I Favor the Villainess

"Give me Claire-François.Otherwise, I will destroy the nations of the world one by one every day. "

The Demon King made an outrageous statement.

But given his powerful powers, I know it's not Yota's story.

But how many people can take this in real life?

In the first place, most people in this world don't know the existence of a demon king.

When I wondered, the Demon King said even more outrageous things.

Let me show you one thing to help people who don't know me.This is the mountain in Bauer. "

There was a visual link in my head.

All I could see was Mt. Sassal.

The majestic figure, which is said to exceed 4,000 meters in altitude, overwhelms those who see.

Is it the magic of the Magic King that is showing this?

Look closely.

Then the ground rang from the east.

"...?!?

The video was switched and blue waves were seen loosening from the Imperial Capital Room.

It jumped far over the border with Bauer and hit Mount Sassar directly on the side of the mountain.

The sound of the ground trembles and shakes the building, and at the same time the temperature drops sharply.

Everybody lays down on the ground and defends their heads.

The earthquake lasted a few minutes.

"Hey... this is a tough joke."

As soon as the earthquake subsided, I heard Rod's dazed voice.

It propagated quickly to everyone on the spot.

It's not impossible.

The sight we saw was so shocking.

The waves released by the Demon King had made Mount Sassar ice pickle.

I understand reason.

I'm sure it's a water attribute attack magic absolute zero.

It is the magic of super aptitude that instantly freezes objects.

But there's an absurd story that the subject is a huge volcano hundreds of kilometers away.

At least it's impossible for me to stand up.

The composition is upside down, but now it's not a melazoma, it's a mela - I feel like I've experienced it in real life.

You can see that what I'm saying is not a lie.I repeat, I have the power to destroy mankind. "

A pale, emotionless voice continues.

Let's give him two weeks' grace.Please bring Claire-François to the Imperial Capital Room of the Nar Empire by then.Here's what she looks like. "

The video switched again and Claire's appearance was projected.

Looks like a nomination arrangement.

In fact, there is no doubt that it is itself.

"I seek the wise judgment of leaders in every country."

That's the end of the story.

The top responders in each country reacted quickly.

"Hilda, get ready for an urgent conversation for the people!

"Immediately!"

Philline quickly sent instructions to Hilda.

He jumped out of his seat like Hilda had been hit.

"Go back to Bauer, Sein.The people of Bauer must have seen it live.It'll be a panic. "

"... but fighting the Demon King..."

His Majesty looked reluctant at Rod's proposal.

"I don't know what to say, but if you've been away from battle for a long time, then I think you can fight the Demon King."

"... mmm"

"Can you leave this to Brother Rod and me?

Yu urges His Majesty Sein, who is patrolling, to face reality.

"Sire Sein. Your Majesty has only one thing you can do.You are greatly trusted by the people.Please calm Bauer down. "

"... okay.The country's policy towards the Devil King is up to you, Yu.Dollar, come with me. "

"Yes, sir."

That said, His Majesty Sein and Master Dol also left the table early.

"Manalia, what are you going to do?

His Majesty William asked.

"I'll stay.It's a miso in front of me, but I'm sure I'll be needed in Demon Kings.I'm worried about Seth, but it's a matter of priority. "

Manaria replied that she had no choice but to believe in the royal family and nobles who had left Susie behind.

"What are you going to do?

"Me? That's right.If I decide what to do with the Demon King, I will return to Appalachia. "

His Majesty, William, said that I was a good fighter.

Even at this time, he doesn't stop acting like a fool.

Or maybe he's trying to loosen up this air right now.

"The question is, how do you respond to the demon king's demands?"

The words of Misha made us all squirm.

I opened my mouth in a hurry.

"Nothing, right?I can't accept that. "

Responding to the Demon King's request means offering Claire.

There's no way you can do that.

"Ray, it's not that easy."

"Dear Claire...."

"People here will think the same as you do.But you think you can easily convince people all over the world who saw that footage?

I got stuck in words.

