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

"Then Rose, as we talked about. I'm gonna ask you to go home to Colden."

Rose looked blatantly disgusted when Keith said so from the top of the throne.

"Also, that falling one, you do it?

"No, let Aleira send you home"

Alleyra's [gate] is destined by the thought of her companion.

If Rose were to designate an unpopular location, Aleira wouldn't even be noticed.

"So, Alleyra, I asked for it"

"Copy that! Bye, Rose. Come here."

Marie nodded gently as Rose glanced at Marie's face.

Seeing that look on his face, Rose gently lets go of Marie's sleeve and heads to Araila, perhaps.

"Don't be scared. It doesn't hurt."

"Ha... yes..."

Aleira chants the spell and [gate] opens.

"Well, let's go"

Marie spoke up when Alleyra pulled Rose's hand.

"Rose, the... because I'm happy right now. So do you."

"... yeah, okay"

You two, I see each other.

Friends, those words were enough.

Rose is sucked into the [gate] with Aleira with the assignment given to her by Keith in her chest.

Marie stared at the remnants of the closed [gate] forever.

(Marie, I guess I'm feeling dreary here too...)

Keith thinks about her friends.

Luca is too young to be my friend, and the Aldberg Bandits will have a slightly different face.

Deanna is not the type to shrink distance from people, and Alleyra is somehow overflying to be my friend.

(Well, that's a challenge later)

When Marie and I met each other, Keith made her smile.

That way, I go back to the serious look.

"I want to see Bishop Llumiere"

"Like Rose...?

"No, he's a politician. I want to get my face up whenever I can. We're going out this way. Or you can't go directly to the Holy City."

"That's... I'm sure it is"

Marie put her finger on every one of them.

If the Demon King and the Virgin suddenly show up, the whole Colden Republic will make a fuss.

"It's too conspicuous in Ginroe. Deanna... not this time."

I'm asking Deanna to take care of Eusha.

There is also the matter of the elf forest, and Eusha is very dangerous in every sense.

Deanna, led by the Four Heavens King, would be the most flexible person to take care of when something happens.

"Alleyra is... good because Marie was there last time, but you're anxious to let her act alone"

The moment he said so, the black vortex appeared again during the glance, and Alleyra appeared from inside.

"I'm home now -! Demon King, what's wrong with me?

"No, Aleira's always fine, talk to me."

"Yes, sir! I'm always bursting. I'm fine.

That's what I said, I show you with a cane with huge eyeballs.

"... if that means they're the only ones"

As Keith conceived, a large door between the glances was knocked.

"Who?"

"It's Joseph. Looks like Viktor and Elada are home, trying to tell you."

"Thank you. Quick, but let me through here."

"I'm in awe"

After a while, Viktor in his usual worn coat and Erada in his traveling outfit appeared during a glance.

"Musketeer (Gunslinger) Viktor… I'm back…"

Viktor immediately knelt down and Elada imitated it as well.

Erada Colette, we're back.

As one of the few people in the demonic kingdom, Elada became an excellent diplomat.

But Keith finds herself uncomfortable with being blamed on Elada.

"Ellada, I'm sorry, but will you stop kneeling? You're... not like the Viktors."

"This is my will. I respect the hand that has converged the Astran Civil War with minimal sacrifice."

Ellada looked up.

There's no such thing as a funny color on that look.

"Well...... then will you at least stop saluting me? I don't know, itchy."

"If that's what you say, let's do it"

Answered that, Ellada continued.

"Astran's political situation is stable. Soon we'll be able to reopen the deal. I think it's good to be static for a while."

"I see. Viktor, Elada, thank you for your hard work. Especially Elada. I would have cared about her position as a demon king."

"No problem. I am aware that there is a job that makes sense because I am human"

"That would help if you said so"

Keith put his fingers together.

"I'm sorry I got here so fast, but I need you guys to go out to diplomacy again"

"Just like I said..."

Viktor drips his head deep.

"I want you to take Bishop Llumiere out to the outskirts of the Republic of Colden, only in secret"

"Even if I say I'm taking him out, I have a lot of means"

Ellada's golden eyes play the light of the chandelier.

She is a former assassin.

I also know a lot about rough ways to do things.

"No, this time it's a favor to you as a diplomat. Bishop Llumiere wants you to treat him only politely"

"I understand. Let's take him as a politician."

While in the Republic of Astran, he was also in his ear about the inner affairs of the Republic of Colden.

Around the time I used the word "politician," I could see that.

"Hit me on the day off for two. You should tarnish your journey."

"That helps"

"I appreciate it..."

The meeting was opened when the prospect of a conversation with Bishop Llumière stood.

………………

…………

……

Two days later, as planned, the Viktors left for the Republic of Colden.

All we have to do is wait to hear from you.

Keith was with Marie and Alleyra, enjoying tea time at the fort.

Take the two to the fort and everyone in the bandits will be delighted.

Also for Marie and Aleira, it would be good to get in touch with humans.

"Sister of the Virgin, would you like some more jam?

"Oh, thank you"

"It tastes better when you add brandy. You want me to add a little something?

"Thanks for your concern, but since you can't drink much alcohol..."

"Ah! I want me! Give it to me!"

To that place, Eusha appeared.

Luca and, of course, Deanna are with us.

Deanna doesn't have a heart or she looks relaxed.

Even though it's hard to just babysit, spiritual fatigue would be considerable, coupled with the fear of when Eusha's powers will appear.

"Deanna, I'm sorry I asked you not to get used to this."

"No… it is the order of the Demon King… Thank you for fulfilling…"

Keith can only smile back at Deanna, who smiles powerlessly.

