When I opened my eyes again, I saw the unfamiliar zenith.
The furniture placed around looks simple but exudes an expensive atmosphere, which makes people feel a little subtle.
The quilt covering me was so soft compared to my own that it made me restless. I remembered that I lay down very early last night, but I felt like I couldn't calm down all night. It seemed that I had thought about a lot of things, but I couldn't. Remember what you were thinking.
"...always feel bad."
Li Mo lay on the pillow that could sink his head and let out a grunt that sounded like a sigh.
She smoothed away the messy hair in front of her eyes and climbed up while holding her somewhat groggy head. Then she saw a pair of long, fluffy golden ears.
"I remember the door was locked last night."
Li Mo closed his eyes and looked at the owner of the ears complainingly.
"This is my concubine's home after all. There are any number of ways to get in."
"Then can you explain why you are here?"
"Because it is my responsibility as the head of the house to take care of my guests at all times. Moreover, with such an excellent opportunity, I will of course want to take advantage of the night to do something like this."
The little fox put his palms together and tilted his head slightly.
"Really? Thank you very much."
"You are welcome."
Facing the happy little fox, Li Mo let out a long sigh.
He was sure that the little fox understood that he was speaking sarcastically, but because of this, he really didn't know how to react to her attitude of not being ashamed but proud.
"Master Limo, are you still used to living here?"
"Not used to it."
Li Mo sighed deeply again.
He has never been good at getting along with the little fox because she is considerate and reasonable. She is almost perfect in every aspect except her body. But because she is perfect, he is easily led by her. run.
For example, now she has raised such a loving question at the right time, making it difficult for people to ask her what "such and such" means.
"Oh, this is really shameless. Is it because I am not good enough here?"
Probably because Li Mo's answer was beyond her expectation, an awkward smile appeared on the little fox's face.
"No, your place is already a paradise compared to the shabby Demon King's City."
"Then why?"
"Yeah, why?"
Li Mo closed his eyes and put his head on his hands and fell on the quilt. This time, his head and hands naturally sank into the pillow.
Just being able to rest on such a soft bedding and waking up with the morning light in such a sunny room made Li Mo feel so comfortable that he had nothing to say.
But ah, think back to the past days.
He is always doing some hard work. He is busy from morning to late at night almost every day. In this way, he always works as much as he can. Now he has lived in the little fox's house for almost a week. During this period, in addition to routine business If you need to take care of it yourself, there's almost nothing you can do.
Not having to do anything was more comfortable than expected, but also more painful than expected.
To be honest, Li Mo, who is already used to being busy, still feels that the previous life is more suitable for him.
"Hello, is anyone here?"
Someone called from the yard outside the house.
The voice sounded like a stranger.
"Ah, who is it?"
Li Mo's room was at the end of the corridor. Beyond the corridor was the courtyard. The little fox got up and looked for the sound and came to the courtyard.
"Ah, hello!"
The voice sounded again, coming from heaven.
Looking up, the harpy girl carrying a satchel was parked in the sky above the yard.
"I'm Habib Express. Is Mr. Limo here?"
"I am."
Li Mo heard the sound and followed him out, sticking his head out in the corridor and looking at the sky.
"Here is a letter from you, please sign for it."
The harpy girl flapped her wings and landed in front of Li Mo. She took out the letter from her satchel and handed it to Li Mo.
"Thanks."
When Li Mo took the letter, the paint on the envelope popped open automatically.
Because most demons do not use their real names, letters are often attached with this kind of magic to identify the authenticity of the recipient. If it is the real recipient, the fire paint will automatically pop off like this.
Seeing that she had sent the package to the right person, the harpy girl nodded in response to Li Mo's thanks, flapped her wings and soared into the air again, rushing to the next place to deliver the package.
"It would be very convenient to receive express mail if you are not taboo about your name like Mr. Limo."
"Don't mention my name as if it can only be used to receive express mail."
To be honest, he was a little hurt inside because he had so boldly put forward his name but was only recognized in this way.
But thinking about it, according to the identity of the little fox, she does not need to worry about the inconvenience caused by not using her real name. At least no one in the Land of Wind will misidentify her.
