The Great Demon King Who Was Kidnapped After Jokingly Flirting - Didn't You Know? You Can't Escape from the Female Heroes - Chapter 16: Negotiations, As Expected…

The sudden appearance of a Sky Dragon from the sky would put anyone on edge.

Their faces tense, and the local soldiers notice Annest and me on Suu’s back.

“Captain, on its back, there’s…”

“Yes… a girl and… a demon!”

Seeing me certainly heightened the tension.

To this group, Annest said…

“Please halt, soldiers of the kingdom. My name is Annest. And this is my master.”

“Wha… What!?”

“You seemed to be heading towards us, so we came to meet you.”

The way she introduced us…

“Huh?”

“Master? That’s cool…”

“What does that mean?”

“Are they… a demon and… a couple? A handsome man and a beautiful woman…”

“No, it must be a joke… or maybe they’re under a spell!”

“Unbelievable, that such a young girl is with… that, that handsome demon!”

Their reactions were as expected.

“Calm down!”

The female captain at the forefront managed to quiet the troops amidst their commotion.

“Young lady… and you, demon… this is confusing… but I heard rumors about five beautiful girls rampaging under the control of a handsome demon… Where are the others?”

“That information is fabricated. We are not being controlled. The five of us love him by our will, and he loves us back. We just want to live quietly and happily without any interference. Those who disturb us are enemies, and those who don’t will be left alone. Also, none of us could fit on Suu-chan, so we came alone.”

I’m not in love, and if anyone’s being controlled, it’s me…

“Moreover, look at him. He’s so handsome, skilled in riding a dragon… and kind. He might be a bit shy, but that makes it exciting.”

“He’s certainly handsome, but… however…”

The female captain seemed puzzled by Annest’s confident demeanor and words, but she shook her head, not ready to back down.

“We can’t just ignore this! Do you know how many you’ve killed recently!”

“…”

“I’ve heard from the survivors that it was like hell, like the deeds of demons. If you’re truly not under the control of demons, then you’re equally guilty. Are you okay with that?”

Indeed, they were talking about the female bandit group… and what Annest and the others had done while I was fleeing.

From the start, negotiations were meaningless.

And more than that…

“Even if we ‘killed,’ it was just exterminating pests. Even you would get rid of pests in your home, wouldn’t you?”

“What…?”

“And you keep referring to my master as a demon… Is there something wrong with being a demon?”

“What! How can you say that?! Demons are humanity’s archenemies! To love such a thing is the real abnormality!”

“…”

Ah, it seems Annest has completely lost patience.

Annest was willing to part ways peacefully with a smile, without doing anything, if the other party had agreed to her demands.

But now, it’s definitive.

“Understood. Then, I shall deem you all as pests… and exterminate you.”

“Wha… What!?”

A cold, icy killing intent spread all around.

“Don’t falter! There are only two of them and a Sky Dragon! We have the numbers! Now is the time to show the strength of our unity—”

Sensing the change in the air, the female captain hurriedly tries to rally the troops— but…

“Then, the sentence is death.”

“What?!”

In the next instant, Kiruru, who had stealthily infiltrated their ranks, beheaded the female captain in a flash.

“Uh?”

“Ca-Captain…”

Yes, the moment they saw them, Kiruru had left our side and secretly blended in with them.

“Captainnnnn!!!??”

And so, with the collapse of the negotiations, Kiruru immediately targeted their leader…
