I Got Engaged to a Blind Duke Episode 138

Was the Demon Beast really falling asleep listening to the fairy tale she was reading? Was this actually possible?

She quietly watched Bunny Bunny with eyes filled with surprise and anticipation.

She thought it had only evolved into a human sleeping pill, but had it upgraded to a demon beast sleeping pill too?

When she stopped reading the fairy tale to stare at Bunny Bunny, Bunny Bunny’s eyes snapped wide open again and stared at her intently.

“Just keep sleeping like you were. Please.”

Bunny Bunny blinked its eyes with a fully awake expression and tilted its head.

Marine had no choice but to lower her gaze and start reading the fairy tale again.

Sleep. Sleep. Keep sleeping.

As she read while sneaking glances at Bunny Bunny, she could see its eyelids gradually closing again.

Marine read a bit more of the fairy tale before pausing briefly.

Then Bunny Bunny’s eyes snapped wide open.

“Haah… Does this have a Sleep Inducing Effect or not?”

Marine let out a deep sigh and just kept reading the same content repeatedly without pause.

Since she had started this to stay awake anyway, she planned to see who would win until sunrise – that Demon Beast or herself.

The sun rose.

Her throat was already dry from not being able to drink water, but after continuously reading the fairy tale book, her throat felt like it was burning up.

Water. I want to drink water.

Marine sneaked a glance at Bunny Bunny sleeping peacefully.

She had won.

Bunny Bunny had been sleeping without waking up for quite a long time.

Actually, she was confused whether Bunny Bunny fell asleep because she read it a fairy tale, or if it just slept because it was night.

One thing was certain – she hadn’t slept a wink, while that Demon Beast was sleeping soundly.

Marine carefully got up from her spot with a tired expression.

Now was the perfect timing to escape from Bunny Bunny.

She pressed her back against the rock and moved stealthily like a cat, watching the sleeping Bunny Bunny.

Even while going halfway around the rock, Bunny Bunny remained quietly asleep.

Freedom!

Marine grabbed her skirt hem high and quickly ran forward.

Let’s never see each other again! Rabbit!

* * *

She walked aimlessly without knowing where to go.

The blazing sun felt increasingly scorching.

Marine tried to swallow her saliva, but her mouth was so dry that no saliva came out.

If there were any cacti around, I’d cut them open and drink from them.

Screech.

At that moment, a chilling sound came from beside her.

Marine quickly stepped back while glaring at the Demon Beast approaching her.

The creature approaching with its poison-red tail raised high and large pincers digging through the sand was a scorpion-like Demon Beast – a Scol.

As the human-sized Scol approached, her legs trembled involuntarily.

Marine took a deep breath and pulled out her Three-Section Staff, preparing for attack.

Could she defeat this Demon Beast?

Beads of sweat on her forehead dripped to the ground.

The highly tense Marine tried her best to recall Master and Elmis’s teachings.

She put strength in her lower body and prepared for the Scol’s attack.

Just as the Scol that had approached near her was about to grab her with its large pincers, white fur suddenly appeared in her vision.

“Grrrowl!”

It was Bunny Bunny.

She wasn’t sure if it was the same one she’d spent the night with or a different one, but Bunny Bunny stood blocking her path.

Screech!

“Grrrowl!”

The two Demon Beasts glared at each other fiercely in a standoff, and soon a fight broke out.

The furious Bunny Bunny’s rabbit teeth grew longer and longer until they reached down to its torso.

Bunny Bunny leaped up and mounted the Scol, then stabbed the Scol’s body with its teeth.

The Scol fought back, stabbing various parts of Bunny Bunny’s body with its sharp spear-like tail.

Marine, pushed aside by the two Demon Beasts’ fierce battle, hesitantly walked further away.

Did Bunny Bunny just help me?

Or is it angry because I ran away?

The thrilling battle between the two Demon Beasts ended quickly.

It was Bunny Bunny’s victory.

Something she’d read in a book suddenly came to mind.

Bunny Bunny looked cute, but it was quite a high-level predator among desert Demon Beasts.

Could she defeat that powerful muscle rabbit?

Bunny Bunny tore the Scol into pieces and ate it.

