Loli Ojou

"Where is your horn, Ayame-chan?"

Even though Kuro was smiling, he was somewhat a little bit sad of the loss of her skin-colored horn. Truth be told, since he have met her, he wanted to touch it and feel it. It seemed soft, but he didn't know. Besides, it's not horn for nothing, so it should be tough, right?

"One of my servant used a disguise magic on me."

'No wonder she's in her child form.(17)'

'Loli Ojou... Loli Ojou... Loli Ojo... Loli Oj... Loli...(21)'

21 years old of soul me was chanting scarily. I knew it that this guy was crazy from the start.

"Then! Ayame-chan will stay here for someday...?"

Kuro asked to her, hoping that she will stay in this town with him, as long as it can be.

"Un."

She nodded, but maybe because it was her personality, or because Kuro purely didn't ask, she didn't say the period of her stays, or when she'll go back to her home.

Abut that didn't matter to Kuro, at least for now. What mattered is, she will stay here for some day. he couldn't be greedy even if he wanted to.

as Kuro stares to the space because he was thinking of something, Ojou did the similar and doze off. in some way, these 2 was similar, and maybe the type to scares the adult because they don't know what these 2 was thinking.

The time Kuro woke up from his thoughts, he couldn't help but feel the atmosphere between them awkward.

Taking an advice from 21, Kuro nodded lightly before tapping Ojou's shoulder which made her cancel her daze and looked over Kuro.

Kuro's face was serious, and it was like the end of world was closing and he wanted to tell Ojou's 1 final thing before the world ended. Keeping this same cold aura and serious face, her opened his mouth.

"Ojou..."

Because of how serious he seemed, Ayame couldn't help but lightly nods as the tinge bit of sweat traveled down her head.

"*Futon* ga *Futtonda!* (The futon has flew off)"

"Huh?"

The silence between the 2 broke as Kuro made an overwhelmingly bad pun.

but right after, Ayame's face alternated into something far more adorable, and as she moved her hand into her stomach, she laughed heavily as little bit of tears appeared at the corner of her eyes.

She tried to suppress her laughter but every seconds pass, the scene of Kuro telling her a bad pun just comes into her mind which makes her laugh more heavily.

She really needed more resistance toward the joke but Kuro didn't want her to change all 3 souls wanted her to stay as adorable as she was now.

'''Nailed it.(4)(17)(21)'''

-----

Not too far from Agrenoria but is actually really far from Agrenoria if measured by Earthling's Distance, was the Reign Empire.

and really close to Reign Empire but actually far, was the forest which existed 2 men facing each other.

The forest, couldn't be called a 'forest' anymore because most of the trees has withered, while some of the tree was gone to ash because they got involved with the 'spars' between the humanity's strongest knight and Virturan's strongest creature.

Demon King's power has far surpass Leon's but even so, it wasn't an easy battle for Demon King because the stronger the person became, the harder the fight will be.

as the 2 mans disappears from the spot, easily surpassing the speed of lightning, the demon King stops at the spots while Leon has swung his great sword toward him.

Sensing the Treiner, or rather, Maou, he stopped his sword with the hair breadth away from Maou.

"What's wrong? Treiner?"

"What time is it?"

The Demon King has came upon a great realisation that may eternally change the world but Leon couldn't figure it out so he checked the time using the remaining one arm he had. Unfortunately his rm was flown off during the spar but a little bit of sacrifice didn't hurt him that much.

as the time written, it was already 7:30 AM. They have been fighting for basically 1 days.

"CRAP MY SHIFT IS COMING AND I DON'T WANT TO BREAK MY NEVER-SKIPPED RECORD."

Yes. That was the world changing realisation Maou had: his work.

"I am sorry Leon. Let's stop here."

With a little of movement from Maou's hand, Leon's arm regenerated in a disgusting manner as the blood, bone, flesh which Leon thought gone, was reappearing. Judging from the feeling Leon had, it was a far stronger arm he had before.

"Tch. Could have strengthened all my body not just my arm."

Leon complained but at that time, Maou was already gone.

"𝕮𝖗𝖊𝖆𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓 𝖆𝖋𝖙𝖊𝖗 𝖙𝖍𝖊 𝖉𝖊𝖘𝖙𝖗𝖚𝖈𝖙𝖎𝖔𝖓"

Maou who was moving at the speed that far surpassed the neutron stars rotation, muttered something that maybe he can mutters.

At the same time, in contrast of the red mana he usually emitted, a faint of shimmering green light entered the mana orbs which exploded up high in the sky which flew down to the entire supposedly destroyed forest, as if snowing the entire lands.

As the green with a tinge of red mana dust touches the destroyed land, the supposedly destroyed nature has continued to grow on speed visible with eyes. The nature that was predicted to take 1,000 years to regrown back, had completely regrow in an instant with a single mutter from the Demon King.

He must have unconsciously did it as his brilliant mind calculated the loss toward him if the forest was truly destroyed. Makdonald's buns was made from the nature even though the recipe of it was secret, and the meat was also grown by the nature.

If he actually destroyed that nature, as the employees of Makdonald, he can't bear the losses. At worst case, he may get fired.

That was how Maou became the Employee of the day... If someone actually noticed his acts.

-----

The awkwardness between the 2 has lessened but the silence still remained. First of all, Nakiri Ayame wasn't the aggressive type, she was more of an defensive type. The type that'll wait for person to talks to her.

Although she will begin the conversation from her side from time to time, the chance of it happening was rarer judging from her personality to unconsciously doze off.

"Ayame-chan, can you teach me the language of your Nakiri Town?"

it's true that the languages she speaks is Maoul but, it was also a little bit different from Maoul. If the example was made, it was the Kansai dialect of Japanese. Her language is also one of Maoul but it isn't fully Maoul.

Come to think of it, the language he learnt before, Nekongue was also similar. One day he would like to take a visit to Nekomata Clan.

"Iiyo!(that's okay!)"

She even seemed happy over Kuro's desires to learn her town's language.
