Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Turns Out the Hero Isn’t Normal Either

On the rooftop.

Lureya was completely captivated by the story Lina was telling.

As she listened to Lina’s story, the blonde girl started to understand more about the relationship between Lina and Shami, and she increasingly felt uneasy.

Why does it feel like I’m going to become the loser here, Lureya...

"So, so, what’s the promise between you and Shami?"

Lureya nervously swallowed and asked in a low voice.

When she asked the question, she already vaguely knew what kind of promise this was between young men and women.

Lina was playing with her slender fingers.

Behind the wall, Shami was also getting nervous.

Lina’s small face blushed slightly.

"Actually, it’s nothing much. Just after I defeat the Demon King, Shami will take the reward I get for defeating the Demon King, and the two of us will live a carefree life together..."

Behind the wall, Shami secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

This promise is surprisingly normal, White Hair.

White Hair always kept it a secret; he thought it was some incredible content, but it turned out to be the most common kind of promise in hero games: ’After I kill the Demon King, I’ll come back to marry you.’

But in a way, such a normal promise also surprised Shami.

Lureya stiffened slightly upon hearing this.

The promise the white-haired girl spoke of was indeed the same as she had guessed.

What’s going on? That jerk Shami, turns out he made this kind of promise with someone else while telling her she was the closest relationship to him.

Big liar, you lousy villager!

The blonde girl’s mood suddenly turned sour.

But after all, as an elf who has lived so long, she quickly adjusted her mindset.

Well, after all, there won’t be a moment to fulfill this promise.

Now Shami has become the Demon King, and she’s his most important Demon Envoy.

It’s quite normal for the Demon Envoy and the Demon King to eventually sleep in the same bed and become a family.

After all, they’re on the same side.

Instead, Lina as the Hero is the one who should feel desperate.

If she finds out that Shami is the Demon King she wants to defeat, one can only wonder how she’ll feel.

"So back then, nothing was achieved; not only did I not harm the Demon King, but I didn’t even get a participation prize—I wanted to die..."

Lina mumbled, embarrassed.

"I see..."

Lureya snapped back to reality, responded with a smile of understanding.

"But the Demon King is still around, Lina, this promise is nice too. As long as you keep it, maybe this time you’ll succeed."

Shami frowned.

Why does it feel like the flat-breasted blonde is egging White Hair on to do him in?

Lina hesitated, looking at Lureya. From Lureya’s summer-breeze-like gentle smile, she froze for a moment and then ashamedly lowered her head.

"I’m sorry! Miss Lureya! I shouldn’t have lied to you!"

"Huh?"

Lureya blinked in surprise.

"I am guilty! I deserve death! I shouldn’t have lied! Clearly, we were having a heart-to-heart chat, and yet I still thought about hiding my true thoughts. I’m just not worthy of being a qualified Swordsman!"

Lina suddenly stood up, bowing in apology towards Lureya in agitation.

What’s going on, Lina? Even when having a sincere talk with a partner, you think of deceiving others; compared to Miss Lureya’s pure heart, your heart seems murkier and darker.

"So what is it?"

A confused Lureya also quickly stood up, pulling Lina up and looking at her with concern.

The white-haired girl bit her lip, her cheeks gradually reddening.

"The promise I just told you is fake, the real promise isn’t that... Shami never made such a promise with me..."

Behind the wall, Shami stepped aside, avoiding being noticed by the two.

Although he didn’t know what was going on with White Hair, to be honest, at least White Hair was honest; he really didn’t make such a promise with her.

Don’t speak nonsense about things that never happened, Little White Hair.

"So, what is it?"

Lureya grew curious once again.

"Although in a broad sense, that promise can also be considered true..."

"It’s just that the content of the promise I mentioned earlier might have a slight deviation from the real promise?"

"But actually, there should be a promise more accurate than the one I just mentioned..."

Lina bit her red lips, seeming to struggle with whether or not to reveal it.

But when she looked up at the blonde girl in front of her,

A beam of noontime sunlight accidentally fell behind the blonde girl, glazing her with a thin layer of light, like a forgiving goddess manifesting, and the white-haired girl slowly squinted her eyes, knowing she could no longer let her heart grow uglier.

The white-haired Hero clenched her fists, her cheeks blushing intensely, and loudly revealed the real promise.

"I, I promised Shami... Th-that if I successfully defeat the Demon King and return, I and he would, like those adventurers who study reproduction issues in tents all night instead of sleeping, together study reproduction issues day and night with various methods and positions for three days and nights!"

"Saying it’s for the village and everyone, those are just excuses. Of course, there’s also the thought of not wanting Shami to be wronged again, but that’s just a surface reason."

"The real reason for working hard to defeat the Demon King is because I simply want to study reproduction issues with Shami! If we actually succeed, we can then worry-less, shamelessly study it day and night non-stop!"

The whole red-faced white-haired girl forced herself to finish speaking.

The smiling golden-haired elf froze.

The eavesdropping Shami also froze.

"..."

He,

He hadn’t made such an outrageous, up-in-the-clouds promise with White Hair either...

[A phonograph appears, playing a flashback background BGM]

A year after Lina came to Yili Village, which was also a year after Shami arrived in this world.

It was the most intense time for Heroes and adventure groups to defeat the Demon King Luwaka.

As the Demon King’s army was retreating steadily, it was about to enter the final battle to defeat the Demon King. Numerous newly emerged Heroes were rushing to the front lines of the Demon King Castle; the rear of the Demon King’s defeat teams saw the appearance of many with ulterior motives.

Scions, Hunters, Bounty Hunters, publicity-seeking passers-by teams, and colorful groups serving adventurers...

All of them also thinking to get a piece of the pie, or wanting to obtain Demon King treasures, royal rewards, and official honors, or wanting to make some quick money. All sorts of people formed adventure groups and converged from all directions, set on a path to defeat the Demon King.

The village’s small inns suddenly were in high demand, so the adventure groups had to camp outside the village.

Seizing this opportunity, Shami transformed into a small merchant, trading small goods among various adventure groups to earn a profit.

The process was utterly simple: buying cheap barley beer and food from the tavern owner, Mr. Deel, and some nearly-expired balloon kits from the inn owner. Then, exchanging for some unique little items with different adventure groups, and finally scavenging some reusable items from the previous adventure group camps to restock his inventory of goods.

Every evening, he’d take the goods for sale and head to the adventure camps located three to four kilometers outside the village, roaming between different camps to sell them.
