The Demon Emperor was Saint Emperor

Ilya can’t learn to be all charming and soft, but she is firm in being devoted. Since she’s given her heart to Lynn, she’s his for life, unless they are separated by two worlds and truly can’t see each other anymore. Otherwise, she won’t shirk her responsibilities as a wife.

"Don’t make it sound like I’m just lusting after your beauty, needing you only when required, but rather, like a typical couple deeply in love."

Lynn’s nonsense might fool the innocent Vivian, but it won’t deceive the Demon King sisters who’ve been in the Demon Realm for ages, having lived for hundreds of years. Though they are also novices in emotions, their experience isn’t shallow—having seen many pigs run.

Saying it’s not just about lusting after beauty, as if we forgot how you set conditions when initially asking you to pretend to be the Demon Emperor, and what it took for you to agree.

But...

Speaking of which, we’ve gone through so much together, spent quite some time together. To say there’s no real emotion seems unlikely, but when compared to budding true love, it’s the face factor that’s more prominent. After all, in both worlds, the same truth prevails—

Looks are justice!

No, the Demon Race doesn’t speak of justice, so it’s looks are everything!

"So are you planning to go back to the Miracle World to be affectionate with your wife there tonight, or stay in the Demon Realm to be affectionate with us?"

At this moment, the Envious Demon King Aya chimed in, asking a question quite fitting of her status.

She might not genuinely envy the rod sister in the Miracle World who openly married the real Lynn, but she blurted out the question at just the right time, showing her very demon-like setup.

"Since you’ve asked so directly, how can I bear to leave? Tonight, it’s your turn, to avoid accidentally tipping over the vinegar jar."

As Lynn spoke, he patted Ilya who was reluctant to leave his embrace, then once she sensibly made room for her sister, he pulled Aya over to hold her in his arms.

As the Envious Demon King, Aya hadn’t been too envious in front of Lynn. Perhaps the reason was that she hadn’t quite placed herself in the position of Lynn’s wife initially, merely considering it a transaction.

Only recently has she started to have some different... no, rather normal reactions, occasionally feeling a bit jealous, wanting to be snarky, and also... wanting to get closer to Lynn.

She had a premonition, that once the progress bar was filled, her true nature might be exposed—whenever she saw Lynn being affectionate with her sisters, she’d get jealous, and thinking of him being affectionate with unfamiliar rod sisters in another world would make her gnash her teeth.

Aya actually dreaded this side of herself, fearing it might be annoying, not realizing that a proper amount of jealousy not only isn’t annoying but is actually rather adorable.

Lynn found the little vinegar jar quite cute, as long as it’s not the creepy possessive type or the impotent rage that drives oneself mad, the best is the kind of angry that leads to biting a handkerchief, with teary eyes but unable to cry.

If she can master this dimension, then Aya might become as attractive as the Phantom.

"Hmph! If you pick me, then so be it. I certainly won’t be scared of you! Big sis is too stubborn, and Phantom sister too cowardly, possibly causing some misunderstandings about us seven Demon King sisters, let me show you the true majesty of a Demon King!"

Even while being held by Lynn, pressed against his chest and listening to his strong heart beat, with her nose full of his scent, Aya remained defiant in her somewhat dazed state.

Though she originally chickened out and ran, watching how the extremely stubborn big sis returned safely from bed... well, not totally safe, but she wasn’t dead, right?

Even the extremely timid Phantom sister among the seven sisters managed to survive under him, indicating that Lynn wasn’t as terrifying as imagined. Perhaps it’s possible to give him a good battle.

Given this, as the dignified Envious Demon King, the second boss among the Demon King sisters couldn’t lose her majesty before the battle, she even thought that with her wit and adaptability, she might perform better than big sis and Phantom sister.

By that time, outside Ilya might remain big sis, but at home, big sis would have to call her big sister!

Hmph hmph~~

"Then go ahead and flaunt your majesty, we need to pay the deposit, you accompany the cargo owner, come and join us at midnight... if by then you still have the strength."

Both Ilya and Liss, usually taking charge, were quite sensible. Upon witnessing Aya foolishly volunteering herself, they immediately prepared to leave her be.

The agreed deposit time is before midnight, and the deposit was ready once Lynn handed over his assets in the Demon Realm, leaving nothing much to busy themselves with. Let the Demon King who should accompany him do so, and later on, the crowd will gather to deliver to him—to let him contribute early was best.

"How about I sleep here too? I really can’t be bothered anymore, haven’t had a good night’s sleep for days... Hey, don’t pull my ear, I can walk myself!"

When Ilya and Liss decided to leave Aya to look after Lynn, or rather let Lynn "look after" Aya, the yawning Sloth Demon King Hill weakly raised her hand, indicating she couldn’t walk and needed to stay over at Lynn’s.

Yet her request was firmly rejected by big sis and Liss sister, with Liss preparing to carry her away for a nap en route, while Ilya was less considerate, directly going for her ear.

Apart from Liss, none of these sisters were trouble-free. You’re thinking of sleeping here? When it’s your turn, sleep however you like, be slept however you like, that’s all fine. But now it’s Aya’s turn, lying here like this, what’s the deal?

In the later stages, when everyone’s all affectionate like one big happy family, actively sharing the burden might be understandable. But Aya is having her first time today, what are you doing? Trying to become blood sisters with her, see if your blood mixes in water?

Even if you want to experiment, use some proper water, not that stuff...

In conclusion, with Liss helping, Ilya dragged Hill away, leaving Lynn and Aya in a duo... uh, one human and one demon world.

It wasn’t genuinely solitary, as there are still Joyful Witches in the Demon Emperor Palace, but their strength and position aren’t fit for military expeditions, so they remained in the palace.

Simply, they wouldn’t disrupt the Demon Emperor and Demon King’s affair, unless this Demon King is too feeble and sends out a distress signal.

And as proven, Aya still showed some bravery.

In words, Aya truly lived up to her name—Aya Aya, leaving one to exclaim oh my oh my upon a taste...

As expected, Lynn ended up late for the pickup due to staying overtime for contribution.

He said before midnight was the time promised for payment, but when everything finally wrapped up, he arrived at the meeting point at 12:58 a.m.

The high-ranking Demon Realm officials had arrived early and waited for a long time in the cold. Seeing it’s nearly 1 a.m., they grew restless, but none dared to complain.

After all, the True God himself only set the final deadline, without promising he’d be there on time.

However, hadn’t he said every hour overdue results in randomly erasing ten thousand lucky demons? It’s now 12:58, dear sir!

Lest he intentionally arrive late, then wrongfully blame us for failing to deliver the deposit at the arranged time, he’d have a reason to eliminate us, right?
