Lord Demon is behind you

—has he remembered? !

The brave man's heart beat violently.However, after looking carefully, he found that the Demon King had no sign of recalling anything.The look in the eyes of the other party is still unfamiliar, but it just adds a little bit of confusion.

"did you--"

"It's so disrespectful, human!" The female official yelled sharply, "You actually looked directly at the lord's face!"

"It doesn't matter, this kind of thing." Instead, the devil waved his hand to stop her, "I am not afraid of others looking at my face."

"but--"

"Retire for me. Compared with that, my business is more important now."

The devil suddenly jumped down the steps.He deftly spread his wings to support his body, and at the same time used basic wind spells to speed up, sliding down to the bottom of the steps in the blink of an eye.

He came to the brave man in three steps at a time, leaned forward, and stared straight at the brave man's face from the opposite side.

——Too, too close!

By the time the brave man realized it, the opponent's face was already at a close distance of less than ten centimeters.The pair of eyes that were as clear as handicrafts were facing him without blinking, looking from the top of the hair to the tip of the chin, and then from the tip of the left ear to the tip of the right ear, observing carefully in this way——

He instinctively wanted to step back, but his cheeks were suddenly caged by the Demon King.

"Don't move, wait a minute."

The opponent didn't use much force, but the brave man stopped; more precisely, he froze on the spot.

When his cheek was suddenly held by the opponent's hands, his brain simply stopped working.

What, what's going on... This posture seems to be...

...the other party is a man.I am also a man.It doesn't seem like a big deal to be touched by a man. Even if I feel strange, it should be out of disgust, not... like now, my face is inexplicably hot.

The brave man knows that he has always been insensitive to other people's feelings, but he can always distinguish his own feelings clearly; when faced with the confessions of those girls before, he was also able to clearly distinguish between love and friendship between companions.Because of this, he felt that the situation was particularly bad now.

I am shaking.Of course, I've been wavering ever since I teamed up with the Demon Lord, but this time it's especially strong.

The other party is obviously a man.Why, why on earth did I have to do this in front of someone of the same sex!

It must be because the face is so deceiving...it must be.

he thought desperately.

Speaking of which, this guy probably did it on purpose.Are the hobbies of the demons so weird?

——However, until now, the Demon King's face is still full of innocence, and his observation is also [-]% serious, as if he is really confused by the sudden sense of déjà vu.

He looked at the brave man's face very seriously, and finally came to a conclusion.

"No, I probably haven't seen it. I can't remember it at all."

"..."

The hands left the brave man's face, but the brave man who heard these words was not happy at all.

Sure enough, you still can't restore your memory?Was it just a subconscious reaction...

"Well, it doesn't matter. No matter who you are, you are special to me. I know that very well."

The Demon Lord seemed to accept the reality very easily, but the brave man couldn't give up just like that.

His purpose is to make the other party realize that this is not a reality, so as to break the illusion; if the illusion cannot be broken, everything will lose its meaning.

He silently rubbed his face where the temperature was gradually dissipating, and asked unwillingly: "But you also feel familiar, right? To me, uh, to me."

The Demon King didn't speak for a moment, but continued to stare at him, frowning and thinking.

"Pay attention to your words and deeds, human beings!" The female officer once again warned with a serious face, "The lord has lived in the mansion since birth, and grew up under the correct guidance of the previous lord, it is impossible for anyone to know the lowly human beings." Opportunity. Your lord must have been delusional because of exhaustion—”

The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.The Demon King finally looked away from the brave man, straightened up, and looked over coldly.

"I don't think it's an illusion. And I'm sober now. Are you going to question my judgment?"

The magic power that had been weakened just now gathered wildly again. This time, not only the humans, but even the female officer bowed down in panic.

"I'm very sorry! The subordinates never dare to question the lord—it's just..."

"Also, it doesn't matter to other humans, but it is forbidden to use any form of negative adjectives on this person. From now on, be sure to receive him as the most honored guest."

Completely ignoring the other party, he said in one breath.

Are you, are you really nice to human beings like this? !

If other human beings could look up, they must have poked him into a hedgehog with hostile eyes by now.We are all ordinary human beings, only he suddenly got the special treatment from the lord, and thus ascended to the sky in one step, and it would be strange not to arouse the jealousy of his fellows-even a brave man can figure this out.

