The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

Wait, what the heck is this novel? I don't remember ever publishing a book.

And why do you remember it so clearly, officer?

Although Chloe didn't expect this seemingly rigid police officer to suddenly bring up novels, she was even more surprised that the novel contained her personal experiences... and it seemed to be quite widely circulated?

Chloe immediately told the officer that she wanted to read the novel… The officer was a little puzzled as to why Chloe suddenly wanted to read the novel, but to his surprise, she actually pulled a brand new novel out of her cleavage.

Chloe was utterly shocked by the officer's seemingly magical performance... Was this officer always ready to proselytize?

Chloe flipped through the book a few times and then closed it with a look of embarrassment.

Because all she could discern from the dense text in the book were three words: "dark history".

The book is filled with her dark history as a hero.

Lived in Bengbu.

Who exactly wrote down all my embarrassing past experiences in a book? Did they pay me any royalties?

Chloe thought to herself.

That's right, Chloe's biggest concern wasn't that her dark past was being leaked, but rather that she didn't receive any royalties.

……

"I've always felt this part is a bit unrealistic. How could a hero possibly spy on a saintess?"

"Novels always need some screen time for the hero and the saintess... (How come I don't remember ever spying on them?)"

"A hero should be able to look openly and honestly, after all, a hero is exceptionally brave."

"Really... wow, are you a stickler for historical accuracy?"

After receiving the novel, Chloe began discussing the plot with the police officer in the interrogation room.

Although Chloe hadn't read the book, she could basically understand the plot and tropes the policewoman described.

After all, these are all adapted from her real experiences, so it can't be said that they are similar to real people... it can only be said that they are her.

Furthermore, this policewoman is a meticulous researcher; she can deduce things that even the hero himself doesn't remember.

This made Chloe feel like she had met a kindred spirit.

Just as Chloe and the policewoman were having a lively discussion, the interrogation room door suddenly opened.

"Little sister, you can come out now... What are you doing?"

A male police officer walked in. Judging from his words, he was about to release Chloe, but seeing the female officer chatting so enthusiastically with Chloe, he couldn't help but ask a question.

"Oh? We were talking about novels," the policewoman replied calmly.

"A novel... wait, you didn't let a child read that book, did you? Put it away quickly!"

The male police officer quickly told the female officer to put the book away, but the female officer frowned and said, "I know you've read this book too, but how many times have I told you? I only use the abridged version for proselytizing, so I definitely won't be committing the crime of spreading the Silver Grey Erotic Music!"

What? There's an uncut version?! Could it be... R18? Chloe thought in shock.

However, she was not in shock for long before she realized something was wrong. Driven by a strong will to survive, she immediately shoved the book in her hand into the hands of the policewoman next to her.

Meanwhile, the male police officer, sweating profusely, continued to stammer, "N-no, it's not about whether it's been cut or not, it's...it's..."

"What is it? If you don't explain it to me clearly today, I'll let you taste what the power of knowledge is like?"

Upon seeing the beautiful, aloof-looking girl emerge from behind the male police officer, the female officer instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

"Holy... Holy Maiden... what brings you here?"

"May I take a look at that book?" Saint Eustia asked in a cold and unyielding tone.

Chapter 86 Oh dear, are you blushing?

Eustia... actually came to us on her own initiative?

Looking at the familiar figure in front of her, Chloe couldn't help but show a nostalgic expression.

But why does she seem to have lost so much weight?

Is she still heartbroken about not being able to save me?

Looking at Eustia, who was noticeably thinner than she remembered, Chloe thought helplessly.

Perhaps the fact that "he" died in Eustia's arms back then was a big blow to her?

Although I really want to see Eustia and the others' expressions when they see that I'm still alive, unfortunately, now is not the time to confront them.

Chloe sighed silently.

After all, her current identity is that of a demon, and she cannot maintain this disguise 24 hours a day.

Putting aside the question of whether a church saint who is extremely averse to demons can accept her demonic identity, even if she did, what difference would it make? Chloe can't stay in the human realm for long right now; Lulum is waiting for her to return, and the future of both humans and demons depends on her bringing the potatoes back.

In short, recognizing each other under these circumstances would not benefit either party.

It's better to pretend we're strangers for now... and then we can acknowledge Eustia later when the opportunity arises.

Anyway, she was already in the planning stage. She met with Eustia in advance and saw that although she had lost a lot of weight, her eyes were still so firm and full of hope. Chloe breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as she doesn't continue to grieve for someone who isn't dead yet... otherwise, something just feels off.

"Big sister, are you the saintess from the book who had 'that' kind of relationship with the hero? Is it true... Waaaaah..."

Chloe smiled and spoke to Eustia in a very natural tone. However, as soon as she finished asking her question, the policewoman standing to the side, sweating profusely and unsure how to face the saintess, quickly covered her mouth. Then, she hurriedly apologized to Eustia, saying, "Saintess, I'm so sorry! Children speak without thinking, please don't take it to heart..."

"Let me see that book..."

Eustia seemed completely unconcerned by Chloe's words, simply extending her hand and speaking coldly to the policewoman.

However, Chloe, who knew her well, could see Eustia's emotional changes.

Oh, are you blushing? You're still as easily teased as ever.

Chloe thought to herself as she looked at the faint blush on Eustia's face.

Fortunately, the policewoman covered most of Chloe's face, otherwise Eustia would have seen a comical face that she knew all too well.

In the past, every time she finished teasing Eustia, she would make this face to mock her; making this face was practically an unconscious reaction of hers.