"Speaking of which, do the lords in the north really don't have to deal with it?"
"Well, it doesn't matter. I have already taught her a lesson."
Li Mo snickered and took out the letter from the envelope.
In order to take revenge, he evilly imitated the appearance of the little fox and secretly displayed the exquisite seal on the letter paper.
However, this seal was not the official seal of the lord's hall at that time, but the lord's private seal. Usually, the things covered with this seal were small good deeds.
The neatly folded letter paper is unfolded and it is a letter that is not too long.
The first half of the paragraphs are all quotations of thanks, but only the last paragraph is what Li Mo really wants to see:
"Master Demon King, Mr. Li Mo, please allow me to apologize to you again. I'm really sorry. The Demon King's city was completely frozen due to my rampage of magic power a few days ago. I deeply apologize for this. I would like to write this letter only." I apologize. I pay my respects to Haruyuki, Lord of the Land of Water."
This is the reason why I live in the little fox's house, because this idiot has the entire Demon King's City frozen into ice, and it seems that it will not be completely melted until summer.
"I've already given her a good lesson."
Li Mo crumpled the letter, with a smile on his face but veins on his forehead. It seemed that what he said was not polite.
"It seems that a lot of things have happened, but since Lord Limo said so, let's do it this way."
No matter the previous commission or the current matter, the little fox would never get to the bottom of it. As long as Li Mo said it, she would believe the result. This trust is really reassuring. This is why no matter how she behaves, Li Mo will always The reason why they couldn't get angry with her.
"Then I have some official duties, so I'll go to the Lord's Mansion first. Master Li Mo will greet me at the door of my house in the evening."
The little fox unfolded his folding fan to cover half of his face, looking at Li Mo with a shy look in his eyes.
But Li Mo knew that she was just pretending, because she had never been shy when making such a joke to herself.
"Go, go, go, we're not newlyweds, and even the positions are reversed."
Li Mo also deliberately showed a disgusted expression as a joke, and made a gesture with his hands to repel mosquitoes.
"Haha. Then I'm leaving."
He put away the folding fan, showed a sweet smile on his face, stopped joking, turned around and left in a hurry.
She is already a busy person. Between the official duties of the territory and her own business matters, she will be out of breath if she is burdened with any of them. Li Mo feels that she should be grateful if she can waste a lot of time joking with him here. .
"What should I do next?"
With no one to accompany me and nothing to do, I could only sit on the corridor adjacent to the yard in a daze as before.
But a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of him.
Li Mo quickly chased after her and intercepted her from behind.
This guy who loves to cause trouble was holding a paint bucket that he got from somewhere. It was stained everywhere on her dress, and even on her face and nose, but she didn't seem to notice it. .
"Lord Demon King, what are you causing trouble?"
When Li Mo opened his mouth, his tone was accusatory.
This lazy person actually got up so early today, and seemed to have been out before. It didn't take much to figure out that he must be planning something bad.
"That's so long-winded, but Yu is doing business!"
The Demon King dropped the paint bucket and slapped away Li Mo's hand holding her collar.
However, Li Mo didn't expect her to give an honest explanation, so he could only use some tricks to force a confession.
"Lord Demon King, I..."
I originally wanted to trick her as usual, but as soon as I said her name, Li Mo's words stopped in her throat.
He raised his gaze from the short Demon King and looked uneasily at the entrance of the annex.
He closed his eyes and listened. Even though it was different to step on the rain flower stones in the other courtyard and the marble floor of the Demon King's City, Li Mo was very sure that it was the sound of armors clashing against each other and unsheathed long swords that he was used to hearing. .
"It seems that a guest has found this place."
Li Mo smiled slightly.
"Is it that!?"
It seems that the Demon King has also discovered it.
"Yes, that's it."
That one is an old friend from the Demon King's Castle.
He smoothed his hair. As the strongest and wisest general in the Demon King's army, it was very important to look like one.
Adjust the tie on the chest again...
Oh no, I'm still wearing sexy pink pajamas!
"After all the hardships, I finally found you, Demon King!"
