The Hero Reborn as a Demon King Loli

And it even carries a sense of being ready to die...

Seeing Ilya's expression, Chloe fell silent. Since Ilya seemed so serious, she decided to listen to Ilya's explanation first.

……

Ilya's thoughts were initially similar to Chloe's. After all, she had been living by imitating the way of thinking of "Brave Levin" for many years, so it was normal for their thoughts to be similar.

That's why she and Chloe said things like "it's not a big problem" in unison.

Ilya also admitted that what she just said was imitating "Liwen's" way of thinking, and theoretically there should be no reversal.

But why did she decide to contact Eustia after thinking it over?

This brings us to the issue of information asymmetry.

The reason she changed her mind was that while imitating "Li Wen's" way of thinking, she also added the information she knew.

Those are things that neither "Brave Levin" nor Chloe knows now.

It has to be said that she does know "a little bit" more than her "elder brother," and it is precisely because she knows "a little bit" more that, after adding a little more information, she still felt it would be better to contact Eustia and the others.

After all, if nothing goes wrong, things will be fine, but if something does go wrong, it won't be as simple as we initially thought...

At least she could imagine Eustia turning to the dark side, while her older brother couldn't.

As for the information she knows, besides the well-known fact that the saintess likes heroes, what else does she know?

It's hard to explain in detail, but to put it simply, it's like... they really thought her novels were made up?

Those are all adapted from real events, although they're heavily modified, some things in them are actually true...

Especially emotions.

Even the tough guys in the hero's party... cough cough.

If their feelings for the hero were merely those of ordinary comrades-in-arms, they might find it unbelievable, they might be angry, or they might gather a large force to search for the hero's body, but they would never... go crazy.

Try to put yourself in her shoes. If she learned that her brother's body had been stolen without knowing he had been resurrected... she would absolutely go crazy, let alone the rest of the team...

You never know what terrifying things a few crazed Saint-level beings might do when they get together... They might even take their wrath out on the elven Holy Kingdom, where the corpses of heroes are buried...

"No, this absolutely won't do. If Big Brother finds out they're going to cause trouble, he'll be so angry he'll come back to life... oh, he already is. Anyway, if it were Big Brother, he definitely wouldn't want humanity to become chaotic because of him... After all, he's a hero, right? It's impossible... Even if he likes causing trouble, he wouldn't..."

Ilya shook her head gently, deciding not to think about the matter too much.

All she wanted to do now was contact Eustia and the others as soon as possible, and then...

Then what could she say to Eustia and the others?

Ilya became somewhat confused again.

She couldn't tell her about her brother's resurrection, and she definitely couldn't tell her about his grave being dug up... After all, she only contacted her because she didn't want Eustia and the others to know that her brother's grave had been dug up.

If we just tell them that our brother's grave has been dug up, they'll probably be blown up!

And then they'll ask her: How did you know?

How should she answer? She didn't know who the criminal was; her older brother had told her all of this.

She can't reveal that her older brother is alive... so how can she explain it?

Ilya was in a bit of a dilemma.

It seems that all she can do now is accept Eustia's invitation to "visit the grave" and then stall for time as much as possible...

The brave warriors... although she wasn't sure if it was all of them, they were definitely on their way to the Holy Kingdom of the Elves, or at least they had arrived there. Eustia was definitely there.

Although she could agree to Yustia's request to visit the hero's grave, she could then use the excuse of being far away to delay her arrival in the Elven Holy Kingdom by a few days, thus stalling for time.

But what's the point of dragging this out? It doesn't solve the problem at its root... Unless they don't discover the hero's body was stolen, or something unexpected happens, they'll definitely blow it up...

Wait… blow it up? Maybe I could…

Thinking of this, Ilya suddenly looked down and stared blankly at her palm... She suddenly had a bold idea.

Yeah, just blow them all up, wouldn't that solve the problem?

Chapter 126 This World Is Too Chaotic

Yes, just blow them all up and let the flames purify everything...

