Once upon a time, I was a demon king. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Like the legends recorded in the moldy ancient books, with vicious horns, flapping terrifying flesh wings, scorching flames between breaths, thunder and lightning flashing between gestures, and every appearance is accompanied by the cries and wails of mortals...
"Is meat sold at half price today... It's time to treat yourself, too. β
Once upon a time, I was a demon king.
Commanding tens of thousands of monster legions, playing horns made of bones, bringing suffering and despair to every life living in the Continent of Light, those who tried to resist in vain turned into dirt and dust, people didn't even dare to call me by my name, I was their nightmare living in reality...
"Wow! Even aluminum cans of beer are on sale at a discount β today must be my lucky day! β
Tightening the crudely made handmade scarf around his neck, the Great Demon King unconsciously shrunk his neck.
"It's a little cold this fall." The Great Demon King couldn't help but think so.
Since losing the last battle with the Brave, he has lost all his strength and has come to this different world called Gensokyo, just doing it like an ordinary person...
"That's in the past! Now, not only have I gained the crown of the crippled demon king and regained a lot of strength, but..."
"Anyway, one day I'm going to occupy this Gensokyo! Use this as a springboard to take revenge on the people of the Continent of Light! Cry out! Wail! Despair! β
"Hey! Uncle, would you like to try Kappa's new business? "I was stopped by a beautiful girl passing by.
"New business?" The Great Demon King stopped, put down the plastic bag containing meat and beer in his hand, and took the card handed by the other party with great interest.
"Letter... Credit card? Using the Gensokyo characters that he had gradually mastered, the Great Demon King read it softly.
"That's right." The girl who was carrying a canvas bag, a peaked cap, a double ponytail, and blue hair, dressed like a primary school student, patted her naΓ―ve chest and said confidently:
"To put it simply, you can use this card to spend for free at Kappa Heavy Industries' designated storesβ"
"Really!" The big demon king held the card in his hand and looked at the girl a little nervously, "It won't be a consumer trap, but I've seen a lot of it on the 'Wenwen News' recently..."
"Of course, we have to pay back the overdraft coins at the end of the month..."
"Oh." The Great Demon King replied lightly, and most of his interest suddenly disappeared.
Throwing the card back into the girl's hand, the Great Demon King turned around and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!" The girl grabbed the sleeve of the big demon king in a panic, "If you handle it now, you will also be given three rolls of toilet paper..."
Saying goodbye to the girl, the big demon king casually put the credit card in his pocket, and wanted to leave like this, but was mysteriously stopped by the girl:
"Remember to pay off the arrears at the end of the month, otherwise something terrible and terrible will happen!"
"Oh." The Great Demon King replied casually.
Seeing that the Great Demon King was obviously not taking it to heart, the girl anxiously wanted to cry, and then pulled the sleeve of the Great Demon King, and said again:
"You must remember to return it!"
"Yes, I know!" The Great Demon King replied impatiently after learning the girl's way of speaking, and then, without giving the girl a chance to continue talking, he picked up the plastic bag on the ground and walked quickly towards the end of the street.
"I must pay it back!" Despite seeing the Great Demon King walking away, the girl shouted unwillingly.
Walking around the corner of the street, the Great Demon King finally got out of the girl's sight, so he slowed down his pace again.
"Speaking of which, this autumn has been a bit too cold." The Great Demon King tightened his scarf again, curling up as much as he could into his warm coat.
'Mercury is the base, and steel is the bone. β
Suddenly, the Great Demon King only felt that it was dark in front of him, and at the same time, a somewhat cold female voice seemed to come out of his head, and suddenly echoed in the Great Demon King's mind.
'Is it coming again?' The Great Demon King frowned, these voices that suddenly appeared in his mind, only the Great Demon King knew it, had been haunting the Great Demon King for some time, and every time it came to such a moment, the Great Demon King felt as if his soul had been torn apart, as if he would disappear from this world if he was not careful.
"What's wrong?" A familiar voice sounded in the ears of the Great Demon King.
The Great Demon King barely raised his head and found the slightly concerned face of the Shooting Pill.
"It's a bit of a headache." After thinking about it, the Great Demon King added, "It's only intermittent, and it won't take long to get better." β
As he spoke, the Great Demon King felt the pain go away from him, as if nothing had happened before.
"That's right...", Shotimaru pointed his finger at his cheek, and after a while, he proposed without thinking, "I see, you might as well go forever..."
Shotmaru's words stopped abruptly, and he said curtly after a while:
"It's probably just too much pressure, so let's take as much rest as possible..."
"Oh, that's right." The Great Demon King's face was also a little stiff, and after answering lightly, he froze in place so stupidly.
"By the way, I'll treat you to barbecue." The Shooting Pill, who had been looking around in embarrassment, suddenly clasped his palms after seeing the plastic bag carried by the Great Demon King, and pretended to be excited.
After accepting the proposal of the Shotimaru, the Great Demon King followed the Shotimaru to the barbecue shop opened by the family youkai, and after handing the meat to the proprietress who was suspected of being a bird monster, the Great Demon King and the Shotimaru casually found a round table and sat down.
For a while, the atmosphere between the two became a little awkward.
"Yes... By the way, you've bought a bit more beer, so I'll call someone over. β
After saying that, without waiting for the Great Demon King to answer, he took out a metal box from his clothes in a panic, and then after scribbling on it, he shouted loudly at the box:
"Hurry up."
"What is this?" Although the mood was still not very pleasant, the Great Demon King couldn't help but be curious about things he had never seen before, and asked about the role of the box in Shotimaru's hand.
"It's a new machine made by Kappa, it's called a mobile phone, and it probably allows people who are holding it to talk to each other."
"It's not a teleportation magic yet."
"You can't say that... But I'm also the one who prefers not to use a mobile phone. β
After the shots, there was silence between the two of them again, but it didn't take long for a dog-eared girl wearing a white dress, a red hat, and short white hair to run over.