That was definitely a shocking video.

There is a sense of existence in the nature of mountains.

Slowly, just being there overwhelms people.

Not to mention that Mount Sassar is a large volcano.

In an instant, the Demon King turned it into an ice pickle.

It is a profession that is completely unrecognized.

How many people will have the courage to confront the threat from a possible existence?

"But then, does Claire intend to go to the Demon King with great care!?You know they'll kill you!?

It's no joke that Claire will be sacrificed.

In the first place, if Claire is killed, mankind is truly finished.

The Demon King has not yet destroyed mankind because Claire is in the loop.

"If that's how it's gonna be, let's run away!I will serve you everywhere. "

"Where the hell are you going?I'm sure the conversation has spread all over the world.There's no place to escape, is there?

That's what Claire laughed at.

I wondered if Claire had demonstrated self-sacrifice again.

But...

"Don't look like that, Ray.I'm not gonna die anyway, am I?

"Eh...?

Claire's smile had no color of abstention.

Rather, it was a feeling of full willingness to fight.

"Ray, this time I will fulfill my promise to you."

"Promise...?

"One day I made a vow of rebellion during the revolution.Never give up - you promised, didn't you?

"Ah...."

A promise I made in two matches.

Claire says now is the time to fulfill her vow to God that she will never give up.

"Dear Claire...."

"There must be a way.It's not like a dog dies. "

Yes!

"Hey, Ray! In this place... hahhhhhhhhhh!

I embraced Claire with joy.

Claire is with me.

"Ahahah. I'm relieved.If you guys aren't broken, it's okay. "

"Master Rod...."

"No matter how much I want to help you, there's nothing I can do if you guys break up."

"Can you help me?

"Oh, I just got a reason to shoot me with the Devil."

"What's that?

When I hugged Claire and asked,

"I did a sassar volcano.That mountain of my father's vengeance.I was just about to twist it down. "

A complicated color appeared on Rod-sama's face.

It was an unusual expression for Rod-sama, who was always happy.

"Master Rod... how long have you been hugging me!?

Er, a little bit more...

"Ahahah!

Rod laughed at me, and after I fully enjoyed Claire, I released her body.

"Already.... But I don't know what's going on...As it is, it will be difficult to persuade onee-sama and the top of the country. "

"That's right...."

Apart from whether or not Manaria was satisfied with the beginning of things in time, I understand that Claire will end up in the hands of the demons.

But how do you explain it to ordinary people?

It is extremely difficult to do without the virtual reality used by time.

I'm worried about you two.

"Can I help you?

There was a call for help.

"Time....."

"We may be able to persuade people under the authority of the Spirit Church."

As always, Lily's possession of time suggested such a thing.

Well, that's certainly possible.

The Spiritual Church is the largest religious force in the world with a worldwide membership.

As a result of many years of continuous activities such as rescuing the poor and providing medical care, it is now more of a spiritual place for the people.

The Spiritual Church has always tried to live with the people, while governments are somewhat above the clouds for the people.

If they say that, maybe people will listen.

"But it's hard, right?The deadline is only two weeks away.How do you convince the people of the world by then?

"I'm going to use a memento.Like the Demon King, the whole world. "

Time said our system has that much power, too.

"Of course, Lily Lillium, who was one of the cardinals, and Yu Bauer, who is only known to Bauer, won't be persuasive."

"That's for sure....."

"Ah, so you want to show everyone the virtual reality you just saw?

I thought maybe.

"I can't do that.The truth of this world will be difficult for the general public to understand, and some will experience rebellion when it is understood.Worst case scenario, Ray-Taylor. "

Time said it was too dangerous.

Indeed, the fact that this world is looping is not readily understandable.

If I understand that, I'm the one trying to end the loop privately - technically not.

Even if I was told to take responsibility, there is nothing I can do about it, and this is not the case now.

"So what do we do?

Time answered Claire's question.

"I give the floor to Pope Clarice-Lepete III.She's also the one who knows the truth about the world. "
