I can't help it. My daughter doesn't know manners, so I have to make it up to her as a father. I smiled awkwardly." Uh, Chief, Jiaojiao was only able to speak on the fourth night. It's just that I didn't tell everyone because everyone was training these days.
The bright smile on the minister's face became even more beautiful.""That's nothing. However, we've learned quite a bit of good news today. Yicheng's strength is so strong that our chances of winning the competition are even higher. Jiaojiao being able to speak is also worth celebrating!”At this point, the minister paused for a moment as if he had made a decision. He clapped his hands lightly and said,"I've decided! Tomorrow afternoon, we'll cook a feast in the activity room to celebrate. Of course, as one of the main characters, Yicheng must cook personally to celebrate our victory!”
" Uh..." The smile on my face instantly stiffened." This... Minister, I've decided that I won't cook anymore from now on. You'd better find someone else!"”I decisively rejected the minister's suggestion.
The smile on the minister's face became even brighter."Yicheng, I think you're just joking, right? In order to celebrate tonight's victory, even Yicheng will make an exception and cook a table of good dishes for us again!”
I could clearly feel the pressure from the minister. I rolled my eyes and smiled happily." Ah! Of course, of course. It was just a celebration. It didn't matter. It was just a few dishes. It was very simple.”
As if she could read my mind, the minister's next sentence completely shattered my fantasies. She said,"But the dishes you make can't be worse than the ones you ate before. If you're perfunctory, I'll punish you. But if you do well, I'll reward you. Yicheng, you have to work hard!”
Seeing that the minister was even in the mood to joke with me, I couldn't help but smile calmly. No matter what, the minister was just a young girl. Even if she was a high-level demon, even if she was the next master of the Gimmonli family, she was still a girl at heart! Even though she didn't say anything about her worries for this battle, she became silent and serious because of her lack of strength. To a certain extent, my strength gave her confidence. I was happy about this, but I also felt a huge pressure. If the minister lost the competition in the end, I couldn't imagine the minister's expression at that time, so I had to win this competition.
It was 11 o'clock at midnight. I put on my school uniform. I thought that the only thing that could represent my identity now was my school uniform.
At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door. After I allowed her to enter, Alicia walked in wearing the nun's uniform that I had worn when I first met her.
I smiled and looked at Alicia." What's wrong? Is Alicia ready?"”
Alicia revealed a nervous smile and nodded gently.""Mr. Yicheng, while we're in the activity room, can you let me hold your hand?”
Looking at the hopeful eyes of Alicia, I couldn't help but smile."Of course, it's my greatest honor to be held by a beautiful woman.”
Acacia's face instantly turned red because of my words. She lowered her head shyly and gently held my hand. I could clearly feel her hand trembling.
I could understand how Althea was feeling right now, because I was also feeling nervous. This game was related to the Minister's lifelong happiness. In a sense, it wasn't an exaggeration to say that the Minister's happiness was in our hands.
I couldn't imagine what would happen if the minister lost the competition and had to marry Lesa. At least, I couldn't accept that outcome.
"Just thinking about the intense battle that is about to happen, my hands can't help but tremble.”Alicia said softly. "Am I…useless?”
I gently patted Alicia's hand." No, on the contrary, Alicia is very brave. Alicia, who is so unwilling to fight, was able to muster up her courage to participate in this battle. To be honest, I'm very impressed.”
Alicia tightened her grip on my hand and said shyly,""It's not as good as what Mr. Yicheng said. I just want to be able to stay by Mr. Yicheng's side all the time. Even if I'm nervous, I can relax because if I encounter danger, Mr. Yicheng will definitely protect me.”
When I heard Alicia's words, my eyes suddenly shook. Yes, Alicia trusted and relied on me so much. If I couldn't protect her, the Minister and everyone else, how could I still have the face to face her expectations of me?
I nodded heavily." Yes, Alicia. I will definitely protect you by your side. No!" I will protect you forever! This is my promise to you!"
"Yes!" Alicia softly agreed, but I could clearly feel that her hand was no longer trembling. She only held my arm tightly without relaxing at all.
