I Misunderstood the Date and Saved the Demon King

32. Side by side

Why did Lethe weigh so much and say, ‘Don’t go to a banquet and buy something, just come to play’.

It was fully revealed during the month-long preparation period.

“Come on, Ashu. It’s a banquet seat. Everyone is still respectful. But what kind of strange bastard comes and argues over whether demons can enjoy such a banquet? Then what are you going to do?”

“Kill!!”

Astaroth’s confident answer came out without even thinking for 0.1 Seconds. It made Lethe feel her blood pressure soar.

I wish it was a joke, but the red-haired demon king sitting in front of me is sincere. Look at the fire burning in those eyes. How could anyone say, ‘Don’t joke about that’ after seeing that!

“… Do you really intend to?”

“Huh? Oh no! Sorry. Mister! Kill! I want to throw it away! You have to be patient!”

“Yes. Thank god. I’m so glad.”

I feel anxious. I’m really anxious. In fact, if you find yourself in a situation like that, after you kill it, ‘Ah! The uncle told me not to kill him!’ And tore off his head, ‘I’m sorry! I killed them without knowing!’

Lethe covered her head as she was and let out a sigh.

From the standpoint of the other demon lords, it’s always been like that, so I’ll move on, but from the point of view of humans… A demon king talking in front of a cut off head would not be very nice to see.

Then are the other demon lords better? Could it possibly be so?

“Mar. Who touched your body It was so fleeting, no one else saw it.”

“Dare! Only my older brother will allow it! It’s not even worth pulling out a heart! Even if I pulled it out, it would look ugly and disgusting!”

Also, Marmar, who is usually on the quiet side, was straight-faced as soon as he heard it.

“Sir Lethe, the war hero, seems to be quite close. Is he bewitched by the beauty of demon lords?”

“… Aww! How dare you, how dare you say that to my master!”

“Citree! Sitri!! This is smoke, smoke! Wake up!”

Sitry, whom I thought I could trust, even though he could handle it himself, when the aim was changed to Letero, he became the demon king himself and ran amok.

“Hey. Hey? Ha ha ha! Did Sir Lethe not teach you how to speak?”

“….”

“Oh, mister. El’s pupils flip.”

As if Elle would show it through her actions instead of her words, she sparingly exuded from the beginning to the end.

By the way, it may be hard to believe, but this is the result of practicing for over two weeks. I can’t help it if it’s ridiculous, but this is the reality.

‘It must be crazy.’

He touched his forehead. I can tell you. Sending it to the banquet hall like this will cause a real uproar.

Still, the academy is at best a place where children who are dreaming of politics gather, so how can demon kings endure it? People who know how to scratch gently should scratch to make their stomach burst and become angry.

In that respect, the nobles who will attend the imperial banquet are those who have hundreds of squirrels in their stomachs. They hide a knife behind their words and a dagger in their tongue and go around stabbing them casually.

Lete knows this because she herself experienced it. A miracle that makes her have murderous urges even when she just listens.

I’d rather have demon lords like other demons who only want blood and fight. So, no matter what I spin, if I can’t listen to it, I don’t know.

The four women, who are quite smart and have a knack for communicating, will not be immune to their attacks. On the contrary, it will grow even more angry and growl to kill.

‘If it’s at the command level, how can they endure even if they are stimulated? But if the point is me and not them… I can’t even have that.’

Even hardliners will know this is their last chance. Instead of the atmosphere of peace and cooperation from the demon king, he will try to bring out the true nature of the demon race that is unmatched to be imitated.

As a war hero, Lethe needs a justification that can’t be helped, so the level must be higher.

That’s why we have to be more patient. You have to endure it so that this side can hold the next justification. If the Crown Princess ascends the throne and the hardliners are overthrown, they will be able to avenge what they have suffered so far.

At that time, even if the demon lords beat halfway to death those who misuse their mouths, they will have nothing to say. Because the emperor was firm on the peace line, but they ruined the atmosphere first.

“… Patience training ends here. Next, let’s do dress adaptation training.”

As much patience training. No, maybe even more difficult times have come.

“Oh, I hate it! Mister! Can’t we just wear what we used to wear instead of this tight but hot one?! Stuffy! I’m going to die of frustration!”

