Magic? Muscle Is Much More Important Than Such A Thing!

Leaving Demon King's Castle, we walk to the place Gargador taught us.

After walking for about an hour, I arrived at my destination.

"This is the place where demons evolve from demons and live in solidification."

I thought it was rougher, but it's not that far on the outside.

There's nothing wrong with the injured falling down, or the blood sticking on the wall.

... but well, some people don't hesitate to put cancer on me just walking like this.

This really seems insecure.

"Exactly. They don't mean there's blood all over the city right now, but it must still be a noisy place. Be careful..."

"Quail."

"Wait a minute. I think I heard a very unwanted word right now.... No, I'm fine. There's still a chance that I heard wrong. Yes, I'm sure you heard wrong! Definitely!

"Hey Phyllia, this kind of dangerous city is going to be a wuss!

"Ugh, I can't believe you can't even let me escape reality... by Yuri...!

Hmm? Why are you so depressed?

I'm not sure. Leave Phyllia... I'd like to talk to a lot of people in this place, but I wonder who.

I'd like someone who can at least listen to me.

"Hey, you."

As I thought so, I was called from the side.

Turning to the voice, it was the demon of the man who was there.

One smaller head than me, about the length of a filia.

Its body is tight, even if it has fewer muscles.

A man with a slight impression of playing with orange hair as a whole.

"What can I do for you?

"You're not a demon, are you? Who?"

That's a pretty lame question.

But let me tell you something, I'm a Gentleman.

"I'm Yuri. And this is the biceps, this is the triceps, this is the quadriceps, this is the..."

"Hey, wait a minute. What are you suddenly saying?

"I was wondering if I should introduce you to all the muscles. Gentlemen, that's the kind of care I naturally get. You can't be surprised."

"It's also unusual to care so empty-handed. Hats off."

It's polite enough for Phyllia to take off her hat.

The demon man in front of me is also greatly surprised by my gentlemanly behavior.

"Well, no. My advice to Yuri and your elf. Since the neighborhood's been tingling lately, you better be careful, huh? There's been a skirmish today."

"Yu, Yuri, I heard!?

With this, Leo will be able to establish himself as the fourth faction in the current three-ways succession war.

"Now this man, don't talk about me!

That way.

You don't care now.

"In the end, my charm doesn't attract 10,000 people... oh, I'm a really sinful woman..."

Hey, Phyllia, check it out.

The man in front of me is pulling the trigger while you're drunk on yourself.

"Oh, are you both out of your minds......?

"!? Hey Phyllia I'm decent anyway!

"Hey, wait a minute! Though I am absolutely more decent!?

What are you talking about, Phyllia, now you're insane!?

"... I may have spoken to them..."

The man said to mourn as he looked at us both.

So I guess I'm a decent guy!

Then a few minutes later.

"Speaking of…" finally remembering its original purpose, me and Firia decided to ask the man about the current situation around here.

The man named himself Zazor. He was originally a demon called Poison Spider.

"You look like a spider, don't you?" He said so well, "but if you do say so, you don't have to feel that way.

He tried to live in a human country first after becoming a demon three years ago, but soon came to the demon country to be attacked by adventurers from all over the city and run away, Zazor said.

That's how other demonized demons are gathering in this country.

"But lately, it's been a shitty vibe here, too. It feels like an unexploded bomb is smoking... if it explodes, that's the sign that there's going to be a coup or something. This is the only country where demons like me can live, so I want the king to do something about it."

"Do you know anything about why the atmosphere has been disturbing lately?

To my question, Zazor twisted his neck.

"Um, I don't care...... for now, the ex-demonster demon who lives here is insatiable without exception. That's for sure."

"Does insatiable desire mean you have an extra destructive impulse that you've been preparing for since you were originally a demon?

"Oh. That's what we're trying to put up with, too, huh? You've become a demon and you've gained reason. But sometimes the instincts of being a demon go beyond that."

Even humans are no match for the three greatest desires, no matter how rational they are.

In the case of demons like Zazor and the others who were originally demons, is there a fourth greed that should be called destructive greed, as in line there? That's not instinctive. He said he wanted it.

"But, well, that's been the same for five years now, when the king blamed the violence, so it hasn't been a reason for sudden insecurity lately.... so I don't know! Sorry, I can't help you."

Zazor looks sorry.

"No, thank you Zazor. Thank you for telling me so much."

"I just wanted to say thank you for sharing the situation with strangers like us. Thank you very much."

I honestly didn't expect you to treat me so amicably. He's a good guy.

"Ooh..."

When he hears our words, Zazor rounds his eyes.

What? I don't think I said anything particularly weird...?

"... you can say something surprisingly decent, you guys. Surprised."

What the hell do you think we are?

"... okay. To listen to what I've been saying, if you can't release your destructive impulse, it's gonna be stressful, right? So you're accumulating, too?

"……… well."

Zazor nods and talks hard.

"I try to keep it down, but there are things that I can't seem to resist my instincts, and honestly, there are times when I'm tough. I think it would be easier if it dissipated somewhere once..."

I see. In short, you want to punch each other thoroughly with someone, so that's it?

"Okay. Then I'll let that stress dissipate you."

"... Huh? Yuri, what are you talking about?

To Zazor, who looks suspicious, I smile.

"Fight me, Zazor."

I was just wanting to fight, too, and I was just wuss.

All right? Let's have a fight.
