Lord Demon is behind you

"No one can kiss the person he loves without fluctuating in his heart, of course I am the same way," said the devil, "so, the one just now... Even if it was a healing act at the beginning, it is impossible to be completely pure afterward. gone."

At the beginning, his voice was still intermittent, but when he spoke later, it seemed that he gradually put aside his shy feelings and his attitude became calmer.

"I must admit that although I really wanted to help you relieve the pain at first, when I actually met you, I almost forgot everything... only the desire for the act of 'kissing' itself remained .To be able to kiss you who I love the most, the one I love the most... This is simply a scene that will only appear in the most wonderful dreams."

This hit was not limited to the face, the brave man felt that the palms that were in contact with the opponent's arms became hot.My whole body felt like I had a fever, turning into a hot object with no ability to think.

"No, no, this kind of thing, in fact, if you don't say it..." He stammered, trying to stop the other party from saying more shameful words.

But he obviously didn't succeed, and the devil continued to talk.

"Of course, there are still some worries about your condition. But most of them are probably joy, excitement and, ecstasy..."

From the Demon King's side came the slight sound of cloth rubbing, as if he was moving uneasily.

"After all, if I hadn't encountered such an accident, maybe I would never have had the chance to get close to you... The fact that I can mingle with my beloved you makes me extremely happy.

"This kind of behavior is disgusting...? I know, this kind of thinking is very mean, and I also know that it will make you feel sick after you wake up. But I did it anyway, obeyed the desire at that moment, and returned to the situation Urgency as an excuse..."

"This is what I really thought just now," he said in conclusion, "so you don't have to apologize to me, but I should feel guilty. With impure thoughts, I did something that disgusted you. Things. I'm sorry, Hero. I also... have no reason to ask for your forgiveness, so..."

He moved his body again, pulling his arm away from the hero's hand.

"Wait...wait a minute!"

The brave man finally came to his senses, and quickly grabbed his sleeve again, "No matter what, you treated me. If I still blame you at this time, it would be too ignorant. And..."

——In fact, there is no disgusting or disgusting feeling. It is better to say that except for the sense of shame, the others... are pretty good.

Anyway, the feelings he holds for the other party... are essentially the same as the other party.Being able to get close to someone you like is not something to be disgusted with, but a rare experience.

——However, the latter sentence cannot be said directly anyway.

He struggled to swallow the words back.Even at this time, he knew that once words like this were uttered, the relationship between the two of them would probably undergo an unexpected and permanent change, and they would no longer be able to get along like ordinary companions.

If it is acceptable to give first aid mouth-to-mouth between companions, then I feel comfortable with kissing each other—however you think about it, you have feelings of admiration for others.At that time, won't the other party discover my unknowingly deteriorating feelings?

"In short, the fact is more important than the state of mind," he said evasively, "that's what happened. Anyway, I still have to thank you. With your...help, I feel much better now too much."

"is that so……"

After a while, the Demon King finally sighed slowly.

"If you can think so, Brave,...it would be great."

He seemed to accept what the brave man said, and didn't dwell on this issue any longer.However, the brave felt that he was not particularly happy, but a little... lost?

This should not be an illusion; after all, the two have been together for a long time, and the brave man can somewhat judge each other's emotions.

However, before he could say anything else, the Demon King has already changed the subject swiftly.

"Speaking of which, you, the brave man, must have been affected by some kind of delayed-onset spiritual magic?"

He paused for a moment, probably looking at the extra negative status on his body: After the "breath fusion" just now, the two of them had already had the same debuff on them.

"...Ah, yes, it's the red thing. It's a sign of a delayed onset advanced negative state."

The red mark is still flashing next to the brave man's status, but it is much dimmer than before, which should be due to a certain weakening.

"Is there any way to undo this kind of thing?"

"Well, if you can remove it, a powerful spiritual magician should be able to do it, but we don't have that kind of person here. You can't ask the witch for help. In other words, you can only..."

The devil suddenly reached out his hand, and the brave man was caught off guard, and he grabbed his shoulder again.

"Come and sleep, Brave." He unquestionably pulled the Brave down and pressed him on his lap, "Don't worry, everything will be back to normal when you wake up. In the absence of continuous mana replenishment Now, the highest level of spiritual magic can only last for five hours, just go to sleep."

