"Ah, it's a nightmare...!"
Merriam-sama is full and appears as the Demon King.
Starting there, a farce named Battle at Risk of Life.
That was supposed to start...
"~ ~ ~"
Things got extra chaotic because of Kate, as you can see.
No way, here, why are you coming to see who Merriam-sama is?
Rather, the situation itself was a contiguous one that I would not anticipate.
"Heh, heh..."
Merriam-sama will not be back to normal for a while on this street.
In addition to the long-awaited encounter, she saw through the disguise of the Divine Beast and now tapped exactly what she wanted most.
Even then, there is no imposition.
But I didn't want it to happen now.
"Why are you there, Mao"
One room in a basement base.
Mao is there for some reason waiting away from the hall where the operation will take place.
Plus, I have no idea what's going on around the subtle kite and the similarly haired girl's clothing hem.
You're a real demon king.
At hand, Merriam-sama will reveal who she is after this battle.
You also said the magic fixture on Kate's hips is still incomplete...!
Is that it? Was it because you hadn't painted it yet...?
"... mbe"
Oh, you just tongued over here...! You, you're still starving black!!
You little girl...! You look innocent and go that way...!!
"What is that mask in the first place..."
It's in that mask that Kate and the others couldn't move as we thought they would in the first place.
Originally, kite and saira.
Reefa and Nea.
Chisato and Io.
I was supposed to be forced into a less accustomed way of fighting, except for Reefa and Nea.
That was supposed to happen, but that eccentric mask confused me as much as I wanted, and I made a huge mistake in that combination, letting them go to their respective places of battle with the best combination I could think of.
Mostly, what is that mask on Kite?
Burning tiger crest.
It belongs to the Kingdom of Hendil, doesn't it?
For some reason, Merriam, who saw the mark, had a demonic look on her face only for a moment... No, let's forget about that.
70% of this operation was distorted because of that mask.
"... Mr. Iris"
"Ha!?"
Kite is abruptly called by his name when he is delayed in escaping reality.
It was a complete surprise, so he replies with a weird voice, but he doesn't go through it unintentionally and stares straight into his cloudless eyes.
Merriam-sama, no, she's not coming back yet...!
"Mr. Iris, we're not stupid enough to get here."
"Yeah. You're right."
Reefa nods at Kate's words.
"Were you an executive of the Demon King's Army?"
"Yeah, you're right"
"So... I thought about avenging my hometown and I was in the Demon King's Army. But now it's on Meliá."
"That's right. I knew..."
I know Reefa doesn't understand, but Kate is showing an amazing amount of guesswork.
My father must have asked me about my condition.
"Why did you disappear from before us... did you invite Meliá to join the Demon King's Army or to return to the Demon King's Army... no, in this case it would be both. The proof is that she's here now."
"... yeah yeah"
"... you helped us. I still think of you as one of us."
Stop being nice...!
How good would it have been if you had slapped me on the curse......!
Instead, he doesn't know that those kind words are the hardest...! That he's manipulating my conscience right now and letting the mental attack himself...!
"You're not a bad person. So..."
"Mr. Kite, stop it now... Stop hunting down Illis any more...!"
I saw Nia stop.
Palpitations will subside and you will be able to breathe.
Oh, he's still like an incarnation of goodwill...
"Nea, we're talking about something important right now. I'm gonna make you a kid?"
"That threat isn't too scary!? Hey, no, because you're hunting down Illis well, huh? It's a bona fide attack, Sole."
Thanks to Nea here.
If they had said any more, they would have broken my spirit with words alone.
"It's a complete failure."
Looks like Merriam-sama is finally back on her feet.
Laughing furiously, she instantly returns from a gray-haired woman to the silver-haired girl, the usual Merriam-like figure, when she touches her palm in the face.
"Yeah, it's a complete defeat. You're going to go beyond my measures. Dear Kite."
"Where's the real Demon King?"
"Hehe, that's a secret"
Biri, Mao's shoulder trembles.
Saila, the brave man of the kingdom of Vingle, watched that child for only a moment with her eyes sharpened, but she turned to the sheath of Kate without saying anything.
——— She noticed.
I'm sure Merriam-sama realizes it, but she turns her consciousness to conversation with Kate without even worrying about it.
"... Since when did you take over the Demon King's Army? At least after you left that ruin, so I know you weren't working evil in the Demon King's Army.... you don't have to go through all that trouble in the first place, do you?"
"Exactly. I am here, half-elf, negotiated by Illis, and invited to join the Demon King's Army."
"I knew it - Iris..."
... I'm sorry, Nea.
While I apologize to her from the bottom of my heart now, I try not to put it on the table.
"What about the raid on St. Real?"
"I am not involved"
"I believe you. You are not lying. [M]... So you're saying you took over after that?"
"Yeah, lately. Right... when you were visiting the beast of darkness. I held the demon king captive and stood here as a false demon king"
Merriam-sama, who talks so much.
I know it's not about hiding, but what position am I in now?
Is that it, or do you want to continue?
"Oh, it was the god beast of St. Real who built the Demon King's Army, wasn't it?"
!!!?
And I dropped a hell of a bomb!?
Those kites also lose their words to surprise her, who says so with a sunny smile.
"I manipulated from the shadows and tried to raise you, who would soon appear. That's the Demon King's Army."
"... haha... that guy... no, fine. Let's think about that later. Very well."
Touching his forehead to hold the headache, he turns his gaze to Merliah.
"So, what are you going to do from here?"
"Heh, heh"
With a graceful smile, she rises from the throne.
More than her earlier appearance, her facial expression besides kite stretches strongly over the atmosphere far beyond the Demon King.
"As a demon king, I was trying to gauge your power. I will measure your strength and how useful the elephants that follow it can be - I will evaluate them."
"Can't you stop?"
"It's necessary. It's just that we're supposed to fight as this me, not as demon kings, but not that big of a difference."
Kite holds the sheath of her hips and hands on the patterned lime.
Along with that, the Reefers move on to the battlefield.
My role is over, but...
"Wah!?"
"Mao!?"
Manipulate the dirt at Mao's feet and draw it here.
To keep unwanted in their fight out of the way... but hey, seriously don't resist, don't bite!!
"Don't worry, I'll just keep it here for a while. Oh, be prepared. Whatever Kite is, those around him are just elephants to me."
A pattern of scales rises on Merriam-like arms walking forward from the throne.
With it, even scales appear on her cheeks.
"Try not to die"
Battle against the Divine Beast.
Natural disasters of the will that could never happen strip the brave men of their fangs.
