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

The Cathedral stands in the Holy Capital, the Republic of Colden.

In that hall, there was such a raging argument of flying a mouth corner bubble that it could no longer be called a meeting.

"Cardinal Enrico, didn't you order the Holy Knight to pursue the Demon King! That's irrelevant now!

"The facts are irrelevant! What actually set the Demon King on fire was an invasion of the Demon King's Realm! I'm not involved there!

"That's a trick! If the soldiers hadn't gathered, there wouldn't have been an invasion!

"There is one in this who has actually given orders to the soldiers gathered! First, Cardinal Lumead, isn't that the person responsible for awarding the rank to the Holy Knight!

"What the hell does that have to do with anything!? I'm not the one who gave the order!

Outside in the square, the great chorus of "Kill the Demon King" echoes among the refugees.

In the meantime, the Cardinals were desperately pressing each other to blame for the invasion that bought the wrath of the Demon King.

The outcome of this meeting will dramatically change the political progress that follows.

A fierce curse sticks to the high ceiling.

"Zhu Xian should settle down for a moment. Isn't it the earliest Virgin who can govern this situation? As soon as possible, we need to decide on a new high priest to assist the Virgin."

"Then it would be a natural story, me. The convent in which the Virgin lives is under my jurisdiction."

"It can't be better to have such a cheap decision! Now the former high priest did not run the monastery!

"Anyway, I'm pretty sure he had a strong involvement!

"It was because the Virgin was there that he was in the convent...!

The push for responsibility even developed into a story of the appointment of a high priest.

Ragged arguments no longer see the thread of convergence.

Not to mention not emanating from anyone's mouth about the end of the war.

There...

"Excuse me during the meeting!

I rushed into the hall as the festival kicked the hem of a long courtesy dress.

I see it as something I've been running down the long corridor, and I'm badly out of breath.

"Big deal......!

And as he breathed, he said,

"The Virgin is giving a speech alone now!!

"Oh no... such a stupid thing...!!

The Virgin's words are preached for the first time with the aid of a priest.

This was their common perception.

Otherwise, we cannot control the Virgin politically.

But that's what broke it.

"That's not acceptable at the moment! The people are extremely sensitive right now! If you do badly, you can lose sight of the light the Virgin emits!

The Virgin's authority may be lost, that is.

They were most afraid of it.

It's the Virgin who “discovered” it.

I'll have trouble with her if she doesn't stay a Virgin everywhere.

"Make it stop now!!

It was no longer a reverence for the Virgin or anything.

"Impossible! The Great Square is overflowing with the people and not even the Holy Knight can approach the podium......!!

"Oh my god...!

One of the Cardinals slammed the table.

Things were no longer completely out of their reach.

………………

…………

……

It is the refugees who have fled the front line who are raising their voices in the square.

They are shouting at the cathedral as they push each other.

There, a beautiful voice echoed.

'Gentlemen, please calm down...'

I rode Aleira's magic [voice], it's Marie's voice.

Seeing Marie climb onto the podium, the folks raised their voice of joy.

"It's the Virgin! The Virgin is back!

"They came home for us!

Marie's return to the Holy Capital had not yet been communicated to the people.

Marie's appearance to them is just a miracle.

'Please calm your mind and listen to me...'

Marie took a slow, deep breath and waited for the people's voices to subside.

Marie's voice echoed in the quieter large square.

"You all, I will save you. So please bear in mind what you are going to say now '

Marie talks to so many folks that she sees them for the first time.

'I am one of the brave men led by the stars. I will do that. We will remove the threat of the Demon King.'

Wow, I cheered so much.

But it also quiets quickly.

Guys, I don't even want to miss hearing one thing about the Virgin.

………………

Marie's vomiting breath was trembling.

What we're about to say is the most important thing.

Marie opened her mouth.

"Demon King, Keith Aldberg is my friend......"

For one thing, the people went out of their way.

All the people know is that the Virgin was kidnapped by the Demon King.

But Marie continued.

'Because I am a friend, I have a duty to stop him. Please believe me. I will save all of you, the subraces (demihumans) and the demon kings that bind them. So please, don't hate anyone, don't be afraid, wait'

If this was just a politician, he could have been stoned.

