Akuyaku Reijo Nanode Rasubosu o Katte Mimashita

I've thought it right. I had to think.

Otherwise, I'm sure I can't stand.

I can't have the courage to think that the person I follow might be wrong, or the hope that I want to run away somewhere.

"Sign up for a secret conversation from the church to the Demon King......?

"Oh. Sorry for the sudden, but this evening. I can't help it if they tell me I must while I'm in Mircetta, where the church headquarters are. They're nominating you as escorts, but will you follow me?

"Of course, because it's my job"

Kyle nods back as he shrugs his shoulders and laughs at Walt for being careless.

"If you have orders."

"Then let's ask. Keith has already been informed, but don't let the others know. Of course, to Eileen. It's a secret conversation."

That's what the Demon King ordered with no heart or pleasure. Kyle softly frowns when more than half a month goes by about the escort and Kyle is so badly reminded that this demon king unexpectedly behaves like an eagle without public knowledge.

(No way, you don't understand the importance of floating around in the rare word "secret talk"...?

You must have been concerned about the same thing, Walt noting the sigh.

"Don't be alarmed, Master Claude. The other side is the church. You don't even write about business, do you?

"Walt! That's not a good attitude to suspect. He said it might be a settlement."

"What? You know something?

"Oh, there's no way!

Seen in frigidity, he turned a blind eye. There's no way I can tell you.

This secret conversation is due to the fact that the bishop secretly sent a letter - a raised parent and beneficial person of Kyle - but read Kyle's letter and contemplated re-establishing a relationship with the Demon King. Kyle is internally asked by the bishop himself in a letter: 'I want you to cooperate because I want to discuss it with the Demon King, as you say'.

Nevertheless, the church is not a single rock either. The bishop was also only the head of a single faction, which took the form of secret talks because it was not an agreement of the whole Church. There is no reason for the Demon King to be suspicious. Kyle and the others' assassination orders have not yet been withdrawn.

(but it shouldn't be bad for the Demon King's side either)

When it comes to crusading demons, the Holy Knights under the direct authority of the Emperor are famous for undertaking them, but then the church undertakes routine demonic exorcisms because the provinces are so late. Reconciling with the Church means we can discuss how to adjust around it.

It's a famous story that Claude Jeanne Hermeia was born as the Demon King and the demon has quieted down, but still, it's not like there has been no demon damage before. There are many demons that cannot be distinguished from beasts in the first place. Some demons did not abandon their harm to humans, and vice versa, villages were sometimes attacked by demons mad at people who smuggle fish. If we work well with the Church, we can solve the problems around it efficiently.

If we really want demons and humans to coexist, it's an important negotiation. That's supposed to happen, but I can't see any tension or intent from the Demon King. I'm more nervous about Kyle.

(If this doesn't work, we'll...)

I glance at Walt standing right next to me.

I'm sure this man wants to be here. But if we can make that wish without becoming traitors, the Church and the Demon King will have to join hands. Either way, when they say something that waters down this negotiation, the structured Kyle is revealed.

"Walt's concerns are good, but for once, it says something that looks like an errand."

"Huh? What is it?"

"Don't tell me."

"Oh, is that right? I'm sure it's none of your business."

"But if they offer to settle, they'll take it."

Claude loosens her mouth with a cheek cane on Kyle with her gaze back. Walt looked frightened.

"That's all the assassins you've been given the other day. You seem like that a lot."

"Walt! You've been doing so much extra since just now -"

"You mean you think this secret is a trap? Walt."

To Claude's inquiry, Walt gazed, then sighed.

"- It would be normal to think so. You've been used to dealing with all those assassins. Oh, that's a routine tea thing, isn't it? I mean, they've been after lives all the time from churches."

"What if?

"Then it can't be now and the church reconciles. You won't have to go all the way to the trap. I understand your strength, but you are a great enemy."

"It's okay, you guys will protect me. Didn't I?"

I was assured with my true face, and it even solidified to Kyle. Strange embarrassment creeps up after that.

(... this one, really)

I believe it. ourselves.

Walt turns in the wrong direction and answers like a shank.

"... Saudesne. We're the ones who have a hard time with that."

"I want you to be patient with that"

"You're not willing to admonish your actions, are you?

"Walt...... I know what you're trying to say but it's rude"

"I know there's a lot going on, but the church would be like your parents' house. Then I want to get along."

My heart was squeezed tight for the reason I was told calmly.

I've never thought of it that way before. - Yeah, but maybe that's what I hoped for. Walt wants to escape, too, I'm sure he does.

If the Church had been a peaceful, gentle and lovable place, how happy it would have been. If it weren't for that kind of place, like giving up that I'd have to be here. That's what you think, because it's certain.

"... If Master Claude says so, I have no objection. I know it's sweet."

"Of course, it's my acceptable story."

Often Claude puts it that way, but its tolerance is wide. At least Kyle never saw an angry demon king for real.

(No, I was angry when Iri was lost...)

I don't seem to know. It's acceptable.

Either way, it seems the Demon King will be on the Church's invitation. I was relieved there.

(All you have to do is negotiate well with the bishop)

This person in front of me doesn't have to be assassinated. Maybe even Walt can stay here.

- I don't know what I want to do, though.

"By the way, what shall I take as a souvenir?"

"What? Souvenirs......"

Is it something bribery? I didn't think he was the one selling that kind of flair, so I accidentally ask him back.

The demon king threw a piece of paper on the executive desk with the date and time of the secret conversation, and smiled.

"As I was saying, church people are like your parents, aren't they? I have to say hello."

Walt and Kyle sigh at the same time to Claude, who is the master's quarterback.

The Demon King is still off somewhere today, after all.
