I set the pipe on fire.

I had sex with Gamekin in the morning.

She was sleeping right next to the bed. I was sticky like a child all the time during sex. Like trying to fill a place where there is no emotional connection with physical pleasure.

Beyond the window, the sun was already setting.

“ ……. ”

The Demon Kings are all self-conscious and autistic. There is a sickness in the mind.

The reason is simple, because I feel the feelings of others.

It is unclear whether I feel this emotion, my emotion or someone else's. The boundary is blurry.The Demon King doesn't have a shelter that is naturally surrounded by ordinary people.

Extremely, the Demon King does not have confidence in himself even when in love. I feel like I love this person, but maybe it's just their feelings. I just mistook the affection of the person who likes me as my affection....

People say, "What am I?"

Demon Kings, however, advise in the opposite direction, saying, 'What am I?' Yes, for the Demon King, he was not firmly given himself from the beginning. I have to find out for myself.

or create.

He desperately builds something to call himself.

Barbatos is obsessed with the objective of conquest. Pymon seriously pursued the ideals of equality for all races. Even Marvas, who regards mediation between factions as a vocation.

That's how they acquire their identity.

It doesn't matter if the entire human race perishes in the process. It's okay to kill your own kind. If you can only maintain your identity, it's good to sacrifice hundreds of millions.

You have no choice but to think your balance is broken. Psychopathic, delusional.

So pathological.

However, there are also some that are beautiful because of the pathology.

“Dantalian……. ”

Gamigine sleeps through the cracks. As she sweeps her hair gently, she turns around one time to see if she feels good.

This is my fanatical obsession with what I think is mine. This commitment was the same in the case of a lover, not a thing. That's how I understood Gamekin's love.

Some would say it's not love, it's obsession. What does it matter?

Gamekin is a fun partner for sex, and she has plenty of room for it. It doesn't matter to me whether the feelings that connect us are love or obsession.

I whispered to her quietly.

“I love you, Gamygyn. ”

It was because of my mood, but I felt like Gamigine was a little flinchy. I stroked her hair with a smile for a while.

I was playing dinner at the window.

Rumors of a huge uproar in the imperial palace spread throughout the countryside.

It was a natural consequence that I did not silence the maids who experienced the incident. Women had a natural talent for spreading rumors, and among them, the maids were exceptional.

The day after the incident, all the Demon Kings who were staying in the Imperial Palace and the Islands (+2493; ) heard the news.

Here are the rumors they've heard: Gamigine barges in to protest something against the Dantalian palace white, and Pymon interrupts her. Eventually, Gamekin poured out attack magic on the palace white....

“Something has come. ”

The Demon Kings accepted it that way.

The Empire now stands in awe of the Demon Kings of its own faction, no matter who sees it. It could be expressed as almost non-affiliative.

Horses were appointed to the various branches of the Empire as great bureaucrats, and only unrelated Demon Kings were selected. From the Imperial Guard to the Chief Justice Officer. All of them were either followers of the plain or of the mountain tribe, followers of the neutral tribe.

The politics were so clear that the fishbowl was dumbfounded.

A voice of anxiety arose among the factions, "Don't you need someone a little more partisan?" “At least the lawyers should elect someone who has no political interests."

In response, Dantalian clearly argued.

As if he had prepared it in advance, he published a booklet called About twenty pages of books were scattered to the Demon Kings.

─ There are two kinds of neutrality in politics. It is passive neutral and active neutral. Passive neutrality is literally putting a partisan figure in the lead position, leaving a soft distance to politics.

─ However, this ultimately relies solely on individual integrity and honesty. The great institution of the state depends solely on the virtues of the individual. In this case, how can we respond when neutrality is compromised? I have no choice but to recommend and emphasize virtue to individuals.

─ Ultimately, passive neutrality subverts a huge dimensional problem of institutions to individual problems, internal moral problems.

─ Contrary to this, I support active neutrality.

─ Aggressive neutrality is the distribution of all positions based on particularity thoroughly. For example, if a country has three factions, it divides its duties exactly in a ratio of 1: 1: 1. This is aimed at solving the problem of the system as an institution.

─ If neutrality is impaired, we should simply share a little more work with the underpowered and take it away from the overpowered parties. Individual virtue is not important. Political equality is all that matters…….

─ I don't believe the Horsemen can keep pure neutrality until the end, against the Demon King's orders. To us, 'absolute neutrality' is a fiction and a delusion.

─ Only by exposing the most obvious, most blatant, and most hostile cost of your faction is the best way for us to manage the empire going forward…….

