The Demon King Who Was Supposed to Lose Ended Up Defeating the Targets, and Now the Heroine Has Been Sent as a Sacrifice - Chapter 34

Chapter 34: The Demon King Supposed to Lose, Resolves Himself

A week passed by quickly.

When you’re constantly switching between unbelievably beautiful girls and having fun, it feels like it goes by in an instant.

Elsia and the others’ cheerful support kept my demonic sword constantly burning with desire, and I devoured every inch of their bodies. It truly was a blissful time.

What surprised me the most was Elsia’s stamina.

“Mmm ♡ Even though there’s a huge level difference between us, I didn’t expect to last till the end ♡ I thought I’d have Diablo all to myself for the last three days ♡”

“Fufu, it’s the power of love ♡ No level gap can stand in the way of my feelings for Lord Diablo ♡”

Honestly, I also predicted that it would end in a one-on-one showdown with Arcyon.

Arcyon is by far the strongest in my harem, and she’s probably the only dragoness who might be able to defeat me in bed.

But then, the dark horse that rose to the challenge was Elsia.

Despite the significant level difference between her and Arcyon, Elsia fearlessly came at me, wanting some loving fun.

And it wasn’t just Elsia.

Spurred on by Elsia’s determination, even Mana and the others, who should have been out of energy, came back for a rematch.

Well, in the end, I’m still the stronger one, though.

“Jeez ♡ Even when we all go at you together, you still defeat us so easily, Lord Diablo ♡”

“Ufufu ♡ Diablo, you’re just amazing ♡ I’ve fallen for you all over again ♡”

“Mm ♡ As expected of my brother ♡ You’re so cool ♡ I love you ♡ I’m so happy to be your sister… and your woman ♡”

“M-Me too ♡ I’m so happy to have become Lord Demon King’s woman ♡”

“Good grief ♡ You’ve given me too much ♡ I’m definitely going to get pregnant at this rate ♡”

“I’m going to have the cutest and strongest baby with Diablo ♡ And when that happens, as a reward, make me have another one ♡”

I wish I could tell my past self, who didn’t have much luck with women.

This is the harem.

“Hmm, something seems noisy outside.”

“Oh, fufu. Lord Diablo, do you remember what I told you before?”

“Hm?”

With a smile, Elsia took my hand and led me out to the castle balcony. From there, we could see a view of the Kingdom of Alvera’s royal capital.

At Elsia’s urging, I looked down at the capital.

However, this was no longer the capital that had fires breaking out all over the place just a week ago.

Now, buildings radiating an ominous atmosphere stood in neat rows, a scene that reminded me of the Demon King’s castle.

“This… what is this?”

“Do you remember when I said I wanted to repay you?”

Repay me? Oh yeah, she did say that.

“Wait, no way…”

“Yes. Lord Diablo, please accept this country as a gift. Everything in this land, the people and things, all belong to you, the Demon King!!”

“O-Oh, I see.”

What a massive gift!!

I thought the Demon King’s castle was pretty big, but an entire country… seriously?!

“Lord Diablo, how is it? Do you like it?”

Elsia asked, her eyes shining.

To be honest, I couldn’t simply feel happy about Elsia’s grand gift.

I’ve always felt the weight of being the Demon King was a heavy burden.

But despite that, when it’s a gift from Elsia, it makes me happy. 

I can’t help but feel like it’s a wonderful present, one that makes me want to dance with joy.

“Yeah. Honestly, I can’t imagine a better gift.”

“Fufu, I’m so glad you like it!!”

Seeing Elsia smile so blissfully, a thought crosses my mind.

Maybe… staying as the Demon King wouldn’t be so bad, if it’s for her.

Sure, there are responsibilities and all that, but…

So, on this balcony where no one else is around, I decide to ask her something.

Quietly, I call Elsia’s name.

“Elsia. Do you want me to stay as the Demon King?”

“?”

“Sorry, I know it’s a strange question, but I want you to answer honestly.”

Elsia tilted her head cutely, probably not understanding the meaning behind my question.

After thinking for a moment, she answered.

“Well, if I’m being honest, I want to keep you all to myself, Lord Diablo. Sometimes, I even think about taking the Demon King’s title away from you so I can have you just for me. I don’t want to share you with anyone—not even my mother.”

Whoa.

That sounds like a dream come true, but… I wouldn’t like giving up having fun with Mana and the others.

As I was thinking that, Elsia chuckled softly.

“But, Lord Diablo, you are the Demon King. You’re the kind of person who can’t help but get involved with other girls.”

“Uh. W-Well, I’m sorry about that.”

“Fufu, don’t apologize. You’re strong, cool, kind, incredibly passionate, and you love all of us so much. You’re the kind of wonderful man that no one girl could ever keep to herself.”

“H-Having you say that to my face is a bit embarrassing…”

Being this adored by Elsia made me happy, but also left me feeling a little embarrassed.

But Elsia didn’t seem to care, and continued speaking.

“If you stopped being the Demon King, I would probably keep you all to myself. That would be fun in its own way every day, I’m sure… But still, I want you to stay as the amazing person who can’t be held by just me alone. In that sense, I do want you to stay as the Demon King.”

“…Are you really okay with that? I might keep getting involved with more girls, you know?”

“I love everything about you, including that part. But, if you ever get tired of being the Demon King, please let me know anytime, okay? I’ll take the Demon King’s title for myself and keep you all to myself. And if that happens, I won’t let you be with any other girls, alright?”

Why, I wonder?

Elsia’s mischievous smile as she said that reflected a plan I’d been considering for a long time, but…

I didn’t like it.

Of course, part of it was the idea of not being able to have fun with Mana and the others, but more than that, I couldn’t accept becoming someone Elsia didn’t want me to be.

I had asked just out of curiosity, but somehow, her words helped me make up my mind.

“…I see, that was a silly question. Sorry. I’ll continue being the Demon King, so I guess you won’t be able to keep me all to yourself.”

“Yes!! That’s exactly the Lord Diablo I know!!”

I should head back to my castle soon and consult with Balzac.

After all, since becoming the Demon King, I haven’t really done anything particularly Demon King-like.

When in doubt, Balzac is the best person to ask for advice.

Well, I’ll put that aside for now.

“Elsia.”

“Hyan ♡ Lord Diablo? After all that, you still want more?”

“Yes. I’m sorry to everyone else, but right now, I just want to hold you, Elsia. Brace yourself—I’m more excited than ever before.”

“Ahh ♡ It’s so big… It’s going to break me ♡”

“Don’t worry. I’ll cherish you forever. I’ll break you gently.”

“…Mou ♡ Lord Diablo, you’re such a tease ♡”

And so, I made love to Elsia passionately right there on the balcony.

“Oh my…”

“Big Sister looks so cute. My brother is so cool.”

“I don’t have the guts to interrupt that.”

“Looks like, after all, Elsia is my master’s favorite. As her mentor, I’m quite proud.”

“Well, I’ve had enough love from him today, so I’ll let Elsia have him for now. That sounds fair.”

Mana and the others were watching us through the door that led from the room to the balcony.

I couldn’t give them any attention today since I wanted to focus on Elsia, but tomorrow, I’ll make sure to pamper them too.

As for consulting with Balzac, that can wait until after that.
