The author shamelessly labels this as a 「deep tragedy」 story......
however...... this is just a short love story.

For the sake of survival, I kissed the protagonist and we became partners.
But I just can’t believe that the ‘kind’ protagonist in the original novel was all an act!... more>>

“If I kill you, this partner relationship will be broken.”
“You can’t do that. We’ll both die at the same time.”

We were tied together by a tightly shared fate.
Sharing the same wounds, the same pain, the same life and death.
Plus, we had to have physical contact for the symbiosis?

When I found out about his mask, he was cruel to me with no hesitation.
Unreasonable amounts of work, unreasonable demands…
Why can’t I be with another man?

“I’ve figured it out! How to break this partner relationship!”

Now that my life would be safe, all that’s left is to get away―

“I have no intentions of breaking it.”
“…pardon?”
“Just like you, I’m also curious.”

He held me in his arms and his gaze slowly descended to my lips.

“I’m curious about to what extent our pain will be shared.” <<less

As if laughing at my thoughts,

Kid came to see me on the first night.

“Is that what they call pretending to be asleep? Your acting is pretty good. Now, if you don’t wake up in the count of three—”

“Eek, I’m awake!”

He said that if I wanted to live, I needed to seduce his other personality, the high priest “Seniel”. He said Seniel would keep me alive as long as I became his most prized thing and his weakness.

But once I’ve become his weakness, will he spare me? Kid said he would kill me in due course to step on Seniel.

In the end, it’s a matter of dying now or dying later.

***

In the morning, Seniel was in tears.

“It’s all my fault.”

I kind of comforted him in order to survive. The only way I could live was to pretend to get close to him and run away while he was off guard. <<less

“Shall I kiss you first, Mage Tower Master?”

At that moment, only one thought crossed Enya’s mind:

That he has finally gone insane. <<less
