Demon King & Hero Chapter 8-1: Who are you? Me? A G.o.ddess from the next neighbourhood.

Translator"s pre-chapter note: So this is the eighth main chapter of Demon King & Hero, but in the middle of it is an author"s Q&A section as well as a side story. The Q&A I might not translate, depending on whether you, the readers, want it or not. It"s nothing important, just the author discussing his plans around the time it was published. More importantly, the side story. That I will definitely translate, but it contains spoilers for the only main pairing. So do you guys want it in the middle of Chapter 8, where the author originally published it in, or do you want it after Chapter 9, the last chapter. If you don"t comment, I won"t know how you want it. Also, there was a Lunar New Year special chapter in the middle of Chapter 8 but it contains spoilers =.= Oh yeah, happy Lunar New Year!
TLN2: This was originally translated before Q&A 1.

Chapter 8 - Who are you? Me? A G.o.ddess from the next neighbourhood.
After everyone pa.s.sed their period of shock and horror, everyone resumed acting as if that time had never existed, looked at the Chief G.o.d and shouted,
"So, who"s the big sister?"
"Of course it"s me, you little b.i.t.c.h. Right, Dad?"
Looking at Raelle and the demon G.o.d who were taking pains to deliberately avoid looking at Sermir, the Chief G.o.d let them off by the grace of G.o.d.
"Hm… (Quick look at Sermir) Since they took Nielle"s side… Raelle would probably lose?"
"N-no way! No, seriously, I"m still the G.o.ddess of light? The hero"s on my side! And… (Quick look at Sermir) Hmm… My, my daughter"s… on my side as well?"
At the look in Sermir"s eyes, who was happily smiling in her direction, Raelle turned her head around and stammered her last lines.
"I"m not going to get sa.s.sy with her from now on."
"…Scary."
"…This isn"t? What"s..? I think I chose the wrong faith."
The Pope, hero and demon king that were looking on all reflected on their previous actions.
"Dad, you"re scared, right? Sermir made you lose your nerve!"
"No, it"s the first time in my life that I learned what gooseb.u.mps were. What is she, she"s scary. Be honest, Nielle, weren"t you scared as well?"
"Hm… The kid I knew wasn"t like that… Even though she was strong as a heavenly emperor she was so d.a.m.n innocent that she was only a mid-tier heavenly king… It"s all because that b.i.t.c.h Raelle didn"t raise her properly!"
"What? If you"re putting it like that, it"s because you raised your kid wrong that everything went to chaos!"
"We"re not family! He"s not my child! Have you ever seen a child threaten his parents? If that little s.h.i.t"s at a disadvantage, he"d even sell me out!"
"Manage your staff properly!"
"He"s under your management now! You try!"
At this mood which was about to dissolve back to bean flour again, the Chief G.o.d used his last resort.
[Open, G.o.d TALK!(1)][Chief G.o.d L●lbba(2) has joined the channel.][Chief G.o.d L●lbba] Someone pls help[Chief G.o.d Kim] I"m busy. Watching the kids go on with their Ragnarok.
[I"m a G.o.d] Dafuq, still not over?
[Chief G.o.d Kim] yy. The humans siding with the demon G.o.d made a chimera and took the advantage again. It"s fun.
[I"m a G.o.d] Waow, at our place a single hero just swept through everything so it ended quickly.
[Now a Patient] Ah, f- don"t talk to me about heroes right now. The one in my place tried to cut me as well. Nearly got rekt.
[Chief G.o.d Kim] Oh, I heard you got the hero with max level Heart Blade? Then again, for not having magic, your place is the best with swords. If a few of your murim(3) kids came over, our local swordsmasters would probably get wrecked right down to their souls.
[Chief G.o.d L●lbba] Oh f- Help me guys. Don"t go off on a tangent.
[Now a Patient] What, did your place get a Heart Blade user? Have fun.
