“Is this the Demon King’s Castle?”

“Of course! Isn’t it awesome?!”

The Demon King’s Castle, which we arrived at under Lily’s guidance, looked similar to the imperial palace we had seen when we visited the empire before, but was different.

If that place focused on splendor, this Demon King’s Castle seemed to focus on grandeur.

In addition, unlike the entire palace, which is golden in color, the one built with dark-colored materials like obsidian has a certain elegance to it.

“That’s cool… .”

But, thinking about how proud Lily would be if she heard this, I just muttered quietly, my hands and feet shaking.

But somehow, I was startled when the answer came from an unexpected place, as if someone had heard what I said.

“That’s right.”

“What! Did you hear that?! I was sure I whispered!”

I didn’t use the prefix?

Is it possible for me to know the true feelings of the priest and I, who have such a close relationship?

As I was thinking about that, Anonymous added with a look of bewilderment.

“… You certainly spoke softly, but didn’t you whisper in my ear? ”

“Ah.”

Yeah, that’s right.

As you can see from the anonymous words, I was currently being carried by the anonymous.

I guess my energy was drained more than I thought, because my legs gave out and I couldn’t move as I wanted.

Of course, if you put your mind to it, you can make it move… .

‘What an opportunity I got!’

You can’t just blow it away like that, right?

It was one of the few opportunities to stick close to the nameless one.

Because the disciple only wants to hold my hand.

“Ha-rang, are you sure your leg hurts? You look too happy for that to be the case?!”

“Huh. Stop worrying and just follow the directions properly.”

“What are you doing~”

Lily let out a snort of laughter, patted my back with a sinister smile, and then quickly moved away.

Tsk, I don’t like it anyway.

“I think I heard something hurtful?!”

You’re so quick to notice things for no reason.

“Harang?!”

“I didn’t think about it.”

In front of the door where we arrived while bickering.

I swallowed hard and felt nervous at the sight of the Demon King I was about to meet.

…what would it look like?

“Ta-da! This is it!”

Lily opened the door, humming a little bit, and a pink room was revealed.

… pink?

“This is my room!”

“Why did you come here?!”

“I told you I’d show you around the Demon King’s Castle! Then, of course, the first order of business is my room!”

… Certainly, there are those who came here for the purpose of sightseeing at the Demon King’s Castle.

“Didn’t the Demon King call me?”

“Right?”

“But, is it okay to procrastinate like this?”

Lily, who had been rolling her eyes here and there as if she was thinking about it, added with a final ‘Ah’.

“You don’t have to rush! The Demon King hasn’t even woken up yet, so it’s more like, “Come sometime~”!”

What?

“… Then, there was no need to come today?”

“Ugh… That’s true, but if you hadn’t come today, wouldn’t you have come next time?”

Well, even if the Cheonma Shingyo is here, it is ultimately the Demon King’s territory.

I can’t stay long.

Moreover, most of those who were in the Cheonmasin Church said they would come to the mountain range where I would stay.

“… That’s true.”

“That’s why we take a look like this first!”

Indeed, Moo-myeong nodded at Lily’s truly convincing words and opened his mouth.

“Master, what are you trying to get past?”

“Huh?”

“You shouldn’t confuse the objectives. Wouldn’t it be better to first go to the room of the one called the Demon King, and then look around during the remaining free time?”

Hmm, that might be right.

“Then, Lily.”

“Huh?”

“Let’s just take a quick look and go.”

At my words, Lily nodded with sparkling eyes, and Moo-myeong looked back at me with a puzzled look.

“Yeah!”

“Master?”

… It’s a little too close because it’s being carried.

I answered with as calm an expression as possible.

“Why are you working so hard? The day is long.”

More than anything, I’m curious about the pink room right in front of me, right?

What on earth could be in Lily’s room, the succubus?

“Hehehe.”

“… I don’t know.”

“I feel like I’m being looked at strangely… Come take a look!”

I coughed at Lily’s overly welcoming welcome.

“Ahem, then excuse me.”

Lily’s room, which I looked around for a while, was more ordinary than I had expected, except that it was pink whether I looked at the side or the top.

Except that there’s a suspicious looking door.

“Can I come in here too?”

“Oh! There… .”

Lily’s expression seemed hesitant.

He thought he had arrived at the right place, smiled sinisterly, and opened the door before even hearing an answer.

“Harangniim!!”

“Hahaha! What on earth are you hiding… .”

what’s this.

