Richt-kun. I'm sorry you had to come all this way.
"No, no.
Richt and Arius were drinking at the table until the end.
Dorothy and Rose had already finished eating and were on their way to the baths, while Camilla had gone to bed for her beauty treatment.
All that was left were these two, who had been joking around and having a good time.
With the help of alcohol, they had become friends and were able to talk quite casually.
I've been amazed by your story, Licht. I can't believe you were able to revive the Demon Lords all at once.
We spent two hours talking together.
In this time, Arius's interest has gone straight to Richt.
Even a vampire with an immortal body can't revive someone.
In terms of protecting Rose, he might be more dependable than the Demon King.
"...... Speaking of which. I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
What came out of Richt's mouth was something that had been bothering him for a long time, and something he had failed to ask Aria about.
The demon king and the vampire - it is no exaggeration to say that they are usually rivals.
In the first place, vampires themselves tend not to get along with other races, so Rose is in a very strange position.
I'll never forget my encounter with you, Demon Lord. She is also the one who saved our lives.
Arius answered Richt's question with a nostalgic look.
Once, we were surrounded by over a hundred vampire hunters. I had to fight them while protecting my child, Rose, but I didn't last long.
The lich gulped.
Imagining being surrounded by a hundred vampire hunters, he couldn't find the right words to say.
When Richt was captured in the human world, there were ten soldiers.
The conditions of dealing with ten times that number of enemies while protecting his child, Rose, were too severe.
If Richt had been in that position, there would not even be a fight.
We were trying to keep Rose alive, but the vampire hunters saw through that too. The vampire hunters saw right through us. They were probably trying to be more efficient by deliberately targeting Rose.
"......, then.
Yes. There is no way you can protect yourself.
But," Arius added.
"Then the Demon Lord appeared. At first, I thought there were more enemies, but the Demon Lord was only attacking vampire hunters.
...... I think I know what Aria is talking about.
And then it was instantaneous. I couldn't see what the Demon Lord had done at all, but the next thing I knew, there was a pile of dead bodies in front of me.
Aria and Rose's first contact.
It was indeed a shocking experience that she will never forget.