Looking down at Luca, he looked intrigued into the fort.

"What do you say, Eusha, you're getting along with Deanna and Luca?

"Yeah."

Yusha hugged Keith's sleeve.

Keith is about to spill tea at risk.

"I, I want to play with Keith"

"Right, right."

Until we hear from the Viktors, there's nothing in particular to do.

Keith decided to take Yusha fishing for him.

"Deanna should rest here a little. Pegaton, pour me some tea."

"Aye! You're Deanna's lady next!

"Oh no... don't worry"

"Classy tea is good, but let's have some wild tea time once in a while."

"Ha..."

- Probably, you'll be fine.

I decide to let tired Deanna relax here.

When I borrowed my fishing gear from my parents, I just decided to go out.

By the way, Alleyra is in charge of sourcing food for Demon King Castle, so she has her own fishing pole.

Keith, Marie, Eusha, Aleira and Luca.

Through the wasteland, through the woods, out to Zelig.

"You can do it here."

When she makes the point, Alleyra is feeding the needle quickly.

Next to it, Luca also started working.

"Ah, Luca, not the way you feed!

"No, you're not! This is the Aldberg Bandits!

Luca, too, is confident in fishing.

Aleira gets annoyed when she hears that too.

"Because the Alleyra Qualitator stream is more amazing than that! If this happens, it's a battle!

We were close and started a fishing competition.

"I'm fine, those guys. Has Eusha ever fished?

"Hey Keith. What are you talking about?

I know I've never fished before, but I've never seen a child who doesn't know the fishing itself.

"Catch the needle and catch the fish."

"What's crazy?

Yusha shows it with her neck tied properly.

Seeing that, Keith scratched a tuna.

………………

You don't know who you are or where you're from, Eusha.

And I don't know any kid, I know and I don't know what's natural -.

"A fish is a creature in the water."

Marie told Yusha to teach slowly as she fed her fishing needle.

"Look, something must have jumped over there now, right? That's the fish."

"What do you do when you catch a freak?

"Make it dinner. I'm sure you'll be looking forward to this evening."

"Yeah, okay"

Line up the three of you and let the fishing line drip loosely.

"Yusha, if you stick around too much, you'll get the thread tangled up."

"I want to be by Keith's side."

"Thanks, but let's not be patient during fishing"

"Mmm."

Eusha is dissatisfied and takes only a short distance.

"Oh, it took me"

Marie caught a stunning Himeyurimus and put him in a hanging cage.

Eusha peeks intriguingly into the hanging cage.

A bright orange fish is bouncing.

"Is Marie good at fingerprinting?

"Not that I'm good at it, but you're used to it on your journey."

"A journey?

"It's, uh..."

Marie looks out for Keith.

Eusha was telling me that she was a brave man.

And now Keith is the Demon King.

Can I talk to this kid about his trip to the Demon King's Crusade...

Throwing his gaze, Keith smiled and nodded.

………………

Marie decided to tell Yusha about her journey.

"Right. Actually, me and Mr. Keith were at a brave party. I wore fishing on that journey."

"Keith and Marie have to do the same?

When the two nodded, Yusha's aquamarine eyes shone like river surfaces.

"Stay with me! Yes!"

"Right, together."

Feeding the needle again, Marie drooped the fishing line.

With a very, very complicated look.

"Brave men, it's your job to keep the world at peace."

Staring at the end of the fishing line, Marie said emotionally.

"Keeping the peace of the world and lighting the light of hope in people's hearts. That's not easy because there's so much trouble and sadness in the world. But the important thing is, it's more or less easy. A brave man is a man who stands there."

Yusha is listening seriously to Marie's words, which are pompous and spoken.

Keith, too, was impressed with Marie's words.

"... I was only thinking about everyone in the Bandits."

Small, I told him to whine.

"You never thought about what a brave man is or what he does for a brave man. I was just thinking about my family. I don't have any ambitions, I was a lot less serious than you."

"Oh no...!

Marie panics and follows Keith.

"I think a heart that cares about its family is also important to the brave"

Yusha was also decent.

"Come on?

After all, this girl doesn't know anything.

Sometimes as they caught the fish, Keith and Marie told them what their family was like to hear.

Sometimes it takes a fish on Yusha's pole, and in that case Keith helped.

When the fish could be caught, Eusha hugged Keith with great joy.

When I watched the hanging cage for a while, I talked about my family again.

"Uh, family is..."

Keith doesn't know if Marie, who grew up in a convent, thinks the people she grew up with are family.

I also know very well that I consider everyone in the Aldberg Bandits a family, but that's not normal.

Keith told them what he thought was common family stories.

"Ugh, you have a baby coming. Where does the baby come from?

"It's..."

Keith took it over when Marie was answering.

"The bats are coming."

That's how Keith was deceived by his parents.

Then Yusha smiled brilliantly.

"Then I'll be fuzzy with Keith! Will Marie be hooked up with Keith, too?

"Uh... that... that... that..."

Marie, once again, becomes silent with the prawns.

"And then two bats will come? You know which one's the baby?

When I heard that, Marie's face turned bright red.

Keith panics and explains to Yusha.

"Yusha, it's not until we grow up that we're a couple. Besides, Yusha should have a family too."

"Are you with me?"

"Right...... I think he is"

Keith nearly smiled.

"If Yusha had a family, I'd make sure she sees you."

Pinching the fishing rod with his feet, Keith sneezed Yusha's head and stroked him.

Yusha tickled and laughed.

Viktor and the others contacted me two days after that.
