Just a magical girl who picks up trash

111. Who are you?

The fact that the City Lord's Mansion was completely massacred could not be concealed. Apart from anything else, once the Dark Sky Curtain, a magic barrier used exclusively by the demons, was discovered here afterwards, it would obviously attract the attention of all races. Especially since the two princesses were killed in it, the Perrich Empire would definitely riot directly and unite hundreds of races to blame it all on the demons... That's right, defeating the Demon King would only take one night!

　However, you have to know that Gaimon is not the Demon King now. The real Demon King is Lessa, who is still raising a child in the Demon King's Castle. In this case, the coalition forces of hundreds of races, who are not very familiar with the demons, will naturally target Lessa, and then the war between humans and demons will begin, and then...

　"Reap the benefits of being a fisherman!"

　Gaimon's plan was stated in simple words. As soon as the words came out, everyone present except Amy fell into deep thought.

　Yu's words were well-reasoned and irrefutable in every aspect. If Xia Lu and Xue Li really got into trouble here, neither the Perrich Empire nor those alien races that were in a desperate situation would give up. At that time, a war with the demons would be inevitable, and no matter which side won, the other side would suffer heavy losses in the end.

　Just imagine what would happen if an invincible army suddenly appeared at this time?

　It’s scary to think about it!

　Taking all the above into consideration, at this moment, the expressions of Xueli, Ai Xue, Xia Lu and Xiaotang all became solemn. However, in such a silent atmosphere, Xueli suddenly raised her head and looked in the direction of Yu, as if she had thought of something, and there seemed to be some doubt in her eyes.

　"what happened?"

　Xueli's gaze was so intense that it instantly attracted everyone's attention. Yu Yi asked curiously with a smile on his face. Xueli, however, stared at the girl in front of her with a frown on her face for a long time before she asked:

　"I'm really sorry for doubting you at this time, but I still have a question I want to ask!"

　"uh-huh?"

　Yu shrugged and signaled the other party to ask casually, and Xueli said without hesitation:

　"Even now, we've only gotten vague information about the 'former Demon King' and 'current Demon King' of the Demon Tribe. And how did you know about the undead army outside and the hidden power of the former Demon King Gaimon? Who... are you?"

　Is Yu human? From the outside, there's no doubt he is. However, everything about him is so mysterious. From the moment he appeared until now, everything he's done is hard not to be suspicious of. Especially since he doesn't seem to be hiding anything. He can be said to be speaking his mind, whether it's about human matters... or the demonic matters they don't know about!

　"Huh? Of course I'm Yu, an ordinary human!"

　Facing Xueli's question, Yu gave this answer without changing his expression. However, his next sentence made everyone, who had not yet breathed a sigh of relief, instantly tense up:

　"And you asked me how I knew that... Of course, I learned it from the current Demon King!"

　After all, the current Demon King is now Hei Yu's subordinate, and coupled with the connection between her and Hei Yu, it is not easy for her to know these things!

The current Demon King, Lessa, accidentally summoned a demon named 'Black Feather' from the cracks of the world because of her talent, and successfully defeated the previous Demon King with the power of the demon, and has since sat on the throne of the Demon King.

However, the previous Demon King Gaimon was not resigned to this. After escaping with his immortality, he made a comeback on the other side of the Demon Realm with his own means and connections. While gathering forces to fight against Lessa, he also secretly planned to create an army of undead beasts to expand his military strength. His ambition is obviously not just the position of Demon King, but the entire continent... everything!

Now that the words had been spoken, Yu naturally told them all without any hesitation. However, after he had said all this, what he got in return was not the trust of the crowd, but the expected wary looks from everyone present except Amy.

Not for anything else, just because of Yu’s first words: the news I got from the Demon King!

How could he have known such secret information from the Demon King? Obviously, eavesdropping or undercover work wouldn't have been able to provide such detailed information, so the answer could only be one: the girl named Yu in front of him... was the Demon King's servant!

"Well~~ the order is a little off, but that's about it!"

"?!"

He actually admitted it?!

The devil's subordinate, the mortal enemy of all races... At that moment, whether it was Ai Xue or Xiao Tang, Xia Lu's eyes when looking at Yu had instantly changed. Not only that, Xue Li's eyes when looking at Amy also showed some hesitation... She had not forgotten that the reason Yu came to her was because Amy was her sister (as she called herself), and in addition, since Amy had lost her memory, she couldn't help but have a little doubt about Amy in her heart.

