However, Shinobu Oshino suddenly remembered what happened during the day, so she pouted unhappily and then relayed someone's words to Leo.

"You idiotic servant, the 'Wicked King' needs to see you. He wants to meet you tomorrow."

"Eh...Mr. Midoriya?"

Chapter 63 Daily Life (Part 2)

The next morning, after sending a text message to Klaus asking for leave, Leo arrived at the destination as agreed, just as Shinobu had relayed.

The city park of "Helsaremz Roth" seems to be the only peaceful sanctuary in this abnormal and chaotic city. There are basically no criminal conflicts here, and both otherworldly beings and human parents like to bring their children here to relax and vacation.

Leo, who had rushed here, looked around and spotted the person who had invited him here, "The King of Extreme Evil," who was sitting on a bench by the fountain.

Izuku Midoriya scatters breadcrumbs in his hand onto the ground beside him, while pigeons that have flown to the ground surround him. The cute blonde Abigail is also trying to feed a pigeon with the breadcrumbs in her hand, but the pigeon keeps cooing and is not very willing to approach Abigail.

"Mr. Midoriya, is there something you need from me?"

"Leo, you're here..."

Upon seeing Leo, the boy with the "God's Eye" whom he had invited, Midoriya casually tossed the remaining bread crumbs on the ground, causing a flock of pigeons to fly around in a flurry, and began to speak.

"I'm preparing to leave 'Helsaremz Roth'."

"Sigh! Is Mr. Midoriya leaving already?... Didn't you say you were going to prepare to observe and test 'Libra'?!"

"Hmm...you're right. Then let 'Fallen King' Fimu take over to observe and test you on my behalf."

Seeing that this "Extremely Evil King" looked thoughtful, Leo immediately wanted to tear his mouth apart. Why did he have to bring up such a sore subject?

"Haha~~ I was just kidding. If that bastard Fimto were to cause trouble, who knows how many people would be implicated. I'll tell him to tone it down before I leave."

As usual, he tricked Leo once, but this time Midoriya didn't hear Leo's signature sarcastic remark. The boy with the "God's Eye" opened his mouth but didn't know what to say, and finally could only ask the "Worst King".

"Mr. Midoriya, are you really leaving...? I thought you'd be living in this city for a long time..."

"Well... this isn't my home after all. I only planned to stay here for a while, and now it's about time I said goodbye."

"This...but..."

Seeing Leo's hesitant expression, Midoriya found it amusing and teased him.

"My leaving this city isn't a good thing for Libra, so why are you making that face?"

"How could that be—I've received so much help from you, Mr. Midoriya, during this time. I'm so grateful!"

"But ultimately, I am also one of the thirteen kings of another world, and my goal may be similar to that of the 'King of Despair'—to destroy this city."

The "Wicked King" has arrived at Helsaremz Lot's original target. Everyone in Libra knows this. This "Wicked King," who seems like both an enemy and a friend, is hard to fathom. Perhaps the Thirteen Kings of the Otherworld are beings that ordinary people cannot understand.

Despite having only known each other for a very short time, and being merely acquaintances... not even friends, Leo chose to believe in "The Worst King" and trust Mr. Midoriya, who had always helped him.

“Mr. Midoriya, you are a good person. The ‘Allergy King’ told me how to restore my sister’s eyesight… Although it seems a bit far-fetched for me, I know it was you, Mr. Midoriya, who helped me.”

During the game where Leo was captured by "Allergy King" to experience a real-life version of "Dark Souls," he was told by Izuku Midoriya the clue to achieving the "Extinguish the Fire" ending. Only then did he and Klaus finally choose to achieve the "Extinguish the Fire" ending. Leo isn't stupid... you can tell who was helping them all along.

"A good person?...Maybe..."

Without dwelling too much on the jokes with Leo, Izuku Midoriya called Leo out primarily to inform him of his impending departure, and secondly, there was another matter...

"Last time, when I rescued you from the 'Vampire King'... no, now I should call you Shinobu Oshino, anyway, when I couldn't find her location, I made a deal with the 'King of Despair.'"

"What...!"

Only now did Leo realize what had happened. Midoriya himself didn't care, since the transaction didn't cause any loss to the "Worst King," but it was still necessary to inform Leo.

"The terms of the deal were that I obtained information about Shinobu Oshino's location at the time, and that I could not interfere in order to stop the 'King of Despair' from carrying out a second 'Great Collapse' against Helsaremz Loth."

