episode_0174

Elvenheim is regaining its former peaceful appearance.

The Queen and her soldiers were busy searching for the wounded and looking for any remaining monsters.

The situation is slowly coming to an end.

But Hailey was not at peace and was sweating profusely.

“…..Where did you go?”

Athena looks at Haley with a cold face.

“Say it again, Hailey.”

Lily asks with equally wet eyes.

Their heavy aura weighing down on the surroundings was enough to frighten the little elf.

“Going on a date with the Demon King…”

Hailey struggled to force out the words that had been stuck in her throat.

The words Hera left behind before leaving with the Demon King.

– Haley. If Athena and Lily come back, tell them I’m going on a date with the Demon King. And tell them not to worry, everything’s going well!

Sure, she was a precious hero who saved her country, but Hayley couldn’t shake the feeling that she had left a bomb behind for her.

Well, look ahead.

Aren’t the two people staring at each other with a fierce look on their faces as if they might burn each other at any moment?

“….What about Marie?”

“Mi..I’m going to tail you..”

“That’s fortunate.”

Athena let out a short sigh at Haley’s words.

“Are you going to follow me?”

Lily, with a frown on her face, spoke to Athena.

Looking at her like that, Athena answered with a serious look in her eyes.

“Of course.”

With those words, the two disappeared from Hailey’s sight in the blink of an eye.

The four heroes who saved Elvenheim left leisurely without leaving a trace.

Hmm. What should I say about this situation?

okay.

I can’t tell if the food is going into my mouth or my nose.

“You’re really cheeky.”

The Demon King raised one eyebrow and looked at me with curious eyes, as if he was looking at an alien.

Candles lighting up the surroundings. A large table spread out. And a lot of food placed on it.

I was now having a meal with the Demon King, who was called the root of all evil, the root of all disaster, the worst kind of murderer.

Fortunately, it was a restaurant with a room-style atmosphere, so I was able to eat without worrying too much about what other people thought.

Of course, when I first came in, I should have covered the Demon King’s horns with a tent, but surprisingly, that wasn’t a problem.

“You want to have a meal with the woman everyone is afraid of? I want to open your head and see what’s going on inside you.”

The Demon King puts a piece of meat in his mouth while speaking in a murderous voice without any concern.

I also had a hard time adapting to this rather alien situation.

Eating alone at a restaurant with the Demon King.

Who would have dared to think so?

If this was a novel, it wouldn’t have been strange at all to receive all kinds of criticism and curses, saying, “What kind of ridiculous development is this?”

But this is the only way given to me, who has neither the power to stop her nor the brilliant mind to restore peace.

I have to somehow win the Demon King’s favor on this date.

[You are doing well, my disciple.]

My eyes opened wide without me realizing it when I heard my teacher’s welcome voice in my head.

‘T..Master. It seems like everything is going according to plan.’

[Yes. The atmosphere is good. The music is good. I found a place with a lot of charm. He is truly worthy of my disciple.]

Her compliments made me feel a little relieved. At least it meant that I hadn’t made any mistakes so far.

‘Will it really work out…?’

[It’s up to you. But don’t worry too much. The Master has never failed to seduce anyone. I’m sure you can do it too.]

My tense heart calmed down a little thanks to the strong comfort of my teacher.

I hope I can do well as the teacher says.

“Hmm. Are you thinking of something else while leaving my girlfriend?”

“Huh?!”

My body trembled at the sharp words of the Demon King that seemed as if they would pierce through me.

I kept a smile on my face while talking to the teacher… How could you not know?

[….I think we should stop talking and focus on her.]

‘…yes.’

[Do you know what to do next?]

‘Of course. Just leave it to me.’

The teacher’s words made me correct my mind again.

Yes. The opponent is the Demon King.

The worst being that makes everyone tremble in fear.

It was clear that if I continued to act in a rude manner, I wouldn’t be able to get anything done.

“You called me here just to eat something like this? I’m so disappointed.”

The Demon King speaks while staring at a piece of meat picked up with a fork.

I quickly answered her before the Demon King changed his mind.

“Does the food not suit your taste..?”

“In the first place, this woman doesn’t even have any interest in things like food.”

As the Demon King spoke coldly, I frowned and made the saddest expression on my face.

“I’m sorry…I tried hard to find out while thinking of the Demon King….”

“…..Well. It’s not that it’s tasteless. But it’s so boring.”

You must be foolish.

I never thought that a being that only caused massacres every day for fun would be interested in eating.

This is a place where just me and her can spend time together.

I calmly pushed my side hair behind my ears, got up from my seat, and sat down next to the Demon King.

