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

"Lord Phantom——!"

Upon seeing Gray, the white-haired girl in the distance excitedly quickened her pace and rushed towards him.

As the distance gradually shortened, Gray, seeing the way she stretched out her arms, guessed that Beta couldn't have simply run over.

Gray stopped and mentally counted down a few steps.

3, 2, 1.

With his arms outstretched, Gray caught Beta as she pounced on him, her soft, warm body nestled in his embrace.

"Lord Shadow Demon, I miss you so much..."

The delicate voice of the elven girl rang in my ears.

"I only stayed home for a month, that's not a long time, is it?" Gray asked back.

Upon hearing this, Beta's expression showed a hint of displeasure: "A month is a long time, Lord Shadow!"

Lord Shadow remains as clueless about romance as ever.

But forget it.

More than a month later, Beta wanted to enjoy this long-awaited warmth, rather than fussing over trivial matters.

Nestled in strong arms, the warmth of his body made Beta's cheeks feel slightly hot.

The white-haired elf girl slightly raised her head to gaze at Gray's face, while the blush on her cheeks spread throughout her body, making one's heart itch. Unconsciously, one would close their eyes, raise their head, purse their lips, and slowly approach the lips they wanted to touch.

"Grey... running... so fast... what are you doing..."

He was panting heavily when an untimely sound rang out, startling Beta so much that he opened his eyes and immediately stopped trying to kiss him.

Although Alice was a professional, she was a noble mage. Her physical abilities were much stronger than those of ordinary people, but not particularly outstanding. Chasing Gray to the point where he stopped while running at full speed exhausted her.

Therefore, he didn't see the scene in front of him clearly at first, and only looked up after catching his breath a couple of times...

"Ok?"

What comes into view is a scene of a man and a woman in close contact.

Aliceville froze on the spot, and then a rosy blush visibly spread from her toes to her entire body, her pretty face turning especially red.

"I'm sorry to disturb you. I'll leave now and you continue! (すみません,魔魔して,すぐ出るから,続けて!)"

After saying that, he turned around in a panic to leave.

Gray said helplessly, "Um...can you calm down?"

Aliceville's face flushed, and she stammered, "What... I'm very calm... It was just a hug... just a kiss... just sex... I'm an adult, how could I let something like this happen..."

Gray narrowed his eyes (ー?ー): "But your face is very red? (でも, Yan, 真っ红だよ?)"

Aliceville shook her head vigorously: "This...this...right...it's because I was too tired from running, isn't it normal for my face to turn red? Okay...never mind me...please continue, you two!"

Aliceville stopped panting and immediately ran away.

Although Beta is currently in a red-hot state due to being seen in such an embarrassing manner, but...

"Lord Shadow... I've already considered so much... It would be a shame not to continue..." He then made a gesture as if asking for a kiss.

Gray = =: "There's really nothing I can do against you... (もう...しょうがないわね...)"

……

Gray only gave Beta a light kiss to satisfy her basic needs; a deep kiss wouldn't be appropriate in public (when there was actually no one around, just outside).

Gray and Beta aren't that shameless; here's a special criticism of a certain pink-haired succubus.

Seeing that Alice hadn't gone too far, Gray naturally took Beta's hand and quickly chased after her.

Beta: "～(~▽~～)……"

They held hands so naturally!

Alice Villa felt she had run far enough and had just stopped to catch her breath...

"Have you calmed down a little? (小し calm down?)"

Gray's voice came from behind.

"Varied……"

Alice Villa hurriedly looked back.

The scene before me was two people holding hands. One of them was a white-haired girl I didn't recognize. Her face was rosy, but she was smiling and looked very happy.

"Is that... all done?" Aliceville blurted out these four words unconsciously.

Instantly, Gray's gaze turned cold.

"No matter what, it's impossible to do it outside..."

Moreover, this kind of statement is like saying it's over in three seconds, which would make even Gray very unhappy.

He might be a bit of a blockhead, but when it comes to his male dignity, Grey must correct Alice's misconceptions.

and also……

This guy is unexpectedly sultry? (こいつ, むっつり outside the case?)

Seeing a scene of hugging makes me think of a series of strange things...

Aliceville scratched her head, her face still flushed, and said somewhat awkwardly, "Ha...haha...that's true...how could we do it outside—meaning we have to go back to the room...?"

Beta chuckled slightly, "So Lord Shadow is this thirsty..."

"Tsk..." Gray clicked his tongue and flicked the shrimp-headed white-haired elf girl on the head.

"And you! Stop thinking in strange directions!"

"Grey shouted."

……

It took Gray a lot of effort to calm Alice down.

Fortunately, it was Beta beside him, not Kappa. If it had been that pink-haired succubus, she would definitely have deliberately made things worse.

Is this a blessing in disguise?

“Ha…” Gray sighed softly.

“Let me introduce you.” Gray pointed at Aliceville with one hand: “This is the girl who calls herself Aliceville Celestio, the second princess of the Kingdom of Westphalia.”

Aliceville said somewhat displeased, "It's not a self-proclaimed title, it's the real me! You don't even believe me after I demonstrated star magic?"

Gray whispered, "Who knows..."

The reason for stating the prefixes of the identity and the full name was to see Beta's reaction.

Beta arrived in the Kingdom of Westphalia a month before him, so he's definitely much more familiar with things here than he is. Gray wanted to see if Beta could figure something out.

Beta understood, but shook his head: "Second Princess Aliceville Celestio of the Kingdom of Westphalia... I've never heard of her. Ipsyron should know."

Alice Wilt frowned slightly.

Never heard of her... although she is indeed not a famous member of the royal family.

For the first time, Alice Villa realized that proving her identity was such a troublesome thing.

Isn't demonstrating celestial magic enough?

Gray pointed at Beta with his other hand: "Ivy Wendy, I usually call her Beta, the second of the Ten Shadows and my lover..."

Gray still swallowed the word "one of his lovers," as having multiple relationships is probably not a glorious thing.

"really……"

Upon hearing "lover," Alice understood, partly because she didn't know anything about the Ten Shadows or the Second of the Ten Shadows.

"Nice to meet you, please take care of me." Aliceville extended her hand.

"Please guide me." After shaking hands with him, Beta looked at Gray.

What's wrong with this girl?
