Chapter 262
Chapter 262: Honeymoon (3)
The next morning.
‘It’s already morning?’
Jung Minwoo rubbed his eyes as he woke up.
He had never fallen asleep since becoming the Demon Lord, but for the first time, he slept.
‘Did I sleep for about an hour?’
One hour.
Considering that he hadn’t slept for even a minute after reaching a certain rank, he realized that he had slept for a really long time.
‘Is Venus awake?’
He turned his gaze to look at Venus lying next to him.
Snore—
He could see her sleeping soundly.
‘She must be tired.’
The moment Jung Minwoo tried to recall yesterday’s memories.
“Mmm…… Did you sleep well?”
Venus woke up and greeted him.
“Yeah, I slept well.”
Jung Minwoo stroked Venus’s hair at her appearance and answered her question.
“That’s good.”
Seeing Venus smiling bashfully, Jung Minwoo found himself smiling along.
“Shall we go out? We need to eat breakfast.”
Th i s w a s c o p ied f r om k ing m t l.o r g
“Okay.”
As they got out of bed and went out of the room with Venus.
Sizzle—
They could see Elin and Sayori cooking in the kitchen.
“Were you cooking?”
Jung Minwoo asked in a slightly flustered voice, as he didn’t know they would be preparing breakfast together.
“Yes, we came out first and were cooking.”
At Sayori’s answer.
“I should have come out earlier. I’m sorry.”
Jung Minwoo apologized for coming out late.
“Don’t be sorry. You can cook lunch for us, Minwoo-nim.”
“Okay.”
Elin, who was listening to the conversation from the side, frowned slightly and.
“……No, Minwoo, don’t.”
She shook her head, opposing him cooking.
“Huh, why? I’ll cook lunch.”
Th is w as co p i e d fr o m k i n g m t l . o rg
He felt sorry for just eating without doing anything, so he said he would cook with Venus at lunch, but.
“……It’s okay.”
Elin’s opinion was firm.
“Is there a reason?”
When he asked for a reason, unable to understand her adamant attitude.
“……Minwoo, you can’t cook.”
Elin looked around cautiously and told him the reason.
“……”
A very valid reason.
‘I understand the reason…… but I can’t help but feel wronged.’
Who would have thought that a demon wouldn’t be able to eat spicy food?
‘I thought they would eat it well, of course.’
It was a baseless thought, but he had a vague belief that they would eat better than the pigeons.
‘I feel wronged, but I have nothing to say……’
The impression of the kimchi stew was too strong to refute his grievance.
“I can’t help it if that’s the reason.”
In the end, Jung Minwoo gave up persuading and accepted reality.
“……We’ll make the food. You just have to eat deliciously, Minwoo.”
“Instead, I’ll do the dishes.”
“……Okay.”
Thus, Jung Minwoo, who was forcibly banned from cooking.
Squeak, squeak—
He spent time washing the dishes piled up in the sink.
“Then, I’ll help with the cooking from now on.”
Venus said she would help from now on and started assisting with their cooking.
Afterward, the food was finished and.
“I’ll enjoy the meal.”
They had a delicious meal time.
As they played, night came before they knew it.
‘Who’s coming tonight?’
Jung Minwoo was alone in the room, waiting for their decision like yesterday.
‘They said they would exclude the demon who slept first, so Venus won’t come again. Then it’ll be either Elin or Sayori.’
As he was waiting while reading a book.
Creak—
The door opened and a figure walked in.
He closed the book and turned his gaze to the door.
“You’re here?”
Elin was standing there.
“……Hello.”
Elin blushed and waved her hand.
“Let’s lie down and rest.”
Since his feelings hadn’t deepened like Venus yet, Jung Minwoo pointed to the bed with a comfortable heart and suggested they lie down together.
“……Okay.”
Elin nodded and lay down next to him on the bed.
T hi s w as c opi e d fr om ki n g m t l. o r g
“……What do we do now?”
She asked what they were going to do from now on.
