Lord Demon is behind you

The brave man stood there quietly, looking at the place where she disappeared for the last time, without moving for a while.

"You don't have to worry about her, brave man." After a while, the devil comforted him softly, "Although that metal body looks clumsy, after getting used to it, it can have a numerical value much higher than that of human beings, including nearly unlimited Health bar and super high defense power - in a sense, it can even be counted as an undead creature. In addition, she also has the strongest technology, no matter what kind of difficulties she encounters, she must be able to overcome it."

"Ok, I know."

After a moment of silence, the brave man nodded.

Ludi—although she looked like a little girl before, she was already an adult, she had her own judgment, and she was able to make appropriate choices for her own life.

Now it's good, it's very good.After getting rid of everything related to the hero, she must be able to live a more free life.

The two stood side by side in silence for a while.

"Then... shall we go to the eighth floor now?" the Demon King asked tentatively.

"……what."

Asked by him, the brave man's mind really returned to the present.

"Speaking of which, don't you need to rest for a while?" If it wasn't for the discovery of Ludi, they should have rested in place for a while.

"No, no need," the devil shook his head sullenly, "I'm fully awake, even if I try to sleep, I can't fall asleep again. It's okay brave man, my physical strength has almost recovered, so I probably won't give it to you. It's troublesome."

"Ah... oh."

How should I put it... It was alright when Ludi was there, but now that Ludi has left, there are only the two of them left here, and a delicate and awkward atmosphere emerges unknowingly.

The brave man unconsciously recalled the previous situation in his mind, and remembered what he hadn't been able to say at that time.

...Finally made up his mind to confess, but was interrupted, resulting in the loss of all opportunities——For a brave man, this can be regarded as one of the most embarrassing moments in life.

However, since it was interrupted at that time, the appropriate atmosphere naturally disappeared.Even if we forcefully continue the previous topic now, it will only appear more embarrassing; besides, talking about that matter itself is embarrassing.

"Then, let's... let's go now."

For a moment, the brave man didn't even dare to look at the opponent's face, so he could only stare straight ahead and say.

He headed for the stairwell.

After a pause, the Demon King quickly followed, quietly walking two steps behind him.

——This was probably the most silent stairwell the two had walked through.There is no exhausting chase, no sense of relief when the battle is over, and even a conversation can't start; for a quarter of an hour, the two just walked up the spiral steps step by step, one behind the other move, like two approaching black dots on a rotation curve.

... more embarrassing.

The more silent the more embarrassing.

In terms of quantification, if the embarrassment level was only five points at the beginning, it has undoubtedly reached eight or even nine points now.

The brave man tried his best to concentrate on thinking about the future battle and the boss on the eighth floor, but his thoughts always drifted uncontrollably, moving behind him.

——Does the other party also feel awkward?Or do you feel nothing at all, just feel that the sudden silence is inexplicable.

Why did the Demon King keep silent? ...Sure enough, did you still feel the strange atmosphere?

Should I just pretend to be nonchalant now and say something to relieve myself?It's not a problem to continue this stalemate; if the atmosphere and mood can't be restored as soon as possible, after reaching the eighth floor, there may be troubles when facing unknown agencies and enemies.

The longer the silence lasts, the harder it is to break the deadlock.The brave wanted to speak a few times, but in the end he swallowed those few lines that had nothing to say.

……nothing to say.And at this time, dry words will only make everything more unnatural.

This disturbing situation still hadn't been resolved until we reached the gate at the end marked "Eighth Floor".The brave man tugged at his collar anxiously.

--do not care.He put his hand on the door.

"Are you ready?" He tried to make his voice sound normal, "I'm going to open the door. The eighth floor is Miss Sylvia's floor. With her personality, she must have prepared for battle very seriously. This layer can be dangerous and difficult."

"Um, um, no problem."

——Although he said so, his voice didn't sound like "no problem".

Sure enough, he also felt embarrassed and embarrassed.It was so embarrassing that I couldn't have a normal conversation.

The back suddenly tightened; the Demon King raised his hand and grabbed the hem of the brave man's clothes.

"That..., Brave, are you, are you angry?"

"angry?"

...Wait, this is not what I expected.The entangled emotions in the brave man's heart suddenly became inexplicable.

"Not at all. By the way, why am I suddenly angry?"

"..."

The Demon King was vague for a moment, "However, you don't look very well... And you don't talk to me. I thought I said something wrong to make you unhappy... If you are not angry, it is because of the previous Are you unhappy about your companions?"

"No, that's not the case either."

It seems the guy doesn't get it at all.Not only did he not feel embarrassed, but he never thought that the brave man would have such emotions——

Can't this guy understand how uncomfortable it is to have a confession interrupted forcibly?What about good at human psychology? !

For a moment, he felt that his previous embarrassment was unnecessary, and the brave sighed with complicated emotions, and took back the hand that was about to push the door.

He turned around slowly: "Actually..."

--etc.When his eyes really fell on the other party, he suddenly panicked like an electric shock.

"—Why...why do you look like you're about to cry..."

"Hey?"

The Demon King was stunned, and reached out to touch the underside of his eye sockets, "No? I'm not crying, and I don't mean to cry.... I'm an adult male demon, so I don't cry at every turn."

