“1…… 2…… 3…… ah, it seems like I help people and get some money.”

“Ha? How much?”

“10,000 G”

“That high!?”

“Next, is me ……. Ah. I am 3, too.”

“Then, take your piece”

“Yes. Err…… ah, it is said that the person who will roll the next dice will give me 50,000 G as a birth congratulatory gift.”

“As I said, it’s that high!? Wait, isn’t the person next to you me!”

I ———— Bell Gisele, with the Fat Terry Hem, and overly skinned Bosco Dan, was playing a certain game.

“Well, nevertheless …… humans can think of something very interesting, can’t they”

“That’s right. This, what is the name of this game?”

“Certainly …… I think it was called the 『Life Game』.”

Yes, in front of us, there is a board with a path, and instructions written on a lot of small squares in it, and a piece to move at the board. And, a dice that decides how many squares can you advance were being rolled.

“But this, seems to be a play brought in by a hero from another world, even if they are human beings, you know?”

“Hoo. A different world huh…… I wonder what kind of place is it”

In the word different world that Bosco said, I was interested.

We’re fighting the humans now, but I don’t like war. In the first place, we demons are only fighting to protect ourselves.

“I hope it’s a world without war.”

I involuntarily said so.

When the atmosphere becomes calm somewhere, Terry deliberately changed the topic.

“Ah, why don’t we play with 『Playing card*』 this time?”

“Trump? What’s, that”

“Err…… there are four types of cards: heart, diamond, spade, and clover, and there are cards with numbers from 1 to 13 for each type. ”

“Hoo. So, what kind of game can you play with that?”

I suddenly became interested in it, and when I asked him, this time, Bosco answered me in between.

“From what I heard from my friend…… 『Poker』 or 『Old Maid』 …… ah, and also 『Doubt』. Anyway, it’s like you can play a lot of things with this playing card, you know.”

“Poker? Rather, old maid is it…… does that mean that a grandma shouldn’t play it? That’s not so much.”

“Oh, that doesn’t mean that a grandma shouldn’t actually play it, though ……”

“I don’t really understand it. And then? What are we going to do?”

A lot of words that didn’t make sense popped out, but anyway, I don’t know its fun without playing it.

Nevertheless…… humans are also amazing. They come up with a lot of ways to play this much with one object.

“I agree…… the only thing I remember is about the rules of 『doubt』……”

“Well, it’s fine. let’s do it”

I ask Terry to explain the simple rules.

Putting it simply, it turned out that it was a play where you hold the cards that were distributed in a way that the other party can’t see it, and put the cards face down in order from the number 1.

Well, when it’s your turn, even if you don’t have the card on hand that you have to put out, it seems that you have to play a card with a different number without getting exposed to your opponent.

Supposing, if you think that your opponent is giving out a false card, and if it’s indeed a lie, when you say 『Doubt』, the person who put out the false card will pick up all the cards in the field, and on the other hand, if it is the truth, the person who said Doubt will pick up all the cards …….

What the, coming up with such a harsh game, these human beings……!

It’s too frightening that I can’t say 『Doubt』!? The risk is too huge! …… Hah!?

Is it such a play!? Can someone enjoy this kind of thrill!? …… I think Leiya-sama will like it.

Well anyway, let’s actually try it, so we started the Doubt.

Fuh …… In short, I don’t even have to tell a lie. This kind of play, I can do it with composure!

“It’s 7.”

“It’s 8, right.”

“Then, 9 ————”

“”Doubt””

“Noooooooooooon!?”

Result———— I was defeated.

As I learned later, this play seems to be, played by at least four people. …… Goddammit!

When the three of us are quite enjoying our daily life like this, suddenly, the door of the room opened strongly. The one who opened the door, was Leiya-sama.

“……”

“Le,leiya-sama?”

Leiya-sama’s expression when she entered the room, was surprisingly serious at us.

Not responding to our call, Leiya-sama walked straight towards the direction of us.

We look up at Leiya-sama, who stopped in front of us as we were in the posture of enjoying ourselves with the cards.

Then, Leiya-sama slowly opened her mouth, which had been closed until now.

“…… The Black Dragon God-sama …… has been defeated.”

“““……Ha?”””

We all raise a stupefied voice.

The Black dragon god…… has been defeated?

No, that wouldn’t be possible. That being, is arguably the strongest force of the Demon army, except for the Demon King.

They must have felt the same way as me. Terry and Bosco are also stunned.

While looking down at us like that, Leiya-sama once again, said clearly.

“The Black Dragon God-sama, has been defeated.”

“““…………”””

To the expression of Leiya-sama who is too serious, we realize that those words were true.

We, didn’t expect anyone would defeat the Black Dragon God. That’s why, we were surprised and dumbfounded. Actually I, wanted to shout 『Doubt』 right now.

“From here on, in order to regain the power of the Black Dragon God, I’m going to the 【Labyrinth of the Black Dragon God】”

“The,then we too ……!”

“You guys, while I’m away, will remain here.”

When she asked with a serious expression, we have no choice but to shut up. Besides, even if we follow Leiya-sama, we’ll surely become stumbling blocks.

However, in the first place, this wouldn’t have happened if we didn’t think about having the Black Dragon God-sama kill humans. Because of that, the Black Dragon God and Leiya-sama are bothered ……

When I involuntarily regretted what we had done, Leiya-sama exhaled a sigh.

“I can somehow imagine what you guys were thinking, though…… but, you didn’t even expect that the Black Dragon God-sama would be defeated, did you? Therefore, you don’t have to worry about it. Besides, although your thoughts are still sweet, your way of thinking was good. Fortunately, the Black Dragon God-sama is sure to be resurrected thanks to it being defeated in the labyrinth …… However, its power is not perfect, so we’re going to fully revive him.”

We, were touched by Leiya-sama’s words and ability to act.

This person is really amazing…… She doesn’t have a boyfriend, though.

And certainly, if it’s Leiya-sama, she will be able to regain the power of the Black Dragon God-sama.

When I look at Leiya-sama with my eyes shining, Leiya-sama muttered a little self-mockery.

“Well…… Demon King-sama’s power, I can’t recover it.”

“That is……”

“……Anyway! You guys, while I’m away, should protect this castle well.”

“““Roger!”””

When Leiya-sama heard our reply and nodded with satisfaction, she deployed a transition magic circle, and disappeared from the spot.

When I saw Leiya-sama disappear, I call out to Terry and Bosco.

“Hey, you guys ……”

“What’s wrong?”

“Somehow, she had a serious expression, but ……”

They both, seem to be worried about me. What nice subordinates I have!

With such a thing in mind, this very moment, I simply confessed what I was worried about.

“We were left with house-sitting, but…… what should we do?”

“”…… Belle-san ……””

The cold gazes of the two were painful.
