The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

Chloe washed her face, basked in the sunlight, and opened the system's gacha page.

Points remaining: 2345

Enough for two 10-pulls!

This is the money she painstakingly extracted from the rich man; she can't let it go to waste.

However, even with her mysterious face-washing technique, she couldn't escape her unlucky fate.

My first 10-pull failed; I was guaranteed at least one upgrade card and nine classic fashion junk items.

Although upgrade cards are nice, and given her current level, the more the better, the thought of it being a guaranteed drop makes Chloe's heart ache.

It's always the pity system, can't we at least get something useful? I'm not even talking about some amazing weapon, a sniper rifle would be fine too.

Chloe looked at the pile of classic fashion trash on the ground with a look of regret.

Since the face-washing mysticism didn't work, Chloe decided to... try another mysticism.

Unlucky people never lack mystical solutions.

"Daddy! System Daddy! Ship me to the system! I'll kowtow to you! If all else fails, I can even dress you in your favorite blue and white bowl... Oh, that's what I like. Never mind then."

Well, this is the metaphysics of trash talk. She was standing up and banging her head against the wall. Anyway, she's alone in this house now, and no one's watching her, so she can do whatever she wants.

As it turns out, this superstitious method does work; Chloe actually got three cards in her ten-pull this time.

Besides the guaranteed upgrade card, there were two other cards that she missed.

[Equipment Enhancement Card]

[Item Description: This item has a chance to enhance equipment; failure to enhance will damage the equipment.]

[Skill Enhancement Card]

[Item Description: This item has a very small chance of enhancing skills, granting them special effects.]

She hadn't used either of these cards since she was still a hero.

After all, it's not a particularly rare card; for heroes, it's something they already have more than enough of.

Equipment enhancement cards only provide a negative boost to heroes who already possess a full set of divine weapons.

Skill enhancement cards are useless for heroes who have already upgraded all their skills to god-level.

It was precisely because of his divine artifacts and god-level skills that the hero was able to fight the demon king, who was a god, to a standstill.

However, the hero eventually died and became Chloe.

But for Chloe right now, these two cards are still very important.

Unfortunately, the only magic she can use right now—healing—is not very effective, and she can't use the Magic Dagger casually anymore, which is somewhat affecting her ability to cheat.

If her healing spell were upgraded and could be cast with system assistance, she could happily cheat again.

As for equipment enhancement cards... as long as the enhancement is successful, ordinary clothes can be turned into bulletproof vests, and she can turn any piece of equipment into high-level equipment by enhancing it.

This temporarily resolved the issue regarding weaponry.

All I can say is that this gacha pull was a huge win!

Chloe plans to use the skill enhancement card first, and save the equipment enhancement card for later. She'll see if she can ask Lulum for a better piece of equipment to try enhancing it.

Just as Chloe was about to perform her mystical arts again, she suddenly noticed that Linfair was sitting at the table behind her, holding a bowl of rice and staring straight at her.

Seeing Chloe turn around and look at her, she ate two more bites of rice.

(￣～￣)Chew!

"Keep going, it's quite appetizing."

……

Chapter Twenty-Six: Is this even possible? Damn it!

When did you sit there?

Seeing Linfair suddenly appear, Chloe was a little startled, but she still spoke calmly.

Although she was startled by Lin Feier's appearance, she realized that since Lin Feier was a master-level assassin, it was only natural that she could sneak up behind her silently.

"Oh, I was here when you were banging your head against the wall. By the way, I brought some for you too, want some?"

Linfair pointed to the food on the table and said to Chloe.

"eat!"

Chloe sat down directly opposite Linfair and started eating.

He didn't seem embarrassed at all.

It's just that you got caught doing something stupid, what's there to be embarrassed about? One of Chloe's beliefs is that as long as you're not embarrassed, it's always someone else who's embarrassed.

Seeing that Chloe didn't seem embarrassed at all, Linfiel's plan to tease Chloe was abruptly stopped.

Chloe didn't seem to care at all; she actually wanted to see them make a fool of themselves—it was a little embarrassing just thinking about it…

After finishing their meal, Chloe asked Linfair why she had come to see her.

"Hey, you idiot, shouldn't your mission be over? Why are you still looking for me?"

"What does 'idiot' mean? But let me tell you..."

Although Linfair couldn't understand Chloe's way of addressing her, the mention of the previous mission made her wide awake.

So, regardless of whether Chloe, this "little kid," could understand, she began to pour out her grievances.

"I was so stupid, really. I only knew that taking you to the Demon King's castle would complete the mission, but I didn't know that I had to report to Lady Rurum first... I was so stupid, really..."

Chloe agreed with what Linfair said.

I agree that she's foolish.

"So why did you come to see me? Can you get to the point?"

Seeing Linfair talking non-stop, Chloe interrupted her with a disdainful tone.

"Oh, this? Lady Lulum asked me to be your bodyguard... although I don't think you need my protection at all."

Seeing Chloe's somewhat impatient expression, Linfair wisely shut her mouth and continued eating.

"Protect? The kind that means never leaving your side?"

Upon hearing Linfair's words, Chloe's eyes lit up, and she asked with great interest.

