The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

"Well, let's get this meeting started"

Satsuki declared.

"The chancellor will be this I, Satsuki Hou, will serve. The purpose of the meeting is to reach certain agreement on the decision of the Howe family next principals"

Sounds like some kind of shareholders' meeting.

No, either the board meeting or not.

We got a certain agreement, so how do we do it?

Is Satsuki ultimately in control of the decision?

I'm not sure about the finesse of the area.

"First, first. Here's Gouk Howe's will."

Satsuki said, the participants' ears and eyes concentrated simultaneously.

Oh, my God, I have a will.

Satsuki put her hand in her clothes and took out a single seal.

It's a seal in the form of a note in an envelope.

No signs of opening, closed with bright red wax.

It was not a beautiful note that glowed white...... but overall dirty and thinly dirty.

The closest I could see it, I could see a mixture of red things in the dirt.

Blood.

It's an envelope that feels like I brought it from the battlefield.

"As you can see, I haven't opened it yet. Let's open it now."

Satsuki stripped the wax seal bare so that everyone could see it.

It contained two parchments from inside and something kind of like hair.

My hair wasn't even jerked off with yarn, it was just in my pants.

I wonder how anxious I was.

Several hairs fell all over with the letter, scattered on the desk.

The look on Satsuki's face cast a shadow only for a moment.

When Satsuki took out the handkerchief, she carefully picked up each piece of her hair and wrapped it in it.

"There were two letters and a hair in them."

Everyone in the room has a sinking look on their face.

Does that mean there was so much hope?

I had only a short relationship, and I didn't know what it felt like.

But for the others here, I guess not.

"... to all of you who are here later, I'm going to turn it around in turn. Let me read it to you first."

Satsuki took the letter and began to read it.

I'll finish reading both in about five minutes.

"… one is a private message addressed to me, so I will refrain from phonetic reading on this occasion. The other one was a real suicide note."

Uh, I have a bad feeling about it.

I think you're having a lot of meals.

In the first place, it takes the form of opening and reading for the first time now, but would a person who is big and small and plots in front of these seats have such a cargo gift?

Even when it comes to sealed suicide notes, most of the time the survivors know what the suicide note is about.

On the contrary, I could not open the suicide note because I knew what it was about earlier. It is also conceivable that

"Then I will read...... I, Gouk Howe, the twenty-seventh generation Howe family owner, nominate my brother Luke Howe as the next generation of the Lord. Above"

Oh.

I knew it.

At the same time as it falls into your chest, something black swirls in the back of your chest.

Looking up at Luke, he had a kind of grumpy look on his face.

Let's be.

Luke, who was oblivious to politics, was perfectly at ease.

If Luke had assumed that possibility, he would have been more worried in advance.

He should have been worried about Kyodokyo or walking around oddly in the holding room.

You must not have dreamed this would happen.

I'm sure he had some kind of trust in his brother.

My brother would never nominate himself as his successor. Because I know I'm not for it and I can't do it.

Besides, there was the assumption that "there is no way anyone without a Knight's Degree will be chosen".

Luke used to say that, but that means he was lying.

I was convinced too, but that was Luke's mistake, and it wasn't an absolute condition.

View meeting participants.

About half of them frown and think, but the other half have a flat face.

It should have been irregular, if not Illegal, for Luke, who doesn't even have a Knight's Degree and barely even looks at his parents' house, to be elected head of the general's house.

The only reason I don't move my eyebrows so much is because it was still known information.

The event itself was urgent, but Satsuki must have carefully rooted it in advance.

"It's ridiculous! Those who are not knights are the owners of the Howe family, etc!!!

It was Lacune who yelled so.

I thought you didn't have a say.

"Shut up."

When Satsuki said so, Raccoon looked like he had chewed up a bitter bug.

What is this guy?

"But...!

"We are aware that this is an unusual measure. But I have already asked Her Majesty the Queen. There's no problem."

I didn't know you had received confirmation from Her Majesty even though it was an earlier opened letter.

