Dual Life ~Hiru wa Yuusha Party, Yoru wa Maou Gun~

The next day after returning from the werewolf village, Mirage traveled to Demon Castle with Astart. Documents are held in a bundle in Astalt's arm, and the appearance of following the Mirage looks like a secretary. Mirage said he could call it later with transfer magic, but Astalt was stubborn to keep it handy for important documents. The two are heading to a room in the Demon Castle, known as the Throne Room. Mirage usually has an audience in the Devil's own room because it is based on mutual trust, and it is generally performed in the throne between the thrones in a public circle.

"The Four Heavenly Kings, Mirage, the illusionary figure, and Astart, the adjutant.

In front of the door, which is many times the height of Mirage, there are two strong soldiers, perhaps guards guarding the throne. Unlike soldiers the other day, as soon as the soldiers saw the Mirages in a familiar manner, they pulled the handle of the stunningly decorated door and gradually made entrances to the room with a heavy sound. Open. As you enter through the huge door with Mirage and Astalt open, you can see a throne that looks like a throne in the back of the front, and a red carpet of red dyed silk lays down to the front to make a wide path. Has been. In addition, on both sides of the Silk Road, there are many layers of the Demon King's Guard, so powerful that it seems that if any unfamiliar person who harms the Demon King appears, he will definitely eliminate it before that. Was. Mirage and Astalt follow their path calmly, with almost a hundred soldiers and the demons and musicians who seem to be behind them watching over them. At the end of the road, just before the throne, there were already about six men and women standing in front of each other without exchanging words. Among them is Rafal, probably the summit of Shiten and his aide. Mirage stands in the space between Rafale and the petite girl, with Astalt behind. For a while, there was silence in the room, but soon a voice was heard from the entrance informing of the arrival of the Demon King.

"The Devil King Lilith has come!"

A fanfare by a music band resounds in the room following the voice, and Lilith the Devil begins to slowly advance on the carpet. Wearing clothes called kimonos transmitted to the east, holding a folding fan in his hand, walking gracefully while accompanying the attendants, even if you say that it is a princess somewhere rather than a demon king It's not too much to say. Dakki The head is decorated with a hair ornament called a eastern hairpin and flutters the fox's tail, but Mirage thinks that the nine-tailed fox, which is a legend of the east, has transformed. Was. Lilith's extraordinary beauty and bewitchingness, combined with her unbridledness, could certainly be compared to the nine-tailed fox who captivated many men. Everyone in the audience, including the Mirage, is kneeling on the spot, but the masked man secretly made a small gate between his mask and his right eye and peeped peeping. It is. It is transfer magic that originally connects different spaces, but it is natural to see where the gate is connected. However, no one has ever used it this way, rather than being small enough to not notice the surroundings, and even creating a small space between the mask and the eyes, such as magical control ability that is called divine skill I can't do it without it. The masked man started using it just because he was free to wait for the Demon King Lilith to walk slowly, and had previously replaced time for reading by simultaneously transferring his fingertips. It is. Now, since the series of flows that take place between the thrones is formal, it is inevitable that you will get tired if you go many times, but other members of the Demon King's army heard I would definitely be furious. This audience, which gathers the key members of the Demon King's army, including the Four Heavenly Kings, is held annually, and it is said that being called here is an honor. Not only the guards who are guarded, but also the Shitenno and deputy officers, as well as civilians, researchers, and musicians, are some of the best demons among the demons. It is this man who reads in such an honorable place and peeks in to look at the unusual and unusual Demon King as it is now.

"Everyone has come together well.

Lilith, who is in public demon mode, speaks with dignity to those in the room. Everyone stands up without delay, and all gazes are directed under the Demon King on the throne.

"Even the four kings were struggling from a distance. It's hard to see them all together."

Demon King Lilith casts words of labor to the four kings, and the demonic man on the far left begins to say thanks.

"For our Devil King, Lilith, let this cruel Kruell come to you at any time."

Despite his playful exaggeration, his kneeling grace with his golden hair looks like a prince in some country. He is the four heavenly kings who control the southern side of the demons and bundle the demons with rich horns. Although it is the oldest among the four kings, it has given priority to relentlessly attacking the country of humans rather than unification of the demons who are the main members of the Demon King Army, and the evaluation from Devil King Lilith is not very good Absent. However, it is true that the demons in the southern land are gathered together, and since they govern the once degraded land of demons, their ability is real. He is also a terrible man who can be said to have demonstrated its true nature from the treatment of the villages and the captured humans that Kruell attacked and destroyed.

