A luxurious theater.
Outstanding performances by the actors.
And dazzling special effects.
As the play reached its climax, the audience was cheering louder one by one.
The problem, though, was that the Demon King cried out in joy every time the Hero succeeded against her.
Grrk!
Once again, the Hero’s strike lands successfully on the Demon King.
My heart raced as if I had been struck myself.
Glancing nervously, I noticed the Demon King frowning as if dissatisfied.
Her expression made me even more anxious.
‘B-But she’s the Demon King… She has to show something!’
Right. No matter how much of a play it is, the Demon King wouldn’t go down easily.
After all, she’s the Demon King. The invincible calamity. The enemy of all beings.
Surely they would have an intense showdown with a hidden final blow at the end. A romantic climax, right?
No, it absolutely had to happen!
‘Please…’
Yet, perhaps the play focused on satisfying the audience’s desires.
The Hero, Liliyana, who protects everyone, never allowed a single attack through to the Demon King.
Gak!
With spectacular effects, the Demon King’s blood scattered around.
It felt as if something real was cut.
“These worthless fools are underestimating me.”
A drop of cold sweat formed at her chilling voice, and my breath began to tremble.
‘P-Please… Just let me have one effective hit…!’
I shouldn’t be feeling this way, but instinctively, I found myself rooting for the Demon King.
I felt like tears were welling up beside me from the aura of death I could sense.
As time passed now.
Hope for humanity, yet an endless despair for me.
The Demon King had managed to bring down the Hero without laying a single finger on her.
“……”
The Demon King, with a cold face, gazed silently at the stage.
I hurriedly took her hand and turned her gaze towards me.
Her blood-red pupils pierced through me.
“Uh… The play isn’t so great, right? The Demon King couldn’t possibly lose like that.”
“……”
Despite my urgent words, the Demon King shifted her gaze back towards the stage without answering.
“Are you going to die like this?!”
The Demon King, who had clearly been down, instantly stood up and stealthily ambushed the Hero from behind.
Guh!
Finally, the Demon King allowed the Hero one hit.
But unfortunately, the Demon King beside me did not seem pleased at all.
In fact, she was glaring at the stage with a much more ferocious expression than before.
“These… insects… dare to ambush me in my own form?”
The Demon King’s killing intent began to rise.
“…Why can’t I breathe?”
Hah… W-What is this feeling..
Hwaang… Mommy, I’m scared…
“Is this something that can be produced by special effects?”
The surrounding audience began to wear confused expressions one by one as the air shifted.
“There’s no reason to spare these fools.”
With a brief statement, the Demon King attempted to rise from her seat.
‘Oh no…’
My mind felt like it snapped.
The play or whatever didn’t matter; I could only think of blocking the Demon King.
In a panic, I hurriedly jumped up and sat on her lap before she could rise.
The terrifying face of the Demon King was right in front of me.
So close that I could feel her breath.
“Get away.”
“…..”
“I have no intention of forgiving them-”
I pressed my lips against hers.
Feeling her rough, yet soft lips vividly against mine.
Taken aback by my actions, the Demon King tried to move, but I held onto the back of her neck tightly with both hands.
Chick-chick-chick
Not giving her a moment’s rest, I kept pecking at her lips.
“Wait…”
The Demon King tried to say something, but I didn’t stop and continued to cover her lips.
Somehow, I had to stop her.
It was none other than me who brought the Demon King here.
I couldn’t let the audience, who came to enjoy the play, be slaughtered because of me.
Desperate for the Demon King to calm down even a little, I kept marking her with my kisses.
During this, the Demon King gently held my face and pulled me aside.
“…It’s useless. I have already made up my mind to kill them.”
“Ah…”
But all I got in return was a firm rejection.
Her ominous verdict made my eyes begin to heat up.
“Please… don’t, Demon King…”
“Get away. I’ll kill you first.”
With no power to stop her, all I could do was sit on her lap, making sure she couldn’t move.
Parents brought along their children.
Couples with their precious loved ones.
Even those who came alone to enjoy the play.
They would all die because of me.
Overwhelmed with guilt and the increasingly desperate situation.
Tears began to well up and spill over.
