Reincarnated in the Alternate World, I'm A Demonic Lord as Well as a Villager-Chapter 582 - 303: So This Is the So-Called Outerworld
If last night I resolved my desires through a bout of madness, then about the coming-of-age ceremony...
"In that case, I was basically crazy the whole time last night, completely out of time..."
"No. That’s not it."
The Bone Frame directly interrupted, brimming with confidence as she looked at Shami.
"You did everything you needed to do."
Shami, standing on the bed, lost the light in her eyes, her legs gave out, and she slowly kneeled on the bed.
"No!!!"
"What’s the matter, Shami? Shouting this early in the morning, your waking temper is too strong!"
At that moment, amidst Shami’s desperate cries, a crisp and melodious young girl’s voice rang in the room as a Teleportation Gate slowly appeared in the bedroom.
The background on the other side of the Teleportation Gate was a certain forest, where girls with gold, white, purple, and black hair were gathered, whispering while walking into the Teleportation Gate.
"Digging a few tunnels underground that could collapse anytime hardly qualifies as an Underground City, even moles can do that."
"And the quality of these tunnels is too poor. There’s a serious safety hazard from the foundation; a single Fireball Magic inside would cause a collapse."
"I say, Lureya, you might as well join my city maze and open a franchise in other cities, I’ll only charge you 30,000 gold for the franchise fee."
"Shh, shh, shh! I brought you here to help build an Underground City, not to nitpick. If Shami hears this, my year-end bonus is gone, shh!"
The Elf Maiden put her finger in front of her lips, repeatedly urging the three girls in front of her, who only nodded reluctantly before turning and entering the Teleportation Gate.
But as soon as the Teleportation Gate opened, Shami’s cries came through.
"No!!!"
"What’s the matter, Shami? Shouting this early in the morning, your waking temper is too strong!"
The Elf Maiden led with a coquettish shout.
The four girls walked into the bedroom and immediately saw Shami kneeling on the bed, head raised in a roar.
The view expanded, and the picture in their eyes gradually completed itself.
The four girls saw the extremely messy bedroom and the Bone Frame sitting next to Shami, clutching the quilt.
"..."
Strange, no matter how you look, it just seems strange. It’s entirely impossible to imagine what happened here before.
The four girls’ minds temporarily froze.
The already despairing voice became even more so, like gravel swallowed in the throat, ’No!’ became a choking echo, and seeing the four girls, Shami’s whole demeanor instantly turned black and white.
It’s over, the last people who shouldn’t appear have appeared now, and all at once, it’s four of them.
This must be what’s called the end of one’s life, the life of a Demon King is about to end at this moment.
"Shami, you lost all your vitality in an instant, like you suddenly died!"
The Elf Maiden frowned and hurriedly stepped forward.
The last glimmer of the will to live appeared in Shami’s mind, her pupils that had begun to drift urgently retracted back.
There is still a ray of hope! As long as I can plausibly make this seem like a scene of an assassination attempt on the Demon King, there might be a chance to survive!
Shami’s hands trembled with either excitement or fear, and at this critical moment where life and death hang in balance, the Bone Frame, who had been observing Shami’s situation, stepped forward and gently held Shami’s hand.
"Lady Shami, leave this to me."
The Bone Frame looked up at Shami, in the gaze shared between human and skeleton, Shami unexpectedly saw reliability and determination in those eye sockets.
The Bone Frame pulled itself together, stood up straight, put its right hand on its chest, as if ready for sacrifice, and stood in front of Shami.
"Miss Lureya... Miss Lina... Miss Saili... Miss Elze... everything that happened last night was of my own volition!"
The Bone Frame’s indignant voice echoed through the bedroom. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"That’s even more despairing, Bone Frame! You’ve blocked my only way out!"
Shami had a face full of the desire to die and pried away the thumb-up given secretly by the Bone Frame.
The room fell into a deep silence, and Shami sensed something terrible was going to happen. She stiffly turned her head to look at the four Demon Envoy girls.
The girls collectively widened their eyes.
"Huh?!" ×4
[Five minutes later]
The Demon King’s bedroom fell silent again, but now the quiet atmosphere carried with it an air capable of executing the Demon King.
The four girls surrounded the bed, Shami wrapped herself in a quilt in the corner of the bed. The Bone Frame was openly explaining the evidence.
"That’s how it happened..."
The Bone Frame’s voice gradually fell.
The four girls’ wide eyes fixed on the Bone Frame, appraising it from skull to toe bone.
The Elf Maiden’s small mouth slightly trembled open.
"You mean that last night Shami couldn’t resist the skeleton maid’s curiosity, you jokingly moved a little, and that ignited the flames?"
"Yes. It’s all my fault for dressing too provocatively usually. Bone Frame plus black silk maid attire, even a Demon King couldn’t withstand such temptation. Plus, when I first joined the demon tribe, I had already fascinated Lady Shami with just a pair of silk stockings. I underestimated my allure to Lady Shami."
"How can you complete such strange reasoning! The foreshadowing laid at that time wasn’t meant for this! This is about how the Demon King level exploded into a critical class and the evil power within burst forth, turning into lust that completely controlled the Demon King, causing her to lose all reason!"
