Translated by Mlzkzr Edited by Mlzkzr

In the Demon King’s territory, 【Helsa】, dark forests and ruined land was spreading.

In the center of such Helsa, there’s the huge city 『Gran Beige』.

It was also the central city where many demons lived, and the Demon king’s castle was located.

Surrounded by huge castle walls, the Demon Castle intimidates the ones who will look at it.

The appearance of that castle, was exactly like the castle where the Demon King, who is feared by humans, lives.

In the conference room of the Demon king’s castle, the 50th Demon King Army Congress was about to be held.

◇◆◇

I ———— Reiya Falzer, after helping with the Black Dragon God’s revival, was heading to the Demon King’s Castle.

The reason, was that the Demon King Army Congress will be held. However, the contents of the assembly are yet to be known.

Partly because I was helping for the power of the Black Dragon God to return, I was a little late, so I headed to the conference room a little faster.

As I walked down the long marble floor with red carpet, I reached the appointed conference room.

The door of the conference room, is made up of solid wood, and no matter how many times I visit it, I’m always reminded of the importance of this place.

Once I settled my breath, I knocked on the door and said my name.

“Commander of the Third Unit of the Demon Army, Leiya Falser. I have just arrived.”

After telling my name, the door is automatically opened.

Inside, as I thought, all the executives were there except for me.

Behind the table, there is an intimidating crimson door.

Since I didn’t want to stand still at the door, I quickly sat down at an empty seat.

It doesn’t really matter, but every time I sit down, I want one of these chairs inside my room. The seat is as comfortable as ever.

When I was taking a breather like that, a demon came to poke at me.

“Oy, Leiya! How can you be late for an important time of assembly!”

“Shut up …… I have things to do, as well.”

“Is there anything more important than assembly! Be on time!”

“Really, you’re such a pain in the ass. I’m properly here, so it’s okay if I’m a little late.”

“What was that!?”

The demons who came at me in detail was Urs Bamyu, the commander of the 5th unit of the Demon army.

He was wearing a close-fitting black military uniform of the demon army, with a blue mantle.

His muscles were so bulged that it can even be seen through his military uniform, and to be honest, I’ve always found him sweltering and irritating.

The dark skin and the huge horns sprouting from his temples, prove that Urs is a demon.

Urs’ race is of the Ogre race, that exists in large numbers among the demons.

However, he isn’t just any Ogre, he’s the head of the Royal Ogre Clan, which unites all the ogre clans.

Ignoring all of Urs’ words, the female demon sitting next to him opens her mouth.

“It’s no good, you know? Leiya. You have to come on time. Moreover, Urs don’t get too hot, now?”

“Nu,nuh…… If Rialetta says so ……”

“Understood……”

The one who chided me and Urus, was the commander of the 4th unit of the Demon Army, Rialetta Balheim.

She has a loose wavy cream-colored hair and gentle eyes with brown iris.

She has a bit of a droopy eyes, and there’s a crying mole under her right eye that’s kind of strangely sexy, if I do say so myself, but she’s a woman who is as beautiful as I am.

It should be that, since her race is Succubus, and she is considered to be the most beautiful Queen of them all.

She and I, are close to each other because we are the only two female demons among the executives, and I call her Ria.

Since her skin color isn’t dark like Urus, she looks almost the same as a human being.

However, the bat-like wings that grow from her back, proved that she was a demon.

“Watch out next time, alright?”

Looking at Ria laughing in troubled way, I and Urus became somewhat uncomfortable.

It’s strange. Ria and I should be of the same age, though ……

When I interact with her, I can’t help but think of Ria as a big sister.

However, despite being a succubus, Ria is staggeringly innocent. In the past, when I lent her a little extreme romance novel, she came to me the next day with a red face to return it.

Also, even though Ria was quite innocent, her chest is very big. Even now, the chest part of the black military uniform for women on her seems to be popping off.

I don’t think I have small breasts either, but Ria beats me when it comes to it.

Kuh……!

