Volume 10, 71: The Price of Fame
By the time we had returned to the Demon King’s side, the nearby army had already begun it’s retreat.
But it seems that the Demon King’s army has no intent to pursue them.

Once again, Greed appeared in front of us in her weird way and started talking before we even had a chance to greet her.
“It seems that things went smoothly for you. The enemy legion completely withdrew after their leader was defeated.”
“So basically, we have nothing to do and should head back.”
I pointed upwards.
“Don’t tell me we still need to head through a place full of monsters. We have injured after all.”
While I was talking, I looked at Oyado who was resting on my back.
She still hadn’t woken up after all of this time. It seems she needs to recover from all of her fatigue. It must be hard for her. After all, considering the characteristics of her class, she sleeps lightly. It would be hard for her to get a good sleep right now.
“Of course not. Although using the portal is limited for demons, but you humans are relatively unrestricted so don’t worry about it.”
“......”
I don’t know why but I was surprised to hear that.
“That’s......my body is currently an Undead Holy Angel’s, is there really no problem?”
“......”
The atmosphere became awkward. Scratching her head, Greed thought for a moment.
“There probably won’t be any problem?”
“Hey, saying ‘probably’ isn’t an actual answer. And what was with that question, I was the one asking you.”
“There’s always a way.”
“Then just say that you don’t know.”
“Oh, I don’t know.”
I knew it. Why doesn’t the Demon King have a few normal people working for her......that’s not right. It should be someone who is even slightly normal.
“Hey you guys.”
Bai Yueguang spoke up in from the side.
“Can you go somewhere else and chat, or do you plan on just stand here and keep chatting?”
“Well......I’m thinking about it for you.”
Greed talked as if she thought we were ungrateful for her help.
“Now that you are famous in the Demon World for dealing with the rebel leader on your own. It only took you three days in the Abyss to calm the rebellion. A teenage girl that can use all sorts of magic......now you have the mysterious power of the Undead Holy Angels. Right, you’re called Fir now? I’d advise you to hide your wings and put on a mask or I think that everywhere you go there will be someone wanting to challenge you. After all, you are an Undead Holy Angel with the power of legends. One of your race hasn’t been born in a long time so everyone will naturally be curious.”
“Fighting because of curiosity? You have a straightforward way of making friends.”
“I like it.”
Bai Yueguang nodded.
You just want to get some easy exp. Seems like you’re aware of it too.
“Ok, it isn’t a problem.”
I had already withdrawn my wings when I collected Oyado. Changing my clothes with a single tap, I went into an assassin’s outfit.
“Although it doesn’t have any bonuses to magic, it does add agility.”
“Come on, the Demon King is waiting for you.”
“Then why did you bring up so much nonsense.”

Sure enough, when we came to the city, we could see that it was filled with a jubilant atmosphere. Since the enemy withdrew, the city had been liberated and it’s residents were returning from other cities.
“Yo, you were here.”
The Demon King, who was standing on top of a building, called out to us and jumped over.
“I didn’t believe you guys would actually do it. I thought that you would fight their soldiers first to raise your levels before challenging the main prize.”
“Well, I happened to spot him so I went and challenged him. But......I overestimated our abilities and almost made a mistake that I would have regretted for the rest of my life.”
While I said this, I looked back to Oyado.
“Hehehe, you’re going to make Aliyah jealous again.”
The Demon King laughed.
“Right, where did Aliyah go? I remember that she said she was going to report to you and ran off.”
“Yes, well, that’s your problem. I can’t help you with that. In other words, you need to solve that yourself. When it comes down to it, don’t become the enemy of women.”
“Hey now, you’re really overestimating my abilities.”
I laughed bitterly.
“Okay, okay. I didn’t expect things to get resolved so quickly. Although it’s pretty late, I think the demons are going to be pretty excited tonight so I’ll make up for that dinner.”
“I’d say that too.”
I nodded.
“Everyone here is starving to death.”
Did Fake Fir not have any good meals? Why does it feel as if my body is starving?
You shouldn’t spend the entire time cold and hungry......
“Then I’ll see you tonight.”
With that, the Demon King opened up her wings and flew off.
Weren’t you a human......why do you have demonic wings?
“What should we do next?”
I looked at everyone else.
“I think we should find somewhere quiet.”
Tai Shixi said, pointing at the surroundings.
It was then that I noticed that the demons that had been rushing about had surrounded us at some point.
“It seems that it isn’t good to be famous.”
