Chapter 73 Return
update icon Updated at 2026/5/16 17:00:03

Celebrations in the late night seemed particularly lively, with the boisterous voices of the demons echoing clearly even inside the castle. We couldn't block out the noise in the castle either; the Demon Lord had to use amplification magic to finish her speech at the banquet. Of course, sitting relatively far away, we didn't hear a word she said, but we knew that the grilled steak in front of us was delicious. As for what kind of beef it was, I had no idea, but it was tasty anyway.

Next came the time for these bunch of scoundrels to start fooling around. I had just been wondering why these guys didn't go manage their subordinates, but after seeing their behavior, I understood. These guys are just like those outside, with minotaurs and orcs running wild. The dream demons over there, what are they up to, jumping around while drinking? And they are even jumping on the table.

I quickly collected some excellent dishes to save them from being wasted. I turned to look at Aliyah beside me, who was still sitting one seat away from me with Oyado in between. What is this guy even thinking? Why is she avoiding me on purpose, even though she keeps glancing over here from time to time? Oh well, I guess girls like to play hard to get.

Just as I was musing over this, I noticed a new title added to Aliyah's name. [Tsundere]. Dear World, did you really have to be so considerate and tell me this? Aliyah immediately panicked, glared at me, and quickly dragged the title to the back. Since titles can only display the first five characters, the rest gets cut off. Of course, you can click on the person's name in the terminal to view the full title, so now that we know, there's no need to dwell on it. Otherwise, Aliyah would definitely want to continue smacking me.

We were all entangled in our own little dramas, while the others were enjoying their meal. Bai Yueguang and the others were throwing food at each other, and although Oyado was eating quietly, a mountain of plates had already accumulated in front of her. "Brother, try this!" Suddenly, Oyado stuffed a cake straight into my mouth. "It's so delicious!" "...Even if it's delicious, you shouldn't stuff the whole piece in." I quickly chewed a few times and then drank the beverage next to me. "It's delicious, right?" she asked. "Yes, yes." I'll just focus on eating mine then.

And so, amid all the chaos, the celebration came to an end. Most of the demons were completely intoxicated, and even Bai Yueguang and his group had passed out. Unfortunately, it seemed we would have to spend the night here. But it was already nearing morning in the demon realm; normal people wouldn't be able to fall asleep now. Yet, I managed to drift off to sleep somehow. Don't ask me how; when I woke up, my neck was still sore.

"I say..." The first thing I did upon waking up was ask Aliyah, "Why did you knock me out?" "To prevent you from doing anything indecent while drunk," she replied confidently. "But I didn't even drink, how could I act indecently while drunk?"

"It's because you didn't drink that I'm worried."

"......"

Alright, I can't understand what she's thinking anymore, or should I just ignore it.

But when we woke up, it was already noon. Looking out the window, the monsters had already cleaned up everything from last night, and the city had returned to a peaceful state.

Well, although I don't know what their peaceful state looks like, at least they are not in battle.

"The others..."

Looking around, Bai Yueguang and the others were slowly waking up too.

The other demon clans had already left, it seems the physical constitution of these demons is quite good.

"It seems like you've rested enough too."

The Demon King suddenly walked in through the door.

"It seems like you're almost done resting."

"More or less."

As I said this, I glanced at Aliyah beside me, and it seemed she noticed my gaze and averted her eyes.

"Now, you decide what to do next for yourselves, whether you want to wander in the demon realm or return to the human world. It's up to you."

Saying that, she also glanced at Felia beside her.

"I think we should head back early."

I shrugged and said.

"After all, we should try to get back early, otherwise someone over there will worry."

I looked towards Begis, saying.

"Felia's sister is waiting for her to come back."

"It seems like this body has quite a few identities."

Felia nodded, smiling.

"About the method of going back."

The Demon King looked at Felia.

Originally, I thought it might be a bit troublesome for you as an Undead Holy Angel, but if I remember correctly, the one in front of us should be an elder of the Dark Elf race, right?"

"Ah, you could tell that, it seems you're not bad for a Demon King."

Begis nodded.

"Dark Elves, especially the early generations, are very skilled in spatial magic."

"Why didn't you mention this earlier."

I looked at Begis.

"From now on, we'll rely on you for long-distance travels."

"Alright, let's go~"

"Wait..."

Before I could say anything, the next second we had already returned to the human world.

Don't ask me how I know, the sun in the sky looks like the one in the human world no matter how you look at it.

"But..."

I looked at everyone next to me who looked embarrassed, and I smiled bitterly.

"Where are we?"
