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

Chapter 326 Taking Bai Lin to see Aiota?

Although the process was somewhat tortuous, thanks to Alpha, Gray was able to get a good night's sleep.

The next day, they got up early because the others had also set off for their respective areas of responsibility early in the morning, and Gray wanted to see them off.

"Lord Shadow Demon... Waaaaah..."

The pink-haired succubus, her eyes brimming with tears, said, "I'll miss you. Come to Demirer soon, please?"

Gray smiled and made an X to Capa.

Forget about you, but you can still miss the others.

"Lord Shadow is wicked..." Before the pink-haired succubus could protest much, Alpha threw her onto the carriage.

"Let's go, dragging our feet will only make things worse."

Watching the carriage drive away, Gray suddenly felt a sense of relief.

Finally, I've sent that old lady away. For the time being, I don't have to worry about becoming the first demon king to be drained to death by a succubus.

Congratulations, congratulations.

However, Gray seemed to have oversimplified the situation.

Suddenly, Kappa's voice echoed in my mind, "Requesting permission to call."

“Sound transmission magic…” Gray muttered.

The carriage hadn't gone far and was still within the range of the sound transmission magic.

This guy……

I've indeed boarded the carriage, and suddenly a voice transmission request comes in. Is it something they want to say?

Gray felt it wouldn't be good to refuse outright, so he decided to answer the call first and hang up immediately if the pink-haired succubus was up to something again.

As soon as the call connected, a familiar, charming voice rang out.

"It is I who have wronged you..."

This servant is leaving...

Lord Shadow, please take care...

goodbye……

Will we ever meet again, Lord Shadow?

I hope you will be happy when we meet again...

good or not?

Lord Demon Shadow...

You should be happy, you should be blessed...

good or not?

I'm so happy, so blissful...

Your world will no longer have me...

It's okay, you should be happy...

Lord Demon Shadow...

Lord Shadow —————！！！！！（Voice cracks）

Lord Shadow Demon, how could I live without you?

Lord Shadow Demon, please take me with you—

Gray couldn't take it anymore and forcibly hung up the call. He was clutching his head, looking like he was in great pain.

He shouldn't have expected this pink-haired succubus to do anything good.

I realized my name isn't Swallow, and besides, it was Capa who left, and no one chased after the carriage...

Is this a popular internet meme from a TV series from a past life? My memories are being awakened...

It's best not to bring back these memories!

So how could Capa say something so similar? He didn't teach the Ten Shadow Attendants any of this weird stuff...

That's a bit strange, is it a coincidence?

Gray shook his head, banishing the strange object, and then watched the other waiters leave.

“This has scattered us again…” Gray sighed softly, a hint of regret in his voice.

Once the demonic cult is wiped out, there will be plenty of time for reunion; there's no need to be sentimental here.

Rather than hesitating, he should forge ahead and resolve everything as soon as possible; that's his style.

Gray turned around and looked at White Scale standing behind him.

"Let's get going..."

Bai Lin clenched his fist and raised it high: "Oh!"

The style of the painting suddenly changed the next moment.

"But where are we going?" Bai Lin scratched his head.

Gray said with a hint of exasperation, "Didn't Alpha tell you?"

Bai Lin replied immediately, "She only told me to follow you, without saying what we were supposed to do..."

This means that Bai Lin has been assigned to me, and I can decide where to take her.

Actually, it would be better to assign Bai Lin elsewhere. She is a noble tenth-tier combatant, an important force capable of killing an archbishop single-handedly without any effort.

Perhaps it was too strong and would overpower Alpha, so it was handed over to him because he was too difficult to control?

“Then let me make it clear to you, I need to go home,” Gray said.

Upon hearing this, Bai Lin reacted.

"Going home? To meet your parents?"

Bai Lin is a white dragon who is ignorant of the world and lives deep in the valley. She is not very clear about the situation outside and does not know that the demons have been defeated by humans and have disappeared into the Shadow Forest.

Meeting Gray's parents?

What would the Demon King's parents be like?

Seeing Bai Lin's curious expression, Gray realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something, and explained:

"Going home" refers to returning to human territory.

I am an orphan, adopted by the Brant family, a noble family in the Olmec kingdom. My adoptive parents are unaware of my true identity.

Bai Lin was stunned upon hearing this.

A demon king, but adopted by humans?

She applied for Chinese-to-Chinese translation...

Seeing her shocked expression, Gray slowly said, "Does that sound strange?"

Bai Lin pondered for a moment, then nodded and shook his head.

This cryptic gesture made Gray laugh: "What do you mean by that?"

Bai Lin also realized that his behavior just now was a bit strange, so he said, "What I mean is... it is indeed strange that a demon king was adopted by humans, but when I think about your attitude towards humans, it seems quite reasonable."

Gray found Bai Lin's statement strange: "What's wrong with my attitude towards humans?"

Bai Lin replied, "Aren't demons and humans sworn enemies? Throughout history, demon kings have always hated humans to the core, and they often say they want to destroy humans and revitalize the demon race."

I don't think you've ever said anything like that, and you're very friendly towards humans, which is quite different from the image of the Demon King I have in mind.

If you were raised by humans, then your friendly attitude towards humans is perfectly reasonable.

Gray was somewhat surprised.

Bai Lin looks silly, but it turns out he's actually observing his surroundings carefully, completely different from that silly dog.

Bai Lin had no idea what rude things Gray was thinking, and continued, "Your subordinates are called Shadow Court Attendants, right? They are mostly human, and you hardly ever see demons. Instead, there are quite a few people of other races. No one outside would believe that an organization like the Shadow Court could be built by a demon king."

Upon hearing this, Gray pondered for a moment.

That makes a lot of sense. It's strange that an organization established by a demon king would have most of its members as humans.

"So...you're taking me home to meet your adoptive parents?" Bai Lin's question made Gray pause his thoughts.

"No, it's strange to bring a girl home when you have a fiancée. It'll definitely be misunderstood, or rather, not exactly misunderstood..."

In short, this will make things complicated. I only went home as required by my adoptive father to visit my adopted sister again, and then I would go elsewhere in a few days to look for traces of other factions of the Demonic Order.

I'll leave you with Aiota for a few days; it'll be a good opportunity for her to meet you.

Iota...

By capturing the key words, Bai Lin knows that Alpha, Beta, and the like are all code names, so is this "Aiota" also one of Gray's subordinates? One of the Ten Shadow Attendants of the Shadow Court?

Bai Lin didn't notice Gray's embarrassed expression.

Taking a girl to meet your fiancée is even stranger!
