In a corner of a rustled church, I was looking down at one demon clan with Grimm.
The name of the demon clan that was in the crate was Nidork Fjord.
Kisses said he was a demonic king who had recently collapsed.
"Oh, um... Mr. Grimm? What are you going to do by letting me meet the wreckage of the Demon King...?
For one thing, I urged Grimm to explain the situation.
The situation now may be very uneven.
No, because it's the demon king's body, isn't it?
You showed me the demon king's body, right?
There's so much suspicion, isn't there?
Speaking of which, there were rumors that the Demon King was assassinated by Needs.
No way...... you're not going to impersonate me for that assassination riot!?
"Wait, don't get me wrong. He is in a state of provisional death, but the Demon King is alive."
"Oh, really...?
Grimm has put in a faint supplementary explanation for me in cold sweat.
"But this art of euthanasia will also be solved in less time"
Is there any inconvenience when it comes to solving the problem of temporary death?
Let me ask you a few more details.
"Grimm. What do you want me to do with this demon king?
I guess that's what you mean about bringing me here.
What the hell are you asked to do?
"Hmm... I want you to hide the Demon King somewhere safe."
"Keep it hidden... because it could even be an assassination?
Whoa.
Give me a break.
Was the assassination talking about the current progression?
"No, it's not"
Grimm has denied it sputterly.
What the...
What a surprise...
But then for what reason do you want me to hide the Demon King?
"Do you know that the Demons are currently preparing for war?
"Well... I've heard stories like that..."
"So what if the war is avoided by your work?
…………
I feel like I just figured out a little bit about what Grimm is thinking right now.
"I mean, you put the Demon King on probation to avoid war...?
"Well guessed and helpful"
Apparently, it was a hit.
I looked at the grimm and made my mouth nibble.
Nidork Fjord, apparently, is the head of the pro-war party.
I guess this is what the Kisses used to say.
"Well, it wasn't me who put the Demon King on probation, it was Needs."
"Needs."
And will the needs of Nidork's son also be involved in this matter?
That means the need sees itself as a war opponent and there will be no doubt about it first.
"Master Needs set up an assassination plot with me to stop Master Nidork's outrage... but... Master Needs only kept Master Nidork on probation."
"... right"
"To have the only flesh parent in my hand... I guess I got hesitant"
Did that need hesitate......
I thought you were just a battle freak, but you had feelings for him like caring for his family, too.
It's a little surprising.
"We can fool our subordinates if we just put them in a state of provisional death, but if we even round up those who can see through it. And put the impostor of Lord Nidork's body in a coffin, and I brought the real thing here. In the meantime, Master Needs was steadily preparing to reign in the Demon King. Around tomorrow we will announce the official funeral of Lord Nidork and the schedule of Needs-like reign ceremonies."
"But if the predecessor demon king who was supposed to have died here were found alive, the plan for his needs would collapse... so what?"
"Exactly. That's why I need your help."
"I know more or less what happened."
If it's true, it's probably the best way to avoid war that you kill Nidork, the demon king.
But I couldn't do that for my needs.
So Nice decided to put Nidork in a state of provisional death and deceive his subordinates.
I guess it was a bitter measure, but that seems to be working so far, until rumors spread that the Demon King had collapsed to the people in the alley as well.
To sum up what we're talking about, is this the place?
"So, how long exactly does that concealment refer to?
"The fact that Master Nidork is alive, if I'm honest, is a matter of shortage for me. I'm sorry I can't answer your question right now..."
Well... it seems that Needs was planning to assassinate the Demon King.
Can't Grimm answer also if she says she has no choice?
"But I will definitely give you an answer soon. Until then, we want you to spend time in a place where there is no demonic breath for Master Nidork."
"So you're saying we're taking the Demon King out of town with our hands?
"Don't be."
If it were normal, I'd put in a scratch, 'Don't be lame,' but I have an item box.
I'm not sure if I don't actually put it in, but maybe one Demon King will have enough critical capacity.
So it's not that hard to get a demon king out of town in a state of provisional death.
Besides, if the Grimes really aren't going to come to a long conclusion, you just have to keep the Demon King inside the item box.
This is only a last resort, but if you think you can do that, it also lowers the hurdle of your feelings about hiding some of it.
"We can't create collaborators within the Muggles and Demons on this matter. Besides, there were limits to what I was free to do, too. Please, why don't you take it on?
Grimm kept her head down on me.
(It's Sin. I agree with him on this one)
Cross, too.
Well, I didn't think you had to ask if you wanted to be a part of avoiding war.
... Damn.
I can't help it.
"If that's the case, I'll give you a hand too."
"Ho, is that true!
"Oh, I don't want you to go to war either."
"Oh...... again, there was no madness in my eyes......!
"Whoops..."
Grimm grabbed my hands and shook them out with a boom.
I know you're happy, but it hurts, so I want you to just get your hands off me.
You seem to be quite old, but you're a great idiot.
"But what are you going to say to your needs? Maybe he thinks I'm the enemy.
Needs has a past where you fought me and lost.
If I had that thing at my roots, I might not take the choice of leaving my parents with me.
"To Master Needs, I'll tell him from me. So if it mattered, I'd give my neck to Needs-like."
"Ooh......"
It's a big responsibility, me.
I can also say that I don't care if Grimm's neck flies physically or not, but that it will because of me is going to make me sick to sleep.
Maybe a little too cheap...
"... are you sure you want to say that? For once, I was supposed to be your enemy."
"I trust you. Once upon a time you crossed your fists as an enemy, but you were always dedicated to averting war."
"Right...... ok"
I kind of understood why Grimm trusted me.
Mendow, do you want me to take it on?
But before we do, we need to talk to Kiss and the others.
"Do you mind if I let my people know about this and ask them to cooperate?
"Fine. But I'll ask the Demons to keep it a secret."
I got permission from Grimm and decided to go back to the inn and call the Kisses here.
That's how I explained the situation to the Kisses.
Then, Kiss and I were surprised at the beginning, but they understood that this would avert the war and showed their willingness to cooperate with us happily.
Then we first moved the crate containing the demon king's body to the inn.
It was easy work because it was possible to carry in the item box.
Instead, the crate and demon king were almost full inside my item box, but that would be nice because it's sort of temporary.
By this came the Demon King to a room in the Inn that the Kisses were renting.
I don't know how long the hell we need to hide it, but, well, we'll figure it out.
