The Immortal Demon King and the Impaired Hero

Isaiyoi stares blindly at the wreckage of the demon clan who stumbled down on the ground and stuck his sword in his throat.

From his throat, he conveys his sword and constantly runs red blood, making the ground red and wet. That body that was groaning until just now doesn't move anymore. In less than a day its flesh will dissolve in the magic of the atmosphere and disappear completely.

"... so far"

I squirm unintentionally. No one answers that.

What this man and his people are looking for is largely predictable. Isaiyoi had the heart to stop the plot with dialogue, if possible, and with strength, if not possible. But the thought was literally thwarted by the self-harm of the man in front of him.

When I can seal my own mouth so cleanly, I'm impressed that I'm ready to look up with it. At the same time, he completely lost the means of negotiation, and Isaiyoi was truly troubled.

"I don't think it's going to be easy..."

Isaiyoi thought that this man was, in a way, like a messenger. The other side was willing to kill Isaiyoi from the start, but as for Isaiyoi, it was his mind to capture this man and step from there into the other's Negijo and bring him into negotiations.

I can't do that with this either. Isaiyoi is not bold enough to get into the dead body of a breathless man and proclaim "I want to negotiate" and so on. Besides, there's no way they're coming on board.

"Oh, my God..."

Unexpectedly holding his head, Isaiyoi looks up to heaven. When he left the inn, the moon, which was shining directly above him, was now largely inclined. Looks like I ate more time than I thought.

Isaiyoi takes a big deep breath once and switches.

"Back or..."

I don't need you here anymore. There's no point in staying here any longer than there's no sign of any other demon tribe.

Recover the thrown sword, glance at the body that is forming a blood build-up, and then proceed to the darkness from under the moonlight - realize that there was.

The man was leaking earlier that he was talking differently. That is to say, it suggests the existence of a fellow man other than him, and nothing more than that someone other than him was observing the trends of the Isaiyois.

So when and where was anyone watching Isaiyoi and the others?

When you're out of town at the request of the Adventurer Alliance, or the whole city?

No, it can't be. Either way, at the distance the other person realized Isaiyoi was a demon, there's no way Isaiyoi wouldn't be aware of the other person's existence.

Individuals with hidden, inherent abilities that hide the signs as a possibility? Inherent abilities would also make it possible to slip through Isaiyoi's senses.

So where is he now?

Whether you're hiding in your abilities and watching Isaiyoi's trends, or if you've already left this place, you haven't been here since the beginning, but you've been somewhere else.

So I thought, and a cold sweat flowed down Isaiyoi's back.

What if the target wasn't just Isaiyoi, but Yukata, who was with him? Suppose it was an accumulation to separate Isaiyoi and Sunset from each other from the edge. Now there may be the devil clan with Evening Incense.

"Evening incense...... ugh!"

It was frivolous. Such as offending a fool to ride lightly on the other person's invitation and away from Evening Incense.

Isaiyoi rushes out toward the city without shaping. I put up a defensive tie for once, but now he doesn't trust the tie very much because of the mistakes he made at the time when he overconfident the tie in the past. Plus, it's plain dragged that Evening Incense tore me apart.

"Stay safe...!"

Wishing Seika well, Isaiyoi walked through the woods like a wind.

At this time, if Isaiyoi had been in the same mental situation as usual, he would have noticed. But I couldn't afford to turn my attention to the slightest anomaly around him.

▼

The sun had already risen by more than half from the horizon when Isaiyoi dragged back from the forest to the city to maximize the Demon King's specs.

As I prayed for Yuka's safety, I jumped into Isaiyoi's eyes when I returned to the inn.

"Gu Gu... Ugh..."

He looked like Evening Incense sitting up at the entrance to the room and crying.

"No, what is this situation...?"

Evening incense stares sharply at Isaiyoi, who shrugged unexpectedly, not knowing why.

"Whatever, you're not going outside because of your junction, you idiot!"

Yukaka beats the line with tears. So Isaiyoi finally understood this tragedy.

Perhaps Yuka woke up and tried to go outside for some reason. But the junction was stretched and I couldn't get out. Isaiyoi's defense results will block everything, both inside and out. As a result, Yuka was trapped in the defensive junction that Isaiyoi left behind.

Isaiyoi hastily lifted the line.

At the next moment, an intense blow slammed into his defenseless dovetail.

"Guha!?"

In a blow out, Isaiyoi is blown away and strikes his entire body hard against the opposite wall.

- This I couldn't react. So...!?

Though I was completely alarmed, I didn't expect Evening Incense to beat me up. Isaiyoi groans at the severe pain that spreads from the dovetail and the dull pain that strikes his whole body, secretly stunned in his heart. I don't feel that Evening Incense's blow is tougher than the Demonic Thunder Strike.

