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~

"Sorry to bother you.I'm an adventurer, I'm Lily of the Hunter. "

"Ah, welcome.My name is Mira. I do Vampires and other things at Demon King Castle. "

A kind of awkward elf beauty and a vampire beauty with a full smile.

Hee, this is Lemé's place.

Phoenix, you're not enjoying your visit.

Don't you feel the pressure from Mira-san?

This is my room in the dorm.

Mira, who became a cohabitant in the middle of the day, welcomed Lily and Phoenix.

Ah, how did this happen...?

I remembered the conversation when I told Mira about the meeting.

Are you meeting Phoenix and Lily?

Yeah, look, I've talked to you before.I need your help as a monster. "

Hmm, that's... yes.Um, Mr. Reme?

Hmm?

Does that mean that Lemé's time, which is not working time, is allocated to his old companions?

…… I guess so.

But, Mr. Reme. I wonder if Lemé and I went out after the raid. "

That's right.

"Of course, meetings are important.You're going to understand the importance of that in conjunction with me, right?But after all, I'm going to use Lemé's private time for his old buddies.Normally, it doesn't matter.Because Lemé's time is Lemé's. "

Uh-huh.

"What bothers me here is that part of Reme's time was reserved for me as a reward."

I see...

So, what did those two do to Reme?Was there a contribution just to interrupt the appointment...?

Eh......I think I understand what Mira-san is saying.But I can't let you see me. "

"Yes, you already know that.If Reme doesn't bother me, I have a suggestion. "

I don't think so.

…… Oh, thank you.So, I hope I can join you on the spot, too. "

"Ah, that's right...Yeah, I don't think they would either. "

Is there a problem here?

"Eh... but this is the residence of the Demon King Army, right?I wonder if adventurers can come in. "

Are you an adventurer too, Lemé?

Sure...Well, if I gather somewhere and use my magic from there, they won't know... "

May I ask that?

Yeah, I'll tell you what.But why again?

"Of course, I want to show it... to my old friends to see how Lemé lives today.After we leave the party, we can live a full life.It's like my selfishness. "

I see.Okay. "

- Well, that's how it feels.

I don't think Mira's words are false, but I had the impression that the reason matched the purpose of inviting Phoenix and Lily home.

Phoenix and I met once after the Tenth World War, but that's all.

To some extent, I fought as Carmilla with other people.

"Don't dare, if you both go up."

That's why now.

Yes, please come up.

Under Mira-san's guidance, we proceed to the living room.

"Nevertheless, Reme, if you're going this far, would you mind telling me?

Phoenix somehow whispers to me.

What are you talking about?

"Do you live with Mira-san?

"... I didn't, and if I did, why would I tell you that?"

I really don't.About half a cohabitation, status quo.Probably.

"Generally speaking, I don't think it's funny to talk about my relationship with a close friend."

"I've never heard of love from you, but I don't think we were close."

Phoenix loves everyone!Something like that will be news soon, and, well, it's mostly lies and misunderstandings.But Phoenix is quite popular.What a Phoenix.

However, we did not shake such a topic from ourselves, nor did we ask the other person.

Until recently.

Recently, Phoenix has clearly floated.

Are you so happy that a close woman has appeared to be your best friend?

"It's just a general story, yeah.It may not apply to us. "

I think so.

I'm afraid this will keep you quiet for a while.

Well, me and Phoenix are fine.Regardless of the topic, it is a friendly relationship.

Lily thinks she's going to fight as a monster.

"Eh, yeah.There are people who really want to fight, and I have to rely on Reme.... "

"That's right.--By the way, at what point did you decide to rely on Reme? "

"Eh...? Well, is that... someone who was at the same party?I had a chance to know that Lemé was the magical king's army chief of staff..... "

The chance to know was when we dropped them off for a new city after defeating the Phoenix party.

The plan led by Mira-san summoned the monster companions with the ring during the drop-off.

