Chapter 18 – Mental Preparation (2)
“I’m having a hard time…”
I must have paid a lot of attention, so I could see pure white hair extending down to my waist, with not a single hair visible.
As if she wanted to show that she was having a hard time, she lowered her head and her beautiful hair was slightly flowing.
“Hey~ I’m having a hard time~”
Her high nose and slightly slanted eyes made her large eyes look more attractive.
It was a familiar face.
“Me! Power!..”
As if she didn’t like how I had ignored her in the past, she opened her reddish lips wide and tried to scream with all her might, but then I stopped her.
“Let’s take a break”
“Yes”
The Demon King stood up silently as if he had heard an answer he liked, and I closed my book and followed him.
After leaving the library, the group of people sitting and watching from a distance began to whisper quietly.
He probably didn’t like the devil talking recklessly in the library.
Demon King
(···)
The Demon King’s status window did not show a single reaction from the moment the past was recorded until the moment he walked down the hallway.
It was different from the warrior who always showed even the slightest reaction to my actions.
She hinted to the goddess if the status window was broken, but she replied that the goddess was unresponsive because she had nothing to express the devil’s feelings.
As the Demon King and I passed through the hallway, the surrounding students started whispering.
Some were criticizing, some were envious, and some were whispering about whether it was a trend.
I finally realized that the people who were whispering in the library weren’t just whispering because they were noisy.
It was clear that the Demon King knew everything, but she showed no reaction.
The place the Demon King and I went to in the past was a small garden under a large wall.
They seemed familiar and headed to the bench inside the garden.
“Ah… It’s hard.”
“What will you do for afternoon classes?”
“Um… I just want to stay”
“Yes”
When the devil said that I would not sit down on the bench and attend class, I agreed as if I was used to it and moved on.
It didn’t seem like we’d had this conversation once or twice.
‘Jiing···’
“Ah… Are you dad?”
She took out a small, shaking object from one side of her cloth.
It was a small bead.
She spoke naturally into a ball the size of her fist.
“Yes, Dad”
[Daughter, what are you doing instead of going to class?]
“Rest”
At first glance, it seemed to be a conversation between a father who was worried about his daughter and a daughter, but the kind voice coming from the bead was the devil who wanted to rule the world, and the person touching the bead as if she was bothered was the devil’s daughter.
These were ordinary conversations that, if you didn’t know and listened to them, would have been similar to an ordinary conversation between a father and daughter.
There was a slight change in her status window as if there was a reaction to the conversation with her father.
Demon King
(···Ah)
One letter increased.
It was so absurd that I burst out laughing.
*
Consciousness popped out.
‘···Isn’t this a problem?’
[···I will display it in more detail.]
The goddess, who had only given macro-type replies that she was normal to the continued malfunction, has now decided to accept her complaints.
From what I had seen of them so far, they looked peaceful, so I thought there wouldn’t be much gain.
The next scene was the school duel competition.
In a large stadium, the only opponents facing a group of five or six people were the Demon King and me.
The two teams were facing each other and only exchanging glances.
I recalled memories I had seen before. Usually, most people followed the strategy planned by each team, but they did not make any special moves.
After some time had passed, a woman who appeared to be the leader of the group came forward a little and gave me an intense look.
The slight frown as if disdainful was not a favorable gaze.
“Ugh… I’m abstaining!”
The audience was agitated, but the Demon King still spoke to me with a calm expression.
“Luckily he abstained?”
“That’s right. “I can’t believe I won so easily.”
“Ah… I’m tired”
“Congratulations. “Please leave now.”
The person from her past led her out of the stadium, entangled in her arm.
I watched the Demon King’s status window from the beginning to the end of this scene, but the current situation was strange.
The goddess also changed her status window to show more details, but she said she didn’t know about it.
Demon King
(@&%$*@%#&)
The text in the status window looked strange, as if the letters were broken.
I lost consciousness again.
*
Scenes passed without any special events.
The goddess said that she had made it without any problems and also showed the status window of the other characters.
(Former) Demon King
(When will my daughter show cuteness? Still, she’s cute… XX, that bastard…)
The Demon King was an ordinary father.
In the end, the name was not visible. It was definitely my curse.
There was no problem with the goddess’s abilities. So, is the Demon King strange?
If? I watched the Demon King in silence, but nothing much happened, and before I knew it, it was the Demon King and I’s wedding.