What if he's a telepathic?

No way.

I knew it in advance.

"Is there no problem!

"I only warn you once more. Shut up."

"Grr... nooooooo..."

When Satsuki said it out cold, Raccoon sat down in a chair, shivering in silence.

"As you all know, the territory of the Howe family is located in the back clog of the peninsula and is given the warmest and richest land in the kingdom, so the Howe family has been in charge of reinforcements to other countries for generations"

Ho.

It was my first ear.

I see, was there such a situation?

Conversely, the generals, other than the Howe, are close to the kingdom of Kirchina, so they are kept warm for what if ever.

When my turn came, I couldn't even protect myself if the shield I stood up to protect had borne out.

The people in front of Wang Capital will be shields, but the people behind them will not be shields.

In fact, you might send out soldiers to fight hard, but you don't desperately defend yourself until your own territory is threatened, do you? The suspicion goes hand in hand, and you won't be able to expect much.

If so, you'd better use it before they attack you. I guess that's the idea.

It may seem like a whole poor lottery, but it can also be taken as the price given to a rich land.

But even when it comes to the price, I feel it's too expensive.

Anyway, even though the other generals have been in a situation for decades, maybe even hundreds of years, only the Howe family has been torn apart by the snails, and they have come to fruition like borough cloth.

This will continue to cause dissatisfaction with whatever it takes.

Or maybe if you fight, you'll get a bounty like fighting.

It is unclear whether you will receive it from your country of departure or from the Kingdom of Siyarta.

Maybe that's why the Howe family has such a good home.

Exactly. Is that an evil guess?

"But in this battle, the Howe family finally broke their arrow-ending bow, making it harder to maintain the Knights' power. Her Majesty the Queen understood the matter and had the honor to focus on rebuilding the Corps until his strength was restored. For a while now, we have been given special consideration that parents do not have to be knights."

You can rest until you're used to it because it's war. You mean.

He doesn't have to be a knight because he won't fight in the meantime anyway.

In fact, it's not like the Queen and I had that idea, but I guess we've pulled that kind of pre-construction out of our political maneuvers.

Having completed such a great deal of political work beforehand and removed obstacles to executory will means that meals are perfect.

I don't care.

Anyway, I didn't talk to Luke, the person I was talking to beforehand.

I mean, I can only assume Luke was framed.

The framed person looks at least not happy.

I don't know what...

He looks like that, with a troubled face, looking for allies and kicking around.

I touched Luke's leg a little bit.

And say it in a whisper.

Even whispering would sound satsuki, but it doesn't matter.

"Father, are you okay? If you don't like it, you have to hate it and say it. It's a determined flow."

"Ha... well, yeah"

Looks like Luke returned it to me.

All right, all right.

"It doesn't work for me at all. I will decline."

"Ha!"

The mockery rose so loud that I could hear it this way.

It's Raccoon.

From the current state of affairs, I'd rather make fun of Luke than be thankful, but I'm still frustrated.

You bastard! You bastard!

"Mr. Luke, you'll be fine. Well, there will be a slight change, but if you want, you can live the way you've always been."

Hmm?

Huh?

What do you mean?

"We'll take care of the business."

So you're saying I'm gonna puppet Luke?

So Satsuki takes power instead.

That's not good for boulders.

Are the people around you convinced?

"What does that mean? I'm sure there's as many suitors as I can get."

"Explain in hindsight that we have more or less four options."

Satsuki started talking slowly.

"First of all, the first is a choice that can bring someone from the branch and sit on the main one, right? There are about three suitably qualified people, but they are very distant relatives. All three have a Knights degree, but when it comes to titles, they are only knights, and the two of them are not Howe residents. So as far as I'm concerned, I'd like to avoid it."

I guess so.

Your history here would be the same idea.

Especially the two of them who are not Howe residents, which would mean a girl who was married to another house outside their territory.

When I saw Lacune for a moment, she looked like a boiled chicken.

