Chapter 919: So You're the Goddess!
"How could you not know?"
Eiji smiled at her, his eyes carrying a dangerous glint.
"Uh… ah, right, that's true! Oh dear, I actually forgot, so sorry!"
"Haha, getting senile already?Eris: "(╬￣皿￣)凸"
"S-so that's how it is?""
Darkness was also getting confused by the two of them, looking at Eiji in bewilderment.
"So you didn't become the Demon King voluntarily?"
"Of course not. If you don't believe me, at least believe this wo—"
"I believe you!"
Darkness suddenly spoke up, emphasizing her words firmly.
This resolute declaration stirred a subtle sense of guilt in Eiji's heart.
No matter, he was pretty much getting tired of the Demon King game anyway. Once he stepped down from the Demon King position, with Eris's help, he could completely clear his name in one go!
"Besides, the D-Demon King and… and a knight are a perfect match!"
"So that's what you meant!Seeing Darkness blushing, breathless, and acting all shy, Eiji roared in anger—give me back my emotion!
Even though they'd already slept together, he still couldn't get used to Darkness's bizarre preferences!
"Hehe!"
Eris let out a gleeful laugh from the side.
What are you laughing at!
"Oh my, I actually never expected the goddess to disguise herself as a female thief!"
Eiji put on an awestruck expression.
"Female thief?"
Darkness showed a puzzled look upon hearing this.
"Why would the goddess disguise herself as a thief?"
Eris was immediately alarmed and quickly signaled Eiji with her eyes.
"I heard it was to fulfill the wish of a believer who's been friendless since childhood, so she specially came down from the heavens!"
"A believer who's been friendless since childhood…"
Darkness blinked.
Why does that sound somewhat familiar?
Disguised as a female thief… female thief… Prince Justice suddenly searching the whole kingdom for Chris…?
"…Lady Eris."
Eris, who had been tiptoeing toward the hall's exit, suddenly stopped and looked at Darkness with an awkward expression.
"May I ask what your relationship is with the female thief Chris?"
Darkness stared expressionlessly at the goddess she worshipped.
"Uh, well… if I said there's no special relationship, would you believe me?"
Eris instinctively scratched her cheek.
"…You don't have a scar on your face right now."
"Ah, sorry—uh!"
Eris stopped scratching her cheek, looking extremely embarrassed.
When disguised as Chris, she had developed the habit of scratching the scar on her face.
"I understand."
Darkness looked at the unapologetic Eiji and the remorseful Eris.
"Every single one of you has hidden talents! Only I was kept in the dark—was it fun?!"
"Not fun, not fun at all…"
Eris shook her head repeatedly.
"I don't believe you!"
Eiji looked at her with contempt.
"Coming down to earth yourself to be Darkness's friend, you must have found it amusing sometimes, thinking about how Darkness was kept in the dark!"
"How dare you make false accusations?"
"Because that's exactly what I would think!"
"…You're insane!"
Iris glared at him furiously.
Even if it were true, did you have to say it right now?!
"You two...!"
Darkness didn't know whether to be angry or not. With Eiji's interruption, she was momentarily at a loss for words.
"I'm done with you all!"
...
Evening.
"Darkness, are you okay?"
As soon as Darkness returned to the villa, Megumin approached her with a pitying look.
"I'm fine."
Darkness was confused by Megumin's expression, her face full of bewilderment.
"You don't have to put on a brave face, we understand!"
Aqua also came over, filled with indignation on Darkness's behalf.
"Not only were you slept with by the Demon King once, but twice! Even if you're so sad you've lost your memory, we understand!"
"Huh?"
"It's okay, Darkness. You should rest properly. Do you need me to draw a bath for you?Megumin's eyes were full of unable to bear the sight. In her eyes, Darkness changing back into regular clothes was no different from being unable to tolerate her body being defiled.
"Will you two wake up already? I was never slept with by the Demon King, okay!"
Darkness finally couldn't take it anymore and yelled at the two of them, but even she felt something was off after saying it.
"No, if I had to say, I actually was slept with by the Demon King once... Wait, that's not the point! I was never forced!"
"What? Don't tell me you enjoyed being raped by the Demon King, Darkness! I-I'm only thirteen, don't say such things in front of me!"
"You clearly look very interested!"
Darkness pointed at Megumin's crimson eyes and said angrily.
The fact that Crimson Demons' eyes glow when they're excited had become the tell that betrayed Megumin!
"Good evening..."
Just then, a silver-haired female thief walked in from the entrance, smiling awkwardly at everyone.
"Chris, what brings you here too?"
Kazuma sat up from the sofa, putting down his handheld game console as he asked curiously.
"Actually, it's not just me..."
Chris smiled very awkwardly and stepped aside to make way.
"Boss, you're back too?"
Appearing behind her was the boss who had been shamelessly staying at their house all this time.
Kazuma was about to invite him to play versus games when suddenly—
"Wow, so this is where Eiji-nii works as an adventurer?"
From behind Eiji, an incredibly cute loli jumped out!
Her golden hair cascaded down like fine sand, smooth and soft. Her emerald-green eyes were as clear as jade. Her features were slightly childish, making her look only about eleven or twelve years old, but her contours were already formed. Anyone would have to praise that she would definitely grow into a stunning beauty!
She wore a snow-white silk dress that made her appear as pure and adorable as a goddess.
The moment Kazuma saw that loli, he felt like his heart had been struck!
Such a healing loli!
He wanted to raise her as a little sister!
But she just called him "Eiji-nii"!
Oh, so she's the boss's loli after all!
Kazuma lost all interest.
With the boss, if you dare touch his things, you'll definitely die horribly!
It's not about how gruesome the death would be—it's about social death!
"Iris, your real brother is right here!"
Behind the golden-haired loli, a fair-haired, blue-eyed youth leaped out, similarly adorned in gold and silver that proclaimed his extraordinary status.
Yet at this moment, he was gazing at his younger sister with a resentful expression, wearing the perverted look of a creepy older brother desperately yearning to be called "oniichan" – completely undermining his noble bearing.
"Allow me to make the introductions!"
Darkness cleared her throat, speaking with solemn gravity.
"I believe you all know Prince Justice. This is Princess Iris, His Highness's younger sister. These two are the biological children of the current king and esteemed members of the royal family!"
