Lord Demon is behind you

The brave man had presciently covered the Demon King's mouth before making such a move, so he smoothly suppressed his subsequent screams and twisting and twisting struggles.

"Wait, wait a minute, don't get excited! Listen to me first."

The hands gradually settled down.The brave man felt that the other party was looking at him with wide eyes; at the same time, the rapid and scorching breath kept blowing on his palm.

"I..." he tried to calm down, and said, "I know what you want, and... someday in the future, I should be able to give you a... a response that satisfies you—but!" He stopped the other party from speaking again, and said first, "Not now! Absolutely not now. You understand, right? At this moment, I can't say anything. Otherwise, it may become a bad omen."

He wanted to make the other party feel more at ease and happy; but now that the witch's crisis has not been resolved, he really can't let go of the responsibility of saving mankind and just flirt with his sweetheart on his own.

The silent Demon King nodded vigorously.

Only then did the brave man loosen his hand slowly, and pressed the top of his hair again.

"That's it. You and I first... huh??"

The devil jumped up suddenly, and threw himself straight on the brave man.

"That is to say, brave man, do you like me too?" He shouted like an oath, "I love you, and all I want is your love. Brave man, do you like me as much as I like you? ?”

"you……"

The brave man was a little annoyed, did this guy listen to what he just said?

"You like mine too, don't you?" He hugged the brave man recklessly, "Even if you can't say it directly... Anyway, you have the same feeling in your heart, right? Can I end the one-way arrow and get a Is there a good result for the two to be happy?"

"——So you listen to people's speech well."

He tried to tear the opponent off his body, but because his body was pressed by the opponent, he still couldn't use his strength.

"I'm sorry, but... I'm sorry, Brave. Because, this matter is too important to me——Since I was born, I have never longed for one thing so much as I long for your affection...you and Your heart is too important to me. So, no matter what, I want to hear you say it."

In the darkness, his voice was slightly choked.

"I've always told myself that I love you is my own thing, and I can't force you to like me too, especially at this time... With your character, you will definitely devote yourself to saving mankind , and have no energy left to focus on anything else. But I hope...more than ever, in the face of everything, to get your response."

"—"

The brave man held his breath.The other party buried his face in his neckline, and the wet touch made him panic.

Is this guy... crying...?

——He said those words in order to make the other party feel at ease and happy, but unexpectedly, it had the opposite effect.

Isn't it enough to just hint at this point?

"...Does this bother you? I'm sorry, I was wrong. I know that this should be a very important time for you, but I still bother you with my own selfishness, without considering your mood at all."

"Do not--"

Realizing that his voice was a little hoarse, the brave man swallowed the remaining words back into his stomach.After being stiff for a moment, he put his hand on the other's shoulder and patted it lightly.

—It can’t be his fault, thought the brave man.As early as the very beginning, he has already made it very clear that as a demon, he doesn't care about the life and death of human beings and doesn't care.The reason why he risked his life to participate in the crusade against the witch was only out of his feelings for "the brave Arthur Crane".

The brave man once again felt a strong sense of guilt.

"I know you, brave man, will never lie, so... since you said so," he sighed softly, "I'm waiting for the day when everything is over. But, please, after everything here is over, Be sure to tell me what you really think... Whether you like me or not, please tell me."

——This is... what a...

The brave man was in a daze for a while, as if he had returned to the night when he was first confessed, the moment when the former demon king said "I like you" with a sad smile on his face.

He is the strongest in King's Landing Demon Realm, but he is always so cautious and compromises in front of himself.But compared to this, Brave prefers to see his natural smiling face.

In fact, if you want to cheer him up, all you need is a word from yourself.

Just a hint, probably not really enough.If you want to convey your true feelings, what you need is... like the other party, say it more clearly and straightforwardly.

"you……"

He licked his lips, trying to release the tension.

"If you get an answer, what happens after that? What do you... do after that?"