"……what."

Lying down on the surface of the demon king's cloak suddenly, the brave man tried to turn his head subtly, and then his eyes were covered again.

The Demon Lord's cloak is thick and soft.

After just a toss, his fingers have long since returned to normal temperature.The body temperature of the other party was still transmitted to the surface of the brave man's skin, which made him feel a heat of shame and embarrassment again.

He has already fully understood the method of removing the negative state.But...why does he have to lie on the opponent's lap?

Didn't he find it strange that he had just... done that kind of thing, but now he had physical contact right away?Especially... this guy was trying to stay away while desperately apologizing.After comparing before and after, I always feel that something is not right.

I don't know if it's because of his relaxed mood, but at this moment his sleepiness is particularly obvious.It was as if he had finally struggled out of the endless sea of ​​distress and clung to a rock, and the sense of peace that hit his heart made him extremely tired.

"Aren't you going to rest?" He pressed his eyelids and asked persistently, "You should be very tired, right? There doesn't seem to be any danger here, and you can..."

With the current posture, the opponent should not be able to get a rest.

"Well, of course I will rest too. The brave don't need to worry about me. However, after all, you still have multiple negative states of mental decline, so at least I can rest assured when I see you fall asleep."

I don't know why, but I always feel that the voice of the Demon King sounds a bit resentful.

"Let me take care of you until you fall asleep? ...Because, well, this is also for healing. Although it also contains my own selfishness. Will this behavior make the hero feel uncomfortable?"

"……Hey?"

It shouldn't be an illusion, the tone of his last sentence was a bit rushed, as if he was angry.

The brave man was puzzled by this.

Did you say something wrong?But, it's been fine until just now, isn't it?

"...Sorry for the brave man," the Demon King said in a muffled voice after a while, "I was wrong. I was too anxious...Okay, go to sleep, really."

...too anxious?Anxious, mean...?

The brave man was full of questions, but before he could ask anything, he fell into the deep embrace of the sleepy god.

■

There are still three or four days away from Demon King City.However, no matter how anxious the brave man is, this journey cannot be completed overnight. After nightfall, he has to stop and look for a suitable place to rest.

After the outbreak of the "Ten Witches" disaster, up to now, most of the human towns have been occupied or destroyed by monsters, and the brave naturally have no hotels to stay in.He could only find a clean open space near the water source in the forest, and after a little cleaning, he set up a fire and began to prepare food to satisfy his hunger.

When the food on the fire rack began to emit aroma, there seemed to be a dark shadow passing by behind the trees not far away.

The brave sighed.Then, he sighed again.

After sighing, he finally turned his head and shouted over there: "Don't hide there, come here."

——After a while, a figure wrapped in a black cloak came out of the shadows step by step.

It was the demon king who caused the catastrophe with him: he was full of anxiety, hesitant to get too close.

Ever since the brave man set off for the Demon King's City, this guy has been hanging behind him, following him from a distance.

The brave man didn't know what attitude to take towards this enemy who had confessed to him, so he chose to ignore it all the time; and he didn't take the initiative to talk to the brave man.But looking at it now, it shouldn't be that I don't want to, but that I don't dare.

He sighed a third time.

"Okay, come here." Suppressing his helpless emotions, he said as calmly as possible, "It will be very cold to hide in the woods at night. You can stay here tonight."

"……Eh?"

The former demon king looked flattered, "Yes, is it possible?"

"Ah."

Why does this guy look annoyed, the brave man is a little puzzled.Speaking of which, even after that happened, he wasn't treated very roughly, right?He even regained his freedom.However, this guy who claimed to be a high-ranking demon did not go back to the demon world, but followed him all the time...does he have any special demands?

The devil came to the edge of the fire, carefully sat down with his knees hugged, and watched helplessly as the brave man took the boiled food from the fire.

Under such circumstances, the brave man was not in the mood to prepare anything delicious, and just cooked simple pasta to satisfy his hunger.

"Want to eat?"

He pushed the pot between himself and the devil.The demon king just shook his head, then continued to stare at him.

"..."

Only then did the brave man understand that what the other party was looking at was not food at all, but himself.

He suddenly recalled the confession incident that led to the disaster, and then his perception became more subtle.