Raccoon is a sideline, not a very distant relative, also has a Knight's Degree and experience in action.

I don't know what the title is, but I'm sure I have something big for you.

But Satsuki consistently ignores it.

"Another way is for Mr. Luke to take the Knight's degree now. I checked it out, and Mr. Luke has taken up to two hundred and ninety of the three hundred units of the cavalry, so just go to the cavalry now and get your pass with your last practical skill, and you'll get your cavalry soon. This will be the most natural form, but I won't impose it because you don't like it"

What, I was wondering if you dropped out early, but did you get to the critical point until graduation?

Even when it comes to criticism, it's not like he dropped out of college for four years or anything, but like the rest is just his graduation theory.

I wish I had graduated.

If I get a Knight's degree, will it take the form of a semi-military reserve, or what are the disadvantages?

"The third way is to take a knightly son-in-law to my daughter. This is very realistic, isn't it? But my daughter isn't even ten yet, so we can't do it right now."

In the Shan world, you can't have a young marriage. Is it a mechanism?

If you think there is still an absurdly primitive custom, the place is modern.

"The fourth way is to get Mr. Luke's son here to enroll in the Knights Academy, get a Knights degree, and be the main"

Who's Luke's son?

I wonder if he was a hidden child besides me.

If you do that, Suzuya's furious hair will rush to heaven.

No, no.

Ha, it's me.

I honestly didn't have that idea.

You mean Luke wasn't the only one who was framed for the trap, so was I.

I mean, I'm the main possibility.

You're hit.

"This is a lot of realistic hands, too. It's just that, of course, he doesn't have a single chivalry unit, so that means from the beginning. As you all know, graduating from the Cavalry takes about fifteen years. Even so, he's as good a kid as my husband had admitted, so it'll only take ten years. But after all, it can't be right now."

No, no.

Oh, no.

Nothing. I don't like living in this country, but I'm not talking about fighting with a sword and a spear.

There's no such thing as patriotism.

If possible, I want to be in Posi where I can escape with Stacolasassa when the war starts.

There is also the question of whether there is an escape even though every race is cornered.

"Yuri doesn't make knights"

I looked up at Luke.

Where did you get that odd look earlier?

He had declared it clear with a serious look.

Oh, is it this Luke that Suzuya fell in love with?

It was a face like that.

"Oh, I wonder if Yuri would like to be a knight."

"Of course, that's not the case. But I won't force you."

"But children admire knights."

What the fuck?

Don't be ridiculous.

Leave people alone. Which mouth is nasty.

"Don't create in my mind on your own. Unpleasant."

When I said that clearly, Satsuki looked like she had been picked by a fox.

I told him. I told him.

I don't care if they think you're a busy kid.

"... Yuri says this too"

Looking at Luke, he still looked like he was in trouble, the parents do when the child rumbles.

Oh, my God. Don't look like that...

"But you won't know the future. One of these days, you might want to be a knight."

"That may be true, but don't do anything that blocks other paths beforehand"

"Mr. Luke, I'm misunderstanding you. I'm not blocking it, I'm not forcing it."

"But..."

"If Yuri-kun doesn't like it, I'll take responsibility for my daughter's son-in-law."

Heh.

If you do that on your own.

……

Hey, I shut up.

Oh, Father?

"All you have to do is ask Mr. Luke to become a parent in his name for a little while. This means a connection until you can take the third or fourth of the four methods I just mentioned. Of course, if you want to do it in earnest, you can decide to take a knight's degree and take a second way."

"That can't be... but..."

It doesn't benefit Luke at all.

As much as relatives have the disadvantage of being giddy, the rest will just be troublesome.

Luke doesn't have to worry because he has a job in his hand.

Since the ranch is in the Howe family's territory, management will be harder to do, but in some cases, there will be a hand in relocating each ranch outside the territory.

I can still do enough.

If you don't have the necessary expenses to relocate, you can withdraw as much as a down payment loan if you ask a customer in Wang Du.

