Chapter 44 – My Heart Beats the Most When I’m With You

“Isn’t Yuri sending it?”

“What?”

I looked at the demon king who said something unexpected. She was looking up at me with a serious expression on her face. What surprised me was that this photo itself was there, but the Demon King noticed that Yuri was following me.

“Did you know?”

“Then you didn’t know?”

Rather, the demon king asked strangely.

“Hasn’t Yuri followed you for several days? Could it be that she really didn’t know?”

“I didn’t know you knew!”

“Jim thought you were deliberately pretending not to know. Give it to me.”

She said that to the Demon King and took her picture. Holding her edges with her fingertips only to keep her fingerprints out, she picked up her envelope in the same way and put her paper in it.

“What are you doing?”

“Of course, isn’t it? You should turn it in to the police. Look back a little later.”

“Are you going to report it?”

While saying that, once she told me to, I showed her her back. The demon king opened my bag and put a letter in it.

“Isn’t it natural? I’ve been just following you until now, but you sent me a letter like this. I’m sure it won’t end with just a letter, so I’ll have to gather evidence beforehand. I put everything in.”

The demon king zipped up the zipper and lightly tapped the bag. Turning her body to look at her again, the Demon King raised her hands to cover her face.

I was taken aback by the fact that he seemed to be crying.

“Hey, are you crying?”

“Peekaboo!”

Suddenly she played her tricks. Like a flower in full bloom, I removed her hands and showed me her smile.

It was cute and lovely, so I laughed. But it was a rather strange attitude for receiving such a letter.

“What, what are you doing?”

“Because you seem too nervous.”

The demon king weakly hit my chest.

“Don’t be too nervous. If you think deeply, you can’t do anything. The rest of us will talk as we go.”

The demon king and I went out through the doorway of the building and headed for the school. She smiled lightly and was walking towards her. She was caught off guard at her usual appearance, but the demon king asked her without turning her head.

“What do you want to do?”

“What?”

“I asked what you want to do with Yuri. Do you want to turn it over to the police? Or will you take care of Tyler.”

“Well, I don’t know.”

“I don’t want to hear such an indecisive answer. Come on answer Will you turn it over to the police? Or are you going to do it on your own?”

“No, do I have to decide on that already?”

“Of course.”

The demon king stopped her and looked at me with a serious face. She continued her words with a face that seemed unfamiliar.

“Insanity is accelerating. For a few days, I stopped following, and today I sent a letter like this. That means you never know when they’ll attack you. Well, it could hit Jim too, but I mean.”

After she finished her words, she started walking again. I walked along and asked in a hurried voice.

“Are you going to attack me too?”

“That’s right. Didn’t you take a picture of your luggage? If the purpose was you, it would have been filmed when you were alone. Judging by the scabbard, there’s a good chance it’ll attack you first.”

“Me?”

“Don’t worry too much. If you fight, don’t you win?”

“No, I win if we fight! That’s not the problem!”

Unbeknownst to me, my voice rose. But this was unavoidable. It makes me dizzy that the person I liked became my stalker, but the thought that she might attack me or her demon lord gave me a headache.

Even after seeing my reaction, the demon king smiled. Rather, he lifted his tiptoe and stroked my hair.

“Right, right, truly.”

I felt a little bit of warmth as they gently caressed my hair. I almost fell in feeling good about the warmth, and I hurriedly pulled my hair out of the comfortable trap.

“What are you doing!”

“You’re just calming down because you’re so excited?”

“No, am I a child?”

“In Jim’s eyes, he’s like a baby. The way you get angry without being able to think calmly. How is that different from what a child does?”

She was right. Getting excited here was just a waste of emotion. What to do now was more important than being angry unconditionally.

When my head cooled down like that, I apologized to the Demon King.

“Sorry, I was too excited.”

“It’s okay. Ruler. Right, right.”

The demon king raised his hand again and tried to stroke my hair. But I immediately stepped back from her and challenged her.

“What are you doing again this time!”

“What is it? I want to reward you for doing the right thing.”

“If you’re going to give me a reward, give me money!”

“Are you the kind of person who puts money before your heart?”

“No it’s not!?”

“Then I’m glad. Let’s finish walking for now.”

We started walking towards the school again, and the demon king continued the conversation in a lively voice as usual.

“I will ask again. What do you want to do with Yuri? Are you going to call the police, or are you going to take care of it on your own?”

“Hmm… “

I was lost in thought as I walked. The conclusion I came to after thinking about it for a little over a minute was simple.

“I think it would be better not to report it.”

“Hmm? Why? Surely, it’s not because you couldn’t forget your first love, right?”

“What are you talking about.”

I walked away and looked at the demon king. But she was walking with her head turned the other way, not wanting to show her face.

She didn’t look at me and was talking to her.

“Tell me, is it because you don’t want to embarrass Yuri, your first love?”

The voice I heard at this time seemed to be talking lively on purpose. Especially when he mentioned Yuri’s name, his voice trembled a little.

But I didn’t care about that and answered.

“Well, that’s roughly correct.”

“… Is it. Then”

“Listen to the end.”

I cut off the story of the demon king who seemed disappointed and started talking.

“Even though she is my first love, she was a friend I had known for years before that. Besides, I’ve met his parents and I know them. When things get big, even their parents get in trouble. Besides, her heart doesn’t tremble when she thinks of Yuri anymore. Rather… “

I almost said that my heart beats the most when I am with you. I barely said this, but the demon king turned his head with a smirk.

“Rather? Rather, what do you want to say next?”

“Nothing.”

“Ah, it’s nothing, isn’t it? Come on, tell me.”

“Because it’s nothing!”

“That’s true! OK! Okay! I’ll keep it a secret, so just tell Jim a little bit.”