"you……"

He poked open the bowl of food with the utensil.Until now, the other party is still looking at him; although the look does not make him uncomfortable, it also makes it difficult for him to continue to move freely.

Being stared at by such good eyes, it is impossible to eat.

He didn't know how many times he sighed, and then he had to put the bowl down.

"Why are you following me?"

"If you want to say why...of course it's because I like brave men."

The demon king folded his hands under his chin.

"I like you, I want to see you all the time, and I am worried about your affairs," he said, "But I know that you, the brave man, probably don't want to see me, so I just followed behind. "

Is this, being confessed in person again all of a sudden?

Can this guy confess anytime and anywhere?The brave man was a little embarrassed for a moment, so he turned his face away and stared at the bonfire.

"Can't you...don't follow me?"

"No," the devil immediately replied, "If you don't want to see me, I will hide better in the future, never appear in front of you, and never cause you any trouble. But at least for now, I must Gotta follow you. Otherwise, if something bad happens—”

He pursed his lips and said nothing.

The brave man felt tired for a while.He didn't hate this guy, but he just "didn't hate it"; when he was in a hurry, there was an extra oil bottle behind him, and no one would be too happy about this kind of thing.

"When are you going to follow?"

"Until the end of the world!" Miao replied.

"..."

The brave man suddenly felt that it was unnecessary to ask.He didn't even bother to sigh.

After nightfall, because he is traveling alone now, the brave man can only fall asleep lightly, making sure that he can wake up immediately no matter what happens around him.

Originally thinking that there was an extra guy of unknown identity around him today, he planned to be more vigilant; unexpectedly, for some reason, he was even more sleepy than usual.

Is it because... I was exhausted when I was on the road these two days?

The brave man almost forced himself to barely sleep.

In the haze, there seemed to be some familiar aura falling in front of his eyes; as if a very kind companion had returned to his side and stretched out his hand to him.

"Your Excellency the Brave," someone whispered in his ear, "come with me? What I want to bring you is a brand new world that won't be hurt, and then I will live happily ever after with you. Now this world has begun It's taking shape; why don't you come with me now?"

……Who is that?

"Come with me to my world," said the familiar voice, "and then I will protect you forever. We will be happy forever, forever happy, away from the dirty and filthy human world, and reach the end of bliss."

——Who is this...?

The other party's name seemed to be spinning on the tip of his tongue, but his mind seemed to be rusted, and he couldn't find the correct answer no matter what.

"Stop," someone next to him suddenly said coldly, "That's all in the Demon King's City. This is not a place for you to interfere. Your hand is too long, stupid inferior. Besides, he is not yours." A person who can be controlled in the palm of your hand. Do you want to turn him into your private property?"

The brave man struggled to wake up, but his consciousness was only dragged into a deeper fog.

"...Ah, so it's you. You're here—are you protecting the hope of mankind?"

After the voice next to me uttered, the female voice in my ears gradually became ethereal, and there was a hint of sarcasm in the tone, "You are the one who is really stupid, right, the self-proclaimed noble predecessor. If I If not, who has the right to have him? Is it you?... This is ridiculous. You are not even a stranger in this world; you claim to know him, but you have never had the same roots as him, let alone Gain even a trace of positive feelings from him. Are you actually thinking of defeating me like this?"

"—Ah. In a sense, what you said is correct." At this time, the voice around him was not angry, but laughed playfully, "Compared with the ambition in my heart, my situation is obviously not good enough. Not optimistic. But, presumptuous witch. Don’t you think that the current situation can determine everything in the future? Why do you say that it is impossible for him and me to understand each other.”

The female voice sneered dismissively for a moment as if hearing a joke.

"You can still be proud even today. This is the so-called arrogance of the demons." She paused, "Since you are so confident, why not make a bet with me? If I win, you will become the lord of the demon world." Transfer all the authority and power to me, and let me replace you as the superior in the demon world; if I lose, I will pay the price of my life—how? As the previous generation of demon kings, you will not even accept the bet from the current demon king Don’t dare to accept it?”

After a while, a low laugh suddenly came from beside him.

"——It's really interesting. Well; although the result is clear at a glance, the courage to challenge the superior is commendable. I'll accept it, this ridiculous 'gamble'."
