When I heard that the ...... heroes were in the cramped room, I rushed over to find them, but what are you guys doing?

　The old man, with a dumbfounded expression on his face, muttered that with a look of weakness.

''Sorry, my lord, ......''

No, no, I'm sorry, really.

　It's a good idea to have a good time with them.

...... well, I know you guys are good friends. But the brave man is a man of his position. You should be a little more careful about your behavior in public.

"Yes, you're right. I'm really sorry to have bothered you with my usual tone .......

　It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of it.

...... and Yuki-dono should look around a little more. It's a matter of when and how freely you can behave in human society. If you're going to marry Nell, you should learn more about humans. ...... It's a funny feeling to say this to the Demon King: ......

"Hey, hey. I'll be diligent.

　I'm a former human being, so I should know about human society. .......

　--It's a good thing that you're able to get the most out of your time with the help of a good friend.

　You will be able to get the most out of it.　Huh? And while I was confused, not only with me but also with Nell, we were taken directly to the guard station.

　Later I heard that the surrounding townspeople, who had seen us, said, "A brave man has drawn his holy sword and is chasing after a stranger! What a misunderstanding, and reported it to the police.

　The game of tag was seen as a composition of a pervert and a brave man chasing after him.

　No one thought that a mad man wielding a holy sword would be a pervert, but if the savior of this town is chasing him, then he must be a sure pervert, so the guards came out to help the brave man.

　I want to tell you one thing, who are the deviants, at all.
　You all call me a pervert, excuse me.

　You have to be able to have a good time with your friends and family.

　Seriously, I'm sorry for causing you trouble for such a trivial matter.

　Seeing our situation, the old man lets out a small breath and, as if to say that this is the end of the conversation, he speaks of another topic.

You can also say that this time, people have found out that the mask is actually you, is that okay?　The masked form was meant to hide the identity of the demon king, wasn't it?

"Huh?　Yeah, no, I'm fine. I had to think about it, and I've decided to just show you my face. But I don't want them to know I'm the Demon King, so that's not a problem.

　As long as I'm taking Nell as my wife, I can't keep my identity hidden forever - I've already changed my status and alias to the one I used to use when I was disguised as a human - and now the identity of my mask is me. It's better to have them know that there is a .

　I'm sure the joke with Nell resulted in my face being split at an unintended time, but I had originally planned to divulge the fact that the mask was me at some point.

　I don't mean to say it myself, but I was the one who solved the crisis of the king's capital as a mysterious servant of the "Y" before.

　Now she's coming to the capital, saying she's going to marry a brave man.
　It will be conspicuous and the forces that are trying to destroy Nell will surely be interested in me.

　That might lessen the burden on Nell and lessen the maneuvering, and we can expect to find out who the enemy is.
　At that time, they will be more likely to contact you if they know who I am, rather than a mysterious mask that they don't know anything about.

　In short, he's using himself as a decoy.

　The demon king's bait, and it's the most expensive bait you've ever had. I hope you'll bite.

"Hmm. ...... If you're thinking about it, fine, but are you sure about ......?　If they find out that you are the Demon King, you can't even think about getting married. For sure, you will be banished from the human world as a betrayed hero.

　And to the old man's words, Nell, not me, replies first.

''That's the time, I'll open up and go to him now, it's fine, my lord. Thank you for your concern.

...... As a servant of this country, I would prefer not to see it turn out that way if possible. I'm sure you've already made up your mind.

"Yes!　I would continue to be a brave man if they let me, but I've already decided that no matter what happens, I'll live next to this mean-spirited, evil, silly, childish, mischievous, basically a give-and-take guy who is always making mistakes.

...... Um, Nell, I wonder if you're still angry at me for what I said earlier. I'm not sure I'm happy about it, even though it's supposed to be a nice thing to say.

No, I'm not angry at all!　I'm not a kid like you. I have the capacity to let bygones be bygones.

But, Nell, you've been jabbing me in the side with your elbow, aren't you angry? It seems to me that our words and actions are a little out of sync.

"Isn't it all in your head?

　I don't know if I'm right. Is it my imagination?

　Yeah, this dull pain coming at a gutting angle must be an illusion.
　Maybe it's because of the pinpoint attack, or maybe it's just my sensory organs that hurt despite the fact that it's a demon king's body.

　The pain you feel in your side is indescribably bitter, and I continue to speak to the old man of the lord with a bitter smile.

"Well, at any rate, my identity will not be found out, so don't worry. I don't intend to make such a mistake, and with the Demon King's magical power, I'm going to be able to say 'Oh!　I'm going to be so perfect that I'm going to be like, 'I'm human,' 'Oh, I'm human.

"Is it just me, or is it ...... that I don't understand and feel vaguely uncomfortable there?

My lord, you are getting to know your brother very well, aren't you?

　...... I don't get credited every time I do this.

　Maybe it's the way I do things. Is it because of my habit?

　I'm not sure if it's because of my daily behavior or not. ...... I'm a demon king, so I have to do something about it!
