Chapter 23: I will be the Demon King

Hikaru smiled when he heard that, it seemed that Velys was indeed the same as in the story. No matter what kind of person he became, she still believed in him.

“So… if I say in the future, the apocalypse will come, would you believe it?”

When Velys heard that, she felt extremely surprised. She hurriedly asked, “When will the end of the world come?”

Hikaru: “…”

You should at least act surprised and say “really?” or “Are you kidding?”

If you immediately trust me like that it would make me feel like loving you.

However, if Velys immediately agrees, he wouldn’t need to spend a lot of time explaining.

“About seven days later. It may be sooner, but I can assure you that the apocalypse will surely come.”

Hearing Hikaru’s words, Velys immediately asked, “So… what do you want me to do?”

“Aren’t you worried about your family?” Hikaru asked. In the novel, the author also did not talk about Velys’ family.

After all, Velys was also a villain, so the author did not care much about her family.

Hikaru only knew that after the apocalypse struck, Velys immediately searched for Hikaru.

After learning that Hikaru was defenseless in the apocalypse, Velys tried to take care of him and find food for him.

But Hikaru was a villain, so he couldn’t live long. Although Hikaru died, Velys did not give up on him, and she carried his body and buried it in the mountains.

Later Velys also became a villain, and she tried to find a way to kill Tadashi to avenge Hikaru.

When Velys heard Hikaru ask about her family, she just smiled wryly and said, “You don’t need to care about them. Hikaru, in my eyes there’s only you.”

Hikaru took a deep breath, with sweet words like this, who could resist?

None!

No man could resist such sweet words and absolute trust from such a beautiful girl.

But Hikaru in the novel was almost immune to Velys.

He felt that Hikaru in the novel was like an idiot.

Hikaru then nodded and said, “You… Do you love me?”

Velys was startled, she lowered her head, her face was as red as a ripe apple, even Hikaru could see that her ears were red.

Velys clasped her hands together, she felt extremely embarrassed. But then she still tried to nod and say, “Sorry.”

“Hm? Why are you apologizing to me?”

Velys’ voice was a little hesitant as if she wanted to cry: “Sorry for loving you. I know you only have Rina in your heart, but I won’t trouble you or ask you to return my feelings.”

“I just need you to allow me to love you, that’s all. I will assist you in wooing Rina, but I cannot guarantee that you will succeed.”

Hikaru felt extremely amused when he heard this, but at the same time he also felt that Velys was pitiful. Her final ending in the novel was death.

Hikaru sighed and said, “Velys, don’t think too much. I don’t like Rina.”

“I know… Heh?!” Velys was startled, she looked up at him with eyes filled with suspicion.

“Don’t look at me with those eyes. I don’t like Rina, but that doesn’t mean I like you either.” Hikaru shook his head.

Even though he wanted to lie that he loved Velys, and even if he traveled the world he would not be able to find a girl as good as her.

Velys was both beautiful and rich, and she loved him to the point of loyalty. Her love for him was unconditional.

However, this was the first time he had met Velys, and he didn’t want to let lust take over his mind.

For now, he just wanted to quickly prepare his resources, complete the quest and then go to the Fantasy world, that was enough.

After all, this world was just a world of fiction, made up by other authors.

Although it was real, and everyone was living like the people on Earth, in his head Hikaru didn’t believe in this truth.

When Velys heard that she was so happy that she cried. Hikaru, who was surprised, then said, “You… why are you crying?”

Velys shook her head and smiled, “No. Even if you don’t like me, that’s okay. It’s just… I feel so happy because I think I still have a chance, don’t I?”

Hikaru let out a sigh. But when he saw that happy smile, he didn’t dare to look directly at her.

“That’s right. If you want, you can try, however, we have more important things to do.”

Velys nodded, she of course knew that Hikaru was talking about the ‘Apocalypse’.

But in her heart, she still felt extremely excited. My chance has come, I will definitely make Hikaru fall in love with me.

Come on, Velys. You can do it.

“Velys!”

“Heh?!” Hearing Hikaru’s call, she jolted awake from her thoughts: “Sorry… I was thinking about something.”

Hikaru nodded as he wanted to say something, when another voice sounded extremely harsh.

“Bastard!”