"Oh, but if I remember correctly - I was a fan of Lemé, so I was checking the trends - didn't Lemé get kicked out of the Phoenix Party?

"Ugh... Yes... with that perception, I think there's no mistake."

"Even if it is certain that the warrior [Aruba] led it, did the other three oppose it?Of course you did, didn't you?

"... the opposite, just Phoenix."

"Then the other two were in favour of banishment.Is that so?

"... I'm embarrassed, but at that point I didn't realize the strength of Reme."

We fought together, huh?

Mira's voice is gentle.But from that word, I feel something spicy.

Phoenix tries to say something, but in this case it's not the right person.

I take control of my best friend and open my mouth. [M]

"Mira-san.I've told you before, but that's why I tried to hide it in the first place. "

Lily has atrophied.

I tried to softly forgive Mira-san.

"That's rational, Reme.I'm talking about feelings. "

If you are a fan, the fact that someone supporting you has been coldly treated and kicked out at the party is painful for any reason.

If the expelled side relied on the expelled side, you can't be calm in your heart.

It may be natural to be angry that it is not too convenient.

But I can't let Lily, who became a corner friend, get annoyed by her self-loathing again...

If Mira-san talks about her feelings...

"Mira-san's feelings are pleasant.But I don't want you to say "bad things" about leaving the party a long time ago. "

"... Mr. Reme?

"Because I missed it at that time, and I was able to see Mira-san again."

――――

And then I met Cash because I was kicked out of the city at that time.

I became friends with Mr. Blitz at the fruit shop.

I was able to join all the Demon King armies.

I also met everyone in the "Beginner and Beginner Dungeons."

[Silver Ridge Hero] Nicolas and I went to the tag tournament together.

"The encounters and experiences since I left the party have been so pleasant and warm to me.That was painful at the time, but now I think it's good.If Mira-san thinks so too... "

"Though I think...!

The anger that had leaked from Mira-san's inside blew up without trace, and there was only joy.

"Lily and Phoenix, what can I get you?

Apparently, the problem of feelings has been resolved.

Lily seems confused.

Phoenix has a smell.

Incidentally, Phoenix and Mira-san had the same words when we first met, but Phoenix apologized too straight and Mira-san's poison was removed... what a result.

That's Phoenix, but Mira-san opened her mouth when she went to the kitchen, so I looked at it.

Don't say anything.

Although it's all true, it's so embarrassing to say such a line in front of your friends and best friends that a fire comes out of your face.

"Um... lemme"

Shock, my arm is pulled.It's Lily.

She put her face to my ear. [M]Because of the height difference, Lily is on her toes.But it's not enough, so I'll bend my knees and handle it. [M]

"Thank you."

Apparently, I thought you were covering for Mira-san.

Breathing on the tympanic membrane somehow tickles.

At that time, there was a gap between my ear and Lily's lips, a slight tear in that space.

Hyun, something's coming through.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Because it looked like an insect was flying."

A knife of blood pierces the wall as I gaze towards the sound.

"Sit down and wait, will you?

Yes, I will.

Lily had a hairline on the top of her head, but she saw it fall helplessly.

... that was so fast.Rather than throwing it, it felt like it was ejected.

That's Blood Manipulator .The ability to manipulate blood is out of control.

I didn't want you to exercise it in the living room.

Lily sat across from me to stop irritating Mira. [M]

Phoenix thinks about it a little, and then she's next to Lily.

I wondered for a moment whether they would be neighbors of the same sex or neighbors of the same affiliation.

When Mira returned with the tray, she checked the available seat - next to me - and smiled satisfactorily.

Apparently, we all got the right answer.

Thank you, Mira.

"That's fine.It's what I like to do. "

A cup of tea will be prepared for everyone.

Mira-san sat next to me.

"But, Mr. Reme..."

Yeah?

