The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

Anyway, she has plenty of time to plead and cajole.

Then she really went back to her place to sleep.

After all, Chloe had been on edge since this afternoon, and the physical exertion from hitting people... even though her SP had recovered, she was still mentally exhausted.

Speaking of SP recovery... Chloe felt like she had forgotten something.

By the way, when she met the Demon King Muqia, was the Demon Sword still stuck in the ground and not pulled out?

Oh no, Lulum specifically warned me not to let the Elite Four know she possessed "Mistletoe"... Chloe felt like she'd gotten herself into trouble again...

……

“Your Majesty, both Myukia and I believe that Princess Chloe should be made aware of the Abyss’s existence, after all, she possesses that ‘Mistletoe’! Myukia personally witnessed Princess Chloe purifying the Abyss with ‘Mistletoe’.”

After Tepera and Myukia finished reporting on the disappearance of Shadow King Lucas, they brought it up with Lulum.

"Myucia knows too? Let's discuss this matter again... But I have another question... When Lucas first encountered that man in black, he managed to stall until you arrived to help him. How come he disappeared the second time he encountered the man in black without even asking for help? You were clearly nearby..."

Lulum, sitting on the throne, said something rather strange.

Although this was also the main matter, she successfully steered the conversation away from telling Chloe the secrets of the Abyss.

However, Tepera and Miucia couldn't figure out this problem either.

But then, Miukia pulled out a distorted gem that looked completely devoid of beauty and said to Lulum:

"By the way, Lady Lulum, this gem was given to me by Chloe. It was seized from a member of the Abyss Order. The things engraved on it are called 'runes' by Chloe, who says they have special power... Lucas's disappearance is very likely due to the power of these 'runes'... Do you have any clues about this stone?"

Miaoqia handed the rune gem to Lulum, who looked at it and said it was the first time she had ever seen one like it...

Just as Lulum was staring at the gem, a chaotic voice, whose gender and age were indistinguishable, appeared in her mind.

Searching for...the one I miss

"This is the whisper of the abyss... and it's so clear. Is this so-called 'rune' really a product of the abyss? What terrifying thing has the Abyss Order researched this time..."

Lulum looked at the runestone, her expression gradually becoming serious.

Upon hearing this sound, Lulum also learned how to use the runestone.

This is a gem that can find people, and the clearer the image of that person is in her mind, the greater the probability of finding them.

Speaking of the person she most wants to see... it's only the missing previous Demon King, who is also her mother.

Like the Four Heavenly Kings, Lulu didn't believe her mother was dead...

Even after several years, Lulum could still clearly remember her mother's face...

Just as Lulum was thinking this, the runestone actually reacted... This runestone actually found the face she was looking for and even gave her coordinates...

And these coordinates are ridiculously close.

"It's...right here in the academy?!"

Lulum suddenly stood up from the throne, her face showing a complex expression that was hard to tell whether it was shock, joy, or anger.

Chapter Ninety-Four: Waking Up to Find Myself a Father?!

Lulum's feelings are quite complicated right now.

She was pleased with the results of the search for the missing person using the Rune Stone.

The reason was that she had simply thought of her mother's face in her mind, and the "person-finding rune stone" was successfully activated.

This proves that her mother is indeed not dead; she still exists in this world.

But then she felt a surge of anger at the result.

Because this missing person rune not only found her mother, but also marked her in such an unexpected location.

Inside the Demon King Academy…isn’t this right under her nose?

If her mother is really inside the Demon King Academy, then wouldn't her mother have simply disappeared from her own home?

Are you kidding her?

Has her mother resorted to any means necessary to ensure she inherits the Demon King's throne?

This is why Lulum suddenly felt a surge of anger after her initial joy.

She even took the initiative to inherit the position of Demon King for the sake of the survival of the Demon Realm. If all of this was a lie told to her by her mother... she would really be angry!

However, Lulum still had doubts about the results of the search.

After all, this search runestone belongs to the Abyss Order, so the accuracy of the targets found and the locations marked is still debatable.

If her mother really is in the Demon King Academy, then why hasn't she shown herself yet? She has already fully inherited the position of Demon King, and it's too late for her to regret it.

If this missing person rune stone is just a random marking... then where is her mother? Or rather... is she still alive?

Therefore, Lulum's feelings can be described as very complicated.

She both hoped that the rune stone's result in finding the person was correct and that the result was wrong.

If that's true, it means her mother was indeed alright, but she had deeply deceived her.

If it's wrong, it means that her mother didn't resort to any means to make her inherit the Demon King's throne, but her whereabouts are unknown... or even her fate is unknown.

It can't be only half right, can it?

Regardless of the outcome, Lulu hopes her mother is alright. Although she and her mother have different ideas, it doesn't mean she doesn't love her mother.

So regardless of whether this missing person rune stone was reliable or not, she decided to go and check the marked coordinates herself.

"Speaking of which, why do these coordinates seem so familiar?" Lulum thought to herself.

……

There was a reason why Chloe gave the [Mystical Search Rune Stone] to the Demon King and asked her to give it to Lulum.

This runestone is fully charged. If given to Lulum, who is a god-level being, she might be able to study the operating principle of this runestone and the charging conditions of this runestone.

After all, no matter how much magic, energy, or even life force Chloe poured into the runestone that wasn't fully charged, there was no reaction whatsoever. She really didn't know what that so-called "mysterious energy" was.