The booklet immediately sparked controversy.

Some praised the Demon King for his realistic point of view, and some accused the Demon King of being an propaganda gate buried in faction logic. Then the Mages split up and fought.

It was the Neutral Party's declaration of support that culminated in the incident.

“This booklet provides a concise and clear way for the empire to move forward. ”

The Demon Lord Marvas first officially supported Dantalian.

“The neutrality that our neutral wave has been seeking to achieve for the last thousand years is active neutrality. I not only empathize emotionally with the views of the Dantalian palace, but also send generous cheers. ”

The neutral reaper's words weighed a lot.

Some pointed out that Dantalian had helped Marvas in Polytunia, and it was just a conspiracy theory that they had speculated that some sort of deal was coming and going between the two Demon Kings, but there was no way to prove it. Opinions have leaned in favor of Dantalian.

The Unsubordinated Demon Kings were furious.

“You mean to exclude us from politics! ”

Following Marvas, the plains and mountain tribes announced their support, as if Dominos had fallen. It was typically a weaving and beating go-to. The fierce anger of the Unsubordinated Demon Kings grew immeasurably. They criticized Dantalian fiercely.

“Dantalian is Barbato's dog and a puppet of the Faction! ”

“Neutrality, as they say, only means exclusivity of power. ”

In the end, however, Dantalian did not care for the unworthy Demon Kings.

The inauguration took place and this is what has happened in the last two months.

The fierce anger of the Unsubordinated Demon Kings was growing. That's why people weren't surprised and didn't wonder when Gamigine said she was causing a commotion. He was regarded as a non-affiliated representative.

Late night.

The Unsubordinated Demon Kings have gathered at the Mansion of Gamegin. By the way, I've already held five meetings to discuss Dantalian's misdeeds.

“His intentions are clear. You'll give us a territory as small as yours and rule the empire! ”

“You should have been suspicious when you received no title. You should have noticed something strange when you got your position as a lawyer. Cursed fox... ”

Six Demon Kings breathed wine and spent hours complaining.

They even thought they were doomed. How did those who ruled over Manma get treated like this? The end is no different because they are being excluded from the political purity.

Balefor, who was in the sixth place, sighed.

“Ha. How long do we have to hold out like this? ”

“... But there's no other way. ”

“The opponent was number 71. Is there anyone weaker than him here? ”

The Demon Kings shrug.

Baleford frowned and said.

“After all, the Dantalian is only the face of the faction. The individual's power is insignificant and also insignificant. If they're going to ignore us from there to the end, we need to set an example, too. ”

“…… Balefor. But how easy can it be to assassinate him? ”

The Demon Kings react trembling.

There have already been dozens of reports of assassinating Dantalian. But every time, I concluded that the Demon Kings are difficult. Dantalian is protected by the knights of death and has always stayed in the imperial palace recently.

Baleford knew about it, so he shut up even when he was lucky. All I did was make my face uncomfortable.

It was then that Gamigine opened her lips.

“Maybe you can. ”

“Garmigin? Are you sure?”

“Hmmm. It's not much of a chance, but maybe. ”

Gamigine grins and sips the wine.

“Dantalian's only weakness is women. You're famous for being a dwarf.I 'll confess, that's why Dantalian took care of me when I was at war with Agares. ”

“ ……. ”

It was an indication that they were saved by sacrificing themselves. The Demon Kings were cool.

“That's why I had to pretend to be the Dantalian's lover for a while. ”

“You mean use a beauty to assassinate her? There seems to be too little guarantee that it will succeed... ”

“So I told you. There is a way."

Gamekin steals a drop of wine from his lips with his tongue.

“Because I hurt Dantalian in the imperial palace. I have to apologize for that. But instead of Dantalian accepting the apology, it's too obvious what he would ask of me personally. ”

Gamekin rubs his fingers against his body. The Demon Kings nod.

“But Dantalian's a pervert. I don't usually play. ”

“Does it mean you don't usually play...? ”

“Playing like a pervert. It's like I'm raping you. Well, more than that, should I put it into words? ”

The Demon Kings coughed. Although the magic system was sexually liberal, there was a slightly reluctant atmosphere in which the words "rape" were written freely among the Demon Kings.

“I see. But, Gamygyn, how do we use it?" ”

“Phew. I'm the Duke of the Empire after all. ”

Gamigine wags her fingers.

“Tell me if one palace white man personally threatened the Duke and raped him. Wouldn't the political life of Dantalian be over if that scene could be captured with memory magic? ”

“ ……! ”

The Unsubordinated Demon Kings stood up on their feet.
