The Great Demon King Who Was Kidnapped After Jokingly Flirting - Didn't You Know? You Can't Escape from the Female Heroes - Chapter 37: The Scout

The atmosphere was indeed different from when I annihilated a thousand soldiers of this nation the other day. The battle-hardened Alliance Army brought a distinct presence, even from a distance. It’s a feeling I’ve experienced countless times—the hostility of humanity intent on defeating the great demon king. Once, I would greet such sentiment with a smirk, inviting them to try their luck…

“Aahn, my Darling♥”

“Chu, chu~”

Caught up in the moment, I found myself in mid-air, locked in an embrace and kissing Annest.

“Ah, Annest-chan, isn’t it my turn yet?”

“No way, this is my privilege alone, just like last time. Mid-air Kiss ♥”

These girls seem to lack any sense of tension.

“Hey, Annest… shouldn’t you be a bit more alert? The enemy we face now differs from the inexperienced weaklings we have encountered. Chu~”

“Churu~ ♥ Yes, I understand. But being too tense is also not good. I thought to relax by kissing and doing naughty things with the one I love ♥”

“And you know, Jar-kun, how sharp Annest-chan’s detection range and Lovely’s eyes are, right?”

As they spoke, they began to grope through the openings in my clothes excessively…

Can they win like this? Yet…

“Chu~ ♥ Lovely… to the north-northeast, at a distance of 3 Lokimeer… ten bugs.”

“Hmm? Hmm…”

While kissing me, Annest muttered. Then Lovely focused her gaze in the direction indicated. I, too, glanced that way while continuing to kiss Annest. My demonic vision allowed me to see—Annest had sensed them through her magic detection network. Indeed, I could see ten soldiers of the Alliance Army on griffons…

“Ah, such killjoy scouts.”

It wasn’t just me who noticed. With her seemingly gentle demeanor, Lovely possessed the hunter-like, superhuman vision and spotted them. Despite being human, her vision was extraordinary. But her true terror lay elsewhere…

“They haven’t noticed us yet, but they’re a nuisance, so let’s take care of them.”

Smiling, Lovely drew her glittering hero’s bow. There was no arrow; the arrows were created from Lovely’s magic.

“Before that, Jar-kun, what’s your strategy? Should we dispose of them? Tell me.”

“Uh… Yes… that’s fine.”

The situation escalated, with the heroes ready to confront the scouts—a precursor to the impending battle.

And then Lovely materialized a glowing magical arrow in her hand, aiming it afar…

“Let’s shoot, Love Arrow Shot ♥”

Contrary to the cute name of the technique, she released an arrow at the speed of light, and in an instant, the heads of ten humans in the distance were obliterated. They likely died without even realizing what had hit them.

“Goal ♥”

“As always, splendid work, Lovely.”

I had to admit, even reluctantly, that her skill was terrifying. At this distance, hitting the heads of all targets simultaneously without a single miss was a fearsome feat. Many demon king’s army commanders had fallen to her arrows on the battlefield. But now, she used this skill against fellow humans without any hesitation…

“Now that the scouts are visible, the enemy army will likely start making their moves. Their main forces are moving slowly towards us, but some squads are probably advancing.”

“Yeah. With the scouts out, they’ll be more cautious.”

“However, those are to be ignored as per the plan. Shini, Divias, and Kilrul will handle them. Our task is…”

“First, we gather information before wreaking havoc in the ‘hunting ground,’ right? The formation of the main army… finding the location of the enemy’s headquarters, investigating the overall commander and generals of the Alliance Army…”

And the task of planning the strategy was entrusted to me, and these heroes would execute it without question.

“Yes. Even if the Alliance Army has lost its heroes, it still needs a leading general. Whether it’s someone from the royal family or a general… Whether taking them down ends the fight, or if the army can quickly replace them… our strategy will vary based on that.”

“It’s troublesome… I’d prefer to eradicate them all with my magic. Even if I exhaust my magic, Jar-kun’s love potion is there to replenish it ♥”

“With the Alliance Army’s powerful magical barrier units, it won’t be easy.”

“Well, yes, but…”

“If the overall commander is in the center of the large army, it’s tricky, but if the headquarters are set up in the rear, striking there first is an option.”

And I could do it… But still…

“Anyway, once I see the enemy’s overall formation with my own eyes, I’ll easily discern where their headquarters, sensing units, barrier units, and communication units are located.”

“Fu fu fu fu, the enemy wouldn’t imagine that Jar-kun… the great demon king himself, would become a scout to gather their information.”

“Yep, and I have good eyesight too. If I look carefully, I can see who’s there ♥”

Despite devising the strategy myself, the role of a scout was something I had yet to imagine for a great demon king like me. How far I’ve fallen…
