Demon King of Phantom Thief – a Betrayed Thief Stole the Stats and Skills of the Hero Party Then Reigned Over the World

Everyone, completely filled with meals, slept well in a bed of sharks upstairs.

Eventually, the night dawned, and when I finished all the light breakfasts, I went outside the “tent”.

"Welcome aboard, Demon King"

Joseph prayed and vanished like smoke.

Outside, Zuzuzuzuzuzuzuzu - and the “tent” sink into the ground.

Everyone in the Bandits raised their voices of surprise.

What remains is a land devoid of any philosophy.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you look perfectly well."

Deanna's memory that went down yesterday seems to have flown away somewhere.

"Right. Thank you so much, Deanna."

Keith, from the bottom of his heart, thanked Deanna.

Eat plenty, sleep plenty - what you couldn't do to everyone finally came true.

"As one of the Four Heavens, I did my job for granted."

Deanna thanked her deeply.

"Aleira, to you too. Thank you so much. Without you, there might never have been one and all of us."

Alleyra answers with her red eyes glittering.

"I can't thank you enough, Demon King! I'm glad everyone told me a lot about jokes since then! Humans deserve more than just to feel good and kill them all!

"Ooh..."

Aleira is a pretty suspicious place, but still the interaction between the two and the Aldberg Bandits has gone a lot smoother than I thought.

"That's good to hear. Let me hear it again."

"Sure! And a surprise one!

Alleyra gave a vivid smile that she didn't think was Demonic.

Compared to that, Deanna is really cool.

"Demon King, here you can connect Alleyra's [gate] to Demon King's Castle, but I have one suggestion to make"

Deanna said.

"How about moving around with the Fenrills and looking around at our people?

"Though?

"It's a subrace where humans call it."

Subraces (Demihumans) refer to species with non-human intelligence, such as Dwarf, Kazito, and Kobold.

It is known for its demon king's men, and the area where it lives is also close to Demon King's Castle.

They are all alike and do not want to relate to human beings.

Perhaps that's why we're setting up close to the castle of the Demon King, where humans don't stop by.

That sounds like an interesting story.

Keith had never met a subrace (Demihuman), so he was purely interested.

"Okay, so"

Deanna, who summoned the Fenrills again, told Keith.

"The closest we can get from here is in the elves."

Speaking of elves, they are especially famous for hating humans.

It is also natural, because the beautiful elves of appearance are frequently exposed as prey to the outfits of the slave traders.

Keith is also a former bandit, so I know that story very well.

Of course, the Aldberg Bandits never get their hands on human trafficking or anything.

"Can the inside of an elf accept humans?

"Elves are our people… leaving the Demon King and his family is impossible."

Keith has become a demon king but he's an ex-human, and everyone in the Bandits is a complete human being.

Like Deanna said, can you take it lightly?

(Well, if you can't, let's just think you can't help it)

Keith again, spanning behind Deanna, grabbed her hips.

"Geez! Let's get going…"

Running through the people, out into the meadows, the flock hits and runs.

On the way, take a lunch break and leave again.

Throwing herself into the mountain forest, the wolf herd finally slowed down.

As we pass between the trees, the sky begins to stain blue.

It's evening.

"Demon King"

On the chest, Deanna said.

Say something to our people.

"... right. Aleira, don't do anything."

Keith took control of Aleira, who was about to shake her wand up.

- [Signal perception].

Surrounded. The opponent is on the tree. The number is 24.

[One-eyed glasses of certainty] will tell you about the gear.

As Deanna stroked Fenrill's furrows, the wolf herd stopped.

(This kind of thing is appropriate for a parent...)

With that in mind, Keith shouted.

"Have your bow tucked away!

On purpose, countless voices run overhead.

Eventually there was one response.

It's the voice of a young man.

"You can't let humans through us! Leave me alone!"

That's the word I expected.

Keith shouted as he rode Fenrill.

"You guys! This is me! Do I look human?!?

Keith showed them with his hands wide open to make them turn their attention to the twat on his head.

"If you can see it, do as you please! But be prepared then!

Greater stirring.

That's when a sharp woman's voice echoed from the back of the woods.

"We're going to put the bow away and get right off the tree!

The sound of softly landing on rotten soil sounded one after the other.

What showed up was a young woman to a young man, with a bow.

Elves live long lives, and old doesn't make a difference in appearance.

"... with great disrespect, Demon King"

Moving forward and thanking her was a beautiful woman with shiny hair.

When it comes to differences with humans, it's about the ears sticking out right next to each other.

"But... in awe... the fact that the Demon King was in there momentarily... the..."

The woman looks like she's trying to hide her impatience.

"Sacrifice... I thought you said six months ahead..."

"... Ikenier?

Asking Deanna on the chest, she turned and answered.

"Yeah, it takes sacrifice to increase the number of demons. Our people offer it regularly."

When I saw the elf woman, she secretly bit the crease and looked like she was enduring something.

"You are right... it is our supreme pleasure to be of service to the Demon King, therefore..."

A little trembling, I answer that.

I could see that it wasn't just tremors from fear.

"... no, that's not what I'm doing this time"

Keith said.

"Actually, we're on a journey. I want you to stay one night. That's all I wish for."

With the words, the woman's face glowed like she had risen from the abyss of despair.

"So... was it! I'm in awe! We will treat you as much as we can!

As Keith and the others got off Fenrill, Deanna patted her fingers.

The wolves disappear like smoke.

"Well, I'll show you."

Suddenly his vision opened wide as he swept into the back of the woods, tearing up the overlaid branches.

There are plenty of cabins in the square, which line up regularly to the distance.

Flowers bloom in the garden, and those who are knitting baskets beside them, who are caring for bows, and children who play at the ends of trees wrapped around more than this -.

They stopped at once and saw Keith and the others.

Then the only thing that moved was the parents, who hurried up and held the child up and went inside the cabin.

The rest, just eyeing in fear, look at the line of the Demon King.

You know very well how pointless it is to “flee” in front of the Demon King.

Parents who hid their children just followed their instincts.

"Guys, listen up!

The woman said in a voice that often goes through.

"The Demon King wants a rest in this village! No need for sacrifice tonight!

The elves, who heard the voice, looked uniformly hoarse.

But their expressions still haven't wiped out the color of the tension.

Keith was shown a lot of things about how afraid the Demon King was.

(I didn't know you were so afraid... well, you're sacrificing...)

Ruling over Deanna's people (though) with fear is not what Keith wants.

This is a problem that needs to be addressed.

"Keith, you're really, really great."

My parents whispered.

"Apparently. I'm feeling it right now..."

Keith sighed and answered yes.