"..."

Because of Yu's frankness, the atmosphere changed drastically in an instant. In this situation, Amy was the only one who had no thoughts about Yu's previous words from beginning to end. After everyone fell silent, she turned around and asked Yu in a calm tone:

"So... you weren't joking when you asked me if I wanted to be a demon king?"

If the other party is really a subordinate of the Demon King, then it is impossible for him to say so much and reveal his identity. However, now Yu has told almost everything he knows. Such behavior is equivalent to betraying his "superior". In this case, thinking about what Yu said before when he asked Amy whether she wanted to be the Demon King... Very good, the betrayal is confirmed!

"I'm not kidding, but it's clear that you have misunderstood a little, little Amy!"

He was completely unconcerned with the surrounding atmosphere and the changes in the other people's gazes. In fact, from beginning to end, apart from Amy, Yu almost never had any extra expression due to other people's reactions. It seemed that he always had a gentle and elegant smile on his face, but underneath that smile was indifference and coldness towards everyone... Only when facing Amy would that unchanging, plain smile be filled with doting and emotion.

At this moment, Amy had a misunderstanding, and Yu immediately explained with a smile:

"The Demon King and I don't actually have much to do with each other. To be honest... well, didn't I just say that? The Demon King relied on his talent to summon a 'demon' from another world to overthrow the previous Demon King's rule. In fact, I do have a relationship with that 'demon', and all of this was told to me by that cute little devil!"

This point still needs to be clarified a little!

112. Gaimon's Plan

Hei Yu naturally wouldn't hide anything from Yu. Furthermore, the two of them were also planning some things while searching for Amy. After obtaining Lessa's indifferent consent, the plan naturally began to be implemented. The first step in implementing the plan was right now...

　"So... Regarding the Demon King's affairs, there is actually a reason why I am speaking out now!"

　After explaining her curiosity to Amy, Yu turned his attention to the others again. Finally, he looked at Xueli and said,

　"In fact, although I am not a subordinate of the Demon King, I came to the human race this time with a mission from him!"

　She said so, but Xueli frowned. Her mind was completely confused by Yu's news, and she immediately asked:

　"What mission?"

　He actually casually mentioned this kind of thing to them, so this mission must be related to them. Xueli couldn't see through Yu's identity at all, so her tone was full of vigilance when she spoke. However, Yu didn't care about this and just said casually:

　"That demon king wants to cooperate with you humans... no, with all the other races, to end war and achieve harmonious development. Princess, what are your thoughts?"

　I don't know how much shock this light-hearted sentence brought. At least the next second after hearing Yu's words, Xueli's originally suspicious eyes were suddenly filled with suspicion:

　"I don't think this joke is funny!"

　The reason why the Demon King is called the Demon King is that it itself is synonymous with fear of the other party and evil, and the demons have been an aggressive and demonic race since ancient times. Although Xueli does not deny that there are some kind demons among them, but to talk about coexisting peacefully with the demons... Honestly speaking, for people who live in a continent that has been continuously invaded by demons for thousands of years, it is obviously something that is completely impossible to accept!

　"I was serious!"

　However, Yu was obviously not joking. She repeated the words with a smile. From her eyes... Xueli instantly understood the other party's true thoughts.

　"..."

　This time, not to mention her, even the others fell silent at the same time. Of course, peace is good. If the Demon King really has that intention, it will be a great joy for the entire continent. However... this kind of thing is impossible, absolutely impossible. There is no doubt about it. Therefore, she can see that Yu is absolutely serious at this moment, but... Xueli will not believe it one hundred percent.

　"...Okay, you can just pretend I didn't say anything and let this matter go!"

　As if he had anticipated this result, Yu casually spread his hands and said so. After glancing outside, he smiled and said:

　"Well~~ We'll talk about what happened next, but let's talk about the present... The 'Demon King' finally couldn't sit still and came out!"

　This sentence immediately attracted everyone's attention and they all looked out the window. They saw a figure in dark armor standing not far from the window, surrounded by several undead beasts. He looked at the ruined City Lord's Mansion, his eyes... filled with anger and deep doubts.

