Lord Demon is behind you

"Well, of course I'm willing to listen to what you're willing to tell me," the devil held his chin, "but I think I should already understand your affairs well..."

"is it?"

He may have an impression in his subconscious, but he should not remember the specific content at all.

The brave man tentatively asked, "First of all, do you know who I am?"

"You are a human brave who saved the world!" The other party said without hesitation.

"..."

The brave man who was ready to explain, now got stuck in his throat.

"Why would you know..."

Definitely not recognizable by appearance.The brave thinks that his attire is no different from that of any physics department fighter, at most, his weapons are more advanced.

If it is a random guess, it is too accurate.

"Well, I don't know why..." The devil scratched his hair, "It's just that when I saw you, I felt that you must, must, and definitely be a hero." This person was born for the profession of a hero.' 'This face is synonymous with bravery', 'If he is not assigned to save the world, the world consciousness will be ashamed of it'—that's the kind of feeling made in heaven!"

This, this should be a compliment... right?Although it sounds weird.

"Well... I am indeed a brave human being." He had to skip this question and continue to ask, "Then, do you also know why I came to the Demon Realm?"

The work of saving mankind has nothing to do with the Demon Realm itself, and of course there is no need to go to the Demon Realm.And the brave man obviously has no interest in the devil world, and he didn't come here for sightseeing.

This question stumped the Demon King for a while.

"Usually human beings who yearn for demons come to our side, but you said that you don't want to convert into demons... Could it be that you accidentally fell into the crack of time and space?"

"...How is that possible?"

The so-called cracks in time and space refer to certain small teleportation portals that are naturally generated due to the overlapping of spaces.The phenomenon itself does not occur too rarely, and the openings that open are both unstable and narrow, and therefore dangerous.In the human world, "don't get close to the cracks in time and space" is the same as "don't get close to vicious monsters", which belongs to the common sense of safety that children know.

"...I really can't think of other possibilities." The Demon King had to admit.

"No...but it doesn't matter!" he added awkwardly. "What matters is the fact that you met me. You're here now, right in front of me—that's enough for me .”

Maybe it was true for him, unfortunately, the brave can't just let it go.

"That is to say... you don't understand, and don't you want to understand these things about me?"

"Ah, no, no!" The Demon King bounced up like his butt was on fire, waved his hands hastily, and said in one breath, "I will listen to whatever you say! When...Of course, this matter itself is not that important, because no matter why you I'll always love you the same way here and be forever grateful for our meeting. But it's about you, so I want to know too!"

——The current Demon Lord is really easy to deal with.He conveyed his feelings very frankly, without any intention of hiding his thoughts, easy to see through, and easy to guide; most importantly, he believed in the brave man wholeheartedly.

Well, on this last point, even the grown-up version.As he himself has always said, his heart was originally the purest, and it has not changed from the beginning to the end.

The brave man smiled faintly.

"Actually, I'm here to find someone."

"Find someone……?"

This answer should have been completely unexpected by the Demon King.He could not help leaning forward.

"What you are looking for is human... right? But most of the humans who came to the Demon Realm came to join the Demon Race... Does the person you are looking for also want to become a Demon Race?"

The brave man avoided answering these questions, but shook his head noncommittally.

"Well. Speaking of which, what kind of person are you looking for? Are there any characteristics? Tell me, if I help you find it, it will be much faster."

"Ah, thank you so much. It was a great help."

On the surface he answered solemnly, but the brave man secretly laughed inwardly.

"What I'm looking for is...my companion."

"Companion...? Ah, it means the person who works together," the Demon King propped his forehead in thought, "does this mean the person who travels with you?"

"Companions are people who fight together, take risks together, overcome difficulties together, help and support each other, and work hard for the same goal. What I am looking for is to go through many difficulties with me and save me from danger several times A very reliable partner who can always make correct judgments at critical moments."

The brave said emphatically.

I don't know if he was surprised by his extraordinarily serious attitude, but the Demon King was slightly taken aback.

"Ah, hug, I'm sorry. I don't know enough about this kind of thing, companion or something... that person... is very important to you?"

"Of course, very important."

"That's... that's right. If it's not important, you wouldn't come to the Demon Realm just for him. A place like this... It's very likely that humans will never go back after opening it. You can bet on him own life, he must be very important to you."

The Demon King smiled reluctantly.

Having said that, the brave man felt a little embarrassed.

"Actually, it's not that... I don't think about him that much either. It's just that I encountered a terrible problem during the journey. Without him by my side, I couldn't solve it by myself anyway. I was forced to have no choice..."

Something like using a spirit scroll to break into an illusion is really too messy.Even the brave, if they were not forced to face Xuelu, they would not have taken such a decisive action.

...Although the final result should not be different, after all, he can't leave the unconscious Demon King alone.

"However, aside from those words that I don't think about, even if it's him himself, I absolutely can't give up."

The brave man stood up, walked slowly to the opposite side, and said while recalling.

"Although we haven't known each other for a long time, he has helped me a lot. When I lost all my companions and was forced to face a difficult enemy, he appeared behind me and gave me unreserved support. During the journey, he always guided me in the right direction. At the critical moment, he also risked his life to save me. Without him, I would never have come to this place... Probably early Just die."

In the beginning, I just wanted to recall a little bit to stimulate the memory of the other party, so I said a long string of words without knowing it.While the brave man was reminiscing with emotion, the devil's face darkened a little bit.

"Even animals know that they have to be close to those who are friendly to them, and they have to repay the kindness that others have given to them... But any creature with a heart will not be able to easily forget it after being treated like that. And—"

"A man or a woman?"

