I reunited with an unexpected guy.

No, being reunited was planned in itself, but so soon, and more importantly, in a place like this.

It is deadly that the Demons are attending a party to be held in the Royal Castle. Only people who are well-known in this country can attend this party.

If you care about it, the Serpent Demons will be able to kill all the royal nobles in the heart of the Kingdom of Alvan at any time.

This is the situation that is grabbing the heart of this country.

Walk on the floor where the serpent servants have taken you and the rooms that are rented out to your VIP guests have gathered.

Gather your gaze.

As a holy knight, what a title [chosen servant's] I am in the spotlight.

There will be rumors tomorrow because I will be visiting the women's room late at night, which is also a beautiful widow.

Still, you can't possibly ignore it.

A servant knocks, the lord of the room responds, and the door opens.

"Thank you for inviting me. Countess Granfeld."

Since then, I've looked into the woman that the Serpent Demon Tribe has pseudo-invented.

Countess Granfeld.

Count Granfeld, his predecessors were competent, but incompetent traces devoured their possessions.

A fallen aristocrat like a painting.

She is the one who has been married there six months ago.

After the daughter-in-law, a month later the Earl of Granfeld died, after which she cut up Granfeld territory, and in just a few months the territorial management improved once and for all.

Because of its beauty and skill, it is popular and appreciated both within and outside the territory.

... I never dreamed that Countess Granfeld was such a demon.

I can't believe the Demons can adapt to human society that far.

"Hehe, I was looking forward to seeing the Holy Knight. Come here, please."

Beauty with brown luscious body smiles.

Rubbish enough colour.

[Beastification] He sprinkles pheromones just like the tart after he does. Concentration is not the tart ratio. Unlike tarts, it would be because they are consciously releasing.

That's the synergy between a fleshy body and a trick that invites a man, sucking him in no way.

Even I'm pretty bad at being drug-tolerant in my training as an assassin and consciously trying to endure it because I know pheromones.

If a normal human ate something like this, it would be boned in one shot and try to devour its limbs.

"I have a nice cup of tea."

"No, fine. My throat is not dry."

"Don't be so vigilant. There is no poison in it. I just want to entertain you."

"That's an interesting joke"

Make me laugh.

You want me to tell you not to alarm a woman who suddenly sprinkles pheromones, continues the trick of inviting men, and tries to charm this one?

"Oh, was it broken? But you don't have to behave like that. Anyway, the only thing here is the one on this side. Show me you're as sharp as a knife, like a battlefield, with no waste of martial arts bones. It's more like you, and I'll shake it."

When the Countess Granfeld rings her fingers, the servants turn into giant white serpents.

You call it a demon with pseudo abilities?

If there are no humans here, we can talk about them as assassins of the Demon Clan Killer. Let's say it's sweet for your words.

"Then let me do that.... call people here and they'll skin the Countess Granfeld."

"You don't do that because you're a head spinner."

You know me very well.

Thus, the servant was a demon.

Then there is no way the demons have been turned aside from this servant.

If you care about that, there will be a tragedy here and there.

I don't want that.

This demon clan is smart.

There are other points where you can guess how smart you are.

That he rebuilt Granfeld territory for a short period of time even though he had the power to be a Demon. And so have I pulled the story to this point because I didn't talk to the Helicopter Demons on that occasion when I met them, and I thought it would be easier to talk to them by showing them where I stand.

As a negotiator, I'm not alarmed, but at the same time I'm quick and helpful to talk to.

"I didn't know the Demons were so aristocratic that they were invited to the royal castle. I had no idea this was a desperate battle. This move has slipped through and even held the life of an important person at the end of it. Besides... how many people have I boned out? If you care, you can manipulate this country."

I could stand pheromones, but there would be more that I didn't.

I don't even want to think about how many snake puppets are in the heart of the country.

Plus, besides the colored incense, snakes should have cards to make people obey.

"That's not much. You wanted to, too. I'm a little hurt. I can't believe there's a man out there who can't stand me."

Snake fingers stroke my breastplate.

"Unfortunately, I know a much more attractive woman than you."

"Well, heh, which one is it? Silver doll? Or the golden girl, Gitsune? You're both very cute. Boy's pure love is fine. It makes me want to smash it."

"Stop if you're going to negotiate.... if you're going to get your hands on Dia and Tart, I'll prioritize your elimination no matter what the profits"

Turn to kill.

If you're a normal person, you can faint with it alone. Because you can hide the killing altogether, naturally, and vice versa.

The snake's smile draws a little attention.

This one seems to have conveyed its true meaning.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to piss you off. Shall we negotiate by the end of the joke?"

Finally, is that the point?

Pull in the fingers the snake was making you crawl, and walk away.

"You do not want the Resurrection of the Demon King. Wouldn't you?

If this snake is serious, it will never reveal itself to me.

If you can manipulate this country to some extent as you wish, make them give orders to keep the brave men and me away, and in the meantime, aim for the big city.

You can repeat that a few times.

... Not to mention, this woman knows that the brave exist in this country and that I'm here who can defeat the demons besides the brave.

It's bad that you understand more than that about human nature and country.