Gaimon thought he had planned everything well. After the other party took the Blade of Time from the ruins, he had been using his secret agents to secretly observe everything in the City Lord's Mansion. He knew everything about the comings and goings of the people there. Because Baimu City did not prohibit the demons from entering and leaving, Gaimon easily entered the city after disguising himself.

Even after setting up the dark sky curtain, he deliberately sensed it outside the city lord's mansion to confirm that the two human princesses were indeed in it, and the Blade of Time naturally could not leave them, so he released his army of undead beasts without thinking, ready to kill them all, take away the Blade of Time, and then lift the dark sky curtain and put the blame on Lessa.

The plan went very smoothly at the beginning. Under the dark sky released by his demon-level strength, the strength of the human race was almost reduced to the lowest level. Coupled with the powerful strength and immortality of the undead beasts, it was easy to kill all the living people in the City Lord's Mansion. Then the undead beasts began to move towards the target area.

When he first attacked Ai Xue and Xue Li, he had no intention of taking them down directly. After all, Gaimon didn't think it would be so easy to take down a princess and a brave man. But at the same time, he also had absolute confidence in his undead beast. This power... did not belong to this world!

Then everything went as expected. Even someone as strong as Ai Xue could only fight and retreat when fighting against the undead beast. It seemed that she was planning to join up with the humans on the other side. Gaimon, who wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop, naturally didn't stop them. He let them join up, but he never expected that the other party would suddenly disappear from his perception in the next moment...?

Being in the dark sky, although he couldn't see, Gaimon could undoubtedly sense everything in it. The dark sky prohibited some means of transmission. It was a high-level dark forbidden technique that only elite generals of the demon clan were qualified to learn. Its effect was naturally not something that anyone could easily break. Therefore, although those people's reactions disappeared, Gaimon could be sure that the other party was definitely still in his own barrier.

At first, he was not in a hurry. He just thought that the other party might have hidden himself in some way. As long as he looked for it, he would be able to find some clues. However, as time passed, Gaimon began to get anxious without a doubt!

The Blade of Time is something that must be obtained, but the most important thing for his attack this time is to kill the two human princesses, so as to provoke conflicts between humans and demons and let them kill each other. However, the life and death of the princesses is unknown now. In this case, although he can also carry out his plan and lift the barrier to let people outside know the situation here, there are still variables.

Gaimon doesn't like changes, especially after he encountered the counterattack of the "princess" whom he once escaped. Now he is used to keeping everything in his own hands no matter what he does. So after ordering the undead beast to continue searching in the barrier, he finally couldn't sit still and came here in person, and then walked to the room wrapped in the dimensional wall.

The dimensional wall was released by Yu, and since she could be so unscrupulous, it naturally meant that she had absolute confidence that no one would be able to discover it and the people in it. Therefore, when Gaimon appeared, Ai Xue and others who should have been alert and even ready to take action were shocked to find that the other party just walked through the dimensional wall in front of them, and then after coming out from the other side, he went directly in another direction as if he had not discovered anything.

It was as if the small space they were in was completely cut out of this world. Even though they were so close, even the Demon King didn't notice their existence.

113. The idea came to me so suddenly

(The title is Xiaoyu's self-deprecation...)

"you……"

Shocked, unbelievable, and suspicious eyes were once again focused on Yu. If everyone was just amazed at the effect of Yu's dimensional wall at the beginning, then now that it could even deceive the Demon King, Xueli and others looked at Yu with more than just shock.

　The Demon King... he was universally acknowledged as the strongest being on the continent, yet he was completely unaware of Yu's barrier. Doesn't this mean that Yu's strength has already...

　No one dared to think about what happened next, not to mention that the Demon King Gaimon was still searching outside. Although they saw the power of Yu's barrier, they still stared at Gaimon who was still searching, as if they were afraid that he would discover something.

　Although in the eyes of Yu or Heiyu, Gaimon's strength is just so-so, in fact, Heiyu has gone to Gaimon's Demon Palace to bully him more than once, and this is exactly why Gaimon constantly wants to become stronger and even has his eyes on the Blade of Time. But in fact, as a former Demon King who has gained the power of the Joker, Gaimon's strength is definitely at the ceiling level in this world.

　Even if Shirley and the others joined forces, they would have no chance of winning. That was the truth that everyone understood the moment they saw Gaimon.