“···Over there… XX···”
“···Finally my dream has come true…”
“···Yes”
With her resigned expression, I kissed her and exchanged her rings.
Unlike in Hyundai where she showed her rich expressions, she smiled happily with a rare facial expression.
Only after she smiled happily did a change appear in her status window, which had not shown any reaction.
Demon King
(Happy♥)
It even included special characters. She could see how happy she was.
I haven’t yet seen the records of her past activities without my knowledge.
As I recalled what had happened so far, I didn’t think she would react in any particular way.
Finally, my consciousness burst out, and I returned to where the goddess was.
The goddess appeared to be fidgeting as if she was uncomfortable somewhere.
[···]
“···Something is strange… It doesn’t make sense that he only showed a happy reaction at the end.”
[···Actually, there is one thing I didn’t tell you…]
“What?”
[That is…]
There was a reason why the goddess reacted restlessly.
It turns out that she made some adjustments out of consideration for me, who was shocked by the hero’s status window.
[···If the status window is excessively displayed, the text may not be displayed properly or may not respond properly···]
The hero reacted normally at first, but as he became more and more attracted to me, he reacted tremendously.
If you think about it, the more anxious the warrior appeared, the more anxious his psychological state was displayed in the status window.
When the warrior’s obsession and love for me was at its greatest, he showed an explosive reaction that completely obscured my vision, and I was greatly shocked.
“What…”
Is this nonsense?
The warrior started out ordinary, and only towards the end did her dirty and dark heart come to light.
But the Demon King had no reaction from the beginning.
She reflected the request to reveal more details, and the spiral letters began to appear broken.
If so…
[···]
“···”
Even though the goddess could read my thoughts, she said nothing.
My doubts grew more and more, and in the end, I had to open Pandora’s box with my own hands, a box containing five lusts that should not be opened.
Otherwise, it may be difficult to deal with Baek Ga-eun’s behavior in the future because we cannot know her way of thinking.
“···Please, show me again”
[···Yes]
The goddess paused for a moment, as if she was adjusting her abilities, and then reached out to me.
Let’s look at the Demon King’s past records once again. This time it’s an uncut version…
Consciousness was lost.

“I’m having a hard time…”
When I opened my eyes, it was a familiar place.
It was the school library that the Demon King and I attended when we were children.
Because the status window had not been turned on yet, the devil’s psychological state was not visible.
For a moment, I remembered the past of a warrior who left behind strong memories.
When I thought about that time, my heart started beating quickly and my breathing became short.
Desperately calming my mind, I closed my eyes and activated the Demon Lord’s status window.
‘···Status window!’
“Hey~ I’m having a hard time~”
I heard the familiar voice of the devil.
When I carefully opened my eyes, I could not see the devil.
No, I couldn’t see anything.
When I looked closely, I saw something procrastinating.
···Fuck
The status window that filled my field of vision was constantly being updated.
Her quick passage of type showed how much she was thinking.
(It’s cute, it’s adorable, I want to pinch it, I love it, tell me I love you too, I want to lick its ears, I want to bite its lips, that bitch looked here, I want to pull out her hair, I want to suck her tongue, I want to lick her eyes, I want to lock her up and raise her, there’s trash, I want to bite your fingers, I want to grab your hair and hit you, I’m pregnant…)
The constantly updated status window was filled with her desires.
The curses that appear at first glance are clearly her thoughts about those who curse her and me.
The story was that the entire time she was with me, she was constantly spewing out thoughts that were difficult to put into words.
‘Wow…’
I felt disgusted that someone was around me with these thoughts about me.
I was out of breath and dizzy. I lost consciousness due to the overwhelming feeling of nausea.
“Heo-eok… Heo-eok…”
[···]
The goddess touched me with her warm light without saying a word.
As her light reached me, my condition got a little better.
When I close my eyes, I feel like I can see the devil’s ugly desires stirring, so I deliberately open my eyes.
[···Are you okay?]
“Haa…”
She couldn’t answer the goddess’ question if she was okay and just held her breath.
The light filling the ceiling seemed to erase dark thoughts.
With difficulty, I turned my body over and looked at the ceiling with blurry focus.
It was only once.
For a very brief moment, I looked at the Demon King’s status window without any corrections, and at that moment, I looked directly into the Demon King’s heart.
To be precise, what I saw was only a part of what she thought.
···I lost confidence.