Ilya thought about it and realized that it was indeed feasible.

If I also go to the cemetery, and blow everything up before they realize something is wrong, wouldn't that solve the problem?

Thinking of this, Ilya suddenly became excited.

Since there was no body of her older brother in that grave, she had no qualms about blowing it up. And whenever she imagined what those guys would look like when she blew up her older brother's grave, she felt inexplicably excited.

As long as she blows up the grave and "destroys the evidence," no matter how angry they are, they will only blame her. Then, as long as she makes a quick getaway and they calm down, she can find an opportunity to explain to them... It would be best if her older brother could explain to them.

Although there is a very high probability that I will be hunted down... probably a 1000% probability.

Thinking of this, Ilya couldn't help but shudder, and a hint of fear appeared in her originally excited eyes.

After all, they were teammates, and she knew their abilities inside and out... Ilya felt that the probability of successfully escaping was extremely low.

Although she was being hunted down by her angry teammates, they might spare her life out of consideration for their past relationship, but she would definitely suffer a lot. As for what kind of suffering... Ilya said she didn't want to recall it, and the fear in her eyes intensified.

And they will definitely press her to tell her why she did it.

With the "sage" around, she simply can't lie... If she gets caught, she'll have no choice but to sell her older brother out...

Should she gamble on that mere 80% chance of success?

Ilya became conflicted.

Actually, that wasn't the only thing troubling her. Another thing that troubled her even more was that if she did that, wouldn't she be taking the blame for the person who stole her brother's body?

Ilya said she could do without her brother's body, but she could not accept letting the person who stole it go unpunished.

But if she doesn't take the blame, who knows what those furious guys will do.

A saintess can disrupt the church, a sage can overturn an empire, and an elf princess... can burn down the elf forest with them.

There are others...

If the demons were to take advantage of the situation and invade again...

She's probably going to swear allegiance to the Demon King on the spot.

With this in mind, Ilya's gaze hardened.

She'll take the blame! But she won't let the criminal get away with it either.

If the person who stole the corpse intends to use the hero's corpse to cause trouble, there will definitely be witnesses...

So Ilya decided to use all her connections at her disposal... namely, the fans of her novels, to find clues about the hero.

Mobilizing fans to find clues is certainly no less efficient than the Imperial Intelligence Network... after all, the Imperial Intelligence Network must also have her fans.

Perhaps a wise sage will discover the problem then and help her find it…

So Ilya told Chloe all her thoughts... but she avoided talking about emotional factors.

If her older brother finds out that those people have special feelings for her... then what chance does she have?

……

After listening to Ilya's long explanation, Chloe finally understood Ilya's thoughts.

Although Ilya's idea was a bit violent, it was actually quite good.

Destroying the "hero's" grave completely would neither reveal that the "hero" had been resurrected, nor would it prevent those idiotic teammates from doing anything rash after learning that her body had been stolen.

Furthermore, Chloe didn't tell Ilya that the one who stole her body was a demon... If those idiot teammates knew that a demon had stolen her body from the Elf's homeland... then both the Elf and the Demon would suffer.

And the war between humans and demons might reignite because of this.

Even if the probability of this happening is as small as winning the lottery (in my opinion), this plan is indeed a safety net, and Chloe has no reason not to agree with Ilya's idea.

Although Chloe agreed with Illya's idea, she still jumped up and gave Illya a sharp rap on the head.

"Hey you, if you want to go fry things, just do it! Why overthink it? All this talk about taking the blame... that's not like you at all. Also, I'll take care of my health, so don't worry about it."

After Chloe finished tapping, she put her hands behind her back, looked up at the ceiling, and said in a lecturing tone.

Chloe tapped Illya on the head simply to reassure her and dispel any strange worries she might have.

However, Chloe could understand why Ilya was so encouraging. After all, Ilya didn't know enough about her side of the trust, or rather, there were still many things she hadn't explained to Ilya.

In other words, there is still a significant information gap between Ilya and her.

