After the Great Demon King chased him down the street, he realized that he could no longer see the previous guests. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info
'Damn, if Fran had told me sooner. ’
Although the Great Demon King was a little strange about why the other Demon King weapons he had brought with him did not react, since the fragments of the Demon King's Sword resonated, it meant that there must be something related to him on the body of the guest who was looking for hospitality before.
However, if you think about it, the previous guests were—a pair of blonde sisters who didn't have a sense of presence, a green-haired shrine maiden who had met once, a Raven Tengu girl who didn't quite deal with Wen, and the little white dog who followed Wen... And a pink-haired girl—right? ’
Frowning, the Great Demon King was trying to sketch in his mind the girl who had appeared in his shop before.
Although I was busy cooking, the little white dog, Inu, had been to the kitchen, and I didn't feel anything about me in her at the time. ’
Standing on the street like this, the Great Demon King continued to think.
In this way, the dog can be excluded for the time being. ’
Next, there is the girl who doesn't deal with Wen very well, and when the dog walked into the kitchen and told me to go out to fight, I also saw her, and I didn't feel anything abnormal in her, so I could get rid of her. ’
After that, the sisters who didn't have a sense of presence came in, and although they were back in the kitchen at this time, at that moment, they didn't feel anything related to the Demon King's armament. ’
'In the end, when I came out to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, I hurriedly saw the backs of the remaining two..."
In other words, the clue to the Demon King's armament lies in the remaining two people who have not directly met him? Thinking of this, the Great Demon King turned around and returned to his shop.
"Why are you back again?" Suddenly, Lloyd, who had said that he was going out to run errands, appeared in front of him again, and was still talking to Pache just now, looking a little cramped.
"Can you tell me where the last two people to come in are?"
"The last two to come in?"
"It's the green-haired shrine maiden and the pink-haired girl." The Great Demon King said as a matter of course.
After listening to the words of the Great Demon King, Lloyd did not answer immediately, but bit his lip and hesitated for a while before asking a little nervously:
"I listen to Pa... I've heard people say that you seem to be trying to collect some weird magic items and use them to conquer Gensokyo—is that true? ”
Hearing this, the Great Demon King turned his head to look at Patchouli, and Patchouli also buried her head in the magic guide book she carried with her at the right time, ignoring the Arch Devil's somewhat angry eyes.
“… In a way, she wasn't wrong. ”
"Then I can't tell you their addresses." After careful consideration, Lloyd replied categorically.
"Why? You're mine..."
"What about your enemies?" Lloyd said word by word, as if he was firming up his thoughts.
Standing up from the chair, Lloyd stood quite formally opposite the Great Demon King, and after bowing politely to the Great Demon King, he said with a firm face:
"Anyway, it's almost impossible to hide it... Tell you, Lloyd Bannings is just my pseudonym! ”
After taking a deep breath, Lloyd continued:
"My name is Lloyd, Margot Royd! I'm here to get revenge on you! To you who took my friend Marisa—"
Lloyd threw the white gloves he wore in front of the Great Demon King, as dignified and majestic as a knight in the Middle Ages who challenged his lover to the death.
"Vengeance!"
It seemed that the impassioned words strengthened Royd's conviction, and one of Royd's eyes shot an unmistakable light.
“… I'm out for a walk. After staring at Lloyd for a while, and seeing that Lloyd didn't have the slightest intention of changing his mind, the Great Demon King gritted his teeth, turned around and walked out of the door again.
Aimlessly wandering the streets on this monster mountain with a different flavor from the world, the Great Demon King once again tasted the feeling of frustration.
'Really, what were you expecting... Didn't you know from the beginning that the guy came with a revenge mentality, why did you unconsciously treat him as your own after seeing that guy's smiling face? ’
When did you start to trust others so easily? ’
Complaining in his heart about his incompetence, the Great Demon King squatted in the corner of the uninhabited alley, looking at the light of the lanterns that gradually lit up around him, and his heart became more and more confused.
'What is this sense of emptiness that has been haunting me since the battle with Xianglin? ’
I actually said that I wanted to be friends with someone else or something—I would never do such a thing in the past. ’
Hold on to your heart that won't beat - these weak emotions have never bothered you since you made a part of your heart into the most powerful demon king.
Ah, forget that you've lost even the Demon King's Stone now. ’
Smiling self-deprecatingly, when the Great Demon King raised his head, he saw an unexpected person at the entrance of the alley.
The purple-haired witch was shining in the moonlight, like a demon who could really seduce people's souls, and when she saw the big demon king, she raised her neck proudly, and said sarcastically without hesitation:
"It's ugly."
“… What are you here for? ”
"Nominally, I accepted the request of the worried Lloyd.,Use magic to catch a certain 'runaway' demon king.,But-"
Pache licked her lips lightly, and against the backdrop of the shadows, she was unexpectedly seductive.
"The shrine where that shrine maiden is located is still too dangerous for you right now, for now, you should go to Ibaraki Kafan to inquire about the news, and I will tell you where her dojo is."
"Ibaraki Hua fan?"
"It's the name of the pink-haired girl you've always wanted to know." Pache suddenly approached, and her eyes flashed with a light that the Great Demon King couldn't understand, which made the Great Demon King feel a little addicted.
“… Why help me? After thinking for a long time, the Great Demon King still asked astringently.
"In love with you?"
"Tell you the truth."
Pache stood up suddenly, turned around, looked up at the moon in the sky, and said in an illusory tone:
"You're going further and further down the path of self-destruction, and I'm just trying to push you in the back of a cliff."
"Thank you for your kindness." Remembering the address of the 'Ibaraki Hua Fan' that Patchouli said, the Great Demon King thought for a while, and then quickly passed past Patchouli's side, and the wind brought up Patchouli's dress, making Patchouli unconsciously close her eyes and reach out to hold the hem of her skirt.
"But the Demon King is a winged creature."
In the distance, the voice of the Great Demon King came from the wind.
