Keep attacking girls and try not to be killed by them

Emilia hugged her head and twisted on the ground in confusion.

Emilia now has two selves split in her mind.

One of them was saying, "That's impossible! Even if Banning becomes even more powerful, he won't be able to defeat the 'One and Only Demon God'. He's a monster that even the best of the Human Face Alliance combined can't match!"

The other self said, "I don't know much about Banning's background yet. Besides, I don't have to defeat the 'One and Only Demon' alone. Maybe Banning has a powerful background, right?"

After an intense brainstorming session, Emilia felt even more tired.

She no longer had the energy to think.

However, Emilia was at least certain of one thing, which was that she had to ask Banning again.

After asking clearly, Emilia will apologize when she should, get angry when she should, and will never avoid facing what she should face.

At this moment, there was a sudden "click" sound outside the door, which scared Emilia.

(It’s so late…who’s at the door?)

5.13 - Letting Go of Past Grudges (Part )

Emilia walked to the window, carefully stuck half of her head out and looked out, and found that it was a squirrel that stepped on and broke a branch in the backyard.

"Goo~"

The squirrel called out to Emilia and then ran away.

——(It turned out to be a squirrel… I was shocked.)

Perhaps because of the trauma she felt yesterday when the mayor's son, Kive, picked on her, Emilia was a little startled.

She returned to the hall, drank a glass of water, and felt much more relaxed.

Emilia has already made up her mind about her relationship with Banning.

Emilia now desperately hopes that she is the one who is wrong.

She would go to Banning to find out tomorrow morning, and then, no matter how angry or how much Banning scolded her, she would apologize and admit her mistake.

Emilia even thought that she must be the one who was wrong.

Because, the Banning that Emilia knew would never do such an extreme thing.

After relaxing, Emilia felt tired and sleepy.

She stood up and stretched, then realized that she was still wearing her outdoor shoes, so she opened the door and went out to change into her indoor shoes.

But the moment she opened the door, Emilia was shocked to find that Banning was standing at her door, peeking around and doing something unknown.

Emilia: “Uh…”

Jiang Ran: "Ah..."

Their eyes met quickly, then looked away, and then they both lowered their heads to look at their shoes.

Emilia was thinking, could it be that Benning came here because he couldn't bear to leave me? But it was already early in the morning. Oh my god, could he have been waiting outside my house for most of the night?

As for Banning, he wasn't thinking about anything, he was just reading Emilia's mind.

·

Banning had actually only been there for ten minutes. His purpose in coming to Emilia's house was to check for any suspicious individuals.

Fortunately, Emilia's family should not have been targeted so far.

"Mr. Banning, why are you here?"

In response to Emilia's question, Banning glanced at the sky. It was still dark, so it was not very appropriate to use the excuse of "couldn't sleep and went out for a walk."

So he just hit a straight ball.

"I was worried about you, so I came to see you."

As soon as these words came out, Emilia's face turned red.

When Banning saw Emilia's reaction, he roughly guessed in his heart that Emilia had "forgiven" him.

However, Benning still hasn't figured out why what he said at that time caused Emilia to react so strongly.

Is it really that outrageous to "defeat the one and only demon god, the Unspeakable Name"?

"Come in and talk first?"

"it is good."

Emilia didn't want others to see a man at her door in the middle of the night, for fear that some bad gossip would spread.

And Banning didn't want others to see that he and Emilia had such a close relationship, because this might be more detrimental to Emilia's safety.

So, the two hit it off, and a few minutes later, Banning was sitting on a chair in the living room, cup in hand.

After Banning sat down, Emilia walked silently to him, then sat down in a very upright kneeling position, then bent down and bowed, lowering her head sincerely to admit her mistake to Banning.

"Mr. Banning, I want to apologize.

Tonight at the Cat Girl Restaurant, I presumptuously thought that you were taking advantage of my kindness and that you disrespected me, so I said things I shouldn't have said to you and even took extreme actions.

I express my sincerest apology for my inappropriate words and actions, and I hope you can forgive me."

After saying that, Emilia continued to lower her head, waiting for Banning's reply.

Banning was slightly frightened by Emilia's exaggerated behavior. After a moment of hesitation, he hurried forward to help Emilia up.

"What are you doing, Emilia?" Banning said with a wry smile.

"I have done something very wrong to you. A formal apology is very necessary." Emilia still lowered her head.

"What's so excessive?"

"You told me about your 'mission' seriously, but I took your seriousness as a joke."

Only then did Emilia raise her head, look straight into Banning's eyes, and ask the question she had always wanted to ask tonight.

