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

Colden Republic.

The monastery, built near the cathedral, was gradually regaining its daily livelihood.

It was not a shock at the time of the Sisters because the Virgin was taken away and was to marry the Demon King at the end of the citation.

But then again, the Virgin returned to Colden and let her wave from the center of the parade.

That had eased their confusion to some extent, and the hostility towards the Demon King that they all had was healing.

But some of them are not convinced by it.

Virgin - Marie's friend, Sister Rose, was one of them.

Losing her role as Marie's caregiver, she's out cleaning and laundry as before again.

Sometimes you get out of the monastery and try buying and eating in the city.

While eating that skewer fried in a small park, it reminds me of my friends.

(I wonder what Marie is doing now...)

Rose, who's been in the convent for a long time, doesn't even know what's out of town.

I couldn't imagine anything about the demonic kingdom.

What kind of place is it, and what kind of treatment is Marie getting there...

Thinking about the irregularities like that, Rose wiped her sauced mouth with a handkerchief and went back to the convent.

When I return to my room, I quickly change into monastic clothes and leave to take in the laundry.

It was a beautiful day, so the sheets would be dry and crunchy.

Rose wears sandals to get out into the courtyard.

Unchanged routine.

That suddenly - literally collapsed from under my feet.

The moment Rose tried to go out to the yard in her sandals, what she saw at her feet was a big black hole.

Rose wore a skirt of monastic clothing and fell into a big hole, no matter how deep it was.

(What's this? Vertigo? Am I, am I feeling sick?

Fall, fall, fall...

(No, my head is working properly. I can also say today's date......)

Look into your palm, and then, under your feet.

In that distance, I could see the gray ground.

Far, far too far away.

(If I hit that ground, I'd be dead!

The moment she thought so, Rose felt the flutter and the power to lift her body.

Fluffy, fluffy, descending towards the gray ground.

The circular ground gradually grows -.

At that moment when I finally got out of the black hole, the power to lift my body disappeared all the time.

Rose put her butt on the gray floor.

"I said..."

Looking around rubbing his butt, it was a room with high ceilings, painted in darkness.

That's terribly wide, too.

The first thing I saw was a huge portal, and Rose slowly turned around looking at the walls and ceilings.

I was there because...

"Marie......!!

"Long time no see, Rose"

Marie was wearing a black dress, like when she saw it at the parade.

Pepper pulls Rose's hand sitting on the floor and makes him stand up.

"What the hell is this place..."

"Though you may not believe it"

The man's voice echoed.

When I looked up unexpectedly, there was a shadow looking down at Rose from the throne.

In a vicious tuna on both sides of your head, a pitch-black cloak...

You can't be wrong to look at it.

"Demon King......!!

"Yes, and this is my castle. I would have liked to invite you a little more elegantly if I could... Alleyra, couldn't there have been any better ways?

The woman, wearing a black hat and a fancy dress, laughed toward the throne.

"I thought this would be the case with a human opponent!

"Let's think some more next time"

"Copy that!

"And, well, that's why"

The Demon King looked down at Rose.

"It's in this shape... but we welcome you"

There's no way you can honestly say that to me.

Rose stuck to Marie's arm unexpectedly.

"Marie... haven't you seen anything terrible?

Asked so, Marie nodded with a calm face like she once did when she ate fried skewers in the park.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Me too, and of course you too."

Just because they say so, Rose is not flexible enough to forgive her heart to the demon king opponent.

When I was a young child, I grew up confronted with that demon king when he heard it was a terrible evil.

Strength enters the arm clinging to Marie.

On the other hand, from the feet, it feels like the force is being sucked off the ground.

The floor staring from the black hole was gray, but the floor now illuminated by the chandelier was black to symbolize the viciousness of the Demon King.

It was the Demon King who took away my friend, Marie.

But I don't have the courage to stare directly at you.

So Rose stared at the black floor.

"Don't be so hard on me."

That's what the Demon King said, but the physical tremor never stops.

Rose took the utmost courage and squeezed her words.

"Are you going to kill me...?

………………

Looking up at the rough throne, the Demon King looked like he was still thinking of something.

And when I accidentally turned my expression into something vicious, I held up the edge of my mouth and looked down at Rose.

"What if it is? What can you do?

…………

Rose accidentally laid her eyes on the floor again.

Some sort of ritual, show it to me.

Really, are you trying to get killed...

It was Marie who raised her voice there.

"Mr. Keith! Rose is my friend..."

Rose, staring at the floor and shivering, could not see the Demon King putting his finger on his mouth more.

So I assumed that Marie interrupted the words also because of the Demon King's frightening intimidation.

(Marie lives in such a horrible place...)

Rose was also afraid to die, but her friends weren't pathetic.

It is sad that the temperature comes from the back of a black dress dyed by the colors of the Demon King.

"I'll tell you one thing you can do."

The voice of the Demon King echoes in the Great Hall.

"It's about answering questions. That's all. I called you for that. When I go out, I make a fuss."

Rose shuddered, but stomped and nodded.

………………

Keith, on the other hand, was heartbroken to see how Rose was not dominated by fear, even as he objected to the Demon King.

You can't seem to scare me too much to say anything, and I have trouble being told all the hectic and ear-hearing things.

