EP.3 How to Embarrass the Demon King
The sound of urine trickling down.
The source was none other than Satiana, the leader of the Demon King's army.
Her face, flushed red, looked quite provocative.
"Haa... We've made the contract, so... just hurry up and get out...!"
Satiana glared at me with a flustered expression.
But that was all she could do-she couldn't do anything except glare.
"I never said I'd leave just because we made the contract."
"Eh...? Wh-what do you mean...?"
"I only said it'd be better if I left. I never promised I would."
"Ugh... And you still call yourself a hero...!"
She looked at me as if she'd been wronged.
But now that we'd made a master-servant contract, she had no way to resist.
"I'll leave, but before that, let's decide what we'll do from now on."
"Huff... Th-that... we can do after you leave..."
"You already saw everything before leaving, so what's a few more seconds?"
"Ugh..."
She looked like she wanted to say more, but didn't know what to say because of the stream of urine.
Unfortunately, it didn't look like she could stop in the middle.
The sound of urine continued to echo.
She just looked at me with moist, helpless eyes.
"Hii...! Haa...♥"
"We're going to be on the same side from now on, so let's just call this a bit of bonding."
"Ugh... Wh-who said that... Haa...! It won't stop... Ugh...!"
Satiana's body shuddered once.
The stream didn't stop; it seemed to flow even more as her strength left her.
Her face, stained with shame, looked strangely alluring.
Just watching was enough to make me feel guilty.
It made me think that joining the Demon King's army wasn't a bad idea after all.
"Still... I never thought the Demon King's peeing would be this sexy."
"Ugh... I didn't do this for you to see...!"
"I know. I barged in all of a sudden."
"If you know that... hii... hurry up and get out...!"
It was already too late to leave.
While we were talking, the sound of water had faded a lot.
That meant her shameful act was almost over.
But Satiana still looked like she wanted me gone as soon as possible-her face showed she wanted to be seen as little as possible.
"Ugh...! If I'd known it'd be like this..."
In the end, every last drop was seen.
The once-provocative sound of water faded into a quiet silence.
"Looks like you're done, so let's talk for real now."
"What kind of talk can you have in a situation like this...!"
"If you leave without talking things out, it'll be a problem if you get caught, right?"
"Ugh...!! This is way more of a problem right now...!"
Satiana protested, her face bright red.
She looked so cute, it was hard to believe she was the Demon King.
"Don't worry. I won't tell anyone how sexy you looked when you were peeing."
"Ugh... That's obvious..."
Satiana fell silent, lost in thought.
She seemed to be thinking hard about how to get me to leave.
"Y-you have to take responsibility for all this...!"
"Huh...? Take responsibility?"
Satiana's response was quite unexpected.
I thought she'd just tell me to leave after hearing me out, but I never imagined she'd say I had to take responsibility.
"Did you get excited watching me pee? Did you discover a new kink or something...?"
"Don't say nonsense...! It's not that... How could I ever take another partner after showing myself like this...?"
"Aha! So you want me to take responsibility because you showed me your embarrassing side?"
"D-don't get the wrong idea...! I'm just holding you responsible. Outwardly, you'll be my partner, but you're just supposed to serve the Demon King's army!"
It didn't seem like a romantic demand.
It was more like she wanted to tie me down as a partner and make use of me.
She trembled with embarrassment, but was also thinking practically.
In a way, it was a very Demon King-like choice.
Even in a disadvantageous situation, she was trying to use me.
"Well... it's not a bad offer, but I'd rather keep it a secret from the others."
"What do you mean, keep it a secret?"
"I mean I don't want it known that I've joined the Demon King's army. Like I said, my life would be in danger."
A hero who failed to defeat the Demon King and returned.
Of course, the king would want to get rid of me.
Especially if it got out that I'd joined hands with the Demon King, I'd be under fierce attack.
Just my existence alone would be a threat to the king.
'If that happened, neighboring countries and the church might join forces to attack, so I need to build a stable base first.'
Staying with the Demon King's army wasn't an attractive option either.
It would make us stronger, but could lead to all-out war.
"The best choice right now is to just say I'm resting after failing."
"Have you already forgotten they said they'd kill you if you came back?"
"That's why I won't go back to the palace. I'll settle in a village near the Demon King's castle."
The closer to the palace, the stronger the king's influence.
In other words, the farther away, the safer.
"Would it make any difference if a mere hero settled somewhere?"
"Who was the one attacked in the bathroom by the hero?"
"T-that has nothing to do with it...!"
"Well... you're not wrong. So you'll have to come with me."
"Eh?!"
Satiana's eyes widened.
She looked at me with a blank face, as if to say, "What are you talking about?"
"If the Demon King and the hero are together, most people won't dare mess with us."
"Even so... I'm the Demon King! Leaving the Demon King's castle..."
"Just leave the Demon King's army in the hands of a trusted subordinate for a while. If you show them I surrendered, no one will say anything."
From the subordinates' perspective, it would be a welcome event.
The hero, their archenemy, surrendered. That alone would boost morale.
Anyone who knew the truth wouldn't dare betray us, even if they weren't loyal.
The Demon King and the hero joining forces to infiltrate the kingdom?
For the Demon King's army, that would be huge news; for the kingdom, it would be the worst crisis.
"Of course, there are people I could trust with this, but why do I have to go?"
"If a whole group moves at once, there's a higher chance of being discovered. Plus, you're the strongest."
"St-still..."
"It's actually for the good of the Demon King's army."
"Ugh... It really doesn't seem like a plan to make fun of me..."
Fortunately, Satiana seemed to trust me.
Since it really was for the Demon King's army, it would be hard for her to object.
"So... is the discussion over now?"
"First, we'll go to the village, observe the situation, and make plans."
"Then hurry up and get out!"
Satiana was still sitting and couldn't get up, even though she'd already finished peeing.
Suddenly, I wondered why.
"You've already seen everything, so what's the rush?"
"Ugh... I can't clean up unless you leave...!"
"Oh!"
It seemed she couldn't get up because I was still there.
But hearing that made me feel a bit mischievous.
"Since we're partners now, I'll clean you up. Stand up."
"Ugh...! Wh-what are you saying...!"
"You said you'd accept me as a partner, at least outwardly. I can do this much."
"Cancel that! That's... ugh... I just wanted to use you...!"
Satiana hurriedly made excuses.
But I had no intention of letting her off.
"It's a shame you want to cancel. But since you tried to use me, you'll have to let yourself be a little embarrassed."
"Ugh... That's... because you kept not listening!"
Satiana's face showed anxiety.
She was flustered, imagining what might happen next.
"Come to think of it, I ended up becoming a force for the Demon King's army. I deserve some reward."
"Nonsense..."
Honestly, I was curious.
Satiana seemed like a confident Demon King in front of her subordinates. I wondered how she'd react if I embarrassed her even more.
The Demon King's secret, unknown even to her subordinates.
I wanted to tease the hidden spot inside her white thigh.
'The method is simple.'
I'd already made a master-servant contract with Satiana.
Just by giving an order, I could make her do anything.
"Stand up."
The Demon King's face was beautifully colored with embarrassment and shame.
