I Became the Demon Lord and my Territory is an Uninhabited Island
Episode 175: A Call from a Too Great Person
After returning to Aquamarine for a while, I felt that Rush's expression had become a little softer.
"I'm sorry that only one person returned home. Has anything changed?"
"Well, nothing. And since I came here permanently from the beginning, don't worry."
"Well, are you in the office?"
I'm worried about his relationship with Keith, but it's private so I can't listen to it. Well, I guess Keith spits out without even asking.
While working in the office, there was a pattern on the floor that looked like a transitional magic circle, and someone who had seen before suddenly appeared. Am I transferring like this?
"Hello, Calm. It's been a long time."
"Oh ... took me to Demon Castle! It's been a long time."
I don't even claim myself and I only remember that I'm pretty short. Now I have only this information.
"Somehow, I have a bad feeling,
"Well, will you be able to arrive for a moment?" There is a rumor going on. One person says that he wants to hear a lot about that.
"Isn't it something you did before you knew something?"
"Oh, it's not the back (-)."
"……back?"
What does it mean?
"I'll know everything once I come. Come on."
Saying so with a smile, he activates the transfer magic circle below his feet. I hurriedly left a scribble in a note and entered as I was told.
When it relocates, it's not a small room like a warehouse that had a steel door last time. I came out in front of the big castle gate.
When you go inside, it looks symmetrical, the trees and plants are carefully selected, and it's the first garden that cares about maintenance costs.
"Where are you? Here"
"A castle in a certain royal city. It looks like the king has something to do with Calm."
"Well, why aren't I being called to the royal capital and to the king ... and maybe not ...?"
You probably didn't, maybe, maybe, Maybe.
"Yes, but I was called because I had a story. That's it."
"Hah .... Can I go home?"
"Do you think you'll do that?"
"……I guess"
Rejected with a smile.
"For the time being, you have to listen to the story before you can talk."
What I'm saying is refreshing ...
"Are you tired of having two assistants, the Demon King and the King?"
"I'm not tired at all"
"It's amazing ..."
I have no choice but to be hungry. Let's get away with the worst killing. I wish I could beat the little guy next to me ...
"Because Calm has priority, the audience is waiting for the audience.
Are you serious……. Why is this happening?
"I have a stomach ..."
"I don't need to be nervous."
I'm forced. Suddenly the king ... I'm nervous even when talking to strangers.
As you enter the castle, there are demons dressed and armed with a wide variety of armor all over the fairly wide corridors, halls, etc., and it seems like you can imagine any situation.
He was guided to the inside of the castle, and a double door that was too large was opened by two strong cyclops men pushing each door.
I wonder what a couple of slaves were pushing the four logs sticking out. Is it open every time people come?
"I brought the Demon King Calm."
"Trouble, go down"
The king, who could not see his face, wore a hooded cloak and said that the Demon King had gone down.
Are you intentionally trying to hide your face? I've seen that kind of thing on TV on old days.
Again, there is no sense of incongruity when it is called Demon King. I don't know.
"It's a story that Calm talks to himself, something that no one else can tell. I go to a separate room first, but Calm waits for a while and then comes close."
He got up from the throne, went down the stairs, and opened the door beside the audience, and his subordinate opened the door in a timely manner. What is this, too rapid development. And the king is too freedom.
A person who opened the door from which the king went out installed a simple bowl water clock with a hole, and when it sinks completely,
"Come on,"
A lizardman with a cut on one side and a patch of eyes, a daddy-looking, green skin, is waiting for me in front of the door where the king left.
"Oh, yes!"
For a while, I walked behind a person called my entourage, but noticed something strange. I haven't been checked for weapons.
"Um ... a little bit?"
"what"
"You haven't been tested for possession of weapons. Could it be that you could do any harm?"
"The king is a warrior, somehow stronger than me, and you're magical, meaningless to test, and the report states that you're capable of producing strange black weapons."
When I said halfway, I was interrupted. What kind of king is stronger than this strong aides? This I who put together tens of thousands of soldiers should not be weak! Is it a type that goes to the ground?
"Sure, yes, do you keep them shackled or fettered?"
"If you don't have that, it won't hinder you. Wouldn't the king who would put us all be weak? If it were weak, most of the soldiers in this castle wouldn't recognize it as king."
My idea was right. Was the king the strongest demonic continent? It's so strong, how do you think about how to escape?
I walked lightly, and when I came to the door at the end.
"Do you feel weird? I don't think it would be impossible to kill the King if he did."
That being said, the door can be opened. Do you have no guilty?
He was nervous and went inside, but the king was already sitting, with his elbows folded in front of his mouth and staring at him. Where is the famous father wearing sunglasses? This is good
"Well, are you scared? Well, talk as usual. And it's been a long time."
"What?"
long? How are you doing?
"I can't speak the demons. I'm a stranger who has the Demon King's inscription on her instep, just because she doesn't want to stand out.
"……Yes"
When the Demon King's subordinate is on the King's side, this information will be leaked. What should I do…….
