Chapter 25: The Demon King's Name and the Pet Dog
Central City, Kane House.
When the sun sets, eggs hurt people at the end of the world. After a busy day, Kane and Angelina returned to their nest and ate dinner comfortably.
"Oh, my old bones, those little ghosts are so annoying. ”
"Old man Kane, why are you looking at me, I'm not a ghost!"
"You're not a ghost?"
"No, it is!"
"Okay, okay, you're not, you're not, hehe. ”
"What, really...... Why haven't they come back?"
"Brave and they went out?"
"Yes, the servant said they went out to buy something. Hey, if you haven't come back for so long, it can't be an accident, right?"
"You're so worried. Even without the Holy Aura, she is still a brave man. ”
"But what if ......"
"Hmph, if she really dies outside, she will save Vilvette from embarrassing herself in the future, she is obviously just an idiot. ”
"Hey, old man Kane, why are you mentioning this!"
She ...... Hey, forget it, don't mention it. Kane shook his head.
The atmosphere was a little delicate, and the two were silent, and neither of them spoke.
The evening breeze finally cooled people in the sweltering summer heat, and Kane opened the window and let the wind blow his beard.
The courtyard outside the window was overgrown with weeds and wildflowers, and the big trees by the door grew so thick and tall that the canopy could not even be seen through the windows.
"This tree is so tall. Kane said.
"yes. ”
"It's been seven years...... Hehe, seven years have passed, but I didn't expect the God-given land to still look like this. ”
"Because there are brave men. ”
"That's right, because the brave are still there, and they are still ......"
The camera zooms out and the time goes back to seven years ago, that day - the night of the red rose.
That morning, the cicadas chirped at the end of summer, and Kane took the brave Vilvette for a walk around Hogg House. Vilvette said she wanted to see these lovely children, because they were the hope of humanity, and when she died, it was up to them to protect the God-given land.
That day, Kane was distracted by the noisy chirping of cicadas, never expecting that it would be the last time he would see her. The strongest brave and the most perfect female surname, Vilvette finally wrote the last legend of her life on the night of the Red Rose, and on that day, at the cost of her life, she made herself the only immortal hero to rival the god of light, forever remembered by the humans of the God-given land.
Kane knew that if given a choice, Vilvette would rather not be a hero and live a few more years. She wasn't afraid of death, but she couldn't just die. She still has too many missions to accomplish that no one but her can do.
"No one can replace Vilvette, she is the best spokesperson for the God of Light. Or rather, she is the true god of light!"
"......" Angelina was silent, quietly looking at the frantic Kane.
"Isn't it? What do you see Emilia doing? Wings of Judgment? The strongest combat power of mankind? It's funny. It's just a walk in the Everfree Forest, but what is the result? All the people are sacrificed! The strongest combat power of the human race, all the people are sacrificed!
“......“
"Audrey didn't know if they were alive or dead, but she survived. What about the others but her?"
Kane's emotions grew more and more agitated, and the magical elements around him boiled over, and the chaotic air currents almost wrenched the windows.
"Emilia doesn't know......" Angelina replied in a whisper.
"I don't know? Forget it, don't cover it up for her, they must all be dead! Audley, and the Ten Knights, are all dead! And Amilia, she escaped by herself! As a brave man, she chose to flee from the battle? Hmph, if it weren't for your face, I wouldn't bother to care about her!"
"Hey, let's not mention it! I'm sad that Vilvette is dead, and Emilia is working on it, why don't you give her a little more time?"
"Hehe, seven years, it's been seven years!" ......Kane roared angrily, almost going into a rage, but when he turned his head and saw Angelina's big eyes glittering with tears, he stopped instantly, and all the rage turned into a helpless sigh and disappeared.
"I'm sorry. ”
"It doesn't matter. ”
“......”
Calming down, Kane closed the window, leaving Angelina alone and leaving the room by himself.
"Bring her to Hoag House another day, and I'm going to give her an exam myself, if she can't...... Hogg House has always been impartial! ”
"Hee-hee, what's the matter, hard-mouthed and soft-hearted guy~~~ If you can't even do her, then Hogg House will really be closed!" Angelina said with her little tongue out.
"Humph!"
Kane didn't look back, slamming the door and leaving.
============
Central City, High Street
Emilia and Edward are still tangling in the streets.
After seeing the purple hairpin, Emilia threw herself into Edward's arms.
"Hehe, want to grab it?"
Edward took a few quick steps back, dodging Emilia's pounce and touching Amilia's face in the way.
"Give it to me!" said Emilia anxiously.
"Nope. I only said that I wanted to help you find it, but I didn't say that I wanted to give it to you, whoever found it belonged to whom, this play should belong to me~~~ Hehe, I'm the Demon King, do what I say!"
“......”
Edward played with the hairpin in his hand with great interest, and he found that Emilia's big ruby eyes actually moved back and forth with his hand, and for a while, he was playful, and he held the hairpin and made a throwing motion, which frightened Emilia almost flew out.
Then, he opened his palm again, as if by magic, showing the small thing in his hand, and the angry Emilia jumped straight to her feet.
Why did he have that hairpin?