Saving the demon king, the enemy of the people.

But there was no such thing as bad faith in the Virgin.

That was all, Marie's words had a deep heart.

'This is your favorite friend's favor. Please be calm and wait for the time when you should come. I will, I promise, try to stop the feud.'

As Marie bowed her head deeply, a big cheer happened.

Everyone raised their voices.

"God sent you!

"May God bless the Virgin!

"Please save us!

Marie turned her back on the folks and stepped off the podium.

Behind the podium, from the outside, is a dead end.

Aleira, who had activated [Voice] there, had refrained.

"Marie, don't slap me so hard!

Alleyra laughed and slapped Marie on the back.

Unexpectedly coughing, Marie answers.

"... I believe in Mr. Keith. Come on, let's go. To Demon King's Castle."

"I don't hate that kind of bravery!

Alleyra chanted the spell and opened the [gate].

"I already say it, because the Demon King has magically forgotten all about Marie! If you say bad things, you might get a terrible look!

In the Abbey dining room, the first time I heard about it, I was surprised - but.

"I know. Whatever happens, I'm going to convince Mr. Keith."

I'm already ready.

Marie crept through the [gate] following Aleira's back.

- Ahead, between the sights of the Demon King's Castle.

In a cold, dark space, Marie stepped in.

"I'm back now!

Aleira's energetic voice echoed across the vast space.

Once Marie came here as one of the brave parties to defeat the previous Demon King.

The same air is flowing now.

It's cool, tingly and stinging.

It was cold air blowing down from the Demon King Keith Aldberg, sitting deeply on the throne.

Next to it, Summoner Deanna refrains.

"Hey you, what are you going to do!?

Deanna, who saw Marie, raised her voice.

"Hi there, here's the thing!

Alleyra reported to Keith.

"Look, demon king! I brought the greatest Virgin in the Holy City! This means the Sacred Capital was successfully destroyed, right?!?

That said, slap Marie on the back again.

Marie glanced and stepped out before the throne.

"... a cleric of the Star Guided Church"

Keith had cold eyes, as if we'd just met.

After all, I'm losing my memory of Marie.

(But that's all like someone else...)

Marie has no idea how big an impact she was having on Keith.

"Mr. Keith......!

Marie looked up and an icy glance came down.

"Who are you?

That's what Aleira told me.

Keith has lost all his memory about Marie.

Still, this word was a shock.

If you look at yourself, you might remember something - there were such pale expectations.

That was smashed.

"You really... you really forgot about me..."

"I should have asked for my name. In the meantime, you have a duty to answer that question."

My body and mind are stained with demon kings.

Marie's heart broke when she saw it, but she still answered with her face up.

"I am Marie Conrad, one of the star-led brave parties"

"I see, brave man."

Keith raised the edge of his mouth and laughed.

"That's a lot early for the birth of a new brave man. Alleyra, what are you going to do with her?

"Yes! Because I'm married!

Hearing Alleyra's words, Keith pinched his eyebrows.

"... I'm still not sure what you're saying. Anyway, Marie Conrad, you're the only one who came to get my neck."

That look on his face when he took his hands off his face seemed to overlap exactly the previous demon king.

Malice and intent to kill.

Rejection and hatred.

It releases an aura that makes this heart scratch.

………………

But Marie didn't cower at it and took another step forward.

"No, you don't!

Staring straight at Keith's dark-stained eyes.

"I'm here to save you..."

So Marie noticed.

Surround yourself, countless signs.

- The smell of the beast.

Summoner Deanna is at the heart of the signs of darkness.

Katsung, and the shoe rang loudly.

"Save the Demon King," he said?

Deanna said in a mocking voice.

"The Demon King is the Supreme One. Absolutely. I wonder who would save you if you were at the height of the world. It is always the Demon King who saves. It is always the Demon King who destroys. And vice versa."

"That's why I was telling you earlier! He said he was married! That solves it all!

As Alleyra turned, Deanna reversed her willow brow.

"Shut up...... alleira quota"

Grrrrrrrr - and the groan of the beast echoed during the sight.
