Even the Demon King is worrying about another world today.

"I already said it was a misunderstanding!"

"I don't believe you, you wretched devil."

Mikayi felt like he had met his nemesis.

The fearless Demon King was completely overwhelmed by a beastman girl, unable to utter a single word.

"...It's so late, please go to sleep. I still have to teach you magic tomorrow, and with your frail body, I don't want you to faint halfway through."

Kuro pulled his hand out from under the covers and patted the empty space beside him.

clap clap clap...

Mikayi stood there, stunned, completely bewildered.

clap clap clap...

Kuro clapped three more times, as if urging him on.

“…What are you doing?” Mikayi even felt a sense of fear.

"Hurry up!"

Mikayi didn't reply, but instead extinguished the lamp above his head and left the house.

"What are you doing? Aren't you going to sleep?" Mikayi had already stepped most of her body out of the door when Kuro yelled from inside, "Where are you going! Don't leave my side for a kilometer!"

"I sleep next door."

"You! @#￥%&*..."

The merciless Mikayi closed the door.

A long string of barely audible curses was left inside the room.

Opening another wooden door, Mikayi walked to the bedside and lay down.

Although I was forced to open two rooms by the landlady's strange gaze, it seems that opening these two rooms has been quite worthwhile so far.

Otherwise, as a demon king, Mikayi would really feel that he couldn't protect himself tonight.

Black cats... that kind of species is terrifying...

To be able to frighten a demon king into trembling is beyond the word "terrifying."

Suddenly, Mikayi felt his brain neurons being reconnected by communication magic.

He frowned, waiting for the other person to speak.

Could it be Neil Hawke? I said I'd come back to him tonight, but it's hard to get away in this situation.

Little did Mikayi know that the oblivious black dragon was currently fast asleep on his dragon bed, having completely forgotten what the Demon King had said.

"Demon... Lord Demon King..."

Huh? ? That voice is...

"Oh, Renee. Any progress on the mission?"

Although the visitor wasn't Neil Hawke, which made Mikaela relax a little, for some reason, she felt a strange sense of unease in front of Renee.

Mikayi himself couldn't quite explain what exactly he felt guilty about.

"No... that forest is just too vast, with many unknown plants; it would be very difficult to check their edibility one by one."

"Oh right, Demon Lord, to test the edibility of the plants, little Renee cast Phoenix's magic sixteen times in one day."

Akman's voice followed closely behind.

So, he got poisoned after personally tasting the plant... This angel of death is still so decisive. Fortunately, with the phoenix around, poisoning is nothing to worry about.

but……

"There's no need to work so hard, Renee. I'll be worried if you get sick from eating bad food."

As soon as the Demon King finished speaking, there was silence on the other end. It took a full ten minutes before the magic was reconnected.

"Demon Lord! I... I worked really hard! I collected a hundred different types of plants in a single day, and I've already discovered two that are edible!" Akman's voice held a mixture of complaint and anticipation.

"Of those two, one was discovered by Renee!"

"You're talking nonsense! I discovered it myself!"

"You wretched woman!! Don't you dare boast about my achievements in front of the Demon King!!"

"So you're the only one allowed to praise me, huh? I also need the Demon King's pity!"

"Pah! You old woman!!"

"I'm so angry, just you wait..."

The communication magic was cut off again, and my noisy mind finally found peace.

It seems that in the future, we can't just praise one person in these situations. Otherwise, it might spark a hellish war.

Mikayi lay in bed, questioning the existence of the demon.

058 Kuro Nek

Warm sunlight streamed through the sheer curtains, illuminating my face.

Mikayi slowly opened his eyes.

It's been... a long time since I've been able to fall asleep.

The last time I slept was when I was human. Since becoming a demon, I haven't experienced the state of 'falling asleep'.

But then again, does falling asleep make your arms ache?

Mikayi shifted his arm, feeling that one of his arms was so numb that he couldn't feel it anymore.

Just as Mikayi was about to pull his arm away, he suddenly felt something heavy pressing down on it. Looking closer, he saw a round object under the blankets in front of him.

The warmth wasn't from the sunlight, but rather... the body temperature of something inside the blankets.

Just as I was thinking this, something in the bedding suddenly moved.

Hey, hey, hey, no way...

Slowly pulling down the blankets, a pair of fluffy cat ears were revealed.

No way!!!

I……?!

I can't believe I have a sleepwalking habit!!

He solemnly promised to sleep in the next room, then secretly climbed into bed with her in the middle of the night...

Are you kidding me?!

Although I wasn't human to begin with...

Shocked and annoyed, Mikayi carefully pulled her hand out and shook her sore arm.

Before the other person woke up, he rolled over and got out of bed.

Now he didn't dare wear shoes anymore, and Mikayi tiptoed out of the room.

Half a minute later, Mikayi returned.

The door slammed shut.

响

The sound woke Kuro from his deep sleep in bed.

"What's wrong?" Kuro rubbed his sleepy eyes and sat up. His long, drooping hair just covered the half of his body that was about to be exposed.

A pile of clothes fell from the sky and covered Kuro's head.

The cat ears were crushed under the weight, and Kuro looked at the man with a puzzled expression.

"Getting angry so early in the morning isn't good for your kidneys," Kuro said, getting more and more excited. "Speaking of which, do you demons even have kidneys? How many kidneys do you have?"

boom--

Kuro was met with another slam of the door.

Taking the clothes off his head, Kuro said helplessly, "What's wrong with just sneaking over for a nap? I'm the one who's at a disadvantage. You stingy demon."

-

The small inn where Mikayi was staying had a restaurant on the first floor, and guests could have breakfast for just two copper coins.

Breakfast is simple: a bowl of soup and a piece of buttered bread.

Nevertheless, the cat-eared girl ate with great relish.

"You really aren't going to eat breakfast?" After finishing his own portion, Kuro stared at the portion in front of Mikayi, his mouth watering.

"I'm not eating." Mikayi leaned against the table, listless.

As a demon king, to be forced into bed with someone like that... it's hard to describe.

The fallen angel and the succubus must never find out, or the consequences will be unimaginable...

"Sigh, I really envy your demons' constitution. I haven't seen you eat a single thing since yesterday, and you don't even need to drink water? Even lower-ranking demons can go without food and water, so upper-ranking demons must be immortal, right?"

“I already said… I’m not some low-level demon…” Mikayi was too lazy to argue with Kuro about this anymore. He pulled out a piece of paper and threw it in front of Kuro. “If you’ve finished eating, get moving. Within seven days, you need to learn at least one or two spells to protect yourself.”

Kuro nodded slightly, staring blankly at the piece of paper in front of him: "What's this for?"

"Wipe your mouth."

"Oh oh oh..."

Kuro was completely unaware of what was on his face. As a poor man, being able to eat breakfast was almost a non-existent event, so wiping his mouth was something he never did.

"By the way, you're my slave, aren't you? Wiping your master's mouth... ouch, that hurts!!!"

Kuro stopped talking after being punched on the head, clutching his head with a resentful expression.

"I'll give you one more chance to answer. What is our relationship?"

"Master and servant... no, no, no, don't hit their heads!!"

"Hmm?" Mikayi waved the breadstick in his hand at Kuro, his smile wicked.