If it weren't for Emilia's obsession with shopping, he would have almost forgotten. After he was abandoned by the night, he found three things under a large tree.
A dagger, the White Moon, a pit daddan magic scroll to Central City, and another hairpin that Emilia cherishes.
Edward had seen her secretly playing with that hairpin several times before, and knew that it must be important to her, so he put it away, thinking that he would give it back to her again, but he forgot about it after a few days.
Only now did Edward remember.
"Demon King, give it to me!"
Seeing the original, Emilia couldn't keep calm, and wanted to snatch it from Edward, but after all, Edward was the Demon King, although he had no strength, but he was still the body of the Demon King, and now Emilia was like a little sister who wanted candy in front of him.
Even if she finds a substitute at the jewelry stall, it is still a substitute in the end. The attraction of the original to Emilia is unparalleled, and the little thing in Edward's palm, she is bound to get it!
But how could Edward simply grant her wish?
"Don't give. Edward said.
“...... Give it to me!"
"Please~~"
"Give me ......"
"Can't you hear, what do you say?"
"Please give it to me......"
Emilia's tone grew softer and softer each time, until at last, the faint voice could almost be called pleading.
Looking at Amilia's unwilling appearance as she clenched her teeth, Edward felt the thrill of defeating the brave. The Demon King has finally defeated the evil Brave! At this moment, Edward felt that he was too powerful as a Demon King.
Edward was complacent again at a small trifle.
So, how far has the Demon King fallen......
"Anyway, it's useless for me to keep this game, okay, I'll give it to you. Edward said indifferently.
"Great!"
"But you have to promise me one thing. Edward smiled harmlessly, "Work with me, Amilia." ”
“......”
"Oh, here you go, that stubborn look! Amelia, you know what, your eyes are really beautiful. ”
"Perverted!"
"Work with me, or I'm going to break this game, and I don't have a lot of strength, but I can still do it. ”
"You're threatening me?"
"No~yes~yes~" Edward pretended to inadvertently drop the hairpin on the ground, and then hurriedly picked it up, startling Emilia into a cold sweat, and her mischievous movements seemed to be making a final warning, "Is it really not good, can't it? Amilia, my brave man?"
“......”
Emilia trembled with anger, cold sweat broke out on her forehead, her expression was stiff, and she couldn't say a word. Her clenched fists were so hard that her nails were embedded in the flesh of her palms, and a few drops of blood dripped from between her fingers.
"Hey, it still doesn't work. Tut...... It's a hassle. ”
Seeing Emilia's stubborn appearance of not admitting defeat, Edward suddenly sighed, pursed his lips, and scratched his head depressedly, like a big boy who was rejected by his favorite object.
"Forget it, here you go. ”
Edward stopped teasing Emilia and happily threw the hairpin over.
And then ...... Farewell, my Brave One. ”
Edward said goodbye neatly.
Since Emilia is unwilling to cooperate, there is no place for him in Central City. He's the Demon King, and he must return to the Everfree Forest, because that's the only place where he really belongs. Although it is a long, long way to go from Central City to the Everfree Forest, you have to face countless spirit masters and guards.
But Edward doesn't care, he's the Demon King, and he does what he says.
"Huh?"
Emilia didn't expect Edward to suddenly change his attitude. She hurriedly took the hairpin and carefully wiped the dust off it. Soon, the breathtaking amethyst took on a gorgeous and dazzling beauty, and the crystal heart-shaped crystal seemed to be engraved with such a passage.
[Be happy - love your Vilvet]
Emilia silently lowered her head, she picked up the heart-shaped hairpin in her hand, closed her eyes, and showed a happy smile, the expression was pious and determined.
Then, she kissed it deeply.
"Mom, am I doing the right thing, if you can, please keep an eye on me......
The sunset at dusk was falling, and only the red clouds on the horizon were still reflecting the way home for the pedestrians who had not returned. Cheerful laughter came from the houses on the streets, and no one heard Emilia's innocent prayers.
She put away the hairpin and stopped Edward from the distance.
"Where are you going?"
"It doesn't matter to you where I go. Or do you want to find someone to arrest me to the Holy See? Then you have to move quickly, I won't wait for you to arrest me. ”
"......" Emilia hesitated for a long time, and finally said what she wanted to say, "Name?"
"What?"
It was too far away for Edward to hear Amilia.
"Your name?" said Amilia, approaching Edward, enduring the uneasiness in her heart, pretending to be nothing.
"Huh?"
"Demon King, you should have a name like me. Although the names of your demons may be difficult to hear, ...... It's not fair, isn't it? You know my name, but I don't know yours. ”
“......”
Amilia's remarks left Edward in a stupor.
"So...... What's your name?"
Emilia looked away, away from Edward's gaze. Against the backdrop of the burning clouds in the sky, her face seemed to have a little more charming flush.
"Oh, yes, I see. Edward smiled and replied, "My name is Edward, my dear Lord the Brave. ”
"Edward?"
"Why do you look surprised, what's the problem?"
Emilia's eyes made him very uncomfortable, and it was clearly the eyes of animals.
"I had a dog a few years ago and it was also called Edward. Emilia said lightly.
"Hey ......"
It's getting dark.
