Chapter 24: The Demon King's Oath and Card Issuance

Central City, High Street.

Edward suddenly sneezed.

"Ah......h Damn, who's scolding me behind my back?"

Edward was furious.

He doesn't care that someone says bad things about him behind his back, he cares about the delicious food that falls to the ground. As a result of this untimely sneeze, one of the two ice cream balls he had just bought accidentally fell to the ground and fell into dough.

Edward was distressed, and looked at the mud-stained ice cream balls on the ground with a sad face.

Losing his strength, he followed the brave man on foot through the Endless Forest, either eating bitter wild fruits or nibbling wild vegetables every day. Even though Emilia often hunted and got some wild boar or something for him to eat, Emilia's craftsmanship was really not flattering, and she didn't ask how delicious it was, and he was thankful that he could cook the meat, and he was so inhuman during that time.

Although he wasn't originally human......

And now, he followed Emilia east and west, and walked around the shopping street all morning under the hot sun, and finally waited for the lunch break. Emilia casually found a restaurant to solve the lunch problem, while Edward asked for a few copper coins from Emilia, ran to the dessert shop to buy some ice cream balls, and ate them to his heart's content.

There's no way, how can he have human currency? In the past, the demon king could directly find an unlucky guy and snatch the money from him, but now, ...... I can only ask for Emilia.

Otherwise, why don't you let Edward rob the children?

House of the Resurrected, that's the name of that dessert shop. It is said that a dying man ate their dessert and came back to life, hence the name "House of the Resurrected". Despite its scary name, the desserts inside are full of sincerity, from sweet and delicious cakes to the famous ice cream ball, the Brain of the Reborn.

Created by four royal pastry chefs, after seven production processes, three magic bombardments, all handmade, all-natural cream ice cream - the brain of the resurrected. Not only do the four pastry chefs make delicious cakes and ice cream, but they are also all magicians above level 4.

The unique craftsmanship of the Resurrected House is the source of the deliciousness of the House of the Resurrected!

Edward's money was only enough to buy two Resurrection Brains. The shopkeeper noticed his heavy dark circles and somehow gave him another one. This made Edward depressed, and he still remembered the shopkeeper's pitying eyes.

"House of the Reborn...... I remembered, I'll be sure to buy a few more next time. Edward ate the last ball of ice cream and licked his lips in a hurry.

"I didn't expect the Demon King to be so naΓ―ve, and he still likes to eat ice cream eaten by children. Emilia tilted her head and glanced at him, her tone revealing disdain.

"Uh......"

Edward was slightly surprised.

In my impression, Emilia has never had any other expression except for her expressionless indifference, let alone taking the initiative to tease Edward. It was rare to be complained about by Emilia, and Edward didn't react for a while.

"It's ridiculous. Emilia added.

"I can't imagine that the brave man loves beauty so much, and he also likes the jewelry worn by the little girl. Gee. ”

β€œ......”

"It's not funny at all. Edward added.

β€œ......”

was brutally rebuffed, and Emilia was speechless.

"Perverted, don't come along!" Emilia quickly distanced herself from him.

"Hey, you're pretending to have amnesia again?"

β€œ......”

"You're rubbing salt in my wounds. People like me who really have amnesia are going to be very sad. ”

"I don't know you!"

"You just called me the Demon King...... Hey, Amilia, work with me. I promise you anything. ”

"You, if you come back again, I'll kill you!"

"Why bother, Amilia, you don't want to kill me at all, unlike other humans, and unlike Audrey, you don't hate demons, you don't hate me, am I right?"

β€œ......”

Emilia stopped suddenly.

"You've had countless chances to kill me, but you've never done it. I won't ask what swayed you, but I know you're not hostile to demons, are you?" said Edward confidently.

"Self-righteous guy. ”

"No, no, no~~" Edward shook his fingers, "It's useless to quibble! As a brave man, you haven't learned the disguise that humans are best at." You can't fool me, don't forget, I'm a demon king, although I have amnesia, I don't have any power, I'm simply the weakest demon king in history, but I'm not useless. ”

Edward carefully tasted what he had said, and noticed that something sad had mixed in.

It's not useless, is it?

Edward was complacent about this. Even he himself felt pathetic.

How far has that once omnipotent demon king fallen? It's too miserable......

"So?" said Emilia frowned.

"In this way, our barriers are gone. Edward laughed and said, "I know you don't want to kill me." As for myself...... I've lost my memory, and I'm not going to be your enemy. The first step in cooperation is mutual trust, and we've done that, right? So ......."

"Hmph, whatever you want. ”

Even though she was unable to refute Edward's claims, she still did not intend to work with Edward. The more Edward spoke, the more Emilia resisted, and the stubborn brave man didn't seem to be willing to admit defeat and bow to the Demon King.

This was quite a headache for Edward.

Emilia didn't look back, and continued down the street.

