"Hey, are you sure it's this way?

"No doubt. At least there is a Behemoth somewhere in this castle. I can feel his signs, no doubt about it."

"I see. Well, if you say so, I'm sure, but you often go the wrong way ~"

"Well, that's because the city of Candles is so messy that it's easy to get lost! Don't you dare bring old stories to the news!

On the other hand, the time goes back to the circumstances behind the meeting between Kyo and the Imperial Brave.

There, Farvnir the Demon King and Keiji the Ice Room, who had invaded the castle of the Empire, were walking deep in the passage of the castle.

"Still, it's quite a maze. There were plenty of soldiers guarding this corridor before that."

"This is where the SS ranked monsters are caught. This much is natural. That said, no matter how tight the security is, it's like a piece of paper to me."

Cage remembers a ravaging battle that could not be called a battle between the Demon King and soldiers.

"As always, you're a bullshit strength."

"Of course. It looks like a demon king and is an SS ranked monster. Even if the opponent is the Seven Braves, the difference in strength is overwhelming."

Cage nods honestly to the words of the demon king who walks gently in front of him.

In fact, in her hand, the emperor who ruled the castle said that she would win when the other seven brave men were in a bundle.

"But you. Because it's so strong, there won't be any skirmishes between you and the Valkyrian kingdom, and if you went out directly, you would soon have been ravaged and ruled. No, not only that, but also the domination of the continent, including this empire, for a moment."

"You know that too. Let's play the monster. That doesn't mean anything to the world. I only work in the role of the Devil King."

Cage nods honestly to the demon king's words.

Indeed, that is the original role of the demon king in this world, the role of the monster. But...

"But if you say so, isn't it too sweet for you, the cooking match with the Kyaws the other day, the truce with the Valkyrian kingdom and the work of the Demon King? If it was true, it would have been a good opportunity to confront them all there."

"... you know that too. I've been playing Demon King too long. Because of this, my affection for the monsters has moved too far. More than anything else."

"You mean Kyo?"

Cage laughs bitterly when she says she has no choice.

"You're as sweet as a kid."

"And you won't have a choice. I didn't expect Kew to be in charge of seeds for the world trees, and I can't really compete with my son. If I succeed, it could be a battle involving my daughter. I admired oniichan a lot, so it's terrible to let him fight."

"Instead of falling into a cooking match, Well, I suppose so. At least some of it would have added to their growth."

However, if we can do that, someone needs to stand up as a clear enemy and obstacle to them.

Because that also leads to the achievement of Kew's goals.

With that in mind, Cage leads the answer to the question about the behavior of his wife, the Demon King.

"So that's why you wanted to go back this time?

"I see. Actually, I think this is a good opportunity for the Emperor Brave. I'm only going to stop helping those children. Well, if it's out of their hands, I'll take care of it. Even if this happens to all seven brave men, I'm confident that I can hold them back."

"Because you're serious, right?"

With such a bitter smile, Cage thinks about the emperor brave, who is the main culprit in this case.

That's why he moved at this timing, and clearly named the keys. That was Cage's first question in the first place.

"... maybe the emperor's aim is the same as ours."

"Ah? Is there such a young man? There won't be anything like that. Are we SS ranked monsters that know the truth about the world..."

Said the demon king, noticing the possibility, stopped his mouth.

No, if that's the case.

As if they had answered the question, they reached the door behind the aisle.

Together they nodded their faces and slowly opened the door.

In the dark room, they entered to confirm the appearance of SS rank Behimos, a clan of demon kings who would be captured there, but there they were unexpected sights.

"This is...."

"Hey, what the hell is going on?"

Two people confused by the sight. However, the Demon King had the feeling that the possibility he had been thinking about until recently was real.

"I see... that's what happened."

"What do you got?

"Yeah, maybe...."

"You're right. Demon King"

They suddenly turned to a voice from behind.

The person who stood there was an unexpected person taken by the two of them.

"Are you....."

"I'm sorry, but I want you to watch what happens here for a while. Above all, it is the parent's role to watch the child grow."

The meaning the person speaks of. The Demon King, who understood it instantly, grasped the whole story of the incident and stuttered his tongue unexpectedly.
