After the lovers' quarrel(?) between Yuria and the demon king concluded, Yuria eventually decided to learn various skills from the demon king.

But the results were tragic. Just where did that lovey-dovey atmosphere from just now go. But instead, the demon king, behaving quite unlike his normal easygoing ways, was actually acting like a demon king.

”You idiiiiiooooooottt!!!!”

The one being called an idiot by the demon king, the greatest hero on the continent, Yuria, looking like a kicked puppy said,

”I thought did it wrong because I dug too deep!”

”Who else would think like you?!”

Out in the fields, the demon king had came out with Yuria to teach her how to farm, but in the brief period of time that he had gone for a drink, Yuria had somehow blocked half the waterways in the field.

”A-at least put up some signs!”

Yuria tried to rebut. But needless to say, there was no way anyone would buy into those excuses.

”Then, ask one of the village kids. They'd probably just call you an idiot?”

”Hiiiiii~”

With an expression that looked like she was about to let loose her own waterworks, Yuria started clearing up the waterways again.

Looking at this sight, the demon king sighed.

'I think I've been sighing too much lately?'

He didn't think he'd sighed this much before, even back when he was stuck calculating a year's budget for the demon world. With a peculiar look in his eyes, he stared at Yuria. He couldn't help but compare this pretty, few-swords-short-of-an-armory village girl with the spirited killer out for his blood that he'd first met.

The funny thing was, he actually found this figure of her digging up trenches, cute.

”Tch. Looks like I've properly gone crazy as well.”

But, he didn't dislike it. Rather, he did like it.

It was when a smile had spread across the demon king's face,

”Aeiit!”

Maybe it was a rock in the soil, but Yuria, frustrated at her lack of progress, added her ki to the shovel and dug.

Problem being, before this, she was very, very good with the sword.

Already having basically lived for the sword, to Yuria, the shovel was but another slightly oddly-shaped blade.

Under this overpowering force, naturally, the rock broke, the trench was also dug much deeper than the normal waterway… and the rice planted beside it was also blown away.

”Go die, you idiot!”

The demon king blew up for the second time.

”Done.”

Letting out a sigh, the demon king looked at the painstakingly completed rice fields.

”Huu, farming is hard work after all. But, it was worth it!”

Yuria replied with a pointlessly happy sweet smile.

”Although, it took three times longer than it should have due to a certain someone.”

”Urk…”