Say no. Say no.

But Luke looked at me more like a flicker.

I'm not even looking at my complexion, I don't know what choice to make when I think about my son, or anything.

I wonder if I can cut that here, even though my son's way of flourishing showed up because of it.

I'm just a kid, and I don't know what else I'm gonna change my mind about, and I might want to change my mind later and be the one to win.

If that's not the case, I'll come in responsibly and find my son-in-law.

I feel like I'm thinking about something like that.

Well, I've been doing my son for eight years now, too.

I know most things.

This father is the type of man whose thoughts are on his face all he wants.

I mean, Luke might be my one-of-a-kind chance, or something. (Probably)

Stop it. Seriously.

Even though there is an escape route available for Sham to take his son-in-law in the first place, I highly doubt it will actually work.

My son-in-law or whatever on that sham, I'm not at all willing to make it work.

With this satsuki, I'm Sham's parent, so it would be normal to think about my daughter's well-being.

I don't know how it actually is, but at least, you should consider that tendency.

I've only spoken to Sham once, too, so I don't know if he understands his personality, but is it something that makes all that togetherness against me work when Sham is made to marry a sweaty boneless samurai?

I can't even imagine the vigeon of being well and happy, but I feel very unlikely about that.

or so, when it comes to bringing a scholar-skinned man, this time he will no longer be able to serve as the head of the house.

I don't know what form of army it is, but I don't suppose it's highly organized anyway, and with such a weak man on his head, he's got a clump down there.

So Satsuki isn't actually thinking about adopting this case.

Thus, one can also think.

But Luke's never met Sham in this neighborhood, so you have no idea.

"No, you better say no"

I slapped Luke in the face.

"Yuri, shut up for a second."

Said in a harsh voice.

Ugh.

Well, that's what they say.

Luke had made up his mind about something.

"If that's the case, I'll serve you."

Oh, I told you...

This will be a pledge.

"Well, it's superimposed"

"It's not superimposed or anything. Fuck Baba..."

I snapped.

"Oh, I wonder what it is."

"No......"

"But if you ask me, I'm talking about it. If we do not reach agreement at this meeting…"

"Oh, I'm fine."

Satsuki has his elbows on his desk and his hands together in front of his chest.

It was kind of a pretty girl pose.

I'm probably over forty, but I only look like I'm about thirty, so I don't even look so crazy.

"If you take a vote, I'm sure you'll all agree."

Apparently, it's already done.

Probably convince the jizzy people.

With a foreign body named Raccoon, I don't feel that uncomfortable, but if it wasn't for him, it would have been a complete farce stage.

Huh.

The pose, which is supposed to look kind of cute, is starting to look like Ikari Gen Oo's finger combination pose.

But there was still my last ally in this conference room.

From earlier on, only elementary school students crossing the crosswalk are raccoons with their pins and arms stretched out and their hands raised.

I wonder if I'm tired of my arms.

"So shall we just take a vote?

"I'm kidding!!!

It was so angry that I wanted to cover my ears unexpectedly.

"If you boil on Shiitake Street, it will be normal for Noon to prevail!!! What are we talking about slipping through and breaking the code!!!

Heh.

Yes, it is.

Actually, I think so, too.

I don't know if you can hubble because you didn't go out with the special attack.

But after all, the Lord fought and died in a splendid way, so it seems odd that a person who came back to stay away from it would shake a major player and fit into the next period.

Even if you don't demote, it would be odd to get promoted right away.

Even I'm negative about the special attack.

I guess that's more what the hard-headed people here think.

"Ha..."

Satsuki tried to hold her fingers around the temples and looked at the source of the headache with cold eyes.

Are you frightened?

Now, how am I supposed to get you out?

"Phew ~ ~ ~ ~ ~"

As I watched Satsuki still, I could see the blue muscles gradually on the comet and my breath getting rough.

That's where I noticed.

I'm not stunned, I'm not thinking, I'm suppressing my anger.

