The Devil’s Origin

"Ma'am... I'm sorry... because... we... went out..."

Lucis, who was divided between Velcro and Kira, was trembling with pity at the situation where I... the Demon King had to confront a brave man.

"It's all right, Lucis. This is what happened eventually." Whether it's early or late, it's just the difference. "

"But... but..."

"Lucis is brave. Trying to protect my father. You can't stand up to a serious hero like that. But Velk and Lucis are both my most important demons. You mustn't give your life lightly."

"Mae... ma'am..."

Velk held up Lucis, who was crying.

"Kill Latour, all I want is dialogue." Talk to me before you decide if you can talk to the demons. If you decide after the conversation that the demons should be destroyed, you must kill me with that holy sword. "

"Dialogue......"

I can't hear Kill Latour's heart. I feel so nervous and desperate that my thoughts are closed.

"Velk, let the Demon Race defend what I'm about to say as the covenant of the Demon King."

Haha

Even so, the demons among the Tsubagami would be watching this now. But it's insurance.

"Kill Latour, I'm taking you to my Demon King Castle." Enter the enemy territory alone. I didn't think there was any way to worry about the Dark Invaders. But I won't point the blade at you at all. I won't try to harm you. The other demon tribes were also thoroughly enforcing it. And after the conversation, if you decide that the demons should be destroyed, I will offer you my head. So don't harm the other demons. Forgive me for taking one of my necks. "

"Mao-kun...!?"

Demon King!?

"Even if my neck flies, the demons won't harm you at all."... I won't let you hurt me, Velk. Protect me. "

"But...."

"If Kill Latour decides so, then so be it." I don't think so. No, I want to show you a way out of this. ”

Velk doesn't seem to be able to take orders. But he probably promised the other demons that he would protect him.

"Mao-kun... no, the Demon King..." That's what you said before. Dialogue, dialogue with the demons. "

"I'm so... no, my soul is so bad at being bloody."

"Even though you're the Devil King... hahaha... it looks like my blood is getting worse than that of a brave me."... I'll answer the conversation as you wish. "

Thank you, Kira.

………

Kira's face suddenly looked like she could withstand the pain.

I went deep into the forest with Kira and the others.

When I hit the empty space, the Phantom Magic dissolves and the Demon King Castle appears.

Kira seemed surprised at the castle that suddenly appeared in front of her.

As I entered the Demon King Castle, Kira followed me with vigilance.

I walked down the wide corridor of Demon King Castle in the order of Velk holding Kira and Lux.

Kira looked around nervously.

"This is the Demon King Castle..."

Wasn't it the Demon King Castle that fought his predecessor?

”That's because the other person suddenly showed up... but it's huge... but...”

The children are deep in the castle. And the adult demons were standing by while I watched.

There was no sign of anyone in the dazed hallway.

"Hmm... my power also made the Demon King Castle a splendid place." You'd be surprised how spacious it is. "

"Um... what we have in the courtyard is a wooden... possibly an execution tool...?"

"No? It's just an assembled desk for camping in the courtyard." In this courtyard, 100 people can eat together and have a barbecue. "

"The wood cut off by the sharp claws placed in this corridor....."

"There are also demons from the cat family." Of course, it was a nail claw. It's not here, but it's equipped with a large cat tower. ”

"This skull object..."

"No, I really wanted to make it a little more fancy, but I was told that the majesty of the Demon King Castle... I made a lot of it and decorated it." It looks like the real thing because it's a master craftsman, doesn't it? "

"... not to mention a hidden room like this secret base..."

"Ah, did the children of the castle make it by magic?" A secret base, of course. I've hidden some of my favorite toys inside. "

"...... places of execution...... torture rooms......"

"I won't make such a noisy thing." Because there are many small children. It's dangerous, isn't it? "

"Danger..."

"Of course, there are training rooms and magic training rooms to improve the protection of the castle..." The large bathing area magically draws hot springs from the volcano for relaxation, and there is also a rock bath, a heated swimming pool, and a nap break room. Now that the library has finally begun to be built, I plan to add more collections. The cafeteria is spacious, and they always cook so that those who work three shifts - morning shift, day shift, and night shift - can eat at any time. Various demonic tribes are transmitting recipes nowadays, so there's plenty of valuation.... "

Along with that, the bragging of the Demon King Castle, whose welfare benefits were becoming firmer, was getting hot.

Of course, anyone in the demon race is free to use it.

"Ah, yeah... I'm just fighting the gap with the image of the Demon King's Castle inside me, so wait..."

Kira looks very complicated.

Rather than speaking as a brave man, Mao's tone was closer when he talked to me.

Don't worry, Kira. You've made the necessary places for the Demon King Castle you imagine.

"Heh..."

"There is a hidden treasure room with Chan." As a castle savings. I won't tell you where it is! "

"Ah, yeah..."

Demon King... that's probably what the brave men are talking about.

Velk, who followed quietly behind him, spoke with a subtle face.

Speaking of dangers, some children and monsters can't walk on two legs, so I'm also very aware of the accessibility.

"It's barrier-free...? I don't know, but the wooden scraps are scraped clean and polished to avoid injury, and the railing is equipped with slopes... Wow, cushioning is used in the corners..."

"If you hit me and I hurt you, it's pathetic."

"...... more than a human castle......"

”Fufu... because the Demon King Castle is in response to my magic power and soul”

That's why I wanted you to know. I wanted you to see it. You can't have a conversation about who I am. I wanted Kira to know that the Demon King Castle reflected that.

Here we go.

I snip my fingers at the big door to open it.

In the hall, all the demons, except the children in the castle, were on the left and right sides.

Fear, anxiety, disgust, hostility, hatred, all kinds of malice directed at the brave.

I will instruct the demons on the left and right not to touch them.

He walks slowly and slowly and sits on the throne.

Velk was also next to the throne and gently lowered Lucis. Lucis grips the bottom of Velcro's clothes.

Kira stares at me as she enters the room.

“Welcome, Kill Latour. Let's start a dialogue between humans and demons.”

"Ahh..."

Thus, the dialogue between the demon king and the brave began.