"Raphal, the gale, is already dedicated to the Demon King."

Rafal then grabbed his fist against his chest and thanked Devil King Lilith in an upright position. This is a completely different greeting from Kruell, but this is one of the courtesy of the Ryumon tribe, which is similar to the prostrate of the wolf demons. Although Devil King Lilith has incorporated various cultures and laws into the Demon King's army, of course, there are common senses that differ greatly among races, so they have some flexibility. Even in these official venues, it is allowed to give priority to the rules of the race, and it is true that it is the center that raises the centripetal force. There are uniforms of the Demon King's army that are dressed as Astard, but many demons dressed as tribes. If you do these things in a human country, you may be punished for blasphemy, or else you will be accused of not having common sense, but the manners in the official place are looser and easier for demons I was deeply moved by half-human Mirage.

"Milage of illusion, for the Demon King I will do my best with my life"

Mirage, who doesn't even think of such things as far as her hair, reveres with her hands on her chest reverently. The fact that he is still moving into the hall, despite wearing a humorous mask, is simply a word. Then, the order goes to the last four kings, but not only his deputy secretary behind him, but also everyone in the room had a somewhat worried expression. New Guard soldiers who are ignorant of the circumstances, and those who are participating for the first time seem to have questioned the appearance of such others, but will soon understand why.

"Heavy Bedivia, I'll be called out and jump out! I'm here for the Demon King."

A small girl standing on the right side of Mirage starts waving at Devil King Lilith while bouncing on the spot. It is one head lower than petite Astalt, and at first glance it looks like a small child is frolicking, but from her purple hair she has large black horns protruding. While the devil's horns are twisted like a goat, the horns that extend straight through the heavens are characteristic of the demon's. A sigh is heard from behind the baby girl-Bedivia-probably a lieutenant, and Astalt behind Mirage wrinkles between her eyebrows. It is not natural that her greetings are traditionally passed on to the demons, and she always has this attitude at all times.

"I'm still fine, Bedivia is fine ... I'm fine. I'll now award medal of merit this year."

Despite being in Bedivia's attitude, Devil King Lilith is almost ready to use the wording, but all of her faces are tightened by the words uttered with renewed attention. The reason why the members of the Demon King's army, including the Four Heavens, have come together to receive the medal once a year for the coming years. Despite the great honor of being awarded a nine-level medal for his achievements in the army, of course, Mirage had an uninteresting look under a mask. Originally awarding this medal, if it is a patriarch, it often becomes proof that your own race has been set at a glance and is often given preferential treatment within the demon king's army, and even ordinary demons receive their own salaries And it's also involved in promotion, but for Mirage that's trivial. In the first place, only the genie who is enrolled in the Demon King Army is himself, and if you get a further career, you will be a Demon King later, but of course you are not interested, you want more vacation than salary while increasing your property Mirage thought. It is a very boring award ceremony for such a Mirage, and it is a valuable opportunity for other demons to receive a medal directly from a demon who can not usually contact, so the progress is slow, anyway it is long You are bound by time. In addition, the Mirages and Shitenno will hold a meeting with the Demon King to discuss future policies of the Demon King Army. For Mirage, who had been working all night since he went to negotiating with the werewolf demons, waiting for the award of his medal while fighting drowsiness is no less painful. Although there was an idea that the peeping I mentioned earlier would make me sleepy by seeing the appearance of the rare Demon King Lilith, the effect was instantaneous, and similar exchanges were repeated in front of my eyes Apparently, it seems that the devil is attacking more. Since Mirage's achievements are one or two of the Demon King's army, they will be called last in most cases. In addition, because it is a place that attracts attention because it is in front of the throne where Lilith is located, it was quite impossible to fall asleep.

"Continuing with the announcement of the merit cross small ribbon"

At last the announcement and award of the merit medal at the bottom are over, and it seems that the next announcement has been made, but it is still the second. There are nine stages, including the top special cross, so we have a long way to go. Similarly, Astalto and Rafal, who worked all night and prepared materials and reports for the meeting yesterday, looked calm. If they were pure demons like them, they wouldn't have to sleep for this many days, but Mirage, a half of humans and demons, wouldn't be able to do that. Although less than half the sleep is sufficient compared to humans, the limit of patience is quite close because we have already spent six days all night. The surroundings didn't notice because he didn't know his facial expression, but the battle between Mirage and the Devil gradually became inferior, and when he noticed, he began to travel to the dream world.