There are not many big scenes where the brave come in and out, but every time they rely on their martial arts, they have never been pushed to the front of the stage so inexplicably.For a moment, he only felt like a thorn in his back.

——We can’t let this guy continue acting at will.The hero made a quick decision and grabbed the Demon King's arm.

"—Can we talk alone?"

The hall fell into complete silence again for a while.

Only then did the brave realize that in this situation, "alone" and "talking" themselves have very subtle meanings.He let go of his hands in embarrassment.

"Ah, no, I just want to tell you something..."

"Of course!"

The arm that hadn't had time to retract was grabbed hard.

The demon king firmly held the brave man's arm with both hands, his eyes were shining brightly.

"Of course no problem! Come with me, whether it's resting, talking or planning the future, anything is fine, I will definitely accompany you all!"

--what……

Fascinated by the situation in front of him, the brave man didn't even bother to explore the subtle meaning of the other party's speech for a while.

"Alive..."

The gesture of an inanimate object disappeared.

This guy... A moment ago, he had a pair of glass bead-like eyes, a lifeless demon lord like a doll, but now he showed a happy smile.

As if being injected with vitality and vitality for an instant, he smiled happily from the bottom of his heart——

I seem to be confused by this smile.The brave subconsciously pressed his heart to calm down the abnormal beating of the heart.

Just like that, the brave man who missed the best time to protest was pulled by the Demon King and walked out of the hall.

"Wait, my lord?!" The female officer didn't seem to expect such a development, "But the conversion ceremony still—"

"Let them wait!" The Demon King shouted without looking back, "Don't bother me for now, there are more important things to do here!"

This is such a standard foolish king.Putting aside the serious things that should be dealt with, just taking people to the room to have fun, if it is changed to the human world, it will definitely be recorded as a bad behavior.

but……

At least this time, Brave didn't intend to block it.

Although I am very sorry for those humans, there are indeed more important things to do here.

■

——Unexpectedly, the room in front of me was not very luxurious.The walls are surrounded by bookshelves as high as the ceiling, and the books on them are almost overflowing. It is only because of the barriers set around that they do not collapse.They even show a higher sense of presence than the soft bed in the middle, which makes people suspect that this is not actually a bedroom, but a study.

Although humans don't know the characters of the demons, but looking at the cover, it can be seen that more than half of them are books related to humans.

The brave man was standing in the middle of the room in a daze.

This is—the private room of the Lord of the Demon World.

Just now the Demon King brought him to the living area in the back half of the palace, and then he left suddenly. He said that he should think about it alone first—maybe he realized how much he had done by abandoning his official duties, so he turned his head and continued. Presided over the conversion ceremony.

Then the maids of the Demon Race surrounded him with extra hospitality, and prepared rich food and even a change of clothes for him.

What is this all about?

Leaving aside other things... Even if you eat and bathe in the illusion, it is impossible to have an effect on the body in reality.

I just want to have a good talk with him.Do you have to eat, sleep, bathe and smell incense before talking?The brave man sat down on the chair by the table and thought with puzzlement.

...Ah, could it be that?That is, um, the habits of nobles or something like that.

The brave man came from a humble background, so he doesn't know much about it, but after all, he has gotten along with noble ladies, and he also knows that when nobles meet guests or visit others, they will clean up neatly, decently, and be full of energy, otherwise they will be regarded as rude.

So...he looked down at himself.

Since entering the illusion, he has been in a state where it is difficult to take a good rest, and he has experienced a lot of troubles. Now his appearance is really far from the word "decent".Wearing leather armor full of scratches, the clothes are also crumpled.

So that guy thinks...he looks like he is not suitable for a good conversation?

After all, the other party is not a weak magister who has lost the throne of the demon king (it seems not right to say that the 99th level magister is a weak chicken...), but a noble lord of the demon world. It is normal to pay attention to this aspect .

Even so...

I always feel like I'm being rejected.

There is a subtly unpleasant feeling.The brave man sighed and checked the change of clothes prepared by the other party.

——It is a light leather armor suit in line with human habits. The style is a bit old, but the costume itself is brand new.The material is first-class excellent.

Could it be the property of the humans who were exiled to the demon world before?This doubt made him even more uncomfortable.

However, there is currently no better option.If you want to meet and talk with the devil, you can only accept the other party's arrangement.

