Master’s Smile

Episode 313: The Beginning of Talks

Talks, though, do not mean a great deal of hustle and greeting to the people.

As yet, there is not even a national border between the Vasuil demonic kingdom and Pope Zelnike.

Sometimes when you welcome a boulder at will, you can see this one down there.

Even so, it seems like someone like a messenger is coming this time, and he wants to meet with me, the Demon King, so I feel like I'm being looked down on from the beginning.

Well, I don't mind.

"Hehe."

Anato laughs at Nico next to me.

This time, it was me and Anato who participated in the talks from the side of Vasuil's demonic kingdom. I am anxious.

If you say something bad about Anato, it's because he really hasn't waited for a religious war.

Anglicanism does not attempt to acknowledge paganism by the time it is unusual, and Master religion is similar from what we have previously peered at.

I mean, cult vs. It becomes an awesome structure called cult. Scary.

"Master, they're here."

A lump of liquid appeared from the shade of my chair that seemed to shake softly, telling me so.

This child is a sorgross split. He told me that a messenger from the Holy See of Zelnike had arrived at the Royal Castle.

I thank you and calm down.

Now, what kind of talks are we going to have...

"Ma'am, I don't know what to do. It's just gonna be a meeting."

Yep... such a light betrayal of my expectations...

It doesn't mean Anato is being mean to me.

Because this kid used to have a lot of angelic stuff too...

With that in mind, the door knocked lightly.

"Your Majesty, you can see the messengers from Pope Zelnike."

A clean and clear voice is Schwartz.

As she was always dressed as a maid of honor in my position as a slave, she asked for a guide this time, wondering if there would be any surprise in guiding the messenger.

When I replied, the door opened.

"Excuse me."

Schwartz led me here with one dude who looked like a priest, and multiple people.

Perhaps he, the priest who walks in the lead, is the leader of this emissary, and perhaps the others are escorts?

Well, it's weirder not to be on guard because you're coming to the nest of demons that have been hostile to humanity for years.

"I will see you first, Your Majesty the Demon King. I'm Muratov. I am a priest who preaches the wonderful teachings of Anglicanism, and I have been entrusted with the full powers of this meeting, a messenger of Pope Zelnike."

Father - Muratov bows his head with a seemingly well-deserved grin.

learned by it, and those who would be his escorts bowed their heads lightly, too.

Me and Anato take it and urge her to take a seat.

What, don't be alarmed that it seems easy to talk outside...

Because they're angelic followers. A girl named Mary, who was at a brave party, was a gentle-hearted Sister, but freaked out at once over trivialities.

Not because she's special, but something called an angelic follower is more or less like that.

Although Muratov also creates a very soft atmosphere, there is a strong feeling of angelism in the words.

Hmmm...... this looks rough.

"First of all, I would like to congratulate you on becoming a new Demon King. For how many minutes, our country and Vasuil Demon kingdom were not dating, so I can't immediately convey my congratulations..."

Muratov bows his head as he seems sorry.

Hmmm... you usually feel like a good person. Though I can't be alarmed.

I tell him I don't want him to worry.

I didn't want to do it in the first place.

"It would be helpful if you could say that"

Also, Muratov smiles in a good way.

Truth is, Angelic followers are good people if Angelism had nothing to do with it... Too bad.

Now, Muratov still seems to be able to talk, but what about the people standing behind him?

You realize I'm looking at you, and he explains it.

"Oh, those behind me are supposed to be my escorts. I don't know what's on the road."

He tells me that he is not merely an escort and that he is a warrior and intimidating.

In fact, even though it's relatively calm, it doesn't mean there 'll never be bandits or anything else, so there's nothing wrong with Muratov bringing in an escort.

Besides, the Vasuil demonic kingdom has been in conflict with Pope Zelnike, the land of mankind, for years, so if you're going to jump into it, you'll definitely need some of the escorts.

In fact, it's not just me and Anato.

Sorgross is sneaking his split somewhere in this room, and Chevalt is standing right next to the door.

The Muratovs may think they are just maids, but they are violencemaids who chop up enemies with demonic swords when things happen.

Which means neither one of us trusts them very much.

"Now, as a country, we want to be friendly with your country"

Quickly, Muratov gets to the point.

I snort at that word, too.

That's right. If it's enough to be an enemy on purpose, it's up to you to be on your side.

"Yes, His Majesty the Demon King's policy of reconciliation was also highly appreciated by the Pope in our country. As much as possible, you should avoid war."

Apparently, my policy, or character, is already known to Pope Zelnike.

Nothing, it wouldn't be a bad thing if they found out... but it definitely means that the personnel on that side were in the demon kingdom, right? Like a spy.

But I'm glad we're going to have a conversation.

Then let's just say that you will return with the promise of a treaty of friendship.

I don't even know when I'm going to be mad about masterhood.

"That's what I'm saying..."

When I tell him, Muratov shows a slightly reluctant attitude.

No way... I have a bad feeling...

"In order for you to bond with our country, we need you to recognize the missionary activities of the Angels who worship our angels."

Hi-ha-ha! I knew it...

Well, if you look at the angelics you've ever met, I would have thought that its main mountain, Pope Zelnike, would also come up with these conditions......

I didn't know you were gonna bump from the beginning......

I can see how important Anglican missionary activity is for Pope Zelnike.

"Do you understand?

I don't know, Muratov's tone is getting stronger, and the good hitting so far is disappearing...

Well, that's right. It's not that sweet...

If I had been you before, I would have accepted you eventually even though you were somewhat reluctant.

I think faith is personal freedom, and you were making me promise not to engage in terrorist activities to give you permission?

But the situation in the Vasuil demon kingdom today is different from before...

"I'm sorry, but I refuse to talk about that Wow"

Anato already said no when I was worried. [M]

... Well, I probably would have said no, too, I hope.

There's nothing dangerous about a city where angelism and masterhood can be mixed.

"... may I ask why?

"Already no, certain religions were widely accepted in our country...... When you bring in a new religion, it's a source of conflict."

Muratov to distract himself and ask questions.

After all, angelic shortness in matters concerning angelic religion is unusual.

Anato tells him what's going on in this country.

If what she says is true, the people are almost masters already.

If angelism came in there, it would definitely be a spark.

"Religion in this country......?... Oh, I hear something slightly offensive. Master religion, was it? It looks like another religion that I don't understand is popular."

Muratov's per capita goodness has completely vanished. Sad.

Nevertheless, what you are saying is decent.

Master religion, it's a cult. Well, I don't even have the muscles that angelism tells me. It's a cult there, too.

To Muratov's poison, Anato smiles nicely. However, my eyes are not laughing.

".................. hehe ~"

Looks rough again, this one.
