Welcome to the Impregnable Demon King Castle ~The Black Mage Who Got Kicked Out of the Hero Party Due to His Unnecessary Debuffs Gets Welcomed by the Top Brass of the Demon King's Army~

[Unyielding brave] Altruit.

About a decade ago, he was the leader of a party that ranked first in the world, albeit only for one year.

Of course, it's been ten years since I last watched it, so I can feel the passage of time in its appearance.

Nevertheless, he is young enough not to think he has passed fifty.He's still training his adventurer, so he probably hasn't missed his training.

If I were told to dive into the dungeon, my expectations would be far better than my fears.

Looking at it like this, it still resembles Les.No, the other way around.

But I couldn't see it at first glance because my hair and eyes were different colors.

Les is a dark blue reminder of the deep sea, but he has brown hair and eyes of the same color.

"Hmm? Ah, Lace looks like her mother."

Altruit says that you saw it in my eyes. [M]

I may have looked too slowly.

"Ah, no... I'm sorry"

"No, no, you realized everything without anyone telling you.Does that mean there's something similar about me and my son?

I can't think of anything that Les himself told me. [M]Does it feel like Leith leaked it to Aerial and from him to Altruit?

There is no doubt that no one will tell you.

Because I asked Phoenix, but I certainly had a feeling of pre-vision.That's...

"There's a shadow on my face..."

"Hmm! I'm glad to hear that.I'll tell him next time. "

He laughs like a child.

"I'm sorry about the excitement, but why don't you have Lemé sit down first?"

What we have now is a private room in a restaurant.

Unlike open spaces like eating and drinking, there are considerations such as partitions to protect the privacy of customers.

"! Yes, I'm sorry.Come on, sit down.Unless you don't like it, of course. "

No way!

I heard a louder voice than I thought.

I sit opposite them in a red face. [M]

Aerial and Altruit sat side by side.

What is the situation with the old and new number one meal...?

They're not just strong, they're both aspirational beings.It also makes me nervous.

"Sorry to bother you today.I heard from Air Real that my son is obsessed with you and I wanted to meet him once if I could. "

"No, it's an honor to meet you..."

"Ahahah, you're a good boy."

"I'm not saying this in disgrace.He's a fan of yours. "

I nodded to Aerial's supplement. [M]

"Oh? I'm glad.I didn't know young people like you knew that. "

"I used to look at it when I was a kid."

"Whoa. That's... disgusting."

Sure enough, kids like [Brave One] who casts a flashy spell.

There are many children who stand around with a muddy smell who say that they are not well dressed.

"I was dressed up.I was always given courage. "

I looked fine in front of Phoenix, but the fight with the crowd was always a bumpy heart.

Still, I'm here to help, so I can't lose.

Though he is not a strong person who can rush to defeat everyone in an instant.

Whatever you do, it serves the purpose of helping.Like the indomitable hero who never gives up on attacking a dungeon.

Mr. Altreet took it very seriously this time.

"Well... then, I'm glad I was an adventurer."

"I'm the same as Leme."

"Ahahah, you've become quite honest."

Speaking of which... Air Real used to say he was friends with Les' father.

I don't think there was any particular exchange of information.

However, Aerial is calling me to tell her, and she has been close to me for a long time.

"That's right, don't forget when we first met."

"The boy who said, 'I'm not going to be a brave man,' is now ranked first in the world."

Aerial scratched her cheek embarrassed when Altruit told her to tease her.

"... you haven't changed."

"I heard they were friends."

"Ah, even a friend.I'm the strongest brave man now, but in the old days... don't look at me like that, I don't want to destroy your image, okay? "

It may be taken for granted.

Everyone has more than one face.There is a difference between the face at work and the face at home.

More detail, the face when you're with a lover, the face when you're with a friend, the face when you're with your family... how can some people be divided into winds?

When you are with a colleague, when you are with a junior, when you are on a video board (TV).

When you're with an older friend you've known for a long time.

It is very difficult to see Aerial's face.

Because he is the top adventurer and the eldest of all.

"It's not an old story today, it's what Lemé wanted."

"Ahahah, that's right.I'm sorry, I told you a little bit about my son. "

"Yes"

"That's a little... you don't have to worry about this."

I don't think I should talk about his troubles. [M]

However, Mr. Altreet seems to be aware of this situation.

Of course.

Because he's been watching everything that Les is going through.

"... did you tell him that?

"Of course. It's just... pathetic, but you can't keep your mouth shut."

"Ahh...."

Les' aim is to prove his correctness by being successful in the way of the [indomitable brave].

Mr Altreet chose to retire because of his presence.That's something that Leis can't forgive.

In the first place, Mr. Altreet does not believe that his retirement was in error.

There are conflicting opinions, and Leith has no intention of responding to the discussion or persuasion.

As a result, his son ignores his father.

"I wonder if this is also a period of rebellion..."

Altruit is depressed and easy to understand.

"No...."

In other words, I think it feels like I don't really respect my father...

He thinks his father is strong and cool enough to deny himself.

"When I tell Lemé, say, 'If you like the words of the ancestors so much, you might have ears to listen to.'"

Even if Aerial had heard from Leis himself that I had noticed his father.

Apparently, he hasn't talked about the conversation since.

"These things, you know, can be extra complicated for a party?

