Chapter 338 The Center of the Turmoil

So, youve to come in order, starting from the fourth rank Rimudo. If you use the magic item we gave you during the meeting, you can contact us anytime. Its a promise, okay?

Yeah, I get it. Well keep our promise since were the ones who asked. So, youve to keep your promise too.

Haha! Isnt it a little early to be worrying about the door? Well, whatever. Then, see you~

After the meeting was over, Agalia and other upper ranks of the Great Eight Demons prepared themselves to leave Al Nova. I was preparing for the worst case, so it was somewhat a let-down. Well, during the meeting, they said that they had a lot of free time, but they are people who have responsibility after all. In reality, they must be very busy, but they dont show it on their faces. As expected of them.

By the way, I found a good tavern in a nearby city. How about we go there after this?

Thats nice! Lets go! Lets drink all night!

Eh~, staying up late is not good for my skin~

Youre a vampire. On the contrary, isnt it bad for your skin to be awake in the morning and afternoon?

Then, I will drink too! Then, I will sleep in the morning!

Vakala, do they have sweet liquor? Its even better if the alcohol content is low. Also, even better if they have souvenirs for my family.

Hohoho, dont underestimate my research power. Not only the food and drink, but there are a lot of interesting pennants for souvenirs.

Hou! That helps.

T-They just dont show it on their faces. Thats acting, probably.

Goodbye!

Well, they are like a storm, huh.

Chinatsu, its not like, they are the disaster itself.

Thats right. Just because you can speak and communicate with them, dont think of them as normal people! Think of them as monsters!

Eh? Ah, yes.

Chinatsu, you were thinking something like, Isnt the same thing can be said for Nell-shish, whos equal them?, right? Not saying it out loud is correct. I thought so too.

Kuhihi. After all, its quiet and lonely when the upper ranks are gone.

Fuhaha. Alezel-dono, isnt that too flattering?

As for me, Im really relieved that Mama is gone. Im tired, so Im going to sleep. Zex, dont send something strange again, okay? Ill destroy it myself next time.

Oh, how scary~. Lily-han is irritated~

Fuhahahaha! Shes probably on her peri

Stop! Zex-san, stop! Even if you dont have a human heart, shouting it out loud is the worst. And above all, youre wrong!

As expected of Goddess Chinatsu, she minds about public etiquette.

Then, Ill leave now. Im looking forward to your success. See

Okay, you too, stop.

Hund-kun tried to return to the continent of Jiba. However, Nell placed her hand on his shoulder. Because there is too much difference in their heights, Nell even climbed on his back. Compared to Hund-kun, who has an extraordinarily large body, Nell is only the height of a normal woman. Comparing the two, it can be said that the difference in physique is like that of an adult and a child. Even so, Hund-kuns blue skin seemed to have turned even bluer.

W-What do you want?

Before you go home, you should fight our disciples. I think youre the right person for the job, because I think Haruna, Chinatsu, and Touko could have a good one-on-one match now.

Hund-kun couldnt argue anymore with Nell, who showed a smile on her face. He felt something close to Maria in Nell, and he seems to be pondering about it. That judgment is very correct, but he sure is unlucky that he got entangled with Nell after Maria.

Dont worry. About the Executive Committee of Therese Regional Reconstruction Outdoor Party, Ill give them instructions about it.

Nell, thats probably not what hes worried about. I mean, youre too forceful. Thats the same as Marias method, but are you okay with it?

Ah, thats not good.

Saying so, Nell gallantly left Hund-kun. Her behavioral principle is relatively close to Maria, but I think its better not to say it. Yeah, for the sake of my life.

Demon King Hund, Nell seems to be unreasonable at a glance, but I dont think the policy proposed by her is wrong. If you do charity work with the knights of Adelheit, you can make a good impression on the countries of the Jiba continent. Moreover, it will be the atonement that your country needs at this point. Of course, the result wont show immediately and it will take a considerable amount of time. Still, having the backing of Adelheit will have a big impact, right?

In other words, this is the price for that?

Im glad youre so quick on the uptake. So, will you do it? If you cooperate, I promise you full backup (mainly from Therese and Weerel).

Hmm.

Well, we can secure a training partner for the girls, solve the labor shortage of the knights, and got a reverse force. In short, its our win if we can convince the other party.

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

That night, at a tavern in a certain town. Recently, a new dungeon has been discovered nearby, making the city a gathering place for many adventurers. This tavern, where you can hear a big noise from inside the store, was also riding the wave of prosperity due to the influence of the dungeon. Not only because of the dungeon, but also because the owner of this tavern was making the most of this big wave and was working very hard to increase the variety of drinks and dishes to keep up with the rivals. Even though they opened an incomprehensible souvenir shop on the side of the tavern, the number of regulars has only increased, probably due to their efforts. And today, there are new people, who are likely to become regulars, gathered at the bar.

Cheers~!

Yaay~!

The table is very lively. They drank, drank, drank, ate, drank they laughed, and ordered more immediately. Also, they never stopped talking.

Oi oi, it sure is lively over there~

Oh! Isnt that girl cute!?

You, thats not good. She sure is cute, but its the kind of cute where you shouldnt lay your hands on her. Age-wise, I mean.

Eh, but shes drinking, right?

Thats just soda. You see, theres Al Nova near here, so Im sure the owner got it from there.

Even the adventurers who like merrymaking were amazed at how much they drank and at the turmoil. They are an old gentleman, a handsome man, a beautiful young girl, and a middle-aged man, which is quite an uneven combination for a party. Since they are well-dressed, many guessed that they are probably high-leveled adventurers, or maybe royalty and nobles incognito.

However, no one in this place thinks that their true identity is the four upper-rank members of the Great Eight Demons, the world-famous incarnation of evil. The reason for this is that they are disguising themselves as humans and their power is suppressed. But above all, their current appearance is not that of the Great Demon King.

By the way, Rimudo. Have you decided what the trial will be?

Umu, I think I will have them climb a mountain.

Wow~, thats original~! Im sure everyone will be surprised! After all, even I was surprised!

Fuhaha, Im astonished!

Pfft! A-Are you imitating Zex?

Alright, I guess Ill go with mountain climbing then. I see, its original, huh.

Unfortunately, Haruna did something similar not long ago, so its not that original.
