Is this really just an RPG? !

As usual, the peaceful Demon King's Palace.

With the help of a certain mysterious potion, the devil Spike finally grew his horns, and returned to the state of daily business affairs: he would talk to his subordinates every day to understand the domestic situation, and then think of a corresponding solution. Do it for your subordinates. Of course, this is just something that needs to be done every morning, Spike has many other things to do.

After handling his official duties, Spike will go to his library to spend a pleasant afternoon with Princess Lilith, such as reading books together, and tasting Lilith's exquisite craftsmanship by the way—as a witch who specializes in props, Lilith's housework standard is not too low, compared with her princess status, it can be said to be very good.

It's just that the ingredients are a little subtle every time.

"That, Lilith?"

"Huh? What's the problem, Lord Demon King?"

"This cup... um, what material is 'coffee' made from?"

Spike's body was a little stiff, he picked up the cup and looked straight at Lilith who was sitting opposite him holding a book in both hands, and after a moment of consideration, he asked in a relatively weak tone. Hearing Pax's tone, Max, who shrunk and crouched behind Lilith, raised his head and opened his mouth, as if he was going to say something, but because of the "Electric Power" placed next to Lilith Saw" two-handed sword and shut up.

It seems that there is something wrong with the driver core, so Lilith came to the library to browse books, trying to find a solution.

If Lilith knew the solution, after repairing the two-handed sword, Lilith would definitely find something to try. Recalling the sound made when Nicholas's birdman's horn was cut off, Max couldn't help but shudder, as if he didn't hear or see anything, closed his eyes and continued to pretend to sleep.

Aware of his general's actions, Spike could only remain silent.

"Eh? That's coffee beans."

Lilith didn't even raise her head, she answered as a matter of course.

"Coffee beans?"

It sounded like the fruit of some kind of plant, but Spike couldn't figure out what kind of plant it was.

Maybe it's a plant that doesn't exist in the demon territory?

After all, although such a harsh environment is very suitable for the survival of demons, it is not friendly to most plants. Even a small number of plants that survived have evolved into monsters to some extent. Not to mention whether it can be eaten or not, since it has evolved into a monster, it must have some special abilities, and even be aggressive. Just trying to subdue these plants is a very troublesome thing.

"Well, I come from a country in the south of the mainland. Because coffee is very refreshing, I'm used to bringing some with me... But even so, I'm almost done drinking it. I should find something to replace it."

Lilith's eyes finally left the book.

"alternatives?"

Spike suddenly remembered the "Slime Jelly" invented by Lilith not long ago.

He couldn't understand how the noble princess in front of him made a kind of dessert called "jelly" from the body fluid of slime that the demons disliked, ate it without any pressure, and made a "good taste" evaluation of.

Lilith closed the book in her hand and put it aside, then picked up the cup in front of her, and didn't care about drinking half of the cup before putting it down.

"Yeah, a substitute, but no target yet."

"Would you like to try incense? I still have several places in my office."

"That kind of thing is only suitable for demons...it's not for humans."

"makes sense."

Spike laughed a few times in embarrassment, and continued to drink the coffee in his hand.

The bitterness is paired with a touch of sweetness, which is quite fresh.

Thinking of this, Spike turned his head and glanced at the timer hanging on the wall.

The afternoon is not spent drinking tea with Lilith, Spike is the devil after all, he always has a lot of things to do. However, because of Lilith's arrival, part of his work has been reduced - about dealing with some stubborn subordinates.

"Then I'll..."

Spike got up to say hello to Lilith and leave, but stopped because of a sudden sound from outside.

"Da da da da" is very urgent, it sounds like it should be the sound made by Peter running, because he is the only one in the whole palace with such footsteps.

——By the way, Peter is a small mediocre devil, because his body is flexible and he can run fast, he is responsible for running errands in the devil's palace to notify the news

What's the important news?

Spike waved his hand, and the mimetic palm formed by magic opened the door of the library.

"Boom!"

Just like that, Peter slammed into the door in a daze, like a picture hanging in a strange style pasted on the door.

"Pfft."