“Why are you wearing these clothes? Brother? Why shouldn’t the skin be exposed?”

“You can’t bare your thighs, master? Why?! Why these healthy thighs!?”

“… Stuffy.”

Until now, the clothes demon kings usually wore were of a fairly high degree of exposure.

Why do you wear it like that? I do not know. Just because the setting was like that, wouldn’t the world go around like that? I can only guess.

Maybe that’s why all the women on the demon side dressed like the four demon lords. And it was the norm for demon men to wear their tops off.

However, for demon lords who have become accustomed to wearing that. Wearing a dress that barely shows the bare skin, high heels and even gloves?

I’m going to die from discomfort, I’m going crazy from frustration, how the hell do I live wearing this? It was natural for all the words to come out.

‘… Did you say that you would attend the banquet for no reason?’

I wonder if Lethe even thought about regretting her own decision. Still, she thought that education would improve her to some extent, but she couldn’t believe it would be this hard.

Still, did you say that if you are intelligent, you are Gamcheon? Near the end of the month, the demon lords looked much better compared to before.

“The nobility is gently arguing. What do you do when that happens?”

“I want to kill you, but I hold back!”

“You can break your neck with a single gesture, but do you do it or not?”

“I shouldn’t.”

“Even if you catch me and fall, what should I do?”

“The moderate blue princess will bite you anyway, so you just have to watch.”

“What is your final goal?”

“… Quietly. Banquet.”

That’s it. It’s finally done. The time of effort and perseverance, when tears trembled and limbs flowed, came to an end.

To be honest, I’m still very anxious, but a month has already passed.

Now that you have done all you have to do, it is time to leave it to fate. Of course, the target is not himself, but the demon kings, so he is anxious, but what can he do? For the sake of the future, for the sake of the future.

“By the way, Sitri. Aren’t you going to attend?”

“Do you? But from what I’ve heard, you’re moving separately from us.”

“Why? What did we do wrong?”

“Rather than that, you said it was because the human aristocrats felt too burdened.”

Astaroth, who was riding in the carriage, crossed his arms in displeasure at Citri’s answer.

“Annoying. Why do you keep looking at the nobles? Just chill-“

“Ashu. That’s why you worry about us.”

“Ah.”

They are demons. Rather than talking, making concessions, and laughing in front of them, they are accustomed to expressing themselves without hesitation, using their strength first, and fighting and watching.

Aren’t those who immediately shouted ‘I will!’ In response to the question, ‘Are you going to go to war or not?’

But Lete is not that kind of demon. She is human They endure no matter how much they hate it, avoid it if it is dirty, and try to solve it with words rather than beating them to death with their fists.

And they want to stay by Lete’s side. If not, you should at least try to get closer to humans, not demons, even if you don’t belong completely.

“There is nothing to worry about too much. The master also said that there were no further concessions.”

“I honestly don’t understand that either. You have to show everyone how you fight with us, that overwhelming power, only to that strange dwarf.”

“Poor humans will urinate just looking at that scene. As a bonus, if you do that, you will be even more vigilant against your brother. If you are superior to yourself, you do not admit that you are above, but most of the people who criticize and doubt that you are different.”

Everything is just for Lethe. Save their lives, show them a new way. More than anything, for the person who taught me the warmest warmth in the world.

If you think like that, you should be able to laugh moderately with humans and endure it.

“… Uh.”

Astaroth, who was looking through the carriage window, suddenly exclaimed. Then he points to a spot outside and says in a voice full of laughter.

“Hey, hey. Aren’t they those guys? What was it Oh, right. Warrior!”

“A warrior?”

“Eh?”

At that, Marmar and Sitri also drew the curtains and looked out the window.

Just as Astaroth said, there were familiar faces inside the wagon that was running side by side. I can’t remember the names of three, but I do know one!

“Mikada!”

Astaroth suddenly stood out and called Michaela with all his might.

Thanks to that, the warriors who were quietly riding in the wagon also found out that none other than the demon lords were riding in the wagon running next to them.

The Demon King and the Hero. Their respective wagons are heading to the heart of the Empire, the Imperial Palace.

No one knows what will happen there. Maybe even God doesn’t know.
