Chapter 230 The Great Eight Demons Parent and Child

The 43rd day of training.

Today is a fine day. Yeah, without a single cloud in the sky, its a perfect day for a fight. Today is the day that the representatives of the Hero Alliance and the Demon Kings army will fight. This is also a farewell to my long life in the wild. Im very moved right now!

Supi~.

However, even though its 10 oclock in the morning, the good-for-nothing maid wouldnt wake up at all. I dont know how she can sleep so soundly in this tentless camp. I dont want to learn from her, but Im impressed.

Still, I havent eaten breakfast yet. However!

Yeah, now I have a reassuring ally! After I summoned Lily to report to me, she gave me something. That was this bag! At first glance, it looks like an ordinary bag, but it has a storage function, and inside it is a weeks worth of food. All of them are ready-made and do not require cooking. I heard that it was from Touko, saying that I might need it.

To think that Touko has become able to pay attention this much. The training of the Great Eight Demons Lily is awesome!

While paying my respects toward the sleeping good-for-nothing maid, I began my slightly late breakfast. Yeah, its delicious.

Fwah? Fuwaaaaah. Goshujin-sama, good morning.

Shes finally awake, huh. Lily gets up and stretches her arms.

Yeah, good morning. Im eating first.

Fuhehe, what a blissful life that I can see Goshujin-samas face as soon as I wake up. The food also has been prepared by Touko-chan. I hope this life will last forever.

Well, today is the designated day of the challenge. My duty will be finished after I watch over it, so just enjoy the last day of this life to your hearts content.

W-What!? Already!?

Rather than already, it is finally. When I get home, Ill have a big event in my life waiting for me, but anyway, I want to return to a life with a roof over my head. I want a life where I can take a bath.

When I was thinking about that, I suddenly remembered something. Well, its not directly related to todays duel, but since Lily is here, lets ask her about it.

By the way, is the judge from the Great Eight Demons going to come to the battle between the Hero Alliance and Hunds army today? You are more or less Hunds enemy, so you are not the judge, right?

Fueh? The judge~?

Just show some motivation already.

Well, with the lottery at the last meeting, Im sure Mama is in charge of it.

Lilys mother, Maria, is the judge, huh? Shes also acting in a different way than Lily. She is, but her true colors are always showing. How should I put it, she doesnt act perfectly like Lily, but she acts depending on her mood. I dont think it will happen, but in the worst case scenario, she might interfere in the middle of the battle for some stupid reason like because it looks fun. Ive set this up this far, so I cant let her interfere with the fight against the Great Eight Demons.

Lily, I want to say hello to Maria before the battle begins. Can you guide me to her?

Ehh, to Mamas place!? Ive decided to go into demon king mode in front of Mama and the other Great Eight Demons, so thats a bit tough~. Im so tired! I also have accumulated stress!

Hou, Im exhausted both physically and mentally, but you have the nerve to say that, huh? Ive been tolerating you because youve been doing your best, but Im going to change my mind.

You should take a look at your lazy life the past few days! I wont accept any opinion from the good-for-nothing maid who left the night watch to me and slept until this hour! Just lead the way!

Noooooo! If I meet Mama, she will pester me! Hey, Lily-chan, when are you going to get married? Mama is very tolerant, so its fine even if you become a mistress. You are already old enough, you know~? So, when? something like that! Absolutely no!

You got the energy to imitate Maria very well, arent you!? You dont have to come, at least tell me where she is!

I dont want that, too! Please meet her after you accepted me! Please support me!

Thats not something a maid would say! Just tell me already where Maria is!

Lily completely refused to tell me where Maria is. When I thought about using my last resort, she came.

Hey, did you call me~?

Maria is standing upside down on the branch of a tree that I have been using as my home position for reconnaissance. Hanging with her knees? No, shes standing upside down from her soles. Its amazing that even her skirt is going against gravity.

Ara, if it isnt Mama. What are you doing here? A walk?

!?

When Maria appeared, Lily immediately transformed into the Great Eight Demons Lily. It was in an instant that I reflexively did a double take. You can do it if you try, huh.

Ehehe~. I felt something fun was happening here, so I came. Um, are you Black now? Or Deris?

Deris is fine.

When I answered so, Maria fell from her upside-down position, rotating, and landed on the ground. W-Well, it was abrupt, but concerning the result, this is fine. I didnt expect that the person I was looking for would come to me instead.

Its been a while since Ive met you as Deris! Ive heard it from Lily-chan and Alezel at the last meeting~. You are going to marry Nell soon, right? Congratulations~

I quietly turn my head to Lily and glared at her. I told you to keep it secret, didnt I?

Haa, I tried to stop her, you know? Alezel accidentally spoke it. Also, Mama, dont say something misleading.

Ehehe, sorry~

Maria stuck out her little tongue and giggled. Think about your age, is what I want to say, but I guess that doesnt matter to vampires. Good grief, its going to be troublesome. Ive to prepare myself for the ceremony. Ah, thats right.

Maria, you came as a judge to watch Hund fight, right? Since you are here, how about you join us and watch together?

Eh, are you sure!? Ah, but, is it okay for the judge, whos in charge of fairness and justice, to do that? Hmm, it seems safe, but its maybe out saut? Im going to ask Old Vakala

I have plenty fried garlic, you know?

Saut is almost the same as safe, yep!

(TLn: safe-out = saut.)

Thank you Touko, nice choice. With this, I and Lily, who has become a capable woman, can stop Maria in case something were to happen.

By the way, what were you doing with Lily-chan, Deris? What were you doing?

Hey, why did you say it again with a different nuance?

Dont say something like that with such conviction.

Theres my disciple in that Hero Alliance. I came to see the battle as a master. The image I sent last time was like an extra.

Ah~, come to think of it, I might have heard the rumor about it. Fufu~, I know Deriss preference~. Your disciple is boing-boing, right!?

Wrong, shes flat.

You are being vulgar, you know? Just what do you think a girls body is?

Ah, sorry.

Lily has a point, but I dont want to hear it from her.
