Yuusha Dakedo, Maou Kara Sekai Wo Hanbun Moratte Uragiru Koto ni Shita

"Oh, you know, brave man? It's good to see you again today, isn't it?

in the Demon King's Room.

By the time she finally recovered from the shame caused by baby play, she came.

"You're finally here. Did you sleep well yesterday?

"I slept...... but I'm sorry? Mina, faint."

"Uh... I don't care, I'm fine. In the meantime, we're going out today."

I get up and get out of the room.

Mina leans her neck strangely as she follows me.

"Where are you going?

"The human world. I have a little errand to attend to in the tenth world, Marcto."

"……… Human"

To my words, Mina darkened her expression.

I wouldn't have very good memories for her.

Until a while ago, I was kidnapped there and I felt scared, so I couldn't help it.

Still, I had a reason to want to take her to the human world.

"This isn't an order, so if you really don't like it, that's fine. But I'd like you to follow me if you can... What do you say?

Hold her hand and sue.

"If anything, I'll protect you. You look strong enough to protect humans from demons? Don't worry."

Even though she was small, she was trembling, but she nodded at her temperament.

"Mmm...... ok. If a brave man can protect you... Mina, go."

Mina holding my hand all the time.

"I've heard a lot of rumors about brave men. You know you're very strong, don't you? Humans are still scared... but brave men, you can trust them, right?

Warm hands show no sign of leaving.

To tell you it's okay.

I snorted back hard in my straight eyes, too.

"Trust me."

"Yeah. Believe me."

For the first time then, Mina laughed at me.

A childish innocent smile makes me feel like I have another different kind of fun than the Demon King.

It would have been healing if it hadn't been for Lorikon... it's a deep thing in the business.

Either way, me and Mina are going to the human world 'Marcto'.

But now I don't have a demon king who can use metastatic magic.

The only way to get to another world was by regular means.

"Sephiroto's World Store first."

Me and Mina leave the Castle of the Demon King and walk out towards the trunk of Sephiroto.

It is the trunk of a great tree that rises to heaven, visible from everywhere.

We, the creatures that live in Sephirot, live in a branch of a great tree called Sephirot.

But it's not easy to go to another world.

Anyway, it's a huge tree of an incredible size.

If we climbed the tree, we would have arrived at some point, not at any distance.

So if I usually wanted to go to another world, I needed to go to each world common store called 'Sephiroto's World Store'.

This store, which exists in all worlds, is set up in the trunk.

"Irashaymase."

Once inside, a suspicious figure appeared with his face hidden in a black cloth.

He is the owner of this store called Sephiroto's World Store. They don't have a name, but they were commonly referred to as' store owners', etc.

"What are you buying, Imasca?

When I walk over to the counter, the store owner gives me a book to catalog.

The catalogue contains a variety of products.

If I were to give you an example, would it be [Moonflower Tobacco], which the Demon King and Tamamo loved to smoke?

This item is only produced in a different world than the demonic world, but it is only handled in this "Sephiroto's World Store".

Where to get it, etc., is a total mystery. This shopkeeper is a mystery in the first place, so we give up understanding.

"Uh... I'd like to go to Marcto."

There were also a number of items that attracted interest, but now it is only a matter of short notice.

"Aiyo. One man, one white gold coin, nari. Two Datos, two Death."

That way, the store owner demanded the money with the usual inorganic voice.

Paying money. This is the right way to move to a different world.

"That's expensive... Mina, I don't have the money"

Mina shakes her head plumply at the amount offered.

Yes, it is. It takes a lot of money to move to a different world.

One piece of white gold coin per person is considerable, so we need to adjust the number of people when waging war on other races, etc.

I'm more or less sharp than a few, but that doesn't matter now, so let's cut it off.

By the way, there's only one exception.

Only the Zero World 'Daato' can go for free. I don't need money or anything because it's classified as so-called 'ground' over there.

For that reason, it must have been Daato that Mina chose to run away from home.

It's the only world where you can travel without money, but it's a dangerous place because there are so many powerful demons.

Many vicious demons thrive, and most importantly, the inhabitants of Sephiroto are hated by demons.

On the other hand, the world on the tree is relatively safe.

What a safe and privileged environment, especially Marcto, as much as the inhabitants there, humans, had no sense of crisis at all.

"Hey, brave man? Money, what shall we do……………………………"

"I'll get it out, don't worry. There's only money."

To Mina, who looks worried, I'll take a bag of white gold coins out of my nose and laugh at her.

Before I came to the demon world, it was the money I earned selling off half the world.

I haven't used it at all at Demon King's Castle, so it remains in large quantities.

"Every time, Ali! Dozo, let's go!

As soon as I handed the store owner two pieces of white gold, a demon squad deployed around me and Mina.

Then, after a strange floating sensation - we arrive at the 'World Store of Sephiroto' in the human world 'Marcto'.

"Itellashai!"

The store owner is with the guy from the "Ketel" store exactly as he is, but the reason around it has not been clarified, so there is no answer.

It is a good idea to recognize it as such and forget it immediately.

"We're here. Let's go, then."

"Mmm... hands, don't let go, okay?

Mina follows me around, holding my hand.

When they went out of the store side by side, the first thing they saw - an old man in a suit in glasses. He has white gloves on his hands.

"Welcome, here you are. We've been expecting you, haven't we?

With a polite waist, he's bowing his head deep to me and Mina.

"Did you hear from the Demon King? I have some business to attend to today."

"Yeah, I know. So I thought I'd say hello a little bit, depending on what happens."

The old man smiled softly and walked up to me and Mina.

"Brave man."

But Mina hides behind me like she's afraid.

That's no choice either. Anyway, the way this man looks - he's almost human.

"Well, I guess we should start by introducing ourselves."

With a laugh, he slowly removed his gloves and pointed the back of his hand at me.

There is engraved a 'upside down cross' crest indicating the Demon clan.

"My name is Tanaka. I'm from Marcto and, as you can see, I was once human... but I don't have to worry about being frightened. Having been properly baptized by the Demons, he is now the one who deposits the status of the 'Marquis of the Black Demons' in the corner of the Six Demons."

Technically, an old man - Mr. Tanaka is not a human being.

So he laughed that there was no need to be frightened.

"Welcome to the human world"

Saying so, Mr. Tanaka reaches out.

I have fought the Demons many times, so naturally I know my face.

Shake hands without hesitation, and it is her turn next.

"……… Ah, no. Mina,"

She also seemed a little relieved to see Tanaka introduce herself and I shook her hand.

Shake hands and hide behind me again.

Tanaka stared at her with such tender eyes as to look at her grandson.

Mina seems scared, but not to the point where she can't move. I'm relieved about that first.

Whatever it was, Mina and I came to the human world.
