Chapter 270: The War Between the Hero and the Demon King Has Begun

"A reward? The breakfast I made for you is your reward. Who told you to let the witch have it?"

Rin said with a hint of distaste as he plated the cheese bread, adding vegetables and bacon.

Just after finishing Emilia’s breakfast, the silence without Suyu’s voice was too loud, so he turned to take a look.

The Lord of the Demon King was looking at him with a forlorn expression, like a palace concubine who had been cast aside in a drama.

Even though he knew this guy was pretending, Rin still felt soft-hearted. When he thought about how he had a little baby to care for, he could only let out a soft huff.

"What do you want to eat? I’ll make it for you, but it’s best if you gather the ingredients yourself."

Suyu turned sadness into joy, ignoring that Rin was still wearing an apron, and reached out to hug his neck.

"The little junior is getting cuter and cuter."

Rin’s face looked unnatural as he turned his head away, still speaking in a commanding tone.

"Stop messing around, I still have to cook."

"The reward I’m talking about is not just a simple meal."

"? Just so you know, I don’t have any money left."

"I will support you."

The Lord of the Demon King chuckled softly and leaned close to Rin’s ear, whispering, "The reward I mentioned is, of course, …"

As he spoke, he pointed to his own lips.

Rin rubbed his itchy ears and nervously looked around.

At that moment, Angela was still finishing up with Suyu, battling the Shadow Monster, and did not notice what was happening over here.

So, after hesitating for almost two seconds, Rin boldly leaned in and gave a quick kiss.

Just then, there was a sudden sound of wood cracking, as if something had smashed into it, followed by a wild gust of wind blowing chaotically.

Suyu narrowed her eyes slightly and gently waved her hand, blocking the wind outside.

Emilia, wearing pajamas and holding a steel sword tightly, glared at Suyu with cold eyes.

"Let go of the tundere."

Suyu slightly tilted her head back, but her fingers playfully brushed near Rin’s chin, looking at the waste hero with a mix of pride and teasing.

"Is that you, Junior Emilia? It’s been a long time."

The waste hero was momentarily stunned, instantly recognizing the other person with the hero’s intuition.

"Xingli."

"To be precise, you should call me Senior Sister Suyu, don’t you think, little junior?"

Rin swatted her hand away and rubbed his temples in annoyance.

"Anyway, we are all familiar faces… waste hero, would you like to have breakfast?"

Emilia remained unfazed, staring at Suyu before turning to Rin, and she shook her sword’s tip towards Suyu.

"Why does that vixen show up with this face and mess with a tsundere?"

"This is just a little happy activity between lovers in the morning. How could the junior not see this and still want to disturb us?"

"Lovers? Happy?"

Waste Hero softly spoke a few words, slightly lowering their eyes and gripping the sword tighter in their hand.

"Why are you making a fuss? Don’t bully Waste Hero anymore."

Rin felt there was a strange tension in the air and quickly chimed in.

"I don’t have anything! Junior, why are you so biased? Boo-hoo!"

Emilia could no longer hold back and charged at Suyu with her sword.

God knows she was woken up early in the morning by the smell of food, thinking Tundere was making her breakfast, feeling all bubbly inside.

But when she glanced out the window, what she saw was you and a mysterious person who looked delicate and weak, and just didn’t seem good.

How can I still hold back this bad mood?

Suyu was indeed calm and collected, a wave of magic wrapped around her hand, and she directly grabbed Emilia’s sword.

The waste hero tried with all her might to pull out the sword but couldn’t, her eyes turning into cat-like slits in anger, her whole body bristling with frustration.

Suyu, however, was smiling, and with magical chains, she tied her up, lifting her as if she were a small cat, using the magic to carry the hero easily.

"You said you didn’t bully anyone!"

Rin suddenly became unhappy; "Stop messing around and quickly put the waste hero down, look, she is about to turn into a cat."

"Student, why are you so biased? This lazy and silly cat attacked me as soon as we met, so as a senior sister, of course I must teach the younger student a lesson."

"…"

Rin was a bit stunned, wondering what was going on with these two today, they clashed as soon as they met.

Suyu’s appearance is the one she usually uses at the academy; the waste hero probably hasn’t seen this side of her. What they know is the original "Xingli."

Even with Xingli, it seems they didn’t start off so hostile.

