Chapter 47: Be prepared to be specific
“. . .Huh.”
Finally, his master’s voice showed some emotion, and the Black Dragon felt relieved inside.
While staring at the face of the Demon King, which was hidden behind the mask and impossible to read, the Black Dragon continued speaking.
“I don’t really understand human emotions, but at the very least, she’s been worried about the fact that she used to belong to Kasdar.”
“Hiira-dono. . .she couldn’t possibly be. . .”
To the Demon King, she was probably just a saint who he loved dearly.
Because of the strength of her love, she didn’t even realize how much she was belittling herself.
If you love someone, you have to tell them. That’s the simple logic of a beast.
“If you stay the way you are, that girl will be a miserable girl who was ruined by Kasdar for the rest of her life. And Demon King-sama will probably just watch over her because he doesn’t want to fall in love. What’s the point of getting worked up over something so small?”
“. . .That’s. . .”
“Hiira-chan isn’t the kind of girl who gets angry over small things, whether you reveal her true identity or tell her the truth. You said it yourself, she’s bold, right?”
“That’s true, but. . .”
“See? Then it’s fine. Whether you tell her everything about the Demon King-sama or not, she’ll just smile and say ‘Is that so?’ and make dinner for you. Probably.”
“. . .I can imagine that face. . .”
“What?”
Behind the rough mask, the Black Dragon couldn’t see the man’s face. But he felt like he had relaxed his shoulders a little and smiled.
He repeats his words, hoping that the Black Dragon’s wish will reach his true feelings hidden behind the thick mask.
“You two finally met as fate intended. You should have already compensated for the sin of not being able to protect your homeland. Besides. . .”
(One more push. Let’s try to provoke him a little.)
The Black Dragon thought for a moment, narrowed his eyes, and smiled wickedly.
“While you were watching from afar, would you be okay if Hiira-chan had a man?”
“What?”
The Demon King was clearly flustered, and the Black Dragon laughed.
“You’re okay with that, right?”
“Black Dragon. . .?”
“The saint beloved by the earth, humans say it well. Just like you, hundreds of years ago, the human I made into a Demon King had a delicious soul.”
The Demon King was taken aback.
The Black Dragon licked his lips with his long tongue as if to show off.
“Hey, Demon King-sama. Can I make Hiira-chan the next Demon King? She’s a girl, so I’ll take her away and marry her, and lock her up deep in the Demon King’s castle.”
――The next moment.
The Black Dragon’s bangs were cut off with a snap.
A faint red mark appeared on his nose.
“Ah. . .”
The Demon King trembled with disbelief at what he had done.
“Haha. That’s how it should be.”
He wants to take off his mask and expose his face to see what expression he’s making.
“The answer is already clear, isn’t it?”
“Thank you, Black Dragon. I’m sorry.”
The Black Dragon brushed his bangs aside and smiled at the dumbfounded Demon King.
“Don’t apologize. I just like you guys.”
As he spoke, he drank the completely chilled tea. The characteristic of high-quality tea leaves was that they tasted good even when cold.
“We can think about what to do from now on with just you and me, Hiira-chan. I’ll lend you my strength. . .It’s a good opportunity to see if this country is really worth sacrificing yourself for.”
“Yeah, that’s right. . .”
The Demon King took a sip of tea and turned his face towards the direction of the office where Saint Hiira and the witch Lala had disappeared.
Even in his strange black attire and mask, it was easy to imagine that he had made a decision.
