Home/ The Demon King Took Off His Little Horns/ Chapter 39

It’s not over, is it! It’s not over, is it! It’s not over, is it!

In the corner outside the convenience store, Ansel brutally beat up a messenger-level monster. The monster was beaten until its scales flew away, and its scales, which required heavy firepower to break, were vulnerable to the single blow of a Demon King. Ansel was still not satisfied after beating it up, so he stepped on the monster’s head on the ground, and then tilted his head slightly.

“…You are here, what’s wrong?”

The black mist expanded and dissipated, and His Majesty the Demon King slowly appeared with an indescribable expression on his face.

 “……There’s something going on.”

Ansel nodded and suddenly looked at Saros with a sceptical gaze, and then at the monster whose head had been trampled on the ground.

What does that have to do with me?

Saros remained silent for a few seconds before speaking, actively trying to defend himself.

“No, I came a little later. As soon as I came over, I saw this monster wandering outside the door.”

Ansel nodded doubtfully. It seemed that this monster was causing trouble, but he wrongly accused Saros, because it was usually Saros who caused trouble. 

With this thought in mind, he pressed his feet hard and stomped on the monster’s head on the ground.

Saros: “…”

So unruly! Where on earth does Ansel look like an angel!

In fact, this matter really has something to do with him, because we haven’t seen each other for several days, and with the excuse of Ansel switching to a new job, of course His Majesty the Demon King has to rush back to congratulate him, and he even prepared a small gift. 

However, when he arrived at the door of the convenience store, through the glass display window, he immediately saw Ansel inside, wearing a new uniform and a winged hat, and his whole person was shining like the products in the display window.

He would also say “Welcome” in a cute and cheerful tone!

Whoa ! Come a few more times!

In order to achieve his goal, His Majesty the Demon King found a monster wandering nearby and drove the unlucky monster to the door of the convenience store like a sheep. 

Not knowing what’s in the convenience store, the monster was a bit timid and didn’t dare to go in easily. But His Majesty the Demon King was anxious in his heart. If it’s a little later, Ansel will discover him!

So he scared the monster a little.

The monsters in the human world indeed have higher intelligence, so it was easily frightened, but with the Demon King behind it, it could only try to go to the convenience store. But the convenience store also has things that scare the monster, so it has to return quickly.

The electric door opened and closed…

The angel said ‘welcome’ again and again…

His Majesty the Demon King was satisfied.

The monster was killed.

A beautiful ending.

Monster: “? ? ?”

Does it have anything to do with the word beautiful ? !

“I’m here to tell you a few things.” Saros changed the topic without any trace, so as not to let Ansel discover anything, “You have already seen several monsters in the human world, and you must have already noticed the differences.”

He lifted his dark blue pupils.

“Is it convenient to talk now?”

Ansel thought for a while.

“A few minutes will do.”

“That’s enough.”

Ansel did not resist the magic that enveloped him, and even gave this magic a score in his heart. The name of the Demon King Saros’ ‘Space Transfer Forbidden Curse’ was indeed well-deserved. The light and shadow in front of them changed, and they appeared in a field lined with iron cages.

There was no one else in the venue, only a dozen or so monsters in cages.

“This is the headquarters of the Secret Council.” Saros said lightly, “I have established a spatial anchor here, so it is more convenient to bring you here.”

Ansel: “…”

Good guy, it’s like returning to your own home.

“Have you finished the things you wanted to do, has the Secret Council completely fallen into your hands?” Ansel asked as he slowly walked between the cages to observe the monsters. Saros stood beside him and smiled upon hearing this.

“Almost.”

He then added.

“However, if you have any conflicts with the Secret Council in the future, don’t worry about me, you can just deal with it directly.”

This surprised Ansel a bit. He felt that Saros meant something by these words, but when he asked further, Saros refused to elaborate. The way he looked at Ansel was like looking at a white bird, believing that it would always fly towards the light.

“If you look at the entire human world, the Secret Council is one of the most evil organisations. And I believe that you should be able to embark on a heroic path of light.”

He said this, as if stating a prophecy or a riddle. Before Ansel could continue to ask, he had already shifted the topic to the monsters in the field.

“I used the excuse of power struggles in the demon world to order the Secret Council to collect such monsters on a large scale. As the number of collected monsters increased, the characteristics of the monsters in the human world gradually became apparent.”

The Demon King stretched out his hand towards the iron cage. Because he had restrained all his aura, the messenger-level monster in the cage could not help but salivate upon seeing the flesh and blood, revealing its longing. But then, a flame ignited at the fingertips of the Demon King, and the monster immediately screamed, retreating in fear.

Ansel frowned slowly. Compared to the clumsy, ignorant, painless and fearless monsters in the demon world, the monsters in the human world seemed to have too much intelligence.

“But don’t worry too much, this should be a different direction of evolution.”

Saros lifted his hand to remove the iron cage. As the monster was in a daze, his fingertips flickered with the lightning arcs, and the magic thunder of Three Light Wheels bloomed, instantly burning the monster into ashes.

“Three Light Wheel magic can kill the messenger level…” Ansel raised his eyebrows, “They have become weaker.”

Ansel understood that the monsters in the demon world were blocked in the Seventh Abyss by the three Demon Kings, and could hardly communicate with the outside world. If there was some communication, they were bombed immediately, and their situation was very difficult.  

In order to cope with the harsh environment, the monsters in the demon world made their bodies stronger and would rather sacrifice their rationality. Only the emperor, empress and the prince at the top of the pyramid possess high intelligence and act in a group as a whole.

However, the human world is different. The monsters here are relatively scattered, with each one having some subtle differences.

