chapter 35
35. Demon King! Charge!
Moving towards the gymnasium, Lette was the first to congratulate the crown princess. In addition, she released a news that she had brought her as a birthday present.
“… What do you mean? You repaired all of the academy’s magic barriers. From what I’ve heard, you’re still going to have to do repairs for another two weeks or so?”
“Yes. But not anymore. I have definitely finished it, so it will be possible to operate again from tomorrow.”
“Hey… Were you a wizard?”
I wonder if even the crown princess, who knows Lete well, is tilting her head.
It is a magic circle that forms the basis of a barrier that is unknown from the inside, but is almost invincible from the outside. It’s hard to believe that he suddenly finished it himself.
“I am not a wizard. Should I just say that I am the one who foolishly memorizes the whole thing?”
It is obvious that excessive activity or force will lead to dislike. Lethe knew very well that, by her own nature, she would not let a nobleman speak to her like that.
So her magic was deliberately left behind. So that the nobles would not lie foolishly saying that they would be wary of themselves. And the results worked out very well.
‘Not anymore.’
Lethe shrugged her shoulders once and stood beside her crown princess, looking down at her gymnasium.
“I was a little surprised. She couldn’t believe that the crown princess would give permission.”
“I didn’t like it either. But what can I do? Both hardliners and moderates wanted it, and there were things like that in places like this. There was no reason for me to stop it.”
“Justice. It’s important. Justification.”
Because of that cause, some live, some die, some occupy the throne, and some are banished. I knew it all too well, so I decided not to talk about it anymore.
“I am also looking forward to it. May those demon lords shut up the hardliners. That they also crave peace, so they can control themselves.”
“I hope so too.”
“… I hope Aren’t you sure?”
There is a slight sense of anxiety in the princess’s voice. Lethe was the one who asked her to trust the demon lords, but what the hell would she do if she suddenly came back and said that?
But Lete also had her unfair side. She herself only spoke part of her daily life, as she does now. For them, it was absolutely not possible to assume a situation that could be called a ‘battle’.
Please kids. You can do it Try to overcome the demon’s instinct! ‘, She exclaimed earnestly inwardly. I don’t know if this cry will reach or not.
*
I will correct it. The call did not reach. It seems that she never even bothered.
“Keheuk!”
Starting with Haniel’s scream in pain.
“… Queue.”
In close combat, the meta, which was dealing with dozens of knights without difficulty, was knocked out in one blow.
“Haaa—”
When her attack, which she poured all her own divine power into, was nullified, Selapi immediately admitted her defeat and put a cigarette in her mouth as if she was stunned.
“Sorry, Mika!”
“Kyaaak!”
Even Michaela, who eventually collapsed at Astaroth’s knee kick, who rushed with a smile.
Demon King, Succession. Warrior, warrior. None of the warriors could defeat the opponent. And the demon kings had no mercy in their hands. The moment the sparring began, the color of his eyes turned terrifyingly.
When Sitri neutralizes all of Haniel’s magic and mercilessly punches him in the head. When L, who hadn’t said a word, said ‘I’m weak’ and teabagged, putting a blow into Meta’s stomach. Muttering, “I’m sorry,” Marmar greeted Sellaphy with all of her holy power and then approached.
And—
“You worked hard! Mika!”
When Astaroth, who overpowered Michaela, was enjoying the victory.
“Kuhm.”
“Hmmm.”
I tried my best to hide my feelings, but all the hardliners were laughing. The picture they wanted came out.
As expected, demons are dangerous. How can we talk about the future with those who accuse us without mercy? Even the warriors are no match if they fight individually, so it’s right to organize it now.
Whether it’s going to war, or maintaining an atmosphere of social alertness and hostility equivalent to it. And furthermore, instead of making this kind of opinion, they go to the cornerstone to receive the maximum rights and compensation they can receive. The picture I wanted was drawn almost perfectly.
“….”
Looking at that figure, Lethe let out a sigh and said, “Ugh.” And she touched her forehead.
It seems that all four demon kings tried to kill each other in the beginning. The fact that all the warriors took the first attack without any hindrance is proof of that. If I had tried to do it right from the start, I would have horribly entered the field without making such concessions.
The problem is that the level of the warriors is also excellent. That’s why the attacks didn’t fall out and shook their instincts.
