Lord Demon is behind you

The demon king stared at him without blinking.

Should I ask now?Ask him the answer to the question - ask him why he likes himself as a human being?

The brave man clenched his fingers unconsciously.

"for……"

--no.Can't ask.

When the words came to his mouth, he forcibly turned a corner.

"Why... well... I, I trust you. I won't doubt my companion."

In order to conceal the strange feeling between his words, the brave man hastily lowered his head, quickly cut open the carbon-like food on the plate, forked a small piece and sent it to his mouth.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"

The devil broke out in despair, leaned over from across the table, and pressed his hand again.

"—Why do you still eat!

"In order to stop you, I have explained all the annoying past?! After hearing that, don't you understand that the food cooked by the demons will eat people to death, really will die! This It's not alarmist talk at all, but my personal experience, so you should listen to my opinion a little bit!"

"—Ah..." The brave man paused.

"By the way, you just said that it was for..." It proves that these foods cannot be eaten.

The impact of the incident itself was too great, causing him to completely forget the original intention of the other party.

He propped his chin on the bottom of the fork, with a look of helplessness on his face.

"But, even if you say that... I still have to eat it. Anyway, this is Olga's specially prepared food."

He couldn't help feeling sorry for Olga. If she ate something here and praised her, she should be happier too.

"Brave...you..."

The Demon King struggled for a moment, then sighed with a complicated expression.

"Facing girls you don't like, it's better for you to be more unfeeling?"

"...I understand this. However, under the premise that it is absolutely impossible, I want to at least make her happy."

The moment they became witches, they had already given up the possibility of falling in love with the hero.Now that it's all like this, it doesn't matter if you give her a little bit of affirmation, right?

"It's because you are too gentle that the other party can't make up his mind to give up on you. This is also your advantage, but—"

While speaking, the Demon King suddenly—

Picking up his own fork, he poked into the brave man's plate with lightning speed, snatching away the black substance inside.

"……Hey!"

"Don't worry, I won't die if I eat it. The digestive system of advanced demons is much stronger than that of humans, so—" the demon king narrowed his eyes triumphantly, "Even if I try to eat it, I should come here. Leave it to me!"

If you want to eat, you can cut it yourself, why do you want to grab what is on other people's plates!

The brave stood up in a hurry, but it seemed too late to stop him.

The demon king sent an unknown substance into his mouth with the momentum of death.

at this time--

"Stop it, you, damn big rubbish in the devil world!"

Suddenly, a woman's angry voice came from nowhere.It was a very familiar voice that I had just heard not long ago.

"...?!"

The Demon King stopped moving.

The two jumped up from their seats at the same time, and put on a guarded posture——

That voice is clearly...

The door behind him opened at some point.Standing gracefully at the door is the boss who disappeared on the third floor, the witch Xuelu.

Sure enough, she also reached the fourth floor, and finally reappeared.

"Why do you suddenly appear at this time! Don't you even let people eat a meal?"

The demon king hid behind while complaining, while the brave man quickly adjusted his position, guarding against her possible attack at any time.As expected, they have gone through a lot of storms together, and the two of them have more or less a tacit understanding against the enemy.

However, on the contrary, the witch had no intention of launching an attack at all.She just stepped gracefully into the house and closed the door again.

"I'm very sorry, Brave-sama. I left without saying goodbye before, and then delayed seeing you again until now..."

She bent slightly.The brave man didn't answer, but put away the holy sword, replaced it with a spare weapon, and put on a defensive posture.

"You don't need to be on guard like this," she let out a long breath, "Although I don't want to admit it——but, I don't want to fight with you right now. At least, I don't want to right now."

"Hey? Don't you want to fight?"

High-ranking demons cannot tell lies—the demon lord just said that.Besides, according to Xuelu's previous performance, it doesn't look like she will use lies to deceive the brave.She should be the type who will only pounce on people directly.

In other words, what she said was true: she had no will to fight right now.

"To say why..."

Xuelu had displeasure written all over her face.

"Because I don't get along with the cat girl on this floor at all, so I don't want her to know that I had to escape into her area with my tail between my legs. It's really embarrassing... But once you fight, it belongs to the witch Her power will be felt immediately."

"Hey, so you two have a good relationship?"

The Demon King poked his head out from behind the brave man, and made a sound of interest.

"I remember it was... pretty good, right?"

In Brave's memory, the relationship among team members has always been harmonious.Everyone pays great attention to the feelings of others, even if there is occasional small friction, they can always give in and be considerate to each other.

Xuelu has always been gentle and tolerant, and Olga can show a lively smile to everyone—at least, they haven't had any conflicts on the surface.

"It's impossible to have a good relationship with that kind of person," the witch snorted. "She is obviously useless in battle. She can only do odd jobs and work as a servant, but she always shamelessly Occupying the position next to the Brave-sama—this kind of ignorant type is the most annoying!"

"Wow - is this the so-called woman's jealousy?" The Demon King sighed ambiguously.

The brave man choked.

For the first time, serious cracks appeared in the picture of the happiness spent with my companions in my memory.

"What, Miss Xuelu, have you... always thought this way? Always..."

"That's right. Not only me, but everyone hates her too. Because, everyone wants to spend more time with Mr. Brave. Isn't it normal to be jealous? It's just..."

She tilted her head and smiled.

