Lord Demon is behind you

The surrounding scenery spread layer by layer like ripples, and changed into another appearance in an instant.Knowing that he was teleported into the boss's room by the mechanism, the brave man collected himself and turned his head to look around.

The first reaction is that this room is much simpler than he imagined.Miss Emily was born in a famous family, so she naturally prefers extravagance, and she often likes to decorate her private room extremely gorgeously; and although this place is as spacious as a small training ground, there are not many luxuries, and the whole room looks a bit empty... sloppy... …

While thinking this way, he moved his eyes, and looked eye to eye with the eldest lady on the other side of the room.

"--scare!"

The opponent froze on the spot.

"...!"

The brave man was also stunned.

In the girl's arms, she was holding a large number of hanging paintings, wall decorations, models, pillows and the like.

Let's not talk about anything else, let's just talk about the palm-sized Nendoroids mixed in.That image with blond hair, a holy sword at the waist, and light armor - no matter how you look at it -

Forced by the reality in front of him, the brave felt a strong suffocation.Out of evasion, his eyes subconsciously wandered elsewhere.

Unlike the empty space in the first half, a corner of the room is fully decorated.However, what are placed in the cabinet, hung on the wall, and stood on the table are not exquisite ornaments that suit the aristocrat's preferences, but decorative blankets printed with someone's image, teacups and vases printed with someone's image, according to someone's image. Toy figures made of images... There is even a vertical board that is the same height as a real person poked in the corner.

Even on the wall lamp above the head, the densely packed gemstones are vaguely arranged in the shape of someone.

……very scary.

- Terrible, terrible, terrible -

Why is my face printed on everything!

Realizing what an incredible field he had stepped into, the brave man felt an unprecedented chill in his heart.

"Ahhhhh! You, you, why did you come so fast!!"

The eldest lady screamed and let go of her hands, and the things in her arms fell to the ground with a clatter.

"No, no, no, no, no, no!" She clasped her head in her hands and shook desperately, jumping her feet repeatedly, "It's not what you think! I didn't print you on daily necessities, and I ate dinner in front of you every day! No! Put you on the pillow and hug you to sleep! You didn’t do that kind of perverted behavior! This...these...right!"

She suddenly pointed at the demon king who had just followed in and shouted: "These are all remnants of the previous generation! The whole room is left over from the previous generation, I just didn't have time to clean it up. I'm afraid you might mistake me for that kind of interest." , I was going to clean up just now, but you came before I finished cleaning up, yes, that's all!"

"Are you insulting my IQ?" The accused devil puffed up his cheeks unhappily, "It is true that the layout of this room is high-end, and I do have a similar room, but the collection I have is much farther away." Above this level! And who do you think I am, how could I make the mistake of leaving an important collection in an abandoned house? Of course you have to carry it with you uh uh uh—”

The brave man strangled his neck in despair.

I always feel that if I continue to listen, the tendon called "reason" in my brain will be broken.

Regardless of companions (past and present) or enemies (present and past), this is the virtue. Is this world really okay...

"...Miss Emily."

Thinking that he could only break the status quo by himself, he took the initiative to speak.

"According to what I said before, we have fought all the way here to meet you. I will never allow you to do evil things as a demon king. Whether it is as a brave man or as a former companion, I must stop you."

"..." Emily silently kicked away the hanging scroll at her feet.Both sides tried to pretend that the previous incident hadn't happened.

"Really? Then let me praise you for the time being. It's a good thing that you can break through here, Mr. Brave. However, your efforts can only go so far. Because here, this lady will personally solve you Lose."

She returned to her usual haughty look, although that look seemed to be trying to be brave.

"—Is it necessary to fight?"

The brave man let out a sigh from the bottom of his heart.

"—I understand. I have already made up my mind."

He put his hand on the hilt of his sword.

"However, before that, I still have to say 'sorry' to you."

The apology I said to the door earlier must also be conveyed to the real person.

—"Ha... please don't make trouble with Miss Emily," he replied that evening, in a most insincere way, "you can't like me, and I can't like you, either, After all, I'm just a poor country boy."

"Yes... that's right..."

The girl let go of her hand and took a step back.She looked up at the moon with a forced smile on her lips.

"Of course it's just a joke. I just think it's too pitiful for you to go back to your hometown alone, so I just comfort you! How could I, like you? How could I..."