However, the policewoman standing nearby was unaware of all this. Seeing Eustia's icy expression and tone, she assumed Eustia was angry. So, she quickly pulled Chloe aside and apologized, "I'm so sorry, Your Holiness. This child and I really didn't mean to offend you. We just blocked your pairing with the hero..."

"Let me see!" Seeing the policewoman still rambling on, Eustia, with her outstretched hand, spoke slowly and deliberately in that cold tone, which looked very intimidating.

How old are you? Why are you still so shy? Besides, we were just teammates back then. This is just a fictional couple created randomly in a work of fiction. What's there to be shy about?

Seeing Eustia's trembling pupils, Chloe's comical expression was almost slipping through the policewoman's fingers... No, she had to hold back.

Apart from Chloe, who knew that Eustia was about to explode with embarrassment, the two officers present thought that Eustia's patience had reached its limit.

So the male police officer who had been idling immediately stepped forward, snatched the novel from the female police officer's hand, and handed it to Eustia.

After receiving the book, Eustia flipped through it for a while, then looked up at the policewoman and asked, "Where can I buy an uncut version of this book?"

"???" x3

I never expected Eustia/the Saintess to be interested in this kind of novel. Is she planning to buy it and "judge" it?

The three people who had asked the question were surprisingly in sync at that moment.

……

After Chloe witnessed a transaction scene that was inappropriate for children, she was still led away by Eustia.

I heard that Eustia came to check on things after learning that the attendants she hadn't brought with her had been taken to the police station.

But who gave her the information is a secret.

Chloe was able to be released so quickly because of Eustia's guarantee.

Without Eustia's guarantee, she might have had to wait for orders from "above" before being released.

Unexpectedly, Eustia ultimately vouched for him and got him out...

That's right, this isn't the first time Eustia has vouched for her. In the past, every time she was arrested, Eustia was the one who vouched for her.

However, in Eustia's eyes, this was the first time she had sponsored a little girl.

A little girl was locked in an interrogation room on some inexplicable charge. There must be some misunderstanding involved, especially since she was arrested with her new attendant from the capital city...

Eustia had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on, which is why she directly vouched for Chloe.

"By the way, Saintess, where's Elena? I promised to bring her to see you..."

Once outside the police station, Chloe, who was standing with Eustia at the entrance, looked around. Since she didn't see Elena, she quickly asked Eustia.

You see, Elena is a key witness who saw the cult, the demons, and the church making deals. The fact that the cult, the demons, and the church were colluding together is clearly a huge conspiracy.

To put it simply, she'll have to tell Lulum about this when she gets back... I can only hope Elena is alright.

"Elena? She's alright. She's already been brought to my lodging. I only came to find you because I heard from her that there should be a little girl with her."

Eustia spoke to Chloe in the most amiable tone possible.

So Elena has already woken up? Then she must have told Eustia about this important matter, right?

Although Chloe really wanted to confirm with Eustia, she still needed to maintain her childlike persona in front of Eustia... otherwise, if her true nature were revealed, Eustia might notice something amiss, so it wasn't appropriate for Chloe to ask directly.

Just as Chloe was wondering how to subtly ask Eustia this question, Eustia suddenly cupped her small face in her hands and examined her closely.

"You look just like him..."

Chapter 87 It feels so quiet...

Like, like whom?

Chloe, whose face was suddenly cupped by Eustia, was a little confused.

Seriously? Even after all this, Eustia can still recognize me?

Even I can't see any resemblance between this white-haired loli and my past appearance. How did she recognize me?

Wait a minute, maybe Eustia wasn't talking about "me," but rather someone she knew?

"His eyes are just like that bastard's..."

Well, the only person the Holy Maiden could call a "bastard" is "me".

But what's with the eye contact? Such a mysterious thing... Well, this isn't a world that talks about science, so mysticism really does come in handy.

At least I really am a "jerk".

Chloe thought helplessly.

Now that Eustia has noticed something amiss, should she continue to play dumb or confront her directly?

Logically speaking, playing dumb would be the best solution, but she didn't know how to do it in a reasonable way.

Anyway, I'll just keep quiet for now. I can't exactly say I'm the daughter of the hero Liwen, can I...? Hmm? Well, maybe that's not impossible?

Chloe suddenly had this lewd idea...

However, she has no plans to carry out this lewd idea for the time being... after all, it could ruin her reputation in her later years!

Most importantly, Eustia's next words relieved her.

"You're a time traveler, aren't you?"

……

When Chloe was still a hero, she never hid her identity as a transmigrator... After all, she was summoned to this world, and she couldn't hide it even if she wanted to.

Although Chloe didn't know why Eustia categorized her as a time traveler based on her resemblance to "Liwen," fortunately, her true identity remained unexposed.

After seeing Chloe's "acquiescence," Eustia released her hands from Chloe's face and left without looking back, saying, "Leave this city as soon as possible..."

"Leave as soon as possible? I'd like to, but I still have to wait for someone to pick me up... Speaking of which, I don't think I told Lulum exactly where I am... No, I don't even know exactly where I am."

Thinking of this, Chloe quickly picked a passerby at random and asked, "Excuse me, ma'am, what's the name of this city?"

The passerby, taken aback by the question, paused for a moment, but after looking at Chloe with starry eyes and an expectant expression, slowly replied, "This is Utan City..."

And so Chloe got the name "Utan City," a name that made her eyes twitch and left her speechless for a moment.

Having obtained the city's name, she quickly slipped into a deserted alley. After confirming that no one was around, Chloe activated the teleportation scroll to contact Lulum.

Lulum quickly got through to Chloe.
