Lord Demon is behind you

"Speaking of which, why did Miss Xuelu destroy the third floor?"

When the two climbed up the stairs side by side, the brave man thought of this question.

"I don't know, and it's pointless to try to understand the brain circuit of a madman. Maybe she wants to take revenge, or just want to lure the brave to the fourth floor-how many possibilities are there? how many."

When the two of them reached the door of the stairwell, the door was already half open.This meant that someone had already passed here before them—that is to say, Xue Lu went up to the fourth floor ahead of them.

"It may also be because she is worried about a situation like 'the hero didn't know that the boss had left, and spent a lot of time searching in the maze on the third floor, but he still couldn't find anyone'... If this is the case, she is quite For the sake of the brave."

While chatting and moving forward, it didn't take long for the entrance to the fourth floor to appear in front of them.

The door was indeed half-closed.

The brave man cautiously opened the door, but there were neither mobs nor bosses inside, only a spacious and empty dark corridor extending inward endlessly.

After both of them stepped into the corridor, a faint blue light suddenly flickered not far in front of them.A magical image quickly took shape——

The youthful and beautiful face of a young girl is projected on the screen.

"Meow? Can you hear me, Mr. Brave? Hear-get-get-meow? I'm sorry, meow, because this is the first time Olga uses magic projection, and I'm not very proficient. I'm sorry if I make a mistake. Meow, please forgive me meow! Meow meow (heart)~"

The moment she appeared, the entire scene turned a youthful pink.

——If one word were to be used to describe this girl, it would be "cute".

Wearing hair accessories in the shape of cat ears, wearing well-designed maid outfits, breasts that are ready to show, golden pupils like cat's eyes, and a lively smiling face, the whole body is full of elements that men like——

In a word, this is the so-called "vitality cat girl".

"Olga? What are you..."

Why is it her?And what's the matter with this meowing tone?

The brave man was caught off guard.

The girl's beautiful big eyes moved nimbly, passing over the brave man and the devil.That smile became brighter and brighter, but at the same time it was subtly distorted—as if the seal had faded.

"—Anyway, you should have known it a long time ago... Olga is a rustic girl who has never been exposed to the mysteries of magic. It is only natural that she does not know how to use this kind of thing. She must have no expectations in her heart, right?"

What is she talking about?The brave man was stunned for a moment.

"Oh, I know this one this time!" After looking up and down at the image for a while, the Demon King suddenly let out an excited voice, "She is the girl who was in charge of cooking in your team before!"

"Uh, there's nothing wrong with saying that. She's in charge of the logistics."

The brave man said with some uncertainty, "But, I always feel that there is something wrong with her..."

"Oh meow, I was actually remembered, Olga is so happy meow! Thanks to the previous demon king for being willing to remember me meow~"

"...Eh, eh?"

Probably because they have been targeted by these witches for too long, and it is rare to meet a non-hostile one, but the demon king is suddenly at a loss.

"—Although even if it is remembered, it is only because of being in charge of cooking. In the end, it is only Olga's food that is remembered, not Olga herself. After all, Olga, who is useless, can only be used for cooking. Got it."

The upper half of his face suddenly darkened, and his smile twisted again.

"..."

"..."

"Hero," the Demon King said solemnly, "Did this woman have such a personality before?"

"...I don't think so."

"What are you talking about, Mr. Brave, Olga has always been Olga, the Olga who will always support you no matter what happens, nya. Even if you transform into a witch, nya. In summary-"

She raised her right hand, which was held in the shape of a cat's paw.

"Please treat the fourth floor of Demon King City as a welfare level, and play with a relaxed and happy mood, meow!"

"—Well, it sounds noble, but it's just because... Olga is a logistician who doesn't know how to use weapons or magic, so she can't fight people at all. So I gave up completely."

It seems that every time there is no "喵" at the end of a sentence, her attitude will suddenly change from vigorous to gloomy... It's like a personality change.

The brave man was speechless for a while, while the Demon King rubbed his chin thoughtfully.

"You said this floor is a welfare gate? Does that mean you can pass this floor without doing anything?"

"It's basically like this meow. Although I have designed a few small levels for the time being, they are very simple and not dangerous meow. Then, please take care of me next time! See you later meow, Mr. Brave, and the former Demon King, bye bye—"

The magic image cut off.

For a moment, the devil and the brave just stood there, looking at each other without saying a word.

"Well... as a witch, she really is... the complete opposite of Yuan Qi's appearance, and she's unmotivated."

It was the Demon King who broke the silence first.

indeed.Although she used to be a pure support staff, not even an auxiliary system, but if she really wanted to fight against the brave, no matter if it was arranging deadly traps or powerful monsters, there was always a way.

"However, this should not be a bad thing for us."

Certainly not a bad thing.but--

"But... Olga, after all, is the devil king of this level." The brave man sighed.

The two walked forward while chatting piecemeal.

"That is to say, she must be defeated in the end..."

When I think about it this way, I feel that it is difficult to relax.

As the two went deeper into the corridor, the pink light on the wall became more and more intense, and images of human faces gradually emerged.

Big ones, small ones, heads up, down or left and right, spinning, shaking; countless frontal close-ups are displayed layer by layer, up, down, left, and right. They seem to be different, but they are all the same person smiling face——

Catgirl Olga's "full of energy" smiling face.

