Chapter 5: The hero slept like a baby in the chest of the small girl

[It seems that, I, like demon king more than I initially imagined]

After swallowing the spirit, I unconsciously told her my honest feelings.

In my eyes, the girl with a red face is more lovable than anyone else.

[Me, me too. Because I love hero too... that, don't keep saying things that makes one happy. I will die of embarrassment]

[......I will be troubled if you die so I won't say any more of it]

[Muu, make a promise. I will allow it occasionally. Precisely speaking, about 20 times per day]

[Isn't that too numerous?]

[Kusukusu] and while she laughs, she drank more of the spirit. The spirit of dwarf is almost emptied.

I'm reaching my limits and not registering what I even just said.

[...... Demon king, for generations, the heroes always have short life span]

As my brain is not thinking clearly, I said such a thing unconsciously.

[That, is because the hero is the strongest existence in the human world so they are always sent to the frontline. It can't be helped]

It can't be helped. Dying in battle is something that can't be avoided.

However, if I die... when I think of such a thing, the situation that scared me the most is...

[As I said, I thought of the situation following my death. What will happen to the human world... when I think of such things...]

I felt chills on my back.
They will only realise how weak they are at the time where I'm not around in this world.

The corrupted royal family. The powerless soldiers. The citizens that only pursue for personal gains, their personal desire and greed.

Striking other with rods, laughing and looking down on people with a lower position than themselves, those stupid human... there is no future with their values.

[It is definite that I will still help. After all, I think that this is my destiny. However, they start taking me for granted and they don't think much of my help... ... and they expect that I will continue helping them and totally depend on me]

[Hence, you betrayed the human? In order to break the status quo, you changed side and took away the nation strengths...... so as to allow them to start anew?]

The demon king understands the whole situation from my explanation.
I nod weakly and lean my entire body weight against her.

[Oops]

Due to this action, both of us are lying on top of the bed.

I turn around while lying on top of the bed and we are now staring at each other. From within her golden pupils, I can see myself making an awkward looking face.

[I realised that. The action I took for human being is actually not helping them. As I carry every single burden, it became a situation where nobody else need to share the burden... ... human being, is beyond rotten]

Hence, I betrayed them.

My existence in the human's world. I just realized that it is the worst situation for human being -

What just exited my mouth is words of regrets that I will never tell anyone.

If only I did this. If only I did that. If only I did better. All my actions till now are all a waste of time.

I'm saying my honest but outrageous thoughts that I'm always kept in my mind.

The reason must be due to me being drunk. It must be the case here.

If not, I will never say stuff that reveals my weakness as it is too embarrassing and sad.

As the very least, this is not an attitude I will use in front of the girl I like. After finishing, I quickly deny in panic.

However, the demon king act before me.

[This is all for actions for meeting with me. This is what I believed]

Suddenly, I felt warmth.
The demon king opened her chest... ... and I can feel heat from her tanned skin and it left me speechless.

It seems that I'm hugged by her. Such kindness makes my stiffen body relax.

At the same time, I can hear her heartbeat. That heart beat makes me feel extremely happy.

Everything that happens until this point, all my tension - feels like it's disappearing.

[...... I worked so hard in order to meet you]

[That's right. Then, after meeting me, we can finally live our life this way. There won't be any hardship and your life will be better from now on]

No matter what it is, the kind demon king alway pampers me.

Towards me who is giving my best, she consoled, praised and even gave me a hug.

[Abandon your past. Because the important thing is, the (life) that the two of us will spend together]

It can't be helped that I want to be pamper by her.

Not as a hero. As an individual, she wants me to live in happiness.

Her endless kindness is filling my inner heart.

[Thank you, demon king... I, love you so much]

After I said that, I plant a kiss on her collarbone.
Soon after, I drew a lovely shape on her collarbone and make her tremble.

[Ah... h, hero? That, me too, about you, love... love you]

[I know]

I smile and bury my face in her chest.

Although it's flat, it also feels nice being able to be in direct contact with her chest.

Ahh -, not good...... listening to her heartbeat makes me sleepy.

It might be due to me being overworked till now, or drinking large quantity of alcohol, or releasing all everything that was pended up within me, I'm assaulted by a strong sense of sleepiness.

[Th, that. My first time, is today? I'm, I'm prepared? However, because it's my first, please be gentle......]

I have already fallen into the dream world while the demon king is mumbling something.

[......Goodnight, demon king]

I fall asleep after saying that last sentence.

[Eh? S, sleep!? Under such circumstance, you fell asleep after giving me expectation and leaving me as it is!? Hey, hero! Wake up, wake up... ... my body, is it lacking such appeal. Uwaa, hero]

I fell into a deep sleep in her chest.
This is the first time I'm sleeping so well ever since young —
