"That's it...that's really a pity."
Gu Mo shrugged casually, without forcing it, as if he just asked casually, and Amelia's rejection was also expected. Or should I say, everything was within his expectations, he just had to play his current role well.
Of course.
What happened next also proved his idea.
"Uh... um, um, otherwise, I'd better go take a look..."
The rose-red long-haired girl opposite suddenly became a little nervous. Her eyes were wandering and she looked in other directions uncertainly. She seemed to be very embarrassed about her sudden change of words. After all, she had just That’s why I refused...
——But...but...
——There is nothing we can do about this, right?
She couldn't help but grit her teeth, feeling that she still couldn't let go of this opportunity. Although the magic power fluctuation just now was very subtle, she just noticed the flash of strange feeling for no reason... Different air environments were filled with The "Great Source" should be a special form of energy controlled by an individual.
This is a very important discovery!
Also a very valuable clue!
This alone was enough to lift Amelia's spirits. She was very determined to put aside the physical and mental exhaustion caused by a full day's work and the large amount of negative emotions she received because of her customer service job. Feelings, etc., all these things are left behind, and I become full of motivation in an instant.
Must go and see it!
She also thought about it and wanted to sneak over later to avoid embarrassment, but she felt that this was unrealistic. After all, she couldn't use much power, and it would be difficult to hide herself through magic. And the place over there is so big, I guess I will still be bumped into by the landlord.
That would not avoid embarrassment, but increase the intensity...
She could only change her words. Although it seemed a bit strange, at least it would not be too rude - she refused someone else's invitation and said she wanted to go back to rest, but she secretly ran to take a look... Doesn't this seem... Is it too rude?
Maybe it will cause others to misunderstand and think that you are dissatisfied.

"Ahhhhh, my love riding the Dullahan, cheer up..."
On the other side of the city, on a remote path not too far from the street here, a young worker wearing a McDonald's uniform, the former devil Satan, now known as Maou Sadao, knelt down with a broken face. I looked at my bicycle lying on the side of the road.
The chain was broken, and the remaining parts were tightly twisted together...
It appears to be an extremely complex and messy state that makes it difficult to start.
The food box in the back seat of the car was also thrown open. The fast food that was supposed to be sent out was now thrown to the floor. It looked so messy, messy, and broken... just like the heart of the Demon King.
"..."
"..."
Staring blankly at this fragmented scene, Demon King Satan or Maou Sadao felt powerless, and at the same time he couldn't help but feel a sense of panic in his heart - he just messed up the matter, could he? The store manager is very dissatisfied, will wages and bonuses be deducted...
It’s over, it’s over! How to live like this!
He became more and more sad, recalling the hardships during this period, and suddenly felt that Alexander felt suffocated and breathless.
The passers-by who came and went naturally saw this scene. They all cast either sympathetic or indifferent looks.
Some people couldn't help but sigh, lamenting the difficulty of working as a worker. Adults often collapse in an instant. Of course, some people were unmoved. After all, they had been killing fish in RT-Mart for ten years, and their hearts It's already as cold as the knife in my hand.
It's just that no one can imagine that such a young man who seems to be on the verge of collapse due to setbacks and blows at work is actually a demon king from another world. He has ravaged many countries and continents on his own, which is terrifying. exist.
Now Maou Sadao was just shaken by the blow, his eyes were shaking violently, he looked completely at a loss, and he stood helplessly on the spot.
What kind of demon king, these are all false!
He can't control it now!
In order to build up strength again, he and Alsiel had to divide the work and cooperate. After all, if both of them were working part-time, there would be no time to track down other things. Having a keen insight into this, Maou Sadao decisively asked his most trusted demon marshal to stay at home, responsible for the work of househusband and finding a way to restore magic power.
In this case, the main source of income can only be supported by his own salary, which can be said to be very difficult financially.
Unprecedented huge pressure fell on Maou Sadao's shoulders, almost suffocating him——
It even feels like the fate of the entire demon clan is much heavier than before... This is really outrageous. Just as he is staring at the mess on the ground now, many terrible things inevitably appear in his mind. When the scene came, everyone's face turned green.
