Miniature Garden Chemister

…………

At night I stare at the exchange diary as I head to my desk.

Honestly, I'm scared to open it. There is a chance that Mr. Rigg is getting some kind of message. Of course, there's a chance he didn't write anything.

... Dear Rig, do you know that I have become the Demon King?

Or don't you know it yet?

"Oh, I'm too scared to open it anymore!

Hold your head and hold it against your desk.

In the end, I couldn't tell anyone that I had become the Demon King. Dear Suzuka or Lettysreel, who are purely worried about me or thankful for me.

"Suzuka would care if she found out I had become the Demon King..."

Suzuka should know best the pain of becoming a demon king. Although I am not in a terrible state with the protection of Master Rig, I have become immortal. The gentle Suzuka can't care less.

So all the more so, I can't tell you.

But you won't be old enough to keep your mouth shut. This is the time to grow more and more, and what about a few years?

Ugh, what should I do?

"... I know I have to tell you, Ugh."

I just don't have the courage to say it seriously.

Think that far, I think.

I wonder what Ickle is going to do now?

Because you're not my curse slave anymore, so you don't have to be here. There is a master, Suzuka, and it is possible that the two of us will travel and train together.

Doesn't that mean I'm the only one left in this house? Consider the possibility that it is not plainly unlikely, but I think that would be convenient.

You don't have to feel comfortable because you're a demon. I just need to discuss it because it felt like I knew Master Rigg... Oh, I care.

"But in the meantime, it's time to report to Mr. Rigg."

Never mind, I slowly open the exchange diary.

The first thing I see is a list of my points of possession and things I can redeem. Ever since I helped Master Lettysreel, I didn't feel like owning a huge number of points and losing them at all - it was like a magic formation that jumped into my sight.

"What, this?

I've never seen it before in a while, and I've never heard of such a strange feature in my exchange diary. Unexpectedly get up from the chair and take a little distance from the replacement diary.

I'm wary that something might happen.

But there's no way Master Rigg's replacement diary is dangerous, is there?

"Uh-huh?... Hmm?

But the next moment, the magic team lights up the whole glowing room. If you close your eyes to the eyelids, you're attacked by a floating sensation.

"What do you mean -!?"

When I opened my eyes frightened, I was somewhere else that wasn't my room.

The beautifully decorated room was like a mixture of letisserie and japan.

Lovely decorations, like Cynthia's house, like nobility. But there's a TV. I have a remote control, so I put it on for now... the news usually runs. It was part of a Japanese show.

There are three doors in the room and I don't know where they lead.

"In the first place, where am I?"

If it was a window in the room, you might have figured it out, but unfortunately there's nothing like it. I just have to open the door and move on, but maybe I don't...

"This is Master Rigg's house?

"- Correct. Welcome, Hina"

"!"

When I conclude, the gentle voice I heard from behind. Hurry and look back, Master Rigg stood.

Oh wow......... long time no see, Master Rig.

But why?

There's got to be a lot to ask, but when I look at Master Rig, nothing comes up as if I'd forgotten what I was going to ask.

Only the feeling of being happy to see you again overflows me.

"Dear Rig......"

"Yeah?"

"…… I, I haha"

I think I have to tell Master Rig that I have become the Demon King on my own...... well, I don't have a voice.

Indeed, the exchange diary stated that defeating the Demon King would gain infinite points. It is possible that Master Rig's intention was to defeat the Demon King.

... I came here and realized that. If I did, I would have done the worst I could in the position of Mr. Rigg's toy.

Inside me, the possibilities of grunting abound.

I failed - such an idea swept up in me.

"Hina"

"!"

"Seems like it's hard to think about, but there's nothing to worry about."

"Dear Rig......"

"It's okay," Master Rigg said, smiling gently.

Walk slowly to me and I can gently stroke your head. It's like abandoning a child and losing strength from a nervous body.

"For a long time, I've been waiting.... When you first came to my place, you immediately sent Hina to Lettysreel, didn't you?

"Yes..."

Instead of asking for help with the flowers, it was when they became Rig-like toys.

At that time, I came to the dark Rig-like space. But he said I couldn't stay there long. Another place from here?

When I think so, Master Rig laughs all the time.

"This is where I first called Hina. Just to make it easier for you to spend some time, I've just renovated."

I don't think that's a bit of a level, Master Rig.

I accidentally stuck it in my mind and looked around the room again. I don't know how big that space was, but the space of God, the Rig. I'm sure the breadth isn't unusual either.

"Oh, but... is it okay for me to come here now?

Wouldn't it be nice to stay too long? That's what I think, I ask Master Rig.

"Humans are.... but Hina is not just a person right now. So even in this space full of my powers, I can be fine."

"Ah............!

Right, because I became the Demon King......!

In addition, I understand that Master Rigg knew that I had become the Demon King.
