208 Tales: Will the Demon King Pray to God?

"A church... Whatever you say, you're a proper religious city."

Salman, who had come for a walk to the "downstream section" of Sisalis in separate actions from the Elmas, looked up at the building standing in front of him and said:

"You're an old Sisalis church. Even so, this is a relatively newly built one because Sisalism forbade even having a building called the Church"

Answering that voice was the "King of Thieves" Kleilut, who knitted three redheads behind him.

The appearance is like a boy in a light traveling outfit, but from the words he utters, the boys can barely understand each other.

He also insisted in a whisper that the two daggers plugged into that belt could also cope with the rough times.

"You know me well."

Salman turns around to Kleilut and says:

"Well, for once, it's a country where I was invited to be 'one of us. I'll check it out."

"You did."

"Well, this is how I'm visiting you again after I say no."

I say it looks slightly bad, but I'm not sorry.

Salman also talked to this recently joined Kleilut several times on his way to Sisalis.

"You didn't steal anything by the time you got here, did you?

"No way. Neither do I steal unrestrained. When I was chased as the Demon King and desperate to live, I did steal, but I did follow my own policy."

Kleilut raises his hands and insists on cleanliness.

The hand was engraved with a strange surgical pattern.

"Policy, hey"

Salman sees how it goes and puts his arms together.

Then I exhaled with my nose like I was in trouble.

"Well, I don't even claim to be a fornicator,"

Kleilut cleverly shrugged her shoulders with her hands raised.

"As I said before, I hate every beauty. But I don't like dirty people who have been painted with mud and shit and gelo."

"That's a tricky one, King of Thieves."

"The Demon King."

Salman doesn't know what life Kleilut has had.

I didn't mean to hear that, and it was the implicit understanding (rule) of the Union of Demon Kings (Meir Nesaia) that I wouldn't listen to until I said I wanted him to know.

"You must be quite a difficult character, too, huh? - Descendants of the Fist Emperor"

"... sort of"

Salman looks up at the church again.

I rubbed my right arm with my left hand as it was.

――

A voice.

That's 'The Voice of the Devil' that only Salman can hear.

"By the way..."

And Kleilut tells the pretend to change his voice.

"Can I leave those little ones to the murky sharks?

"Ah? Uh... well, he'll be fine"

"The sharks don't seem to be all right, though."

There were three figures a short distance from where they were standing.

The church in front of the two has a small garden spread over the exterior wall transmission.

Several large trees are planted at the garden tip, and the lights of the countless surgical lights offered at the spire tip of the church illuminate the trees slightly.

Just around the shadow of those trees...

"Better than a monkey!" "Takai!

"Mm, Ba, the balance..."

Two tall brunette men and a little girl cleverly riding on that shoulder.

He was two of the Muras sharks who joined the League of Demon Kings at the same time as Kleilut, and Rina, the Water King and Mina, who are always with Salman.

"Oh, don't move too much..."

"Uh" "No!

A murky shark with two girls on her shoulders.

The demon king of the new accession, who hid his eyes with long dark hair and doesn't talk too much from time to time, was also tempted by the twins' haste all this time.

"Thanks to him, my shoulders are getting a lot better."

"Woe to you..."

Kleilut joins hands to see how Salman and the murky shark turn around his shoulders.

"Those little bastards are a fucking finder."

"Son of a bitch finder?

Says Salman now with his neck ringing.

"They don't look so innocent now, but they're crossing a pretty tragic past. It is the path of tragedy because of the Demon King. Because of that, they're very sensitive to people who come to their detriment."

"... I see"

Salman probably has the longest life with the twins.

Once the Demon Kings' Castle in the (White Country) Lemuse - "Star Tree Castle" was assigned a room for the twins, but honestly it wasn't much used.

Because they spent most of their time in Salman's room.

"There have been those who have treated us harmlessly just a few times since we set up our base in Lemuse"

"Well, there was more than us."

Kleilut says deliberately round his eyes.

"Well said."

Salman smiled bitterly and gave it back.

"You didn't even call yours harmful. Anyway, in the meantime, he approached me with a face that didn't even say he was the victim, but strangely, they immediately decided they were the 'enemy'."

When Salman says so, Kleilut comes up with a surprised look this time.

"I don't know how. Is this some kind of operation?

"Ha, can you use such clever maneuvers on those guys? They can actually use the water and ice technique very well, but other basic magic tricks are a tease. Sounds like Lillium's been teaching me to defend myself lately."

"Hmm."

I'm curious about Kleilut.

"- Those children, formerly children of the (...) earth (...) behind the Southern continent"

"Oh, you got it."

Salman frowned and said.

But the expression was somewhat surprising.

"I've only heard a few things. I've been through quite a few things."

shrugging his shoulders again, Kleilut says.

But soon he looked at the twins with a pitiful look on his face.

"Because water is precious over there. I can predict roughly what the man with the title" King of the Water "did there, and what tragedy befell him and became the Demon King."

"You think that's a tragedy?

"I think so. Because I'm the Demon King, too."

"- Right."

The masses are always on their own.

"Broad-eyed, we're part of it."

"I know. That's why I dared to decide to be the Demon King."

A period of silence flowed between them.

"Well, how about it's time to help him? I would have relaxed my shoulders enough."

"Seriously. It's me again."

"I think they're getting tired of sharks, too."

Kleilut grinned and pointed at the sharks.

Lyna and Mina were playing with the long dark hair of a murky shark.

"Uh... I'm glad my hair is short."

"I wonder if I'm in danger too..."

I take my own red hair, which Kleilut knitted into three knitted pieces, and I show a bare gesture of getting lost.

"Shall I cut him?

"Don't worry about it now..."

"Haha, that's too bad"

Salman laughs deliberately.

But his face was unrelenting, a grin directed at his companions.

"Hey, you okay?"

"Shh, I'm sorry." Fist Emperor. Seems a little heavy on me... "

Mullah sharks teasing her hair all she wanted and all over her face her own dark hair say in a weak voice.

"Hey, you guys, come on."

"Uh!" "Then I'll play monkey -!

"So stop calling me that like a toy..."

"Salomotor!" "Salomotor!

"Ha..."

So much so that the two of them also return to their fixed positions.

The weight returned to Salman's shoulder.

"I'll look inside the church for once, so keep quiet, you guys."

"No!" "Why?"

It may be too late, but Salman keeps thinking in his heart.

"Church is a quiet place to pray to God..."

"God?" "What do you do when you pray?"

――

Fu, Salman, Kleilut and Mullah Sharks, who were on the spot, felt their breasts poked.

"... well, I don't expect you to do anything about it"

"These little ones, sometimes you talk about approaching the core,"

"I'm from a tribe that doesn't have a god, so I don't know... there's something I think."

Approximately the innocently shaky girls, the three great men silenced and opened the door of the church.
