Airi’s expression remained unchanged.
“You can try.”
The atmosphere instantly became dangerous.
“—”
The expressions of the Demon Lords in the conference room changed.
Except for Airi, Sara, Shafney, Lid, Kamina, and even Millu looked at their youngest sister with surprise. The seductive smile that always adorned Shafney’s face disappeared.
“Little Airi, are you crazy?” Shafney asked incredulously, “You’re willing to become enemies with your own sisters for a Hero?”
This surprised everyone.
Because they were Airi’s sisters, they knew what kind of person she was.
In the past, Airi was a cruel and merciless Demon Lord, countless enemy soldiers dying under her dragon breath, even two Heroes. She was considered one of the most ruthless among the Demon Lords.
Such an Airi was sometimes even cold and indifferent towards her own sisters, only showing rare emotions before the one who had passed away.
And since that person’s death, although Airi restrained her ruthlessness, she also completely closed herself off, only repeating the cycle of sleeping and waking, seemingly isolating herself from everyone.
That’s why the Demon Lords were so surprised when they learned that Airi went to the Human Realm, befriended a young human man, and even favored him, becoming incredibly curious about Shien.
Sara even went to the Human Realm to meet Shien immediately after learning about this. One could imagine how much attention, concern, and curiosity the Demon Lords had towards Shien, who managed to win Airi’s favor.
Until today, they were still wondering why this Hero could make Airi so fond of him.
Was it simply because he was the Hero?
Perhaps this was part of the reason, but it definitely wasn’t the only one.
After all, Heroes were the natural enemies and nemesis of the Demon Race. It was already a miracle that Airi didn’t kill Shien on the spot after learning his identity, and the fact that she favored him instead clearly had a reason.
The Demon Lords were curious about this reason and thus wanted to contact Shien.
Of course, these Demon Lords were mostly reckless, especially Shafney and Kamina, who were both dangerous to Shien. Their interest in him wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
Shafney and Kamina also knew this.
However, they didn’t expect that Airi would go this far for Shien.
“This is a bit much, Airi,” Lid frowned.
“A fight?” Millu seemed to sense the danger, but instead of being afraid, she looked eager.
“…” Sara didn’t say anything, just looking deeply at Airi, seemingly lost in thought.
As for Kamina, she wasn’t angered by Airi’s words.
Because…
“Someone who can make you go this far to protect them, I’m becoming more and more curious about him,” Kamina said casually.
“You…” Airi seemed to want to do something.
But Sara stopped her.
“Alright, little Airi, I won’t allow you to become enemies with your own sisters for an outsider,” Sara looked at Airi, “If you continue like this, I’ll start to suspect that you’ve been turned by the Hero. If that happens, even I might want to do something to Shien Buztout.”
Hearing this, Airi had to shut her mouth.
She knew Sara wasn’t joking.
If Sara truly felt that Shien’s existence would affect the relationship between the Demon Lords, causing internal strife and turning sisters against each other, then she would definitely eliminate Shien at all costs.
That wasn’t something Airi wanted to see.
So, Airi closed her mouth, even her eyes, and said nothing more, acting as if she was no longer involved.
This was also a form of silent protest.
Seeing Airi like this, the Demon Lords exchanged glances.
“Sister Sara, Lid, you’ve both met that Hero, right?” Shafney asked curiously, as if truly interested in Shien, “What kind of person is he?”
At this moment, Shafney was genuinely curious about what kind of Hero could make her usually cold and indifferent younger sister, who wouldn’t even give her sisters face, so infatuated.
Not just Shafney, but even Kamina perked up her ears, showing her interest.
Among the Demon Lords present, only the two of them hadn’t met Shien.
Therefore, they were incredibly curious about what was so special about this Hero.
Sara and Lid thought for a moment, then answered.
“How should I put it?” Lid said, her tone a mix of amusement and strangeness, “I don’t know how to describe him, I can only say that this Hero is different from the Heroes we’ve met before.”
“He is different,” Sara blinked, then smiled wryly, “If you really get to know him, you’ll probably find him very special and interesting. So, I actually understand why little Airi is so fond of him.”
The words of the Moon Demon and the Beast Demon not only intensified the curiosity of the Succubus and the Poison Demon, but also elicited a cheer from the Ghost Demon.
“Shien is very interesting, very fun!”
Millu raised her hands and cheered.
Their attitudes made Shafney and Kamina exchange glances, both seeing the uncontainable excitement in each other’s eyes.