“We’ll spend time talking.”
“……Talk?”
“Yeah, we haven’t had time to talk deeply together, right?”
“……That’s true.”
“So let’s talk a lot about things we haven’t been able to talk about.”
“……Okay.”
They had been busy running around, so they didn’t have time to talk to each other. He wanted to talk a lot with this opportunity.
“Feel free to say anything you want to say.”
When he asked if she had anything she wanted to say.
“……Mmm.”
Elin fidgeted with her fingers and.
“……I don’t know.”
She lowered her head and replied that she didn’t know what to say.
“Then, shall we start with the training center story?”
“……Training center?”
“Yeah, for example, we can talk about what our first impressions of each other were.”
“……Okay.”
Jung Minwoo decided to lead the conversation for Elin and asked her a question.
“What was your first impression of me, Elin?”
“……First impression.”
“You can speak comfortably.”
Elin, who received the question, tilted her head and fell into thought for a moment.
“……I just thought you were a new demon who joined.”
She said she really didn’t think much of him.
‘This is the level of having no interest……?’
He was inwardly flustered by the unexpected answer.
“……What was your first impression of me, Minwoo?”
Elin asked back.
‘First impression……’
Jung Minwoo recalled his memory of when he first saw Elin.
T hi s w a s co p i e d f r om k i ngm t l . o r g
‘Unlike now, she was very young back then.’
She now had the appearance of a lady, but at that time, she had the appearance of a girl.
Of course, she had the appearance of a girl until a few days ago.
‘When I first saw her, I felt she was cold but very cute.’
He thought that with her doll-like appearance, she would have become very famous as a child actress if she had been born on Earth instead of the Demon World.
‘Now, I think she would succeed as an actress, not a child actress.’
After finishing his silly thoughts.
“You were very cute.”
He answered honestly.
“……Yes.”
Perhaps she liked the answer, Elin blushed as she twirled her hair with her finger.
“……What about now?”
“Now you’re cute and pretty.”
He immediately answered her following question.
“……Thank you.”
The corners of Elin’s mouth started to twitch.
“Then, what about me now?”
“……You’re very cool now, Minwoo.”
“Really?”
“……Yes.”
“Thank you for evaluating me well.”
After opening the conversation like that.
“So……”
“……So……”
The two continued their conversation smoothly.
From the training center story to the recent story.
As they talked, dawn was already breaking outside the window.
“Has time passed this quickly already?”
He was surprised that it was already dawn while they were chatting.
“……Minwoo.”
Elin called out to him in a serious voice.
“Why?”
T h i s w a s c o p i e d f rom k i n g m t l. or g
He answered, feeling puzzled by her different voice.
“……What do you think of me?”
She suddenly asked him what he thought of her.
“What do you mean by what do I think of you?”
“……I’m asking what you think of me as the opposite sex……”
At times like this, it was courtesy to answer honestly without any lies, so Jung Minwoo spoke his mind.
“I can’t say I like you very much…… but my heart is leaning towards you.”
Jung Minwoo, who answered honestly.
‘What if she’s disappointed?’
He was worried that they might become awkward because of this.
However, that was just a needless worry.
“……Phew, that’s a relief.”
Elin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled brightly.
“A relief?”
Th i s wa s co p i e d f rom k i n g m t l . o r g
“……Yes, if you have feelings, I’m confident I can make you like me.”
Seeing her confident appearance.
‘Was Elin this bold……?’
He felt a different charm from Elin.
Afterward, Jung Minwoo and Elin spent time talking until the sun rose.
The sun rose completely.
Step, step, step—
Jung Minwoo was strolling along the beach with Sayori.
One might wonder why they were walking on the beach out of the blue, but.
‘When did they decide this……’
The reason was simple.
They felt that spending one night in a room together wasn’t enough, so they made time to spend alone together in the morning as well.
‘And Sayori won the rock-paper-scissors this time.’