This is the first thing a guest says after arriving.
Then he drew out the long sword from his waist without hesitation and pointed the blade at Li Mo and the others.
The silver armor clearly engraved with suffering contrasts with the long sword that has been tempered with experience. He is a young man who exudes bravery and determination.
but,
But!
Why is there a mosaic all over my face?
Li Mo looked sideways at the mosaic, covered his mouth with his hand, and said in Lord Demon King's ear:
"Is this popular among you young people today? Am I so out of touch with the times?"
"How can it be!"
The Demon King was a little angry, pulled out the bat from under his skirt and pointed it at the hero:
"You bastard, what kind of obscene thing are you carrying around to make you look like this! It's so indecent!"
"No! Damn devil, don't say you have forgotten!"
The brave man put down his sword and tightened his fists, but his face was full of mosaics.
"I once went through all kinds of hardships to reach the Demon King's City. After an epic battle, I finally defeated the Four Heavenly Kings and the strongest wise general in the Demon King's City. However, in the end I lost the challenge to the Demon King and was left behind. Such a curse has been placed!”
"Has...has this ever happened?"
Remember as much as possible from the end.
The young man waved his sword in the air, interrupting his memory:
"Of course! The injury at that time has healed, but this vicious curse cannot be dissipated! After that, I did countless arduous exercises to improve my strength, just because I vowed to defeat you, the hateful demon king, and lift the curse! "
He raised his sword again and took a stance, unwilling to say more:
"Awaken! Demon King!"
Hesitant and shocked by the sudden incident, Li Mo couldn't care less about his image.
He stood next to the Demon King, straightened his back, and waved his tailcoat out of habit:
"Welcome to the Demon King's City, brave man! Let me compose a hymn for your courage and let your soul sleep forever!"
Although it doesn't seem to be the Demon King's Castle, let's just say it smoothly.
Li Mo nodded with satisfaction.
As Li Mo's opening words, which were like "beginning", ended, the long sword immediately danced, flashing a cold light, pointing directly at Li Mo's eyebrows.
Then,
"wrong!"
The unprepared roar made the brave man subconsciously stop his hand, but due to the extremely fast speed of the sword, he could not stop the car and finally had to throw it face to face on the ground.
"No! No! No!"
The Demon King was stomping his feet while breathing heavily in annoyance. However, the source of her anger was not the hero, but Li Mo, whom she pointed at the nose.
"This kind of line is totally unacceptable and not cool at all!"
"Didn't you say he was handsome a few days ago?!"
Li Mo remembered that she had praised his handsome lines last time, which was why he endured the shame and said such a middle-grade line.
But now she has changed her mind again, which is unacceptable.
"In this day and age, things like 'fashion' will fall out of fashion in just one day. Ah Li, you just keep saying the same thing. Of course it won't work!"
"But, cool lines can't come out simply by thinking about it. It's surprisingly difficult."
Li Mo held his chin with his hand and tried to think, but he couldn't think of anything better than what he was doing now.
"Then how about lowering the difficulty first and thinking of some cool move names?"
"It's so shameful to call names during a fight."
"No shame! He's not a bad guy either! He's so handsome!"
"Okay, okay, then what do you have to say?"
Li Mo couldn't understand Lord Demon King's aesthetics at all, but seeing how excited she was, he had to compromise.
"So...how about the Gillick Cannon?"
Lord Demon King smiled proudly and pretended to send out Qigong waves.
"Isn't that Vegeta's skill? You're just copying it!"
"What about the Golden Demon King?"
"Don't think you can get away with just changing the names of Frieza's abilities! Do you want to turn into a shit-yellow person?! And why are they all the skills of someone who has been a villain! And in this day and age, if you still play Dragon Ball memes, who can? Understand? What about your so-called popularity?"
This guy had so much to complain about, and Li Mo couldn't finish until he was gasping for air.
"This won't work, and that won't work either, so what should you say?"
The Demon King pouted dissatisfiedly.
"Then... how about we change our thinking and find three more heavenly kings, and set the names of the four heavenly kings in the form of southeast, northwest, and northwest?"
