Chapter 627 A Meeting in the Demon King's Daughter's Boudoir

With his wrist grabbed, Zun Zun said nothing, only staring silently at Yu Jian Xiang Ye, as if asking for his reason. At the same time, a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes, as if issuing a warning.

—If it's just to look cool, then make him look bad!
"No, no! This is a misunderstanding!"

Mikage Hibiki panicked immediately and hurriedly waved his hands, loudly explaining, "I just felt that I should be the one to defeat the Demon King's daughter, not to show off!"

"Hmm?... Hibiki, you don't actually think that the other party's status as the Holy Shield Aegis and the descendant of a hero makes you—the current master of the Holy Armor Aegis—feel like you have to shoulder responsibility, do you? Don't be like that, you're a bit too self-conscious. Even Aegis didn't say anything, did it?"

Zun Zun felt a chill.

This has nothing to do with Yūya, and it wasn't him who instigated the hero to become the Demon King. Speaking of which, could it be that he took it upon himself to do so because he was considering Aegis's feelings?

"Young man, if it's for my sake, then forget it."

Saint Armor Aegis echoed this sentiment.

"A group fight is more reliable than a one-on-one duel, especially when the opponent is the daughter of the Demon King. Her strength should not be underestimated, as she can wield two divine artifacts."

They even shamelessly planned a group fight.

"No, that's not it... No, that might be part of the reason, but I mean it's not entirely because of that, there's also..."

Yujian Xiangye was silent for a moment.

Then, gripping the demon sword tightly, he looked at the Demon King's daughter and said earnestly, "I just want to tell that hero that becoming the Demon King was the worst decision he ever made in his life!"

It's for their own beliefs.

Mikage Hibiki came to this world in order to become a hero who would defeat the Demon King. It would be too tragic if the hero's ultimate destiny was to become the Demon King.

Zun Zun understood his thoughts.

"Most importantly, I think Miss Huihui is right; we need to conserve our fighting strength before fighting the Demon King. Right now, among us, only you, Zun Zun, are strong enough, so..."

A hand rested on Zun Zun's shoulder.

"I'm entrusting the task of defeating the Demon King to you."

Huh?
Oh no, why is there suddenly this kind of shonen manga plot again? Could it be intentional? Is it really not just something to show off?
As for Mikami Hibiki's two followers, there's no need to ask; they would definitely choose to stay without hesitation.

"Me too."

At this moment, Darkness suddenly chimed in. Judging from her tone, it seemed she didn't intend to go with Venerable One to defeat the Demon King.

“There are just too many enemies here. It would be too much of a burden for Mikage Hibiki to leave everything to him. I am a Knight of the Cross, and it is my duty to fight here! And... and... there are so many Demon Kings…”

She crossed her arms over her shoulders.

"Look! Their irresistible, damp aura, and their tentacle-like gazes... If, if I get caught... I... I... I... what kind of inhuman treatment will I suffer! So, so wonderful!"

His face was flushed, he was panting heavily, and his whole body was trembling uncontrollably.

Yes, she's acting crazy again.

The appearance of the perverted female knight frightened many members of the Demon King's army, who whispered among themselves, seemingly believing that she was a ruthless character.

"Hey...is something wrong with her?"

“I know, I’ve seen guys like that who crave battle on the battlefield. Many of our comrades have been killed by them, and they only get more excited as the battle goes on.”

"These kinds of guys are the most troublesome!"

"This is bad, I want to go home."

...It's not about enjoying the battle, no, it's about enjoying the battle, but enjoying the additional effects that the battle brings.

"Um... I'm sorry, but can I stay too?"

Aqua raised her hand shakily.

Even if she didn't say it, Zun Zun could understand—it was simply that the Absolute Demon King was too strong, and he was unwilling to face the danger, so he chose the safer option.

That's right, I have the same idea as Kazuma Sato.

Originally, the Goddess of Foolishness's role was to weaken the Demon King's power with magic, but now that the Demon King is already capable of dealing with him, it doesn't matter whether she's there or not.

She let out a soft sigh.

"Alright. There are just so many monsters here, Aqua, you can stay here and help Hibiki."

"Don't worry! As a goddess, I will definitely help him!"

Aqua patted her chest and guaranteed.

Mitsurugi Hibiki seemed very excited; this was his first time teaming up with Aqua, and very likely his last.

"My safety is in your hands."

"Yes! I will definitely protect Lady Aqua!"

No more.

The more I look at it, the less reliable it seems.

Hopefully, after this battle, the incredibly strong filter that Mikage Hibiki has for Aqua won't shatter.

He turned around to look at the Demon King's daughter who was waiting.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's alright. My father once said that giving the heroes enough time to encourage and inspire each other before the battle is also part of showing the Demon King's demeanor."