“So, in the human world, the most troublesome ones should be the priest-level monsters.” Saros concluded, “They are good at disguising themselves, and it is unknown what they will become when they come into contact with the rich things in the human world.”

“However…” Ansel had a new idea, “If this is the case, then monsters like the Emperor will have less control over other monsters, right?”

Tsk, the subordinates have too many thoughts and it is difficult to control them, just like the case in the demon world. Therefore, Levi was completely unable to control the entire southern region, and was instead coerced by the demon lords; 

Saros’ side was highly unified, with the will of the Demon King being the top priority; 

As for his own side… it should be the same as Saros, right?

Saros: “…”

Absolutely different! Ansel’s subordinates always gave him a headache whenever he looked at them. Such a strange group of demons are completely following Ansel’s lead, which is very magical.

“It makes sense.”

Except for his lack of self-awareness, Ansel’s other viewpoints are very valuable for reference. Saros nodded and his hands touched something in his pocket, feeling that it’s time to finish discussing the business.

——That is a beautifully packaged gift box.

As the demon king, Saros undoubtedly has a great aesthetic, which can be seen from the cake he had prepared for his 250th anniversary. This gift box is only the size of a palm, and its entire body is dark black. It is tied with a golden ribbon, and the knots of the ribbon are personally tied by him. As for the contents inside…

Ansel blinked and looked at the gift box handed to him.

“For me?”

“Hmm.” His Majesty the Demon King, who was not very honest, coughed lightly, “Although there are only two of us in the human world now, the etiquette of communication between regions cannot be abolished. Since you have a new job now, I need to prepare a congratulatory gift for you.”

Ansel didn’t refuse, he even felt a bit novel, thinking that Saros, who insisted on giving him a gift, was so cute. But he soon realised that Saros could now be considered the leader of the Secret Council. In this case, it was also considered a new job, right? Then he also needs to prepare a congratulatory gift for him to make it reasonable.

He waved his hand proudly.

“Well..gifts need to be reciprocated. Since you are currently studying these monsters, I will catch twenty priest-level monsters for you in a few days. I will definitely catch them faster than the people in the Secret Council.”

Saros: “…”

No! ! The cat is back to catching the mouse again! Twenty at a time!

He reluctantly calmed down his mood and accepted the kindness, thinking that Ansel would specially catch it for him. Then, his gaze uncontrollably drifted towards the small gift box Ansel held in his hand.

“Why don’t you open it and take a look?”

Ansel was stunned. Did he want me to open it on the spot? Well, this is also possible.

The golden ribbon spread out in his hands, and when he opened the gift box, he saw something quietly lying on the dark blue velvet…

Hair band?

A horn hair band, with two small conical horns slightly curved, fixed on the outer side of the hair band, as if embedded with some special material, some fragments flickering slightly in it. If Ansel had been paying close attention to his horns, he might have noticed that this small horn hair band is clearly modelled after his own horn headband.

As Ansel opened the gift, His Majesty the Demon King Saros felt even more uneasy. He pretended not to care, but kept paying attention to Ansel’s expression with his peripheral vision.

Well… do you like it? Or…. don’t like it?

Ansel opened the box, picked up the headband, looked at the light, and then——

He started pulling his hair out !

This gift was given very timely. Ansel really wanted a hair band. To show his satisfaction, he tried to tie his hair up on the spot. It can be seen from his hair all year round that Ansel really doesn’t have much talent for taking care of himself. Apart from hanging all kinds of messy decorations on his body, just like now, grabbing a handful of hair, leaving a few strands here and there, he won’t be able to tie up his hair at all!

Damn it, it’s too slippery to hold !

In anger, Ansel rolled off the hair band that was tangled in his hair, almost pulling out a few hair strands. His movements reminded Saros of something, and his heart almost stopped beating.

This action of pulling off the hair band…. isn’t it the same as taking off the horns before? Why did he customise this kind of horn hair band again! His Majesty the Demon King reflected painfully in his heart. The most important thing right now is to tie Ansel’s hair, which was almost about to be torn off!

Saros: “…”

In fact, he also felt it when he secretly braided Ansel’s hair that night. Although his white hair is so beautiful, it’s really difficult to manage. No wonder Ansel’s hair proudly exploded like this only after a few days in the human world.

“No, don’t, don’t pull it…if it doesn’t work, just tie them up. Can you tie them up?”

Ansel grasped a handful of disobedient hair and shook his head honestly.

Saros: “…”

He had to teach the bird how to groom its fur on the spot.

“First, divide it into several strands, and then do it like this…”

The white hair was quickly braided into beautiful braids, and Ansel felt much more refreshed. He grabbed the freshly made braid and shook it back and forth, even wanting to sleep at night without dismantling it, and keep it tomorrow.

Saros: “…”

That’s just another way to achieve explosive hair!

But……

The Demon King lowered his eyelashes.

Being with Ansel like this, braiding his hair, and then tying it with a hair band he made by himself. The hair band was wrapped in the hair several times, as if it was entangled in his fate layer by layer.

If only it could really be entangled.

If only he could wear the horns forever.

The white bird does not fly away, remaining in the demon world forever.

The excitement of braiding Ansel’s hair quickly passed, and he felt as if he had forgotten something.

What did he forget?

Ah! Convenience store! Joey!

The night wind was howling, and Joey stood at the door of the convenience store confused and frightened. He was still on duty and couldn’t leave easily, so he could only poke his head around from time to time and walk back and forth, finally squatting down and pulling his hair.

It’s just taking out the trash…

Did Ansel travel through time?

The author has something to say:

Taking out the trash for half an hour.

Joey: Ah ah ah ah, Ansel, where are you?!

Joey: It couldn’t be that he, an ordinary person, was eaten by a monster? !

Two demon kings braiding their hair among the monsters:….
