I really only stop

According to the information I inquired from many sources, Oedipus is here now.

...But what is he doing here?

While ringing the doorbell, he was also looking at the building, and the Demon King tilted his head curiously.

This is the camp of the Batley family who has the title of [Plague Warlock]. If it is not necessary, almost no demons will take the initiative to approach the vicinity, let alone live here permanently like Oedipus.

Moreover, I vaguely recognize that this should be the residence of the patriarch of the Bartley clan—Miss Vallier Bartley, right?

Blinking his eyes smartly, Lord Demon King stared at the Patriarch Batley's logo engraved on the building again.

Speaking of Miss Vallier, there are a lot of rumors about her from the outside world.It is said that she has been famous in the devil world as a once-in-a-thousand-year genius of the Batley clan since she was a child. Her judgment, intuition, and wisdom are impeccable. She even systematically updated the knowledge system in the clan by herself. Very powerful person.

As for my impression of her... because I have very little contact with her, she is usually taciturn, but occasionally she can accurately hit the key points of things when she speaks.

In short, no matter in terms of experience or personality, she and that guy are two extremes.One is an iceberg beauty with a super brain, and the other is a fanatical mask lover who seems to be unable to keep her mouth idle for a second. When these two get together, what else can they talk about besides the breathability of their respective masks? ?

--No!etc!

Thinking of something suddenly, Lord Demon King's face changed drastically.

In addition to being super smart, I have another impression of Patriarch Bartley!She looks so pretty with the mask off!

I still remember that when I first met, she invited me into a completely clean room for an interview.When she took off the mask and revealed her original appearance, even I, who is also a woman, was shocked.

Silver hair as smooth as moonlight, perfect facial features that are impeccable, cold and intellectual gray eyes... many unique conditions gathered on her as if she didn't need money, and the appearance she created would definitely make any man fall in love with her. The fall!

If, if even that guy...

The little hand protecting the gift box tightened imperceptibly, and the extremely active Lord Demon King quickly shook his head.

no, I can not!

Oedipus is not the kind of guy who is interested in sex. I can understand that he pays more attention to the inner feelings when getting along with each other than anyone else.

Although I don't wish it so, he only seems to be open about speaking his mind when he's with me.As soon as there is a third person around, he immediately picks up the mask of camouflage and performs that elegant and detached look.

Really, I don't know what happened to him in the past, even if I ask him, he won't say anything.

Even though I tried my best to help him deal with it, other cadres still had great opinions on him.The straightforward demons look down on hypocritical villains the most. A few days ago, just after Oedipus returned to the team, he was almost attacked by Heleye.

It would be great if he could treat other cadres the same way he treats me...

Sighing lightly, when Lord Demon King's eyes fell on the gift box in her arms, the corner of her mouth curled up into a smile full of expectation.

But that's okay!Especially considering that guy's personality and preferences, this devil specially made this gift for him!

Yes, make it yourself!No help from others!

He raised his chest quite childishly, but there was a trace of tenderness in the smile of Lord Demon King looking at the gift box.

The reason for wanting to send him [this], apart from the previous promise that didn’t count or not, also contained a little bit of my hope.

Oedipus is actually a very good person, maybe his way of expression is a bit unpopular, maybe he is not as cheerful and optimistic as he deliberately showed, but, when we first met, I saw He came out, awkward but extremely eager to be understood, he just needed someone behind him to give him a slight nudge.

I know that with that guy's slowness in this regard, it may take a long time for him to see my intentions from this gift, but by then, he who understands everything will definitely show the brightest smile.

I really want to see his expression at that time~

She tiptoed involuntarily, and a blush flashed across the face of Lord Demon King, which she didn't even notice.

Oops!Just imagining the scene at that time can't help but become anticipation!

By the way, what the hell is that guy doing in there?I have waited for such a long time and still haven't come to open the door. When we meet later, I must ask him for a crime of rudeness——

"Zira."

At this moment, the sound of the Batley family's specially made airtight door curtain being opened just right, and Sikali, who had been looking forward to it for a long time, hastily stroked her hair, wanting to appear in front of that person with the best appearance.

——But immediately, the appearance of the person who appeared after the door curtain opened made her froze in place.

Chapter -39 The Reunion of 3/50

Sikali was completely stunned.

She had long heard that Oedipus was in this building at this time, and through her observation just now, she also understood that this was the temporary residence of the patriarch of the Batley clan, the home of the beautiful Miss Vallier.

However, she never thought that that person would appear in front of her in this posture.

Messy hair, thin clothing, sweat that hasn't been wiped off the forehead, and... red scratches on the neck and chest.

It's different... completely different from what I thought before!

If it was just a normal 'discussion', why would he come out dressed like this and open the door? !

His heart fell straight down as if a piece had been dug out, Lord Demon King swayed in a daze, and barely stopped his footsteps.

Inhale, exhale.

The little hand holding the gift box unconsciously tightened a little bit, the devil bit his lip, and smiled reluctantly:

"Yeah, you, hello~"

It was obviously a very positive tone, but at the end of the sentence, he couldn't hide it anymore, and there was a trembling cry.

Faced with the Demon Lord who is working so hard and smiling so distressingly, almost everyone will feel compassion.The bright sun should bring warmth to others without worry, and she should not be shrouded in dark clouds and shadows.

However, the man she was facing now was different.

As if he didn't hear Sikali's crying at all, Oedipus scratched his hair very casually:

"Ah, Lord Demon King. I haven't seen you for a month, and seeing that you are still so energetic, my subordinates are really very pleased."

"Well...me too, I'm glad to see Oedipus is healthy."

Hearing that person's voice as usual, the uneasiness in the Demon King's heart faded a little for some reason.