If Chloe doesn't know how to charge them, these two runestones will be useless.

At that point, all we'll probably be able to do is nurture the system and then have it recycled.

Why didn't Chloe have Myukia give the partially charged [Space Jump Rune Stone] to Lulum so that Lulum could study its charging directly? Instead, why did Chloe have Myukia give Lulum the fully charged [Mystical Person Finding Rune Stone]?

That's because this runestone should be usable immediately, which might help Lulum.

Wasn't Shadow King Lucas missing? Maybe this missing person runestone can help Lulum and the others find him.

As for why Chloe doesn't use the runestone herself?

Because Chloe wasn't actually that familiar with Shadow King Lucas, after all, the time she had spent with Lucas was less than the time she had spent fighting with him on the battlefield...

Most importantly, the success rate of this thing, no matter what, is all about luck... Chloe is quite aware of her own luck.

Furthermore, although the item description states that the rune stone has a chance of success regardless of level, based on Chloe's many years of online gaming experience, skill descriptions that claim to have a success rate regardless of level usually conceal the level bonus.

When used by a higher-level user, the probability of success is likely to be much higher than that of a lower-level user.

So she decided to give the runestone to Lulum, who knew the Shadow King, was high-level, and had good luck, as she felt the success rate would be much higher that way.

As it turns out, in Lulum's eyes, this thing wasn't even a so-called "mystical rune stone for finding people," it was just a "rune stone for finding people."

This means that in the hands of Lulum, who is of god-like status, the success rate of using this item is 100%.

However, the accuracy... well, that's something Lulum herself will have to verify.

Chloe thought Lulum would use the runestone to find the missing Lucas immediately, but to Chloe's surprise, after learning the runestone's function, Lulum did not use it to find Shadow King Lucas immediately. Instead, she started looking for a "dead man" in Chloe's eyes.

And it seems they've actually found it, and the coordinates are in a place that both Lulum and she are familiar with...

However, whether Lulum found her mother... remains unknown to Chloe, who was asleep.

……

After burying the potato in the experimental field, Chloe returned to her residence and fell into a deep sleep.

Exhausted, she didn't even notice one thing: even though she wasn't using the Demon Sword, the contract mark on her body related to "mistletoe" was still emitting a faint green light.

Originally, after Chloe stopped using the Demon Sword to absorb energy, the light from these markings on her body would gradually dissipate, and the markings would be hidden.

Chloe didn't pay much attention to the green light emanating from the engraving before going to sleep, simply thinking that the light hadn't completely dissipated yet.

But this time, the light on the engraving showed no sign of fading.

Even the markings became increasingly clear on Chloe's skin and gradually spread throughout her entire body.

It looks extremely eerie.

It seems that these markings reacted to something.

However, Chloe was already fast asleep at this time and was completely unaware of the abnormality in her body.

But after these markings covered Chloe's entire body, they seemed to have encountered something they couldn't handle, and suddenly retracted to the left side of Chloe's body.

……

When Chloe woke up, she still felt extremely tired. Even though she had slept from night until the afternoon, her body didn't seem to have rested at all.

I feel like my body is being hollowed out.

But she really couldn't sleep anymore, so she decided to get up...

Just as she was about to get up, she found herself unable to move, as if she were experiencing sleep paralysis.

No, it wasn't sleep paralysis; there really was someone pressing down on her.

Chloe felt a pressure coming from her chest, so she immediately reached out and touched it.

Yes, that's confirmed, it's a little girl's head.

Every morning, the little girl who crawls into her blanket—you don't even need to guess who it is.

She realized why she felt so tired: it turned out that she had been used as a mattress by Ilesia all night.

Chloe couldn't help but frown.

Although she had gotten used to waking up in the morning to find a vampire loli in her bed these past few days, today Alesia went a bit too far!

It's one thing to use her as a pillow to sleep, but today you even used her as a mattress!

So Chloe simply reached out and pulled back the covers, saying as she did so:

"Ilesia! Why are you using me as a mattress... Wait, who are you?"

When Chloe pulled back the covers, all she saw was a black figure.

To be precise, she is a black-haired loli.

Isn't Ilesia blonde? When Chloe saw the small head of black hair perched on her chest, she was stunned for a moment before she realized... this wasn't Ilesia at all!

After Chloe pulled back the covers, the black-haired little girl lying on her chest also woke up.

She looked up and met Chloe's gaze. Before Chloe could ask who she was, she said in a somewhat confused tone:

Good morning, Dad!

"???"

Chapter Ninety-Five: Perhaps I've arrived at the wrong time...

Who is this child?! Why is he crawling into my blanket?

And why does she call me "Dad"? What's going on?

I don't think I could possibly be your father right now.

When the black-haired little girl in her arms suddenly called out "Daddy," Chloe was completely bewildered.

Although Chloe felt a little pleased to be called "Dad" by a little girl, something just didn't feel right!

She's just a little girl now, not the super handsome guy she used to be... wait, even if she were still a super handsome guy, she wouldn't have a daughter!

So why does the black-haired little girl in her arms call her "Dad"?

This little black-haired girl looks a bit bigger than her, is it appropriate to call her "Dad"?

Or is this black-haired little girl playing some strange punishment game? ...But this is my room, surely you don't play punishment games in someone else's room?