"Non has also made martial arts on earlier expeditions!!! What are you unhappy about!!!

What, you call that yourself?

It was the moment I thought so.

Gatan, and there was a sound of the chair falling.

"Shut up!!!

Satsuki was there kicking his chair and getting up and giving him an angry look like a leopard.

"I can see through your soul and your guts! Why did you run off without telling anyone on the battlefield! You expected the Wang Eagle attack to fail! That way, the besieged castle will be wiped out and there will be no witnesses. That's how you get to the Lord - if that's what happens, I'm relieved!

Mr. Satsuki seemed so magnificent that he began to curse Raccoon with an awesome sword screen.

It's loud enough to make my ears kink.

"To abandon your master with such despicable ambition is a piece of junk that you cannot even keep on the knight's wind! If such crumbs are trembling in awe, I still don't know if I will seek the Lord's seat until this period! If you are to be ashamed, harm yourself here and now!

Like self-harm.

I wonder if it's a belly cut or something.

Or before that, Raccoon, you're the one.

I listened to him, and he was like a representative of the scraps.

It's not at all the same as rejecting a special attack and running on the spot.

The Ek family can impose a grand tax on the territory and be great against the people because they are guaranteed that right by the Hou family.

Participation in the war and obeying our Lord's orders will be a duty at its price.

Of course, the special attack falls outside the scope of that obligation, but in that case the normal military needs to continue to be straightened out.

There is no good reason to throw everything and run away just because your master has specially attacked you.

Perhaps the soldiers were still there, so we should put them together and continue the fight.

Running is a renunciation of duty, that is, a flight in front of an enemy.

Besides, according to Satsuki's considerations, it was in anticipation of his master's tragic death.

I'm glad that Gowk succeeded in his special attack and the enemy troops withdrew, but if not, his own army would have been wiped out, and no one left to know what was going on, and no suicide note might have arrived.

If the Knights of the Expedition are destroyed, no one will know the fact that they ran away.

Lacune waved home a major player and, as the lead candidate, would still have been the winner.

Lacune's next is paying off so much talent as Luke, so there's no other option.

Without giving up, where you're greedy, you smell like an asshole, but wasn't the plot itself a wager with a poor success rate?

But how bad are they?

I thought he was one of us, but that's just the first time this guy's going to be a parent.

If it's so much junk, you're in high danger of murdering Luke.

"If you have any objections, say so."

Lacune has a bright red face and a ghostly shape.

It's like looking at your parents' enemies.

On the contrary, why did you think you could take the lead?

Satsuki is satsuki, it's good to stir it up, but you think about it properly?

"He has a sword hanging around his waist, but is there someone here who can stop him?"

Boso said so.

Raccoon now stood up, so he could see well the sword hanging on his hips.

Raccoon came to this venue by force of the guards and was allowed to remain present, so I guess there was no time to keep his sword.

In that situation, there are only Lacune's other grandmothers here who are unlikely to be able to use them, the rancher's man, his son (seven years old) and the rest a widow.

There is no active warrior but Raccoon.

Satsuki looked hazy.

They weren't that concerned.

Or guess what, Luke... No, you just don't have that.

Exactly. You think people in positions like this can't freak out in places like this?

"Guards!!!

I shouted out loud and rang my hands with bread.

Yeah, yeah. It would help if you did.

We should call the guards for now.

At least Satsuki, Luke, you better keep your hands off me.

If you don't, you won't lose your ability to exercise your powers.

When Satsuki called out loud, the big door to the room opened immediately.

That's how two men showed up from the other side.

Because of this kind of meeting, I weave a formatted robe, but underneath it I wore proper armor.

"Evacuate the man there."

When ordered, the guards quickly approach Lacune.

Whoa, will you leave?

Still fine though.

It was when the guards told Raccoon something and tried to grab his arm.

"Oh Ku, UGAAAAAAA!!!

When Raccoon pulled out his sword, he cut off the heads of two guards without looking back, raising a strange roar.

Ah.

