From Mightiest Hero to Demon King (WN)
Brave men will be demon kings.
"What!?"
Yurtus stood up from his chair and shouted. Wine pops out of the glass in your hand and soils your clothes.
Near the capitol of the castle city of Gram.
I was relaxing in my lodging, and Roy's demon showed up. We quickly prepared a different user demon than the one we sent to the End of the Forest and flew in from the Wang capital to report.
The first voice conveys Merdonnay's defeat.
She was stripped of her spear by Gallius and turned into a tree.
"That useless bastard! What do you think I gave you the finest gear for! Damn!"
Yurtus threw the glass on the floor. Shattered and red stains spread on the carpet.
What happened after that?
'The situation is unknown after that because my user demon has also been defeated. We can't even see if Merdonnay is cheap.'
"What did you find out about silly women? Because there are as many of them as there are in Japan. The problem is spears, armor, and information."
'... the spear, of course, but you should also consider the armor to have been in the hands of the enemy. From her personality again, you must have had a hard time washing up what you know.'
"Shit, did they even know about me and your favor, Gift? Ah, already! I'm angry!
Yurtus kicks the table.
'As far as she knows, there won't be much more of a problem. More than that, if we were to be informed of the current situation of the Auga, we would have to avoid passing it on to Pennelei'.
"You'd be pissed. So, it's obvious you're betraying us."
'Given Gallius' previous actions, we cannot deny the possibility of heading to the rescue either. You'll try to pull Pennelei for that. '
"There's no rescue...... Do you want to go that far? I just put it back, it's just alive, I guess. Besides, the countries of the South are far away. Look, Merdonnay wasn't supposed to know, was she? I brought them to the king's capital."
After the occupation of the Wang capital, the treed Auga tribes were secretly moving it.
The outhouse is now built a magic supply system for Roy. The Auga and the captured kingdom soldiers and the general public, as well as the imperial soldiers who lost track of the Zolt case.
"It would be nice to finish it before it comes into contact, but should Pennelay be returned to the King's Capital? I still have a use for it."
Yurtus sits down in a dokah chair and sighs.
"Even so, it's not what I was hearing. Wouldn't the ex-brainer be so strong without a big item? How powerful a weapon did you have?
'No, supposedly the only equipment was Sylphide Dagger. Still, it is a first-class product. By the time my usage demon arrived, Merdonnay was using the grace Gift to seal Gallius' movements. But the wind blade, which I flew in advance, tore my eyes apart and reversed the situation. '
"Did you really fit in during the opponent's surgery? You're a real jerk."
I can't cure my anger for Merdonnay's impudence either, but I can't keep quiet when I get mud painted on my face with just the intention of playing.
"Bring the people from my country. I will ravage the demons against the city state."
'But the countries of the South are not yet stable. If they are absent, there could be civil unrest......'
"I wouldn't have any trouble throwing it away over there. You've almost got the kingdom."
"Even in the sense of consolidating scaffolding in that kingdom, shouldn't we refrain from an impossible expedition?
"You regret not being licked. Let the people of my country go to Galburg, the eastern realm of the kingdom. I'll burn the city state guys over here. [M] We've just been deprived of slavery, so if you say the Demons made their country in the End of the Forest, you'll be blue, I'm sure."
Yurtus changed his mind and laughed asshole.
"Will the King's Capital's defense maintain the status quo? When it comes to gathering soldiers east, there is also no denying the possibility that the nearby lords will return their palms and try to take back the king's capital. And... '
Roy spat out the words heavily.
"There is also a danger that Gallius will assault the King's capital."
"Huh? Why are you suddenly attacking Wang Du?
'If you try him, collecting holy weapons will be a top priority. If Merdonnay tells us about a situation we can't get our hands on, we might try to take action.'
"No, I'm just too worried. How far do you think we are between Wang Du and the End of the Forest? I don't think I'm going to be absent from my country at a time when they just let me out. It's the same over there that I can't get my hands on. If I were in his position, I'd be more comfortable and relaxed because the holy weapon won't be used by the enemy."
'Indeed, yes...'
"That's unusual and weak for you. Pennelley's going that way. If the nobles around you make any disturbing moves, you just have to let her deal with it."
