A Demon Lord’s Tale: Dungeons, Monster Girls, and Heartwarming Bliss

"So, I wonder what they were like."

After the crusade is completed and the rescue of the injured person is completed.

Me and the Dwarf King stood in front of the two corpses in the stadiums where the soldiers immediately rushed in and the wild horses became noisy.

"... if you think about it properly, I used spatial magic to transfer monsters. However, some doubts remain. First of all, if I were to carry this huge monster in space magic, I would need a lot of magic power and a lot of preparation. Look at you, you're stupid, you're not outside the standard, you're going to need a lot more preparation than that."

No, I won't deny it.

"So, now that they've appeared in this stadium, I should have seen that their plan was to summon them here... but they were guarded day and night, watching out for terrorism."

"... you didn't get out of there, did you?"

"Oh, that demon king has his eyes open, it's not easy to outrun him." In addition, we were working on it. If it's a suspicious magic circle or something, even if our guys can't help it, even if it's a match, someone will definitely notice. "

I had enough eyes.

Nevertheless, the transfer magic was activated and the monsters appeared.

Really, suddenly.

"In that case, it looks like someone from my group would be suspicious for the guidance... I did a thorough background check when I hired them first, and I can assure you that there are only good fools here." Besides that, I want you to believe that these guys didn't do it..... "

"I see... well, we all ate dinner when they appeared in the first place." That would make it more suspicious for security, but... there's nothing we can do around here. However, as far as I'm concerned, I think something of the time limit formula may have triggered. "

A time-limited one?

"Ah. I don't know if it will trigger when the conditions are met, or if it will trigger when predetermined, but as far as I can see from the map... as the Demon King, there was no other biological reaction nearby the moment the monsters appeared in the stadium." There was a guard a little further away. But I don't think I would even have to do anything in such a blatantly suspicious situation. "

”... that's right. Depending on the purpose, it might seem like you, but sometimes you're the kind of person who commits the crime. Isn't that right?”

Purpose.

Yes, there must have been some kind of purpose in this one... but what was it?

However, if the purpose is to make it easy to understand, to make someone demand, to assert their existence, etc., would there not be some kind of statement in advance?

Are you going to make a crime statement after this?

Beside me, the Dwarf King resumes the conversation, rubbing his fine mustache.

"There's one more thing that bothers me. ― ― Simple, the strength of a monster. They were strong. At least if it weren't for you, there would be dozens or even hundreds of dead by the time we crushed them. And two of them. How on earth did you prepare it?"

I doubt that, too.

If it wasn't for the power of the Demon King to find and capture monsters - wait.

What if the demon king had the power of a shard?

I was in battle and only saw levels, stats, and skills, so I reactivate my analytical abilities on the corpse.

”... just as I thought.”

In the title column, there is a title.

There is a "Devil King's Vassal (...)".

What that meant was that they were dungeon monsters just like Lil and the others.

... I see, now we know where they came from.

"... look, Lord."

At that time, I was pulled to the bottom of my clothes.

"What? What?"

With a small hand, he sent his gaze in the direction that Enn pointed.

It was in the rubble, but thanks to En, the foreign object (...) could be found immediately - there was a dagger.

But naturally, it wasn't just a dagger, it had a complicated pattern painted on its surface.

Transfer Dagger: Transfers the target to any point at any time based on the amount of magic energy it contains.

Quality: A +

... I see.

Perhaps a national treasure dagger, but it wouldn't be strange if it existed in the Rogald Empire.

Because this is the dungeon.

With a DP catalogue, you can prepare almost anything as long as you have a DP.

There's probably somebody with simple authority to manipulate the dungeons.

And the monsters and the dagger.

It is true that only the emperors from generation to generation have the authority to manipulate the DP catalogue.

I mean, I can't grant that simple authority. When I went to the demon world one day, I said, "... can you do that?" But Shen, who was not the former Emperor Shendra, asked me directly.

I've met him once in my recent busy days, and I talked about it at that time.

Perhaps the first Emperor could be created, but as the Demon King took his place, it seemed that he could no longer do so.

So it was someone from the Emperor generation who prepared it, but did it flow elsewhere?

With a dagger this size, you can hide it in your materials and make things happen even if the culprit isn't nearby.

In fact, this dagger was buried in a pile of materials and pierced into one of them. Exquisitely out of sight.

In this case, it may have been confused at the time of loading.

For the monsters... I don't know, but I'm pretty sure they were only prepared for their dungeon-related abilities.

