The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing.

Chapter 490: Self-Strategy for Love Brain
"——You mean, that guy... Dick wasn't actually courting, but declaring war? He's actually a candidate cadre in the Demon King's Army!?"

Sato Kazuma shouted in astonishment.

Everyone gathered in a mansion in the suburbs...Except Aqua, that guy probably had a good chat with Dick and went to another tavern for a second drink. He probably won't be back tonight.

And after Dick said that he hated the undead and demons the most and combined it with the previous sense of familiarity, Zun Zun finally remembered who this guy was.

"No wonder, I felt something was wrong."

Sato Kazuma clapped his hands hard.

Darkness seemed unable to accept it. She shouted, “Wait, wait a minute! Don’t jump to conclusions, maybe it’s not like that. Maybe he really wants to ask for love or something!?”

"No, no, no, you heard it just now, Dick said that he hates the undead and demons the most."

"Well."

These words clearly reached the ears of the three people who were eavesdropping on the side.

It would be fine if Dick didn't know that Wiz was a lich and had a misunderstanding, but in the previous conversation he clearly stated that he knew that Wiz was a lich and an ice witch.

"For love, accepting a race you don't like, overcoming difficulties together, and breaking all doubts. Such a common plot in fairy tales..."

"Do you think that's possible?"

Darkness, who was still thinking of using the excuse of "I would rather be against the world than anything else for love", remained silent.

It would be fine if they had a very deep emotional foundation, but Dick and Wiz have never met each other, so how could there be any emotional bond?
Sato Kazuma also seemed to suddenly realize something.

"No wonder. Think about it carefully. This is what Dick said before: Okay, that's enough! Ice Witch, fight me! You ask why, is there any need to explain? Of course, it's to show you my power and make you quit your current job!"

"Isn't this a declaration to bring Wiz into the family and let her give up her current role as the boss lady of magic tools?"

"That's normal, but have you forgotten that Wiz has another identity?"

"You mean a Demon King Army cadre?"

Darkness... No, it should be said that the whole team is an insider. Wiz is not only the owner of an ordinary magic tool store in Axel, but also a cadre of the Demon King's Army who maintains the barrier of the Demon King's Castle.

"So that's why Dick finally said: I'll take over your job...?"

This is a complete misunderstanding!

Come to think of it, Dick had never mentioned anything like love before, it was completely Wiz who assumed that on his own.

“Doesn’t this mean that Miss Wiz is in danger now!?”

Youyou exclaimed.

Among the team members, she is the one who stays in Wiz's magic item shop most often, because Wiz is not only a powerful great magician, but also very gentle and kind, so they have a good relationship.

“Oh no! We need to tell Wiz about this quickly!”

Early the next morning.

When Aqua, who had not returned all night, had not returned yet, everyone rushed to the magic item shop, intending to tell Wiz about this matter.

"——Welcome!"

The person who opened the door to greet me was Vanir.

He spread his arms and said, "You little brats who have finally discovered the truth, it's too late even if you want to change it, so just accept the status quo!"

"So you know it. That's right, after all, how could you not see it with your clairvoyance?"

After confirmation from Vanir, Darkness and the others finally gave up.

It seems that this is not a fantasy love.

Sato Kazuma said angrily, "I say, if you know everything, why don't you tell Wiz? Are you deliberately not telling her just to savor her emotions?"

"I don't deny that I have such thoughts, but more importantly, I can't change them."

Barnil shrugged and pointed to the backyard.

"You'll understand the details if you go and see. That flower-crazy good-for-nothing boss is talking to the flowers in the backyard of this store. To be honest, it's quite disgusting if you watch it for too long, so you should go and put an end to it quickly and let us enjoy it."

Soon, Darkness brought Wiz back from the backyard.

“——Hey, Mr. Kazuma and Mr. Zun, welcome.”

There was a strange expression on her face, which was somewhat sad and a little overjoyed at the same time.

"Since then, I have thought about it for a long time. Should I respond to Mr. Dick's feelings, or should I stay here and work hard to run this store to fulfill Mr. Vanir's wishes..."

"I have told you many times that it would be better for you to get married so that this store can continue to run smoothly."

Wiz, who turned a deaf ear to Vanir's words, had tears in her eyes and lamented with exaggerated body language like a tragic heroine.

"Ah, I just wanted to live a peaceful life and make this store prosperous, but things suddenly turned out like this. What should I do? Mr. Vanir does need me, but..."

"What we need is your magic, not your management ability. It would be better to say that this ability is a burden."

