Chapter 213 A Parting Gift

Hah!

Gah!

Haru grabbed the thrusting spear and threw the merman boss over her shoulder with one arm. The sound of the whole body being slammed into the surface of the sea may have been the loudest sound of the day. I dont remember where Ive heard it, but I heard that being slammed to the water surface at a tremendous speed has the same impact as falling on concrete. I guess his pain is like that now. Apparently, this is the end.

It was a good match. It was a good entertainment for my meal.

Haruna was having a hard time more than I thought. The Four Heavenly Kings of the Sea Demons are enemies we cant underestimate. And there are three more.

Well, its actually only two who can move.

Deris-san, do you know something?

Not at all.

Ohh, its been a while since Ive seen such a blatant expression from Chinatsu. It sure is nostalgic.

Its a joke. Well, I know the scale of the enemy to some extent.

Haa. Looking at that attitude, you dont seem to have the intention to tell us, huh.

Im glad that Chinatsu is so quick on the uptake.

Im not happy about that.

Chinatsu turned her face away. No matter how cute our disciples are, it is strictly forbidden to spoil them. I want them to do their best on their own until they defeat the Domination Craver Hund-kun. Im only in a position to set up the minimum necessary arrangements and watch from afar. But that gesture, I think its starting to resemble Nells a little bit. I guess disciples take after their masters, huh.

Well, Haru has defeated the enemys boss, so you should go back, Chinatsu. The enemys army has been defeated, but in a sense, the real thing starts from here. Its going to take a lot of work to get information out of that overserious boss.

Jeez, you look like you are enjoying it. Deris-san, just because its a lunch box made by your beloved wife, it doesnt mean you have to force yourself to eat it all. You have to talk things out as a family. If you got ill because of it, its Nell-shish who will be sad. Well then!

Ah, yes. Good luck~

Chinatsu jumped out of the bushes on the cape where Im hiding and left quickly. On the way, she doesnt forget to detoxify the sea and carefully inspects every corner. Noticing Chinatsu, Haru approached her while dragging the unconscious merman boss.

She sure is reliable, huh.

Then, my task now is how should I convey the impression of this lunch box. . Damn, its a difficult task.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The center of the world, the continent of Judah. The outside of the old castle is surrounded by storms, and the rain is constantly hitting the walls. Also, as if to imitate the wildness outside, a dark cloudy atmosphere is dominating inside the castle.

Hah. After all that talk, the result is horrible, isnt it? The Four Heavenly something, was it? To think that the executive youve raised by yourself is defeated by that human girl.

The one who said such things was the Degenerate Demon Lilyvia whos wearing the bewitching Demon King clothes. Of course, it was directed toward the Domination Craver Hund whos sitting next to her. Its not that Lilyvia is the one who did the work, but she was poking at him.

In front of him, theres a magic item that projected an image, showing the scene of a girl fighting against Gustus, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Sea Demons. It seemed that her subordinate, Black, had gone out of his way to project this image. Theres no sound, but the image is clear. Hund analyzes that the girl is not an ordinary person since she could defeat the level 6 Gustus who was close to level up. He thinks that shes probably one of the heroes.

The defeat of his right-hand man, the Four Heavenly Kings, will be a huge blow to his army. But that doesnt make him angry. Its his responsibility as the Demon King who calculated that the enemies are probably level 4 or 5. Also, what Lilyvia pointed out is reasonable. He reflected that there are many points to review, such as the strategies and military regulation methods.

However, theres only one thing that he cant just accept.

(Why are the Great Eight Demons here again!? Moreover, everyone is present!)

Just the other day, he was summoned for the lets stop fighting each other, if not, well kill you! meeting, and he was summoned again today. Hund was busy organizing his troops for the upcoming invasion of the Jiba continent, but he came here in a hurry, thinking that there was a major incident that would shake the Great Eight Demons. He came, but what was actually happening was a viewing party that reflected the battle between his subordinate and the hero. And as Hund pointed out, all of the Great Eight Demons are present. Do they have nothing better to do? Hund is at his wits end.

However, he bears it. He thinks of it as a trial for himself who has just become the Great Eight Demons and suppresses the negative emotions that he wants to spit out. This behavior is probably what makes him different from the low-class demon kings.

Now, now, Lily-chan. Lets leave it at that~

Mama, shut up. This is my problem.

Waaaa, my daughter is in a rebellious phase~

Maria, shes been rebellious since a long time ago. Shes a lot like you when you were little.

Thats not true! I was much cuter!

Now, now, dont fight. Now that we have this special Will the two of them sign the documents? Lets watch Hund-kuns invasion! meeting. As a strict judge, Id prefer that you dont provoke each other until youve signed the official documents of the declaration of war.

The top three of the Great Eight Demons are present. The Skyscraper Agalia, who seems to be the cause of this meeting, seems to be enjoying it even though he said that.

As long as I dont overthrow the Hero Alliance and take control of the continent of Jiba, the Degenerate Demon wont sign the document, was it?

Thats the agreement. Youre not going to tell me now that you cant fulfill it, are you?

Hmph, Ive no such intention. Still, its true that the hero is stronger than I expected. If so, the proper way is to attack them with greater force, right?

Hund gets up from his seat.

I dont know what you are talking about. I only know the improper way.

What, are you leaving already, Newcomer-kun? Youre impatient as always~

Still, it seems that youve decided what you are going to do next. Okay, I allow it. But, make sure you win next time, okay? If you lose, it means that you are not qualified.

Ill keep it deep in my heart.

You have a difficult personality, huh. Wait, take this.

Alezel of Awe threw a small bottle of green liquid at Hund.

Whats this?

A secret medicine that condenses the extract of the world tree. I heard from an acquaintance of mine that the greatest despair that can happen in this world is when the Demon King whos about to be defeated recovers completely. Ill give you a special service for free as a parting gift.

Im grateful!

Hund opens the door. With the gazes of those who stand at the top directed at his back, Hund went into the battle.