He turned his creaking head at the sight of the room and looked at Lily, demanding an explanation.

“Oh my gosh… Lily is so embarrassed… .”

Lily just hugged my blushing cheek and hugged me tightly, not giving me the answer I wanted.

Feeling slightly dizzy, I slowly looked at the pictures placed in the room.

There are some differences because they were drawn by people… but here, there, above and below Jack, there are portraits of Jack drawn all over.

There’s even a small heart drawing next to it.

I was drooling in horror inside.

“What… .”

“Oh, how is it? Can you feel my love?”

Lily came up to me and began introducing each painting as if she was bragging about it.

This is a picture of the first speech, this is a picture of training, this is a picture of running away from myself…

“… I don’t know where to start.”

“Oh my! Is my love that cool?!”

“No, it’s scary… .”

“Huh?!”

Lily, who looked genuinely shocked, thumped me on the shoulder and demanded correction.

“Again! Say it again!”

Rather than saying it’s scary, I should say it’s disgusting… .

However, I swallowed my saliva because I thought Lily would cry if I said those words to her as they were.

… It’s not my job anyway.

All Jack has to do is suffer.

‘Cheer up, Jack.’

While I was quietly praying inwardly, a nameless man came in, curious about the sound of Lily and I talking.

“What kind of room is this?”

“Don’t be surprised by what you see.”

As he looked around the room, Moo-myeong opened his eyes wide in surprise and began to groan.

“… What the.”

“Why? What do you think?”

Look, even anonymous people are surprised?

To let Lily know that something was wrong, I elicited an anonymous response.

“It looks really cool.”

“Yeah- What?”

“Isn’t this a room where you can feel Lily’s love for Jack so well?”

“Right?! Hehe, I knew you’d understand, Anonymous?!”

As he said that, the anonymous man started having a conversation with Lily about this and that.

… No, this is cool?

Wow, is it because I’m so old-fashioned…?

no.

He shook his head slightly, cursing himself for almost understanding this crazy room.

No matter how much I try to understand, this isn’t it.

“Uh… How did you draw that?”

“Oh! Shall I introduce myself?”

“Thank you.”

The more I listened to Lily and the nameless conversation, the more dizzy I became, so I left the room.

… I also feel sorry for the person who will become the anonymous spouse.

‘Cheer up.’

He bowed his head slightly and prayed for the repose of the soul of the woman who would become his future disciple’s wife.

* * *

After finishing looking around Lily’s room, I started heading towards my original destination after looking around the Demon King’s castle’s dining hall, training grounds, etc.

“Would you like to come again next time?”

“I don’t want to come here again.”

When Lily said she would give us Jack’s painting the next time we came to her room, we firmly refused, and she led us out with a tearful expression.

“Just open this door!”

“Aren’t you going?”

When I caught Lily, who was backing away as if she was going to leave, she waved her hand and said,

“Yes! You can’t enter the Demon King’s room unless you’re invited!”

“Is that so?”

“Yes! Since Harang and Anonymous are the only ones invited right now, I can’t go in, right?”

Hmm, I see.

He nodded slightly and grabbed the nameless hand.

“Then let’s open it.”

“Yes, but are your legs okay now?”

“Huh?”

leg?

“You didn’t move right after you entered Lily’s room, did you?”

“Ah.”

By the way, you said your legs hurt.

He rolled his eyes and started to slump down on the floor with an awkward acting tone.

“Oh my! My legs are suddenly shaking-”

“Phew, it’s a joke. Come on in.”

“… Yeah.”

Well… I think Anonymous had noticed it earlier.

He sighed deeply at the sight of his playful disciple and grabbed the giant doorknob.

“Let’s open it together.”

Finally, I pushed hard against the doorknob I had been holding onto.

-That’s so extreme

A large cavity was revealed with the sound of an old door opening, as if it had not been opened for a while.

At the end of it was a dark chair that looked like it could fit a grown man.

Perhaps, that is the Demon King’s seat.

“It seems there is no Demon King.”

I looked around with my eyes wide open in case someone was hiding, but I felt like there was no one else in there besides me and Moo-myeong.

I’m sure you said you heard a voice, but you’re not fully awake yet?

Then there would be no reason to call us.

“… What on earth do you want us to do? Nameless, do you have any idea?”

I looked back to ask for opinions.

“Anonymous?”

There, for some reason, I saw a nameless man frowning fiercely.

…why the tears.
