I was already tired of waiting for Conoles, she took Mallory, and they have been changing there for thirty minutes already.
"Well, finally..."
First Conoles came out, and then Mallory, all red.
Why? Well, because she was wearing a revealing bunny girl outfit with ears.
"Conoles, what does this mean?" I asked her.
"What? I think it's a pretty cute outfit."
"Cute? Yes, this outfit is mature!"
"Yes, calm down, I think the demon queen will appreciate it." she said
Sigh...
"Okay, let's go already, we've already wasted a lot of time." I said and went to the stairs.
"By the way, is the demon queen on your floor?"
"What? Why is she there?"
"You know, so they can meet on neutral ground." She said.
"Neutral ground? This is a demon tower, there is no neutral ground, for humans!" I replied.
"Well, Mallory is an exception..." I added.
When I got to my floor, I looked at Mallory, who was still blushing because of her outfit.
"Ready?" I asked her.
"No!" She answered honestly.
Then she added.
"But it has to be done!" I nodded and opened the door, entering my floor.
Mallory followed me and immediately stopped, as did I, in front of us stood the queen of demons, and everything would be fine, but... She was wearing a sexy dancer's outfit, damn Conoles, what are you trying to do?
She didn't react to me at all, but when she saw Mallory, she blushed a little.
Then I looked at Mallory, who had a nosebleed.
"Mallory..."- said the demon queen.
"Sorry!"- the girl shouted, bowing.
"What..."- she couldn't finish, because Mallory interrupted her.
"I shouldn't have made such a bad plan!"
"I..."
"But I was telling the truth, I love you! I love you very much!"
"Mal..."
"I'll understand if you hate me!"
"Stop..."
"I'll accept..."
"Mallory!"- shouted the demon queen
"Huh?"- Mallory tilted her head to the side.
"Why haven't you come to the tower for a week?"- the demon queen asked in a soft voice.
"Uh… Well, the thing is, I almost died because I didn't have any money left to revive myself." Mallory said, scratching the back of her head.
"What?!" Val exclaimed in shock, and I could clearly see the fear in her eyes. The fear of losing someone who had already taken a place in my heart.
I know this from personal experience…
The Demon Queen came up and hugged Mallory.
"Queen Val…"
"I'm glad you're okay, but Mallory, how did you die?" she asked.
"Eh… that was pretty stupid, I fell down the stairs!" Mallory replied.
"Oh my god, what can you do with you!" said the Demon Queen Vel.
"Ahem…" I coughed.
"And Miyabi?" Val asked.
"I'm so happy for you and your relationship…"
"You got it all wrong, we didn't…"
"We didn't, what? Stop lying to yourself, if you didn't care about her, you wouldn't be worried about her, you wouldn't have come up and hugged her!" I interrupted
"I…"
"That's it! You'll have time to develop this relationship later!
"But we don't have time for that! One of our settlements in the south was attacked by people, they're catching demons and putting them in cages, I think they want to sell them into slavery." I said
"WHAT?!" Val screamed, letting go of Mallory.
"Prepare a squad! I'm moving with them!"
I gave the order to the demon standing next to me and went after the demon queen myself.
I saw how others were trying to dissuade her from going there personally, but the demon queen was too stubborn.
So stubborn that she forgot that she was wearing a sexy dancer's outfit...
When I went outside, I saw a large squad of demons ready to perform. They were all riding some dinosaurs, this was probably the first time I saw many demons there, of course I had seen many in the tower, but these were single encounters.
The demon queen jumped on a creature that looked like a dinosaur and looked at me.
"How are you? "Coming?" she asked, holding out her hand to me.
I nodded and took her hand, thus she sat me down behind her. I grabbed her by the waist, and we moved out.
I hope Mallory won't be jealous... Damn, we completely forgot about Mallory, but knowing her, she will most likely follow us.
No, seriously? Mallory...
Yes, as expected, she followed us, putting on a hood with horns, and of course, only I noticed it, and she also looked at me with jealousy.
Forgive Mallory...
"Demon Queen, I'm afraid at this speed, we'll be late for the settlement," said one of the demons, catching up with us.
"You're right," she said, then turned around and said to me.
"Hold on tight!" I, of course, listened to her, and grabbed her waist tightly.
In the next moment, the world around me blurred, and I was already riding a dragon.
"Cool!" I exclaimed
We flew pretty fast, and in a matter of minutes we reached the settlement.
The demon queen landed on the ground, scaring the people on the ground.
"A dragon?!"
"Where did the dragon come from?!"
There was a murmur from the people below.
These are not soldiers…
These are ordinary people…
"Pitiful humans! You dare to enter our territory?! And even raise your hand against my subjects?!" - the demon queen growled and began to accumulate energy, which she released from her mouth a few seconds later. But suddenly Mallory appeared, putting up a barrier into which the beam hit.
"What?! Who..."
"He-he, hello dear!" - Mallory said, then fell head first.
