Ever since the Great Demon King was confirmed exterminated by the Humans, the harbingers of doom had taken only three days to spread the news of her death to every corner of this land.
The construction of towering skyscrapers takes years and months, but their collapse only requires a moment.
“Ever since that Demon King died at Mount Aisa, the demon clans have never united; they only have slaves, absolute obedience…”
Han Shiyu furrowed her brows, her clear gaze now tinged with hesitation. “As a pure-blood Human, I should despise the Demon King, an absolute enemy, and certainly shouldn’t feel anything close to respect…”
“There’s not a single good thing among demons.” Laniya showed no sympathy toward the pink-haired dwarf’s opinion. “I get disgusted just hearing the word ‘demon’ now.”
She had not forgotten that her master disappeared after battling the demons, and almost everyone believed her master wasn’t missing but had perished… Recently, she had been fooled again by a pitiful human girl, who kindly asked for help but ended up telling her:
That pitiful human girl was actually a demon in disguise, a mysterious demon powerful enough to fool even Laniya, a named Brave!
Laniya was furious.
Furious at herself for being so weak; three years ago or now, she was still the useless idiot who couldn’t do anything.
Always deceived.
Seeing her disciple’s expression worsen, the arrogant Vyea slightly reined herself in. She knew exactly who was to blame for their current predicament.
It was false to say she wasn’t guilty; Vyea didn’t even dare to look into her disciple’s eyes, who was kept in the dark.
“Guilty conscience” probably described her perfectly.
Sighing deeply in her heart, the person Vyea least wanted to face now was her own disciple. She would keep her human identity in her loli form, but she would not keep the current disguised identity.
In the script Vyea wrote for herself, her loli form would be the protagonist of this drama.
As the protagonist, she would appear as the new Human Brave she was certain that the Brave seats were far from full now.
When the entire city fell into darkness and despair, the protagonist—her—would emerge, bearing a brand-new Brave’s power that had never before been seen in this world.
At that time, all misunderstandings would be cleared up, and all Humans connected to her loli identity would not suffer.
Having learned from the bitter lessons of last time, when everything was sacrificed, this time, she must succeed.
Who says only those standing in the light can be called Braves?
Right.
Exhaling deeply from the bottom of her heart, Vyea was filled with determination.
But…
Her current identity was not the protagonist of the script, but the demon who appeared as the boss, the demon that would bring despair to Humans.
Thinking this, Vyea looked dumbfounded at the worried faces around her, her gray eyes seeming to hide concern:
“Something big seems to be happening outside. Shall we go take a look?”
Under everyone’s sharp gazes, she immediately raised both hands. “Don’t worry, I know you suspect me. So please, put handcuffs on me.”
“I will cooperate with your work wholeheartedly!”
With that, Vyea voluntarily clasped her hands together and extended them toward the pink-haired dwarf.
“Put the handcuffs on me. If you’re still not at ease, feel free to use leg shackles as well.”
“Ahri?”
Han Shiyu was stunned by the suspect’s sincerity. Didn’t the suspect know that once fitted with special handcuffs and shackles, whether demon or Human, their power would be restricted to that of a three-year-old child?
So confident?
“Well then, since big sister insists, little sister has no choice but to comply~”
Han Shiyu looked troubled but helped Vyea to stand from the ground using her bound hands, then rubbed her waist and snapped her fingers.
Snap!
She smiled faintly at the Arbitration Office Director, who squinted like an old man, and said:
“Boss, why not give the prettiest sister the best handcuffs we have here? No cheap, ugly ones, please~”