If I had those breasts, I’d be having a hot night with one of my boyfriends by now. ……!

“Hey, Leiya? Why are you looking at my chest like you’re trying to avenge your parents?”

“That is, you should put your hand on your chest and ask yourself that.”

“Eeh?”

Ria seriously puts her hand on her chest, and tilts her head.

At that moment, her chest didn’t fit in her hand at all. ……What? Is this feeling of defeat.

When I think about such a stupid thing, a man in a languid atmosphere sitting a little away opened his mouth.

“Hey, has it started yet? If nothing will happen, I’ll go home and sleep, alright.”

Saying that, the man let out a big sigh.

———— Commander of the Second unit of the Demon Army, Zorua Waltore.

That’s, also the name of the man, unlike the Black Dragon God and the White Dragon God, who’s truly one of the strongest individuals of the demon army.

He was wearing the same military uniform as Urs, but he didn’t wear the cloak, and it’s entirely loose.

His longish silver hair is tied at the back, and his red eyes are lacking in ambition.

Unlike Urs and Ria, it is almost impossible to detect any difference between him and humans base on appearances.

However, looking closely, it can be seen that Zorua’s canines peeking through his mouth are longer than humans.

Zorua’s race is a vampire. Moreover, he’s a perfect vampire that surpassed his own 『Progenitor』, the true ancestor, and overcame all of their weaknesses as a vampire.

Because of that, Urs, who heeded me who was late for the assembly, cannot preached Zorua. He’s a weak-hearted person with a big body.

As he sent a cold glance at Urs, Urs noticed it and awkwardly averted his gaze.

Well, Zorua is so strong that even Ria wavered as she pays attention to him.

That is, he was called the 『King of Black Crimson』.

———— There are two more similar monsters like him, though.

“——Don’t complain, Zorua.”

“Ah?”

It was quiet …… but the voice is so intimidating that everyone who heard it involuntarily withered.

That voice, was indeed directed to Zorua.

“Shut up and wait.”

The one who opened his mouth even though he simply had a few words, was one of the few people who could rebuke Zorua here.

Zeros Albana, captain of the first unit of the Demon Army.

He leads the first division, which is called the strongest in the demon army, and is an absolute powerhouse known as the 『Extinguisher(Deleter)』 in the world.

He has a rough blue hair, and sharp golden dragon-like eyes. He’s expressionless, but has fearless facial expression.

He was well-dressed in black military uniform. However, unlike Urs’, his clothes don’t bulge with muscles, and it gives him a smart look.

To such Zeros, Zorua glared with his draconic eyes of tremendous blood thirst which was unlike before.

“Shut up …… don’t give me instructions.”

“With your own selfishness, are you going to give trouble to Luthia-sama who summoned us this time?”

“I don’t care. I, hate troublesome things.”

Zeros gives a sharp look to Zorua, who tells him that he looks like a real pain in the ass at the depths of his mind.

“Really ———— Then, will you disappear here? Bat”

Zeros, while releasing an ominous magic power from his body, quietly stated.

“I,isn’t this bad? As expected, if Zeros goes on a rampage, I can’t stop him.”

“You, can’t stop Zorua from going on a rampage as well.”

“Tha,that’s true, isn’t it!?”

They were completely, not persuaded at all.

Rather than that, if Zeros really goes on a rampage, this Demon King’s Castle itself is …… No, the Grand Beige itself will disappear.

“Ze,Zeros! Calm down!”

Ria desperately tried to calm him down, but Zeros wouldn’t listen.

At that time, jet-black darkness was oozing out from Zorua’s body as he confronted Zeros.

He said the derogatory word 『bat』, which is a forbidden word for vampires. It isn’t strange for him to snap.

Zorua replied to Zeros, while wrapping his own body with darkness.

“————I’ll crush you, lizard”

I wonder why he made a statement that will make the other person angry again.

I unintentionally thought so.

I also, like to ridicule and torment my opponents, so I can’t say much about other people, though.

