54 ◇ Command of the Demon King

"Nice to meet you, Remegeton."

This is the conference room where I first met the Demon King.

Dim, clear vision, spacious, but stone long tables and chairs. Later only small private rooms with positioned recording stones with transfer function.

There were five chairs for the Demon King and the Four Heavens, but one had recently been added.

If you're a staff officer, you might want to hold back from the Demon King's side, but my chair is set up in a position opposite her across the table.

Ms. Lucy today had her red hair turned into a chunky twin tail.

It only looks a little superior to Kash's age, but he's my real boss.

"If you call me, whenever"

To my reply, she laughs. [M]

"You're doing really well"

"Thank you"

"The Phoenix party thing was awesome. They all regenerated the Avatar here. Especially from the two [brave] men."

The Demon King is nodding contentedly.

Magic body (avatar) generation uses a technique that reproduces all of the body with magic.

It takes a lot of money to use, so adventurers don't want their magic bodies (avatars) destroyed if they can.

If the magic organ is excellent, if it is a body mastering special skills - such as Lily's "Divine Speed" - or if it has magic implements, the fee is even higher. They demand money commensurate with the effort to reproduce them.

Asking for it in a store directly under the Adventurers' Union would charge a regular fee, but only shortly after the dungeon attack, there was a system where asking for regeneration and repair in that dungeon would be discounted.

The Phoenix party all applied for regeneration on the spot, so that's what Demon King Castle makes money for.

"The cost of repairing the tenth floor has also been paid for in bulk by the [Fiery Brave]. Is your best friend a millionaire?

By destroying the entire hierarchy as well as the camera, Phoenix had been charged with repairs.

This is a rule of dungeon offense, and he was convinced.

"We only split the deliveries into mountains, because personal income was our way of doing it"

"Oh, I see. Unlike [the fiery brave man], who pulls off video boards (TV), magazine coverage, events, etc., do you want to enter such a job into [the black demon mentor]?"

"Yep... even at the same age in my hometown and at the same party, my income was different from that of him..."

I'm pretty sure it was well above average, but in my case, there was no positive earnings for other famous adventurers.

He's been in Phoenix and all kinds of TV commercials, and I wonder if Lily had a commercial request for shampoo. Aruba is an easy moving shoe, and Lark comes from a company that deals with protective equipment.

I don't have it!

Zero cases.

The interview is a bit on the list even when everyone at the party treats it as an aside, and it's not once or twice that I was there and they didn't ask me anything.

The other four had rest periods...... or no dungeon strategy. Other work came banging in, but I was free myself.

Thanks to you I was able to focus on my training......

No, I guess I was featured in a minor magazine once. [Black Demon Instructor] Hope in the Realm! Like. I remember taking a seat on the way when asked how competent people would get in.

That's not an interview with [Black Demon Instructor]. How can I sell my charm and stay at the [Flaming Brave] party? I got sad when they said something like that.

That's all the world's treatment of [black demon mentors] is bad.

"Ugh, um. I'm sorry, don't let that get you down. Look, why don't I just stroke your head?

"No, don't worry"

"Really? I hear Agarez and the others are energized enough to work a month's sleep break."

Mr. Agarez......

No, if you're filled with just being able to stroke your head, isn't that even enough to worry you?

I don't know. What do you think? I don't know.

"It's okay. But thank you."

"Hmm. Well, you have Kash and Carmilla, no need for extra comfort, etc."

When the demon king pulled his jaw to his satisfaction, he returned to the story.

"Nevertheless, I was wondering if it had taken a lot of work to generate the Magic Body (Avatar), and I didn't know it inherited the horns"

"haha......"

"It's okay, Remegeton. Instead, I salute you. It wouldn't have been a pain that people could bear, would it?

"Well, I managed to keep my master from dying around there"

"Your grandfather is a genius, but he wasn't good at delicate manipulation. Even if I could fit it, I don't think I could have done anything to distract the pain.

"Well, yeah, that hurt so bad... But that's what I wanted."

"I didn't know your grandfather would let humans inherit horns because he wanted them... Lemegeton, are you weak?

"Is that what you have for your master?

When I say it out of the blue, the Demon King laughs at me. [M]

"I can't imagine the rest. - And I still want to talk about it, but is it time to get down to business"

Until now, it's a public story. I knew there was a different reason why I was called in.

"Yes."

"You know two [Demon Kings] personally, don't you? With your grandfather."

"... right"

There, it wouldn't make sense to deny or mislead anymore.

