　Jeanne's room was on the second floor of Marco's mansion. It was in a different direction from the guest room where my bedroom was. It seemed that the men and women were separated from each other.

　I thought he was concerned about the public morals, but since he kept on asking Ryoma to be his wife, maybe he was trying to make it easier for her to crawl in the night.

　He is a very troublesome old man, but I can't blame him too much because I know that he cares for Ryoma like a granddaughter.

　As I walk with these thoughts in mind, I soon arrive in front of Jeanne's room.

　I knock on her door. Immediately she replies.

"Who are you?"

　she asks, a little wary.

　I had told her to be careful that there might still be some revolutionaries who might unleash assassins on us, so she must be wary of me. She is a very honest girl.

"It's me, the Demon King of Jeanne.

"You're the Demon King?"

　For a moment, I thought the door would be opened immediately, but it stopped halfway through.

"...... something is fishy..." the demon king asks me himself. It's unusual for the Demon King to ask me himself. ....... What?　Could it be a fake?

"No, no, of course not. I'm the one with the voice.

I have the magic to imitate vocal chords.

　Jeanne said cautiously and continued.

"If you are the Demon Lord, answer this question!

"So you're saying that if I give you information that only I know, you'll believe me?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Something like that."

　Then she continues.

"Is Jeanne d'Arc the woman he loves the most?　Yes, or yes!

"............"

　I thought to myself, "What the heck," but I knew I'd never get away with this if I went along with Jeanne properly, so I cast the "Unlock" spell, forcibly unlocked the lock, and opened the door.

　Jeanne allowed me to enter at her mercy, but she seemed to be convinced that it was me who was outside the door.

　She smiles at me,

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The correct answer is 'unlock'. I knew the Demon King was the Demon King.

　She jumps into my arms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I take her by the shoulders and pull away.

"An unmarried girl shouldn't hug a man in front of his room," I say.

　But she says, "Well, let's do it in the room! She pulls my hand away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She tries to push me down on the bed, but I can't do that, so I go to the center of the room holding both sides of Jeanne's arms.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I take her hands and force her to take a step.

"Oh, you're dancing," she says.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes. Yes, ballroom dancing. I mean, you're pretty good at it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I learned it from the maid's steps.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Jeanne is a genius.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

It's a sign of a good warrior. Learning by watching your opponent's moves.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then you're a good fighter. You'll be at the ball.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

No.

　The answer is the same as before. After all, it seems that a servant of God does not want to be in a place of splendor.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I cannot back down, so I use a ruse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"I wonder if I can say that. At the ball, there will be delicacies from the mountains and the sea gathered from all over the world.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Delicacies from the mountains and the sea!"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jeanne was instantly hooked.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Isn't the ball just about dancing?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's not just dancing. I mean, most of them don't. Most of them don't dance... like Marco..."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then what do they do?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Drinking and talking business. I think the ladies are talking about a good man.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

They seem bored.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Oh, so all the food at the ball is Jeanne's. I won't be offended if you eat them all up."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Hearing those words, Jeanne's blonde hair stood up with a snap. It looks like a stupid hair.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jeanne's blonde hair spins around for about three seconds. When it stopped spinning, she said.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I'm going to the ball!　I'm going to the ball too!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"That's very kind of you to say, but is God OK with it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I asked a little nastily and Jeanne shook her head.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"It's not nice to be extravagant in a fancy place, but if I don't go, there will be too much food for the party. It is against God's will to waste food.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was honestly impressed by such an argument, and Jeanne began to undress with a smile on her face.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She didn't seem to be trying to seduce me. She is trying to put on a dress, but there is no way that a peasant-born soldier can wear a dress. He doesn't know how to put it on.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Of course, there is no way I can figure it out, so I call Eve and let her do it.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Eve said, "Jeanne would look good in a white dress," and she borrowed a white dress from me.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was looking forward to seeing what kind of a lady I would become, but I also had to prepare myself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I put on my usual attire and left Marco's house.

　The ball was to be held at the guest house of Bernese. In front of the villa, there was a line of magnificent carriages.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　When I get into one of them, Ryoma is already inside and pats me on the chair so that I sit down beside him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Jeanne jumps into the room.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Demon king!　We have to go to the guest house now!　The food is getting cold!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The sight of her reminded me of the phrase "dumplings are better than flowers", but I didn't say anything because Eve was also getting into the car and the carriage departed.

　The carriage that Marco had prepared was filled with a flowery smell. It was the smell of perfume worn by beautiful flowers, but they were all wearing very fragrant perfumes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I was shocked at the fact that they were not wearing perfume, but I tried my best not to show it on my face as we rode in the carriage.
