Master’s Smile

"This processing, please"

"This one too, please"

Oh, yeah......

I return a vague reply and a grin to the demons who come to the room one after the other and leave behind a pile of documents.

... Do you have a lot of paperwork like this, King?

I think of Queen Nina of the Kingdom of Evan, and I take it upon myself to learn companionship.

I, the master of the Dark Alliance's Army of Salvation (Yerkchilla), had become the new demon king of Vasuil's demonic kingdom.

... Yeah, I couldn't get away with it.

I cannot ask the children of the Alliance for help.

They have handed over a country as a gift. I can't tell you I don't need it......

And Nina, the queen of the kingdom of Evan, who was the outline of a favor, will soon recognize me as the new demon king.

Now we can no longer use pressure from other countries to justify our escape.

Still, I didn't give up hope!

The last thing I expected was the demons, the people of the Vasuil demonic kingdom.

Will they accept even if the new Demon King is human (tentative)?

No, no, no! Well, some strange demons would accept me, but most of them would refuse!

... Sometimes I thought so...

The Demons seemed to be more of a meritocrat than I thought.

Even if the opponent is a human being, you wish you had defeated the former demon king, right? I accepted it in a targeted way.

No, you can't. Let's think about it.

But the demons were drunk on their first act of electing a new king from themselves, and they pushed me to push.

… this is the one called extra help?

Still, there were demons who showed me their willingness to disobey.

I tried to leave quickly because of them... but at some point, they were evaporating. Literally.

He's been raided by someone.

... Not my kids, right?

Nonetheless, I was compelled to reign as the Demon King.

Well, a little patience.

In a few moments, let's choose one duly capable and honest Demon clan to give way to that person.

"Master..."

Fighting the paperwork with that in mind, I heard him calling my name.

When I looked at the door, there was a girl who opened it just a little and just put her face out of it.

He was a crank-height, a member of the Army of Salvation (Yerkchilla) with silver-haired hair drilled into it.

Oh, what's wrong? Don't stay there, come into your room.

When I tell him that, Crankheit snorts in with a cockle.

"Ugh, yeah...... Oh, Ma, should I call you Demon King?

I laugh at her unexpectedly.

And I told him to give me a break.

I can't help but be told that by the demons who know nothing about it, but I miss being called Demon King by the sons of the Alliance as well.

"Hehe, hehe... Well, then, ma'am, with the master..."

Crankheit laughs with a nigga when he hears my words.

... Yeah, that's a little bit more unique to laugh at. Well, she's cute there, too.

So, what can I do for you?

"Uh... to make a report..."

He looks up at me and says:

Since I took office as Demon King, I have never been alienated from the face of the Army of Salvation (Yerkthilla)...

They seem to be helping me out, running around politics, economics, etc.

Crankheit is one of them.

Great... because if the gift alienates you from these kids, you can't even look at them.

Besides, you'll never be able to tell me to turn the country around by myself.

... But what about the fact that all the key positions to move Vasuil demon kingdom are filled with members of the Dark Alliance?

Wouldn't this be like a seizure of the country?

... Well, if no one can fool you, it's safe.

Amongst other things, Crankheit sure... is he doing something like policing me?

"Ugh, yeah... uh, keep it safe... targeted...?

He doesn't quite understand Crankheit either.

But it's also true that it's helping. I'll tell him I appreciate it.

"Hehe..."

Crankheit laughed happily.

... Yeah, if I don't cure that way of laughing, will I lose my girlfriend?

Though I think I'm cute, the others are going to retire before it seems like it.

"Well, you know, there's been a lot of violence lately..."

Whoa, Crankheit's giving me a report.

... a case of violence.

I thought that was more than a human country because I'm a meritocratic demon...

"Also, originally, the Demons are a bunch of abusive, short-tempered idiots, but lately, there are a lot of them..."

Although Crankheit is slightly tough... well, it is true that the Demons are abusive.

But I guess she's concerned because there's been a lot of incidents these days.

Given the reason, I got one in my head.

That means that this country will not be around for long after the war.

It seems that Uroboros, the former demon king, did not lay down a national mobilisation system, but it still does not mean that it has no effect on the people at all.

Besides, I and Coolin are at the forefront, and humans and other demons are attacking this country...

It wouldn't be strange if some of the people turned into thugs.

"Well, I think there's that too... Hey, it's kind of crazy..."

But apparently, Crankheit thinks that's not all.

Hmmm...... honestly, this kid would be more reliable than me, and it wouldn't be a good idea to cut him off if he was worried.

"Well, there could be someone's instigation or manipulation..."

I was struck by the words. [M]

The sedition... well, I can still tell.

It is also conceivable that the demons who have bad feelings for me are moving the demons with gaps in their hearts because there is no time after the war.

But manipulation...

Kind of a scary word.

"Wow, it's similar to my way..."

Crankheit who talks to me about the naughty.

... What, when you say it resembles the way Crankheit does it, that's...

Crankheit looks at my face and nods, wondering if my face was solidified with a smile.

"Yes, maybe, but as the master thinks"

... That's a mess.

What Crankheit specializes in is hallucinogenic magic.

And I was alarmed that no one could be more hallucinated than her because there were few other people who could handle it.

But among the guilds of Lucilles, the adventurers of the Evan kingdom, is a young man named Ill who uses hallucinogenic magic.

If exceptions like him exist, it's no surprise that there are others who can use hallucinogenic magic.

Besides, being similar to Crankheit... means the race is that troublesome too...

... maybe I should check under the castle for once.

All right, suppose we go. Can you follow me, too, Crankheit, if you like?

If I were her hallucinogenic magic user, I might be manipulated.

"... Huh? Wow, can I come with you...?

Crankheit with a surprised look on his face.

Yeah.... or even though I'm asking for it.

... Oh, couldn't you? There would have been something to do.

If that's the case, I'll be alone...

"Yes, okay, go!!

Crank height that holds you tight and tight.

Oh, oh... right. So, shall I come with you?

Thus I decided to walk under the castle with Crankheit.

"Hehe."

... In the meantime, it looks like you should change the way this kid laughs.