When I inherited the Rogald Empire, the number of monsters under my command actually increased. These monsters were produced by the former emperor or successive emperors in the DP, and they became mine at the same time that I received the dungeon.

However, I don't intend to increase my pets any more now, and unlike the undead in the Ghost Ship Dungeon, the creatures in this country were usually willing creatures, so I didn't leave everything to the forces of this country called "Monster's Number" to manipulate the monsters.

Even though they were fighting in the war, they were not able to move well by the devil king's plan, but even if they had established a means of keeping the monsters completely under control, they seemed to be quite threatened in the surrounding countries.

The reality was that I was a member of the Demon King's family.

Maybe it was abused this time. Even if you were a member of the Demon King's family, if you were willing to do so, you might show disobedience to me.

Well, these two seemed quite frightened when they saw me, and if they had been lying flat on the ground instantly, they wouldn't have killed me.

"Well found, En."

"... nnh. There was some strange magic power."

When I stroke your pom-pom, I answer with a bit of joy. It's cute.

While I stroke her head, I keep thinking.

― ― Let's summarize the information so far.

First of all, this situation was caused by what became an item in the dungeon.

Since the operation authority of DP is said to have been exercised only by past emperors, it is believed that what the emperor prepared somewhere before was used this time.

You prepared it for the war, but you didn't use it.

Or did it exist for a completely different reason?

You won't be sure if you don't ask the culprit about it, but one thing you can be sure of is that there are [enemies] somewhere that I don't really think about this competition.

And it is likely to be a human being in this country.

I can't say for sure, but it should be difficult to obtain items related to DP and use them without having more power than a certain amount of power in this country.

The public doesn't even know that this is a dungeon.

When I think of the enemy, I think of the human supremacist... but this time, I feel different.

It's not a well-founded thing, but I feel that somehow the mouthpiece is different.

It is unclear what the purpose was, but I think this time it is more computational than before and there is some intention.

Human supremacists, the ones I met in Alicia's kingdom, were very calculative and thoughtful.

Perhaps, he was acting with the aim of increasing the evil feelings of humans towards other races, as in the situation a short while ago, and spreading them.

And that's how I got into such a brilliant situation.

By cooperating with the kings, especially with the full cooperation of the human King Alicia, we managed to bring them to the current situation of low fire, but otherwise it is likely that more fire would have spread.

But... when it came to the rest of them, they were moving for more short-circuiting reasons.

I just don't like other races.

It's just that there are other races.

It's just that other races have taken their jobs away from us.

As a human being, I'm sure it's a shameful thing, but I think it was the idea of human supremacy that was chosen as the gateway to such dissatisfaction.

Behaviors arising from short-circuiting thoughts are still short-circuited.

That's why, if they can get rid of their grievances, that's fine.

If there is one question... why did this happen at this time?

Even though I had a lot of intentions to get in the way of the competition after I ran out here, if I was going to crush it completely, the real competition would have been the most effective.

If I summoned the monsters now, there would have been more chaos and terrible damage.

Nevertheless, why did you take action at such a half-way point?

This incident will make security even tougher in the future, and preparations for the competition will be pursued with even greater enthusiasm.

How much did this action mean to you?

You didn't expect to be crushed, and you thought that you would cause more damage to the stadium?

However, in any case, as I thought earlier, if we were to launch a terrorist attack, there would be other scenarios where it would be more effective - no.

If there had been an incident like this in which countries had gathered and mobilized a large audience, the position of the Rogald Empire would have diminished to the point where it would not have gone anywhere anymore.

This world isn't as sweet as it used to be.

If they're just enemies who can't help their own species, they'll just be crushed.

I won't let you go that far, because this country is mine anymore, but the enemy probably won't think like that.

I was a demon king, but I was also a demon king. At that time, it's not strange to be seen as the side that eats first.

You want to get in the way of the competition, but you didn't want things to get any worse?

So, this time, the guy in this country woke up as expected?

…………

I'll take a look at the map.

The map is very useful.

The most wonderful thing about Demon King's power is that he can do anything by DP, but this will be the next time.

You can keep track of where the enemy is doing right now, and you can see the threat level in detail.

But... this time, it won't work effectively, unless you say it's useless.

Because, if it wasn't for my family, basically everyone else was an intruder.

Intruders and enemies.

Therefore, we cannot search for a specific enemy.

If you say you're asking too much, you're right.

"...... I don't want to. Let's do it with a rope, shall we?"

There's always an enemy out there, anywhere.

This is awesome what you want to do... but you can't lose.

Whatever your intentions, I'll bounce them all back and make the competition a success.