"..." - me
"..." - the demon queen
"Ayushki, I almost broke my neck." - she said, getting up from the ground.
"Healing!" - she used magic to restore her life
"What are you doing here?!" Val exclaimed.
"Well, I would like to come in with a cool classic phrase: "I came to stop you", but..."
"I just came to check if everything is okay with you! That's all!"
I couldn't roll my eyes at Mallory's words, even though it was pretty funny.
While the couple was having a family quarrel, I jumped down to the ground and looked at the people in ordinary clothes, holding pitchforks and ordinary knives.
Yeah, they weren't soldiers, or even adventurers, they were all ordinary peasants!
"How did you even get here?!" Val asked.
"I grabbed your tail!"
"Pfft." I couldn't suppress a chuckle, as my imagination drew a flying dragon, Mallory holding its tail.
"It was pretty scary to look down, but I had a great view of your..." she said, frozen, then blushed.
"A hole!" she exclaimed, clutching her cheeks with her hands.
"AHAHAHAHAHAHA"-I couldn't hold back my laughter any longer, it was such an absurd situation.
Oh, it seems like a big and scary dragon blushed, ahahahaha.
"My what?!"
"You stupid piece-! You breaking all boundaries, little brats!!!"-the demon queen growled and attacked Mallory.
"It seems like their fight will drag on, let's get back to robbing!"-I heard the voice of one of the people.
"No, I don't think so!"-I said, they turned their attention to me.
Yes, even though they attacked the settlement, they are not soldiers or adventurers, so I don't want to spill blood with an unnecessary murder.
"And who will stop us? You?"-he asked.
"Yes!"-I answered and the next moment I was next to him, and knocked him out with one blow.
"Queen Val, it's so cool and wet down there…" I heard Mallory's voice, and looked at her.
The demon queen dragon was practically holding her in her mouth.
God, that's the most ambiguous phrase I've ever heard.
Turning my attention back to the people, I decided to knock them out too.
"DAMN!" I screamed, jumping away from the nearest building.
Why? Because that demon queen dragon fired her annihilator cannon at the village, setting it on fire, and almost hit me. I probably wouldn't have been hurt, but the clothes I had on… I wouldn't want to end up naked!
Okay, while the demon queen is fighting Mallory, I took all the people to a safe place. Yes, I know that they are guilty of attacking this settlement, and therefore deserve to die, but I could not decide on it, probably because of my past life, in which I was also a human.
Returning to the battle between the demon queen and Mallory, from which Hollywood can nervously smoke on the sidelines.
Of course, I noticed some white-haired guy, most likely he was an adventurer, but I did not pay attention, he himself did not interfere, but simply took all the people into the carriage and left.
"We have arrived Queen Velverosa!" - the cries of demons were heard, from above, where they were carried, I forgot what these winged demons are called.
Well, in general, they looked like people, but with wings instead of hands, and claws instead of feet.
And that's right, they were harpies!
"Go ahead, save ours ... And kill the people." - damn, this is bad.
Following her order, the demon army ran into the village
"No, wait…"
"Demon Queen…"
"STOP!!!"- screamed Mallory, and these words were imbued with very high magic.
All the demons stopped dead, except for me and the demon queen. I am not a demon, and Queen Val, because of her title of the demon queen, probably…
"DROPE DOWN YOUR WEAPONS!!!"- and true to her words, all the demons dropped their weapons.
"What did you do?"- asked Val, and the next moment, she pinned Mallory to the ground, grabbing her by the throat.
I was about to intervene right away, because it was no longer funny, but Mallory showed me with her hand so that I would not interfere.
"I AM ASKING YOU WHAT DID YOU DO?!" the demon queen screamed, and the next moment she turned Mallory's head to the side.
Mallory had a glowing purple heart on her neck.
"Malory… You…" I saw the rage raging in her eyes.
Yes, the person who betrayed the demon queen a long time ago was… A demon summoner!
As far as I know, it's hereditary, which means that the person was related to Mallory.
"Demon queen! We're here and not hurt!" the demons who were captured by the humans ran up to us.
Hmm… Who freed them…?
The demon queen loosened her grip, and let Mallory go, turning her back to her.
But Mallory, at that very second, hugged her from behind.
To her credit, she is as stubborn as the demon queen. As they say, "husband and wife, one Satan", although there are two wives, but that's not important!
"Thank you for believing in me! I'll explain everything later!" she said and ran away.
I saw a contradiction in the eyes of the demon queen.
On one hand, she had to kill her, because of the mark that could destroy all demons, but on the other hand, her heart wanted to believe her.
"Queen… no Val, are you okay?" I asked, walking up to her.
"Was it right for me to let her go?"
"I think you already know the answer to your question! I'll just give you some advice, trust your heart!"
"Trust your heart? I already did that, and it turned out pretty badly."
"Yes, but I'm sure things are different now!" I said, leaving the demon queen alone, giving her time to think, and I went to help the demons.
Time to come home!