"Then... Mr. Midoriya, you left... could it be because of...!"

"Oh, well, it's just that I should go home now. I've been traveling in this city for so long, it's time to go back."

After hearing Izuku Midoriya's answer, Leo almost fainted. This reason for leaving was too normal... He had completely overthought things.

"Anyway, I'll leave the matter of 'King of Despair' to you. I'm going home now... Come back to this city sometime, and hopefully 'Helsaremz Lot' will still be around then."

"Don't say such unlucky things! It's like we're all doomed!!"

Hearing Leo's signature loud and boisterous complaints, Midoriya finally smiled. This was exactly how daily life with this "ordinary" boy should be.

"Remember what I'm about to say."

The conversation suddenly turned serious as Izuku Midoriya changed the subject, and Leo quickly listened attentively to what the "Worst King" had to say.

"Shinobu is a very vengeful person. You know what she's going to do, right?"

"Uh... I understand."

"The 'Fallen King' Fimtor is an unreliable guy. He'll definitely try to cause trouble after I leave. Remember to kick him into the 'Eternal Void' for me."

"How could I possibly do that?!"

"If Half-Life 4 comes out, remember to pre-order a copy for me."

"If 'Helsaremz Roth' explodes! I'll pre-order it for you with my life!!"

Of the three sentences, two left Leo speechless. At this point, Izuku Midoriya got up, dusted off the bread crumbs on his clothes, and then, holding the obedient Abigail's hand, prepared to leave. Before leaving, he left Leo with one last sentence:

"Although the 'Vampire King' is very old, Shinobu is just a young girl right now. Pushing her down is illegal... I don't want to see you in jail when I come back."

"Damn it! Take a look at Abby you're holding before you speak, Mr. Midoriya, you'd better watch out or you might end up in jail first!!"

Midoriya and Leo's pleasant chat came to an end, marking the temporary conclusion of the "Worst King's" journey in this world.

PS: (Author's Note)

Midoriya: "Leo, the protagonist's abilities have limits. I've learned one thing from my short life... the more involved you are in the story, the more you'll realize that the protagonist's abilities have limits... unless you surpass the protagonist."

Leo: "Mr. Midoriya... what exactly are you trying to say!?"

Midoriya: "I'm not going to be the main character anymore, Leo!"

(Running away with adorable Abigail)

Midoriya: "You're the chosen protagonist of this volume!"

Leo: "I have a feeling... I'm going to get into some really troublesome stuff..."

Midoriya: "No problem, you'll get used to it!"

Leo: "How could anyone possibly get used to this?!"

Chapter 64 Shinobu is cute too!

"So...Lord Midoriya left 'Helsaremz Lot', is that right..."

"Hmm... after saying that the matter of the 'King of Despair' was to be handled by us, they left."

Inside the Libra headquarters, Leo told Mr. Klaus about what he had learned from his meeting with "The Wicked King," and at that moment, the Libra leader was also deep in thought about the situation.

"It seems like a mixed bag... We won't be able to get any help from this 'Extremely Evil King' anymore, but at least we've avoided the possible fate of Helsaremz Lot being destroyed."

"I'm drinking coffee," Stephen commented, while Zapp, standing to the side, barked like a vicious dog.

"Haha—that 'Extremely Evil King' is probably afraid of making an enemy of Libra, afraid that I'll beat him to a pulp!"

Leo was speechless at Zapp's smug and devilish facial expressions. If this guy is so capable, why doesn't he show off in front of people? What kind of person is he who only knows how to act like a big shot behind their back?

Leo immediately put on a look of mixed surprise and joy, pointed at the elevator door of "Libra" and shouted:

"Ah! Mr. Midoriya, you've arrived!?"

"Ugh—uh!"

Zapp, his heart pounding in his chest, collapsed to the ground, pale-faced, completely unaware that Leo had tricked him. Meanwhile, the unbearable werewolf "Money King," unable to stand by and watch, stomped on Zapp's face without a word. Unable to tolerate Leo's indifference in his joke, Money King decided to kick him while he was down...

Putting aside Zapp's despicable personal prejudice, Klaus seriously considered the recent movements of the "King of Despair," but he still couldn't get any information from the Sorcerer's Association about any anomalies in the "barrier."

"Did Lord Midoriya give any instructions before he left?"

"Yes, there is... Mr. Midoriya asked me to help kick the 'Fallen King' into the eternal void."

"Nonsense! Why doesn't he just jump in himself? That would be much easier."