“What are you trying to do?”

The Demon King raises an eyebrow as if my actions are questionable.

With a slight blush on my face, I picked up a piece of meat with my fork and pointed it at her mouth.

“Your Majesty. Please do it~”

“….what?”

The Demon King frowns as if he has no idea what this action is.

“Are you treating me like this? I feel really bad.”

“I want to feed it to the Demon King myself..”

I lowered my gaze again at her slightly grim expression and spoke in a hoarse voice.

“Do you not like spending time with me like this..? ”

“…..you.”

The Demon King looked at me calmly with a short word.

A moment of silence passed like that.

The Demon King, who had been staring at me for a while, clicked his tongue and slowly opened his mouth.

Without missing that gap, I stuffed the meat into her mouth. The Demon King closed her mouth again and began chewing the food.

“Hehehe…Please feed me too, Demon King.”

“…..Open your mouth.”

I shyly opened my mouth and this time the food entered my mouth.

I smiled brightly at the demon queen who had a bewildered expression and held her hand tightly.

“It’s delicious, Demon King..! Thank you.”

“…..”

“This time, I’ll feed you..!”

So we shared another bite.

If others saw it, it would look like a loving couple feeding each other.

But for me, it was a brutal time where I couldn’t tolerate even a single mistake.

Even now, while I was feeding meat to the Demon King, I was so afraid that the Demon King might get sick of it, leave this place, and start slaughtering people again.

But I don’t show my feelings at all.

He smiled and snuggled even closer to the Demon King.

*

After a bloody yet somehow creepy dinner date.

Arrived holding the Demon King’s hand. This is where my next plan will be put into action.

“Is it a play this time?”

“Yes!”

“There are just so many trivial things.”

“Hehe.. It’s the most popular play that’s doing very well right now.”

Yes, that’s right.

Now I have come to the theater to watch a play with the Demon King.

This is an idea I suggested to my teacher. My teacher also said that it wasn’t a bad idea.

Theater. On Earth, it’s like a movie.

It was one of the essential courses that you should not miss on a date.

A splendid play in progress. A fire that makes it completely dark and hard to see ahead. A heart that gradually grows in between.

In some ways, you could say that this was the most important part of today’s operation.

I don’t know exactly what the play’s theme is because it’s not revealed for fun…

I heard that it’s a grand adventure drama about love blossoming between a man and a woman.

There are rumors that it’s fun there, so there’s no way it’ll fail.

“Your Majesty…! You should hide your horns properly.”

As I saw her horns slowly being revealed, I quickly touched the headdress that covered her horns again.

Then, our two faces naturally became closer.

I gave the Demon King, who was staring at me, a bashful smile and took her hand to lead her into the theater.

The play began after a short period of time had passed.

The last light illuminating the theater went out, and the curtain began to rise on the stage, which was plunged into complete darkness.

“Your Majesty, you must listen and leave a review.”

As I spoke while warmly holding the hand of the Demon King who was making an indifferent expression next to me, she turned her gaze to the stage with an expression that I couldn’t understand.

Let’s follow her. A single light illuminated the stage, and a girl with gray hair appeared on stage.

‘….huh?’

I felt a familiar feeling from the girl.

The body shape is like that, and above all, the hair color is so familiar.

As the girl came up on stage, commentary began to come out from the magic tool attached to the ceiling.

– The final duel for peace. Will the girl Liliana be able to protect the peace of this world with her life?

‘..Liliana?’

A character whose name is even too familiar.

The girl pulled her sword out of its scabbard, pointed it forward, and shouted.

“Today is the day I will kill you and bring peace to the empire!”

Then, another person appeared from where the ashen-haired girl’s sword was pointing.

A fairly mature-looking woman. The woman had red hair and horns.

I could feel it instinctively. Something was terribly wrong.

‘Huh..? This…this play really..’

“Do you dare to challenge me?”

The red-haired woman on stage spoke. The ashen-haired girl smiled and answered.

“Be prepared, Demon King. This warrior of the Holy Sword, Liliana, will defeat you.”

thud

I felt like my heart was falling to the floor.

I tried to turn my creaking head, and there she was, looking at the stage with a different expression than before. She seemed quite interested.

The real Demon King has the same hair color as the woman who just appeared on stage, but has much more massive horns.

‘Ah.. No, I clearly said it was a great adventure story about a man and a woman falling in love?’

The Demon King, who was watching the play with an evil smile, spoke to me.

“Correct me. This sounds like it would be quite fun.”

‘Ugh…we’re in trouble.’

I could only look at her with trembling eyes.

Master.

Please save me.