"Do you still notice?"
As he was running away, the king muttered off his hood as if he was talking to himself.
"The Demon King!
"I'm an idiot, concurrent post"
"Both ...?"
Wait a minute ... what do you mean? The king in front of himself said that the Equal Great Demon King. that? What is that? What do you mean?
"Are you still confused? You thought you were smart."
"Well, I think there's a weird scholarship, but the King of the Head, who has a relationship with the aristocrat. The Great Demon, the head of a Demon King who is like us. I always thought that it would be crazy to be assigned to the land of the aristocrats under the control of the king and to be able to like it. That's right. "
"Just the end of the New Year's Festival and the milestone has passed.
"Huh, I see ..."
I don't want to be honest. Why me ...
"If you listen, you can understand, well, listen ... before the hundreds of seasons. Unlike the demons' kings and aristocrats, just a strong man goes around this continent, with a strong man Fighting, winning, and taking pride in being the strongest on the continent, what he thought of was the king of the demons, calling himself the Demon King. After that, he hijacked a large city on a certain continent of a tribe and was rampaging ... "
The Great Demon King pours into a glass by hand from a pitcher containing fruit wine at the table and drinks it in a breath.
"And many skilled people and troops tried, but couldn't defeat them, and as a last resort, summoned some chosen from another world with some protection, After defeating the demon king and challenging with only a few, he was treated as courageous and came to be called a hero. ''
The Great Demon King put a glass in front of me, poured the fruit wine, and continued.
"Then the demonic king apologized for the runaway of the demons and their subordinates, but they went out to the army of the tribe, and more than 10,000 soldiers were dead. In the continent, religious people spread that demons were savage and along with demons, and one day wars broke out between continents, and now the fronts shrank, but the only remnants of those days remained the name of the demon king, We have appointed strong ones as demon kings in various places so that they can go to the battlefield at any time, and they are managed by someone called the Great Demon King.
The story is too fast to say anything. I guess I can't drink it even though I poured pork fruit liquor in this atmosphere.
"The separation of the territory from the aristocracy is actually managed behind the scenes: the monarch king and the great demon have become the same person from the time to be easier to manage, and some nobles know Sole The reason why the Demon King does whatever he wants in a given territory is that nothing is said because even nobles who know nothing have been taught by their parents for generations. It is handled secretly by those who know it, and a new demon king has taken over.
I don't know what it is.
"And there's information you need to know: some of the race's kings, and me and a few of my aides, secretly and regularly meet and talk about each other's situation, The problematic Demon King is killed by the hero who is still being summoned in the form of subjugation, but sometimes the hero is killed. To keep it, and if it collapses, one race will be destroyed. ''
I didn't want to know anything ... Is this also a god's leverage? Hey, are you watching? Come out tonight.
"Is there anything you want to ask?-Tell me if you have one."
"Um, first of all, from the Demon King .... The first self-proclaimed Demon King rampages in a human race town, summons heroes from another world due to Sole. And since the war broke out, such a system was created."
"That's right. Giving a territory and liking it is a matter of giving it a certain amount of power and you can see it's nature, like an ethical test."
Certainly, if you give money or power, you can see the nature to some extent.
"Next. I said to some nobles, what are the criteria?"
"The high rank. Near the front, it is bad if you do not know the system of the demon king and the hero."
"Well, if you break up, are you aware of keeping an ethical and strong person in the territory open-field?-And if you have anything, you're bringing up a good guy who runs away as soon as possible."
"Oh, that's right. If you think it's elite scattered around,"
Something light. That's why even at the forefront base, Muscle King brought his friends.
`` I said secretly secretly, but I met the king of the race several times, cooperated with the brave, and tried to improve one of the tribal nations that was useless. ? "
"Oh, that king? He's a shoreline country, he's been getting defense money from other nations and sending soldiers to this continent. He's disdaining his people, ignoring the pact and summoning heroes. He was not among the few kings who had a secret meeting, but rather nothing was known.Because his daughter was better, he was originally supposed to be excluded, but you and the hero joined hands, We are still living a mysterious thing because the system is getting better and better.Of course, the hero himself has no will to attack and he is focusing on domestic politics, so it will not be treated. I taught that I was meeting secretly. ''
The story is getting bigger. Was that king saved (hub)? It ’s terrifying, since I was a royal guard since childhood.
"So, noble woman who owns the place I was renting out of an uninhabited island, do you know this? It seems that there is intercontinental trade in a port town, but maybe there was a war in the past Was it? "
"I don't know. Indeed, the demons only knew that they existed for the time of the invasion, because they were battlefields in the early generations, but they didn't tell them of the secret meeting. In the first place, in particular, he did not do anything he did or did anything special, only the descendants of the territory when the territory was once a battlefield. "
Did you teach the previous generation? How old is the Great Demon King?
"Well, I don't know if there are any other battlefields, but as a result of my move, some battlefields were temporarily ceasefired.
