Maou no Hajimekata

"What, so..."

As she squeezed out, Zana raised her voice.

"Why are you free?"

"Well, I predicted this would happen."

"Hih!?

Suddenly Lil's neck rolling on the floor talks and Zana squeaks her butt off screaming.

Don't be ridiculous.

Oul said in a voice that was not as colorful as blaming him for his words, picking up his neck and releasing it behind his back. Lil appeared as he took his neck, wondering if his supple arms protruded from his shadow.

"No way...... fake!?

"Because of it - hey. You did pretty good, didn't you?

What was being ice pickled was the split created by Lil with his magic. Being a succubus, she can transform into any figure if only she looks. If it was a familiar face such as Eunice, Spina or Marie, it was before breakfast, such as imitating even that fine habit.

"I gave you a tip for once. Sophia noticed, didn't she?

"I laughed unexpectedly when I realized it. It's just Lil's, it's too obvious."

Marie's bracelet design is different than usual.

I don't have the ring I always wear on Spina's finger sitting in the chair.

Eunice's dominant hand reading the book is the opposite of what it should be.

To the extent that I wonder if one thing at a time might change my mood, but all in all, that was a clear sign. Extremely, the corner of the lil was stretched in the opposite direction as usual. The first thing I noticed was Spina's ring, Marie, where I found it uncomfortable with Eunice and tried to find the difference between Lil 'and Sophia noticed it.

Why didn't I or Zana notice such a huge difference? I couldn't laugh even though it was an urgent occasion to think so.

"So, but...! My ice, it's not just ice! It's ice protected by the Moon Goddess!? Oulu definitely froze it without any help! Just a flame should never dissolve!

"I mean, it doesn't have to be just a flame, does it?

Let only one eye glow red and lift her crimson dyed hair, Marie says.

"I'm not going back," Flame-haired Princess, "John Ark"

A flame of the English spirit that burns down even the flames of the demonic world. When I gently returned that power to Heavenly Gate, which had only erased and melted Zana's ice, Marie's eyes and hair color reverted.

"In the first place, why didn't you give me time to... prepare something like this!

It was only seconds before Zana showed Oulu the will to hostility and then let it freeze completely. I knew I could talk to Lil, so the meeting took place in a tied room, and that should have worked.

There's no way the lils, who knew nothing and stayed in the room, could handle Zana. Not to mention that creating such a precision split shouldn't be for a moment, no matter how much sacubus.

"You knew this would happen in advance?

"No. I didn't think I'd do anything bold to the boulder so far."

To Sophia's inquiry, Oul shook his neck to the side.

"Then why..."

"I didn't anticipate it. But that's no reason not to be prepared."

To confused Sophia, Spina says.

"The Master left us. Then it's only natural that we should be prepared for what happens to your master."

Zana was stunned when she told her as a matter of course.

"So what...?

In a trembling voice, Zana asks.

"You guys don't even think I'm going to do something to Oulu, but I'm going out of my way to create this fake... that you've been waiting outside in the cold?

If you're in the castle, there's no reason Zana won't notice its existence. If so, that's what it is.

"That's right. Well, there's been a couple of similar things before."

Oulu's own biggest drawback is his lack of combat capability. Although I got a dungeon cube and can fight it myself to some extent, some steps are inferior if compared to a strong man like Eunice.

You can always put it on the escort, but sometimes you can't even put it on where you want to show friendship, like this one. Besides, it is often more convenient to stay away if you are a varnish with the ability to transfer to Oulu at any time.

It was no longer a habit to be prepared for anything.

"Sister... why are you doing this...?

To Yeldave's question, but Zana does not answer.

If you really flipped an anti-flag against Oulu, you'd still know. Be profitable. Be motivated, I had every reason to just do that.

But it was clear that you didn't. There's no point in being afraid to do more harm to the hostages than necessary if you're serious about destroying the Ouls, and Zana hasn't used the power of Marina, the goddess of the moon, the power of 'best hands' in the first place. If I had used it, I wouldn't have taken Sofia's lag against them.

"Well...... you were probably going to be discussed by Sophia, but I'm pretty sure it didn't go the way you saw it"

Precisely, I guess I didn't use the power of my best hand, but I couldn't, Oul thinks. The best is not the best for Zana, but what the goddess Marina thinks is the best. This also means that what Zana was trying to do was something her parents did not agree with.

"... Still. You wouldn't just do me, would you? Kind demon king. Let me tell you something, if you're going to release me because I didn't mean it, I'll do the same thing again. That too, now more thoroughly."

Zana looked up at Oulu and said so in a dark voice. It's a cheap provocation, but I can't say if I don't respond. In that sense, does Zana also achieve her purpose?

"Whatever. I don't care if it's crazy or not, I can't forgive anything that pokes at me. For one thing, you..."

Damn, and Oul sighs inside.

"Let the slaves fall."

He's a troublesome guy, and that's what Oul told him.