"……yes……"

The brave man looked at his face carefully, there were indeed no tears or anything like that.But, "You look very..."

Wronged?disturbed?In short, his face is full of this kind of expression that can easily lead to illusions, so it is only at first glance that people can be misunderstood.

"Ah... is it that obvious?"

The devil moved his finger down and pressed his own cheek.

"How should I put it, I'm probably a little scared." He smiled bitterly, "Because, just now, I suddenly realized that I have no idea what you are thinking, Brave Man—why are you ignoring me all of a sudden? Are you angry or worried, or just worried, or something else? I can't figure it out at all."

"You know, I'm quite confident in my observation of human beings," he lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, "I have accumulated a considerable amount of human psychology, both at the theoretical level and the practical level—especially for human beings. You, brave man. I thought I knew you very well, and I could guess your thoughts immediately at any time; but not this time. I don't know what you are thinking, so all of a sudden... I'm scared. "

He looks really pitiful now, like a little animal who has been bullied by someone.No one who saw him like this would have thought that this guy was once a powerful demon king.

The brave man couldn't fully understand his logic, but the other party's panic was accurately conveyed to him.

Is this thing... so much to be afraid of?

Maybe it's because the brave himself has never studied the meaning behind other people's actions so thoroughly, and he doesn't think it's so terrible to "not know what other people are thinking".

However, since the other party cares so much...

"Actually... I'm not thinking about anything special."

The brave man managed to squeeze out a word, but then got stuck again.

If he doesn't explain clearly, this guy will definitely continue to panic.

But if you want to explain it, how should you explain it?Just say you're embarrassed by what happened before?

Or, should I take the opportunity to complete the unfinished confession...?

"I just,……"

——Can you excuse yourself by saying that you were just distracted and worried about the battle after that?

However, based on the other party's understanding of him, if he lied, he would probably be discovered immediately.

"Ah, it's okay brave man." The Demon King seemed to calm down his mood, and said with a sigh of relief, "Speaking of which, I don't have the power to be omniscient and omnipotent, and of course I can't always guess other people's thoughts—and, well, I found out whether you still have me or not. Explore the clear part, this will not affect my feelings for you, but will make me like you more."

Hearing his confession again without any grievances, the brave man's heart beat involuntarily.

For him, that interrupted confession just passed away...?Is it okay not to finish?

Or was it out of consideration for the brave man—was the other party just not wanting to cause him more embarrassment?

"So you don't have to worry about it. Let's go, the eighth floor looks like a tough fight..."

Probably because he couldn't wait for a response, the Demon King simply changed the topic more actively, walked around him and walked to the door, and reached out to touch the double-opening door.

However, the irritability in the brave man's heart also reached its peak.

The more the other party thought for him and shifted the focus to serious matters, the more he couldn't calm down.

"The troubles in the future should still be..."

"--and many more."

There seemed to be a bright light in my heart.

For some reason, the hero suddenly understood.It's not the other party who has been embarrassed but himself, and it's not the other party who can't be relieved of the interrupted confession, but himself.

At this moment, it is himself who must solve this problem——

"Wait a minute. I... have something to tell you; I have to. It's something I couldn't finish before."

"……Hey?"

The Demon King blurted out a doubtful voice, "But... Brave, what do you mean—"

The brave man didn't look at him.In fact, from the moment he made up his mind, his heart beat violently, almost breaking through his chest cavity.

This feeling is completely different from when I was in the dark before.Now I can be 100% sure that the intention I want to express is indeed from my own heart, not a compromise word pushed away by the air.

"I--"

Both heart and face are full of scorching temperature.I didn't know where to put my eyes, but I didn't dare to look at the other person's face; but I had to.If you don't look directly into the other person's eyes at this time, it will definitely be regarded as not serious.

"I couldn't finish it before, but—"

"--I also,……"

At this juncture, the brave man's tongue became knotted instead.The excessive temperature seems to have burned out both the brain and the vocal cords, to the point where it is difficult to express correctly.

This heat is different from mere shame.In his 25-[-] years of life so far, it was the first time for Brave to experience this special feeling.

"I also have the same..." He stumbled and said, "The same mood. That's it; I also..."

"I like you too."

After finishing speaking, the surroundings seemed to fall into absolute silence.The Demon King seemed to be stunned; he didn't even blush or speak for a moment, but just stared blankly at the brave man.

Unbearable for this moment of extreme silence, the brave man simply grabbed the opponent's front and pulled him towards him.

—The two are about the same height.He just leaned forward a little and touched the other's lips.

...really very soft.This kind of touch is very indescribable, or because his mind is also in a mess, there is no way to describe it.

After simply touching for a few seconds, the brave man let go of his hand and took a step back.

"Anyway... that's what happened," he gasped and said incoherently, "Because I was in the middle of what I said, anyway... I was very concerned about it, and I couldn't let it go easily. I kept thinking about finishing what I said. Now that we have made it clear, then for the time being, we will, that, or... um!"

A large human-shaped object rushed up from the front.Caught off guard, the brave man was pushed back two more steps, and his back was pressed against the wall next to him; he thought his head would be hit hard, but before that, a hand was put up to gently protect it. the back of his head.

He only had time to see the magnified familiar face before his lips were bitten.