The Demon King interrupted his words in a stiff tone.

"……Hey?"

"Ah, uh, it means that if you can grasp some appearance characteristics, it will be easier to find someone..."

He hastened to make amends, and tried to adjust his tone, but his face was still not very good-looking.

"Well, that's right. He's a man...but even though he's a man, he looks very good."

"What, looks...?" The devil's voice changed slightly.

"Well. Although everyone has their own aesthetic standards, his appearance is the type that no matter who looks at it, he will find it beautiful. Even if he is on guard, he can't help but feel shaken when facing that face .”

The brave man turned his back to the Demon King, and couldn't see his expression.He thought, when it comes to this, this guy should be able to remember a little bit, right?After all, there are not many creatures that are so good-looking.

"You...do you think so? You also think that person is beautiful... are you shaken by his appearance?"

"Yeah, because he did—"

"Then, then, what do you think, that, what do you think of me!"

With a bang, he jumped in front of the brave man, using too much force and even knocking over the chair.

The brave man didn't expect him to do this, and was really taken aback.The Demon King pursed his lips tightly and clenched his front with both hands, as if he was asking a very important question.

"'How' means..."

"It means appearance. What do you think of me?...Do you think it looks good? Or do you think..."

"Wait, why did you ask this suddenly? What we're talking about now should be about my companion."

No matter what this inexplicable question was, in short, he still didn't think of it at all.

The brave man's heart sank slightly, and then he realized the true meaning of the scene in front of him.

"Uh, that... Actually, I'm quite confident in my appearance! Then, I just... want to hear your evaluation. Well, to be precise, I want to hear you praise me."

"But it's strange to ask me to evaluate my appearance all of a sudden..."

"Do you think my face is ugly...?"

The Demon King showed a hurt look.

"What happened, all of a sudden."

"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?" - the brave man had such questions written all over his face.

"Because... I like you."

It must have been broken, the Demon King slumped his shoulders.

"Hearing someone you like in front of you, praising someone you don't know so much... This kind of thing can't be tolerated by any human or demon. Even I can't do it. I also want to hear you praise me a little What do you think of me, even if it's just a compliment to this face?... How do you compare with your companion?"

Wake up, the object of your beauty comparison is yourself.

When you have this time of jealousy, you should quickly think about it—the brave man is quite dumbfounded.

"You're pretty too," he could only say, "very pretty, and...very cute."

"Compared to that person? It's your, companion."

The Demon King seemed determined to ask for the result, so the brave man had no choice but to remain silent with black lines all over his face.

Wouldn't it be too perfunctory to answer "you both look the same" here.But in fact it's not even "same good-looking", but completely "looks the same"? !

"I-I see...I see..."

The other party seemed to regard the silence as some kind of answer, and immediately became dejected.

"That's right. Humans value the feelings accumulated in the little things we get along with each other, right? You and I just met today, so I want to compare with your important 'companion', and with the companion you have known for a long time Compared to... isn't this kind of behavior a little too overreaching?"

He lowered his eyes sadly, "I, I'm really jealous of that person. I can get to know you early, have a better relationship with you, create a lot of memories together, and let you sacrifice your life for him... If I also It would be nice to be like that. I'm jealous of him. Just thinking about it makes me breathless with jealousy."

——So, if you have the time, you might as well remember it quickly! !

The brave man stared at him strangely.

"...Actually," he said tentatively, "you and him are..."

"I know, I'm different from him. There are familiar companions over there, but this one is just a stranger who just got rid of the status of a stranger... an unfamiliar friend, right?"

No, no, you are really the same!Listen to people talk! !

"However, I will try my best." The devil reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes, raised his head suddenly, and repeated with firm eyes, "Even if I start later than that person, I will definitely catch up with the fastest speed." !I'll do my best to make you-"

"--I said."

The brave man finally spoke.

He felt that he couldn't hold on anymore.Until now, this guy still can't remember anything, even if he knows about his past, he still doesn't feel it, which is really troublesome——

"Since you think so..."

Therefore, it seems that a new method needs to be found.He suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"Would you like to be my companion?"

"Ah?" The Demon King couldn't react for a moment.

"That is to say... don't you envy him? I just want to get along with you, why don't you come with me as a companion."

——If you invite him here, then.

It is probably equivalent to advancing the team formation plot hundreds of years later to the present.

Can this illusion withstand such a huge change?

"Companion—me? But can I do it?"

Faced with this sudden proposal, the Demon King seemed a little at a loss.

"I don't know. Well, you should know that I am a human hero... I am fighting against monsters, demon kings, etc. I don't know if you can accept this kind of thing. If you want to be my companion, you must Is it okay to be an enemy of the same kind?"

"Oh, that's okay. We demons don't really have the same kind of consciousness...but do I have the qualifications..."

"Will you come?"

The brave put a hand on his shoulder.

"Just answer whether you want to or not. This is your choice, and whatever you choose is your freedom."

If it doesn't work this time... No, it will definitely work this time.He had a hunch.

"I--

"Of course I would!"

The Demon King almost shouted.

"I am willing to form a team or get married. If I can be with you, I am willing to go no matter where!"

——A slight cracking sound came from the ear.

Everything around, whether it is the beautiful garden, the exquisitely designed buildings, or the tables and chairs beside him, is atomized a little bit, turning into wisps of gray mist.

"—"

The devil's face was blank for a moment, looking very confused.Probably the memory that was on the verge of recovery led to a temporary confusion of thinking.

The crackling sound continued, and everything in the background was gradually mixed together to form a colorful mass.

The brave man held the opponent's hand and smiled with relief.

"Well, then—let's go."
