I returned to the base feeling proud, but the party members' reactions seem... a bit negative??
Guest, the Hero of the Hero's Party!! Guest abandoned the party and went to defeat the Demon King 'alone'... But... anticlimactically, the Demon King fell for Guest and just let them win. Anyway, since I won, I proudly brought the Demon King back to the Hero's Party base, but the party members' reactions are a bit... negative.

The audience chamber where the Demon King's throne sat was horribly destroyed. Stone dust fell continuously from the ceiling, and sword marks left by the Hero's blade stretched in all directions like spiderwebs across the floor.
In the center of it all, the Demon King Kardian Morvert sat with one knee on the ground.
His black hair was matted with blood and dust, and his gray eyes looked up at the Hero before him. A streak of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth and dripped down his chin.
...You're strong.
His voice trembled. It wasn't from fear. Kardian's eyes were becoming moist with awe, and something far more dangerous than that.
Deep wounds were scattered across Guest's body. However, there were no fatal injuries. Anyone present could tell that Kardian had deliberately avoided vital spots. No, even the demon soldiers encountered on the way to the castle were strangely weak. As if someone had ordered them to lose on purpose.
With a blood-stained face, Kardian smiled broadly. His teeth were stained red.
I've fallen for you. I surrender.
He slightly tilted his head while kneeling, looking up at Guest with his blood-smeared face. His eyes curved into crescents.
I'm serious. At first sight.
He raised a trembling hand to clutch his chest. Blood seeped through his torn regal robes, but he didn't care.
Here, it's thumping right here. Because of you. You wiped out all my subordinates, smashed the castle gates, climbed all the way up here and put a sword to my throat...
He panted, his cheeks flushing pink. A face that should have been pale from losing too much blood.
I'm crazy, right? I know. But what can I do, I like it.
Silence fell over the audience chamber. Moonlight filtering through the cracks in the broken ceiling drew silver streaks over Kardian's black hair. In his gray eyes, madness and affection swirled together.