"I used to be a fool. I always thought it was wrong, so I kept indulging in self-loathing. As long as I was a little bit jealous, I ran to the idol and confessed endlessly. I kept telling myself that this kind of feeling should not be there. Yes, say that that useless cat girl is also an important partner——At that time, I was really a complete fool!"

"..."

The brave man's heart sank slightly.

It seems that the former Miss Xuelu was indeed a normal and good person, even if there was a little malice, it was just suppressed in the bottom of her heart.It's just that after becoming a witch now, the negative feelings in the past have been infinitely magnified.

"No matter how much you worry about gains and losses and try to maintain your integrity, it is impossible to tie the brave man by your side!" She waved her arms vigorously, "I am the right one now. Ah, that's right! I hate daring The guy who occupies the hero, whether it's the meowing cat girl or the demon maggots who sneak in, I hate it so much! I hate it so much that I want to kill them!"

"Oh, yes? That would be a great honor."

The Demon King showed no signs of fear, and even proudly grabbed the brave man's sleeve, as if declaring his sovereignty.

"However, filthy witch, no matter how jealous you are, it's useless. To this day, I am the only companion of the brave man, the one who can stand beside him openly; and you can only be like a gutter mouse, It’s all about venting these boring resentments in the sewer!”

"……Well!"

Xue Lu seemed to have been stabbed to the point, her hands clenched her chest convulsively.

"You, damn bug, how dare you...!"

"...Miss Xuelu."

In order to prevent the situation from getting out of control, the brave man had to speak out to bring the conversation back on track.

"Although you said that you don't want to be exposed for the time being, even if it's out of our will, we can't stop fighting you. So—"

The purpose of the brave man is to eliminate the ten witches, and there is no end to death between each other.

"I know. It is precisely to avoid this situation that I have not appeared in front of you," she restrained her anger a little. "If you insist on launching an attack, I will retreat immediately."

"...Then why are you out now?"

"If you, a maggot, weren't too shameless, I didn't want to show up—"

She cast an angry glance at the Demon Lord.

"How dare you touch the food I prepared for the brave man! That is not something you are qualified to eat. I made the lunch for love with my own hands, and only the brave man deserves to taste it!"

"What, you said you prepared this table?"

This completely exceeded the expectations of the two of them.The devil immediately threw the fork in his hand: "Didn't the cat girl say she made it! Wait, could it be that—"

"Hoo hoo, hoo hoo, hoo hoo ha ha..."

Xuelu let out a creepy laugh.

"That's what happened! For a woman, the food cooked with her own hands represents a heart full of love. How could I allow her to convey her love to the heart of the brave man so smoothly? I will not let this opportunity go away For the most hated rival in love! Even if I want to do it, I have to do it."

"But, Miss Xuelu, you..."

There are a lot of questions.First of all, this holy woman should have never had cooking experience. I am afraid that she doesn't even know the need to pour oil and salt in cooking, and she can't tell the difference between boiling, stewing, frying, frying and roasting.

"Indeed, I'm not good at this kind of work. There's nothing I can do about it. After all, I was raised as a saint for the first half of my life. I don't know how to do jobs that please men like cooking. Learned," she sighed with some melancholy, "but the matter has come to this point, and we can only do our best—fortunately, the catgirl's kitchen is not well-defended, so it is easy to sneak in, and the ingredients inside can be taken casually .”

No no, cooking is not to please men, but to fill the stomach, right?How embarrassing are the male chefs all over the world with your words!as well as--

"What do you mean by doing your best, is throwing the ingredients directly on the fire and roasting them until they are burnt?" the demon king complained.

Xuelu didn't know if she pretended not to hear, or if she blocked the voice of the Demon King in her head, she just stared at the brave man blindly.

"Come on, Lord Brave! Please eat the lunch of love prepared by me, or..." She held her cheeks and smiled in a trance, "Do you want me to do it and feed the food into your mouth? ? Ah, you can also mouth-feed—”

It's really bad—bad, inside and out.

Painful memories from the previous level surged into his mind one after another, and the brave man had the urge to run away for a moment.

"...Miss Xuelu, there is one more question."

He quickly changed the subject.

"Olga should have prepared food too. How is the food now?"

"I said, you brave man... why are you still thinking about this, do you just want to eat it so much?"

"Uh, because, those are food..."

And, to be honest, I really want to eat some.

Xuelu giggled a few times with a clear face, and answered as expected.

"Of course it's poured into the sewer—I really want to do it, but, is it the most shameful thing to waste food? I know, Mr. Brave hates waste the most. So, even if those things come from rivals Hand, I can't do such a thing."

The crumbling witch licked her lips regretfully.

"No way, I can only eat it reluctantly."

——It turned out to be eaten by you!

"What is this? Can you have a little bit of backbone, you! What's the matter if you eat the food made by your rival?! Is your brain okay? This is too strange, ah, no, this woman..."

The Demon King calmed down a little, and continued to mutter in a low voice.

"This woman has already gone crazy..."

A lunatic like her can't be measured by common sense.

"I don't care about backbone or anything. But..."

She narrowed her eyes and smiled, "That cat girl is indeed quite capable in this regard. The food she cooks is really good at recovering stamina. Thanks to her, the health points I lost earlier are also—"

——She should have had very little HP left due to the demon king's self-destruction attack, but now it has recovered to the point where it is close to full.
