HeroxMaou Chapter 21

Chapter 21
Reciprocated Love (Misunderstanding): First Half

Her name is, Elna.

As a party member of the hero Oliver, she was a comrade that had fought with him through good and bad times.

….no wasn’t she the princess?

That girl looked straight at Oliver——and confessed the feelings she had been hiding all this time.

are those ven real?

“…………”

dead silence?

The party members around her swallowed, watching over them without saying anything. No, it would be better to say that they are watching to see what reply Oliver would give.

ofc it is

“Elna, I——”

a no……?

To respond, Oliver opened his mouth to speak immediately.

But before Oliver could continue, a small figure grabbed his arm.

“——you, can’t.”

what!

Who, was the most surprised by that?

me?

Unmistakably, the person whose arm was grabbed——Oliver.

After all, the one that caught his hand was the beloved person he would never stop loving.

CECILIA!!!???

“Cecilia——? Wh, y……”

“…………”

yes, why!?

The one who had grabbed Oliver’s arm, was Cecilia was supposed to be in her room.

On top of that, she had appeared in the middle of a confession, and clung onto the guy who was confessed to. After an instant, Oliver’s eyes opened wide and his gaze fixed onto Cecilia.

yep, defnitely misunderstood

Could it be, he heard wrong? Even Oliver thought that.

But this time, Cecilia looked steadily at Elna and spoke.

“……you can’t, stop.”

“Wh, why must I be told that by the demon lord!?”

“……the hero, is not suitable for you.”

“!!”

….

With Cecilia’s beautiful voice, everyone froze.

For Oliver, he was stuck in a state covering his face with his hand because he couldn’t stop grinning. The sounds of strange breathing that Cecilia could hear were probably not her imagination.

run!

The only one who showed a response, was the person that was said to, Elna. Losing herself to anger, she raised her voice at Cecilia.

Everybody thought the same thing.

Cecilia stopped the confession because she likes Oliver.

no!

But, at these times, reality is harsh.

good

——it is dangerous to marry this hero that is a pervert.

Cecilia does not directly know Elna, but they share the trait of both being women. Considering that, marrying this Oliver whose actions and words are strange……she couldn’t recommend it.

Thinking that Elna would definitely meet a worse fate than her, Cecilia panicked.

….

“What do you, the demon lord, understand?”

nothing

Cecilia had said that there are better men, than this pervert Oliver for a cute girl like Elna.

But Elna thought that she meant that Elna was not suitable for a wonderful person like Oliver.

just explain

“I have always, liked Oliver. I wanted to be together with him……”

“…………”

not a good idea

Elna seemed to be more obsessed with Oliver than Cecilia thought.

what did you expect

——could it be, this was unnecessary aid?

It is unmistakably unnecessary aid, but it was the best aid for Oliver.

Cecilia had hugged him tightly and declared that she won’t give him to her because he was hers.

※This is Oliver’s point of view so there may be a few points

different from reality※

definitely

“——and, there you have it.”

“Oliver?”

“My beloved person has said that, so I’m sorry, but I will refuse.”

“Kya!”

ett her go!

Lifting up Cecilia who was clinging onto his arm, Oliver sat her down on one of his arms. It is something he could do because Cecilia was petite.

Of course the person in question, Cecilia, was becoming pale, trying to figure out why there was suddenly this development.

speak more

“……please let me down.”

…impossible i guess

Even that cute voice of Cecilia’s was simply pleasant to Oliver right now.

He stared at her lovingly, as if he could only hear words that were convenient for him. The panicking Cecilia and Oliver who was in a very good mood.

Who could win against this Oliver who has on his very best smile right now.

Cecilia?

“Oliver……Are you really, okay with that demon lord? She’s, the ruler of the demonia you know?”

and she ruled peacefully

Elna heard Oliver’s response, but was unable to believe what she heard.

What was that journey they went through to defeat the demon lord. Who could have imagined this future.

rhine?

“……even if you choose that demon lord, I still love you.”

“Elna……sorry.”

“Don’t apologise. That’s just sad.”

…

Smiling bitterly, Elna looked at Oliver.

……the tears flowing from her eyes, shocked Cecilia.

well..

“Eh, er, I……”

figured out what’s going on yet?

Cecilia tried to say something, but didn’t know what to say and ended up shutting her mouth.

Elna glared at Cecilia and wiping her tears, said, “It will just be for a little while anyway.”

“……?”

“Oliver, is fickle. He will surely get sick of caring for you soon.”

“!”
