Timishoara put the chimps she was grabbing on the floor.

And then he came to me and bashed me in the shoulder.

"That's Arla! If you talk to them, they'll understand!

Apparently Timi thought me and Damien were having a discussion.

Damien is certainly intact.

I have a chimp falling around me, but I don't seem to care.

"That's the thing. If we discuss everything in good faith, we can make sense of each other."

"Mm-hmm. Peace is a good thing."

Timi laughs in a good mood when I answer appropriately.

"Was it a discussion?

Stef seemed concerned about the rolling chimps.

There's a lot to talk about.

"Mo."

Vivi and Morphy are nodding yeah.

Then says Damien with a pulled look.

"That's what we're talking about...?

Damian seemed to have some complaints.

But never mind that, Timi took the empty safe.

"Hmm?"

Crush the safe at the same time as the various teasing phrases "ah".

It crumbled like a cardboard box.

"I'm sorry. Damian and I did. This box has been crushed."

…………

Damian lost his voice and blued his face.

"The box looks sturdy and surprisingly brittle, so we have to be careful."

When I say that, Timi also seems to have reflected.

"Right. I'm sorry. Better make amends. How much?"

Timi tells me, Damian shakes his head.

"No, it's okay"

"Right. Is it good? I feel bad."

"No, it's really fine,"

Sit Damien in a chair looking frightened.

At that time, Sigishoara only showed her face from my nostalgia.

"Ria."

"Hi-no."

When he saw Sigi's adorable face, Damien trembled.

Maybe he's in a state of fear about everything.

"Thank you for responding to the discussion."

"... Yes"

"So, who's been telling you to buy spiritual stones?

"... I am the Demon King"

The gaze of everyone but Damien gathers on me.

Morphy and Sigi are looking at me. I tend to forget, but I'm the Demon King now.

But I have no idea.

"Is there someone else named Demon King?

"He?"

"No, never mind. Who is that demon king?

"... Around autumn, there is a guy who started living in Demon King's Castle. He now calls himself the Demon King."

"Heh. That's my first ear."

The one with a lot of nerve.

"Can I live in Demon King's Castle on my own?

Vivi's question is best.

"The king's deputy, there would be deputies with jurisdiction over the land, wouldn't there? Why aren't you telling me anything?

"I don't know. Are you getting bribes? You're being threatened."

Either way, the deputy doesn't seem to be able to govern the land well.

Maybe it's because of the lack of guards at the city entrance.

"You guys did whatever you wanted, too, because the deputy wouldn't say anything"

"That's right. Yes..."

"Is there something there?

"The Demon King is scarier than a deputy..."

Damian says that.

Having Damian, an executive of the Negri family, say so, is a great demon king, albeit self-proclaimed.

"Damien. Even guys like you have something to be afraid of?

"Huh?"

What are you talking about to Damien? I got this guy in my eye.

A little angry. That's why I stared.

"Chi, no. I'm more afraid of you than I am of the Demon King."

"That won't happen. I'm sweet."

"Soudesne"

Damian replies in one word.

In the meantime, let's get back to business.

"How has that self-proclaimed Demon King told you to get the Spirit Stone?

"The demon king's messenger came, and a spirit stone was put up for sale in the king's capital, so get it."

One month round trip from Wang Du.

A week after the Limmia Chamber of Commerce put it up for sale, until Tokul Torf said he wanted to buy it.

Obviously, it's weird.

I guess the self-proclaimed Demon King has a special means of travel, or means of communication.

Metastatic magic formation or call bracelet? Something else.

"Damien. How did you get in touch with Wang Du?

"If I'm ready to contact you, write from the demon king and tell him to send out the horse."

"I see, did you leave it up to you to contact the use of the self-proclaimed Demon King?"

"That's what I'm talking about"

Obviously not a fast horse. No matter how fast you rush the horse, you better watch it for over a week.

It is clear that you have some means.

Then we asked Damien about calling himself the Demon King.

Apparently, the self-proclaimed Demon King even collects taxes instead of deputies.

It could mean that the king's rule is not extended because he is too far from the king's capital.

"It would be a mistake for the kingdom to rule this land in the first place."

Maybe it is.

After hearing the whole thing, I tell Damien.

"Don't do anything wrong anymore."

"... ok"

It's a word I don't trust. But let's just leave it.

I am not a government constitution.

"I told you honestly, I'm gonna stop making you fall for it"

"Oh......"

"Any words of gratitude?

"... thanks"

"Okay. From now on, we're gonna change our minds and we're gonna do some serious business."

I smiled and bashed Damian in the shoulder.

"If you don't, your scary uncle might come and see you!

"Ah, oh. I'll be careful."

Damian looks reflective.

I'd like to hope I'll grow up for a while from now on.
