chapter 16

Merlin frowned, upset.

“Hey, don’t call me a sex fiend. I have my dignity.”

“Huh, sex fiend, sex addict, scum…” Alice further provoked Merlin.

“Are you trying to force me to get rough?” Merlin’s face darkened. He is disinclined to draw his sword against a mere High tier individual.

But if the other party continues to wag her tongue shamelessly, then Merlin will send her to Hell resolutely.

“Er!” Alice, her face pale, recalled the slash in front of the Demon Palace, and she couldn’t help being frightened. Merlin scared her into being quiet.

“Humph!” With a cold snort, Merlin used his foot to kick the pure white rapier on the ground into the air, then grabbed it and looked at it, “Although the weapon is good, but the same isn’t true for the wielder.”

Alice’s face turned red, and she thought angrily — not only is he going to violate me, but he’s also making fun of my fighting strength, this sucks…

Merlin curled his lips in disdain, inserted the rapier into Alice’s scabbard, and returned it to her.

“Eh?”

Alice, with a stunned look, mused — why did he return me my sword? Isn’t he afraid that I’ll look for a chance to kill him? Now is a good chance!

She secretly swallowed and, along with a “shling” sound, unsheathed the rapier halfway.

“Don’t waste your strength. A hundred of you are not my match. For me to return you your weapon, would I be afraid of you sneak-attacking me?” Merlin feels that this Hero is no good. Unlike the previous Heroes, who didn’t like to mount sneak attacks, this Alice has done it several times already.

Is she a mercenary that the Church recruited? She clearly doesn’t abide by a strict chivalric code.

It seems that the Church has a lack of talents. Now anyone can become a Hero.

Looking at Merlin, who doesn’t look like he’s making a joke, Alice recalled his previous display of strength, and her heart couldn’t help shaking in fear.

Right, as someone who can blocked my full strength attack with two fingers, how could he be afraid of a surprise attack from me?

Alice hesitated, and then silently sheathed back the rapier. She decided to try settle this through negotiation. Lucifer III, who feels different from previous Demon Lords, looks like he can be reasoned with.

“What are you going to do?”

“We have already been defeated.”

“The mighty Demon Lord won’t even let off deserters?”

“What am I going to do? You’ll know soon enough, he-he-he~” Merlin stroked his chin, looking like a hoodlum who is molesting an innocent girl in a tavern.

“Disgusting…” Alice is flustered. The more she looks at Merlin, the more she thinks that he’s vulgar and perverse.

Merlin, without saying anything else, appeared behind Alice and lifted her using princess carry.

Alice has a dull expression on her face. Before she realized what is going on, her feet were already off the ground.

She, who has lived on a snow-capped mountain since she was little, didn’t have much contact with men, let alone being carried by one.

Merlin’s masculine breath assaulted Alice’s head, making her dizzy, her nose feverish, and her heart pound like crazy —

What’s wrong with me?

Why is my heart beating so fast?

Is this love?

No no no! How could this be? This bastard is a scumbag!

Furthermore, I am a Hero, while he is a Demon Lord! How could I fall in love with an enemy!

“Hey you, you’re really heavy. If you don’t lose weight, you might not be able to get married…” There is a bitter look on Merlin’s face. Worried that Alice will struggle and waste time, he simply lifted her up.

“Id… idiot! That’s because of my mythril armor! It has nothing to do with my weight!” Alice’s cheeks flushed, and she explained in a panic.

Wait! This isn’t right.

Why am I panicking?

I’m going to be violated, I should be struggling and screaming!

“Let’s go, it’s just a few steps away. It’s very close…” Merlin, without bullshit, moved quickly on the beach with Alice in his arms.

“Let me go! I won’t go! Let go of me! You sex fiend! I don’t want to be violated by you!”

After being in a daze for a while, Alice, who finally remembered to struggle and resist, hit Merlin in the chest with her small fists.

Merlin, who is in a complicated mood, has black drooping lines on his head —

I really want to throw this fool into the sea and feed her to the sharks…