Yeah.

Nod.

When I decided to leave the Phoenix Party.Of course, Phoenix stopped me, and then he contacted me by email to follow up with me.

But it wasn't my best friend's words that saved my depressed heart, but the healthy smile of the fruit shop girl.

Sometimes things get better and feelings are saved thanks to people unrelated to a problem.

"Just...."

I get annoyed. [M]

That alone seems to have made Altruit understand.

Oh, you couldn't do that.

Maybe I expected it in the middle of the day.

"I'm sorry I can't help you."

"No, no, it's not really like asking people.I feel more sorry for the fact that I was already involved. "

"Lace...."

I think I should say it again. [M]

"It's okay, why don't you tell me?

"Lace-kun... Lace-kun is wrong.I find it difficult to change it in words. "

I'm stubborn.

Altruit is grinning helplessly.

"Reason can be shrugged or bounced away.Because people can have their own things.But the reality is different.Of course, each person can be said to be perceived differently, but for example, losing is losing.If you change your mind, you won't win.Because I have a clear judgment. "

"Yeah."

"I wonder if the fact that you can't do it in that way can only make you realize the reality that you can't do it in that way."

"Huh. I mean, if he loses in Raid, he'll look back at his actions?

He strokes his jaw with interest.

"If you lose the way you think you're right, or..."

"I see. But my son is bad at giving up.No matter how many times you lose to Air Real, you're going to win. "

"If his goal is to be an [indomitable brave man], I think exit is very heavy.Raid fights have no choice but not to deliver. "

"... that's right.Maybe you're right. "

It is impossible to achieve the goal of winning in the end.

I am not a child who despises it.Personality and purpose.

For a moment, I felt a shadow on Altruit's expression.

But at the next moment, I'm squeezing my shoulders.

"Well, there's nothing we can do.I can only hope for the people of Demon King Castle. "

"Hey, what about a father who expects his son to lose?"

"Ultimate happiness is more important than immediate victory and defeat."

"Hmm... I want to do something about it, but I really need to get to the game."

"Ahahah, of course.I need you to challenge me with the intention of completely attacking.What Reme is saying is that if he loses on top of that, it might be an opportunity to review himself, right?

"Yes"

"Yeah, that's right.I can't help thinking about what I can't do.I'll keep an eye on you until the day comes when you can talk again. "

In conclusion, the next topic moved to the tag tournament.

I was nervous at first, and I was able to listen to my favorite strategy videos on the way.

The dream time passed quickly, when it was time to dissolve.

"Reme-kun"

It was time for Ms. Aerial to stand in the bathroom.

What is it?

Say hello to my son.

…………

"Well, if there's anything I can do.But I can't go to his party. "

He has a gentle smile.

"Lord Lucifer has blessed his successor."

――――

It is the dungeon name of the master.

[Demon King] Lucifer is the name of the most powerful monster.

Sometimes I can't act aggressively here is an unexpected line, but the evidence is that I'm still immature.

"After all, you're a good boy.Be honest and never lie. "

"... why?"

"I'm sorry, I'm almost guessing.I don't want anyone to notice, so I want you to rest assured.Of course I won't say anything else. "

You got caught up in a bluff.

But I don't want to blame it.

"Magic?

Earlier, Mr. Aerial said he was associated with Lucifer when he first met me.

"No... I wonder if it's a sign.I've fought him before.I was surprised to see you. [M]I didn't know it was over the screen, but when I looked directly at it, I was surprised.A tremor similar to that of confronting the demon king ran.I don't know about the situation, but it's amazing if you're the heir.I respect the strength of your will. "

If it's not rational, there's nothing you can do about it.

Some people have a special feeling.

"You shouldn't tell your friends and your son's enemies, but I'm counting on them."

"... Leis is a wonderful brave man."

I see.

"That's why I'll knock you down.I'm sure you'll be a better brave man. "

"Ahahah, as a single viewer, I'm looking forward to it."

Just then, Mr. Aerial came back.

Oh, that sounds like a lot of fun.

"Yeah, but it's a secret."

That said, he put his standing index finger on his lips and closed one eye.

I nodded bitterly. [M]

◇

"How was it? That's a good girl, Lemé."

When Lemé, who broke up in front of the store, turned around the corner and disappeared, I talked to an old friend.

"Ah, I nod that you invited me.I hid it surprisingly well, but I'm definitely training. "

"His sense of upliftment is endless.Besides, his heart will never break. "

"Sure, if I get kicked out of a child-friendly party when I get to fourth place, I'll break my heart."

"I guess there was something going on with them."

"... well, especially in this era.[Black Mage] That's a lot of hard stuff. "

Even [Hero], there is a difference in public interest between spirits and not spirits.

The impression I get from Position (Job) is quite handsome.

"Still, he's going to come up.I'm going to get over it. "

Very well. It's good to have competitors. "

"That's right. One more pleasure."

I'm a little jealous.

The line, which seemed to be a joke, seemed to me sincere.

"Speaking of which, you know Lord Farrow, don't you?

Well, that's because I made my son my age.

He said there's something interesting about you, too.

"All right. Such an old man."

You don't have to do it now.

He would have laughed and refused that he was retired.

But that day was different.

"... think a little"

Ah.

Maybe it is because of Reme.

With that in mind, we walk out.
