I Became the Demon King of Lust

So we moved out of the room and found a place to hold a meeting.

"Just let me take care of it." Claire suddenly said.

All of us turned to look at her when she said this with confused looks.

She then said, "It\'s simple, just let me trap it and I\'ll be able to take it down with my special shot."

The special shot she was talking about was her trump card.

It was a special charge shot that would use up all of her mana in a single attack, but that meant that it had insane power.

It was just that it took too much time to charge and that it could only be used once. As soon as she used it, she would be out of energy.

It was so bad that she needed to be carried around like luggage after it was used.

It definitely wasn\'t something that could be used that easily.

However, Claire was insisting on using it.

It was definitely an option, but it wasn\'t the best idea that we had since it was a pretty desperate one.

If we used this option and Claire dropped out of the fight, then what would happen if something else showed up after we took care of the dungeon boss. Or what would happen if there was a sudden change in the situation of this dungeon. Or even, what would happen if she couldn\'t take it down in one shot?

This was really a desperation move that should be saved as a last resort, but Claire was suggesting that we open with this.

I really didn\'t understand what she was thinking.

When I asked her about this, all she did was give a snort and turn away.

Then after a few seconds, she turned to look at Long Shui Ling.

I just had a confused look on my face the entire time.

That was until Blaze and Hayato came over to pat me on the shoulder before saying, "Boss, you really are dense sometimes."

I just revealed an even more confused look when I heard this.

Qin Yue Ru…looked at me with a look like she thought less of me because of this.

All of this would have gotten to me if I didn\'t know what was actually going on.

Lilith had already given me the clue, so it was impossible for me to ignore.

It turned out that her clue was true…

I didn\'t even know how it happened since I never should have done anything that should have made Claire feel this way.

So what had it been?

Regardless, this was the best way to act right now.

As long as I acted unaware of this, I would be able to get through this.

This was a situation that wasn\'t easily dealt with and I needed time to put suggestions into both of them before anything could happen.

For that, I needed to separate them and work on them one at a time before I could do anything.

Since Claire was also in love with me, then there was no reason for me not to take advantage of this.

As if to go against what Claire had said, Long Shui Ling cut in with, "No, I should be the one that does it. You know what my powers can do, so it\'ll be easier for me to take care of this boss."

As she said this, she looked at Claire with antagonistic eyes.

Claire didn\'t back down as she also looked at Long Shui Ling with narrowed eyes.

The other three just gave sighs and shook their heads.

But Qin Yue Ru moved closer to Blaze during this, almost as if she was claiming her territory.

I looked at her and said, "No, no one is acting alone."

Long Shui Ling pouted her lips when I said this and she turned her head too as if she was ignoring me.

All I could do was reveal a bitter smile.

It seemed that it was up to me to calm these two down or else we would never get anywhere.

So I gave a cough and said, "What is wrong with the two of you? We\'re supposed to be working together, not going at each other\'s throats? Is there something wrong that you two aren\'t happy about?"

Both of them were surprised to hear this before looking at each other and turning their heads away with snorts.

To the side, the other three put their heads in their hands as they shook their heads.

Even the porters who had been silent the entire time couldn\'t help shaking their heads.

It was already this clear at this point, how could he still not see it?

If there was an award for the most dense person, he would definitely win this.

But I of course knew what they were thinking.

This was the only way for me to calm them down.

Confronting them would make them back down since it wasn\'t an easy thing for them to admit.

Long Shui Ling didn\'t want to acknowledge it because this would make it worse for her.

It would be like forcing Claire to confess and she could see how beautiful Claire was compared to her…especially that figure…

She didn\'t want her to say a thing.

As for Claire…it was hard for her to confess her feelings.

If she responded, that would be no different from clearly stating that she was in love with him and that was the last thing that she would do.

Minor jealousy was one thing, but saying out loud that she was in love with him…

She would rather jump into a hole.

And that was what I was counting on.

So I changed the topic by saying, "Alright, this is what we\'re doing…"