"Probably, but it should be okay if I act a little more relaxed, right? Like this... I don't want to stand here with a long face all day, it's exhausting."

Lin Fei'er said in a lazy tone, clearly a declaration of slacking off.

Lulu understands me best; she simply sent her to me as a toy.

Clearly, Chloe understood instantly why Lulum had asked Linfiel to protect her.

It's like assigning her a servant who's available 24/7.

What? Trying to slack off? Haha, she's in a factory with 007 standards, and she thinks she can slack off with her IQ? She should just be a tool.

Chloe looked at Linfair's silly appearance and thought with a cold smile.

……

Chloe walked down the streets of the Demon King's castle... This time, she was wearing the ring that Lulum had made for her, so she hadn't committed any crime.

The ring Lulum Torinel gave her was a ring that could conceal one's presence, and it was even made by the Shadow King.

Item Name: Ring of Concealment

【Quality: Saint Level】

[Item Description: Handcrafted by the Shadow King of the Demon Clan, this item allows the wearer's presence to vanish into the shadows.]

[Note: Old Yin was ecstatic.]

It seems that Lulum already knew that Chloe had a passive charm ability, which was obviously not something that could be prepared immediately.

Although Chloe didn't ask Lulum, she could guess what Lulum's passive ability was based on the ring's effect.

It must be her aura; it naturally has a seductive effect.

We'll have to confirm with Lulum for the specifics, but as long as she's no longer a walking, talking drug user with the ring, that's fine.

As Lulum strolled through the streets of the Demon King's castle, she felt for a moment as if she had returned to a remote human town.

Although the Demon King's Castle doesn't appear as bustling as the human capital, it is full of life.

The residents here all have smiles on their faces, as if they are enjoying life.

This was completely different from the demon city she had heard about. The church had told her that demons were all barbarians who lived a life of hunting and gathering, barely surviving.

Blood and death are everywhere in the demon realm.

Now that I think about it, weren't those words just nonsense?

The problem is that she used to believe it wholeheartedly, and she has reason to suspect that she may have been brainwashed by the church without realizing it.

From what she's seen so far, the Demon King's Castle is indeed quite safe; she's been wandering around the castle for so long and hasn't encountered a single unexpected incident.

You see, back when she was still a hero, she would run into at least one robber, thief, or wanted criminal just by going out for a stroll. They would come to her with money... which meant capturing them to collect the reward. She wouldn't touch the stolen goods.

Although there's a reason she litters the identification papers all over the street, she can identify exactly who committed what crime.

Because when she is at a higher level, she can assess people of lower levels without the lower-level people noticing.

However, her strength among the demons is not that great now; even the demons selling pancakes on the roadside can be level 10 or higher.

How could she dare to carelessly discard the identification documents?

Now, she feels uncomfortable because she doesn't encounter any incidents while shopping or have any opportunities to earn extra money.

But just as she was thinking this, she bumped into an acquaintance.

This acquaintance was Ilesia, whom she had only known for two days.

Alesia seemed to be heading straight for Chloe, and immediately pounced on her.

Chloe was puzzled when Alessia suddenly grabbed her. Didn't Alessia say that her family usually didn't let her go out? Why was she so openly looking for me on the street today?

Before Chloe could ask Ilesia what was going on, Ilesia released Chloe and quickly hid behind her, saying, "Chloe, someone's trying to take me away! Help me!"

Huh? Someone actually dared to kidnap the vampire princess? Is there really such a good thing?

Chloe, who was feeling unwell, suddenly had a chance to be a hero and save the day, and she suddenly got excited.

If I save the vampire princess, can I ask the vampires for a bounty...? Pshaw, I'm saving a friend, why talk about money? Just invite me to the vampire clan, that way I can get even more...

Looking at the several demons dressed in matching black suits not far away, Chloe asked Ilesia, "Are they trying to capture you?"

Ilesia peeked out, nodded, and then immediately buried her face behind Chloe's back.

Chloe felt a chill down her spine, as if someone was taking a deep breath behind her, but she wouldn't say who it was.

Let's leave it at that for now. The most important thing right now is to take down those who want to capture Alesia.

"Three advanced level and two master level?"

Then there's nothing to be afraid of, it's time to go for it!

"Lin Fei'er, it's you I've chosen! Crush... I mean, take down those guys!"

Chapter Twenty-Seven: Rejecting Freebies

Chloe didn't understand why those people dared to be so arrogant, actually trying to kidnap the vampire princess from within the Demon King's castle.

And this happened in broad daylight! Are they pretending the police don't exist, or that the public is collectively nearsighted?

Or perhaps it's because of their sleep schedule that they treat daytime as night?

Based on the system's analysis, Chloe could easily figure out the races and ranks of those demons who wore the same uniforms.

Those who are successfully identified are high-level vampires, while those who fail are master-level vampires judging from their aura.

Within her field of vision, Chloe discovered a total of three high-level and two master-level vampires.

The vampires who had been identified immediately focused their attention on Chloe's location. Then, they collectively discovered Ilesia, who was pretending to be an ostrich behind Chloe, and gradually moved closer to Chloe.
