Demon King and Hero

Volume 8 Chapter 6

[For those of you who haven't been here a while and can't remember what happened, a simple tl;dr for you.] [The Emperor and the Pope told the hero to go get the Demon King, but the hero got hard countered. Time passed and Demon King entered a covenant. The pissed off the Demon god and God of Light came to the human world. Then, chaos. Then, Chief God came down. Chief God got countered. Then, next neighbourhood's Creator Goddess came along. Then more chaos.]

One word tl;dr: chaos. Only the prologue's even remotely normal.

***

And so the historical moment of a dimension being abandoned by a god passed, and the hero made a serene face.

The hero emptied her mind. Similar to her trance-like state when she was practicing her sword skills, with eyes akin to a priest with no worldly desires, she faced her prosecutors.

"Hey, don't you turn to X when you poke kids with that expression?"

"Yes, maybe... The proof's right in front."

"Eh? What are you talking about?"

"N, nothing."

Raelle and the Demon God had messed with a God that had made that very same expression before and had certainly paid the price for it.

The Pope and Sermir thought for a long time, before looking on the Supreme God and said,

"Hm... But... What can we do."

"How should we do this?"

Then the Demon King stood up and said,
"I dare, to love her.(1)"
At the demon king's unexpected words, the surroundings went quiet. After a long period of silence, the Goddess looked at the Demon King pathetically.

"Oi, if a man sings that, then that song's ruined for the girl afterwards."

"Eh? When did I sing..."

"Or was it not a single song but a choral piece? Singing that song by parts..."

The Demon King couldn't understand the Goddess' words.
'Wait, before that, why did I say those words?'

Not having reached the world's enlightenment yet, the Demon King blushed and looked at the hero.

But.

"So what."

"Urk..."
The hero's eyes were still like a monk's and her face was expressionless.

"Sob... The hero's changed... What happened to my lovable hero!"

"My previous self is dead. After the gods came out, no, when the drips(2) started flying around!"

"How... how can love change like that!"

"Love? What's that?"

At the hero's frigid word, the Goddess was frantic.

"Hahhh... What's this, this is exciting! A drama's unfolding out before my eyes! A real drama!"

"Oi... you're a Chief God as well, so what's with the 'hahh, hahh.'"

"You pant when you play LoL as well, you know? Kyaa! Hero-nim is so cool! [Love? What's that?] We have a cold city girl descended!"

"You, just go."
Leaving the Chief God whose eyes started to turn saint-ish like the hero's, clenching sweaty hands, the Goddess said,

"Demon King! Get her! If you leave her annoyed like that, it's the end! Get her back and kiss her!"
Agreeing with the words that the hero shouldn't be left as she was, the Demon King grabbed her, and when he did.
"You dare!"