“You have ignored my warning…”
As the Demon King spoke, she looked at my face, wide-eyed in surprise.
I tried to wipe away the tears that were about to flow and desperately grasped her.
My determination to seduce her vanished, replaced only by the wish to save those innocent individuals.
“P-Please… just this once, will you spare them…?”
“……”
“Uh… I’m begging you… just once, have mercy…”
With my hands clasped, I prayed earnestly to her.
Words barely escaped from my mouth, choked by tears.
But I wanted to say one more word to stop her.
“Please… ugh… please….”
“……”
The Demon King stared at my face without providing any reply.
After a moment, thankfully, the killing intent that had been pressing down vanished.
The audience, seemingly unsure of what had just happened, wore blank expressions before starting to praise the special effects enthusiastically.
Cautiously, I lifted my gaze to the Demon King.
An expression I had never seen before.
With a flushed face and a peculiar smile, she looked down at me.
“Uh… D-Demon King…?”
“I’ve felt it for a while now… You really do look cute when you cry.”
Wiping my flowing tears with her finger, the Demon King sucked on her wet finger and gave me a gentle smile.
“My anger has subsided. I won’t kill them.”
“Th-Thank you..! Thank you..!”
Overwhelmed with emotion, tears almost burst forth again, but I held them back.
As I bowed my head repeatedly in gratitude, the Demon King wiped my eyes once more.
“But from now on, I will decide our next destination.”
“Our next destination…?”
“Food. The play has already catered to your whims twice, so now you’ll come with me wherever I want.”
Was she talking about the next date…?
I had wanted to go to a famous and quiet bar to compete with the power of alcohol.
But then I thought that going where the Demon King wanted wouldn’t be so bad.
After crying for a long time, my determination to seduce her began to fade a little.
“…Alright…”
As I weakly nodded, the Demon King released me from her lap with a strange smile.
“Let’s go right away. It’ll be the tastiest now, so keep crying if you can.”
“…..?”
Huh…?
Tastiest…?
Was there a specific food she wanted?
A warm candlelight setting the mood.
Sounds of water flowing from the bath.
And here I was, sitting on a large bed.
“……Huh?”
Sitting on the bed with a dazed expression, I let out a weakening sound.
After spending quite a while crying and exhausting myself.
Without any thought, I had followed the Demon King to where she wanted to go, and now I found myself sitting in the center of a large bed.
This was an inn. A high-class room fit for nobles.
‘Why… why did we come here?’
Had I been so tired from the date?
Did she just want a place to rest?
Surely, it couldn’t be for some other reason?
While sorting through the chaos in my mind, I jolted at the sound of the bathroom door opening.
“Thanks for waiting.”
“D-Demon King…”
With slightly damp hair and wearing nothing but a robe, she revealed her bare body.
I couldn’t find where to look, her appearance was far too stimulating.
“You’re cute. After putting on such a show, you’re now shy?”
“N-No, that’s…”
I had planned to seduce her for peace, but I never expected this situation.
Could it be…
Could it be she really brought me here for that purpose?
The Demon King, who knew nothing but slaughter…?
“Aren’t you going to wash up?”
“I-I…”
“Well, you’ll be soaked in sweat anyway. It’s meaningless.”
It seemed my wildest thoughts were correct.
W-What should I do…?
I intended to seduce her, but I wasn’t prepared for anything like this.
No, who shows such drastic behavior in just a day…?
Not just anyone, but the Demon King.
As the Demon King sat seductively beside me, she stroked my chin with her finger.
“Now, do your duty.”
“D-Duty?”
“Weren’t you thinking of seducing me? If so, you must take responsibility and please me.”
“Y-You knew…?”
I asked with a trembling voice, and the Demon King grinned playfully.
“Well, you were cute, but it felt like you were wearing a mask that didn’t suit you. On the other hand, your current face looks delightful.”
As the Demon King’s hand slipped under my skirt, my body instinctively trembled.
“I-I don’t want to…”
“Don’t be difficult. I’ll make you feel so good you’ll love it.”
The Demon King’s face drew nearer to my lips.
I found myself frozen in shock and fear, unable to move.
“W-Wait…”
What should I do?
Am I really supposed to do this with the Demon King?
…Really?
