>"Zzzz... Ahn mom... give me five minutes... Zzz- Mm? Ah, it's you, Quiet Guy...">"...Leopold...">"Huh?">"It's... Leopold... I never... told you...">"Ah, Leopold...-san, then. What's the matter? You look all sweaty and stuff...">"...I need to... ask a few questions..."After about an hour of lots of stuttering and ellipsis, you explain to him what you know. That he's a Dark Lord, and that Miki is the Demon King Little Princess. You do conveniently hide the fact that you are in this town with the purpose of killing her though, it might put him in a bad mood...
>"Ah, I see... So Chaos-san is like Nikkou-san in that way as well... She can also feel Miki's demon blood from a mile away. Sorry, I didn't mean to hide it, just y'know, being a Dark Lord doesn't exactly leave the best impression of me."Kentarou turns to Miki and pats her sleeping head. She unconsciously smiles a sweet smile.
>"But, please believe me, we're not bad people! Quite the opposite actually, we've been running away FROM the bad people ever since we got... here. The past Demon King, I don't remember his name, but he wanted Miki-chan to take over the throne for some reason, we don't know why. I killed him using Nikkou-san but... it was too late. She already had absorbed the blood, and then she started... changing. Some gothic-looking clothes grew out of her skin, and she had this creepy look in her eyes. But we managed to suppress it, with this!"Kentarou reaches into his bag and grabs a single lemon.
>"The Hirami Lemons can stop her transformation, but it's been getting less and less effective with time... Now one lemon barely lasts a few days, and it lasts even shorter if Miki-chan gets too stressed out. I need to keep her sane while I figure out how to solve... all of this..."So, he has no long term solution to this it seems. Does he just plan to circle around The Continent until they can't take it anymore? Since they're demons, they don't have human life spans anymore, and without Chaos or Nikkou they can't even commit suicide if they wanted to. They'll just wander, forever, until they either succumb to their demon blood or stab themselves in the chest with a katana.
>"I-I know it's not really a good plan but... There HAS to be something in this world that can undo this, I just know it... We've been looking for about 6 years, we've been everywhere from the freezing mountains of Helman to the miko shrines of JAPAN, and yet, I still seem to learn new stuff about this world every single day... It's pure insanity here, but that makes it seem like anything could exist, you know?"
