Miss Demon King, Please Endure a Little Longer - Volume 3 Chapter 36

Chapter 36: The Demon King’s Scheme

***

Ah!

Upon hearing this name, this was the first phrase that popped into Aira’s mind.

That old fox Laiteni wasn’t being honest, he knew quite a lot of things. Before dying, he only mentioned one thing and definitely didn’t tell everything!

Although gossip and such matters should respect privacy, when a person is about to die, his words carry virtue. You should tell both what should and shouldn’t be said, and the Demon King will personally distinguish the useful information.

“Elder Laiteni?”

The girls had different impressions of him. Aira and Zero saw him for the last time, while Celeste and others only happened to bump into him on the road the day before yesterday, exchanging a few meaningless pleasantries.

“What did he say, and what other characteristics were there?”

“Also, very cute.”

“What else?”

“…”

Meeting everyone’s puzzled gazes, Lambert himself was also confused: “That’s it.”

The girls didn’t know what to say for a moment.

A girl, very cute, it seemed like there was some information, but actually there was none at all.

When an elder evaluates a child, could there be anything uncute in their words? Saying it was equivalent to saying nothing.

“Not bad though, at least we know it’s a girl.” Vina giggled, “That excludes about half of the targets.”

Lambert also felt a bit embarrassed.

Trika beside them spoke up: “You don’t need to help him find her. The forest nurtures every elf, she won’t go starve or freeze to death. Since more than 100 years have passed, his daughter must have grown up well. A good man has ambitions that reach far and wide; you should think more about how to repay the forest.”

Still the same old story, outsiders can get information out of you with just a little probing. You’re 800 or 900 years old, how are you the same as that loli in our team?

As she spoke, she looked at the other members of the delegation: “Just like us, when Elder Isadora originally planned to have us stay longer in human territory and return after the danger in our tribe passed, we still came back without hesitation! Right?”

The elf loli Sylithea scratched her head: “But when we hadn’t set off yet, Elder Isadora changed her mind and had us return early.”

Trika, whose lie was exposed, blushed again: “That’s one thing and this is another. The elder’s decision is the elder’s, but we originally planned to return anyway and share life and death with the forest!”

She then looked at Lambert again: “Look, we’re not even afraid of death, yet you still care about some emotional wounds.”

What are feelings anyway? Although only a few hundred years young, the young people of the elven race have already sealed their hearts and locked away love!

Lambert shook his head: “Death is not frightening. We are born from the forest, and after death we will also fall into the soil, becoming part of this land. For us, death is just continuing to walk in this world in another form. Only emotions are unforgettable, accompanying us forever.”

When he said this, he shook his head thoughtfully, his tone also aged and pompous, and his word choice had some depth, leaving the young elves stunned.

Sylithea couldn’t help but nod: “That makes sense.”

“What nonsense sense!” Trika rolled her eyes at her, “You’re only a bit over 100 years old, what are you talking about before and after life.”

Without more specific characteristics, helping to find his daughter was naturally out of the question. Celeste could only offer a few words of comfort and persuaded him to leave.

“Let’s go back too.” Aira stretched lazily, “I’m hungry.”

Was Lala hungry? A little, but the greater hunger was in her heart.

On the way back to the treehouse, she analyzed the situation. Among the troublemakers within the demon race, the Wolf-Head tribe should still be in internal strife competing for the leader’s position, the Blood Demon tribe had just been crippled in the forest with few left standing, and the others all leaned toward neutrality.

And what about the Demon King? She had raised an army in Harbor City. Once Rhinoceros-Horn General’s message spread to other places, the elite legion of 5,000 would become her core capital. Then she’d find some human armies and elven armies to form an allied force, charge in from the northern forest, strike straight to the heart, restore order, and regain supreme power!

“Ah, look everyone, it’s her!”

“I see her, I see her, Sky Knight Aira!”

“How did you recognize which one she is at a glance?”

“It’s so obvious, the big-breasted one is the Sky Knight, the flat-chested one is the Death Knight.”

“You’re right.”

On the road, they encountered a group of young elves who approached them cautiously.

“Miss Aira, are you heading back to rest?”

Look at that, with my current reputation among the elves, borrowing people to form an allied army later would be a piece of cake.

“Yes, by the way,” she asked curiously, “why do you call me Sky Knight?”

“Because you rode back on a Dragon Eagle yesterday, and many people saw it. That heroic figure seemed to have conquered the sky.” The young elf said excitedly, “And your hair color is beautiful, like a rainbow in the sky!”

You should get your eyes checked, being so young and all.

Aira thought this in her heart while maintaining a gentle smile on her face, looking like a caring big sister. After chatting for a few moments, she bid them farewell and continued toward the treehouse.

The elven side of the allied army was settled. As for the human side…

Walking near the treehouse, the companions of the Hero Party had gradually returned and were sitting together at the dining table.

“War is truly terrible, so many people fighting and killing each other.” Vina stuck out her little tongue, “Celeste, your family also leads armies. Have you ever participated with your family?”

“Father took me to observe a few small-scale battles.”

“Eh, that must have been exciting too.”

Aira, who had just returned, felt her heart skip a beat.

Right, one of her companions had family connections.

After dinner, the girls each returned to their treehouses to rest.

Celeste closed her door, sat down at the study area in her room, took out paper and pen from her luggage, and wrote—

【Day 8 of arriving at the elven territory. In the previous days, the demon race invaded the northern forest, and they waged a great battle. Today the war has finally ceased…】

This was why the girl still served as team leader. Although most decisions relied on Aira, as the leader, writing reports was her responsibility.

If everything were left to Aira, it would exhaust Aira.

Although she hadn’t come to find her for a while, it must be because of important matters, like this time helping the elves by directly taking the head of the demon army’s commander.

Vina always said Aira was a flirt, having improper relationships with team members, which was completely unreasonable.

But she really hadn’t come to find her for a long time…

Knock knock knock, the sound of knocking interrupted the girl’s thoughts.

“Who is it?”

“It’s me.” Aira’s gentle voice came from outside the door, “Are you busy inside?”

Celeste wiped her hands, which had been writing at the desk, with a towel and got up to open the door.

Standing at the door was indeed the pink-haired big-breasted beautiful girl. The flower crown given by the elder today hadn’t been removed yet, making the girl’s fair neck look very sweet.

“Aira, is there something wrong?”

“Nothing much, I just wanted to come see you.” The pink-haired big-breasted girl reached up to brush aside the hair by her ear, saying softly, “I heard from them that you have to write reports every day, which is very hard work.”
