon phenomenon. I thought that I would be able to do what I wanted with Regan if I just put a seal on him, but I don’t know if his mental strength is stronger than I thought or I lack mana, he has been just cold the whole time. No, actually, he was so cold toward her that she felt he was more affectionate before stamping the seal on him. As if he was rejecting her with his whole body.
“Ridiculous.”
Looking down at his sleeping face, her face was full of outrage.
‘Ha, really. Why are you rejecting me? Why did you say that…’ She didn’t really do anything, but she felt like she was already dumped, thus she kept fanning herself.
‘No, well, you think I’m doing this because I want to do that with a hunter? Just because I’m a demon doesn’t mean any human will do. I also have a preference. If it weren’t for these unavoidable circumstances, I don’t think there would be a devil blind enough to do such things with a gloomy nerd like this…’
Making excuses while finding fault in him, Ravi’s gaze touched on Regan’s half-opened lips as he slept.
No way… Mumbling unspoken words, she lost her gaze to a place that looked like a bright red fruit. Because of his defenseless, exposed lips, the sweet energy she had tasted just a few days before came to mind. Ravi approached him as if possessed, smacking her lips like a predator in front of its prey.
There might be… grumbling, leaving more room to doubt than before, her gaze stuck to Regan. It was because she knew about the greatness hidden behind his plain clothes and thick glasses.
…Gulp– Thinking like that it’s a bit… It may be a little tempting. Ravi swallowed and glanced again to see if Regan was sleeping properly. She, who was sneaking closer to him while holding her breath, suddenly realized that she was naturally wary of him.
‘Why am I wary of him? As long as I am the Master, everything is fine. If I don’t want to skip meals then that’s it. So I’ll do whatever I want.’
Having made up her mind, Ravi tilted his face, which had been turned helplessly, with her two hands.
Huuh~ She lowered her face, exhaling hot breath. As the distance between their lips drew closer, the faint scent of food leaking out blurred Ravi’s mind.
I’ll just taste it for a second. Just for a moment…