No matter how much he sighed, the hero had no choice but to obey.

■

After washing off the dust all over his body in the bathroom, changing his clothes and returning to his room, the brave man discovered that the new clothes fit him unexpectedly.

There are a few more maids in the room, and they are tidying up everywhere.

"Have you finished your bath yet?"

The one I've seen before - the maid who was in the same room last night talking and gossiping, just opened the window, then turned around and bowed her head to him.

"Ah, oh..."

The brave man suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling of misplaced hands and feet.

"That... Ai, the lord, he—"

"Please take it easy."

The maid continued to lower her head and replied very respectfully.

"You are a distinguished guest of the lord. If you have any orders, just say them directly. I will do my best to serve you."

VIP...?

Speaking of which, that guy did say something like "treat him as the most honored guest" before.

Although the other party's overly humble attitude still made him very uncomfortable, but after realizing the importance of the Demon King, the clogged thing in his heart seemed to gradually dissipate a little.

"That, may I ask. Sir, where is he now?"

"Do you want to see the lord?" The maid responded immediately as if she had guessed that he would ask this question, "We have been ordered to take you there immediately when you want to see him."

"...No, it's not needed for the time being."

Out of extremely contradictory psychology, the brave temporarily chose to refuse.Although he regretted it as soon as he said it.

"Okay. When you need it, please be sure to summon us."

After the maids left, the brave man fell into a sad state of being alone in a daze.

A gentle breeze stirred the pages of the book on the table.This scene was so peaceful that he even felt dazed for a moment.

but……

The wind is completely imperceptible to the skin.

This is inside the illusion, the brave reminded himself again.No matter how delicious the food is, you won't feel full after eating it; you won't feel cool and comfortable when the water falls on your body.Everything is false, only oneself and the devil are real in this world.So, if you don't wake him up...

If there is no way to wake him up, the two of them will die here together.

That being said.

...What should I do?

The windows are facing the perfect garden.Looking out from the window, the outside was sunny and full of flowers, and he saw at a glance that the Demon King was sitting cross-legged on the edge of the table in the courtyard, with his back to this side, motionless.

That rascal……

Although they haven't been able to have a good conversation until now, the brave man is somewhat aware of it.

The guy didn't notice anything unusual.It doesn't feel like an "unreal" place at all.

Is it like Shaka said before...?

"As long as you design a comfortable world, and then erase the specific goal of action, he will immediately become extremely lazy"... Is he completely addicted to the false world?

This can not blame him.Such a place where power, money, and pleasure are all lacking is enough to wipe out the fighting spirit of most people.

So... what to say to wake him up.

After waiting for a while, the brave finally couldn't wait anymore.

do not care.Just staring at each other's back helplessly, I always find it extremely unbearable.

With such a short distance, it was unnecessary to find someone to lead the way.He simply flipped out of the window and strode forward.

"Ah You……"

Probably aware of the aura behind him, the Demon King stood up and turned around in time.

"……You're here."

He looks kind of weird.

His eyes were a little dodgy, and his speech was hesitant.

It looks a little familiar.Oh... the brave man remembered, on the night at the source of all evil, that is, the night when the defeated Demon King suddenly called him outside the place to confess his confession—he seemed to be like this at that time.

...very, bad feeling.But now, he can no longer escape.

The brave man took a deep breath: "Can you talk to me now? I'm here to explain..."

"Can you tell me your name?"

……Hey?

The topic changed a bit quickly.

"Ah, uh, uh..."

The brave man responded somewhat dullly.

"Arthur Crane. . . . my name."

Speaking of which, for the current Demon Lord, this is a completely unfamiliar name.

"Okay!" The other party seemed to know some great mystery, bent his eyes and smiled, "I will definitely remember it forever. Then, my name is Albert. Albert S. Tellerstein-"

"I know." said the brave man.

"Eh? Ah, the point is not the surname, but the first name, the first name."

"I also..." I already knew the name.

"Then, I already figured it out."

Having said that, the other party raised his head and took a step forward with an unquestionable momentum.

He took the brave man's hand.

Then--

Suddenly he knelt down on one knee.

The crisp sound of knees knocking on the slate floor, the brave man could not help but tremble when he heard it.However, the Demon King seemed unconscious, and just grabbed the opponent's wrist and said loudly.

"That...although it may be a bit sudden—anyway, please marry me!"
