Rudy understood why Lilith had invited him on the trip.

As mentioned before, Theresa is the most attractive tool for the Demon King. Therefore, as long as Rudy takes Theresa around the world, the resurrected Demon King will automatically appear without him even having to look for her.

However, even if Rudy understood, there was only one answer he could give Lilith.

"I refuse."

Delia puffed out her cheeks in displeasure as she glared at Rudy and said:

Why?

"Don't you want to travel the world properly? You've been stuck in this mansion for over a decade, don't you get bored?"

"Besides, who knows, you might even meet a beautiful girl on your journey. You could travel around and kill the demon king who jumps out. Why don't you reconsider?"

"No need to consider it," Rudy said without looking up. "I reject your offer."

"I might actually travel in the future, but for now I'm still studying at the Hero Academy."

Lilith pursed her lips and whispered:

"With your current abilities, I think there's absolutely no need for you to go to school. Wouldn't it be better if we just dealt with the Demon King quickly?"

"Oh no! I'm not ready."

Just kidding, we haven't even figured out how to conquer the maze yet.

Why kill the Demon King so quickly when we haven't even made progress on the fusion with him?

Moreover, even if Lilith says Theresa is just a tool for the Demon King to attract people, what if the Demon King learns his lesson?

The world is not static.

Even if previous demon lords all used this method of entrapment and enforcement, which was then resolved by the heroes ganging up on them, it would be a huge mistake to think of the demon lords as idiots.

This time is completely different from the past.

The appearance of a double blood moon is proof of this.

Therefore, Rudy will not impulsively confront the resurrected Demon King before obtaining the power to destroy everything.

When will you be ready?

Delia pouted, looking at Rudy with dissatisfaction.

At least give me a time.

Rudy glanced at her and smiled slightly.

"Don't rush, Delia. After I graduate from the Hero Academy, I'll take you on a trip. And while we're at it, we'll have a few big, healthy boys."

Delia froze upon hearing this.

"I...I'm a goddess! I would never have a big, fat baby with you!"

"I never said I'd have a child with you."

Rudy calmly replied and turned his attention back to his notebook.

During this time, his teacher, Ms. Olive, taught him some knowledge about alchemy.

He plans to try it out himself sometime.

After learning alchemy, it becomes extremely convenient to create both potions and weapons.

………

After class, Michelle and Ariel curiously approached Delia.

Michelle: "Um, Delia, are you Rudy's fiancée? Why didn't I know this when I grew up with Rudy?"

The young maid got straight to the point and asked the question that had been on her mind.

In response, Delia raised her delicate chin, adopting an arrogant posture.

"It's normal that you didn't know because our relationship was only established a few days ago."

"Don't worry, Michelle. And your name is Ariel, right? Even though we're in a relationship, I haven't fallen for him yet, so it's hard to say what will happen in the future."

The implication is that you two still have a chance.

Michelle nodded blankly, then smiled and took Delia's hand in a friendly manner, saying:

"Oh, I see. I understand now. Let's get along well from now on."

"Since you are the young master's fiancée, Delia, you will likely become the mistress of the house in the future."

"Uh... I haven't decided yet whether I want to marry him or not. The engagement could be canceled at any time."

"It's alright, Michelle believes in Master Rudy!"

"Ariel too, I believe the young master will definitely be able to win you over!"

Delia was horrified when she heard this.

She didn't want to be taken by Rudy at all.

The reason she called herself his fiancée was just a playful prank.

Michelle held Delia's hand and chattered on and on.

Delia could only awkwardly deal with it.

She suddenly had an urge to run away.

They're so enthusiastic.

And the little maid kept quashing Rudi.

Looking at Delia, who was being pestered by the little maid, Rudy smiled and ignored Delia's pleading look, continuing to review his alchemy magic notes.

Goddess Lilith, since you've already called yourself my fiancée, you should take on the corresponding responsibilities.

Moreover, who knows, one day I, this fake fiancée, might become real.

Rudy's ambitions never disappeared.

and.

Yesterday's meal of Mina and the others slightly changed Rudy's previously indifferent mindset.

Well, how should I put it?

He seems to have awakened to the so-called original sin of humanity.

They became greedy.

Rudy had no intention of suppressing this desire.

He guessed that this was a necessary experience for fusing with the Demon King template.

After all, it was the power of the Demon King.

Moreover, this side effect is quite minor.

Specifically...

It's just that my mindset has changed.

He went from being indifferent to acting like a domineering CEO.

Moreover, this side effect can be offset.

Um.

Yesterday, Michelle and Mina's flattery completely neutralized his greedy and predatory heart, and he has now reverted to his original personality.

...

I sat in the toilet for a long time.

Kane's face turned deathly pale.

He couldn't figure out what he had eaten wrong.

Today I had another bout of severe diarrhea, and I felt completely exhausted.

After finishing with the contents of his stomach, Kane stood up, his face pale.

Pull up your pants.

Suddenly, a flash of red light appeared in his eyes.

Kane suddenly felt dizzy.

The next second, he lost consciousness.

However, what he didn't know was that "Kane" had opened his blood-red eyes again at that moment.

He assessed his physical condition and frowned.

"A curse?"

"What an idiot, he didn't even realize it was a curse."

"Fine, I'll help you this time..."

A thick, dark mist spread from his body, filling the entire toilet.

A moment later, a purple light was driven out by the black mist.

The black mist quickly shrank back into Kane's body.

Then, controlling Kane's body, He effortlessly arrived at Professor Troyes' office, asked for leave, and went straight back to the dormitory.

...

"Huh?"

The curse was lifted, and Rudy immediately sensed it.

After all, it was Kane who cast the curse.

As the caster, one will naturally sense when the magic is broken.

With a slight smile, Rudy revealed an expression of great interest.

"interesting."

"Kane, I didn't expect you to have other trump cards up your sleeve."