In fact, [Demon King], there are other things to hold and I've fought for them, but when I know them personally, they're the two of them.

"Then you wondered? I wonder what the master's son, his boss's father, and his predecessor, the Demon King, are doing."

I was going to ask anyway, but I didn't expect it to come up on the subject from the person in question.

"I was curious"

"That's fine. 'I'm not interested' or anything, 'cause it hurts."

The Demon King smiles slightly, then erases his expression.

"Father... the man gave up the Demon King. [Title (Job)] I don't mean to just follow life, but that man did something that wasn't allowed."

I stretch my spine and listen seriously. [M]

"He... he proclaimed, 'Dungeon attack and other old'. I left this place saying, 'I will build a new form of business and end the dungeon offense'"

"Oh, that's..."

"Regardless, I guess he has his own beliefs and reason. As things stand, viewers are really stopping by the adventurer's side. I can tell from what they say about the dungeon 'offense'."

It's obvious because adventurers deliver it, but it's not called defensive footage.

"He says he's going to change the way it works against demons. Great ambition. It would be great if it came true. But Lemegeton. Isn't it too sad that the Dungeon Offensive will disappear from the world?

I agreed with the Demon King.

Indeed, because their role in the dungeon offense is villain, there are those who discriminate against subpeople in their daily lives as well. That's very sad.

But not all of the causes are dungeons, and how about we just erase the dungeon offense?

I had a dream because of the dungeon attack.

I can't agree with the idea that I should lose it.

Besides, we're about to change from the inside.

By proving that demons can win, too.

Turn down even that path, and resolving it without it anyway is abusive.

"He's been getting ready ever since your grandfather disappeared. I managed to protect the Castle of the Demon King, but most of your grandfather's men either changed jobs or followed him."

... So are all the Four Heavens and all the other demons just young people?

Everyone with shameless strength in the demons of Demon King's Castle, but he was somewhat concerned about the large number of young people.

Replacement of demons is not uncommon, and I thought the Demon King might be employing young people as a priority because they are young, but it seemed different.

"I've been exploring his trends for the rest of my life... but the guy moves a lot lately. As part of this, we found ourselves looking to acquire a dungeon"

"Acquisition, is…"

"It's not easy to run a dungeon. If the deficit continues, we must also think about letting go. I don't know what he'll do in the dungeon he bought, but it's clear that no one will ever be able to 'attack or defend' again. I can't let that happen."

The Demon King seemed really angry. I just don't feel resentment.

"I think I understand the story. But that's not what I can do..."

"Remegeton, my staff. Use your power to blacken the dungeon. Bring the Adventurer into a dungeon that will wipe out all the guns."

"Uh... no, uh...? Uh, business trip, you mean?

In itself, well, it's not uncommon.

The dungeon is a hierarchical structure, but it does not always have customers, and the customers proceed with the strategy in turn from the first level.

There is a really free day, during which some people do other jobs that are suitable for the [position (job)], while others travel to another dungeon.

Think of it as part of that, travel is not an odd order in itself.

My tenth tier is being rebuilt, so even when adventurers arrive, the offense will be up to the ninth tier.

At the top of the ranks, you want to attack Dokan on video boards (TVs) like the Phoenix and the others. Until the tenth layer is created anew, it will also be viewed and waited for in the challenges of other adventurers.

Conversely, below the median rank, I would like to try within the slightest remaining shock of Phoenix Party Attack Failure.

The face of Demon King Castle is not weak enough to fall behind those people.

Even if it were broken through, it would not be possible to cross the ninth layer.

"You can do it. Whatever it takes, it's the rest of the staff. Besides, I inherit your grandfather's horn. I don't think that man and you have anything to do with it."

I inherited the corner he was supposed to inherit.

Part of my master's body is inside me.

I can't say it has nothing to do with the Demon King or her father. I have an edge. Strange edge, but connected.

"I also allow the use of the ring, but listen to the schedule? And you know what else, don't use the horns? Even if I used it, it's one bottle."

He also talks to the Demon King about the liberation of the horns.

Changes in one arm and that it is forbidden to grow wings.

If it's enough to grow a right corner, it'll be accepted that it's a performance.

"What do we do? It's a job until the tenth tier is ready, won't you take it?

There's still something I'd like to ask you, but I can't help but decide on my answer.

She's my boss, I'm my subordinate. And this is work.

"... if it is the order of the Demon King"

"Well, that's an order, then."