Wiz once again turned a deaf ear to Vanir's words and looked out the window with melancholy and lament in her eyes, pressing her palm against the window glass.

"But! On the other hand, Mr. Dick not only needs me, he also said that he can't live without me. He even said that he doesn't want anyone else except me. Now that he has said this..."

"He's not, he didn't, don't talk nonsense."

"Now that he has said this! What should I do? Which path should I choose..."

Wiz didn't even bother to complain.

——It’s over!

Now the Lich Queen has been completely possessed by the devil. She has completely become obsessed with love. Is this the so-called self-strategy?
“Wiz, there’s something I need to tell you in advance. We discovered that…” “Hey! Shut up!”

Sato Kazuma grabbed Darkness' mouth when she wanted to tell her the truth, telling her not to talk nonsense at this time.

Everyone also understood why it was too late.

Zun Zun looked at Vanir.

"Don't look at me like that. I am also worried about the boss's miserable condition. I have been feeding him decent food lately..."

Vanir spread his hands helplessly.

“As a result, for some reason, the sick boss began to have a strange misunderstanding, saying that we became more considerate than before in order to keep Wiz in this store.”

"I see. So you just left her alone and that's how she became, right?"

"That's it."

No wonder even Vanir was helpless.

Now, Wiz is in a state of being obsessed with her. No matter who treats her well, they will be misunderstood as having feelings for her. This will only make her condition worse.

That's really hard work, Vanir.

"Now the boss is like this from morning till night, so obsessed that his head has become a garden. At least he won't bring in any weird products, and it won't affect business... But for demons like us, mental attacks are more effective than crappy magic..."

She was a demon, but she sighed heavily like a human. And Wiz herself looked like she really wanted Vanir to pay attention to her, and she kept stealing glances in this direction.

"Boss, didn't you receive the invitation letter? Go and deal with this matter quickly and come back, then turn back into your normal self and complete the contract you made with me!"

"Hey!"

Sato Kazuma tugged at his clothes.

He had an expression that said, "You're not really going to let Wiz go on a date, are you?" After all, this time he wasn't going to accept a confession, but to fight.

Even if you are really tortured badly, you wouldn't do this.

"Don't worry." Vanir waved his hand and said, "I have seen it, it will go smoothly this time, and the useless boss will defeat the opponent."

Hear him say that.

"Mr. Barnier is saying that he wants me, who only makes losses, to continue to be the boss?" Weisz said.

"If I ask you to replace me, you won't agree."

Vanir pulled the corner of his mouth, and although there was dissatisfaction in his words, this was the first time he expressed his opinion. He hoped that Wiz would maintain the status quo and continue to be the boss.

"Mr. Banil is such a tsundere."

"What kind of bullshit tsundere are you talking about to a genderless demon? Stop saying those disgusting things and come back soon! After the work is finished, we will definitely rush to the scene to make up for the recent mental damage."

Zun Zun can be 100% sure.

This damn demon is definitely not a tsundere. He is expecting Wiz to be hit hard next, and then he will taste the other party's shame and anger. But they have no way to change the status quo!

"Yes! I'm going!"

Because at this moment, Wiz showed a fearless smile.

Just when we were about to set off——

"Wiz, Wiz! Are you there!?"

Aqua, who had not returned home all night, rushed over. She rushed into the magic item shop and pointed directly at Wiz.

"Aqua-sama?"

"Don't be nervous, I'm actually here to deliver a message! Dick said he's waiting for you, and he'll wait for you no matter when you go! That guy is unexpectedly persistent!"

Wow--

An unparalleled confession!
Honestly, if I didn't know that Dick's real purpose was to duel, I would have thought that he was a conscious and good man who was about to confess his love.

Just look at Wiz.

She was so moved that she couldn't help herself.

But the more this happened, the more ashamed everyone felt. What would happen when the truth came out?
And Aqua seemed to remember something.

"That's right! Listen to me, Wiz, Dick is a good man, I approve of him!"

"Does Aqua-sama think so too?"

Wiz was somewhat happy.

It seemed as if he had been recognized and was overjoyed.

did not expect--

"Ah! Dick is ridiculously strong. I fought him all night last night, but I didn't expect he was so strong! This morning, I couldn't even get out of bed!"

"Um???"

The Lich Queen's expression was stiff.

Although he knew that Aqua didn't come back all night just because she was drinking with Dick, it would be great if it could cause Wiz to misunderstand and lower her psychological expectations a little.

Thank you for your contribution, Aqua!