"Eh? After?" The Demon King straightened up just now, and seemed to be slightly taken aback when he heard the words, "After that... of course I will marry you, ah, no, I have to choose a place to marry first—"

"What if that answer isn't what you think it is?"

He fell silent for a moment.After a while, he said softly: "If you reject me, I should, well, stalk me. However, if you have someone you like, I will give up."

"Then, what if..." the brave man felt his throat dry and astringent, "What if I have other things to do, and I have a very important wish that I want to continue to achieve, so I can't promise you for the time being?"

"—then continue to help you." The other party lowered his shoulders, "It's only natural to help your partner realize your wishes. Although the mood may be different, you can rest assured——No matter what time, I will definitely Will be on your side."

"……I understand."

The brave exhaled.After getting the answer just now, he finally made up his mind.

"As you might think, I probably, no, I did..."

But is this really good?

It was just a short sentence, but it was extremely difficult for him to say it.

The Demon King should also know what he was going to say, as if he was holding his breath and waiting.The brave man's hand on his shoulder trembled slightly, and he didn't know whether it was because he couldn't stabilize himself or the opponent's body was trembling.

——At such a time, an inexplicable haze suddenly passed through the brave man's heart.

What is this feeling of unreliability?

"I……"

The Demon King suddenly pressed his hand.

"Brave," he lowered his voice, "Did you hear that? There seems to be some strange sound over there."

The brave immediately raised his vigilance.He focused on his hearing, and soon realized what the strange sound the other party was talking about was——

It was a rattling sound similar to that of metal colliding, intermittently ringing in a weird rhythm, as if a certain metal cabinet door was being opened and closed back and forth.

The sounding place doesn't seem to be close to them, and there doesn't seem to be a tendency to approach them, but there is no guarantee that it will be harmless.After a moment of silence, the Demon King got up from the brave man, and lit a ball of lighting spells in his palm.

Since he had been in the dark for a long time, it took the brave man more than ten seconds to adapt to the sudden light.

——Speaking of which, why didn't we brighten up the surroundings earlier... He thought belatedly, while standing up with the machine behind him.

The space they were in was much larger than he had imagined before, and it looked like a large warehouse.There are various mechanical and metal scraps scattered around, some big and small, some obvious semi-finished products, and some seemingly overused scrap products.

The thing he was leaning against just now looked like a square oil and gas tank with several pipes on it.

It took the two of them a while to find a winding path among the messy and scattered machinery, and then approached a little bit like the location of the sound.

The clicking sound never stopped.The two followed the sound all the way to find it, and finally touched a certain tall metal box.

This box is not square and easy to transport, but a flat shape, which looks like...

"This box... really looks like a coffin."

The Demon King knocked on the surface of the box, and what responded to him was a more intense clicking sound, as if someone inside the box kept hitting the surface of the box.

--coffin?This is really a way to describe it.It's not like there's some kind of vampire locked in there.

What will be inside, it seems that only after opening can we know.

The brave man felt around the surface of the box and found a gap on the surface.Looking inside with the light, you can see where the lock is.

After the two looked at each other, the brave man drew out his holy sword, and the demon king recited the mantra of defense in advance, making full preparations for the battle.

The holy sword swung down, accurately cutting the box in half at the locked position.When the click sounded again, the door slammed open and light flooded the interior.

Inside the box lay—

A life-sized robot.

Its production is much finer than that of the "Ludi No. [-]" that led the way for the brave before.Not only has an independent head, a torso and limbs with the same proportions as the human body, but she even wears a full set of clothes. At first glance, she looks like a lifelike human girl.

She was stretching her arms stiffly forward, and it seemed that the so-called click was the sound of her shaking the door on the inside of the box.

"This is..." The brave stared at the robot's face unconsciously.For some reason, he always felt that this face was very familiar.

The robot twisted its neck slowly twice, and turned to the brave man with a click, a pair of dull eyes were straight at him.

Then, the painted-looking mouth opened.From its throat came the sound that the brave had heard before——

"Brave, my lord?"