'... I understand'
"Well, at what time shall we tell the people here the story of the Demonic Nation? You'd be surprised."
It was a cowardly yurtus, but two days after that he was a mess.
From the Limullesta of the day, a declaration of statehood was sent to the group of urban states -
After his battle with Merdonnay, Gallius returned to the capital immediately to meet Jizzle with great determination.
Share the information you get and then speak your mind.
On behalf of Limullesta - I told him to stand up to the nation state in a responsible position.
"Whoa! Will you take it!
"Oh. Even so, the implications of the external appeal are strong. I'm an amateur in politics. I want the internal affairs aspect in particular to remain in place."
"? No, well, politics is as good as ever with the congressmen, including Non. but what is an external appeal?
"It became impossible to live in hiding more than the presence of Limullesta was known to Yurtus. So declare statehood and clarify this one's stance. It would be a good restraint if we could say that the representatives of the subhuman kingdom are human."
Jizzle closes his eyes. You seem surprised.
"Unfortunately, I can't quickly wipe away my aversion to people's subordinates. They refuse to be compatible with each other because they look different. I'm already cursed. To break that stereotype, it's effective to show them a reality out of common sense." The Demon King - the Demon King has a people. "
"It's going to be a convenient interpretation."
"Is it manipulated, etc.? Well, that doesn't matter. One of these days, even if you don't want to, you'll know. The demon king is a people, and he eats up people."
"... you think a lot more radical. I don't think so."
"I agree that the ultimate goal is reconciliation. but the beginning really has to come in from hostility. If so, I think we need a 'people-to-people' schematic at the top level. Even if it means disrupting their footsteps."
"Hmm. Because if they do attack us in unison, there won't be one. But isn't that the only weakness?
"Sure. I'm only talking about the overall structure. Separation on the part of the people shall be sought individually. The initial goal is to break between the group of urban states and the empire, and then the local nobles of the kingdom reinforce their distrust of the empire"
"The group of urban states and empires are now negotiating something via King Edgar. So, will we get in the way of it?
"It's impossible to break into a negotiating table. But by clarifying our stance, demonstrating our power, and even making us aware of the outrages of the Empire, there is a way to make us think 'the most hostile is the Empire'. And that leads to saving our compatriots who are still suffering"
"I'm sorry, it's refreshing for Non. What the hell..."
Gallius said clearly.
"Assault the King's Capital"
Jizzle shuddered his spine.
It's too abrupt, absurd - I don't think so. Because Gallius has always worked out the best way to win.
"You're not talking about Zolt, are you?
"Petrified zolts, of course, but there must be Pennelei's people over there"
"Are they treed with spears of curse? But how do you know they're in King's Capital?
"Those who are treed with demon tree spears are used as a magic supply. There is no reason to leave it in the settlement at the back of the mountain. And there are wizards in the king's capital who can accumulate a great deal of magic in them. Definitely."
And Gallius goes on.
"Assuming they're not around, there must be a lot of treed people out there. Someone from the people. Rescue them and have them help hustle and bust the emperor's outrage"
"Oh, my God... let's think about something terrible"
"I said I would show strength, but the impression manipulation needs to be carried out simultaneously that it is only 'a group of people who are unscrupulous for their countrymen' and that it is harmless if they do not touch the reverse scale"
"Hmm. We have to think a lot about disseminating information. So, it's Gallius. Though there are a few challenges in the operation itself that come to mind, I'm sure you'll come up with the solution."
"I do have a lot of concerns. Be careful with your preparation, then you'll need to be quick. But I'll make it work."
Resolved and assured, Jizzle laughed and said.
"Reliable. But don't push me, okay? If you need anything - no, it's not something you need to rely on."
"Oh. I'm counting on you"
We will shake hands with disappointment and fill in the details for the declaration of statehood.
To the lid, the jizzle snapped.
"Hey, it's Gallius. You can always be the Demon King, right?
"From the other side, yes, that's all. I'll be no different."
"Mm-hmm."
By the end of the story, the sun was starting to rise from the Great Mountains to the east -.
Gizzle told me to rest, but Gallius rode back to the town of Boulder on a cro.
Smoke is rising from the cabin at home.
When you open the door,
"Welcome back."
