Chapter 46: Secrets in the Lion King’s Room

Why…

Why why why why why why why…

That Demon Dragon has only known the Young Master for a few days…

Why did the Young Master kiss her first…

Then what about me?

Aiki’s resentment in her heart was almost turning into reality…

She felt like her own backyard was on fire…

But Joey and Chiyang didn’t notice at all, and the three of them just walked toward where Leona lived…

Leona lived in a military camp outside the Demon King’s Castle.

Her room was clean and simple.

Rather than calling it a home…it was more like a military dormitory.

When Joey entered the room, he saw Leona lying on the bed, four Necromancers nearby, and Veiweiya standing in the corner with a slightly relieved expression.

The four Necromancers were about to salute when Joey walked in, but Joey waved his hand to tell them not to disturb Leona’s rest.

Since the Demon Race had almost no medical system, let alone restorative magic like a Priest’s, Joey had to temporarily assign Necromancers who had learned Resurrection Spell into the medical system.

One of the Necromancers walked to Joey’s side and bowed.

“Demon King-sama… Lady Leona’s body is fine, just some minor burns and magic exhaustion.”

“She should recover after a good sleep.”

“Oh, so she was just tired from playing…”

Joey nodded and then smiled at the Necromancer.

“You’ve all worked hard too.”

The Necromancer stared blankly at Joey’s smile for a moment, then blushed slightly and nodded.

“Then, Demon King-sama, we will take our leave.”

Joey nodded, then looked around Leona’s place.

“It’s my first time in Leona’s room… It matches the impression she gives me…”

Clean and stiff…

Veiweiya was sitting beside Leona, looking at her with a worried face.

“Ahh… Young Master Joey is here… What a considerate Demon King to his subordinates…”

“It’s just passing by, not like I came specifically to check on her…”

Joey pouted, sounding a little tsundere.

“This child is really hardworking…”

Veiweiya leaned on her hand and looked at Leona.

“When Leona was carried away on the stretcher just now, she grabbed my hand and told me…”

“Before I die, I just want to see you and Joey get married…”

She turned her head, took Joey’s hand, and spoke in a heartbroken tone.

“So… For Leona, the two of us should get married too…”

The boy stared coldly at Veiweiya.

“That Necromancer just told me… Leona’s just overworked and will be fine after some sleep…”

“You’re really shameless… Using this as an excuse to propose to me…”

“Tch…”

Veiweiya turned away in annoyance.

“Didn’t think you’d catch on…”

“Hah… I really don’t want to deal with you…”

Joey rolled his eyes at Veiweiya, but at that moment he saw Leona beside him open her eyes.

“Nn… Joey… You’re here?”

As soon as Leona saw Joey, her face flushed and she sat up immediately.

“Why…so sudden… I wasn’t ready at all, I didn’t even clean up my room!!”

Leona scrambled, then buried her head in the pillow.

“You…as the Demon King, barging into a subordinate’s room! How improper!!”

“This isn’t the time for formalities…”

Joey complained helplessly.

“The room’s already clean, what’s there to tidy up…”

But Aiki at the side noticed something unusual…

She saw…

A doujinshi on Leona’s bookshelf…

The title was…

“…”

Aiki stared at the doujinshi in silence…

She actually had the same one…

Both were convention-exclusive works released at the Doujinshi Convention held in the Entia Kingdom…

Aiki still remembered the content…

“Hmph! With employees like you, I could fire ten a day!!”

Until the end…

“Ohohohoho!!! You’ve become the shape of a small fry! There’s no going back!!!”

Most importantly…

The boss in the manga looked exactly like Joey…

What a classic doujinshi…

Aiki recited in her heart.

On the other side, Chiyang and Joey exchanged greetings with the just-awakened Leona.

“This time, you got lucky and won…”

Leona looked at the red-haired beauty Chiyang before her.

“But you Dragonkin really are tough… Next time I’ll be ready.”

“Tch…I’ll be waiting… loser.”

Chiyang flashed her shark teeth at Leona.

Ahh…

Classic battle-forged sisterly bonds…

She gave a light hum.

Joey watched the two praising each other, satisfied that his own inner plot was unfolding.

He crossed his arms and felt proud.

“But…that weird weapon of yours, where did you get it? Can I take a look?”

Leona suddenly recalled the weapon in Chiyang’s hand and asked.

“Huh? That… Arya made it for me.”

“Arya? That half-dwarf, half-human?!”

Leona asked in surprise.

“Chiyang, if you didn’t have that weapon’s blessing, there’s no way you could have beaten me!”

“That’s simple…”

Joey smiled knowingly from the side.

“I already asked Arya to make one for you, too. It’ll be delivered in a few days.”

“Eh? Even so…I won’t be swayed by your small favors!”

Leona said in a tsundere tone.

“Got it, got it…”

Joey nodded, then leaned over to whisper in Leona’s ear.

“I saw it… During your fight with Chiyang, you held back and even gave her advice.”

Leona’s face turned red.

“After all, Chiyang’s a good Giant Sword prospect… Even if she’s a bit reckless…”

“Heh… You really are gentle…”

Joey gave Leona a playful look.

“Eh?”

Only then did Leona realize how close she and Joey were.

Her face instantly turned red and she stepped back half a pace.

“I’m not…gentle at all…”

“Fufu…”

Joey watched Leona swing her small feet in a tsundere manner and just smiled without saying more.

“I know, I know… Rest well, okay…”

As Joey spoke, he glanced at Leona’s desk.

“Hey! Don’t look at my stuff!!! Joey!”

Leona glared at Joey.

“Why so stingy…”

Joey muttered, shrugging his shoulders.

“If you don’t want me to look, I won’t…”

And so the boy waved his hand and left Leona’s place with Chiyang and Leona…

Only Aiki, a little stunned, glanced at Leona’s desk…

On the desk…

There were manuscripts…

Eh?

Aiki’s eyes widened and she looked at the drawings again…

!!!

These manuscripts…

Aren’t they for next month’s pre-release!!!

The latest doujinshi…

Could it be…

Aiki looked at Leona, who was chatting with Joey…

Leona was her favorite doujinshi author! Ms. Leon who wanted to break her boss!!!

So…

Leon = Lion = Lion King = Leona!!!

Her favorite lewd doujinshi author was actually her colleague!!!

And she also liked the Young Master just like herself!!!