Yes, that sound came from Delmor. Hikaru turned his head and saw him walking towards him with eyes filled with anger.

Delmor’s voice made everyone in the coffee shop pay attention to them.

Hikaru glanced around, feeling extremely annoyed. He really wanted to pull out his gun and put a bullet in this annoying bastard’s head.

However, Rika once said that if the main character’s luck was too high, he couldn’t kill them.

If he tried to kill them, he wouldn’t be able to kill them, on the contrary, the one whose life would be threatened is Hikaru’s

Delmor came in front of Hikaru, he looked like he was about to spit out fire. His face turned red with anger, and he shouted as if he wanted to let everyone in the cafe know what he meant.

“Hikaru! What the hell are you doing? Why is Velys crying?! What did you do to her?”

Hikaru sighed and said, “Do you mind? You probably don’t mind, but I do find it extremely annoying.”

“We are just talking normally. How about you? Why are you following me and Velys?”

“Huh!” Delmor snorted disdainfully, he looked as if he wanted to kill someone as he stared at Hikaru: “Normal talk? So why is Velys crying? Don’t think that since your father is Hodai, you can do whatever you want.”

“Delmor!” Velys shouted.

However, Delmor’s words interrupted hers: “Velys, don’t worry. I will protect you, with me here, he will definitely not threaten you.”

The crowd in the cafe also started talking.

“So he’s Hikaru.”

“Ah! He’s Relying on his wealthy family to disregard the law.”

“Of course. Is he not a good guy? Poor girl, such a beauty, caught his eye.”

“That’s right. That young man is really brave, he is not afraid of Hikaru, and he is standing up to protect that girl.”

“That young man is so handsome. I heard that girl call him Delmor.”

“Ah! I feel that Delmor and that girl are a perfect match.”

“Huh! I also don’t like seeing that bastard Hikaru bully others.”

…

Hearing the crowd around him constantly disparaging Hikaru, Delmor felt that what he did was absolutely correct.

In contrast, Velys was now so angry that she wanted to cut Delmor into a hundred pieces.

The extremely romantic atmosphere between the two was destroyed by that bastard Delmor, making her extremely angry and disgruntled..

“Delmor, don’t meddle in other people’s business.” Velys said angrily.

“Ah! Velys, don’t worry. I know you’re worried that I’ll be implicated. But no matter what, I have to protect you.” Delmor said as he calmed Velys with a smile like that of a warm sunshine.

“That’s right.” A customer in the cafe suddenly said, “Girl, you don’t have to be afraid. With us here, that bastard Hikaru won’t be able to do anything.”

“That’s right. Delmor, do your best.”

“Delmor, you are the most handsome man.”

“Wow! A Hero who saves people.”

Velys gritted her teeth, she was confused. Why is everyone constantly supporting and praising Delmor?

However, Hikaru now showed a calm demeanor. He just frowned at Delmor and said: “Who is the Hero who wants to save a beauty? You think you’re a hero?”

“Huh! Of course I am a hero. Hikaru, what if I’m not a hero? One thing’s for sure, you’re the monster here!” Delmor said, his voice filled with contempt.

At this moment, Delmor reached out and put his hand on Hikaru’s shoulder, he used his strength to try to force Hikaru to sit on the chair.

“Do not try to use power and money to threaten Velys. She will never do what you say.”

“Oh! Are you going to hit me?” Hikaru tilted his head and asked, however, his words were calm.

“That’s right! If you…”

Before Delmor could finish his sentence, Hikaru reached out and grabbed a glass vase on the table and hit Delmor on the head.

Hikaru’s movements were extremely quick and decisive. Delmor also did not think that in this case Hikaru would dare to hit him.

“Chang!”

“AAAA!!!”

The sound of glass clashing resounded, the flower vase broke into small pieces and fell to the ground.

Delmor cried out in pain.

He felt his surroundings wobble as if he were sitting on a boat and experiencing terrible waves.

Because of the pain, Delmor sat on the ground, and held his head with both hands, where the vase had just collided.

Blood from the wound seeped through his hair and hands and fell to the ground. Delmor trembled with pain and anger.

At this moment, Hikaru stood up, his face still calm, and his cold voice resounded: “If you want to be a hero, then I will be the Demon King.”
