HeroxMaou Chapter 11

Goblin timidly followed Oliver in, but the moment he saw Cecilia sitting on the sofa, tears started spilling from his eyes in large drops. After being kidnapped by the hero, the demon lord is still safe.

Was she meeting a fate where she was better off dead…….Goblin had been horribly worried about that.

it might be…?

Immediately running to Cecilia’s side, he whispered ‘thank goodness’ over and over again.

reunion

“Cecilia-sama! Thank goodness, you are safe!”

“Goblin too……! Getting this injured. Are you okay?”

“Of course. Everyone else in the castle too, although many are injured, everyone is alright.”

no daths

Hearing Goblin’s words, Cecilia was moved to tears, ‘that’s good’.

All this time, she had been worried about the demon lord’s castle. But she is no match for Oliver and returning alone was also difficult. Because of that, she had been locking up the feelings of worry within her all this time.

Oliver no baka

“I had thought I could no longer meet Cecilia-sama anymore. Even though I wanted Cecilia-sama to run, hearing Cecilia-say no…….I feel like that is the first time I head that.”

“Even I, have things I cannot yield.”

good

And that is her own subordinates, Cecilia said that with tearful eyes. Hearing those words, Goblin felt so happy that he shed more large tears.

be proud

“Those words are more than we deserve……”

“Goblin too, thank you. It’s good, that you are safe.”

“Yeeees”

and for coming all this way~

Goblin, all the demonia in the demon lord’s castle are safe. This has brought great peace of mind to Cecilia.

no need to worry

Looking at the two of them through the corner of his eye, Oliver went to the kitchen to get drinks.

He brewed hot cocoa and added marshmallows.

not quite teatime tea

“Yep, this is good. Because Cecilia is cute, white fluffy marshmallows match her well.”

anything does

Imagining Cecilia drinking the cocoa he brewed, the corners of his mouth slackened. Since it is hot cocoa, she would sure drink it in small sips, imagining that, she was so unendurably cute.

In addition, he also put cake on the tray. Since Goblin is Cecilia’s subordinate, it is natural to welcome him. Looking at what he had prepared, Oliver smiled satisfiedly.

no just stay away

“Sorry for the wait.”

“!”

“…………”

read the mood

When Oliver returned to the living and called out, Goblin’s body jumped and trembled.

trauma

The existence known as the hero is very strong and weak demonia like Goblin cannot possibly oppose him. Goblin is well aware that he would be killed in an instant.

Feeling cold sweat trickle down his back, he thought he must at least save Cecilia somehow, but Oliver laughed, telling him he was wrong.

calm down

“It’s cocoa and cake. Goblin, wasn’t it difficult to come here alone? Relax and rest.”

“Eh……!? But, I am demonia.”

“Yep, I know. But, you are Cecilia’s subordinate.”

“Ha, haa”

“Here, drink up while it’s warm.”

no poison

Offered cocoa by Oliver, Goblin timidly reached his hand out for the hot cocoa. That hot cocoa which had marshmallows floating in it, is not something Goblin would normally drink.

Looking at goblin bow and say thank you before sipping the cocoa, Oliver offered hot cocoa to Cecilia too.

With a bright smile and “It’s delicious, try it?”, he made her hold it. Of course, he didn’t forget to warn her to be careful because it is hot.

cant have her scalding herself

“There’s also cake. Here, Cecilia likes cake with whipped cream right? Aaahn.”

“……no, no need!”

harenchi!

Oliver cut a bite-size portion of cake and happily carried it towards Cecilia’s mouth.

Cecilia turned away in denial, but Oliver persevered and did not give up. This is the usual tea time, Oliver has also learnt by experience.

just keep going?

“…………”

save her goblin

Watching the two of them, Goblin’s mouth dropped wide open.

In his mind was it ‘what is this bakaple!'(T/N: Baka couple) or ‘what are you forcing on Cecilia you son of a b.i.t.c.h!’.

latter please

Not knowing what he should say, Goblin just drank the prepared cocoa. While finding it delicious, he could only pray that this strange atmosphere resolve itself somehow.

save her!

“Here, open you mouth, aaahn.”

“…………”

“Heere.”

“No nee, nmu.”

“Fufu, it’s tasty right?”

force feeding!!!

When she opened her mouth to refuse, the cake was forced in.

She ate it since there was no other option, but Cecilia glared sharply at Oliver. Since Oliver found even this Cecilia cute, he is already beyond help.

way beyond

“……Cecilia-sama.”

“Goblin!……ahum. I’m okay.”

“No. It is just that you seem lively, so I am relived.”

……filter?

Seeing Cecilia so lively, while being relived——at the same time Goblin understood that he likely couldn’t bring her back to the castle.

He couldn’t believe that this hero would let go of Cecilia and currently the demon lord’s castle is undergoing repairs, so Cecilia would not be able to relax there.

so leave her with a pervert?

Then it might be better to let her live here without any inconveniences…….Goblin thought that.

traitor

“In truth, I wanted to return to the demon lord’s castle together with Cecilia-sama.”

“To the castle……!”

goblin in shining bandages

Certainly, if able to, Cecilia wants to go back to the demon lord’s castle.

But right here, there is the hero Oliver that is much more terrifying than the demon lord. They cannot escape so easily. No, it’s impossible.

One might want to ask what’s up with the hero being more terrifying than the demon lord, but that is how it is so it can’t be helped.

..too strong

“……sorry, for being an incompetent demon lord.”

…..

Hanging her head, an apology leaked from Cecilia’s lips.

Losing to the hero too easily, she was kidnapped. Just how much trouble has she caused them, it is immeasurable. The feeling of being apologetic, the chagrin from being weak.

….

In response, Goblin panickedly shook his head.

talk sense into her

“There is no such thing, Cecilia-sama! It is us, that were unable to protect Cecilia-sama. Despite that, such kind words……we do not deserve them.”

“……Goblin.”

sounds like a tragic love story

It’s like the two of them were in a world of their own, Oliver thought that as he watched them.

jealous?

He thought about what to do about this goblin, but he could get Cecilia to listen to his request. For now it would be a better plan to endure and respond maturely.

Nodding to himself, Oliver made a suggestion.

“Oh yeah, Goblin. You are already tired today right? I’ll prepare a room, so you can stay over.”

“……eh?”

“Why, would the hero do something like that? Treating Cecilia so preciously, and letting me stay. Why would you-”

“That’s decided. Cecilia is cute, so cute that I can’t help it. So if Goblin staying over would make Cecilia happy then I’ll welcome you.”

siple

Smiling brightly, he expressed his thoughts without any falsehood.

Of course he feels jealous watching Cecilia happily talk with Goblin, but he is thinking of having that balanced out with the request in the future.

As Cecilia and Goblin were worrying about what to do, things were decided with Goblin’s “please”.

no discussion?

“…….tha”

“N? What was that, Cecilia?”

“…………thank you.”

……CUTE

In a small voice, Cecilia thanked Oliver. Oliver responded with “you are welcome” in his usual voice, but his mind was in a huge mess.

hold back!

——-what, is this cute thing. It’s so cute I want to eat it up, I want to hug it.

no

No.