"Because of the long skirmishes in each country, the frustrations in each other's country are tremendous. I am grateful for processing this before it moves. Despite being sore, the woman paid a huge tax Harassment of picking up and licking shoes to drink certain conditions?
"Well, what do you know? What did Calza say?"
"No, information from a source, this woman (...) never speaks."
This woman? Are you here?
"Um, I mentioned this woman earlier, is there a Karza?"
"Oh, it's my chair for the time being."
"Huh !?"
what did you say? My chair?
"Is it okay ... well, why did you explain the most important secrets and Calm's achievements?"
The Great Demon King kicked the table with fruit wine to the side, and Karza clenched her teeth while lying on all fours, making a sad expression.
Ah, the whole pitcher or glass with fruit liquor is crushed and wasteful. Too strong kick ... I want to escape reality. I don't want to see the scene right in front of me.
"You can speak now!"
"Yes, yes ... thank you for the passion ... the king"
"..."
Stop it, no matter how disgusting he is, he doesn't have the character to be happy to see that sight ...
"What happened. The woman who licked your shoes and gave you shame and humiliation is having similar eyes? What if you swear with dirty words? Maybe a little drunk?
"Ah, no. I didn't really care about that, but rather, I wasn't personally ok if that little fight was avoided and no small grudges left. I'm simplistic. "
"Yes, you're open-hearted. You're a good woman, you can't think of Calm's revenge, but I'm sorry. The guy who hasn't done anything or contributed to this country I did something ridiculous to those who made a lot of contributions. Don't you not know it? Calm, Kore is the order. Take off your shoes and expose the stamp. "
Eh, this is ... pretty bad? you're kidding! ? Absolutely engraved kiss flag, right? Do you use me to give back? forgive me.
"Bleaching"
I don't know where it came from, but with a slight bow, I found a slightly warped, single-edged sword at my throat. too fast.
"Yes, yes--"
I have to reply ... this. I'll never beat you. Isn't the Great Demon King too strong?
I took off my shoes, unwrapped the cloth in place of the socks, and exposed the seal.
"Woman. Crawl up like a dog and approach, kiss the inscription, and this time we've sworn allegiance to both the king and the demon, and we'll do nothing."
"Thank you for your generous care ..."
What did Karza say before I came, and how did this happen? The words are starting to read, and my eyes are dead. The highlight is gone. I think the highlights have disappeared from my eyes.
Well, she's a strong woman. Is Punishment an On Parade of Humiliation?
"Speaking of which, kissing on the instep means servitude. Did you engrave an inscription on the instep in anticipation of this? Are you letting them go? This lover! "
The Great Demon King is nervous. Even the Great Demon King makes jokes, it is valuable. Please do not praise me. I just don't really want to stand out, I didn't mean to let anyone do that, and that's a hobby.
"No, I just don't really want to stand out .... and I'm married before engraving ..."
"Okay. If you want to keep your loyalty to the country and me, just kiss the inscription on Calm. You can only kill someone who is ready to be killed. Did he make him lick his shoes? So he was naturally prepared for this? "
"..."
Calza was silent and regrettable.
"Hey, what about a reply?"
In his usual voice, the Great Demon King stood with his sword in front of Karza's crawling face, and saw that several bangs had fallen to the floor.
"Yes! I was prepared!"
Hey, it's teary eyes. I'm not prepared for it. I'm absolutely terrified!
"Okay, go!"
As the Demon King raised her hips, Karza came close, crawling, and kissed my instep.
The lips were dry or lightly touched.
"Calm, I'm sorry at that time. Please tell me if you have anything. I will do my best to help you ..."
"No, I don't care. I really hope that good friendships will continue. We may borrow money instead of helping us, I promise to give it back. "
This is already. Let's process it clerically. This is work, this is work ... Social service ..., lip service ...
"Thank you for Calm's generosity. I'm a little apprentice.
"Yes, I'm sorry."
Karza stood up, bowed deeply and left.
Oh, my stomach hurts ... Why did this happen. Let's sort it out a little.
Only the high-ranking nobles or near the front know this. And information from a certain source ... My only noble acquaintance is Clavatte, part of the territory has been turned into a battlefield, and I'm very likely to know. Oh, the noble who sold sake is also acquainted.
Is the information leak Fleur? Is Fleur leaking? I have a criminal record and I brought potted plants for communication. Maybe Rush is sending information to Kravate? But I don't want to doubt my relatives. Well, anyone can do it. A Karza servant or husband might be a spy sent by the Great Demon King and sneaking in. If you think so, all of the early islanders are suspicious.
Well, I guess ... I can't help but doubt. What do I do for now?
"Calm, you can go home, and don't do any extra peeking? I guess the identity of the person who gave the information ..."
He warned me, laughing with a laugh.
"Oh, yes……"
My thoughts are being read. It is not suitable for this person in various ways ... I decided to return to the island while thinking about such a thing.
"Excuse me"
Well, when you return to the island, let's return the bread with hot water and eat it ... My stomach really hurts. Why could that subordinate be transferred to the office?
Have you ever been? Have you been invaded?