"I can't believe you had a hobby for locking up girls...!? Fuck you, pervert!"

"It's still a misunderstanding. I don't have that hobby, and so put that clenched fist down...!"

Isaiyoi with immortal flesh that can withstand even thunderstorms, but still feels the pain just like a regular person. I'm also used to the pain compared to a regular person, but Isaiyoi doesn't have the hobby to be beaten if he likes. Hobbies of locking women up, of course.

Isaiyoi desperately forgives Evening Incense for squeezing her fist firmly without chasing her in a terrible direction.

But no words of illustration arrive in the ears of Evening Incense in the state of excitement, and he grabs them with his face turning bright red. Isaiyoi turns away and avoids, but cannot stand around well due to the narrow passage and poor position.

"Oh, my God! Beat me up!"

"You're the one who's gonna make a big deal out of me..."

"Oh wow!?"

Something happened that I was afraid of.

It was Isaiyoi, who had fisted Yuka several times, but the fact that it was a narrow passage caught the two legs and fell straight into the common passage.

A covered position on the other in the form of one falling from his back and the other sticking his arm up the aisle. I don't know what it is, but unfortunately Isaiyoi is down there and Evening Incense is up there.

"Normally the other way around..."

I'm turning the table into a piece of wood dust or beating the oak out of me, but this is still my maiden, Yukaka. Were you expecting some of those developments to become a maiden?

"Do I know..."

I'm sighing all the time saying I'm tired over here. I rushed back out of the woods to show Evening Incense how to do this. I can't complain because the cause is on me, but I still couldn't forbid to sigh.

Did the unexpected trouble make Yuka calm, too? There was no more rumbling. But they noticed something extra when they calmed down.

"... yeah? Aren't you burning?"

For a moment, I didn't understand what they pointed out, but Isaiyoi swims his eyes in remembrance of the sudden devouring of a thunderbolt from the demon clan. Perhaps that blow caused some of the robes to burn.

Late when I think of it, I can turn a frigid eye from Evening Incense.

"Where the hell were you?"

"No, this is..."

I rush to find the words of deception, but I get upset because of all the happenings that keep me up, and Isaiyoi gets stuck in words.

Looking down at Isaiyoi like that, Yuka narrows her eyes surprisingly.

"I'll change the way I ask. Where the hell were you fighting?"

Have they noticed?

What do you care about the sharp incense? I can easily imagine that Isaiyoi was fighting someone somewhere, given that he rushed back without a pattern after scorching the robe.

"Is there anybody near this city who can get a blow to you?"

No, you normally put a blow in it, too, and Isaiyoi enjoyed wanting to get into it.

I certainly don't understand Evening Incense's concerns. Even if there are people who can strike Isaiyoi with unscrupulous strength, it's more of a threat than a dragon.

If you don't allow any deception, Evening Incense brings your face so close that your nose tip sticks from the covered condition. Do you feel no shame or anything for approaching yourself at Demon King's Castle, even though you had such a beginner reaction?

Isaiyoi, by contrast, did not uncommonly hide his agitation in the face of the current approaching Evening Incense, and struck the back of his head on the floor of the aisle in an attempt to reflexively turn away from his face.

"What are you doing..."

"Whose fault is it..."

Isaiyoi scolds Evening Incense, which stares down into a stirring mix. But Yuka doesn't even care about such a gaze, she asks me to hunt her down.

"What the hell were you fighting while I was asleep?"

"No, that's..."

A sharp glance of evening incense shoots through Isaiyoi.

Isaiyoi exhaled bitterly, trying to open his mouth reluctantly.

"- Is this a training ground...?"

The air froze in my voice, which sounded unexpected.

Isaiyoi and Seika raise their faces in an unstoppable motion and turn their eyes to the Lord of their voices. At the end of their gaze, Lilith seemed troubled, and then she stood with a slightly agitated and mixed look.

"Ri, Mr. Lilith!? This is, uh... different..."

Curly reddened her cheeks and rushed to try to excuse herself, Evening Incense, but Lilith waves her blindfold to block it. It's like, don't even tell everyone you know.

"Fine, I know. I won't tell anyone what I saw here, so you can rest assured. You still have a strong mouth."

"So, no! Because I can't feel safe at all!"

Evening incense that screams close to screaming even the earliest. Lilith laughs coughingly at such an expected reaction.

"It's okay, it's just a joke. I want to give priority to this case now."

Yuka swallowed two sentences all the way to Lilith, who strikes and changes and says with a serious face. I want to explain the situation thoroughly, if possible, so that no misunderstandings can arise, but I realized from Lilith's expression that something serious had happened.

"What happened?"

"Don't be surprised, I want you to hear it"

Yeah, in advance, Lilith said in a harsh tone.

"- The demonic army is invading Termus."