For example, her biggest concern, the demon invasion... was just worrying for nothing.

And why would those idiot teammates cause chaos for the human race over "his" corpse? Are they crazy?!

Even if there's a one in a billion chance they'll act crazy, the demons won't "take advantage of the situation."

Because Lulum, as the Demon King, had no intention of attacking the human race.

Although Ilya was worrying unnecessarily, she inadvertently hit the nail on the head... In any case, if her bumbling teammates discovered that it was a demon who stole "his" corpse, they would definitely start a war...

In short, Chloe just needs Ilya to do what she wants to do and not to put too much pressure on herself.

Ilya, who had been tapped on the head by Chloe, didn't feel much pain, but having been tapped like this many times before, tears welled up in her eyes instinctively. She said to Chloe in a pitiful tone:

"Think before you act, isn't that what you've always taught me, brother?"

"...That's why I said you need to use your brain more...What I mean is, you just go blow up that damn grave, then run away, and I'll take care of the rest, understand?"

Chloe sighed, rubbing her forehead.

I never expected Ilya to actually use what she taught her to make sarcastic remarks... She's really improved.

After hearing Chloe's words, Ilya suddenly realized and said, "But big brother, it seems like you can't be of much help right now, can you? In the end, I'll still have to clean up my own mess..."

"...When did she become so smart?" Chloe thought, her lips twitching. Because what Ilya said was indeed partly true...she couldn't very well just tell Ilya, "Come to the Demon Realm, I'll protect you," could she?

But... it doesn't seem like it's impossible?

Anyway, after Ilya's actions, there's no place for her among the humans for the time being... so why not take this opportunity to bring her on board?

She just happened to need a cash cow... I mean, a powerful bodyguard.

Chapter 127 Hero? It's none of my business!

Chloe already had a plan on how to lure Ilya to the Demon Realm to be her bodyguard.

Anyway, Ilya has basically decided to go and sweep her grave. Once her idiot teammates notice anything suspicious, she will immediately turn "sweeping the grave" into "blowing up the grave".

If she really does something so reckless, she'll definitely have to run away and hide.

Then she can just kidnap Illya and take her to the Demon King's castle, right?

Then we'll lock her in a dark room to write, and the money will keep flowing in... cough cough... It's just being her "agent" to contact "publishers" on the human side and collect royalties for her. I suppose she in the demon realm wouldn't be able to refuse... in every sense of the word.

In short, that's what Chloe was thinking, but these are things she'll have to consider after Ilya actually blows up her grave.

Before that, Chloe needed to discuss the next steps with Ilya.

After all, even if Ilya decided to blow up her grave, she couldn't just sit there and wait, could she?

Chloe hadn't forgotten that her initial goal was to return to the Demon Realm.

After all, given her current status, it's still not entirely appropriate for her to stay in human territory.

Moreover, she left without saying goodbye this time. Although she was forced to, Lulum and the others are still waiting for her to come home.

However, just as Chloe was about to discuss the specific arrangements with Illya, Lulum suddenly contacted her.

Chloe had no choice but to temporarily stop her discussion with Ilya... and asked Ilya to cast a soundproof barrier on her.

This time is not the time she agreed to contact Lulum yesterday, which means that Lulum must have something urgent to do.

Chloe's act of asking Illya to create a soundproof barrier was essentially a threat to Illya's life, preventing her from eavesdropping. After all, Illya couldn't hear what Chloe was talking about with Lulum yet.

It wasn't that Chloe didn't trust Ilya, but rather that if Ilya overheard certain things, Chloe was afraid Ilya wouldn't be able to handle them...

After all, it would be a bit difficult for Ilya to accept the fact that she had become a demon "princess" in an instant... She was afraid that Ilya would laugh herself to death on the spot.

……

"That must be Lulum, the one Big Brother mentioned who turned her into a succubus, right? She's quite cute... but a half-grown loli becoming Big Brother's 'mother'... Pfft, it's funny just thinking about it."
