Yomigaeri no Maou

A few hours rocked by a night carriage.

It was completely midnight when I approached Wang Capital.

Rusty and Ortez and I broke up as soon as we got to the King's Capital, and each decided to just go back to their homes for tomorrow.

Unlike Lulu, the cohabitants thought they would be asleep early because there will be a game tomorrow, and I tried to sneak in quietly to keep my footsteps off the house, but when I approached the house, unexpectedly, the house lights were still on and I felt someone was still awake.

What, I thought Lulu would normally unlock the door and go inside, indicating that Illis was still awake and was sitting in a chair in his nightwear drinking something warm.

Its side, which I saw the moment I opened the door, somehow seemed strangely lonely, causing Lulu to hesitate for a moment to go inside.

But at the moment of acknowledging Lulu, reassured by Illis, who smiled as the flowers blossomed all the time, Lulu stepped into the house oblivious to that moment of hesitation.

Then I wonder how Lulu had a strange look on his face.

When Iris,

"Welcome home, uncle....? Can I help you? You have a strange face."

and tilted his neck, so Lulu laughs bitterly.

I honestly decided to say that I'm a little worried about what I answered, but it's nothing else to hide, and that I would know better if I asked the person.

"No... because the moment I opened the door, the face of Illis seemed kind of oddly depressed. I was just wondering what was going on."

And he laughed, and he said,

The answer is a little different than expected, and Lulu is a little surprised.

"Oh... I was just thinking about the old days. That may have made my expression look darker than I thought."

"Back in the day?

"Yeah. Back in the day... Your uncle would have fought a lot of human (human) prowess, wouldn't he? Always, before the day I said that, I remember being asked about my home. For example... even when the first human (human) sword saint came..."

Would it have been?

Remind me......

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... Sword Saint Periapt?

To the information brought by one of the soldiers guarding the main entrance of the Devil's Capital, the Devil King Lulslia-Nord tilted his neck.

His constant breath tells him that a man (a human) who names St. Periapt the Sword suddenly appears at the main entrance of the Devil's Capital and offers a ride with the Devil King.

In contrast, the demons guarding the main entrance flew to eliminate or arrest the man, but they were all rendered powerless.

Wow. I thought I'd just go inside the Devil's Capital and do all the atrocities I could, but the man sat down in front of the main entrance, and then,

"Let the demon king out! I just want to fight him!

Says it's a stiff.

Though he seems to be answering some questions at once, by and large, his claims seem to be on this point.

That's the only information conveyed from the main gate to the information room in the Demon King's Castle, and he asked me how the hell to deal with this situation, so I rushed in from the information room.

For once, the main entrance has already been closed, meaning that we are sending soldiers on the spot who are a few steps stronger than just the gate soldiers, but if it is broken, we will have to put in quite a few strong men.

That said, I came to ask for instructions on who to send to the main gate, but as the Demon King, I simply thought that I should go now.

Therefore, to that effect, when I tell the soldier who came,

"Yes, no, it won't! Didn't they do the same thing during this time when the people (humans) named Flame Spears came! After that, how much do you think I have been scolded by His Excellency Mutos!

I was told with a cry, etc.

When you say that, you can't win in the field. There's a guy here, so the strong guy has to go, and it's himself, and that's true, but... and it's grand.

When I wondered what was going on, Mutos of the day, in addition to that, Bacchus came from the open gate between the thrones and approached the Demon King with a sigh.

Bacchus came to pass on the information on the main entrance. As he approached the side of the soldier, he slapped his shoulder,

"... leave the rest to us. In the meantime, you can go back."

and let him leave the room with a gentle voice.

Anyway, I understand your struggle, let's work, you can leave this here to me, but you were a little bit of a demon king who was the source of that struggle.

But Mutos says a lot in a majestic voice. No, that attitude gradually squeezes, and finally,

"... I'm sorry..."

Around what I'm saying, I feel like where is the Demon King's Demonic Kingship?

It's just that still, after Mutos scolded him all the way,

"... well, that's what Maekami will say. In fact, the man who is coming to the main entrance seems to be a real sword saint, and perhaps not so many can fight and beat the present Devil's Capital from the front. I don't mind if Non or Bacchus comes out...... fortunately, do you say, silly honestly, the man seems to have come alone. You're absolutely right, I just want to fight His Majesty."

Probably stopped by the intelligence room thoroughly before I got here.

Mutos apparently had much more information than what the decree had conveyed.

According to that, Kensei came alone with the truth and is still sitting agua in front of the main gate.

Sure, I can only say silly honesty, but such an idiot is, demonically, an appreciated being.

The sect that tries to manipulate people by using this number of manipulation techniques is the most repellent being, and it seems to be the opposite of that, the man's wishes are not heard, so the Demon King, Mutos and Bacchus are about to become.

Mutos continued.

"That's why... I think you can do this here, conditionally, to fulfill his wishes"

"Conditional?

"Yes... First of all, the use of special weapons such as the Holy Sword shall not be permitted. Spending a day in the Devil's Capital and being tested to avoid a kind of cheat I said so. The kind of protection... well, it would be essential for people (human beings) to fight the demonic powers. Let's admit this. And kill each other, please forgive me..."

If you can fight like that, that's something you don't even wish for, but the question arises as to whether Kensei will accept such a proposal.

In the first place, didn't he come to kill the Demon King?

If so, only the last condition would be inadmissible.

Mutos shook his head though.

