Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta

After Eltoria walked away from the guest room saying she had something to do, Satie, who was sitting right next to me, threw a strange glance at me.

"Your husband, what is Cesar Pent?

It was Lilith from Sacubus who answered in my place.

"You're the same little girl who doesn't know anything. Cesar Pent is a big snake that lives in the ocean."

I'd like to go in and tell someone else, but it's true, so I won't say anything.

She is a daughter with little brain capacity, but for once, I guess she has knowledge of the Demon Clan's end, the Demon Monster.

Referring to the painting Eltoria showed me earlier,

"It's exactly like that painting monster. Bigger than a large sailboat, its huge and wrapped around the ship, sinking the ship"

Explain.

"You have such a haunted creature living in the sea..."

Satie frightens me, but I agree with that.

Even in the previous life, there were giant whales measuring 30 meters in the sea, squid like Kraken, nearly 20 meters away.

It's weirder that Cesar Pent doesn't exist in this world where dragons and goblins exist.

"Well, from that painting, I guess the size is bigger than a Sirona gas whale"

"Is it bigger than Mr. Whale"

"To guess from the painting. Besides, as far as Eltoria's story and sailors' fears are concerned, I guess 30 meters is crap?

It's like a dinosaur from the White Age or the Jurassic.

"Now, how can I defeat such a monster"

I have a problem with my head.

It was Anemone the Elf who saw how it was and spoke freely.

If she raises her hand modestly, can I ask you a question?

And he asks.

"I don't mind. Besides, this is no place for military discussion. No need to raise your hand."

When Anemone heard the words, she had asked the question with a preface: "Really, that would help".

"Um, Mr. Ike is a demon, isn't he?

"Unique."

Now he is disguised as a human figure, but if he returns to Ivaris, the crying child will also shut up. The head of the 8th legion, that is. Sometimes when I'm surrounded by these noisy daughters, I forget.

"If you're an executive of the Demon King's Army, isn't Cesar Pent like a companion? Can't you serve normally?

Well, that was certainly a good question.

There are many demons in the Demon King's Army, and with their help.

From the perspective of humans and subhuman beings who don't know the truth about the 'Demon King's Army', I guess they just look like fellow Demons such as Cesarpent.

Satti mouths a similar question.

"Sati was wondering the same question. The Demon King Army has a glass of monsters, doesn't it? Can't Mr. Cesarpent persuade you to be one of them, too?

Lilith looked at the question, "You're an idiot, you wouldn't be so bothered if you could do that," but I explained to Satie and Anemone that I would control it.

"It is true that the Demon King's Army does not only have demon tribes, but also many species called demons. However, there are exceptions for every"

"Exception......?

That's what Anemone says.

"A dragon, for example. Sometimes the intelligent dragon is proud but therefore refuses to fight the Demons and lives secluded behind woods and mountains. Low intelligence Wyburn and others are often used by demons. But if you ask a human scholar, Wyburn is not classified as a dragon."

"You did have a unit in the 8th Corps that also had Wyburn. I've seen oaks feeding."

"That's how you get used to demons. Often, demons are good at keeping demons to themselves. That's why the Demon King Army has a cup of demons."

"The Demons are good at teaching demons."

"Well, you're right. I wonder if I feel better than a human being. Or maybe it's compatible with the pheromones out of the Demon Clan."

I didn't know that was a human being, and I've never thought deeply about it, but, anyway, it was the Demons' specialty to keep demons.

For what is less skillful than a human being, God may have treated the area preferentially.

"Ike, Ike said there are exceptions to everything, but Cesar Pent is the dragon species for that exception, right?

"Oh, I don't know why, but only the dragons don't go well with the Demons. Wouldn't humans be more compatible?

"And, okay?

"I'm not in Rosalia, but some of the kingdoms of man have knights who are used to flying dragons. It's called the Dragon Knight."

"... are you a dragon knight"

"Oh, fortunately, I've never seen him on the battlefield before, but he said the 4th Regiment leader fought and suffered a great defeat before"

"... that's horrible. You don't want to fight if you can."

"I agree with that."

And, to put it mildly, back to business.

"That's why it's impossible to use Cesar Pent. I don't know if the Great Sea Serpent is a kind of dragon, but not all demons will listen to the Demons"

Anemone seemed convinced when I said so.

Thereafter, I stopped talking about "using Cesar Pent".

"Well, then I still have to exorcise..."

Yeah, when I said it, Lilith waited for me, and I just, like, sandwiched my mouth.

"It's all about serving or offering Julia a sacrifice. Defeat Cesar Pent all the way here to solve the problem. That way, Eltoria will also feed the Demon King's Army."

"You're as simple a daughter as ever."

Now put it out in your mouth and say it clearly.

"Yeah, well, it can't be that simple."

"Why is that? That worked last time, didn't it?

I guess I'm referring to the last time I crusaded the red-haired pirate Carosa.

Besides, I've saved Julia from banditry.

But still, she won't be able to move just that.

"Sure, she's Miss Julia's mother. At the same time, however, he is also the head of this Zenobia and the leader of the Trade Union. Personal feelings don't work for me."

"So you're just saying work?

Lilith says in dismay.

"That could happen."

That's what I said. Lilith leaks a big sigh.

"As gentle or sweet as ever"

I don't want to argue with you because you're right, but Sati will take refuge.

"But I think that's the good thing about your husband!

Anemone nodded, "I agree," but is that a good thing as an executive of the Demon King's Army?

Let's not think deeply about it.

"Which, now, is Miss Julia's crisis. In the midst of my daughter's crisis, it would be against courtesy to bring up every negotiation, and we would not be able to make a normal decision over there. Besides, the fact that Cesar Pent is roughing up the ocean doesn't mean they can import food on the sea route."

"So Cesar Pent must definitely be defeated,"

When Anemone closes like that, I shake my head vertically, "Oh."

To sum up, at the same time, the doors of the rooms are opened.

Eltoria came back out of her seat.

"You kept me waiting."

In a nutshell, she spread the nautical chart held on the side of the table.

The map shows a red dot.

Perhaps this is where Cesar Pent attacked the merchant ship.

That number of red dots was higher than I thought.
