The Betrayed Devil No Longer Hides His Power

50 – New Hero 14

“After… “

Frieza let out a sigh feeling heavy fatigue.

Originally, she was supposed to be taking a break for a while, but the news of her dwarves’ participation in the war splendidly twisted all of her schedule.

Fortunately, they didn’t come here during her misfortune, but the fact that the work she had to do increased enormously did not change.

Classifying the number of people who can fight immediately, arranging supplies, and contacting the Pope in case of emergency. Frieza, who had to spend the time his body lacked even in the tropics.

Now that it was finally over, she was silently complaining of her fatigue, showing that her body was not looking good to anyone.

And,

Watching her like this,

I spoke carefully in the hope that it would be a little comforting.

“It was hard. Now let’s get some rest.”

“Yes… It seems that it must be so. It’s a new feeling, but it’s not easy to stay up all night. I think you know what it means to say that fans are scarier than knives.”

“hahahaha… That’s how it is. It’s truly terrifying combat power to make the world’s Frieza exhausted like this.”

Frieza’s hand, which was fine even when he wielded the scythe, is swollen.

Feeling pity for her suffering of having to squeeze out all her strength and play with the pen,

I carefully held her messed up hand.

And…

“… Mind… Devil… sir?”

“It is a basic healing magic. You can use it regardless of race, so don’t worry.”

Magic is not so great in front of Frieza, a saint who can revive even the dead.

However, because she was so overworked that she couldn’t even afford to care about her, I simply helped her.

“Ah… “

Right after that, Frieza looked at the hand that had been completely restored.

Then she blushed slightly and put a shy smile on her lips.

“Thank you… It is. Really… Thank you. Demon King.”

“You don’t have to be so grateful. It’s only natural for us to help each other.”

“Whoops… “

Frieza expresses his sincere gratitude as always, even though it is an extremely trivial thing.

Watching her so happy, I also started to smile at the corner of my mouth.

Then…

“… Huh?”

“!…”

In the next moment, a sign that began to be recognized a step too late.

Frieza and I felt embarrassed at this and turned her head away.

Right after that, the figure of a person that began to come into our eyes.

At the same time as recognizing who he is,

A sentence automatically popped into my head.

‘No… Why are you here?’

A woman looking at us with a shocked expression on her face. She was

Wearing her disguise with her magic, but we immediately recognized who she was.

Hella.

Frieza and I were quite surprised by the fact that she was here, where she was supposed to be resting somewhere, including Sagunto.

Then…

“Poetry… Excuse me!”

After an urgent greeting, Hella disappears as if running away.

I was momentarily confused about what to do.

Then.

“What are you doing! Go after them!”

“Ugh… huh?”

“Quickly! Doesn’t he have something to say! Come on, before there is any misunderstanding!”

“Ah… I get it.”

Uncharacteristically for her, Frieza raises her voice and says something.

I felt like I was losing my mind and started following Hella.

*

“… “

“… “

The demon king appeared before my eyes.

At this, Hella was unable to say anything for a moment and had no choice but to keep her silence.

There were a lot of things I wanted to say.

What does holding hands mean?

Even the exact relationship with Freeza.

And…

It even comes down to what you are here for.

However, despite the fact that there are so many questions I want to ask. Hella couldn’t keep her mouth shut.

I was afraid.

How painful it must be for the truth to come out of his mouth.

And… How should she react to it?

Right now everything is just… It just felt so terrifying.

Then.

Toward her,

The demon king broke the silence and spoke in a calm voice.

“… What are you doing here?”

“… That… “

Hella suddenly realized that she had to make an excuse for her words.

She has already thought out what to say.

Just do as Fenrir advised.

I came here for a necessary task.

To report the situation and receive orders.

He said he came all the way here just to do his job…

But…

At this moment, she didn’t want to do that.

I didn’t want to.

Unlike her, the saintess who had been by the demon king’s side a while ago was stepped on by her eyes.

Because I resent this man who is hanging out with another woman without knowing the feelings she has had for a long time.

And…

After hesitating and hesitating just because of the master-servant relationship,

In the end, I was so angry at myself for not being able to meet such a stupid ending.

The result of being pushed back by such emotions.

She finally…

She opened her mouth.

“I miss you… came.”

“… What?”

The demon king looks surprised for a moment.

While thinking that that man could have a face like that,

As if the bolts that Hella had kept in her heart had been loosened, she continued to spit out her words.

She said

“I came because I wanted to see you. You… I want to see the face of the Demon King. I miss you so much… So I came… However… however… you are… “

“Hey… la… ?”

It was the first time.

She honestly revealed her feelings in her own heart.

She said things she thought she shouldn’t say without filtering them out.

At the same time,

Tears began to flow from Hella’s eyes.

And,

Just like those tears…

Between the bars of the heart that are still not locked up,

Her inner thoughts continued to pour out.

“Why… is it… why… Why did you choose that person?… I… I’ve liked her for so long… Even though you didn’t know my heart at all… Why… Why is that woman… “

“… “

In a voice mixed with crying, Hella spoke with difficulty.

I knew that this was forced.

No matter how long she had her heart, it was she herself who refused to acknowledge it, not anyone else.

She’s not suitable for being a demon king.

She said that there are other people in the world who would be more compatible with him than herself.

While talking to herself like that, Hella couldn’t be honest about her feelings all the time.

But nonetheless…

She decided to force herself for this moment.

Because I felt like I would regret it…

Now that everything is over anyway.

If she doesn’t pour out her heart now,

I was sure she would regret it forever.

Then.

“… Ah… “

A warm feeling that can be felt suddenly.

It is… The action of the demon lord hugging her own body.

At this, Hella began to subside for a moment in her raging emotions.

At the same time, I began to have doubts.

Why is this man hugging her?

Is it because of simple sympathy?

If not, is it the last goodbye to oneself who has committed rudeness?

Either way she was, this Hella was determined that she couldn’t look ugly anymore.

I poured out what I wanted to say as soon as I thought of it.

If this displeased his lord, he was willing to be punished.

However, the fact that her behavior disappears as a meaningless echo only hurts her heart.

So Hella harbors feelings of resignation and acceptance.

That person’s voice in her ears.

It is…

“… Good… sun.”

“….?!…. Yes?”

The owner spoke incomprehensibly.

Hella put on a dazed expression for a moment.

Toward her, her, her.

Her owner…

The Demon King, Arcadia.

He spoke again in a clearer voice.

“I like… I was liking… So far you… Hella, I’ve always liked you.”

“… Ah… “

His voice resonates in my ears.

Right after I finally interpreted the meaning of the words contained in it.

Hella’s face started to turn bright red.

“… Ah… Ah… “

I couldn’t think of anything to say.

So what was the situation just before?

It’s like who do you like more among Free Theo himself?

It felt like it didn’t matter.

What she’s feeling, what’s going on in her head.

There was only one thing.

‘Ki… lie… ‘

I feel like I’m in a very beautiful dream.

If this is a dream, the feeling you never want to wake up from.

Like that, while feeling the greatest joy since I was born.

Tears began to form in Hella’s eyes once again.

Those were not the bitter tears of pain from before.

So sweet… It was tears of happiness.