Although Li Mo was very satisfied with his idea, the Demon King stuck out his tongue as if he was disgusted and looked at him with empty eyes and a look of disgust:
"Then someone will understand your 100% joke about Zaoberry? What qualifications do you have to look down on Dragon Ball?"
"That's a long way to go! All men will 100% like Zaoberry. Although it's a bit old, a classic is a classic!"
"Ugh, you men are just big pigs. You only like things like TO LOXE that girls are attracted to. It's disgusting! It's totally in line with the ideological consciousness of modern young people."
During the fierce quarrel between the two, the brave man got up from the ground. Looking at the two people in front of him who interrupted his shameful battle of honor because of such a meaningless issue, he was furious. Come.
"Give me the right amount..."
"I ask you, what do you young people like to watch nowadays?"
Li Mo's conversation suddenly turned to the hero and interrupted him mercilessly.
"I don't know much about it. It's probably a story about a person from another world who was beaten to death and then reincarnated into a slime, and then there's also a story about whether mom can use a double attack or a cleave."
The brave man held his chin and gave his answer seriously, but received no response.
"What, you look at the poor guy like that! Although it sounds weird, it's actually a very good work!"
"It's not easy for you either..."
Li Mo gently put his arm around his shoulders, and then secretly brushed away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
"No! This kind of question is irrelevant at all. What I want to do is to hit you, Demon King!"
The brave man waved away Li Mo's hand, raised the sword again, activated the magic power, and a heat wave that distorted the air surged on the sword.
"Watch the moves, Explosive Flames and Air Slash!"
"Why do you have such cool moves!?"
Driven by jealousy, the Demon King became furious and swung his stick and hit the Hero on the chin. Under the Demon King's violence like a violent wind, the Mosaic Hero rose into the sky and turned into a meteor, disappearing at the end of the sky.
"Who is it?"
As soon as the brave man left, the angry roars continued again.
The little fox who had left earlier chased her back into the yard, kicking up dust. She held the folding fan tightly and gasped angrily in front of the two of them.
"Who is it?!"
The clenched teeth made her voice change, which was enough to show how angry she was.
"What's going on? Didn't you go to work?"
"Who painted 'Temporary Demon King's Castle' on the torii gate at the entrance to my villa! Are you!? The little devil!"
Was the paint just used for this kind of thing? !
Li Mo covered his face with his hands. He felt ashamed of the Demon King's boring behavior. This was a feeling even more shameful than yelling the name of a skill while fighting in reality.
"No, it's not Yu."
The Demon King tilted her face to one side and whistled incoherently, but it just exposed the paint on her face.
"You're still making excuses! The word "Demon City" in Demon King's City is wrong!"
"It's impossible! But Yu followed what's written in the dictionary!"
"Look! It's really you!"
"Kawu! Stinky fox, how dare you lie to Yu! A Li!!!!"
Oops, it’s true.
Li Mo simply let them noisy like this, and then sat on the corridor and watched them with interest.
Although I still have to live here for a while, it will be difficult to stay idle in the future if I have this annoying little guy.
But that's okay. People like him who are afraid of leisure should always be busy around them.
--------------------------
behind the scenes theater
A week ago, late at night.
"Okay, okay, how long are you going to cry? Haru doesn't want to see you like this."
Li Mo gently patted the back of the snow girl who was crying in the arms of the Demon King.
Although she should have a good cry now, Li Mo felt that she had become strong enough now.
"I'm sorry, but...but..."
Under Li Mo's clumsy comfort, Xue Nu's cries gradually became quieter and turned into quiet sobs.
"But I can't stop when I think about how much work I still have to do when I go back. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, please let me cry for a while now, wow -"
As the snow girl cried loudly, the snowflakes flying in the sky became thicker and thicker. After accumulating in the Demon King's City, they slowly began to turn into ice cubes, and then spread unscrupulously in the city, sealing the entire King's City in ice.
"No, you...I...stop it!"
"Wow--"
I'm an idiot for worrying about you!
The snowflakes flying all over the sky drowned out Li Mo's heartbreaking shouts.