"What’s there to argue about? Alright, alright, just let her go."

"Tsk."

This time, the Lord of the Demon King could see that this hero was still very important to the younger student.

Though feeling a bit unwilling, she thought that if she were in Rin’s position, he would act the same, plus she was already ahead of the hero in many ways.

Yes, whether in levels, strength, appearance, or other advantages.

The sly Demon King quietly whispered a few words to the waste hero.

The waste hero, who was struggling and meowing, suddenly froze, casting a doubtful glance at Suyu’s abdomen.

Suyu smiled as she set her down, took back the magical chain, and blew a kiss to Rin.

"Alright, little junior, I’ve been here long enough, and I have a lot of things to take care of. By the way, you did well last night, so you get a full score!"

After saying this, the fox opened a space and disappeared.

Just as the space closed, Emilia swung her sword at nothing.

"This guy just has to make a fuss for no reason."

Rin couldn’t help but complain and then leaned closer to Emilia, asking, "Are you okay, waste hero?"

Emilia stared blankly at the spot where the Demon King had vanished for a long time, then pulled back her sword and tilted her head to look at Rin.

"Did you, and her, also take the test?"

"What test… uh?"

"Exam."

Faced with those dark eyes, Rin couldn’t help but step back two paces, stumbling over his words and unable to speak.

"Just as I thought." She slightly lowered her head, carrying an air of restraint.

Noticing that the waste hero was completely different from usual, Rin felt a lack of confidence and quickly glanced at the plate beside him, hurriedly picking it up.

"Ahem, good, let’s have breakfast first."

Miss Hero’s gaze lingered on the plate for a moment, then she carefully looked at Rin, who seemed anxious and eager to please, and the strange atmosphere quickly faded.

Her stiff back and shoulders relaxed, and she gently nodded.

"Yes, eat."

Rin immediately sighed in relief, "Indeed, just a lazy cat."

As he said this, he moved a stool for the waste hero to sit down and began the morning feeding task.

"Are you silly? You already got tricked by a fox before, yet you still rush in knowing you can’t win."

"Don’t be foolish next time; that guy is very cunning and might try to trick you again."

Without hearing the waste hero’s usual "good" and "meow" sounds, and seeing Emilia’s blank stare, it was clear she was eating only by instinct, her mind far away.

After finishing breakfast without care, the waste hero quickly fixed his eyes on Angela, who was lazily resting on a chair, thought for a moment, and walked over.

Rin was about to follow, but Emilia stopped, turned her head, and quietly said a few words.

"You are not allowed to follow."

Rin felt a wave of sadness and stayed put, lowering his head like a child who had done something wrong.

He was not stupid; he could see that Emilia started acting strange when Suyu left.

Combining Suyu’s ability to communicate and her personality, it seems she talked about them in a boastful way.

Sigh, even though he knew this day would come, he was still not prepared and didn’t know what to say.

Now Emilia is really angry, what should I do?

In the distance, the waste hero seemed to be asking something, Angela was first surprised, then thought for a moment, and nodded. They talked for a while longer.

"I see, so there’s still time."

After saying a few words to Angela, Emilia turned to go back to Rin.

But she saw Rin looking down, sad and listless, and couldn’t help but look at him for a bit longer.

When she got closer, Rin lifted his head; his eyes, which were once gloomy, sparkled a bit with shame.

"Good kitty, you haven’t washed up yet, go wash up first. I… I’ll help you brush your teeth today!"

On that beautiful face, there was no trace of the usual aloofness, only a look of "I know I was wrong" that seemed eager to please.

Miss Hero couldn’t hold it in for even two seconds and sheepishly said, "Good meow."

A smile immediately appeared on Rin’s face, his eyes brightened, and he quickly took Emilia’s hand to walk towards the riverbank.

After Rin helped her wash up, Emilia grabbed Rin’s toothbrush, opened her mouth wide, and said "Ah," signaling for Rin to do the same.

Rin happily closed his eyes and opened his mouth, forgetting even his usual complaints.

After finishing up, Emilia shook her fist, full of energy and determination.

"Let’s start training, get stronger, and reach level forty within a year."

It was nothing like her usual lazy self; even with a blank expression, Rin could see the spirit of hard work and determination in Emilia.