　Suo Xingyu's barrier was still very reliable. Although he was unwilling in his heart, as the dawn was approaching, Gaimon finally had no choice but to evacuate with reluctance. Since he could not find the two princesses, he was ready to spread the fact that the demons had massacred the Lord's Mansion of Baimu City.

　On the other side, after confirming that Gaimon had left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The slight doubts they had about what Yu had said before were dispelled by Gaimon's appearance.

　However, if this situation develops, even though Yu seems to have a relationship with the Demon King, at least Xueli and the others will not regard him as an enemy. After all, they have been getting along with him for a while, and they have developed some good feelings and trust for Yu.

　The most urgent situation was undoubtedly to return home immediately. Before the "rumors" about Gaimon spread, the two princesses returned to the imperial city first, and then summoned all the heroes to prepare for the attack on Gaimon. However, at this moment...something strange happened suddenly!

　"Bang~Bang~"

　"Uh……"

　"Uh……"

　With two muffled sounds, Xiaotang and Xia Lu, who didn't even react, suddenly fainted in front of everyone, and behind them was Yu who had walked over there at some point.

　"?!"

　"Yu, what are you doing?!"

　Yu's sudden move obviously made Ai Xueyu and Xueli slightly stunned. When the two of them reacted and were about to make some moves, two vines suddenly stretched out from the shadows under their feet in the darkness in the next second, and then just bound the two of them.

　At the end of the vines, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows: a humanoid figure, wearing emerald green armor and a face that looked more like a blooming rose with eyes than a face. As this voice appeared, under the shocked and angry gazes of Ai Xue and Xue Li, Yu's voice also slowly rang out:

　"Let me introduce you to this! Unlike the inferior version just now, this is the real 'Undead Beast'!"

　"Its name is... the Ten of Hearts!"

"Undead beast?!"

"Yu, you..."

Setting aside the name of the 10 of Hearts, the undead beast clearly captured their full attention. After all, it had been wreaking havoc outside just a few minutes ago, not to mention what Yu had just said. A real... undead beast?

Although it was unclear what the difference was between a low-quality one and the real one, there was no doubt that the other party was definitely much stronger than the undead beast that Gaimon had previously controlled... Of course, for the moment, this was obviously not the point, but:

"Why do you have undead beasts?!"

as well as……

"What are you doing?"

He suddenly attacked and knocked Xiaotang and Xialu unconscious. Before Amy could react, Yu did not answer their questions. The undead beast he had just summoned had the ability to devour energy, so it was obvious that neither Amy nor Xueli could break free from its restraints. However, Yu ignored them and came to Amy, who was in a state of confusion from beginning to end. He suddenly said:

"Do you believe me?"

The words without any prefix suddenly came out of Yu's mouth, which made Amy stunned immediately:

"what?"

"If you believe me, then... follow me. Don't worry, everything I do now... is for your own good, and will definitely not cause any harm to this world!"

Yu said something like a promise to Amy. Before Amy could react, Ai Xue on the other side had already shouted at Amy:

"Little Amy, don't listen to her!"

At this moment, leaving aside other messy things, at least Yu’s current purpose is very clear... that is to take Amy away. Although it is a little confusing whether the other party is an enemy or a friend, this one thing... is something she absolutely will not allow!

"...So what the hell are you doing?"

Suddenly making so many strange movements and saying such strange words, it seemed that Amy was mentally prepared for the fact that Yu possessed an undead beast. In fact, even when facing the other party's sudden attack and knocking out Xiaotang and Xia Lu, she strangely found that she did not feel any disappointment, anger, or sadness of being betrayed in her heart. Instead, it was as if she was facing a... mischievous little girl.

When Amy said this, Yu's response was as playful as a mischievous little girl:

"Well~~ time is running out, so I'm not going to play it safe anymore!"

It was another sentence that was hard to understand, but one could tell that Yu was originally planning something, but now... the plan suddenly changed!

The reason is because...

"I have to take you away and prepare for what's coming next. The enemy... is coming soon!"

When he said this, Yu's tone finally showed a bit of solemnity. However, not to mention that Amy had lost her memory, even if Yu Huan had not lost his memory, he would probably be confused by what the other party said!

"So, what are you..."

"Trust me, just follow me, otherwise... I will take you away by force!"

He directly interrupted what Amy was about to say, and this sentence left Amy speechless.