By the way, Zeros’ race is unknown.

As Zorua have indicated, his eyes are like that of a dragon, but he wasn’t from a dragon tribe.

That’s because Zeros’ parents are normal demons.

And, Zeros who was born from such parents, instead of having horns, which is the proof of being a demon, he was a so-called mutant born with overwhelming power that surpasses even Urs’, the Ogre king.

『King of Black Crimson』 and 『Extinguisher(Deleter)』…… if these two people collide, the rest of us in the vicinity will disappear altogether.

When I think of such a thing carefreely, Ria says in a shouting manner.

“Wait, Leiya! You help too!”

“It’s impossible, you know. Because, both of them are so strong that they are on different dimensions.”

“That’s why I’m telling you to help, aren’t I!”

Incidentally, though, I didn’t need Ria to tell me that, I was using my own inherent magic, 『Air Magic』, to stop them myself.

But, Zorua covered my magic completely with darkness, and Zeros erased my magic itself. I don’t think it’s worth resisting anymore.

That’s why, I gave up and started eating the sweets on the table.

“Ah Mou ! Urs! You help me a little!”

“Eh!? M,me, that’s…… that’s right! I’m hungry! My stomach is a little empty, so I can’t help you! Well, my bad!”

“Hey! Are you kidding me!?”

Urs, even if he looks really intimidating on the outside, he’s too small on the inside to be worth talking about.

Regardless, it was at this very moment when the atmosphere drifting between Zorua and Zeros was explosive.

Zorua and Zeros …… in the corner, the last and strongest along with these two, has finally made a move.

“Zorua-chan, Zeros-chan, that’s no good, you know?”

Such a man, with an effeminate tone struck the heads of Zorua and Zeros.

Zudooooooooooooon!

Just by tapping their heads, Zorua and Zeros were slammed into the desk in the conference room. Or rather, that wasn’t the sound you make when you hit a head, right?

Despite such a shocking way of stopping them, Zorua and Zeros, had an unscathed but ill-looking expression.

“……I’m sorry, I got too hot.”

“……Tsk, my bad.”

———— The Demon Army Punishment Unit Commander, Jade Reveen.

His race is Incubus, and he’s no different from the usual handsome guy, but …… yes, he’s not interested in us women at all, and he’s always chasing men. His obsession with men may even be worse than I am.

But, I think it’s really a waste.

He has beautiful blond hair, and purple eyes. He was a man of gentle manners, and an ideal lady-killer, and if he didn’t really like men, he would have been popular with women by now.

Well, even if he isn’t, he often makes a girls talk(?) with me and Ria, and now we treat her like a normal woman.

When Zorua rubs the back of his head, and Zeros has an indescribable expression, Jade sends a flirtatious glance at the two.

“Good boys. I’ll reward you with a kiss later.”

““I’m good””

Oh, Jade is amazing.

Zorua and Zeros, who are supposed to be enemies, rejected it with splendid harmony.

Well, there’s likely going to be a lot of problems with the demon army, but I had a feeling that things were going to be well for some reason.

After such an act, when we spent a few moments on calming down, the red door at the back of the conference room opened.

“!”

We, stand up on the spot the moment the crimson door opens.

Then, from the crimson door, two figures appeared.

With deep indigo blue hair and dark eyes.

She has a face like an elaborate doll, expressionless. She was astonishingly beautiful.

She was wearing a black dress, and a long fur coat of the same black color over it.

The way she walks while drifting elegance and overwhelming atmosphere, is exactly that of a King’s.

Yes, she is ———— the daughter of the Demon King, Luthia Butte-sama.

When Luthia-sama quietly enters the conference room, she stops in front of the table.

And then, she looked over us, and opened her mouth.

“————Everyone, for accepting this convocation, thank you.”

Just, those few words.

The moment I, heard those few words, as I take out my weapon, which can be called my pride and soul, I thrust it to the ground, and fragilely hang my head.

This is, the highest level of salute for us demons.