I want to fight. I want to play properly. I want to win! I want to kneel down my enemies before me and enjoy the feeling of victory! aaa!!
The result was this. Succession of the Demon Kings. It’s also very overwhelming. The hearts of the Crown Princess and the moderates who had been hoping for something to be done in moderation were already trampled on.
‘Thanks to that, I was really excited about them.’
Lethe clicked her tongue as she looked at the hardliners. Do they really want to start a war? I hope it can’t be After a war, everyone really dies. There’s no way they want that.
This is what they want. Just like now, they continued to tackle and annoy them, and in the end, they wanted to end with the crown princess handing over a certain amount of rights to them, asking them to negotiate.
Politics is like this after all. I take it as annoying as possible. If there is nothing to negotiate, make it. You die the moment you get pushed off the board. Become an old man in the back room and be ignored!
Lethe was well aware of that nature. So even if the hardliners kept whining, I would put up with it for now. For her, it’s the same reason for her to use her sword and for them to play with their tongues.
But that is only when you set yourself as the standard. Just like now, the Crown Princess and some moderate nobles who were in debt. Crucially, if you’re holding on to the ankles of the demon lords over there….
“Your Highness the Crown Princess.”
At that time, well, this side will become a thug too.
“I’m sorry, but I’ll have to do it my way this time.”
Sometimes people forget something. That the law is far and the fist is close. No matter how much you find a justification and talk hard, once a storm strikes, it will collapse.
Before Lethe could hear the reply from the princess, she snatched the sword from the imperial knight.
As soon as the imperial knight was startled by the sudden action and tried to grab him, the princess sighed and stopped the knight.
As Lette steps out to the center of the gymnasium, doubts appear on the faces of the nobles. In the meantime, some quick-witted people knew at once what he was trying to do.
“My children.”
In the meantime, Lethe has summoned the blinking demon lords. Then, they put forward a reward that would make them roll their eyes.
“After a while, I will only kiss the forehead to the one person who touches me.”
“… To?”
“Four?!”
“Huh?”
“… !!”
So do your best. The product you all want so much is here. Lethe, who pushed back the demon lords, stood in the center of the gymnasium and stared at the crown princess who was watching from afar.
Your intention is very good, but it is still premature. Sometimes you need a knife more than a pen. If it’s inconvenient for you to wield it, I’ll do it for you.
After all, he’s the one who came this far with his strength, so even if he did it again, there wouldn’t be a problem.
Looking at her figure, the crown princess rang her hand bell, announcing the start of her new couple.
Chang―
At the same time as that clear sound resounded, flashes of different colors from all four directions simultaneously flew towards Lethe.
*
Just before the crown princess’s hand bell rang. The demon kings looked at each other as if they had made a promise.
“….”
“….”
“….”
“….”
While they are not real sisters, they are closer than any blood ties. It was one when he was captured and sold by his own people, one when he was saved by Lethe, and one when he was happy with him.
And even at the moment when they had a very strong love for that man, they were one.
I was even more sorry about that. At the same time, an even fiercer fire blazed. Can I get a kiss on the forehead? That’s not all. Something more primitive. Something more to consider.
‘First.’
That single word filled Astaroth’s, Marmar’s, Sitri’s, and El’s heads.
This fight is not a life-and-death matter where you have to see the sisters’ blood and die. The goal is Lete, and that is an extremely simple competition that requires just a brush.
While stimulating their instincts as demons, they do not directly fall in love with their feelings for Lethe and her sisters. So, you must win this competition unconditionally!
‘I’m sorry to you guys….’
‘I don’t have any personal feelings.’
‘No matter what means, reach.’
‘… Kiss. Forehead.’
Without touching the part called ‘blood’, the part called ‘battle’ is strongly shaken. Flashes of light in both eyes. No, a frightening light that could be called madness flashed.
Yes. This is the first fight over that person. But a confrontation in which no one gets hurt or dies. That’s why I laugh even more, I’m excited, and I want to win more than anything! Definitely, unconditionally!!
Chang!―
“Ahahahaha! Ahahahaha!!”
The red-haired demon lord bursts into light.
“Whoops!!”
The dark demon lord is happy and smiles as if he doesn’t know what to do.
“Kyaaa!”
This time, armed with love, not loyalty, with the blue demon.
“….”
The silver demon king, with eyes dripping with blood.
Everyone flew towards their goal.