This hallway is full of catgirls' faces.Like, the space formed by superimposing that face——

"Wow, what is this! A new type of mental attack?"

The Demon King wrinkled his face, bluntly expressing his disgust.

Then, from nowhere came a witch-like cheerful voice.

"Master Brave, and the former Demon King, welcome to the 'Olga's Smile Corridor', I hope you can be fully healed by the countless smiling faces of Olga~!"

"In order to heal everyone more and more, Olga will definitely work harder to send smiling cats!"

After the audio ended, the smiling faces all over the corridor increased instead of decreasing.

"No, no, there are already enough, it should be said that there are too many! There are too many to form spiritual pollution!... Brave, don't just watch, but also come to express your protest!"

"No matter what you say here, it's the Demon King's City. No matter how you say it, she's the enemy's boss. What's the use of protesting?"

Besides, the brave didn't think this corridor was that annoying.

"Do you dislike her face very much?"

"It's impossible to like it! It's so disgusting... Ah, but if I can change the pattern into the face of a brave man, I will accept it. If so many brave men are watching me, it will definitely be a heavenly experience! "

"...No, that would be more disgusting."

The brave man imagined it roughly, and immediately got goose bumps all over his body.

A cute girl like Olga is naturally pleasing to the eye no matter how she looks at it, and her smile is indeed healing.As for a muscular man like myself... Only a guy like the Demon King with completely abnormal aesthetics would find him attractive.

In short, even if he said that, the hero would not be happy at all.

"Because I like Brave, of course there are no too many images of my sweetheart... Wait! So, Brave, do you like Catgirl?!"

The Demon King seemed to feel a sudden crisis.

"What do you like..."

It's really not disgusting, but it's purely an appreciation of cute things, not a "like" in the sense of love between men and women-otherwise he wouldn't have rejected Olga's confession before.

"However, Olga is indeed the member with the best relationship with me in the team. I knew her early, we have a close background, and we have many opportunities to act together, so it should be called... a friend."

Friends are not the same as companions.Companions are existences that fight side by side and trust each other, but friends must be able to communicate on an equal footing and be considerate of each other.

In the previous team, there were many powerful figures such as the eldest lady, the princess, and the saint.Of course they are reliable partners in battle, but they are basically unreliable in daily life and travel: let alone camping and burning fires, they may not even be able to check in at hotels.

Moreover, the brave man himself is just an orphan from a poor family, without any prominent background, and sometimes he feels that it is difficult to get along with these noble figures.

However, Olga is different.

Olga's parents were refugees from the Northern Orc Federation, and they disappeared after throwing her away.And she was adopted by the kind hotel proprietress and grew up as a waiter in a small shop.

When she was a teenager, the proprietress died of illness and left the shop to her.

Because she has a small amount of cat blood, her appearance is particularly eye-catching, especially her eyes are exactly like cats, so she simply dressed up as a cat lady to attract guests.

Because of her cute looks, many guests came here especially, and the business was quite prosperous at first.However, this appearance also brought disasters - soon some local nobles who heard about it coveted her beauty, intending to take her as a plaything for concubines.

After she refused, the other party hired hooligans to go to the store to make trouble. After doing this a few times, the business in the store was completely deserted.

"The subsequent development should be——you happened to pass by when she was bullied by a gangster, so you saved her, right?" The devil continued, "I know, you have done this kind of thing many times, brave."

"Not many times... Even if there were many times, it should be the first time."

That was many years ago, when the brave man was still very young, only eighteen or nineteen years old.The adventure time is not long enough, and the experience is not enough. As a result, when the gangsters were defeated, they caused even more damage to the store.

"The whole store has become dilapidated, the tables are all broken into pieces of wood, and there is no place to stay in the lobby... It's more like a typhoon passing than being smashed. I feel sorry after I react , hastily apologized to her as the owner of the hotel. But..."

Olga just smiled and said it was okay, and said that she would not be able to live in the local area anyway.

Even if the brave man can help her this time, since she has been targeted by the local nobles, there is no way out if she stays here and does not leave.The reason why I have been hesitating all this time is that I can't bear to leave the store left by the proprietress. Now that even the store has been destroyed...

"I don't remember exactly what I said. When I realized it..." the brave man scratched his cheek and said, "It turned into a situation of traveling together."

"Aha??"

"Because, she has nowhere to go..."

The brave man was indeed too young at that time, and he didn't know how to deal with such a thing at all.Olga is only fourteen or fifteen years old. Although she is acting strong, she probably doesn't know what to do next.

For this kind of lonely little girl, I always feel that I can't leave it alone.

I don't know who proposed it first, but in short, the two became partners inexplicably.

Olga was the first teammate to follow the brave.

Later, there were more and more people in the team, and the newly joined partners either had strong combat power or had a considerable background, but she still stayed by the brave man's side, helping prepare food, go through procedures, sort out supplies, and purchase Props, handling various logistical matters——

"Basically, it's been six or seven years since we first met. It's been a long time... Eh?"

Suddenly realizing that the Demon King hadn't followed, the brave man turned his head in surprise, and saw the latter squatting for some reason a dozen steps away, hugging his knees in frustration and burying his face in the cloak.

"What, what's wrong?" Why does he look like he has a stomachache? ?