Zapp, who had just woken up, answered, though there was a clear shoe print on his face. Even Zapp, a scumbag, knew that this was obviously a joke and completely unreliable. Leo also honestly conveyed Izuku Midoriya's true meaning to everyone.

"It means letting the 'Vampire King' know that the 'King of Despair' betrayed information; perhaps this will indeed bring us unexpected help."

After analyzing and thinking it over, Mr. Stephen thought the idea was pretty good, and the cunning man raised his hand to show his support.

"To stoop so low as to seek help from that blonde little girl, how utterly beneath them!"

Zapp, who was severely injured by the "Vampire King" and kicked in the foot by Shinobu, felt that this was unacceptable. He declared that even if he died from exhaustion, he would jump off the Eternal Void rather than accept any help... The "Vampire King" is truly awesome!

"All in all, this is a good idea. Leo, have you tried it?"

Klaus, the leader of "Libra," also thought this approach was worth a try. However, when he asked Leo about it, he saw the boy with the "God's Eye" awkwardly scratching his head.

"Not yet... I mainly wanted to discuss it with you first, and also..."

................

"Hey...did you and Shinobu have a fight?"

"It happened last night... because I said, 'Suddenly I don't find you so annoying anymore, you're actually quite cute...' and then she started throwing a tantrum and ignoring me."

Yesterday, when Shinobu was throwing a tantrum, she not only didn't go back to Leo's shadow to rest, but she also took over the poor boy's bed. Leo had to sleep on the floor all night. This morning, when he was leaving, she suddenly kicked him hard, causing him to fall flat on his face.

The people of Libra didn't think it was a big deal and went about their own business, while KK's mother, who was talking to Leo, was giving him a serious and earnest lecture.

"Children are very sensitive to their guardians' words and opinions. Leo, your words made Shinobu feel like you used to 'hate' her, which is why she's so angry with you, right?"

"But... ever since I bumped into her, I haven't had any good luck at all. I've been incredibly unlucky lately... and I've even got a little devil to take care of at home."

"Seriously...that's why guardians face so much hardship and helplessness. After all, children can't understand the heavy responsibilities adults bear. My child is the same way...Mom works so hard too~~~"

KK, the blonde mother, had unknowingly steered the conversation towards her beloved child. Perhaps she saw a similar sense of empathy in the poor Leo. But getting back to the point... KK still very seriously corrected and explained to Leo:

"From the perspective of the racial concepts of the Blood Realm's familiars, the 'Vampire King' who transformed you is actually a role similar to your mother, so being hated by your own child would be very frustrating... probably?"

"Probably my foot! Am I raising a brat as a mother?! Besides, I haven't even become a vampire yet—please respect my feelings as the person involved!!"

Leo was almost on the verge of collapse. It seemed like nothing good ever came of bumping into this blonde little girl... Was he cursed with bad luck whenever he encountered a blonde girl?!

"That's not quite it... In short, the relationship between you and Shinobu is very complicated, a bond that outsiders can't understand. Perhaps this is the fate you two bear..."

"Um... Aunt KK... have you been watching too many romance soap operas lately?"

"Call me Sister KK! You little rascal!!"

One punch sent a huge bump swollen up on Leo's head. Keep in mind, even a baseball bat couldn't budge this boy's head now. Truly, she's worthy of being KK's boss...

"Buy some apologies and go home to apologize. You know, girls usually forget about what upset them when they eat their favorite food."

"really?"

"Huh!? Would I lie to you?!"

Terrified by KK's tigress-like roar, Leo turned and ran. But he decided to follow the boss's instructions and see if he could get the angry blonde girl to forgive him.

Leo, who had bought a big bag of donuts, carefully opened the door and looked up to enter... only to find that Shinobu wasn't home.

"Huh... Where is Shinobu?"

"Foolish servant, I'm here!"

Shinobu Oshino, who had been hiding on the rooftop, stomped Leo's head, who was peeking out, to the ground. She then caught the tribute that the silly servant had brought home, her movements elegant and deserving full marks.

"I'll forgive your disrespect last night, since you brought me donuts, you stupid servant."

Just as KK's mother said, Shinobu, who was eating a donut, smiled happily and forgave Leo for his words of mistake the night before... However, the boy, whose face was still on the ground, was trembling violently with anger.

"How could I possibly forgive him...?"

"You annoying brat! I'm going to teach you a lesson today—Aaaaaah!!"

Leo, who had been holding back until his limit, and Shinobu, who was quick and agile, began their usual playful and teasing day.