"Eh, you still have to go shopping......"

Edward sighed helplessly and hurriedly chased after him.

Shopping, as a woman's racial talent, is too powerful, so that Edward, surnamed Xiong, is amazed and ashamed. After walking a few blocks, his legs began to complain, and he became more and more disobedient, but Emilia was completely different, the more courageous she became, the faster she walked, and she looked like she would not stop walking the whole Central City.

The midsummer gives all things vitality and enthusiasm, and the scorching heat of the afternoon scorches the earth, and the hot heat fills the whole city, so hot that people almost give up their breath. But most people don't let this dampen their enthusiasm for shopping, and the busy shopping streets are bustling with people, picking out their favorite products and buying delicious food and fruit.

Emilia is one of them.

If it weren't for the fact that the merchants had gracefully received the coins from their customers, Edward would have thought that today was a human festival, and all goods would have been given away for free.

It's too unfrugal to spit out the serum warehouse or something......

What Emilia wanted to buy was a small hairpin, a purple heart-shaped hairpin. There are many products that meet this condition, and it is not uncommon, but Emilia has never found a favorite hairpin.

Seeing that it was getting dark, the sparse pedestrians on the street returned home with happy smiles and dinner with their loved ones, and the merchants also cleaned up their stalls and shook their money bags with satisfaction. The crisp sound of the rattle proves that their hard work has not been in vain.

The twilight sun shone on Emilia's body, pulling a long shadow, and Edward knew that the weak back was not as strong as she had imagined. She is still rushing to the next street, but the merchants have already closed their stalls and left, where can they buy cards?

Emilia ignored it and walked forward.

Edward could vaguely see something dripping from her jaw.

"That's enough, let's go back. Edward said.

"Can't find ...... Can't find ......"

Emilia lost her soul, babbling nonsense, and subconsciously walked forward, as if something terrible would happen once she stopped.

"Are you looking for that little purple hairpin? Maybe it's been lost in the Everfree Forest. ”

Edward remembered the purple hairpin. He noticed that Emilia was very fond of the purple hairpin, and often played with it secretly when she was resting alone, avoiding Edward's gaze.

Lately, however, he hadn't seen Emilia pull out the hairpin for a long time. Presumably, he must have been accidentally left in the Endless Forest when he was ambushed. That's why she went shopping frantically, trying to buy another hairpin that was exactly the same.

"Hey, if you lose it in the forest, it's almost impossible to get it back. Is that thing important to you?"

"Hmm......" Emilia agreed, dejected.

"You probably bought that thing yourself...... Who gave it to you?"

β€œ......”

Emilia looked at Edward warily and did not answer his question.

"Brave man, tell me~~ If you tell me, I'll be able to find it for you right away!"

"What are you kidding?

"I promise!"

β€œ......”

"I'm a demon king, do what I say!"

Her hair was hanging down and her face was obscured, and Edward couldn't see her expression, only her red eyes, faintly visible through her jet-black hair.

Edward raised his left hand to the sky and placed the palm of his right hand on his chest, swearing to the god of light.

"I, Edward, swear that if you tell me who gave you the hairpin, I'll help you find it!"

Edward didn't know if this was the right gesture, and he didn't know that as a demon king, his oath to the god of light would work, but in short, Emilia seemed to believe Edward's words.

"It's my mother......," Emilia whispered.

"Your mother, what's her name?"

Edward suddenly remembered something and asked anxiously.

"Vilvette ......"

"What? Vivette, the previous generation of brave people turned out to be your mother?"

"Hmmm......"

Vilvette, he remembered the name when Emilia said it. Vilvette, the brave of the previous generation, was an excellent and unseemly woman, and she could not be described in words. With the beauty of the sunken fish and the wild goose, the gentle surname like water, the unparalleled wisdom, the courage of one enemy and a hundred, and the power to destroy the world, she is simply the most perfect female surname in the world, the most outstanding human being, and the most powerful brave.

Although Edward remembered Vivette's identity for a moment, he did not know that Emilia was actually Vivette's daughter, and he was speechless in surprise for a while.

"I'm really an idiot to expect from the Demon King......"

Emilia sighed.

She saw Edward's stupid look in her eyes, no matter how she looked at it, he was just playing with her. The little hope that had just been ignited was dashed in an instant, and she was all lost.

"Uh, sorry...... I will keep my vows. Edward fumbled inside his clothes, then pulled out a purple heart-shaped hairpin.

"Hey, that's the hairpin you're looking for, right?"

"Ahh

"Hehe, I'm the Demon King, do it!"

Emilia cried out, bending over so she could get a closer look at the hairpin in Edward's hand. After making sure that it was what she was looking for, she stared at Edward's hand tightly, her burning gaze terrifying, as if she wanted to eat Edward's hand and even the bones of the belt.

In the next second, she threw herself into Edward's arms.
