Dungeon Defense (WN)

00039 Balfurgis Night

“ ……. ”

I stood still.

At this point, I wanted something to touch to be in my hands. I wasn't clear. I never thought I'd fall for the Andromalius case. I've never heard of a Demon King who values his own kind.

“That whore sat there screaming again. I've never even heard of a hearing. ”

“It has the right to demand a hearing from the tenth place. ”

“Really? ”

“It seems that it's been written for more than 500 years. Pymon, one of the vagrants is dead and he's working hard... ”

The Demon Kings were playing legends.

Think. Let's think.

This was our only chance. I had to make some sense while they were arguing. The reason some Demon Kings oppose the hearing is not because I like it, but because Pymon hates it. It was extremely unlikely that they would help me directly.

Perhaps Barvatos, the eighth Demon King, is trying to calm things down. Marvas, the fifth Demon King, is trying to calm things down. Each one of them is a piece of work at Dungeon Attack. The ninth Pymon represents a relatively favorable horseman to humans, and the eighth Barbato is definitely on a hostile axis to humans. Marvas in fifth place is neutral. Differences between tendencies lead to conflicts here.

Why does Pymon attack me in the first place? It was hard to fathom. Damn, my head was spinning slower than usual because of my low intellectual ability. I desperately thought about all the wrinkles on my face.

‘Maybe Andromelious belongs to Pymon's bloodline. ’

So what I'm saying now is, just to show the impression that your faction values you?

Was Pymon such a great man to play politically? ’

In my head, the answer was no.

Pymon is a stubborn and perverted character. It's a hobby to dress up as a human and go to the human city and hunt men and women. In the game scenario, Pymon's first encounter with the protagonist is also a human city, and surprisingly, the protagonist is found to be the Demon King.

You're the first man I've ever met who hasn't fallen for my beauty since! The concept is persistently attached to the protagonist. Its stickiness means that it is unusual and that it sends an army of monsters without rest.

─ Would it be okay to kiss a girl when she's dying?

She doesn't stop attacking warriors until the moment she dies. The warrior struggles, but eventually kisses Pymon because he can't beat the bitter eyes of the woman. That's the main character's first kiss. Paradoxically, the Demon King won his first kiss in dozens of Harems surrounding the protagonist.

Players once debated whether Pymon was a great virgin or a simple slut. Nevertheless, he had never been outside the top 10 in an all-time Hiro popularity vote, and he and Laura de Farnese were often asked to make it a targetable character.

For the record, I hated Pymon. I got played over twice because of her. I was killed when I was defeated by another Demon King, but the difference was that if I was defeated by Pymon, I would become her sex slave.

‘Pymon is a pervert, but the principle of action is simple. ’

In short, it likes Humans. It imitates Humans. It protects Humans. Even when the relationship between the Horses and Humans was aggravated, Pymon, along with a handful of Demon Kings, refrained from slaughtering indiscriminately.

It was for a very selfish reason that man would lose his entertainment when he perished, but at least he gave the excuse that 'if he enjoyed the slaughter as the Demon King, dignity would disappear.' A woman who treats herself horribly but acts as if she values authority or dignity very much to others. I couldn't help but be a peculiar Demon King.

‘On the other hand, Andromelious typically treats humans as worms. ’

I've made my decision. It is very unlikely that Andromalius belonged to Pymon's bloodline. Thus, Pymon's suggestion to hold a hearing was clearly for another purpose, not for Andromelius. In other words, the goal is not Andromelius, but Nai.

How so?

Did I do something hostile to Pymon? It can't be. ’

This is the first time I've encountered another Demon King in the first place, except for Andromalius. As far as I'm concerned, Andromelius is not at issue. Eventually, Pymon and I couldn't get directly involved. There was no answer. I was frustrated. I felt like I was swimming under the dark ocean like a rays in the deep sea because I didn't know what they meant.

‘Dammit, where the hell... …. ’

It was then. Something small wrapped around my right hand.

I was surprised and turned around. Laffith was looking at me.

“ ……. ”

The two eyes, transparent but firmly shining, gaze at this side without a word. At that moment, I had an amazing experience. It only happens five or six times in a lifetime. Without exaggerating or diminishing anything about what you're feeling, both eyes are saying that I can't help but understand you more concisely and accurately than you understand yourself, and that's why I'm on your side. Without words or expressions or gestures, Lapis spoke like that. There were no misunderstandings because there was no words, there were no over-effects because there was no expression, and only sincerity because there was no gesture.

I lost my urgent heart.

I had a gentle heart instead. It was a kind of gratitude that arose when I met a person who was not even different from the outside, who was also nice to me. The Demon King's ability did not allow him to read other people's emotions. I could have matched my mind with someone else's.

“ ……. ”

Laffith and I faced each other for a moment. In the meantime, people around me were excited. Suddenly, Pymon's attitude made me feel ridiculous. So far, one thought has not evaporated. I was only able to observe the idea from above.

