"Promise me—" Marisa looked up, a pair of golden pupils similar to those of the Great Demon King, filled with a determined light, and said in an unquestioning tone. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"―Friends with Patsy!"

"Huh?" The Great Demon King couldn't believe the words that came out of Marisa's mouth, and looked at Marisa with surprised eyes for a long time, and only after seeing that Marisa didn't change her words at all, did he confirm that he had heard correctly.

"There's something wrong with you," said the Great Demon King, laughing a little, "that guy is trying to kill me—kill me!" ”

"You're going to make me friends with that guy or something..."

"It's easy for you, right?" Marisa clenched her fists and said in a huff.

"As long as you come up with the kind of tricks you used to deceive the Son of Heaven, you will be able to easily become friends with Patsy!"

"This, of course... Of course, it wasn't too difficult for me! Despite the silent betrayal of his once most loyal men, despite the contemptuous eyes of his former female friends, and despite the slightest weakness of heart, the Great Demon King replied like this.

"Then promise me to be friends with Patsy!" After saying such words in an impassioned and loud voice, Marisa lowered her head again and whispered:

"You and Patchy are important to me, I can't see you go down like this..."

After hearing Marisa's words, the Great Demon King was stunned, and then put on a bitter smile.

Patting Marisa's wide witch hat, the Great Demon King whispered:

"So you didn't know that you had become such a person..."

I don't know why, seeing Marisa like this, the Great Demon King unconsciously thought of the brave.

'That guy is like that, he only knows how to think about others, and he doesn't know how to care about himself at all...'

Thinking like this, the Great Demon King suddenly felt that his chest was empty, as if he had lost something important.

He shook his head, leaving behind the feeling of emptiness that had suddenly sprung up.

Then, the Great Demon King looked at Marisa seriously and said with a little seriousness:

"In that case, you have to promise me one thing."

"W-what..."Inexplicably, after seeing the Great Demon King's focused eyes, Marisa unexpectedly turned her head to the side a little shyly.

"Reconcile with Xianglin."

Talking about the proprietress of Xianglintang, who had hurt the old man in the fog and rain, Marisa's mood was obviously lowered.

Pulling down his overly wide hat to cover his face, his eyes fixed on his toes, Mari said in a hoarse voice:

"Don't meddle! Didn't we say we wouldn't interfere in each other's lives? ”

Despite Marisa's rebellious attitude, the Great Demon King continued:

"I went to visit Xianglin this morning, and I see her now - I regret it..."

"If you regret it, don't do something like that!" A little bit of water seeped out of the corners of Marisa's eyes, and even now, as long as she thought of the miserable appearance of the old man in the foggy rain, Marisa couldn't suppress her ugly emotions.

"She didn't want to do that, she just- she was just controlled by a magic prop."

“… I'll try to try. After a long silence, Marisa replied quietly.

Seeing that Marisa agreed, the Great Demon King also breathed a sigh of relief, and rubbed his hand on the hilt of the sword given by Xianglin, and the Great Demon King waited until Marisa's spirit improved, and then said softly:

"The Great Demon King's House will be handed over to you first, don't run around outside all the time during this time, go and do something for your heart a little."

After seeing Marisa nod, the Great Demon King continued:

"If you have breakfast, you can solve it at home, you can go to eat it with your heart for lunch, and for dinner, you can go to the temple house or the fog and rain house, and I have said hello on both sides..."

"Got it! I'm not a child! In the blink of an eye, Marisa changed back to her original self and said impatiently to the Great Demon King.

With a smile, the Great Demon King shook his head, didn't say anything, and prepared to set off towards the Monster Mountain.

"Wait!" Marisa suddenly called out to the Great Demon King, who had already walked to the gate.

"When are you coming back?"

"If it goes well, it's probably a weekend, right?"

"Really...", saying the Great Demon King's mantra, Marisa hid back in her room.

Walking into the courtyard in silence, the Great Demon King shook his body and turned into a black dragon at Lloyd's exclamation.

beckoned Fran to tie the daily necessities he was going to bring over to his body, and then the Great Demon King carried the three of them and flew into the sky in a blink of an eye.

With the speed of transforming into a dragon, it didn't take long for the Great Demon King to see the majestic outline of Youkai Mountain.

Passing through the clouds, the Great Demon King recognized the direction and swooped towards the place agreed with Wen.

In the midst of Fran's excited shouting, the Great Demon King landed on the ground in a dashing posture.

As soon as they came into contact with the land, Pacouli, who had a cowardly physique, and Lloyd, who looked weak, began to hold their stomachs uncomfortably.

"Hah! You're still so fast. After seeing the Great Demon King change back to his original appearance, Wen, who seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, couldn't wait to come over.

"Sorry for the slight delay in saying goodbye."

"It's okay! Never mind! Just come here! Wen waved his hand very enthusiastically, and then stepped forward and affectionately pulled the arm of the Great Demon King, leading the Great Demon King towards the mountain.

"By the way, why did you suddenly agree to my proposal and come to live on the monster mountain?" After a pause, Wen asked cautiously.

"It's just that I came up to open a store, and I still have to go home on weekends."

“…”

Wen suddenly let go of the Great Demon King's arm without saying a word, turned his back and lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

After this posture lasted for a while, Wen, who seemed to have suddenly figured out something, suddenly reverted back to his original enthusiastic appearance.

After hugging the Great Demon King in a more intimate posture than before, Wen said loudly:

"You haven't seen the house I found for you, and I tell you, you'll be very satisfied when you see it, and it's right next door to mine." Quietly glancing at the big demon king who was in a hurry by his own actions, Wen smiled slyly, hugged the big demon king's arm, and worked harder.
