Gonna be my longest shot for sure, but here goes. 1.) Shouldn’t be a reincarnation/other world transfer fantasy, should include war/kingdom/senki-like elements though. 2.) Was a manga adaptation of a novel, manga was fan-TLed before 2014, and according to those in the know, ended right before “getting to the dark stuff” of said novel. 3.) Cunning/mostly-all-talk MC, with himekishi-styled heroine that is more mature than hime. She’s not the only character from that archetype, and he is not a demon king. 4.) They met as she was... invading his castle? She was following instructions from someone else? He was left behind or advised against staying, but waited for her anyway in the throneroom, and then proceeded to bargain with her after she blew the roof off the castle (serious scene)? They work out a contract where she doesn’t kill him cause it goes against her logic, beliefs, n blah? There’s a window jumping scene somewhere later, my memory fails me. 5.) ???? 6.) 90% sure JP, could be KR, most likely not CN.
Wait, I am at a loss here. Why the heck did she invade his castle when she didn't even have the resolution to kill him? Did she invade to invite him to a tea party or something?
Well, that also sounds plausible. Maybe she wanted to watch stranger things together with him. The more the merrier, they say.
souns like a skewed version of demon king and hero.but he lived in a hut,among other details that are different
Forgot about that gem! But nah, it was not a fluffy story. :edit: don’t recall any demon kings either... there was ALOT of yada-yada reasoning being thrown around, me thinks it was something about how it’ll benefit her more if he stays alive, and he wasn’t the main target but rather a stand-in?
while this isnt her leaving him alive theres that one where hes subordinate of demon king and falls in love at first sight qith the cleric girl.its jap.goes something along the libes of "cant be this cute" or "konna ni kawai" that kind of shit naming sense.but yeah he agrees to let theyr party pass him- the mini boss in exchange for letting him get close to her iirc Edit: got on my pc heres the link for LN,theres also WN https://www.novelupdates.com/series/yuusha-party-no-kawaii-ko-ga-ita-no-de-kokuhaku-shite/
I think it's irrelevant with what OP is asking... Though normally we would already have the answer to such a question by now, right?
