Chapter 234

The Existence Named Leona 2

“I want to become the [Final Boss]!”

Leona said it a second time . It’s that important to her?

She kept on speaking when I was about to try asking what she meant .

“I, well, want to use my power how I want, when I want, doing what I want, selfishly, mercilessly, irresponsibly, and never have to think about whatever ties people down like apologies, reasons, compensations, or annoyances . I just want to enjoy myself… In other words, I want to live my life in this world doing whatever I feel like, I want to become the Last Boss! Fufufu . ”

Leona laughed giddily . She still hadn’t finished, though .

“Haven’t there been circumstances altering Last Bosses recently like [He’s actually a good guy] or [There was no other choice but to] or [The evil ones were actually humanity]? That’s stupid, I hate stuff like that . Last Bosses should move in accordance to their desires and wield their strength how they want . An antagonist that overruns, pillages, plunders, and steals without ever feeling guilty about any of it . I want to be that sort of absolute authority . ”

In other words, someone wholly engrossed by their selfishness . Looks like the Last Boss is the existence named Leona .

“There’s even a Demon King in this world, gods too . Well, even if he’s calling himself a Demon King, he’s a Dungeon Core . The Destruction God is the God of Light and the God of Darkness is the Evil God—the Creation God isn’t doing anything . They don’t feel like Last Bosses at all yeah? That’s why I’ll turn into one and that’s just how it is . ”

It’s like that… well, it’s probably better that I don’t understand .

… Hold up . The God of Light is the Destruction God and the God of Darkness is the Evil God, the heck? That’s the first time I’ve ever heard that! There’s even a god called the Creation God? And he’s at the level of creating existence? Please don’t spout off something so crazy like it’s nothing…

“Aah, but I have my own policies though! I like to play my games with a few handicaps . ”

“… Should I ask about them? What do you mean by handicaps?”

“Ufufu, there’s quite a few, but if I were to put it simply… I favor children that please me . I don’t get off on killing them, I actually give them blessings so that they won’t die . ”

They’ve gotta be curses…

“I use some of my time to make sure that those children get strong and wise . I hope they’ll be able to kill me some day . So then when they do get strong enough to kill me, I’ll harvest them… Aah, I can’t wait! It’s my dream to turn those darlings that’ll someday get strong enough to kill me into pets unable to do anything but resent and vilify me! I just can’t wait to see what’ll happen when I still love on them… Hah hah!”

“That kind of love’s a bit much, kind of ruins the mood… was that called yandere?”

“Keima-san, I’ll raise your strength to the limit if you decide to be a candidate to be one of my pets . How about it, want to sign the contract?”

“Sorry, but I’ll decline . ”

“Ah, unfortunate . Unexpected even, there’s a lot of people that want to get strong so much that they would even sell their soul to a demon . I’d put the probability at those who sign the contract with me after I offer it at about 80%, even . Ah, I also keep my promises . That’s another one of my policies . ”

“… Leona, you’re a demon?”

“Oh dear, to call such a sweet and innocent human girl a demon… How praiseworthy . Well, there are a few heretics revering and worshiping me as the [Chaos God] or something, so I might actually be a demon . ”

What a no-good girl, I have to do something and do it quick… but I can’t turn this into a fight .

“So then, it’s your turn now, Keima-san . As someone in a similar situation as me, what do you desire in this world? I might even make you my companion if you want half of the world . ”

By similar situation, she’s probably referring to how I’m two things that should be hostile toward each other, how I’m both a Dungeon Master and a Hero .

Still though, my desire? I’ve already figured that out .

“I don’t want something outrageous like half the world . I just want to sleep in peace of mind . ”

“Oh, how lovely . I think having a simple dream like that is nice . If you ignored how f*cking boring it is, I mean . ”

“Thanks for the compliment . I think your dream’s amazing, too—if you took out how ridiculously troublesome it sounds . ”

“Now that you mention it, it is troublesome . Yeah, we’re already friends! Better yet, we’re already close friends!”

“You do know that I’m not going to pay any friend charge or sign that contract, right?”

“Aw, unfortunate . Well, alright, Haku-san’s already paying for it anyway . This place is Haku-chan’s favorite, so I promise to not wreck it . ”

So Haku-san’s paying some kind of friend charge… oh, is that why she’s had to hunt and attack dungeons for a long time? So that means… no, let’s stop there . It’s just my imagination .

“Well then, I’m going to be living here in the dungeon for a while . I’ll take some strolls now and then, but you don’t mind, do you?”

“… I don’t mind since you look more or less like a human, but please don’t say anything that could cause trouble, alright? That includes to your grandkids . ”

“It’s the same for the Succubi, though . They aren’t any different from humans if they just hide a few things . Like that waitress girl you have over there… ooh? Why’s her attack power at 0? That’s suuuuper interesting!”

“Cut it out . ”

With that, Leona snapped her fingers again . The surrounding clamor returned .

“Well, thanks for the meal . Put some rice in our provisions next time, okay?”

“I’ll consider it . ”

Returning her dishes now that she finished eating, Leona left the dining room .

“… Holy crap, I thought I was going to die…”

I suddenly started sweating .

I might’ve even fainted if I had [Blackout Resistance] set to OFF .

… I need to start using [Super Transformation] even here in the inn from now on, don’t I?

I ate my now-cold dinner and returned to my room .

By the way, after turning into the Succubi’s meal, Setsuna and Nayuta rolled out of the dungeon with vacant eyes the next morning . Well, our Golems were what rolled them out though .

Try not to catch a cold out there alright?