If you target a country that has poor relations with this country, this country can crush the brave and my dispatches and make as much fruit of life as it wants safely.

Not doing that means nothing more than not wanting the demon king's resurrection.

"That's a quick and helpful story. Actually, I don't want the Demon King to be resurrected."

"What's the reason?

"If the Demon King is resurrected, the Demons will die. I don't want to die."

"That's really easy to understand. But tell me a little more about it. Then why would the other demons try to resurrect the Demon King? That would be crazy, wouldn't it? Are any demons other than you suicidal aspirants?

The snake yawns, seemingly tedious.

"The condition for the demon king to be resurrected is to dedicate at least three fruits of life. And if you are resurrected, you will absorb all demons. However, it is the demon tribe that produced the most fruits of life that forms the basis of the Demon King. If you don't want to disappear, you have to make more fruit of life than anyone else."

... In other words, is the Demon Nation only the nutrition of the Demon King?

Carry the bait, and at the end of the day, even offer yourself.

"Why not try to make the fruit of life before anything else?

"Assuming, even if I became the base of the Demon King, is that really me? I feel nauseated to be poured out tens of thousands of human souls by other demons and the fruits of life. I prefer to stay me, I can't allow someone to get inside me. So I pull the legs of other demons."

"It makes sense, but wouldn't it be quicker to convince the other demons? Other demons might think the same way."

"I can't do that. Those idiots, they only think about themselves becoming demon kings. Demons are animals who seek strength, and they just follow their instincts."

"You're not?

"Yeah, I can't do this any more. I enjoy living in the midst of humans. Territorial management is going well, and sometimes you can manipulate some great people, and the luxury stays with you. I am impressed with human culture, and no, I respect it and I am heartbroken. I want to continue my current life and enjoy the culture and entertainment that humans make. That's my wish. So the other demons are in the way."

As an assassin, I have the skills to read minds.

This woman is ”hardly” lying.

"Then the interest is unanimous."

"Yeah, that's why I revealed to you that I'm a demon. The brave ones are too blue in the ass to negotiate. Your turn next, heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh i

Indeed it is.

So far, this one has gained unilaterally.

"Right. Then let's do the information we keep. If you don't work with me, the Demon King will surely be resurrected and you will die. The goddess and I were informed about the future. As it is, the Demon King is resurrected, his demon king is killed by a brave man, and then this world is destroyed by a mad brave man.... my purpose is to change that future."

"Oh, that [chosen servant's] was true."

"Yes, I am moving at the behest of the goddess. By the will of that goddess, I am changing the future I was meant to visit. If I don't interfere, 100% Demon King will be resurrected and killed by the brave. You don't want that."

Half is a lie, but half is true.

"Oh, yeah. That can't be without cooperation, can it? Hehe, that's funny. You haven't named him yet. Please don't call me Meena. The only thing you can call Meena is supposed to be my pretty slave, Pet, but you're special."

I come looking for a handshake, so I respond to that.

I have a good collaborator.

I can get support in both politics within the royal castle, information on the demons, and that.

And the assassin's eyes discern the serpent's lies.

This snake is not lying in the major muscles.

But there was a mix of lies somewhere.

The real liar mixes the slightest lies in the truth.

This snake...... in Meena's case, even if she could be the Demon King, it is undisputed that she said she was sorry for other demons entering.

But tens of thousands of people are lying. Perhaps it is not the number of things, no matter how many human souls and so on.

And while it's true that I'm happy as I am now and I wish those days would go on, it's a lie that I don't want power. I thirst for power with the instincts of the devil clan.

Other than that, it's all true.

There is one conclusion to be drawn from it.

The purpose of Meena is to kill all other demons and create a situation in which no other demons mix themselves before becoming demon kings.

For that, they're trying to use this country and me.

Very cunning.

That's why it's more trustworthy and easier to use than anything that doesn't have any ambition.

And if Meena decides that the Demons can kill the rest of the Demons if they are alone, or if they can kill the rest with their own pawns, I will be used up and try to erase them.

... I know Meena's true intentions better, so she's worthless and willing to assassinate me.

In other words, this is a game that has been confirmed to use each other to the point of trivialization and, at the end of the day, betrayal.

Conversely, you can trust me until then.

"We have a good negotiation. In honor of that, how about we just love each other like this? It hurts to have a good man in front of you."

"I told you. I have a lovely lover."

"You're feeling stiff. It's a shame. I can't make you happy when you're a human little girl."

"I'm sorry. Besides, let me point out one thing: nothing is all about physical pleasure. We love each other for something more than that. It's something you don't get."

"Alas, sister, I've been embarrassed to hear you say that to my face. You're so young."

Keep going, leave the room.

Used and utilized.

Let's continue this relationship well.

... Well, the problem is when I get home.

I'm sure Dia will be angry and obstinate when she goes to see a horny beauty, Tart keeps staring at her with sad eyes, although she doesn't speak of dissatisfaction.

A little tempestuous, but that's proof of being loved.

That's strange because it makes you seem adorable.

In the meantime, let's hurry to them.

From there, all you have to do is think about it.