"That doesn't seem to be why. Kensei seems to have answered some of the one-off questions, but in them, he said, he didn't want to kill the Demon King, he just wanted to fight.... I don't even have an opinion on how to believe that... because, as I said earlier, you seem like a dumb honest man. Perhaps the sorcery inquisition kind will not complain either. And as a result, if it turns out to be no problem, I wonder if we could allow this fight."

It really seems like it's just a battle idiot, and the Demon King gradually feels himself liking Kensei.

So the Demon King nodded.

"Ok...... so as soon as the inspection is over, shall we duel in me and that sword saint? Well, if it's a battle with no lives at stake, I'm a little distracted."

"Feel free. Now, Noon will tell the sword saint at the moment, and will take command of the inspection, so let me step back."

So Mutos left the scene.

Bacchus is still on the spot,

"What about you? You still got something?

and when I visited, I shook my head,

"No... I hadn't grabbed as much information as old Mutos did yet. I was going to come and stop you... apparently you don't need that"

"Oh... you liked Kensei and them too? Then why don't we do it instead?

Bacchus laughed at the words of the Demon King,

"Right, I'd like to be different from you if I can, but if you stop by what I've been told before, its sword saint, they're pretty strong. When I do, that could be a life-threatening battle. Let's not..."

"Hmm, not so much... but I won't lose"

"I know. But it seems like my daughter really likes to worry about you. In the meantime...... what the hell did you do?"

"Is that a flaming spear?

"Yes, even when fighting that flaming spear, I was in a bit of a bad mood because I would report it afterwards. What are you going to do if anything happens, if it's near His Majesty the Demon King, slash it and throw it away before His Majesty approaches you like that!......"

"That's..."

The Demon King had never seen Bacchus's daughter, where Illis was angry at her for showing her emotions like that, and smiled at her that this parent and child were close.

But if you try to be the Bacchus of the day, they're not like that.

"I'm laughing, but he's pretty scared when you get mad at him for that, huh? You look just like your mother... Besides, if I'm mad at you, you're mad at me anyway... I'm in trouble. So, well... it's gonna take a while to test that sword saint. Before the duel, meet him and explain it out of your mouth. Otherwise... it's tough."

The enemy most closely to the Demon King is his daughter.

The Demon King laughed a little at the fact and nodded, "Okay, let's go now".

Along the way, the information room contacted Mutos and asked him when the game would be, but it would be early and tomorrow.

I also finally asked him what his impression was when he came into contact with Kensei, but Mutos laughed, from the other side of the communications machine.

'You're still silly honest...... very fond'

There seems to be no problem because he said so.

Confirming that, Demon King and Bacchus headed to Bacchus' mansion.

When I got to the mansion, before the Demon King and Bacchus opened the door, a small shadow came running properly open.

The Demon King recognized it, but knew it wasn't something that would do him harm, so he takes it in silence.

Around not going to Bacchus, I wondered, this parent and child looked at me as I thought...... but I hugged him pompously and decided if it was okay because the face I raised was smiling.

The little shadow, whose identity is, is the daughter of Bacchus, Iris.

she said.

"Uncle! Welcome to such a barn!

Do you know what that means and you're saying it, or are you joking?

Next to the Demon King, Bacchus was crying a little.

Even though it's a mansion I worked so hard to build, it's terrible to treat it like a barn from my real daughter.

It's not small, it's not old...

In the first place, since Iris himself, is not the type to say blatant ill words, decides to think that he probably just followed out as a result of trying to make himself extremely despised in an attempt to welcome the Demon King.

I'm not supposed to be trying to hurt Bacchus farther away.

"No, no, isn't it a fine house? I like this house."

When the Demon King said so, Illis shook his head.

"I think my uncle would be glad to hear me cry. Come on, come here."

That being said, according to the invitation of Illis, the Demon King goes inside.

As Bacchus tried to get inside, for some reason the door closed.

No choice, Bacchus opened the door himself and came in with a little tear.

Then, as I sat on the couch in the mansion, Illis brought me drinks and treats worthwhile.

The Demon King wonders when he should talk about the game, but begins to talk a lot as Bacchus follows him with his elbow from the side.

"Oh, speaking of Illis"

"Yes, why should I?

"As a matter of fact, a sword holy figure is coming to the front gate today..."

"Yeah. I know. Are you going to have a duel with your uncle?

The tingling and the air froze.

Apparently, Illis already knew.

That means that the attitude towards Bacchus from earlier is probably due to that.

"There must be no such thing as a direct battle between your uncle and His Majesty the Demon King... what the hell are the people doing..."

I drink tea next door, but it's hard to say.

No, of course I don't like it when I understand it.

But Bacchus didn't seem to have enough strength left to withstand anymore.

The Demon King understood it and said to Illis with a bitter smile.

"We've been stopped for a while... guys, I know. My selfishness. So, Iris, stop bullying him around."

"Oh... if your uncle says so, I can't go on like this. Father, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm not sure myself, but when it comes to your uncle, I can't pull it off..."

Iris also apologized as soon as he was pointed out because he has an honest personality.

Bacchus doesn't seem to care, either.

"No, I get it. I guess that's all this is important to you. It's just depressing when you get hit too hard, so from now on, do it softer..."

He said.

I mean, I guess this is like parent-child twitching.

No way. Illis wouldn't say the same thing when he put Mutos in front of him.

From then on, the three of us enjoyed the conversation in a soothing atmosphere, then we had dinner and stayed at Bacchus' house.

It seems that Illis was deeply worried about the next day's game, but doubted the victory, rather than being able to wipe away his worries about what happened.

Because people (human beings) may have special skills and tools.

However, this time, he was somewhat relieved, at least to say that he had no problem with the weapons.

I said I'd be there for you, and I fell asleep.