After saying that, the demon king opened his silver hair and pointed his white ears at me. I walked one step away from there.

“What does that mean only to you!”

“Something, then, do you want to brag about it to everyone in the world? You say you’re most excited when you’re with Jim? You mean that?”

“You didn’t do that?”

“Are you roughly right?”

The Demon King, who succeeded in the judo newspaper, smiled at me and looked at me happily. I hurriedly changed the subject because I felt like I had been caught.

“By the way! I will finish with my line!”

“Well, let’s move on to that.”

Saying that, she put on a satisfied expression. And she looked back at me and smiled confidently.

“Crossing your line?”

“Okay!”

“That’s the correct answer, alchemist!”

“… What is that?”

At my answer, the demon king opened his eyes wide and put on a shocked expression.

“Something! Haven’t you seen the ‘Lecture’? How pitiful you are for not knowing the beauty of ‘lecture’.”

“Noisy, tell me why the answer is correct.”

“Ah, is that what you mean?”

The Demon King stretched out his index finger and began to explain.

“So far, what Yuri has done is just tailing and voyeuring. The police can’t just punish you for something like that.”

“So you’re saying there’s no point in calling the police?”

“Yes. On the other hand, if she harms us directly, she will be punished. Well, if we don’t get hurt, it’ll just end with a frenzy.”

“What kind of law is that?”

“It can’t be helped. Evil law is also legal. Now the problem is how to convince Yuri.”

She put her hands in the pockets of her sweatpants and walked away looking slovenly. Then she continued with her gaze still in front of her.

“Have you talked to Yuri lately?”

“No. Ignore what I’m trying to say Or don’t even look.”

“Jim has heard that lectures come regularly, is that true?”

“It’s not like that. You always come and sit next to me, no, how did you know that?”

“Are you ignoring Jim?”

The Demon King frowned and looked up at me.

“Although Jim has no friends, he has eyes to see and ears to hear. Well, it’s nothing more than eavesdropping on conversations that other people are talking about.”

Looking ahead again, I felt something uneasy about her words as she walked.

“Wait for a sec. Why don’t you have any friends? Aren’t I your friend?”

“What?”

Hearing my words, she stopped her steps, frowning more than before. Then, she glared at me terribly when I stopped at the same time.

“Did you consider Jim a friend?”

“Wasn’t it?”

“Of course not!”

We hung out together and ate together, but we weren’t friends. She came as a pretty big shock.

The demon king made a surprised expression as if he saw my shocked face.

“No! Although Jim and you are friends! I didn’t mean to be friends!”

“So you were just an acquaintance?”

“Not even that! Great!”

Suddenly, she raised her hand and grabbed me by the collar. She pulled her hand with great force, making her bend over me, forcing her blue eyes to meet. The Demon King let out her strange power and asked her.

“Do you want to hear what kind of relationship Jim and you really have?”

“… No.”

“Heh. It’s a bit unfortunate, but,”

She ended up saying respectful words at the strange force. But as if she was satisfied with that, she untied her hand and let me go.

“Let’s finish this story next time. Anyway, hey. Do you know roughly when Yuri will come?”

“Roughly, he came a few minutes before the lecture started. Always.”

“Is it? Then there is nothing you can do.”

“What can’t you do?”

“You speak.”

“Why am I?”

The demon king looked at me.

“I guess I should get out of here at least once.”

“What. Lecture?”

“Shouldn’t we dig a trap?”

On the corner of her mouth as she spat out her last words, the smile she used to play with me hung.

Contrary to what the demon king said earlier, I sat in the classroom today and waited for the lecture to begin. If there was one thing that was different from usual, it was that the demon king, not Yuri, was sitting next to me.

“What. Why is that old man here?”

“Are you two dating?”

“Isn’t it strange that we’re dating?”

Even after hearing the muttering of questions, the Demon King shamelessly maintained his seat.

I asked her in a low voice so that the people around her couldn’t hear her.

“No, are you really going to stay here until the lecture starts?”

“Of course, isn’t it? You said Yuri would come a few minutes after the lecture started.”

“I did, but then what about your lecture?”

“I have to leave, what should I do? Instead, you fall too. I have to catch you too.”

“This is my major!”

“Jim is also a major in lectures!”

While arguing in a low voice, someone opened the door and entered the classroom. I thought it was the professor, but the person who entered was Yuri, not the professor.

“Uh?”

Wearing jeans and a loose hoodie, Yuri saw the Demon King sitting next to me and stopped him. The demon king turned her head toward Yuri who had just entered, and her eyes met.

“Ac!”

After looking at the demon king’s blue eyes for a moment, she quickly turned around and ran out of the classroom. When we saw that, we immediately got up and ran after Yuri.

We came out of her hallway and ran to where she was heading. In addition to her frequent workouts, we could easily catch up with Yuri as she is a former warrior and a former demon king.

“Yuri! Wait for a sec!”

I tried to stop the running Yuri first. Unexpectedly, however, she stopped running, and she looked at us with heavy breathing for a moment.

“Yuri. Let’s talk for a minute.”

“Right. I’m just talking Calm down.”

“… Sorry!”

After shouting that, Yuri suddenly lifted her leg and kicked her between my crotch.

Fuck!

“… Uh-huh.”

I couldn’t even scream properly and collapsed from the pain that seemed like my intestines would burst out.

“Sorry! Jiheon!”

While I fell between her crotches, Yuri started to run away again.

“You!”

The demon king chased after the glass again, and she raised her hands above her head to form her circle. No, that’s not it, she crossed her fingers in a gesture reminiscent of her eight-cylinder engine.
“I will remember!”

I didn’t have much to say to her as she ran while copying an action movie.

“Quick, go… Catch or break… !”
