I was reborn.
In my previous life, I was the master's, Senior Brother's, Second Senior Brother's, and Junior Brother's devoted simp. I spent ten years serving them diligently, but they didn't appreciate me at all.
They paid me no mind, never returned my feelings, always looked down on me, treated me with contempt, and even forgot about me, leaving me lost in a secret realm where a magical beast ate me in one bite.
Given another chance, I picked up a clever young demon as my strategist. With his help, I'll reclaim everything that belongs to me!
This time, I'll make them regret everything!
"I won't follow you around anymore, Master!"
"Don't even think about skipping class."
"I will! You never teach me properly. You teach me different things from what you teach Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, and Junior Brother! You treat me unfairly! I'm not going to class anymore!"
"...You little menace. That's because you've studied for ten years and still haven't established your foundation."
"I'm not buying you snacks anymore, Senior Brother!"
"...What... are you... making a fuss about now..."
"Ever since Senior Brother got that sword, you haven't given me money for snacks! You're playing favorites, Senior Brother. I hate you!"
"I can barely feed myself... How am I supposed to have money... Come back... Here's ten coins..."
"Second Senior Brother, I'm not going to be your devoted simp anymore! I'm not going to be your hype man and throw flowers for you when you make your entrance!"
"No, don't, Junior Sister! I'll be so embarrassed when I try to look cool and no one cheers for me. Keep simping for me~ Please~ I'll go steal Senior Brother's money and buy you new clothes!"
"Junior Brother, every time we go on a trial, you call me stupid and boss me around! I can't take it anymore! I have a new partner now. We're through!"
"Then stop stealing my mount! Give me back the dragon!"
"You're a fox yourself. Why do you need a mount? If I'm not riding you to get around, of course I'll ride it instead. Leave me alone. Shoo, shoo, shoo!"
And just like that, they regretted everything!
Of course, in the end, I failed to change my ways!
Because I realized that being a devoted simp is still the best!
"How could you do this?!"
The young demon who had helped me come up with plans all along the way was furious that I'd given up on him!
I knew he was unhappy that I'd quit halfway, but
"Being a devoted simp is just so much fun!"
I couldn't resist, so I surrendered!
I thought my reasoning was perfectly sound, but after hearing me out, the young demon was still furious. He even made a very unreasonable demand:
"Since we're friends, let me enjoy myself too!"
"?"
"I want to be your devoted simp too!"
The young demon said.
...Good heavens, he has such ulterior motives!