This demon king is very knowledgeable!

But isn't this very disadvantageous for her? Isn't she just creating trouble for herself? Is there something wrong with the Demon King's upbringing?

"Also, there is more..."

"What's wrong? Do you think the Demon King will be defeated?"

"No way! Father is the strongest, he won't lose!"

Hey, the last guy who claimed to be the strongest got cut in half, so stop making promises you can't keep.

For some reason, the Demon King's daughter also raised her hand tremblingly and spoke with a hint of embarrassment.

"Um... if it's possible, could you please not go to the room on the right after you leave here? Please."

"Huh???" "That's my room."

understood!

She must be so afraid because she's afraid her messy bedroom will be discovered.

Zun Zun nodded, then left alone.

After going out—

I decisively entered the Demon King's daughter's boudoir!
How could Zun Zun be untrustworthy! He only nodded and didn't personally agree, so how could he be untrustworthy? Besides, the Demon King's daughter's room has always been under the surveillance of the Crimson Demon Clan. Is that really her room?

Perhaps the Demon King's daughter said it on purpose to arouse his suspicion.

Actually, that room wasn't the Demon King's daughter's room; it might have been a trap waiting for him.

Zun Zun made up a whole bunch of excuses for himself, and then, without any mental burden, entered the Demon King's daughter's boudoir.

open the door.

Contrary to expectations, there wasn't a mess of clothes and clutter scattered on the floor. Instead, it was incredibly tidy, with everything neatly arranged, showing how much the room's owner cherished their belongings.

With its various decorations and meticulously arranged furnishings, this is undoubtedly a cozy and inviting room.

A faint fragrance wafted in the air, similar to that of the Demon King's daughter, indicating that it was indeed her boudoir.

— Boring.

I thought it would be an even more unexpected room, but it was so ordinary that it made Zun Zun feel that it was extraordinary.

But think about it carefully.

That seems to be the case.

Although many members of the Demon King's army have mental issues, most of them are still quite normal. In contrast, there are almost no normal people on the human side.

"Never mind, there shouldn't be anything here... Hmm?"

Just as Zun Zun was about to leave, he suddenly sensed a magical force emanating from deep within the room.

There is……

Walking straight ahead, I discovered that deep inside the room was a bed, but no one was on it. The magic was emanating from beneath the bed.

Someone is hiding here.

"come out."

Zun Zun didn't know who this person was, but that didn't stop him from listing him as a dangerous individual and eliminating the source of danger before defeating the Demon King.

The room was quiet.

It was as if no one was there at all, and the magical aura under the bed had completely dissipated, as if what had just happened was merely an illusion.

Does this person think he's stupid?

One has to admire the amazing stealth skills, but to completely eliminate one's presence right in front of others feels more like an insult.

Zun Zun was too lazy to waste words with him.

“Light of…”

"Wait, wait a minute! Don't use magic, I'm coming out!"

Look, there really is someone there.

The deep male voice alerted Zun Zun, and at the same time, the sword of light in his hand did not dissipate, but instead continued to gather power, ready to be used at any time.

Then they saw a guy dressed in a black robe, completely shrouded in darkness, slowly crawling out from under the bed.

Wait, who is this person...?

Although the oversized black robe made him look somewhat bulky, Zun Zun still felt a strange sense of familiarity with this guy. However, in the instant he was lost in thought—

"Steal————!"

A shout filled with conviction.

The room was suddenly illuminated by a blinding white light, turning everything in sight pure white. Zun Zun instinctively shielded his eyes with one hand, and when the light faded—

"You're Kazuma!?"

"You are the Venerable One!?"

The two looked at each other.

I never expected it would be my teammate!
"Zun Zun...Zun Zun...Isn't this the most reliable and reassuring person in my team?! Waaah, you've finally come to save me! I'm so touched!"

Kazuma Sato suddenly rushed over and hugged Zun Zun's leg tightly, wiping his tears and snot all over him.

"It's so dirty! Let go, let go of me! Don't hug me, it's really dirty!"

"snort----!"

"Waaaaaahh ...

After a long commotion, Sato Kazuma finally released Zun Zun's legs, hugged his knees, and squatted in the corner, sobbing like a frightened little wife with tears in his eyes.

They probably understand the same feeling they had when Aqua was left in the dungeon, causing her psychological trauma.

"Thank you... thank you so much, Zun Zun. You came to save me, thank you so much! We really are comrades, right? Please, please be my team forever..."

"Uh……"

Zun Zun was somewhat embarrassed.

"Huh?" Sato Kazuma seemed to realize something. He looked at Zun Zun uncertainly and asked, "You... broke into the Demon King's Castle because I was captured, intending to rescue me, right?"

Silence is still silence.

"...Well, that's right."

"Then look this way at me!"

Kazuma Sato exploded.