Just like this, on that night—the moonlit night when he heard the girl's thoughts, he used excessively cruel words to destroy other people's wishes.At that time, he even simply thought that the eldest lady was just making fun of him - after all, with her demeanor, she should not look down on a poor boy like him no matter what.

Although there should be no difference in the result, if he could do it all over again, he would definitely choose a gentler and more sincere way of refusing.

"--shut up."

The eldest lady flicked her hair and said lightly.

"I just don't want to hear you say this. What do you think of me as a weak person who needs your mercy? Life is a failure?"

"No, I just—"

The brave man was at a loss.He just felt that he had done something wrong and wanted to convey his apology, but it only backfired.

"Brave, this is indeed your fault," the devil interjected. "According to the rules of human society, the biggest insult given to a defeated dog is to have the hero confirm her identity as a defeated dog. Instead of apologizing to her Sending a good card, you might as well give her a good time."

"Who are you calling a loser, you faggot! Besides, what's the difference between understanding and ridicule from a rival in love? It's not fun at all!"

After a strong rebuttal, the eldest lady put her hands on her hips, turned her head to look at the silent brave man, and showed a smile—an ordinary smile without pride.

"It's all been exposed to this point, and it would be too much to insist on not admitting it. Indeed, I like you, Mr. Arthur Crane the brave. Although you are just a heartless poor boy, your The soul is so dazzling and sparkling that others cannot turn their eyes away. It is so strong and gentle from the beginning to the end, always supporting everyone to move forward. I always thought that people like you couldn't exist in reality.

"So, when I saw such a person, I unconsciously began to think, if I could monopolize his sight, if I could monopolize his love, how great it would be—"

"—Emily, miss—"

The brave man lost his breath for a moment.While Emily was smiling and talking, her skin was peeling off all over her body, like old and crumbling plaster.

"However, that's just thinking about it. Because I can't do it. I can't do things like pursuing the opposite sex, confessing, falling in love, turning the other person's heart around. Faced with not liking me man, there is nothing I can do."

The surface of her cheeks had completely collapsed into pieces.On the fragmented epidermis, traces of water were faintly drawn.

"But I'm still not reconciled. Why can't a man like me, who is talented, good-looking, capable, powerful and rich in his family, fail to attract you? Why can't a man of humble status like you come over and lick him like a dog? Where are my feet!"

The voice gradually distorted.

The appearance that originally belonged to the girl disappeared completely.

Standing there was a dark, strange creature.The female streamlines can be vaguely seen from the body shape, but the fingers and feet have turned into huge spikes.Only the eyes remain open on the face, and the nose and mouth have completely disappeared.A pair of huge bat wings spread out from behind.

"So, this unwillingness eventually turned into the current 'me'."

The sound came from nowhere.The black monster flapped its wings and set off a gust of wind, driving its entire body to slowly float into the air.

"This is, uh...! What is this—"

The brave man draws his sword to block the front, activates his skills to form a fighting spirit shield, and blocks the oncoming wind and waves.

"Don't you know?" said the demon king hiding behind his skills, "This is the sad appearance of human beings after they have fallen into demons."

"What, you mean, Miss Emily, she...!"

"Uh, so you really don't know," said the devil. "No wonder you still had the naive idea of ​​convincing her along the way. But this time, you should understand, right? These women were just ordinary human beings. And if you want to forcibly incarnate into a demon by relying on the foundation of human beings, you have to abandon some weak parts of your own nature and strengthen the particularly outstanding parts. Just like I said before——

"From the moment her soul is polluted by demonic nature, she is no longer the companion you are familiar with. What stands in front of you is just some 'other creature' that retains the memory of your companion."

Those hanging paintings, light clay and other things that were originally piled up on the opposite side were blown up by the hurricane, smashed towards the brave from time to time, and then were torn to pieces by the materialized sword energy.

"...That's right."

The brave man's hair was also blown backward by the wind pressure.He quietly watched the face that was blown to the pillow in front of him gradually shatter.

"I'm too naive."

very heavy.My heart was as heavy as if I had swallowed a lump of lead.

It's so heavy that even if you want to ignore it, you can't ignore it, and you can't face it.

Regardless of persuasion or awakening, it is obviously impossible.She can't go back at all.

That being the case, all that can be done now is——

"It is my responsibility."

He raised the holy sword high and slashed forward.The sword wind blew away the strong wind that rolled in front of his face, and then rushed straight to the opposite side of the room like a mountain.

——Let her be free, that's all.
