Lord Demon is behind you

"Well, if you say that, it's true that the demons' thinking is far from that of humans, and it's generally impossible for them to understand each other."

The Demon King sat cross-legged next to the brave man, and said as he habitually held his chin.

"But I, um, it should be said that I like to observe human beings very much, right? I also read a lot of books on human behavior and human social logic before. After reading a lot, I probably know the routine."

"...books? Are there any books about humans in the Demon Realm?"

As a purebred human being, the brave man's understanding of the "Demon Realm" is only "the world where the demons live".Hearing what the devil said, I was a little curious for a while.

"There are quite a lot of them in the Demon Realm, because everyone is free, and the cultural industry is particularly developed, and there are all kinds of books." The Demon King said lightly.

Very, very free..., demons?

I always feel that it is better not to delve into it here.

"Later, when I came to the human world, I had nothing to do every day, so I just used the crystal ball to look around casually. Occasionally, I found interesting objects and would continue to observe. Seeing that human beings lead to different results under different behavior patterns, it feels strange and interesting. Yes. By the way, you, Brave, were one of my key observation objects at that time."

He spoke casually, but the brave man felt the chill on the back of his neck, and couldn't help but reach out and touch it.

"So... do you really like humans?" If you don't like them, you probably won't observe them every day.

"That's not the case. I basically hate humans very much. To be precise, I hate all human individuals except Arthur Crane!"

He simply and neatly expressed his veto, and by the way forced to confess again.

The brave man selectively ignored the second half of the sentence.

"Does this contradict what I said before?"

"It's not contradictory. I like to observe humans, but I hate humans themselves," the demon king leaned back and fell on the floor. "Is this normal? Humans also have similar behaviors, such as hating animals but loving to eat them." Meat or something."

"No, it doesn't seem to be the same thing."

"Of course it is the same thing. Those human beings are not concerned about the animals themselves, but the parts they can consume; I am not concerned about the human beings themselves, but "observing human beings" as an entertainment, consuming human performances .”

He turned his back to the sky and answered lazily.

"Yes, is that so..."

His tone was full of the arrogance of a higher creature, and there was no equality at all.It sounds like the status of human beings in his heart is similar to that of animals in the hearts of humans-this is also a matter of course, after all, the demons themselves are considered to be a higher-ranking species than humans.

However, in this case, ... a contradiction arises.

Why does the demon king who is a "higher class" like a brave man who is a "lower class"?If he sees humans like humans see animals, it stands to reason that it is impossible to have romantic feelings at all——

Sure enough, does he still have other purposes?The so-called liking someone is just an excuse... something like that?In fact, he didn't like it at all... No, no, no, I can't think about it anymore.

The brave man suddenly realized that he was inexplicably worrying about gains and losses, and quickly shook his head vigorously to get rid of the strange thoughts from his mind.

——At the end of the day, what the Demon Lord is thinking has nothing to do with him.They are just companions, temporarily attacking the Demon King's Castle together, that's all.If you think too much, you will lose.

If this guy really has other plans, doesn't he need to be on guard in advance?

No, the battle has only just begun, and here I am starting to doubt my companion's words...

... Sure enough, it is better to ask here?Ask him exactly what he thinks of human beings, and why he has feelings for individual human beings.

Although it feels weird to ask the other party whether he likes him or not on the premise that he doesn't like the other party at all, it's better than struggling alone.

After finally making up his mind, the brave man deliberately stared ahead and asked in deliberation.

"Well, you... If you hate humans, why did you treat me... Um... Why, um, hi..."

He silently covered his face.

Sure enough, I was too ashamed to say it. "Why do you have feelings for me" and the like, this kind of talk is too shameless to just sound.

"No, no, nothing, please forget about it."

"..."

No echo.

After waiting for a while, the brave man slowly turned his head to look over, and saw the Demon King lying on his back on the floor, eyes closed, breathing evenly——

He fell asleep without knowing when.

"Well……"

It seems that he should not have heard... right?The brave man felt a little lucky.

After thinking for a while, he took out a brand new cloak from his backpack and carefully put it on the Demon King.

After all, he has broken through the two-story maze continuously with high intensity. This former Lord Demon King, who has always been pampered, must have been exhausted to the point of exhaustion.During the battle, he only relied on perseverance to hold on, and once he relaxed, he accidentally fell asleep—anyway, it was good to have a little rest like this.

Speaking of which, this guy... has really long eyelashes.

The skin is really white too.Usually, I don't think it's too noisy, but if I calm down like this, I look like a high-end doll.

