HeroxMaou Chapter 18

Oliver has been afflicted with an extremely serious condition recently.

perv

Who would have predicted that such a thing would happen. No, n.o.body would have.

In the living room. Oliver was a.s.saulted by a shock like never before, not knowing what to do, it felt like he was going to start hyperventilating.

….

“I can’t believe, Cecilia and Sora became such good friends……!!”

yep jealusy

Even though he is the one who is always with her, Oliver bit his lips. The sight of him glaring at Sora who was sitting next to Cecilia, was simply that of a disappointing ikemen.

no its just a perv

“I want to hug Cecilia, I want to smell Cecilia……”

see

Walking shakily, he forced himself in between Cecilia and Sora on the sofa. Even if they resisted, the only one who can sit next to Cecilia is him.

only one who must not be there

“Wai, Oliver-san, please stop. An adult’s jealousy is shameful~”

“Please don’t bully Sora……”

“Eh, what’s with you two! Love me, Cecily!!”

“It’s Cecilia.”

nein

Even though he is dedicating himself to her so much, why does Cecilia care about Sora and not Oliver. There must be a reason, sitting in between Cecilia and Sora, Oliver stroked his chin, falling into thought.

because you are a perv?

“If there was something inconvenient for the cute Cecilia——Hah! I see, I got it.”

“?”

“The soldiers being sent over everyday to subjugate Cecilia, the demon lord is so annoying you can’t stand them right? Sorry, I didn’t realise. I’ll go and destroy this country so it becomes quiet……”

“Wrong.”

woah there

As he was about to tell her to wait a little, instant words of denial came from Cecilia.

actually might be a good idea

——Why does this hero say such crazy things.

Not understanding him at all, Cecilia sighed.

uncomprehensible

It’s not like she intended to ignore Oliver and get along with Sora only, if there was to be a reason, it would be more like Oliver is a pervert so it is hard to approach him.

Yes, basically it is all Oliver’s fault.

as it always is

——Actually, it is your fault for not having killed me already.

If he did, then the new hero, Sora, would not have come and Oliver would have been living a peaceful life. Things were getting complicated all because she was there, that was what Cecilia felt.

Of course, Cecilia was also making things complicated in a different sense.

yeah

“I also want Cecilia to rely on me.”

“……it’s, not like I’m relying on Sora either.”

“…………haah. You don’t get it, Cecilia.”

“?”

yeah she doesn’t

Seeing Oliver let out a large sigh, Cecilia tilted her head——but more importantly, she stood up from the sofa, saying “it’s cramped.”

Cecilia, Oliver and Sora on a two-seater. It’s not that she cannot sit there, but she didn’t like the feeling of being squeezed. Or more like, Oliver’s I-love-Cecilia aura was hard to handle.

…

“Haha, Oliver-san’s being hated by demon lord-chan(lol)”

“What. Do you want to die?”

“Wai, you’re seriously too narrow-minded……”

yep

When Sora laughed as if teasing him, Oliver’s hand extended towards the sword at his waist and heavy, cold air flowed out from him. That was surely killing intent, and Sora wanted to scream that that is something a hero should not be putting out.

retired

“Oliver-san really was the true demon lord.”

….yeah

There was no way there would be a cute demon lord like Cecilia. Cecilia is definitely Oliver’s dummy and was definitely granted a beautiful position like saint.

Hearing Sora’s words, Cecilia tilted her head.

just change jobs

“The demon lord, is me……?”

“……ah, yes, that’s right.”

“Cecilia’s blank look is cute……I love it.”

“…………”

nothingt o say

The hero is over there, pointing at Oliver, Cecilia had already given up on thinking.

intermission

intermission

Even when night fell and it became time to sleep——Oliver’s mode was still bad.

He was still sulking about the fact that Cecilia only cared about Sora during the day. To Cecilia, she was just acting normally, so having this att.i.tude taken towards her was troubling.

badda

And yet, Oliver is currently in Cecilia’s room.

get out!