I am greeted by Lilianea with a full grin and often relieved.
"What's going on?
"Oh, no. Sorry, it's just morning."
"You contacted me. Convenient, isn't it?"
Lilianea is in a good mood to prepare breakfast.
Gallius was also drowsy and waited quietly at the table.
(Someone's waiting for me, that's a good thing...)
[incomprehensible]
The moment I thought about it, I was attacked by unspoken terror.
This is the life I wanted.
Happy I finally got it.
But Gallius was now about to let go of that happy life.
(Me, me...? Will I ever be able to remain me?
In the raid on the Wang capital, this hand will be stained with much blood again.
Even after a successful operation, as long as you confront a human race, you repeat the killing.
The same was true of the Brave Age.
But in those days, I was just following orders. The kings and kingdoms themselves have placed the blame on them.
Before this, we will take responsibility for our own decisions and kill many.
Besides, war is not something you do on your own. Many subhumans, their companions, die at their command.
I can't stand it. I'm sure it breaks my heart.
We have to change ourselves to the tool Items just to kill.
So prepared, I decided to be the "demon king".
Let go of my peaceful and happy life. But I wanted to reward everyone who accepted me.
Yet...
(I don't like it. I don't want to let go. I'm scared to let go...)
I think it's selfish. I felt bad that I was a despicable person.
Fluffy, sweet smell blurred my nasal cavity. From behind Gallius, Lilianea softly hugs me.
"Something looks spicy"
……
"Don't hoard a lot, if you need anything - yeah, even if there's nothing, I hope you rely on me"
"Ah..."
"No, well, I'm not much use to you, but you can do enough to listen to me? Talk to me. It'll freshen you up, right? I guess."
Talk...... talk? Do what?
"I..."
"Yeah."
"I'm trying to be the Demon King..."
This alone would not explain it. But Gallius didn't know what to say.
Still, Lilianea puts her strength on the arms she holds.
"Oh well. Then I am the daughter-in-law of the Demon King."
The shock of lightning rushing through his body struck Gallius.
"That's good. There's a gentle demon king. Whoever calls it, Gallius is Gallius."
"I, I..."
"Yes, yes. Sometimes when I'm a little scared, but I'm serious, sweet, and everyone loves Gallius."
Gallius, with a trembling hand, untied her arms tangled in herself.
"Thanks......"
Stand up and hug.
"Ooh... what!?"
As I held him and walked, I laid Lilianea in bed. Make sure you cover it and look straight in the eye.
"Uh, the..................... do you?
"No?
"No, I'm not used to it yet..."
"I've been getting the hang of this lately."
"Oh, yeah. I felt something like that...... not! Garius, aren't you tired? He doesn't seem to be asleep."
"I was sleepy earlier, but now I'm better"
"Where!? But not! It's early in the morning, and breakfast isn't ready yet!
"I'm sorry. I can't stand it anymore."
Gallius puts his face closer.
"Heh... duh, go ahead..."
Lilianea seemed to have noticed, keeping an eye on her...
Shit.
"Yay. Galius, I'm home. - Of?
The door opened, Lippi looked at the two of them, and it solidified.
"Ah..."
"Ah..."
They both solidify on the bed.
Ever since I stared at them like that.
"Sorry to bother you -. Good luck with that."
"Hey, no - no, but wait! Have some breakfast, because of you!
Lilianea dyeing her white skin bright red and shouting under Gallius;
"What? That's wild, isn't it? Even Gallius won't be cured."
Look at the niggly teasing lippies,
"P, hehe, hehe, haha!
Gallius laughed. I laughed from the bottom of my belly.
Oh, yeah.
Even if my heart wears off on the battlefield and I'm stained with darkness...
I have a place to go.
If the loved ones there or the ones they love will be waiting for you with a smile on their face.
- I'm sure I can stand it. I can keep being me.
I can live in peace one day, until that day.
"Duh, what's wrong?
"Sorry, did I interrupt and get angry?
Approximately two decent people, Gallius kept laughing and only fell asleep tired when.
On this day a "Demon King" was born in the End of the Land.
There is a terribly gentle mind, the Demon King, who runs away from the subhumans to wipe away the "devil's prejudice" and smash the walls of men and subspecies.