By thrusting our pride and soul into this land of Helsa, we dedicate all of ourselves to this land…… it was an action to show that.

I was wondering if anyone around Zorua would do this salute, but apparently, it was a needless fear, and everyone was showing a firm loyalty.

As we were expressing our loyalty in this way, another guy who had just entered the room spoke up.

“Mhm, umu umu. I appreciate your efforts”

This time, on the contrary, we became instantly frenzied inside by that person’s words.

Kreis …… that was the name of the man who entered the room with Luthia-sama, and it was the guy I hated the most.

He has a chubby, greasy face, and fat body. He has a rough nose, and small stature. His forehead has a poor excuse small horns, so you can tell that this guy is a demon.

I don’t particularly hate him because he looks different.

What I didn’t like about this guy, was the way he looked down on all of us. Kreis is a close aide of the Demon Lord-sama, who is also Luthia-sama’s father, so he’s always putting on airs.

Even now, we came because we were called by Luthia-sama, not because of this fucking bastard Kreis.

This guy, isn’t here as an executive who leads the demon army like us …… but, as a close aide to the Demon King-sama.

The reason, why such a guy is an aide to the Demon King-sama, is because of this guy’s power of fortune-telling.

It’s vexing, but this guy’s fortune-telling is spot on, and he has predicted and guessed human invasions many times in the past.

That’s why, since he can always predict the danger towards the Demon King-sama, the Demon King-sama had put him besides him.

However, from my point of view, this guy is fishy.

There are times I feel doubtful about his usual attitude, and whether he even is loyal to the Demon Lord-sama or not.

Perhaps, it’s not just me, I think the other executives think the same way.

Not knowing that I was thinking that way, Kreis continued to talk by himself.

“Humph. Well, it’s only natural for you to gather for me…… I’m not sure what to say! Nihihihihihihin!”

What is that laugh. It’s the first time I’ve heard it.

I don’t care what he says, but when I can’t help but quip about him inwardly, Luthia opens her mouth.

“…… Kreis. You silence”

“……Humph, my apologies”

Does he really think so……

After reproving Kreis, Luthia-sama, asked us to raise our face and urged us to sit in our chairs.

When we sit in our chairs, Kreis opens his mouth again.

“Nufuh, So? Luthia-sama. What kind of business did you have for calling us this time?”

Kreis came out of the same door as Luthia-sama, so I thought that he knew what the assembly was about, but apparently, he doesn’t.

“……Yes. This time, I asked everyone to gather …… because I wanted to talk about the alliance with the Welmburg Kingdom.”

“Wha!?”

『!!!!』

We opened our eyes to Luthia-sama’s words.

Because, as Luthia-sama have said, if we were going to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Welmburg, in other words…… it means that we’re forming an alliance with humans.

It is the human beings who have sealed the Demon King-sama, and it’s also the human beings who have oppressed us demons for many years.

To form an alliance with such human beings…….

What’s more, of all places, why is it the Welmburg Kingdom!? It’s the same place that my utterly useless subordinates, Belle and the others, went to, the capital city of Terviel, on their own without my permission, and have scattered transition magic circles all over the place!?

……If, we really are going to form an alliance with them, what should I do.

I,it’ll be okay, right? It’s only 100, and monsters might have been transferred instead of the humans.

I,indeed! It’s important to think positively about everything!

“? Leiya, you look somehow pale……”

“Eh!?Tha,thathathathat can’t be true! Mou, you’re saying something strange, Ria!”

“…… Are you really okay?”

Ria gave me a worried look, but there was no way I could honestly tell the truth here.

…… Those guys, when I return, I’ll punish them.

When I was floating a black smile inwardly, Kreis shouts in a hurry.

“Wha,what are you talking about! Forming an alliance with humans!? What kind of nonsense is that ……!”

“No, I’m serious.”

“Wha!?”

To Luthia-sama, who is seriously thinking about forming an alliance with humans, Kreis becomes speechless.