"Mr. Banning, you are serious about your mission to defeat the 'One and Only Demon God', correct?"

Banning didn't avoid looking at her. He looked at Emilia frankly and answered, "...Yes, I'm serious."

·

Hearing Banning's sincere answer, Emilia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Banning really didn't dislike herself, he just needed to complete a mission that ordinary people could hardly understand - Emilia felt that she could accept this result.

So Emilia wanted to kneel down and apologize to Banning again, but this time, Banning stopped her from apologizing again, and finally she had to give up.

"Emilia, defeating the 'One and Only Demon God' is nothing short of a fantasy. You think I'm joking, and that's perfectly normal."

Banning even took the initiative to excuse Emilia, just hoping that she would stop apologizing.

"I accept your apology. I forgive you, and I'm not actually angry. Let's just let this go, okay?"

Banning touched Emilia's little head, as lovingly as a brother comforting his sister.

"Thank you, Mr. Banning...!"

As for Emilia, she felt her body soften as she listened to Banning's gentle words.

If she hadn't had a shred of sanity left, she would have fallen into Banning's arms.

——(I said such harsh words and even left him alone, but he didn't care.)

——(He even came to me on his own initiative and stayed up most of the night on a mosquito-filled summer night.)

——(Such a good boy...if you miss him, you will never meet him again...)

Emilia secretly admired Banning's kindness in her heart, but there was one thing that still puzzled her: why did Banning take on such an outrageous mission as "defeating the only demon god"?

"Mr. Banning, I would like to ask you a question..."

Emilia expressed her confusion, and Banning's answer was that he was cursed by God at "birth" and he must defeat the "One and Only Demon, the Unspeakable Name". Otherwise, as long as he accepted the confession of the opposite sex, he and the person he loved would die immediately.

"God? Curse? How could there be such a curse...?"

Emilia originally thought that the content of the "mission" was outrageous enough, but she didn't expect that there was an even more outrageous reason behind this mission.

Is this god really kidding? Why would he bring down such an inexplicable curse on Benning?

"Isn't this too strange?"

This time, Emilia chose to believe Banning and she would not make the same mistake again.

"Yeah, I'm helpless too, but that's the reality."

Banning smiled bitterly, without a trace of falsehood in his expression.

Emilia stared at Banning, pondering for a moment before offering an enterprise-level understanding and solution to Banning's situation.

"Mr. Banning, what do you think of this... In other words... You can reject my confession on the surface, but we can act together from now on, just like... a couple...!

I will also lend you a helping hand in your mission to "defeat the One and Only Demon God"!

5.14 - Equipment Options

(Benni: Haha, Jiang Yan, I’ve been waiting for the day when I can make you mad!)

The stupid loli was gloating in her mind, but Jiang Ran didn't care at all.

The situation was completely under his control. The stupid loli's gloating only showed that all her time following Jiang Ran was in vain.

"Thank you, Emilia."

Jiang Ran put his hand on Emilia's shoulder to make his words seem more sincere.

——『Combat Class Skill [Trickster - Lv10] has been activated and is currently in effect...』

"But I don't want you to take such a huge risk."

"I don't know how strict the judgment of the 'Curse' is... According to your method, it may be fine, but it may also kill you, which I cannot accept."

"Do you understand what I mean, Emilia?"

After a whole set of combo skills, Emilia was already dizzy.

Being in a relationship, she automatically translated what Banning said, and the result of the translation was:

"Emilia, I like you, but I don't want you to get hurt, so we can't be together for the time being."

This translation result made Emilia overwhelmed with the "joy of victory".

——(He likes me!)

——(He really likes me!)

For Emilia, all she needs now is this answer!

Even if they can't be together in the short term, as long as she can confirm Benning's feelings, she will be satisfied!

"I understand. I understand!"

Emilia nodded her head happily like a fully automatic hydraulic pile driver.

"Thank you for your understanding, Emilia."

Jiang Ran smiled slightly, the mission was accomplished... However, it seemed that he was happy a little too early.

"Mr. Banning, don't worry, I will keep a distance from you." Emilia said solemnly, and this sentence made Jiang Ran, who thought he had accomplished the task, a little panicked.

"Keep your distance...and then what?" Jiang Ran asked cautiously.

"Of course, I'll go with you to defeat the 'One and Only Demon'."

Even during dinner that night, Emilia still thought that defeating the "One and Only Demon God" was impossible.

Now, she was full of confidence, as if she could defeat the "One and Only Demon God" with just a little preparation.

This is probably the power of love (bushi).
