Chapter 33 – Never Forget What Jim Just Said

Even until now, when the lecture was almost over and lunch was over, I couldn’t forget the feeling of the Demon King. I looked at the seat next to her, stroking her scented sweatshirt.

“… “

Yuri was seen taking notes while concentrating on her class. She was wearing a gray hoodie and sweatpants the same color as if she was trying to imitate the devil.

I didn’t see Yuri until the lecture started, so I thought Yuri wouldn’t come. But right after I started, she came in and sat down next to me while making eye contact with me and hers. She hasn’t looked at me or spoken to me since. Even when it was time for her to take a short break, Yuri left the classroom and she didn’t come back until the lecture started.

Last week I kicked a glass. Badly too. She must have known how bad it was for him to harass her in front of her restaurant and ask her to meet her. But I have no idea why she is doing this.

If she’s going to pretend she doesn’t know, she shouldn’t sit next to her. If you want to pretend to be friends again, talk to them.

“Okay, I’ll stop here for today.”

The professor standing in front of the podium finished the lecture. Then, her classmates muttered, “Thank you for your hard work,” And took their textbooks. I also organized the notes that I hadn’t written properly and put them in my bag.

I couldn’t concentrate on my studies because of Yuri sitting still without saying anything. If she knew it would be like this, she would rather have taken a break with the demon king.

“… Jiheon.”

Suddenly, Yuri called me from the side. I looked at her in surprise at the sound of her voice for the first time today. Yuri said she looked at me expressionlessly.

“Uh, huh?”

“… “

Yuri took her textbook in her bag without a word, as if she had never done it before. Her classmates, who had finished preparing to go out first, passed by this side and peeked at them once.

Feeling uneasy for some reason, I grabbed my bag and got up from my seat. But what happened was the same with Yuri.

She looked at me as she put on her bag. She opened her mouth as she looked into those eyes, not seeming to contain any emotion.

“See you tomorrow.”

After she finished speaking, Yuri immediately left her classroom.

Watching her walk away without answering her, I became more and more confused. I don’t know if he hates me or likes me.

Frowning at her confused situation, I left the classroom. Today, Monday, was difficult because there were lectures all morning, but from the afternoon, I was completely free. Feeling better at that thought, I left the school building with a smile.

As I left the entrance of the building, I saw the back of Yuri, whom I had parted with earlier. Unlike in her classroom, she had her hood tucked under her hood. But what surprised me was that the demon king was walking in front of the glass.

The Demon King was wearing the same black tracksuit he had seen in the morning. Like an unemployed man, he stuck his hands in the pockets of his coat and smiled brightly when he found me.

“Jiheon! Did the lecture go well!”

Yuri, who had been walking on her floor, turned her head towards her demon lord.

When I saw that scene, I thought something was wrong. She knew Yuri would turn as ferocious as the day he kicked her. It was obvious that at any moment she would rush at the demon king and show her fierce emotions.

Contrary to her expectations, Yuri lowered her head again and did not stop on her way. The demon king of hers only glanced at her for a moment, and then she quickly walked towards me again.

The demon king looked back at the glass he passed by and asked me a question with a curious expression.

“Isn’t that sleeping Yuri? You look darker than the last time I saw you. Could it be because of what happened last time?”

The last time she spoke, she meant I spread the truth about hype. But Yuri was like that because I was cold. Then, thinking of the screams she had heard on the emergency stairs, she felt depressed.

“No, that’s not it… “

“Then what is it? No way… !”

The demon king was worried and made a surprised expression.

“Could it be that you confessed to Yuri? Is that so?”

With a teasing tone, she took her hand out of her pocket and lightly tapped my chest.

It didn’t hurt or itch, but as if that fist made a loud noise, the answer came out before I knew it.

“Huh.”

“Of course it can’t be… What did you just say?”

“I confessed to Yuri.”

Hearing my answer with a sigh, she hardened her expression. The pale-faced demon king spoke in an anxious tone.

“That, yes. Confessed? Hmm! I just had to confess! I’ve liked you for so long, but you’ve finally expressed your feelings! Hmm!”

She smiled exaggeratedly and patted me on the chest again.

Puck!

“100 million!”

Unlike before, it was a fist with a lot of power. Contrary to the raised corners of his mouth, the demon king clenched his fists and continued.

“But don’t be too upset. Yuri lost you who loved her, but she lost someone who didn’t like you.”

I noticed something strange while rubbing my sore chest.

“This is the result of seven years of unrequited love, so don’t be disappointed. Yuri is also very depressed because she has lost her good ‘friend’ whom she has been close with for 7 years.”

I said to the demon king, who strangely emphasized the word friend.

“No, am I full of glass?”

“What? Didn’t you say you confessed?”

“I did, but it was full right away.”

Hearing this, she smiled brightly, her blue eyes shining. Then he slammed his fist into my chest again.

Baek!

“Ah! Hey!”

“Why didn’t you tell me that!”

He hit me so hard that I couldn’t breathe for a moment when I was hit.

Unlike me who frowned in pain, the demon king smiled brighter than before.

“So that’s what Yuri did! Ahahaha!”

Seeing the misfortune of others and laughing happily was literally the demon king. After laughing like that for a while, she opened her eyes again and asked.

“By the way, if you are full, why do you suffer? I understand that Yuri is having a hard time.”

“No, that… “

“Well, I kept that feeling for 7 years, but I can’t easily forget it. Hmm.”

The Demon King, who freely asked questions and consented, took his remaining left hand out of his pocket and placed both hands on his waist.

