The maid squad is too strong, what use is there for me, the Demon King?

"Huh...huh..."

A boy was running at full speed, panting heavily, but he had no intention of slowing down.

I have to make it, it's so hard... I absolutely can't be late!

He ran all the way to the agreed location, where the beautiful figure came into view.

The boy ran in front of the girl and braked suddenly to avoid hitting her.

He was so exhausted that he couldn't stand up for a moment. Although he was still panting, he looked up at the girl and said apologetically, in broken sentences, "I...sorry...for...keeping you...waiting..."

Seeing the boy so exhausted, a smile flickered in the girl's watery eyes, and she reached out to help him up.

"No, I just arrived too. Alo, there's no need to rush. Look how tired you are. Take a break first."

The girl's gentle and melodious voice instantly soothed the boy's spirit, and he suddenly felt no longer tired.

Of course, it's only a mental cure; my body, exhausted like a dog, is still sore and unresponsive.

"it is good……"

The boy knew he was too weak to walk and needed to rest, but that would reduce the time he could spend "dating" her.

No, this time was not wasted. Being able to feel the girl's gentle caresses was wonderful!

This tenderness made the boy linger, and for a moment he didn't really want to remember (crossed out, he really didn't want to remember).

But the young man knew he couldn't indulge in the pleasures of love for too long.

Today is a precious "date" with her, we can't let this happen again!

He struggled to his feet.

Seeing that he had recovered to the point where he no longer needed support, the girl chuckled and opened her arms.

The boy was a little disappointed that the physical contact was gone, but he didn't show it. He explained, "Sorry, Dad went to town. It took me a little longer to finish the chores around the house."

The girl shook her head, her captivating voice enchanting the boy: "It's alright, it's still a little while before the appointed time, Alo, you're not late. And..."

The girl's face suddenly flushed: "Even if A Luo is late, I will keep waiting..."

The girl's voice grew softer and softer, but the boy still heard everything she said.

That slightly shy tone made the boy's heart flutter.

So cute! His childhood sweetheart is simply the cutest person in the world!

This made the boy chuckle foolishly, and it took him a while to come to his senses.

He smiled and said, "Let's go."

The girl nodded gently: "Mmm..."

This is a small village with a small hill nearby. Boys and girls live here; this is their hometown.

The boy and girl were both children from farming families. Their families were neighbors and had a very good relationship. The boy and girl often played together and were close childhood sweethearts.

Today, the boy and girl made an appointment to go to the mountain to play, which is what is called a "date".

They were children from farming families, and it was truly difficult for them to even fill their stomachs. Unlike wealthy families, they didn't consider going out shopping together as a regular part of their dates.

They went to the mountains together; that was their "date".

The boy liked the girl and could sense that she also had feelings for him; they were both aware of each other's feelings.

But neither of them ever expressed their feelings, nor did they need to.

On a "date" called "going to the mountains together," the hearts of the boy and girl were pounding.

On the way, the boy bravely reached out to hold the girl's hand. The girl's face flushed even more, but she did not resist.

This delighted the boy.

After so many years, he finally took the courage to take this step!

Sunlight filters through the lush foliage, casting dappled shadows on the mountain path. Boys and girls frolic joyfully through this green sea, their laughter echoing through the valley.

The boy's face radiated youthful energy; his eyes were as clear as mountain springs, and his short, jet-black hair flew as he ran. He wore simple cloth clothes and light cloth shoes, leaping nimbly among the rocks. The girl wore a light blue dress, her hair loosely tied back with a ribbon, like a mountain fairy.

The two chased each other until they unknowingly arrived at a meadow full of wildflowers. The boy, on a sudden inspiration, picked a bright red wildflower and gently placed it in the girl's hair. A blush rose on the girl's face, and her smile became even more radiant.

They frolicked in the stream, then climbed to the treetops to pick wild fruits hanging from the branches. A gentle mountain breeze carried the fragrance of earth and the sweet scent of flowers, a truly refreshing experience. In this natural paradise, the boys and girls played to their hearts' content, enjoying their precious time together.

They stopped beneath a huge old pine tree. The boy easily climbed to the top, using the rough trunk as a crutch. He reached down and plucked a few pine cones, tossing them to the girl below. She caught them nimbly, her laughter as clear and melodious as silver bells. She held the pine cones in her hands as if they were priceless gold and jewels.

Next, they came to a crystal-clear stream. The water babbled gently, cool and refreshing. The boy rolled up his trousers and carefully waded into the water, searching for crabs and small fish under the rocks. The girl sat on the bank, dipping her feet in the water, enjoying the caress of the stream. Occasionally, she would look up at the boy's focused expression, and a warm feeling would well up in her heart.

How wonderful! I wish time could stand still at this moment.

……

Night fell like a soft curtain, slowly descending upon the mountains. The last rays of sunset faded, stars began to adorn the sky, and the moon quietly rose, casting its silvery glow.

The boy and girl realized it was late and time to go back. They stood up, dusted themselves off, and took one last look at the place where they had played all day. The mountain night was cool and peaceful, broken only by the occasional chirping of insects and the distant howling of wolves.

The boy helped the girl carry her small basket, which was filled with wild berries and some pretty pebbles they had picked that day. They walked side by side along the path, the beam of their flashlights piercing the night. The girl was a little afraid of the dark and clung tightly to the boy, who acted like a brave guardian, giving her a sense of security with his presence.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." The young man gently comforted the girl, his voice sounding especially warm in the night breeze.

They carefully followed the path they had come by, traversing the woods and crossing the stream. The mountain path was more difficult to traverse at night than during the day, but they relied on each other, inching closer to the village below. In the moonlight, their shadows intertwined, as if telling a silent story.

Finally, the village lights came into view, and the familiar barking of dogs and the sounds of laughter and conversation from distant houses eased their anxieties. Alo and the girl stood at the village entrance, gazing at each other, their eyes filled with a deep sense of reluctance to part.

"I'm really happy today, thank you, Alo," the girl said softly.

“Me too, see you tomorrow!” Alo replied, his eyes full of anticipation.

They waved goodbye and each headed home. In the night, the beautiful memories of playing in the mountains left a deep imprint on the two young hearts.

This beautiful memory remains etched in Lockston Kingsol's heart to this day.