"Is it okay to use you two for defense?There will be no problem with strength, but will there be anxiety in terms of cooperation?

The Phoenix Party has now begun to work with Raid participants in training, including commentary work on television and events organized by Fellow, the father of the Devil King.

On this occasion, the dungeon strategy was temporarily paused - but only during the raid match - to do more work, such as magazine coverage and commercial appearances, which were usually hand-selected and only partially undertaken.

Regardless of the cooperation with me, it is difficult to cooperate with my subordinates.I can't train at Demon King Castle either.

"Ah, we need to talk about that.This time, the two of you will move separately.It's not like summoning at the same time.Lily hit Suli exactly as she wanted. "

"Yes, thank you again.I will surely defeat him and contribute to victory. "

Lily seems to think that her native Suli keeps fighting behind bars.

Lily, who wanted to fight him, decided to summon him as a monster this time.

Phoenix...

"Oh, I know.I'm dealing with him (,). "

Phoenix nodded with a smile.

Mira-san's eyebrows twitched.

"That's my best friend.Is it a single line of sight? "

"From my point of view, you are the one who feels envious.Because it is not dependent on the time stack, it is bound by a strong bond with Reme. "

Well, no.

Mira is in a good mood in an instant.

... it looks like he learned how to treat Mira-san sooner or later.

That's humanity's strongest. The adaptability is amazing.

Lily also looked like she was "I see."

"Nevertheless, raid fights are quite exciting."

"The dungeon that defeated you is a raid fight while the public is still interested.Of course, the content is also a big reason. "

It is difficult to say that if the contents are good, it can become very popular.

It is not uncommon for a party to have a very interesting strategy from my peers' eyes to have two digits of playback.

Mr. Fellow would not have been such a crowded event had it not been for his plan.

This may be the venue, but now everyone is worried about the end of the offensive.

Some people would say that if you gather popular parties, you'll get the numbers, but they're showing excitement beyond just collecting them.

The more you attract people who aren't usually interested, the easier it is to tell.

Speaking of which, Cash also said to his sister and sister, "I want you to sneak up on the results."

I was asked the same thing when I showed my face to Mr. Blitz.

Cash seems to keep his secrets tight.

"I shouldn't have said this, but I'll destroy them all."

"[Flaming Hero] betrays mankind?"

"I'm the one who's going to take you down."

Ha, and I laugh belligerently.

"Next time, I'll win."

Fufu, Phoenix smiles happily.

"Besides, I don't think helping my friends is a betrayal."

He shouted arrogantly.

"... a shameful one"

"Reme, your face is red."

"No, no, it's not, right?

"Reme has always been like this."

"Can you please elaborate on that?

Mira-san's eyes glittered.

... Speaking of which, since my private information is not very public, is Phoenix a treasure trove for fans?

"Don't say anything," he said.It's called heartbeat.

Yes, for example, when I was seven...

I didn't tell you...!

Where have you been so far?

Ah, let's get this over with.

I'm a little forced, but I'm going to move on.

Mira-san was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't pinch his mouth.

"How do we move through the eighth and ninth floors?Well, I wonder when Phoenix and Lily will be summoned this time.I've talked to the person in charge about Lily, but I think we should face each other again. "

"Yes, yes.... well, did she (,,) agree?

"Yeah. 'Funny.I said, "Will forest elves fall into demons?"

…………

"And Phoenix. It's your subpoena - I can do it (...)"

Phoenix was not surprised.

"I thought you could handle it."

He says he secured the magic of summoning Flame Warrior in a short period of time, but he takes it for granted.

Well, I don't feel bad about being trusted.

"Of course, I'll come out."

Mira-san said.

"Uh-huh. Nice to meet you."

"Now we're going to dedicate ourselves to a complete victory, right?

I'm looking forward to it.

Yes, Herr was back in Raid with the right of resurrection.

As I continue, I will reflect on the battle that has already ended in the sixth and seventh tiers.
