I’m a Fake Saintess But the Gods Are Obsessed With Me

The Demon King’s castle, at which we arrived via warp a short time later, was both grand and shabby.

Lightning continued to strike from the lightning rod-like iron tower on the roof of the Demon King’s castle, and all of the servants looked scary.

Most of the faces were handsome and beautiful, but should I say that the eyes were creepy? I could feel that they only resembled humans yet weren’t human.

Outside the window, I could see the training of demon warriors riding black wyverns, and it was truly intense.

I sipped the tea Cero served in Diego’s office.

“Is the weather always like this?”

“You mean lightning? That’s not the weather, it’s the main source of the Magi. It’s a device that draws in the energy of the Demon Realm.”

[The Gods look around and wonder at the scenery of the Demon King’s castle.]

“Ah…”

As I was blankly watching the lightning continue to strike, I shifted my gaze to Diego.

Silver hair that was sometimes tinged with the blue light of lightning, purple bead-like eyes, and a uniform in a darker tone than usual.

Although I knew that Diego was the Demon King, this was my first time coming to the Demon Realm and seeing him like this.

Diego’s expression, which looked somewhat crooked and sly, was frozen. Somehow, at this moment, I realized for the first time that he was the Demon King.

“Why were you held captive by Abella?”

“…”

“If you used holy power, you would have been able to subdue it.”

[The God of Art, Mond, agrees with Diego.]

“I don’t think there’s any need to be intimidated by people who are doing favors for me. “The desserts she prepared were the best.”

Diego let out a small sigh at my words.

“I was impressed by the fact that you have no prejudice against demons, but there are pros and cons in everything.”

“That… What does that mean?”

Diego, who was sitting at the desk, stood up and came towards me. One step, two steps closer.

Eventually, when he reached right in front of me, Diego’s index finger gently lifted the tip of my chin.

“It means there’s a need to be afraid. Demons and humans are… fundamentally different.”

When I looked into his eyes, I felt a different level of emotion than the discomfort of rudeness.

“It won’t happen again, but you should at least have the will to protect yourself.”

Fierce, ferocious, and pure madness. It made me tense and stiff.

[The God of Justice, Hetuse, swallows his saliva.]

[All the Gods are focused on you and Diego.]

His eyes shone brightly in the gleam of lightning outside the window.

Diego is a man who can easily twist a human’s delicate neck at any time. Even with his index finger, I felt a strange sense of fear.

“…”

However, I didn’t avoid his eyes and looked straight at him.

Until Diego’s eyebrows twitched under my patient gaze.

“I’m wary, but I’m not afraid.”

His gaze darkened at my words.

“I also disagree with the statement that we are fundamentally different.”

Abella’s kidnapping of me was purely unreasonable, but she developed real friendships with a human and deeply missed a dead human.

Diego’s red lips pursed and he sighed. Then he placed his hand on the wall and pressed himself closer to me.

His menacing breath was right in front of me.

“Ariel.”

I heard his voice.

[The God of Justice, Hetuse, covers his mouth.]

“I… think you’re a kind guy too. It’s true that I didn’t want to bump into you at first, but…”

In Raid’s prophecy that I saw in the past, Diego Vester was Ariel’s dead flag and shadow. It was a very bad sign, especially for myself, so I stayed away from him.

But now there is no prophecy, and although he’s the Demon King… he saved me

I could still see him opening the door and attacking Abella with cold eyes. But I could feel that he at least cared about me.

“So I think maybe… we can be at least friends.”

Diego’s purple eyes twinkled at my words.

His eyes were on me for a long time.

Diego looked at me looking straight at him, and a smile appeared on his lips. Soon his lips softened.

“What should we do? I have no desire to be friends with you.”

He was right in front of me, within breath of me, still looking at me.

“Then… It can’t be helped. I didn’t know you would refuse.”

I was grateful to him for buying a basement that was more expensive than the building. So I think I let go of my guard against him from that moment on.

However, now Diego has drawn a line. I have no choice but to accept it.

Yet when I pushed on Diego’s firm chest to get away from him, he wasn’t pushed.

I was looking at him with slightly embarrassed eyes when he opened his mouth.

“I’m interested in something else other than friends.”

I couldn’t understand what he said.

“You mean something else?”

“Would you like me to inform you?”

[The God of Benevolence, Oman, nods vigorously.]

[The God of Love, Odyssey, is headbanging.]

I nodded. And in an instant, his lips touched mine.

“…!!“

Surprised, I opened my eyes wide.

“For example, a relationship in which we do something like this.”

It was only a brief touch, yet the feeling of his passing on my lips remained.

[The Gods keep their mouths shut and express their cheers with their individual gestures.]

My face got hot and I pushed his chest, and this time he pushed it away easily.

I felt like I was being teased by the smile on his lips.

“You perverted Demon King!”

When I thought about it, there was something I heard from men before I met Abella.

For a moment, I got goosebumps.

Yes, alert mode is running again.

“I just gave you an answer because you asked a question. Did you feel uncomfortable?”

“Stop making excuses! Pervert.”

[The God of Benevolence, Oman, is delighted with your praise.]

I stepped back from him and hit the wall.

Diego said, looking at me without coming closer.

His soft voice pierced my ears.

“I was still confused. I thought that couldn’t be.“

“…”

“But since absurd things often happen in the world, I thought it might be possible. Well, it might be a trick from the Gods. So now I decided to follow along as soon as possible.”

“What are you talking about…”

Instead of answering, he approached me.

And he suddenly held out his hand to me.

Is this an offer to take on one of the five-person mixed crew that goes into his own bedroom?

He seemed to have succeeded in giving the message that I must be wary of demons.

Diego looked at me glaring at him and raised the corner of his lips.

“I’ll take you there now.”

”…Yes?”

I asked back, finding his words surprising.

[The God of Benevolence, Oman, looks sullen.]

[The God of Knowledge, Hessed’s eyes are shaking with regret.]

“Why, do you want to stay here forever?”

After a while, I came to my senses and shook my head. And absentmindedly, I grabbed his hand.

My heart was pounding.