‘Yes. There was only one reason for Pymon to antagonize me. ’

I smiled. Of course, I've only done one thing that stood out to someone. It was easy to understand why you would want to put Andromelious on the spot and put pressure on me if you connected that one action with Pymon's propensity.

The preaching was beginning to be organized among the Demon Kings. Marvas, the fifth Demon King, said in a polite voice.

“Of these, I am the one with the highest sequence. I think I should handle the hearing. I'm worried about what kind of accident will happen if someone with a low rank becomes a facilitator. ”

He glances at Ivar at the Kunkusa Parliament. Ivar bows and apologizes as if to ask forgiveness. The original moderator was Ivar. Marvas heels that he never got over the commotion between the Demon Kings.

I had a different idea.

‘Probably in the Kunkusa Parliament purposely neglected the situation. ’

I quietly asked Lapis.

“Pymon is also in charge of the Kunkusa Council, right? ”

“Yes, Torquel, one of the top executives at the Chamber of Commerce, is the lead. I've seen Dantalian before. ”

“That old Goblin. ”

A month ago, there was a Goblin who came to talk about the plague. He's Pymon's handler. I told her I didn't want to talk to her without going through Lapis, and I didn't expect her to retaliate like this.

Marvas walks into the middle of the ballroom.

“Number nine, I accept the Demon King Pymon's need to govern destruction. This was approved in the name of me, Marvas, in the fifth place. Subject is the Demon King Dantalian in 71st place, inverted. ”

He saw me. It meant I had to get out there, too. I let go of Laffith's hand with grief, and walked away a little nervous and relaxed. I felt Laffith's concern behind my back. You don't have to worry, Lapis.

‘I have never played a game without being thorough enough to apply to NPC in the game. ’

With Marvas between us, Pymon and I face each other. Pymon gives me a perverted smile, but he doesn't mind me smiling this way.

“Pymon has the right to ask questions, and Dantalian has the right to answer them. Considering it's Valpurgis' night, I'll make sure the hearing doesn't go on for long. Therefore, both sides would like to come to the hearing in the form of an immediate answer shorter than a long speech. Which one of you is right? I'll vote on an old tradition. ”

The Demon Kings were slowly gathering around the ballroom. Like the people watching boxing, they came close to us and looked at us alternately with interesting eyes.

“First, I give Pymon the right to ask questions. Ask Pymon a question.”

“Thank you for granting the girl her request. ”

Pymon smiles around. At any given time, it seemed her habit to practice mating. In my right direction, I heard Barbato, who was "Whew, a whore," and the eighth place, grumbled. I've come to realize that only those in the tenth place who spoke loudly since the meeting began were the Demon Monarchs. All the lower ranked Demon Kings were silent.

You must mean he's that scary, even Pymon in front of me.

“I want to check the facts first. ”

Pymon smiles at me. I could see the enemy surging through the snow.

“Dantalian, you killed the Demon King Andromalius in 72nd place before Ahre. Is that correct?”

“That's right.”

I graciously accepted.

“You knew they were the Demon King and you killed them. Right?"

“That's also true. ”

“That means you killed the Demon King, nothing else. Even though you're the Demon King. Ladies and gentlemen of Valpurgis Night, we know better than anyone in the world. The Demon King is a fucking job. ”

Pymon suddenly looks around.

“I don't want to go back to the argument that there is only one personality now. But this is for sure. We have too many" we "in us. It's a mix of me and other people's emotions, so I can't tell who's older and who's who. For us Mages, there is nothing solid enough to call 'me' ―. ”

The silence settled down at the ballroom.

“Therefore, there is nothing to call you. The only pronoun by our name was allowed. It's the Demon King's destiny. As a Demon King, she thinks it's her business to bear. But there's only one exception. There's a Demon King just like us. ”

She stretches her arms out in exaggeration. A gesture like that was natural for her. My posture was very familiar with the speech.

“In this godforsaken world where even the feelings I feel are mine or not, we don't have to worry as much as when we're with another Demon King. Like a normal person, you can feel normal, you can say what you want, you can think what you want. We only feel me when we are together. That's why the Demon King is so precious. ”

Pymon spikes his voice.

“Even if we are hostile, rebellious, and fighting each other, we acknowledge each other. I have to admit, There are only 72 people in the world. Yes, Andromalius was trash among the Demon Lords. Nevertheless, none of us thought about killing Andromalius. Of course! We are the same Demon King, not the same kind of people who fell into this world with the same business. ”

She gestured and quietly stared at me. She no longer hides her enemies. I was vomiting as if to look around me.

“Dantalian, however, was unhesitant in assassinating Andromalius. As a girl, I have to wonder. Is he really part of our Demon King? If you were part of the Demon King, how could you easily kill another Demon King? She's not just an individual, she's not accusing Dantalian. On behalf of the Demon King, there are only 72 people in the world, I'm guessing he is worthy of the Demon King at the beginning. ”

Even the sound of crouching fades away. As everyone breathes and watches us, Pymon insists.

“The girl proposes to put Dantalian in a prison in the Eastern Land forever for 300 years. ”