Th i s w as c o p i e d fr o m k i n gm t l. or g
Perhaps it was because she won rock-paper-scissors for the first time since coming on their honeymoon.
“~”
Sayori was very excited, humming to herself.
“It’s nice to walk on the beach in the morning.”
He approached her and spoke to her because it seemed like she would hum to herself the whole time.
Thi s w a s c o p i e d fr o m k ing mtl .o r g
Then Sayori smiled brightly and.
“I don’t know about that, but it’s definitely nice to walk with someone you like.”
She replied that it was better to walk together than on the beach.
At her straightforward answer, Jung Minwoo scratched his head and.
“……Uh, thank you.”
He smiled awkwardly and thanked her.
“Hehehe, you’re cute.”
“……Huh? What do you mean?”
“You’re cute because your face turned red with one word.”
“Ah……”
At Sayori’s words, Jung Minwoo belatedly realized that his face had turned red and touched his face with his hand.
‘……My face is a bit hot.’
If it were like before, he would have calmly countered with a joke and moved on, but now, he felt strangely unable to respond.
‘And my face wouldn’t have turned red either.’
He was puzzled by his different reaction for a moment.
‘My feelings have grown.’
Jung Minwoo realized that his feelings for Sayori had grown in a good way.
The moment he tried to think about when his feelings started to grow.
“I was sad before because you seemed to have no interest at all, but now I’m happy because you seem to have feelings for me.”
Sayori blushed slightly and spoke to him.
“Haha.”
He laughed awkwardly, not knowing how to respond to her words.
T h i s w a s c o p i e d fr o m k i n g m tl. o r g
“You’re not denying it, are you?”
She asked with sparkling eyes.
“Because it’s true.”
He didn’t feel the need to hide his feelings, so he answered honestly.
“That’s a relief. Actually, I was worried about what to do if you didn’t like me.”
Sayori breathed a sigh of relief and.
“But why did you avoid me so much before?”
She suddenly puffed out her cheeks and questioned him about why he avoided her until now.
“Uh…… Do I have to answer……?”
“Yes, I really want to hear it.”
Jung Minwoo showed reluctance and.
“Because you approached me too aggressively. I avoided you because it was burdensome……”
He could feel her determination to hear it, so he recalled the memory of that time and told her the reason.
“……You didn’t like the aggressive type.”
As if she had learned something new, Sayori muttered to herself and nodded.
“Do you still dislike the aggressive type?”
“Now that I have feelings, I don’t dislike it.”
“Ah, you disliked it because you didn’t have feelings.”
T h is w a s c o pi e d fr o m kin g m tl . o r g
When he answered her question, Sayori nodded again.
“I’m glad it’s okay now.”
Hug—
She linked arms with him and leaned on his shoulder.
“Shall we walk?”
“……Let’s.”
As they walked along the beach like that.
【Your bond with ‘Sayori’ has deepened, allowing you to copy her unique trait ‘Massacre’】
A message window suddenly popped up in front of him.
‘It says I can copy her unique trait……?’
Jung Minwoo tilted his head, looking at the message window.
‘It says my bond has deepened……?’
He had given up about half of it because he hadn’t been able to copy Sayori’s unique trait until now.
‘It was strange, but I didn’t pay much attention to it because I didn’t know the reason.’
However, now he seemed to know why he hadn’t been able to copy it until now.
The reason was.
‘It means she doesn’t feel a bond unless the relationship is this deep.’
It meant that she didn’t feel a bond unless it was a deep relationship.
If there was a demon who felt a bond with just a little acquaintance, there would be a demon who felt a bond only after seeing each other for hundreds of years.
The criteria for feeling a bond were bound to be different for each demon.
‘I wasn’t thinking about such an obvious fact.’
He was embarrassed that he hadn’t realized such an obvious reason until now.
‘It’s fine now that I know.’
Jung Minwoo decided not to think too deeply about it and enjoy his time with Sayori for now.
Afterward, the week passed quickly, and their honeymoon came to an end.