A moment late, my head understands the situation.

Oh, it was between.

One neck was amputated to the eighth, and the neck was like connected only by the cervical bone, and the other neck rolled about, and the body that had lost the Lord fell down, scattering blood like a fountain.

Whoa, whoa.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

I'm not the first to see people die, and of course I'm not the first to see a body.

But that means I've seen people who die in hospital beds and people who go into kangoke in the form of bodies after they die.

I've never seen a scene of suicide, or seen a person die in the form of murder.

I was amazingly distracted.

to the fact that a murder took place in front of us.

Not close enough to bathe in blood, but very real. Blood is sprinkled from my neck.

In the meantime, Raccoon was running on top of it and coming this way as he jumped on the table in one leg.

It seemed like an impulse to kill the guard, but the act rather made me feel ready.

Seeing Luke for a moment, he is rushing up and moving to shelter Satsuki.

Will Luke fight for me?

I've never seen this Luke hold a weapon when he was born.

There are daggers and spears in the house, but I've never seen them bare.

Shit, at least something that could be a weapon.

Of course, there was nothing like that.

It's daytime, so there's not even a candlestick, it's only about a cup or a chair.

The more strength I have, the more I have just proven.

Breaking two necks with a single machete is not something that can be done with the same skill.

Raccoon is leaving it to his anger to run on his desk.

Almost there already.

But there's something wrong with that move.

It's slipping underfoot like it's running over a mud.

A tablecloth.

Every time I step on a cloth, I slip every step of the way.

When I gripped the edge of the tablecloth, I turned my arm around and entangled the part of the suso all over my arm.

When I made sure Raccoon got on the third tablecloth, I kicked the desk and rolled off every chair.

My weight makes me feel like my tablecloth is ticking.

"Whoa!!

D'Tang! And there was a loud noise from the desk.

Apparently, Raccoon was taken by a tablecloth and turned upside down.

The figure of Raccoon appears from the edge of the desk.

I guess I slipped off my desk because of the momentum left in the run.

Luke thrust Satsuki, he quickly avoided Lacune.

I looked at it as I fell on my back.

Lacune slips off the table as she falls ill, falling on the floor without a receptacle.

Luke quickly approached and stepped on the belly of the sword with his heel, making the use of the sword impossible first.

And he did not put it down for a moment, and stepped on it with one leg of heel with the remaining hand of Raccoon holding the sword.

If it was a woman's or child's hand, it would crush the momentum, and I would step on it twice or three times.

Admitting that Raccoon's hand was away from the pattern, he sealed Raccoon's head under his armpit, trying to get one hand up against the floor.

I wonder what I'm going to do, I'm turning one arm around my neck, grabbing my collar with the other, and squeezing my neck.

Front chalk.

The sequence of motions was really smooth, quick and flowing without lagging.

Five seconds and no time has passed since Raccoon fell off the table.

Oh, honey, don't do it.

"Gu -!!!"

Does Raccoon seem to have a tight neck or no evil?

I lay on the ground so I could see Raccoon's face well.

His face was bright red like a boiled octopus, and he tried to escape restraint with his whole body, eating so much that he broke his teeth as he let saliva bubbles from his mouth.

But they kept his neck under tight pressure, so there was no escape.

Keep it tight for about thirty seconds, and as Luke left, Raccoon collapsed on the spot.

It fell.

"Oh, you were so cool."

To be honest with Luke, who stood up,

"Really? Well, I'm glad the old pestle didn't go to waste..."

I wasn't happy to say, but he looked complicated.

"You did better than that. If Yuri hadn't let him fall, it would have been dangerous."

Luke was a big hand at me.

"Thank you"

Light but not bad.

Actually, I think it was a good drive.

But even without it, Luke could have won.

It was a dangerous place, which meant that for this old lady - at least it wasn't a threat of absolute fatality......

Then, Raccoon was pulled by the guards and the meeting was temporarily disbanded.

They're going to do it again tomorrow.

I mean, I'm staying.