He simply sat next to the sofa Cecilia was sitting on, and did not speak. Even though they were together, neither spoke.

Such an uncomfortable atmosphere was created.

just get out!

——at these times, what should I do?

In the first place, Cecilia’s life was mostly spent relaxing carefreely in her room on her own. She honestly does not know how to interact with Oliver who had suddenly barged into her life.

What should she talk about when she is with someone.

Normally, Oliver would talk to her so much it gets annoying, so Cecilia had not noticed this problem.

just ignore him

“………”

first to speak loses

Until now, Oliver had acted to avoid such a silence——Cecilia realised that. At the same time, she also understood that she couldn’t do the same well.

not expected from a hikkikomori

——now and in the past, I’ve always been relying on others.

….

“…………hero.”

“——! Cecilia?”

…

Mustering her courage, Cecilia broke the silence.

She could understand if he had been surprised from the tension like her, but Oliver was more surprised than that as he called her name. He had probably not thought that Cecilia would talk to him.

never happened before

“No, er……it’s nothing.”

you kinda forced her

She had succeeded in calling out to him for now, but she didn’t know what to talk about afterwards and fell silent. To avert her gaze, she turned her face away from Oliver.

That action was also cute, and Oliver felt like his heart was melting from ice and spring had come.

winter never ends

“CECILIA!”

“Kyaa!”

shoo!

As if saying he can still do this even if she turned her face away, Oliver slowly laid down and rested his head on Cecilia’s lap.

He was almost shaken by the cute scream that she let out softly, but he was even more shaken by the softness of Cecilia’s thighs and Oliver desperately covered his own mouth to prevent himself from shouting.

so jealo—no i mean, GET OFF!

“Aaah, happiness.”

“……happiness?”

“Yep. It’s happiness being with Cecilia, and even more so when you look at me, and if you would smile for me I can die without any regrets.”

“…………”

great

Ah, it’s the usual Oliver.

die

Thinking that, she once again racked her mind to figure out what to  do in this situation. The strained atmosphere from before is gone, but she also doesn’t know what to do about this either.

push him off

“Cecily.”

“……it’s, Cecilia.”

what now

Oliver’s dark red hair on her thighs were ticklish and Cecilia stirred just a little.

stir more

“Hm. Let me, stay like this a little longer.”

“…………”

no

Oliver conveniently interpreted Cecilia’s lack of response as acceptance. In fact, since she didn’t reject him, there is a possibility it is consent.

If that was the case, he is so happy he might ascend to heaven.

As he looked up at Cecilia’s face from Cecilia’s lap pillow, he noticed that not just her cheeks, even her ears were red. As he felt like she was starting to be more aware of him, the desire for her to be even more aware of him welled up.

you and your desires

“Cecilia”

what is it this time

When he twirled her neat triply braid around his finger and tugged lightly, Cecilia let out a small voice and looked towards Oliver.

…

——Ah, she finally looked at me.

you forced her

“Hero?”

…

What is it.

Cecilia’s eyes that were like the dawn asked that. When he unintentionally said that the blue in her grey eyes were the same colour as his own eyes——Cecilia caught her breath.

“Do you hate, being with me?”

“……I don’t, mind either way.”

…….really?

When he asked, words of denial did not come from Cecilia. He smiled wryly at the part of him that was relieved by that.

….

Oliver was always full of confidence and had no interests towards women, and would continue to be like that——he had thought like that.

not now obv

“Cecilia, is strange.”

——to make me so obsessed with you.

Feeling like he would never be able to match this demon lord-sama, Oliver laughed.

There is an author’s note here thanking readers for reviews and congratulations about the novelisation. I’m just going to translate this part:

“About the ill.u.s.tration on the cover, the ones in the back are Sora and Goblin!

Goblin’s cute right. (lol)

The true mascot character might be him……if he became a soft toy he would be a cute puppy right?”

^I actually never noticed Goblin…..I saw sora, and focused on the two at the front……………..how did I not notice Goblin
