Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence
Episode 285: The Moderate Fight Back
With the acceptance of the inauguration of the Demon King Forno-Mamon, the number of constituents of the Demon King's Council at this time was six. Moreover, the breakdown is completely divided into two parts: the moderates and the radicals, three each. This situation is still the same as the loss of Broad, the previous Mamon, but if there is only one difference, it means that the Rapids have become one rock.
Until then, the Rapids were divided into Broads who were trying to crumble Detodelion and Leiria from within, who had invaded Leiria and set out to yield with force. And the Dream King, who had the name of Asmodeus, chose only to be in his own interest, and was not on either Detodelion or Broad.
That is now Mikola, with the name of Asmodeus, is entirely Detodelion's subordinate, and the newly obtained forno of Mamon also nominally hits the Detodelions. This means that the will of Detodelion will become the generality of the radicals.
This situation is the purpose of Detodelion and the minimum conditions that have had to be achieved at this meeting. Detodelion, who initially stepped on the hassle of Forno-Mamon's birth, but when I opened the lid, it went through lightly.
It is human beings who cling to greed when things go according to their imagination. Detodelion raises his hand again to come up with a third proposal.
But Sarnarin waited for Detodelion's actions.
"I have another suggestion to make.
"Detodelion, aren't you feeling a little too well?
"What do you mean?
Detodelion returns intimidation to Sarunalin's words, including some intimidation. There should be no problem with the way Detodelion does things because it is oblivious to the rules in the Demon King's Council. But what Sarunarin wanted to say was a different dimension story.
"We've both been giving birth to the Demon King since just now, haven't we?
"What do you mean, say? I follow the rules. There's no problem."
"That's not what I meant. It just doesn't make sense if you report it before you come up with a plan."
"What the hell do you want me to report?
"You've made up your mind about the Leirian invasion."
Shit, Detodelion thought in his heart. Sarunalin's invasion of Leiria is, of course, a raid by the Detodelion faction at the Leirian Magic Games in the meantime. The plan ended up failing, but I haven't reported anything to the other demon kings about it.
Because that could not be weakened by the other side, that is, the demon kings of moderates, by exposing themselves to their own ugliness. But Detodelion didn't know why the moderate demon kings knew about the Leirian invasion. Sure, that invasion was a big one, but within Leiria, where Dacrya's presence has not been made public, it should be treason by Leirian magicians.
"I thought you didn't know? I'm sorry to hear that, but I know the details. And you, Mikola-Asmodeus, infiltrated Leiria to guide you."
"I do want an explanation of the circumstances of the case."
"Right. And I want you to explain Broad's kidnapping of Phoenix."
Description of the circumstances required by the demon kings of the moderates one after the other. But Detodelion is also irrelevant with regard to Broad, and would rather be Forno, who served Broad if he were to give an explanation. But naturally Detodelion, who can't say that, gets stuck in words.
"You rapists have done so much damage on your own."
"If I were you, I'd like you to take responsibility."
The Phoenix kidnapping, and the damage to Dacrea caused by the Leirian invasion, is immeasurable. The same is true of the number of victims, but the responsibility for causing the suspension of the functioning of Dacrea II and for causing distrust of the Demon King is enormous. It is also possible here to demand the resignation of the Demon King from Detodelion.
But Gilanel and the moderate demon kings don't want Detodelion to resign. That's because whatever the shape, it turned out to be the growth of their king, Seyya.
So what the moderates asked for here is to weigh themselves in on the radicals.
"You want me to stop being the Demon King?
"Isn't that just too much to say?
Mikola defending Detodelion, but he is also sometimes asked to fulfil his responsibilities because he is also a party in the Leirian invasion.
"I didn't say anything that far"
"So what do you want me to do?
"Next time you move, pass the Demon King's Council."
"Is that okay with you?
Detodelion listens back the other way because Gilanel's demands are too light. Previously, the moderates wouldn't be surprised if they jumped me in the neck, but if that's okay, I'd appreciate it as a detodelion.
And at the same time, this would mean that the moderates made loans to the radicals. Moreover, now that the Rapids have become one rock, it is also significant for the moderates to have been able to make loans to Detodelion, who leads the Rapids. Naturally, Detodelion understands that. So I decided to weigh myself down getting Gilanel off the Great Demon King's chair at this meeting.
"Okay. Then it's more than that from us rapists."
"Right. Then we'll come up with one suggestion from our moderates."
"Is that a suggestion?
It was Mikola who asked Gillanell to come up with a proposal. Detodelion weighs himself down and says nothing.
"We moderates have discussed and made one decision"
"For the upcoming Dacrya."
"Necessary procedure."
The Detodelions have also found out that the moderates are up to something, but their position is not good enough to say something here.
"I am going to step out of the seat of Lucifer the Great Demon at this moment today"
"What!?
It was Detodelion who raised his voice about it. I couldn't have predicted from the moderates that I would vacate the seat of the Great Demon King Lucifer, so there's no reason for him to be surprised. That's the same with the radical Mikola, whose mouth hasn't been blocked since earlier. The only person with a grin under his armor helmet is Forno, but no one could have seen the look on his face.
"What are you going to do, Gilanel?
"It means the way it is. Now I am powerless to combine Lucifer the Great Demon with Satan."
"Then you can leave Satan vacant."
Detodelion, divided between moderates and radicals, but he appreciates Gillanell's strength. That's why I wasn't convinced that Gillanell would try to throw down the seat of the Great Demon King Lucifer himself.
"As I have said many times, I am acting for the Great Demon King. Not Lucifer's vessel."
"So what does Lucifer do? Are you willing to plunge Dacrea into a vortex of confusion again?
Detodelion loses his chill at the way Gillanell comes out diagonally of his own plan. Perhaps he's the kind of guy who doesn't feel comfortable if things don't go according to his plan.
And of course, I'm not going to involve Dacrea in Gillanell in a vortex of confusion.
"We've already arranged a new Great Demon King on that"
"Strength is real."
"You don't have a problem with your blood muscles."
Moderate demon kings who smell the presence of a new Great Demon King in their mouths. Detodelion looked at them like that and expected the worst.
"Has Keith the Great Demon returned?
"No, it's not"
"But you're not wrong."
"Well, a hundred stories doesn't seem like it at first sight."
That's what Sarunalin says and hands on the door between the moonlights. Then Gillanell and Daldar take their seats, kneeling toward the door, and Salunarin slowly opens the door.
"This is our new king."
"" Become... "
Detodelion and Mikola look stunned when they see who was at the end of the open door. And when Silforno took his helmet, he knelt toward him, just as Gilanel and the others did.