Hearing the laughter behind him, Spike could guess Lilith's expression without turning his head.

Peter has always been sloppy, and he wouldn't say he hit the door directly in the past, probably because Spike opened the door. Peter, who was stuck on the door, quickly regained consciousness, jumped down from the door, and hurriedly crawled to Spike and lay down on the ground.

Too flustered, he inadvertently tripped over his left foot and tripped over his right foot, and just like that, he completed a gorgeous flat throw in front of Spike and Lilith.

Lilith opened her mouth slightly with a smile, but said nothing.

Of course Spike couldn't detect Lilith's movements.

"what's the matter?"

Spike folded his hands behind his back.

Even if he is a very casual devil king, he still has the necessary majesty when facing his subordinates.

"Master Demon King! There is a strange burning man rushing into the palace! There is no way to stop it!"

"fire man?"

Spike's eyebrows furrowed.

Speaking of Pyro, the first reaction is the "lava" race that was born from a nearby volcano and lived there. However, that race is not exactly a living person, and it should be called a stone man, with a red light shining on its body. , Occasionally burst out a group of flames.

Other than that he couldn't think of another Burning Man.

"What exactly is going on?"

Spike thinks Peter still has information to share.

"Master, Lord Demon King, that fire man is not very big, but his whole body is burning with high-temperature flames, and the speed is so fast that it can't be stopped at all. Even if a demon calls to stop that fire man, he will only get an answer similar to 'Wulawula'. "

Peter propped himself up and answered while panting.

After listening to Peter's description, Spike frowned even tighter.

The volume of lava is very large, and it will not make the sound of "Wulawula", because they are originally gathered from enchanted lava rocks, and there is no sounding part. To communicate with the surrounding creatures, only through magic.

But that way cannot be called "sound" at all.

"You mean the whole body is on fire? How big is it?"

"My lord, princess! It's about half your size."

"That's it, Lord Demon King, I may know what Peter said about the Burning Man."

"Please, Miss Lilith, what did Peter say?"

"Ah! Before giving the answer, can I ask Lord Demon King to agree to Lilith's request?"

"any request?"

Spike couldn't help but mourn for the poor Pyro for a moment.

Lilith's eyes were exactly the same as when she first saw the corner of her head.

Up to now, Spike has not forgotten the shadow dominated by Lilith's chainsaw.

"That burning man, can you give it to Lilith?"

"Yes, yes, but Lilith, what are you going to do?"

"A substitute for coffee! And it should be a good follower."

I don't know why, when talking about coffee substitutes, the first thing he thought of was food and drink, and he couldn't help thinking about it in some strange direction, and then suddenly felt a chill, immediately interrupted his guessing, and reluctantly took it with him. With a formulaic smile, he made a gesture of invitation to Lilith.

"Then please, it will cause panic if it takes too long."

"Well, Mr. Max, please help put these books back."

Lilith nodded, turned to face the three-headed dog, and patted the stacked books on the table. The three-headed dog, who had always been pretending to be asleep, raised his head, exhaled to express his understanding, and then immediately lay down and continued to sleep.

"Eh? Mr. Max has been sleeping recently, and he plans to play with him."

Lilith's voice full of regret made Max couldn't help shivering.

"Indeed, if Lilith wishes, I can talk to the general."

The strange tone, full of sloppiness, came from the mouth of the devil.

When Lilith turned his back to him, Max raised three heads and grinned at Spike at the same time. If it weren't for a certain scary lady who was still here, he would definitely rush to fight Spike.

【"Master Demon King, what are you doing?!"】

Seeing the message in Max's eyes, the corners of Spike's mouth widen.

【"Of course it's dealing with your relationship with Lilith."】

【"Don't make trouble! It's hard for me to take a break."】

【"Have fun with the princess, how about this rest proposal?"】

【"roll!"】

【"Then let's say it like this."】

【"Spike! Where did the love of the same race go?! Why do demons and demons hurt each other!"】

【"Don't talk nonsense! Two demons meet Lilith at the same time, as long as one of them flashes faster than the other, then it is absolutely safe, because Lilith is very 'focused'.\