“Then Jim will make you forget that memory. In Jim’s own way.”

As soon as she heard those words, her heart skipped a beat. The blue eyes looking up at me were beautiful, but it was because I thought that the devil’s way was not normal.

Demon King was a person who usually thought winter was strawberry season. She said it was her own way, so it was clear that she wasn’t normal. She remembered that she said yesterday, isn’t it time for you to exercise together? She didn’t even know that maybe she worked out that way until she forgot her memory.

“I think you forgot already? No, I already forgot!”

“You don’t have to pretend to be strong in front of Jim! Hmm!”

After saying that, the demon king came and stood next to me. He didn’t stop there, jumped lightly and wrapped his arms around my head.

“Uh?”

As she hugged my head, her weight transferred to her neck. It was loaded with a weight that made it impossible to stand still, and I had no choice but to lower my head automatically.

I didn’t feel bad at first. It was because I could feel the soft skin through the fabric softener smell from the demon king’s clothes and sweatpants. But when she put strength on her arm, her pain began.

“Even you, a warrior, can’t do anything if your head is broken!”

“Aaaaagh!”

It was literally like a splitting head. I could feel a soft touch other than my arms on my face, but I had no time to leave the feeling. It was so painful that it would have been better if I had been hit by a car.

“Now, wait a minute, wait a minute! Stop!”

I tapped her forearm lightly as a sign of surrender. But the more I did, the more my head tightened.

“Why? Did you even remember something you didn’t remember?”

“Ugh! I remembered! I remembered!”

“Are you sure? Did you really remember? Wouldn’t that be a lie?”

“I really remembered! Release this!”

“Please release me, let me try.”

“Uh?”

Whoops!

“Aagh! Release it! Release it! Please!”

“I beg you this much, but I can’t help but let you go.”

As the demon king said that, he relaxed his arm wrapped around my head. After being freed, I knelt down on the asphalt floor and stroked my aching head.

“Ouch… It hurts!”

“Of course, isn’t it? You said you were sick.”

My heart pounding in the morning seemed like a lie. Back then, she was so cute and pretty, but now she looked like a demon who liked to bully people. To be precise, it was the Demon King.

As her former champion, I looked at her with her loathing for her demon lord.

“This… !”

“Oh, what would you do if you stared at me like that? Are you going to hit Jim?”

“… How can I hit someone so beautiful?”

If I still fight, I lose. They fought on an equal footing only in another world, but now the upper and lower structures were completely solidified.

After hearing my words, the demon king laughed heartily, as if he was satisfied.

“Uh haha! Isn’t Jim pretty! Haha!”

The demon king who had been laughing so suddenly lowered his body and grabbed my collar. His face heated up as I put it on his face as if we were going to kiss him. However, her pretty face like a doll passed my reddened face, and she whispered in my ear.

“But Jim prefers to be called pretty.”

“What… !”

Hearing that whisper, I fell backwards in surprise. The demon king, who let go of my collar before I fell, straightened his back again and looked down.

“Never forget what Jim just said. Got it?”

Seeing the demon king smiling mischievously with blue eyes, his heart pounded.

Calm down, heart… ! This is the woman who vomited in the bathroom of my room this morning… !! She said she was the one who put a headlock on me just a while ago… !!!

“How long are you going to be so self-absorbed?”

The demon king with a heart-pounding smile held out his hand to me. I felt ashamed to hold her hand for some reason, but I held her hand as I brushed the dirt off my pants from rubbing the floor.

“Laugh!”

With unladylike strength, she lifted me up easily.

“Thank you.”

I woke up, let go of the hand I was holding, and recalled the touch I had just felt. It was callused, but like a woman, it was a small, soft hand. Moreover, in the strength that aroused me, I felt a sense of reassurance that ordinary women do not have.

“What are you so bruised about?”

“Uh?”

The demon king pushed his face in front of me who couldn’t come to his senses. I involuntarily turned my head as the big blue eyes looked at me.

“Oh, no.”

“No, what is it? Have you ever had a crush on Jim?”

“Uh?”

Just as he was about to ask what he meant, the demon king turned around with his long silver hair waving. Because of that, I couldn’t see her expression. The Demon King, who turned his back to me, said in that state.

“It was just a joke.”

“Farming?”

“It’s just a joke.”

At this point, for a brief moment, it seemed that her ears were red. The moment I was about to take a closer look, the demon king turned around and looked at me.

“How long are you going to stand like that? Come on.”

I tried to look at her ears again, but I couldn’t because she was talking to me.

“If you don’t, it might blow or cool.”

“Boo, are you blowing?”

“Didn’t I tell you earlier? I will teach you Jim’s way.”

Come to think of it, she said something like that.

“Coincidentally Jim ordered that ‘method’.”

As the demon king said so, he joined hands with me.

“Come on. By the time it arrives, it will have arrived too.”

I was ashamed to hold hands again, and I was afraid of that way, so I asked.

“What, what is it?”

“That’s it. That… It’s tteokbokki.”

At the word tteokbokki, my thoughts hardened for a while. The way I thought was either die run, die get hit, or just die. But when I suddenly heard the word tteokbokki, I couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

When the demon king saw me like that, he pouted and said.

“Something. Do you not want to have lunch with Jim?”

Before I could answer, I looked into her ear. Between the silver hair that shimmered in platinum, the auricles were as white as the demon king’s skin. After all, she couldn’t be ashamed of making her ears red because of me.

Feeling somewhat disappointed, she said, thinking I’d have my way.

“Okay, let’s eat.”

“!”

At my answer, the demon king smiled again.