He couldn’t help but ask, "Did you take the wrong medicine?"

"For you, child."

"？？？"

"Hahahahahahahaha!"

Angela couldn’t help but laugh out loud, hiding behind the tree, her body shaking with laughter, clearly not knowing when she had sneaked up on the two to watch them being affectionate.

Rin reacted and looked at her with great disgust, "Teacher Angela, after all these years, don’t you know that eavesdropping on others is very rude?"

"Tsk tsk, I was just passing by, don’t flatter yourself too much. You may be young, but you sure have gotten into quite a bit of trouble with love. Each one you attract is more impressive than the last, and they are all so devoted! Tsk tsk, this talent is way better than the Phoenix bloodline. Even if you can’t become an Archmage, living off someone else can still be quite profitable."

She chuckled, "Do you want to know what your little girlfriend just came over to ask me?"

Rin, who had almost lost his temper from her mocking words, felt his anger rising and almost took out the Magic Book.

Hearing the last sentence, he hesitated and looked at the waste hero.

"What did you ask her? That guy smiled like a dog’s tail."

"The fox said, ‘hero, giving birth requires a rank, but for foxes, it takes a long time.’"

A few mixed-up words confused Rin, who was a level ten in waste hero language.

Seeing this, Angela kindly started to explain.

It turned out that before Suyu left, she not only boasted about the fruits of love but also took a sly jab at the hero.

"Just give up and leave early. Haha, I’ve never heard of a hero giving birth before reaching level forty."

These words instantly broke Emilia’s defense, and she ran to ask Angela.

The witch, well-informed, recalled past biographies of female heroes and found that none had given birth before level 40.

However, very few people noticed this, as most heroes chose to marry and have children after defeating the Demon King.

Occasionally, there are a few people in love, and the first ones to have children are usually at level forty.

Suyu can confidently say this, and it is not just alarmist talk; perhaps there are some rules about heroes that are not known to outsiders.

Of course, Angela also told Emilia that Suyu’s kind is special, and their pregnancy lasts at least two years, which rekindled Emilia’s hope.

The only worry is the level issue.

"Thinking carefully, it might be something like a Rank system," Angela said, looking thoughtful. "There are many talents and rules that heroes show and do not show, and having children might be one of them, but I don’t know why."

"But this is just a guess; even if it is true, having children at level forty in a year seems too much…"

Rin’s heart was actually worried, just like the waste hero, with his eyebrows furrowed.

Clearly, he also cares a lot about his promise with Emilia to have two lovely and well-behaved girls.

Upon reflection, it is indeed possible for heroes.

Heroes usually reach their highest level in about ten years. Their experience grows faster as their level increases, and they do not have normal rank limits.

The fastest record for defeating the Demon King started just three years after gaining holy powers.

Of course, that was the weakest Demon King in history and the weakest hero, one who foolishly studied curses and made himself disabled, losing levels, while the other worked very hard.

When they chose to battle early, they were only level eighty-two.

Heroes cannot be measured by normal standards, especially since Emilia is the main female character in the story, the first cheater, and the most talented hero ever.

She is at a low level now because she is too lazy and does not train at all; she only gains experience when completing quests.

In the book, after she graduates, her level skyrockets.

Level forty is not just a fanciful dream.

How frustrating, why do cheaters exist in this world!

It felt like playing an old video game, getting beaten hundreds of times, finally making some progress, only to find my roommate sweeping through effortlessly with their special power.

It stings a bit, but since this cheat is my useless kitty, and for my daughter’s sake, I will let this grudge go for now.

But I can never lose to someone so shameless who uses cheats!

Rin’s strong desire to win was impossible to hold back. He lifted his chin and said proudly, "Even though this guess seems completely baseless, having a goal is always good! I will join you all the way, just a worthless hero, get ready to be surpassed by me!"

I can’t let the worthless hero get too far ahead, worst case, I’ll secretly work extra hours tonight to train harder.

Both of them were excited and full of energy, starting today’s training without a word.

Angela looked up at the misty sky and shook her head with her eyes closed.

"Am I out of touch with the young trends? These two are actually doing this for such a reason… Seriously, what’s so great about kids! Haven’t I been living this way for over three hundred years? Ugh! So pretentious."

Should I consider having a child too? After all, the witch bloodline needs to continue.
