"- So, as far as I'm concerned, I think you can take it, what do you think?
Yes, I questioned them in one of the rooms to which they were addressed as our beds.
"... that's right - it's a bit difficult, but I'm sure you'd like to take it even with me -... but if you get this talk, the Demon King will be in a lot of danger..."
"Oh, no, that's all right"
The area is already woven.
Demons are followers of power, good or bad.
I mean - if you understand that I'm rampant and I'm stronger, the bastards, whether they're demons on the enemy's side, are going to follow this one.
It's a hard value to understand, but they're rooted in that kind of consciousness more than I think.
Of course, not all of those guys, especially those like the center of the demon clan, would be as hostile to this one as I wanted if I was violent, but the Soytes were originally, my incompatible enemies.
As Hood said a while ago, if you're the one who's seeing conflict sooner or later, you can smash it from here.
I would say that there is no great difference between what I did when I went to the capital of the king of man.
"... it's okay. The Lord, En protects"
"Haha, ah. Thanks."
I stroke En's head and then go on with the words.
"It's just... the problem is you could be betrayed by your allies"
"... not that I can assure you, but I think that's probably okay -"
"Heh? Really?
Leila returns the gavel to my inquiry.
"The Allies are not the only ones - If you betray the Demon King here, you will lose credibility with other allies."
"... I see"
Indeed, if an alliance is formed and a betrayal against me is discovered, Leila's alleged loss of credibility from other allies of the Kings of the Passover Realm is certain.
For a party of demonic kings with few allies, that's deadly.
Whether that king can be trusted, not.
External relations must allow it.
... well, let's just say that the king originally pursued his policy quite harmoniously.
Even if it's a belly black, those who stand on top will be more or less belly black, and you can believe it around there.
"... and then the problem is that Leila and En could be in danger as my associates. I'm going to stand around trying not to, and I'm definitely going to protect you guys - but for the sake of if ever, keep this."
That's what I gave you - a necklace (...).
Simple silver chain with transparent, small crystals at its center, with adjustable length specifications at the back.
"Is this...?
"It's a (...) return device to the dungeon (...). The design is a little simple, but, well, it's not a jewelry, so give me a break."
"What... I mean, this is the magic guide to space transfer, right?
"Once."
To the breathtaking Leila, flaunt her shoulders.
This is a silo thing that can be replaced with DP due to the increased level of dungeons.
By flushing and activating magic, you can instantly transfer to a room with a dungeon core - that is, to the True Throne only once.
Think about what happened here, and even in the dungeon (...) I thought about what happened, and I exchanged it before I came to the demon world.
Well, this is the only dungeon I don't know if there's a crisis, but there's no pull around it.
If the enemy tried to attack my home dungeon directly, they'd already set it up before they left so they could detect it.
Ma, there are lils over there, and in the worst case scenario, there's a refi.
Even if it were attacked, I'd say that's the safest place in the world in Beech.
To avoid that, I will stand around with the utmost care.
"... Lord, how do we put this?
"I'll put it on you. Over there.... oh, she's beautiful."
"... n"
When I praise En so much by wrapping a necklace around his neck, En dyes his cheeks just a little red, turns his scarce expression into a form of laughter and makes him happy. Lovely.
En can't use this magic guide when she's back in Sin, but if she can get anthropomorphic and grab the Sin that is still standing next to me with a cloth on it, and then activate the magic guide, it's also possible for her to return home alone.
I'll give it to you, you never crossed it. It's pathetic to discriminate.
The reason why you can't return without grasping the guilt is because if she goes outside her skill range, her skill will be released at will and she will return to her weapon. Perhaps activating the Magic Instrument will have the same result, so we need to transfer every weapon.
By the way, the ornament that En put on that body disappears with her when she returns to the weapon, and she wears it properly when she anthropomorphizes again. Quite a strange phenomenon.
"Shall I put Layla on too?
"Huff, please."
I turned my arm around and wrapped my necklace around Leila's thin, white neck with my back here.
"Mmm, you look great."
"Thank you -. I'll keep that to you, Leffi."
"Hey, wait a minute, that's not what I'm talking about, is it?
"Huff, I'm kidding -"
He smiled mischievously, and Leila said so.
...... stop kidding me like that.
"... and then, yeah. It seems to me that the Demon King may ask for a few more rewards."
"Huh? Really? I think this is good enough."
"... The Demon King has a slight uneven sensation. Could you leave the negotiations around here to me? I'll try to pull out more favourable conditions."
"Uh, oh, okay.... Well, let's ask."
I snorted at Leila, who was in the mood for an arm show.
... so me, feeling uneven?
- The following day, after taking Leila to discuss it again with that king, the following was concluded:
-The King of the Demon Realm faction provides maximum support and asylum to the Demon King Yuki.
-The Kings of the Demon Realm treat Yuki the Demon King as a mercenary.
-The king of the demon kingdom will pay Yuki the wages that have been fixed, even though this time things will be resolved.
I know the first, but treating me the second way as a mercenary means hustling and telling me that I am a hired being.
This makes it possible, even if I stand out, to point Hate's destination toward a party of demonic kings, so that I can move around the fence with less freedom while still waving my power.
When the war broke out, was it the soldiers who actually fought or those who were above them who decided to send soldiers?
The result will be seen from the post-war treatment in the previous World War II.
... Yeah, this, that's it. You should have left it all to Leila from the start.
If you think about it, it's not like I have a special superior head, and Leila's definitely better off on the ground.
After all, people have the right materials.
I learned.
I got one thing smarter.
... Nevertheless, it was quite compelling to watch Leila and the king go on to talk about it in a gruesome tongue battle.
You've been appointed our caretaker, and Hood, who was with you, was already shuddering at the power of the two of us.
"I think Master Yuki should be relied upon to be around a little more -? You always try to work it out on your own."
"...... hmm. Agreed"
Because it's a public place, he calls me by name, not the usual demon king call, and En snorts at Leila, who is so embarrassed.
"Oh, I'm sorry."
I laughed bitterly at the pursuit of the two of them and quipped the glass of the table.
- This is one of those taverns in Lagegiheg, the maze-like capital of the demonic kingdom.
After Layla wrapped up the negotiations, King of Demons Final said, "It's still a little while away for you to help, so enjoy coming under the castle!" So we decided to let your words sweeten us, and this is how we're here for dinner.
The tavern here has ground and second floor seating, and the second floor seating is built like a balcony with a blowout in the center.
From the second floor to the first floor, there are all kinds of plants descending, and from those kinds of plants emerge like balls of light, illuminating the interior apart from the ceiling lights.
It's quite fantastic and has a stylish interior.
On a co-located stage, a small orchestra plays a serene song, and the atmosphere is more like a liquor store, rather than a restaurant.
Well, almost ignoring the orchestra's performance, the gay and noisy hustle sounds like a tavern.
And that's how I was eating dinner with them - and, uh, in the corner of my sight, I see a pair of hoods sitting in one of the upstairs seats, just like us.
When it comes to Hood, it's not Hood and Haloria and their people, it's another stranger. The color of the coat is completely different.
- Especially not that I thought of something. I've seen food all over the city, and I didn't think they were suspicious or anything.
However, I was a little interested in the appearance of those sitting at the desk at the end, hiding their faces in this bright atmosphere.
It was me who activated my analytical skills with that, somehow...
".................. Nell (...)?"
One of the hoods looks back at me.
"! Ooh!?
- The face peeking behind the hood was the church brave Nell (...).