Maybe things are not as I imagined?

Oedipus has just come back from the outside world, and must need a house to live in.Could it be that the reason why he appeared at the door in such a posture was just temporarily [lodging] in Miss Vallier's house?

Also, that's right!Miss Vallier is a great genius, and she is very busy with her research work every day.Maybe she happened to vacate this room, so she just lent it to Oedipus, which is very reasonable!

Um!It must be so!

Oedipus will only take off his mask in front of me, which is a tacit understanding between the two of us.

Since he is not wearing a mask now, it means that there must be no one else in the house except him!

It is the strength of Lord Demon King that everything can be considered in a positive direction. Just thinking about it in this way, the smile on her face became bright again:

"—By the way, I'm here to give you a special gift this time! Do you want to guess what it is~"

"Guessing riddles? I'm not good at using my brain... That's right!"

Knocking on the palm of his hand as if suddenly enlightened, Oedipus turned his head and called to the room:

"Wei, you are much smarter than me, do you want to come over and guess?"

... [Wei]?

"Clap."

Under the gaze of Lord Demon King's slightly widened eyes, the door curtain was pulled open again, and what emerged from it was a tall woman with beautiful gray eyes that didn't look a little bit inferior even though she was wearing a heavy protective suit.

"..."

The woman didn't say anything, she just stood silently behind Oedipus.But the atmosphere at the scene fell into a deathly silence.

"...It's hard to come here, so don't stand outside."

The left hand hidden behind was tightly clenched, and traces of blood spilled out on the skin.However, facing the Lord Demon King who was looking at him, Oedipus still smiled very naturally:

"Master Demon King, please come in."

------------

If there was still a last ray of hope outside the door, then the scene you saw when you entered the house was a ruthless hand that ruthlessly snuffed out this last ray of hope.

Crumpled sheets, quilts thrown on the floor, casually opened wardrobes and women's private clothes inside.

The facts in front of us are so cruel and clear that there is no room for fantasy at all.

"...I'm sorry, the room is too messy."

Seemingly scratching his hair apologetically, Oedipus pulled the blanket off his body and pointed to the scratch on his chest:

"I said, Wei, can you be a little more gentle next time? Fortunately, the Lord Demon King saw this scene. If someone who is a gossip saw this scene, wouldn't everyone think that I have some special hobbies when it spreads?"

"..."

The gray eyes lingered for a moment on the ghost-like Lord Demon King beside him. Although the frowning Viriel still didn't say a word, she silently reached out and pinched Oedipus' waist.

"Ouch! It hurts! It hurts!"

Immediately shouted mournfully, as if reminded by this action, Oedipus turned to look at Lord Demon King:

"[This kind of thing is too early for the Lord Demon King]? Wei, you are right. Sorry Lord Demon King, I am a person who speaks without consideration. I accidentally offended all the cadres and colleagues before, and now I have no intention Offended you... I promise, I will change it in the future!"

When did I whisper that to you? !

Hearing Oedipus's nonsense, even with the calm temper of Miss Patriarch, there was a trace of anger in her eyes.

She was just about to speak to stop Oedipus, but before she could speak, she heard the girl say this.

"It turns out...it turns out that this is the relationship between you..."

Dodging the eyes of the two people in front of him, Lord Demon King stared at the floor tightly, holding the gift box he was going to give him in his arms:

"...I'm the one who should say I'm sorry. I ran to knock on the door without saying hello. I must have disturbed you... Oh, thinking about it this way, I'm so...so stupid..."

As if deliberately contradicting reason, the more the girl wanted to pretend nothing happened, the more obvious the trembling in her voice became.

...Strange, why do I want to cry all of a sudden?

The floor in front of her eyes gradually became blurred, obviously the girl had tried her best to hold back, but the sour feeling still rushed from her throat to her nasal cavity.

I couldn't bear it, so I had to run away quickly.

Raising her head vigorously, the girl whose eyes were full of crystals once again showed a bright smile to Oedipus:

"—Well, actually, I have nothing else to do here today. Think about it, when we met last time, I accidentally broke your precious mask. As a devil king, I can't owe others What, so... so this new mask I made..."

At the end of the speech, tears flowed down his cheeks uncontrollably.

However, as if she hadn't noticed this, the girl continued to act bravely that everyone already knew.

I didn't cry, I didn't cry.

Repeating this sentence in his heart almost like self-hypnosis, the Lord Demon King thrust the gift box that he had been holding for a long time into that person's arms:

"...Well, it's just this matter, so I won't bother you."

"And then it's just...it's really nice to see you open up to other people."

After saying these words, black magic power evaporated from the Demon King's body, and a complicated teleportation circle appeared at her feet in an instant, taking her away from here quickly.

In the same place, only Oedipus was left holding the gift she sent.

Without the frivolity of the conversation just now, he just looked at where she was just now, and remained silent for a long time.

Chapter -40 Confidence of 3/50

After a long silence like a statue, Oedipus spoke hoarsely:

"……sorry."

"To me? Or to Lord Demon King?"

Seeing the man's appearance, the usually calm Miss Patriarch suddenly felt inexplicable anger in her heart. She stepped in front of Oedipus and looked at him coldly:

"Speak clearly."

"……to you."

After another long silence, Oedipus lowered his head:

"Although I know that it is impossible for Sikali to do that, once my behavior just now gets out, it will definitely have a great impact on your reputation. For this reason, I want to say sorry to you."

"I don't need your apology, but I don't understand what you are thinking."

The gray eyes locked tightly on the figure of Oedipus, and Valier didn't seem to want to give him a chance to escape:

"You obviously have the opportunity to explain things clearly, why do you deliberately lead things in the most misleading direction?"
