(OwO) – Enjoy the chapter∼♥

The golden door was suddenly blown away along with a part of the nearby wall, generating a lot of dust and rubble. But on the other side of all that dust, Firia saw the figure of a tall man entering the room–

“–I finally found you, Firia.”

“A…van…?”

The Demon King, Avant… he was the man standing on the entrance of the room.

But contrary to what would be the normal reaction in this kind of situation, Avant wasn't angry, or trying to kill Firia and Luke, he was just relieved that she was alright.

Avant then used a spell and teleported Firia to his arms–

“…”

–A strange feeling then started enveloping her body, Firia wasn't scared anymore, she felt strangely secure on his arms, so all of her pent up emotions flooded in all at once.

Firia then buried her face on Avant's neck and hugged him—

“…*Hic*…It was…*Sob*…scary…*Hic*…the tentacles—”

—But because she was crying right now, Firia couldn't even thank Avant for rescuing her.

“—You don't have to force yourself… I'll keep hugging you, so take your time and cry all you want.”

“*Hic*…Un…*Sob*”

To tell the truth, Avant was a bit overwhelmed by Firia's cuteness, he wanted to find an empty room and…… well, do the usual with her.

But dealing with Luke was the top priority for Avant right now.

“Fufufu, so my barriers couldn't even stop the Demon King… that really sucks….”

The Treasury was both Luke's private office and his room, since he was in charge of the Kingdom's finances and the army. But because of that, most of the servants didn't know that Luke's private chambers was the treasury itself.

However, according to what Rebeca told Avant, when she suddenly barged in on his office with a pale face, someone was escorting Firia to the Treasury, although, she never told Avant who was that person, since he had to go save Firia.

When Avant finally reached the Steel Tower's 2nd sub-floor, he started to hear a woman's scream echoing on the entire floor…… and because he knew whose voice those screams belonged to, Avant snapped and destroyed all of the barriers that Luke had placed on the corridors leading to the this room.

“Hey Avant… do you really think I'm out of trump cards?”

Firia started to tremble when she heard that Luke still had his trump cards, so Avant hugged her even more tightly, which made Firia a bit relieved and calm–

“Well, it's unfortunate, but I only manage to steal her lips.”

–But Luke managed to make her angry with that bold statement.

“Then why the h.e.l.l are you still clutching your left hand, hah!? If you're gonna lie, then do it right, you sick pervert!!!”

“Hooo∼, so he really tried to kiss you….” – Said Avant, obviously annoyed that Luke almost kissed Firia.

“Y-yeah… b-but I bit his hand before he could do anything.”