“…… Certainly, for us, humans are hateful beings. That’s because humans have treated us like livestock for a long time. My father…… the Demon King, was also sealed by them.”

“The,then……!”

“……But, that’s why…… we need to compromise.”

“I don’t understand! Have you lost your mind!”

“……I’m serious. If we dwell on the painful past forever, we will never laugh tomorrow. I, want to regain our true smile back …… To overcome the past, I think we need to coexist with humans.”

The eyes of Luthia-sama, who said this, had a strong will in them.

That is, it draws an individual in and overwhelms the listener…… it was like that of the Demon king-sama.

“…… In addition, there’s a friend of mine, who is an adventurer. According to such friend, I heard that the king of the Welmburg Kingdom is actively trying to build friendly relations with the demons.”

“Su,such as the likes of an adventurer’s story, it’s decided that it’s a lie ————”

The moment Kreis said so, Luthia-sama unleashed a terrible killing intent.

“……Saying bad things, to my friend…… I won’t permit it.”

“Nfuh, humph ……”

Kreis who was exposed to her bloodlust, snorted more than usual, and his face became pale. Serves you right.

However, Kreis, begins to scream badly on the brink of death.

“Humph…… tha,that’s right! Luthia-sama! Fortune-telling …… my forecast! The last time I foresee the future, it was said that getting involved with humans would bring great calamity to us demons! Therefore, we should stop forming an alliance with humans!”

“……If, your fortune-telling is true …… then at that time, I’ll offer my head.”

“Su,such a thing, won’t convince the populace————”

Don!

Suddenly, as if to block Kreis’ words, a strong bang was heard on the table.

When I looked in that direction, I saw Zorua glaring at Kreis, without trying to hide his annoyance.

“Oy, pig. You’re being annoying since a while ago. Just shut up and obey Luthia-sama. If you won’t, then ———— I’ll crush you, alright?”

……Is Zorua, one of those so-called 『 Tsundere 』 fellows?

After all, he’s showing loyalty to Luthia-sama and the Demon King-sama.

When I was thinking of such a silly thing, this time, Zeros, who has a cat-dog friendship with Zorua, also opened his mouth.

“I don’t like the fact that I agree with Zorua, but …… Kreis. If you want, I can wipe you out right now, okay?”

Kreis, who was being looked with bloodlust by the two strongest men, made his face pale the same as before.

And, as if to pour even more salt to his wound, Jade also opens his mouth.

“Mm~, certainly, aren’t you being a little too selfish? If you’re saying that you’ll take such behavior too much …… tonight, I’ll give you a hot punishment, okay?” (TN: LOL)

“Hi,hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!”

How should I put it, in the case of Jade, it seems that his face became deep blue in a different sense, but in the end, Kreis was glared at by the three strongest forces of the demon army, and he had already gone beyond the blue color and his face had turned white.

Well, it’s natural, but when Kreis, perhaps he couldn’t stand it anymore, hurriedly ran to the red door ……

“Re,remember this! You will soon realize that it’s impossible to form an alliance with humans!”

Spatting out such lines which feels like that of a small fry undisguisedly, he left.

…… What did he want? That guy.

When the atmosphere of the conference room calms down due to the disappearance of Kreis, Luthia-sama opens her mouth again.

“……Everyone, thank you. Indeed, some countries, like the Kaizer Empire, are still trying to defeat us. In such a situation, how dangerous it is to form an alliance with humans…… I know it. But, still…… we have to move forward. That’s why……I need everyone’s help……”

In the end, Luthia-sama weakly told so.

Our answer has already been decided.

When we executives stand up all at once, we answered with the highest degree of salute.

『Our heart, is with the Demon King-sama————』

◇◆◇

Inside the darkness, a man hatefully says.

“F*ck f*ck f*ck……! With this, my plan is……”

The man, who said so far, took a deep breath once, and as he calmed down, he muttered by himself.

“Well, the plan went awry, but …… we’re still at the stage where I can fix it. There’s nothing anyone can do to stop my plans. Hihin hihin hihin!”