[Chief G.o.d L●lbba] No, I have one, but that"s not the problem.
[Chief G.o.d Kim] But your place has the clergy on top. But a Heart Blade user as well?
[Chief G.o.d L●lbba] yy. The hero got p.i.s.sed so used Heart Blade. Early stages so I didn"t die but it hurt.
[Now a Patient] So what"s the problem?
[Chief G.o.d L●lbba] You know I"ve got two daughters.
[Chief G.o.d Kim] Eh? Wasn"t it one boy one girl?
[Chief G.o.d L●lbba] The one that"s the demon G.o.d decided to go back to being a woman. But started fighting again about who"s the big sister.
[Dramalover has joined the channel.][Dramalover] What"s going on?
[Chief G.o.d Kim] Lolbba broke his back in his daughters" fight.
[Chief G.o.d L●lbba] No, my daughters are the same as ever so I don"t really care, but the others are scary. Really scary. The world"s going crazy.
[Now a Patient] The one going mad is my place. The Chief G.o.d got knifed by a human and nearly died, you know?
[Dramalover] Oi, make sure that thing can"t cross dimensions. I"ve got no one in my place that can handle that.
[Chief G.o.d Kim] yy. Plus, my place is in the middle of Ragnarok. Absolutely mustn"t crossover. That"s a balance breaker.
[Chief G.o.d L●lbba] Oh, for- don"t stray off again. Long story short, the money-counting demon king got summoned to the human world, but this lil" s.h.i.t decided to quit being a demon king and decided to be a farmer. So the hero came along, but the demon king is a hero lover so fell in love at first sight. You all know Raelle, right? My daughter that"s responsible for being the G.o.d of light. She"s got a kid called Sermir, and that demon king made a covenant with her.
[Chief G.o.d Kim] Dafuq lolololololol hory shet. Better than Ragnarok.
[Dramalover] lolololololololololololol Not even my place"s soap operas are on that level lolololol
[Now a Patient] d.a.m.n it, if it wasn"t for this d.a.m.n hero I"d so go over to watch
[Chief G.o.d L●lbba] But that kid made a covenant so my daughters flipped. Both came to the human world. But twists after twists. I don"t even, it"s scary. Why is the world I made like this. The mind games are unreal.
[Chief G.o.d Kim] So why"s it h.e.l.l? What do you need help with?
[Chief G.o.d L●lbba] Come over to my place and decide who the big sister is. I"m scared.
[Now a Patient] soz. Need to look out for the hero.
[Chief G.o.d Kim] nono from me as well. In the middle of Ragnarok.
[Chief G.o.d L●lbba] Guys pls.
[Dramalover] Eh? Want me to come? If it"s Raelle and Nielle and not some other kids.
[Chief G.o.d L●lbba] Pls come. Save me.
[Dramalover] Hiiing, you"ve only got me, right?
[Chief G.o.d L●lbba] yy. Help me sis. When we go over, let"s go together and play some Lol.
[Dramalover] Ha? You didn"t know? Lol"s under maintenance.
[Chief G.o.d L●lbba] Oh wow….
[Dramalover] Haha. I"m heading over now.
[Dramalover has left the channel.][Chief G.o.d L●lbba has left the channel.]
The Chief G.o.d looked at the people staring blankly at him, or to be accurate, the s.p.a.ce behind him, and smiled.
"Oh, you arrived?"
"yy arrived."(4)
Said the woman behind him, looking as if she contained the entire beauty of the world.
"Wh, who are you?"
And to the question of the hero who represented everyone"s uncertainty, the woman poked her tongue out slightly and cutely said,
"Me? The G.o.ddess from the next neighbourhood."

The judge has arrived.
Translator"s Notes:
(1) Capitals originally in English.
(2) Lol or League of Legends. -bba suffix is slang abbreviation for -lover
(3) A society of martial artists, common in martial arts stories. Effectively, the Korean martial arts equivalent to xianxia Cultivators and their various societies and clans.
(4) Yep, she"s speaking in text language.
Cue the WTF.
11th edit: FTS I"m done. Leaving it as is.