At this moment, my face started to itch. Jiaojiao had already pouted her little mouth and started to act coquettishly towards me. There was nothing I could do about it. She hated the aura of demons. Every time I got close to everyone, I would always see her pouting her little mouth and angry look. However, that was all she did. She would not do anything overboard. This was what I especially liked.
At 11:40, we all gathered in the activity room. Besides us, President Cang Na and her queen were also there.
At this moment, the Minister and Senior Zhu Nai were leisurely drinking tea. They didn't look nervous at all. To be honest, I was quite impressed by their calmness, especially Senior Rheis. This was an important battle that concerned her happiness. It was really rare for her to be so calm.
Muchang's hands and legs were equipped with protective gear. His sword was leaning against the table. At this moment, he was resting with his eyes closed and looked calm.
Kitten was wearing a school uniform, but she had a pair of boxing gloves on her hands. She didn't eat as usual, but just sat quietly. There was no expression on San Wu's exquisite face. She was really an amazing existence who wouldn't change her expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her.
"Lias, it's useless to say anything now. However, I still wish you victory in advance. I'm sorry that I can't help you with your matters.”President Cang said as he sat on the sofa.
The minister elegantly took a sip of tea, and the smile on his face was natural and carefree."Cang, there's no need to be like this. As childhood friends, we both know that no one else can help with this kind of thing. So trust me, I definitely won't lose to you this time.”
Looking at the confident leader, President Cang nodded slowly.
At this moment, a magic array in the activity room lit up with white light, and Miss Gulifiya appeared. She looked at all of us and finally stopped at the minister."All of you should be ready. In ten minutes, you will be teleported to the alternate dimension and the game will officially begin.”
We all stood up and listened to Miss Gulifia's introduction.
"The venue of the competition is a competition venue created in an alternate dimension. As it is a one-time use venue, you can fight to your heart's content without worrying about the damage.”
I was quite surprised to hear Miss Gulifia's explanation. I didn't think that even demons would have a space like this. This world was indeed very mysterious. From the perspective of the previous world, this place seemed too unbelievable. However, ever since I reincarnated as a demon, I had developed a certain immunity to these things.
"The two families will also watch the battle through the broadcast channel. Demon King Lucifer will also be watching this competition."”
I couldn't help but feel a little surprised that there were actually spectators. However, after thinking about it, it wasn't strange. This was a major event that concerned two families. Wasn't it natural for people from both families to watch the battle? However, I couldn't help but feel surprised when Miss Gulifiya mentioned the Demon King. The Demon King actually watched such a competition. It seemed…a bit of a fuss.
However, the president's words revealed the reason, and at the same time, I was even more shocked.
"What is it? Her brother was actually watching the battle? Is that so... Big brother will also watch the battle!”Hearing the question from the minister's mouth, my mind was in a mess for a moment.
"Big brother? Isn't the Demon King's surname Lucifer? How…?" I can't help but whisper
Kimura explained," That's right. The Demon King is the elder brother of the Minister. As for the surname, it doesn't matter anymore. After the Minister's elder brother became the new Demon King, he automatically inherited the surname of Lucifer. In fact, the current 'Lucifer' is equivalent to a professional title, and it isn't that closely related to the surname.”
I couldn't help but understand. No wonder, the elder brother of the minister had inherited the position of the Demon King, so the minister had no choice but to inherit the position of the clan leader.
In the blink of an eye, the time was up. Under Miss Gulifia's urging, we entered the teleportation array together.
Before we teleported, Miss Gulifia said to us,""When the battle begins, the teleportation array will lose its effect. In other words, when you are teleported out again, the competition will be over.”
When Miss Gulifia finished her words, the teleportation array lit up at the same time. It was a dazzling white light. The pattern of the teleportation array was completely different from that of the Gimonli family. I had never seen it before. When the light returned to my eyes, I realized that I was back in the activity room. After carefully sensing it, I denied this deduction. No! This isn't the activity room, at least not the one we used to wear, because the energy here is completely different from the one in the activity room. It feels like a sea and a small pond. It was a very strange feeling. At this moment, the space I was in gave me a stuffy feeling, as if there was not enough air. I knew that this should be the battlefield.