Marine’s body froze in terror.

She stood there watching Bunny Bunny with anxious eyes.

Am I next?

At that moment, Bunny Bunny suddenly turned its head toward her.

Marine was startled when her eyes met directly with Bunny Bunny’s.

Bunny Bunny seemed to be looking at her with resentful eyes, as if asking why she had run away leaving it behind.

“I didn’t run away, it’s just that you were sleeping so soundly…”

Marine muttered excuses before stopping, finding herself ridiculous.

Bunny Bunny turned its head away again and focused on its meal.

It sure eats well.

To safely escape this time, she watched Bunny Bunny and took a step, but Bunny Bunny looked at her again.

“Why? What?”

Bunny Bunny chewed enthusiastically while watching her movements like surveillance.

“Hey, is it only tasty when you eat? I’m hungry too. And thirsty too.”

Marine now openly attempted to converse with the Demon Beast.

At her words, Bunny Bunny kept perking up its ears, but didn’t stop eating.

“Yeah, yeah. Eat a lot.”

Marine plopped down on the sandy ground. Even if she ran away, that creature would probably follow her again.

She blankly watched Bunny Bunny’s meal and swallowed her saliva.

To drool watching a rabbit eat lobster(?), she felt pathetic.

Marine gathered her strength and stood up again.

She should look around to see if there were any cacti.

Then Bunny Bunny narrowed its eyes again and followed her movements with its gaze.

Only after seeing the look filled with determination not to let her go if she ran away did Marine realize.

She was Bunny Bunny’s Emergency Rations. Or maybe a lunch box.

So, it had no intention of eating her right now, but was keeping her alive to eat when hungry.

Marine swallowed her tears inwardly and spoke boldly to Bunny Bunny.

“I clearly said I don’t taste good. And right now I’m getting even less tasty because I’m thirsty. Water. I said I want to drink water. Where is something like a Deep Desert Spring!”

Marine shouted loudly and pretended to drink water.

Bunny Bunny perked up its ears, then chewed thoughtfully before suddenly bouncing away.

It was in the opposite direction from where she was standing.

Marine stared blankly at Bunny Bunny’s retreating figure.

Bunny Bunny looked back at her as if telling her to follow.

“You want me to follow you?”

Bunny Bunny ignored her words and bounced forward.

Marine pondered with a serious expression.

If she ran in the opposite direction now, that creature would probably come looking for her again, right?

She didn’t know the way anyway, so she might as well follow for now.

And so began the dangerous companionship between Marine and Bunny Bunny.

* * *

Bunny Bunny bounced ahead leading the way, while Marine trudged along behind.

Was this really okay? Even if she had become the rabbit’s portable lunch box (?), shouldn’t she at least try to escape?

Her worries were deepening.

Bunny Bunny’s round bouncing bottom looked exactly like the rabbit she used to raise. Though all rabbit bottoms are probably round.

[Where Do Monsters Come From]

Count Blusher, the historian who called evolution theory utter nonsense in that book, was wrong.

According to the original story, monsters had indeed evolved to adapt to their environment.

No one knows when monster evolution began.

However, monsters evolved according to their ecological environment and came into conflict with humans.

Why? Because humans tried to kill monsters.

Both humans and monsters were fighting each other for survival.

Had that Bunny Bunny also been an ordinary rabbit before?

Lost in useless thoughts, she walked on the sinking sand.

Bunny Bunny would lead the way for a while, then stop and wait when she fell behind.

The sunlight grew increasingly intense, making it impossible to open her eyes properly.

Marine could only see ahead after creating shade with her hand.

It could just go alone. Did it like its lunch box that much?

Bunny Bunny tapped the sand with one foot as if complaining about how slow she was.

Look at that arrogant attitude.

She would never dream of a rabbit-like husband again. Wolves were definitely better than rabbits.

A reliable and seductive wolf like the Duke was much better.

I miss you, Lord Gerald.

Just as tears were about to well up thinking of the Duke, Bunny Bunny snorted.

That hateful rabbit. It wouldn’t give her a moment to be sentimental.

Bunny Bunny bounced forward again.

Marine gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at the back of Bunny Bunny’s head as she followed behind.