Although it's good to be energetic like usual, but the well-behaved appearance after falling asleep is more pleasing to the eye——

When he realized it, the brave man had been studying the sleeping face of the Demon King for a long time.

Wait, what am I doing!

Turning his head like an electric shock, the brave man pressed his forehead in a panic, only feeling that the touch under his hand was so hot that it was not like his own skin.

He slapped his cheeks several times in succession, feeling that his heart beating abnormally gradually stabilized, and the brave man couldn't help showing a wry smile.

This is probably called, "beauty deceives people".Even if he knows that the other party is a man, he is still someone he must avoid, as long as he faces that face, his heart will inevitably be shaken.

This can't be done...

Talking to himself in his heart, the brave man moved his body slowly, moving himself a little further away from the sleeping Demon King.

■

Two hours later, the Demon King and the brave stepped on the spiral staircase leading to the third floor.

During the long climb, the devil yawned from time to time.

"—Didn't you take a break?"

"Well, huh...it's okay."

The demon king rubbed his eyes lazily.

"However, to be honest... it's the first time I've slept on such a hard floor, and now my whole body really hurts. But, compared to that, don't you, the hero, rest?"

"I also rested."

Since there are no mobs in the boss room, it can be regarded as a safe zone, so just now the brave man took a nap while the demon king was asleep.

"Hey... are you asleep too?"

The Demon King seemed a little absent-minded.

"Speaking of which, I vaguely heard the brave man ask me why I like you..."

"You got it wrong!" the brave man said firmly.

"Really... Could it be that I am dreaming?" The Demon King looked really confused, "I rarely dream. This is the so-called thinking by day and dreaming at night, right?"

The brave man kept his face sullen and didn't speak, he was already secretly regretting the lie he uttered without thinking.

"Because you don't trust my appearance, I've been thinking about it myself lately," the Demon King Youyou let out a breath, "How can I explain it so that you can agree with my feelings..."

"No need to explain," said the brave man, "Sorry, I...don't like men."

"No, no, it's not for you to accept, I just hope you understand my intentions. After all, I am a demon, so it will inevitably make you feel—ah, the third floor has arrived."

I saw that the gate with the words "Third Floor" was closed and stood not far ahead.

Therefore, the private topic of the two has come to an end for the time being.

After roughly checking the status of the equipment and props, the brave man stepped forward and carefully pushed the door——

Some dazzling light came out from the gap, and the demon king hid back in some discomfort.

"It's a nasty feeling," he whispered. "I have a hunch this layer is probably my least favorite type."

The brave man understood exactly what he meant.From the crack of the opened door, abundant elements of the light system rushed out, and the aura was so strong that he, who was purely in the physics department, could even detect it.

God knows how such a situation would appear in the Demon King City, which should be dominated by dark elements.Could it be——

Suddenly thinking of something, he hurriedly pushed the door further open and squeezed in sideways.

Passing through the narrow corridor, the front suddenly opened up.

There is an empty open field in front of you, and you can't see the edge at a glance. It feels like a maze that has not yet begun to be paved.There are endless light elements floating in the distant background, and the stained glass similar to the background of the church refracts subtle rays of light, which appear from time to time and disappear from time to time.

However, in this empty land like a wilderness, there is an unknown music echoing——

Not far away, there is a huge and exquisite pipe organ, the surface is painted in elegant and sacred dark tones.A young girl in a white robe was sitting in front of the piano with her back facing her, her shoulders undulating slightly, playing calmly.

Music flowed from under her hands.

The melodious music, the girl in white clothes, the background filled with stained glass... all these are intertwined, which makes people dizzy.

"This woman..." The Demon King kept following him closely, frowning and asked, "What's the matter with this woman? It feels very strange. Is she also your former companion?"

"Yes," the brave replied in a low voice, "This is Miss Xuelu. Don't you remember? When we were fighting you, she was always the main output."

"Ah, it's her..." The Demon King immediately showed an unbearable expression.

"I remember. She is a woman full of sacred attributes from the inside out, right? Her light magic is extremely painful."

"It's her. Ms. Xuelu is a saint with a high status in the Church of Light. It can be said that she is, uh, the nemesis of monsters."

Speaking of this, the brave man couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Even the saint of the church has fallen into the devil king, can this world really be saved...

"However, this is strange." The words of the Demon King brought him back to reality, "Her foundation has obviously been replaced by the Demon Race, so why can she still borrow the power of the light attribute like this?"