Will wages be deducted?
Will he be fired?
Can the savings last until next month? The rent has not yet been paid, thanks to the kind-hearted landlord who allowed me and others to owe it... and the last medical expenses, which were also paid by the landlord first, plus expenses such as electrical expenses...
Hahahahaha, how long can I live...
Shedding bitter tears, the Demon King from another world only felt that after a little calculation of his current financial pressure, his entire consciousness was blurred.
"Well?!"
At this moment, he suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction in the distance.
Wait, this feeling is...
After being stunned for half a second, Maou Sadao finally allowed his dull and confused brain to start functioning again. For a moment, he vaguely relied on instinct to think of the key point!
magic! Yes, it's magic!
If you can restore your magic power, then you can use magic to repair the bicycle, restore the dropped restaurant, and erase this matter as if it never happened, right? That’s right! That’s it, this way you won’t have your wages deducted! !
Probably due to excessive mental pressure, Maou Sadao came to such a subtle conclusion in a daze. He decisively picked up the bicycle and put it on the side of the road, then turned around and ran in that direction!
…………
…
at the same time.
In that bustling baseball field.
Kusanagi Godou felt the joy of sweating for the first time in a long time. He put down his baseball bat and wiped the sweat from his head. Even though he was out of breath, he felt extremely fulfilled.
Perhaps this is the most correct choice...
I really shouldn’t have left the stadium…
An idea came to his mind, and he smiled happily while looking around. The reason why he came back to this golf course was that firstly, he was really not willing to do so, and secondly, he made an excuse for himself, saying that he came here to see if he could meet the strange guy that day...
At least give something back to the other person.
For this reason, Kusanagi Godou convinced himself to come here every day and walk around a few more times. Then he was naturally invited by his former friends and joined the happy golf course again.
I didn't find anyone, but I didn't miss a day playing ball...
It was the same now. While he was stopping to rest, he took a quick glance around, but found nothing. Shaking his head, Kusanagi Godou looked away. Just when he was about to continue, he caught a glimpse of a figure out of the corner of his eye.
That's a teenager.
There is a very strange feeling in my body.
He is about fourteen or fifteen years old, with dark hair that reaches his shoulders, ivory skin, and very handsome appearance. His upright fifth house has a somewhat neutral flavor... and the coat he is wearing is similar to the clothes around him. Compared with others, they are quite out of place.
It doesn’t look like modern clothing at all…
At first glance, it looks like the robes worn by the characteristic ethnic groups in desert oasis in those movies.
It is obviously a little dirty. It should be white, but now it has turned into a dark brown color and is even a little tattered. I don’t know how long it has been worn and how little care it has taken, so it has become like this. An unbearable look...
but--
The reason why it is said that the boy has a strange feeling is because of this. It was an indescribable subtle atmosphere that made him look particularly eye-catching. With such a temperament buff, other things seemed to be completely unimportant.
So even though he has such an undignified appearance, the young man doesn't look sloppy at all. Instead, he looks elegant and radiant.
"strangeness……"
Kusanagi Godou subconsciously paid more attention, and felt a little strange. How long had this boy been watching the court? Was he too absorbed in it just now, so he didn't notice it? Logically speaking, such a unique person must be easily noticeable, right?
For example, on a basketball court, people who are showing off or handsome men and beauties on the sidelines will naturally become the center of attention.
But that's not the case now. The crowd didn't seem to notice the young man at all even though he was right next to him.
It seemed that Kusanagi Godou was the only one who noticed.
As soon as their eyes met, the young man standing on the sidelines smiled at Kusanagi Godou. His slender eyes became more slender and his lips curved.
It was a very old-fashioned smile.
The young man raised his hand as if to say hello to him, and at the same time his eyes were shining with undisguised...appreciation?
It's hard to describe Kusanagi Godou, but that's how he feels. He hesitated for a moment, and then walked over there. After all, he had been fighting for so long, so he should stop and rest... Just like this, maybe it was his own thoughts, maybe it was because of the push of fate -
He took such a crucial step towards a road full of thorns and glory.
