Loli Demon Lord.

In front of him was a little girl with curveless waist, navel, and thighs. She has pale skin, voluminous and wavy violet hair, and goat-like horns.  She had on black jean booty shorts with black high heeled boots that stopped at her knee caps. On her chest was a black bra that was flat on her as she had no boobs to hide behind them.

"S-So cute.." He had never seen such a fashionable and cute child in his life. "Thank you, human! I think I look quite cute myself!" She spoke with arrogance while giving a hardy laugh. She would cross her arms while managing to put a hand just over her mouth.

'How is he so calm..?' Lars and Mary both thought while looking at him. While they held fear in their heart when she was present, Code seemed to hold nothing of the sort.

'I can't take her title as Demon Lord seriously when she looks like this. Shes just too...too cute and petite..'

He then stood up and made his way over to her. Lars was about to stop him when he was stopped by the Loli. "Anyone would be hypnotized by my charm, Lars. Especially a human.." Code reached for her head and placed his hand on it.

"What's your name?" He said while bending down to her level of 4'3. He would continue to rub her head in the process, an act that made a sensation in her lower area swirl. "I-I'm the Demon Lord, Ryoko!" Code commented on how it was a pretty name to which Mary agreed on.

The more she saw how innocent and non frightening the Demon Lord was, the less afraid she became. Even though she felt like this, the Demon Lord always kept an eye on her, seeming to tell her to not move an inch or else she'll be turned to human paste.

Code eventually stopped rubbing her head which left her with a slightly red face. "A-Ahem. A-Anyways, I've heard about your powers. Even amongst my people, it's quite rare to posses unique powers. For us demons, it's one in one hundred. For humans though, it's one in one thousandth.."

It's hard for a demon to reproduce, so shes basically implying that it's nearly impossible for them. As for humans, they are..well, humans. They can easily reproduce and so, finding unique abilities on their continent wasn't that rare, yet rare at the same time.

"So, you stumbled across our city on accident and came in. Why, because it seemed open for any visitors?"

"Well, yes actually.."

Code spoke for his party of two. "I see. Well, it's nice to know that humans have that danger factor like they used too. But you humans, you humans are really brave. Coming here with only two people? I'd think you be suicidal.."

"Remember, we came across this place by accident.."

"Yes, of course. And a that's while I'll present you with two options. The first is that you could leave and never come back.."

That seemed to be the option they liked the most at the moment, "Or you could stay, become pawns and work for me and grow in power. You'll both live a life of luxury with free food, women or men in your chambers at the simple sound of a bell and you'll be in my direct favor, granting even more benefits. Whaddya say?"

At such a proposal, Mary and Code had to go into a little private huddle. "Mary, I know that just last chapter we were scared shitless, but now, that second option don't seem too bad. I mean think about it, we'll basically be nobles and other Demons won't dare to bother us.."

In the city, they'll be protected by the strongest there is. Outside those gates however, they'll be all alone, no telling of who might come after them after hearing about their unique powers.

"I-I think we should just leave, Ichibe. The proposal sounds amazing and all, but...I just can't. I can't trust my own judgement anymore.."

She didn't want to put herself OR Ichibe in danger again. The feeling of knowing that she would've been the death of them would hunt her even after death. "I see. I...see.." He then looked at the Demon Lord who could hear the entirety of the conversation.

"P-Please grant me a small favor. If you can, we'll promise to stay.." He placed his hand on Mary's and smiled at her, an act which caused the Demon Lord to frown slightly. "Tell me." She said while crossing her arms and showing a smug expression.

"I heard of a ritual,..something that could turn Humans..into Demons.." Mary's and Lars' eyes widened when hearing that. The loli only showed interest. "While I believe in my own powers, it's not enough. Humans are the only species that can't cross the threshold of level 100. No matter what, we just can't. And that's why, I'll do the ritual in order to become something else. Something that'll make all the worries she has go away."

Mary slapped him then pointed at him in anger. "Are you crazy! You'll become a demon for such stupid reasons! Do you really think I'm so weak that I'll have my friend turn into a devil, just to protect me?!" Things were heating up, and so the Loli ordered Lars to make a chair for her, an act he complied with.

"Yes, I do actually. I think you're very weak. Your not fast, physically strong, nor do you have ways to protect yourself...you're a burden to be honest.

The more I level up, the slower I do as well, even with my power. Meeting these two demons have shown me that there are bigger fish in the sea though.

I believe that by sacrificing my humanity, I can protect you like I promised. Without this, sure we can live a life of luxury, but we both know that that's not what we want in the end."

Hearing it so straightforward caused her to tilt her head down slightly while bawling her fist. She never knew she was thought of like this. She never knew she was this weak. "You saved my life, Mary. Let me repay you..by saving yours.."

He kissed her on the check then smiled. In the background, her jealousy became more apparent as she released killing intent on her servant, Lars, who had to take all of it in himself. 'Why am I so jealous of that human girl? Why..?'

After some more reasoning, Mary spoke. "For you to go this far for me, someone you've only known for a week, it's quite idiotic. But, I've never heard of someone sacrificing their humanity for the sake of protecting a loved one. Its honestly sweet.."

Intertwining her fingers with his, she held their hands up and kissed the back of his. "Thank you, Ichibe. For showing a stranger so much love and warmth. You tell me my mistakes and when I'm in the wrong. Honestly, I feel like you've made me a better person somehow.."

There height difference caused the moment to shine even further. "Your welcome. Now whaddya say? Can I do this for you? Can I do this...for us?" She nodded with a satisfied expression. "Then its settled?" The Loli said while standing up and yawning cutely.

"Yes. We'll stay in this country, and I'll become...a Demon.."
