100 – A slightly disappointing date with the devil

A wide world in front of your eyes.

A place where countless people are busy walking around, and demons of all ages are enthusiastic about their work and show off their vitality.

That is…

The city that appears in front of our eyes at this very moment.

It was the appearance of Jerusalem, the capital of the Demon Kingdom.

“It’s a strange feeling… ”

“yes? Why?”

While walking around the city, the demon lord expresses admiration with a quiet yet heartfelt voice.

In front of her, I felt a little curious and asked a question.

As if it were another city, this place where we were located was Jerusalem, the capital city where the Demon King resides.

Even now, if you turn your head, you can see the appearance of the demon castle, so it is a place not too far from the radius of the demon king’s usual life.

Nevertheless, at this moment, there was one fact that I could clearly feel through the image of the demon king walking alongside me transformed.

‘Wow… There’s something incredibly shiny.’

The demon king looked around with a bright gaze like a child out to see the city for the first time.

In addition, as the story actually came out of her mouth, I naturally had no choice but to question it.

and,

Regarding these questions of mine.

As if realizing that he was a little too excited, the demon king blushed slightly and spoke cautiously.

“What can I say… For some reason, it seemed that the appearance of the city touched me quite differently from what Jim usually saw. What Jim always saw when he came out of the city himself was mostly everyone with their heads down and their heads bowed.”

“ah… I think you know what I mean.”

A story that would be considered quite strange to hear.

However, if you think about it calmly, the demon lord’s sentiment could be taken for granted.

Even though she was hiding her appearance as my lover in this place, she was definitely the monarch who led this country.

Of course, when she went out of the castle, she had no choice but to mobilize a large-scale escort, and the people of the Demon Kingdom would have no choice but to bow their heads to her as she naturally proceeded.

In addition, since the state of war had been going on all along, it would not have been easy to do so-called stealth as we had to maintain a state of emergency inside and outside the country in many ways.

For her, it would not have been easy to see the city in its raw state without any preparations, and it was natural to be amazed at it.

“So, Your Majesty… No, Esther, which one do you think looks better? Is it crowded like this? Or is everyone bowing their heads as usual?”

“As for which one I like better, Jim looks better the way he is now. To Jim, all the people are like children. It feels better to see such people laughing and chatting while engrossed in their work, rather than shaking their bodies with their heads bowed.”

“… indeed. I knew you would say that.”

Although he hides himself, the demon king still shows his heart as a benevolent monarch who cares for his people.

Seeing her like this

A deep smile automatically started to form on my lips.

“Then, shall we go that way this time? According to Marie, they sell a lot of delicious things over there.”

“is it? That’s something to look forward to.”

With those words, the two of us headed towards the market.

And in the process,

In order not to fall apart from each other… Under the implicit suspicion of doing so, I naturally took hold of the demon king’s hand.

A warm and gentle sensation felt right after that.

Despite being a warrior who usually wields her sword without hesitation, her hands were warmer than I had expected and at the same time very cozy.

In such an exhilarating mood that could be felt just by simply holding hands, I approached the stall that caught my eye immediately with the demon lord.

“Welcome! What should I give you?”

A middle-aged man asking a question in a cheerful voice.

As a result, I turned my attention to the various foods that were being sizzling right in front of my eyes.

‘What can I say… To be honest, I thought there would be a lot of unique things like demons, but surprisingly it doesn’t seem like that.’

The composition of the food stalls in front of me was unexpectedly similar to those of the Korean food stalls where I originally lived, but slightly different.

Yakitori made by putting the meat of a presumed bird on a skewer.

Steamed buns made with bean paste reminiscent of red beans inside, or bread that feels like Taiyaki.

In addition, internal dishes reminiscent of sundae, food that has a shape reminiscent of rice cakes and fish cakes, etc.

The things that can be called basic configuration gave a similar feeling, and in this regard, I was able to place an order without much worry despite being the first to come here.

The two of us set up a menu similar to what we eat at a snack bar or street food stall right in front of us.

As I put them in my mouth,

As expected, I was able to confirm once again that these tasted almost the same as I expected.

‘In that respect, I don’t have much burden… To be honest, I don’t know if it will suit the devil’s mouth.’

As a demon king who rarely traveled outside the palace except for serious situations such as war, I couldn’t easily predict how the common people’s food would be accepted by her.

‘First of all, considering the daily life of the Demon King, who spends his days eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, there is a high possibility that he really does not like it… ‘

It was at that time that I secretly began to look at the demon king, regretting belatedly that I had been complacent about thinking that this would be good as well.

“… .This… It’s such a strange taste, I really never thought there would be a dish that tastes like this.”

Demon King shows a little admiration while eagerly eating sundae-like food.

Then, while tasting other foods, she began to show that she was enjoying them rather eagerly, rather than feeling repulsive.

“Are you okay, Esther?”

“Of course. I’ve tasted many dishes like this before, but this is the first time. It’s a taste I want to try often when I get a chance.”

Like that, the demon king who showed his face as a king just now is now showing the appearance of a really ordinary woman.

Looking at her like this, I could feel once again that the girl in front of me is really diverse, but at the same time, all of them have aspects that I like.

‘I must have saved the country in my previous life. Just seeing that you can enjoy a date like this with someone like this… ‘

Once again, feeling happy about this current situation, I deeply captured the image of her eating in front of me in such a lovely way, forgetting to even eat.

at that time…

“yes?”

“!?”

The next moment, the demon king carefully lifted the pendant he was wearing around his neck as it started to vibrate lightly.

Then, while holding the pendant to her ear, she began to speak in a slightly lowered voice.

“What’s going on? Why all of a sudden… What… what?”

Some words from someone that came through the pendant.

The moment he heard this, the demon king’s face began to show a deep feeling of surprise.

Then she got up right away and looked at me and said.

“I’m sorry, hero, but it looks like we’ll have to stop dating here.”

“What happened?”

Originally, the demon king left his schedule neatly empty for today’s date.

To her, such a sudden call meant that it was obviously not because of an ordinary incident, and ahead of the regret of the fact that the date was interrupted, the question of what the hell had happened began to come to my mind one step ahead.

and,

In response to my question,

The demon king looked at my face and spoke in a calm voice.

“Something urgent has happened. According to the news, an envoy sent from the Elven Church is coming this way.”

“to… You mean the elven church?”

As the demon king said beforehand, this situation that occurred really unexpectedly.

In response, I began to return to the Demon King’s Castle with the Demon King, thinking that I would get involved in something far more troublesome than I had thought.

As usual, at the end of the date, I felt a bit regretful at the fact that my plan, which was scheduled to spend a more intense time with the demon lord, was ruined in vain…
