On my way back to the dorm I ran into a considerably glowing Elinalise and Cliff.
"Oh my Rudeus, what was the disturbance about?"
"Umm, what were you guys doing?"
"Exactly what you think we were doing." [8]
Elinalise was laughing with a "hohoho", and Cliff went bright red and got angry with a, "Don't say anything unnecessary!"
It seems that the two were opening an adult meeting while the Demon King was invading.
They sure are happy.
"Just now, Badigadi-sama challenged me to a duel and I somehow managed to win."
"Eh!! That guy has already come here!?"
....Already?
What the heck do you mean by already?
"Did you know? That he would come?"
"Yes, but, he was being restrained by the Ogres, it seemed he wanted to stay there for a little while so I went on ahead myself. Look, those sorts, they're pretty loose with time right? Which is why I thought he wouldn’t move for another 10 years or so? In reality, the time when we separated was two years ago after all.."
If you've lived for denominations in the thousands of years, I guess your sense of time would deviate.
In my previous life, even though I passed thirty years, time felt like it passed quite quickly.
The denomination is just a bit large.
"But, he was a good guy right?"
"He didn't seem like a bad person."
Among the nobles and royalty that I've met he was a top class good person.
He laughs well after all.
He did break his promise but, if you think of the difference between one hit and one strike then that is fine as it is.
"Hey, what are you talking about?"
"Oh my oh my, Cliff you, are you jealous? It's alright, right now, the only one whom my heart can love is just you."
"No, not that, ah, don't stick so close, Rudeus is watching isn't he?"
"I'm showing him."
Since they had started flirting, I dispersed from that location.
From behind I heard a loud voice yelling, "There's no way a Demon King would come to a place like this right?"
I thought the same until just a short while ago.