Now, the words of the messengers of the Kingdom of Tristram and the Republic of Colden are foolish and unworthy of credibility.

What is needed to make the truth speak is outright hostility and a strong heart that is not swallowed by it.

Rose definitely had those two, Keith felt.

Pathetic, but good manners.

That's how Keith makes him look like the evil leader again.

"I want you to let me know what my reputation is like in Colden. What I want to hear is an honest opinion. Just because you're offended doesn't mean you're gonna snap your neck."

Rose stares at Marie's face unexpectedly.

Marie snorted.

………………

Rose thought through and turned her gaze over the throne.

If you defy me here, I may not be the only one who gets a terrible look.

My dear friend, he might get hurt.

My heart alone is to stand up to the Demon King.

And let's tell the truth.

I would never be in a good mood.

Rose was so determined.

"Some people don't approve of marrying you and Marie... the conservatives and nobles of the church"

"You mean Marie's speech was futile"

"... No, I didn't."

Rose punctuated the words.

I feel the animosity toward the Demon King and my feelings toward Marie twist oddly.

Still, I have to say what I have to say.

"Marie's speech made sense. It was because of Marie's words that everyone's mind moved away from the Conservatives. Sometimes the great priest was the center of it..."

It was the demon king who killed the high priest.

I want to believe Marie's words myself, but my distrust of the Demon King will not go away.

Rose's heart could also be described as the Colden Republic itself.

"I see. When it comes to targeting my life, you do it with that conservative. Are there any rumors of that?

"... I won't ask"

The Eusha thing, it seems, is still not a peeve thing.

Keith tried to bump into the next question.

"So what's happening to people who are friendly with me now?

"It's..."

Rose sorts out rumors about going to and from the monastery in her head.

"With conservatives losing their power, it was Bishop Llumière who began to stand out as the central innovator. Bishop Llumière is familiar with money and is called a vault number. That's why I'm so popular with merchants."

The Republic of Colden has many merchants to acquire foreign currency from pilgrims due to the nature of having the Holy Capital of the Church.

It means that a man named Bishop Llumiere has a powerful back shield from the general public.

"Some people hate Bishop Llumiere because he clearly says that money matters. But I still can't resist. Because we all know what's wrong with the donation."

In other words, Bishop Llumiere is a thorough utilitarian.

But “money saves people” is too blatant for the clergy to say.

It must be natural that there are those who rebel.

"But most of all, I hate Bishop Llumiere because he's a nobleman with money. Although I'm not sure about this."

"Hmm..."

Keith put his finger on the forehead.

If you are a rich nobleman living in the Republic of Colden, then naturally your contribution to the Church will be enormous.

So what the nobles get is a personage critique of being a believing seriousness, and a voice.

But.

Problems must arise if we put this in line with the utilitarians listed by Bishop Llumière.

Perhaps any money, in the utilitarian of Bishop Llumière, is just a tool.

The nobles dedicate an instrument called gold to the Church, and the idea of gaining social trust becomes all too blatant.

What is really needed for the nobles is a leader who speaks clean.

The more sacred the donations become in that way, the greater the prestige of the nobles.

Perhaps Bishop Llumiere means that he is too forthright.

Keith thought this far.

The nickname vault number.

And I can see from this candor, one possibility...

"Doesn't the man want a deal with the demon kingdom?

"... there are rumors like that."

Probably not running as a good rumor.

From Rose's words, such an atmosphere was heard.

Demonic kingdoms are untouched for most humans.

But it is known that huge rare ore is sleeping.

That's why the Cathedral Church sends in the brave.

(It was the Kingdom of Tristrum that did it peacefully, so it's a safe number, so it boils the business)

In other words, pro-Demon Kings.

It's Keith's long-awaited force.

(Bishop Llumiere...... that doesn't sound bad to see you. keep that as secret as possible, too)

If the contact with the Demon King has discredited Bishop Llumiere, there will be no ex or son.

The subtle relationship between the Colden Republic and the Demonic Kingdom is as precarious as Rose's trembling voice.

"Thanks for everything, Rose"

"... you're welcome"

Rose looked anxious and saw Marie.

Were you really right about what you did?

Isn't he a traitor who leaked information about his country to the Demon King?

If this goes around and the Colden Republic gets caught up in another vortex of confusion...

But Marie nodded gently, as there was no need to worry about that.

I don't trust the Demon King, but Marie - only Marie can be believed on this occasion.

It's important, because we're friends.

"Rose."

Rose trembled at the words of the sudden demon king, but his voice sounded somewhere gentle.

It wasn't until just now.

Rose looks up again, roughly on the throne.

The Demon King had a soft smile on his face.

"I'm sorry I did something to try"

I said that and looked down at Rose, and it wasn't as intimidating as it was earlier.

The Demon King glances at Marie, who nods softly.

I even saw deep trust there.

"I let you use your hostility. I was going to be honest with you about everything. You scared me."

I'm not scared.

Rose stomped her feet, about to tremble, with force on her thumb.

The Demon King's smile deepened.

"Good for you, Rose. Actually, there's one thing I need you to do."

I wonder what this man in front of me is going to let himself do.

Rose waited for the words to go on and swallowed the knob from.
