Chapter 419: The Value of a Secret You Dont Want Known'
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Um can I talk to Mao-chan?You can, but it might be better not to. Given our earlier conversation, the Demon King should possess the memories of a girl named Mao. Therefore, she might pretend to be a frail girl and try to deceive you, Yuusha-sama, into helping her.
Thats But still, I want to talk to her.
Seeing the pleading look in Yutos eyes, Snail let out a small sigh. It would be easy to refuse, but it was clear that the young hero wouldnt be satisfied with that.
Very well, then.
In the end, Snail relented. Clutching the holy seal on his chest, he recited a sacred verse, and the cold air that had filled the surroundings regained its warmth, dissipating the silence barrier around Mao.
Mao-chan can you hear me?
Your voice!? Oh, I can hear you, Yuto.
Feeling the change, Yuto called out, and Mao slowly lifted her face to respond. Her voice, which should have been familiar, felt like that of a stranger to Yuto at that moment But, gathering his courage, Yuto continued to speak.
Mao-chan, um
Are you hurt? Has anyone done anything painful or unpleasant to you?
Eh!? Oh, no, Im fine
Thats good.
Youre worried about me?
Of course. Its only natural to worry about an important companion. Its so obvious I cant even think of a reason.
Mao-chan, are you the Demon King?
Yes, I am the Demon King.
Yutos gaze briefly shifted towards her limbs, and following his gaze, Mao resignedly muttered her affirmation. She hadnt expected to keep it hidden forever, but still, being seen in her true form as the Demon King by her beloved was not a pleasant feeling.
Did you deceive me? And everyone else?
Im sorry
She had only deceived Yuto, but revealing that could potentially disadvantage Ed, the real demon king, so Mao chose her words carefully. However, Yuto took it as an admission that she had been pretending to be Eds sister all along.
Due to the silence barrier, which prevented Mao from hearing the earlier conversation, a misunderstanding arose, and Yutos expression turned sorrowful.
Why How long?
From the beginning, perhaps?
So, the one who saved me was?
It was me. I couldnt stand seeing my beloved ahem, Yuto being attacked, so I impulsively jumped out. Though, I ended up tripping spectacularly, and it was actually Nii-sama who saved you.
Laughing cheerfully, Maos demeanor caused Yutos heart to return slightly But then, Snail, with a stern expression, interrupted.
Thats enough, Yuusha-sama. Any further and youll only be pained by the Demon Kings deceitful words.
Bishop!? But
Remember, I told you the Demon King would try to deceive you. By speaking with the hero in a girls voice, appearance, and thoughts she aims to make it difficult for you to strike her down. Or even worse, she might try to persuade you to let her go. But thats futile. Even if a young and inexperienced hero can be deceived, we are not.
Hmph, what are you? Interfering in our meeting out of jealousy? How shameful for an adult.
Hah, bravado. But its useless. We have a divine artifact that will awaken the heros eyes.
Mao said with a thin smile, but Snail remained unfazed. At his command, a large mirror, as tall as an adult, was brought in front of Mao.
This mirror, created by divine oracle, will expose the secrets you, the Demon King, wish to keep hidden in broad daylight! Now, Demon King, reveal your true, ugly nature to the hero!
What!? That is
God! Now is the time to reveal the truth before us!
Ignoring Maos panic, Snail raised his hands high and offered a prayer. Then, light streaked across the mirrors surface, revealing hidden pasts.
[Yawn so tired]
Huh?
Mao-chan?
In a room they had rented, the mirror showed Mao, in her usual attire, including a skirt, lying sloppily on the bed. Moreover, her hand slowly moved down and began to lift the hem of her skirt to scratch her bottom.
Yaaah!? Stop, dont look!
Wha, what!?
No, its not like that! At that moment, I was just a bit relaxed. Normally, I have a much more elegant and charming sleeping posture!
What is this!? Next! Next!
As Yuto turned his face away in embarrassment and Mao let out a scream like a squashed frog, Snail waved his hand again. The mirrors surface shimmered with light once more, revealing a new scene.
Its dark night? Ah, Mao-chan is sleeping?
Probably at night. Yuto tilted his head at the sight of Mao sleeping in the bed. But the next moment
FRRRRRT!
..
A muffled sound came from under the covers. After a few seconds of silence, Mao slightly lifted the blanket from her neck
[Ugh, stinks.]
KYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Kill me! Please, kill me! If you have even a shred of mercy, crack my head open right now and stop this illusion!
As Mao screamed in madness, trying to break free from her chains, the mirror mercilessly continued.
[Is this smell from the beans I ate for dinner?]
Um
This cant be! If thats the case Mirror! Show the secret the Demon King most wants to keep hidden! The absolute evil deed that must not be revealed!
The mirror shone brightly for the third time, revealing a new scene. This time, it was also a room they had rented
Is that the room I rented?
[Yuto? Are you there?]
As Yuto watched the scene with a tilted head, Mao knocked and entered the room. She looked around, then noticed Yutos clothes left on the bed.
[Hmm, Yuto left his clothes lying around again. Really, hes hopeless.]
Stop it! Please, stop! For the love of God, stop!
Silence, Demon King! Did you curse the heros belongings afterward?
Just go with that! Just stop the illusion already!
Ignoring Maos pleading voice, Snail continued, and the mirror showed Mao gently picking up Yutos clothes and bringing them close to her face and sniffing them.
[.sniff]
Eh? Why did Mao-chan sniff my clothes and laugh?
Yuto grimaced at the sight of Mao laughing with a slightly sickening expression. At that moment, Maos power finally broke through its limits.
Crack!
The chains of God!?
With a loud noise, the shining white chains were finally torn apart. Mao stood up, her hands and feet covered in dragon-like scales, and her dimly red hair swayed with the miasma emanating from her entire body.
Ill kill Ill knock all of you down!
Yikes!? You guys! Quickly seal the Demon King! Yuusha-sama, please lend us your strength!
Me!?
However, Yuto couldnt move at Snails words. The current Mao was terrifyingly different from when they were attacked by the beast There was a fear that absolutely must not be defied.
Im sorry. Its a bit too much for me
Damn it! Captain Degas! Do something!
What do you expect me to do against this!?
The roar of the Demon Kings soul echoed and a merciless storm of tyranny swept through the camp.
Mao! Yuto! Are you okay What is this
Wow, this is terrible
WOGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I didnt see anything. I didnt see anything
Sometime later, when Ed and Tia arrived to rescue the two children, what they found was a devastated campsite, Mao screaming triumphantly atop a pile of men, and Yuto sitting quietly beside her, hugging his knees.
