Chapter 117: Volume 2 - CH 9.8

NT: Sorry for the delay, I delayed a bit making a pack of the Spanish version of this novel. I will return to the university this Monday and I wanted to finish Volume 2 before that. I ended up feeling somehow shocked when I finished… I mean… when I noticed, I realized that it took me 2 years to complete the Volume 2… of course, it’s not the only novel I’m translating, and and I’m not good enough to be able to finish each chapter quickly, but even so… 2 years… it was like, “Woa ~ …” …

NT2: Although I will return to the university, the next chapters will continue to be published weekly (these will probably be published during weekends). However, that is only up to my version in Spanish, after that it probably traduces a chapter of this every two weeks (if I have not decided to translate double chapters …). Ok, that was all. Now… READ

「No, wait, What will happen if we die? What if we fail to land properly and end up falling back to the ground?」

「Calm down. It went well the last time.」

「What are you talking about, Kagami-san… huh? Wait? What-, huh?… This again… Wait, please- aaaaaaaaah …… ..!? 」

Kagami quickly grabbed Tina’s backpack the moment he saw the Soldiers approaching and jumped to the center of the spiral staircase, and immediately afterwards threw Tina up.

Tina, who was thrown at an incredible speed to the top of the spiral staircase, desperately extended her hands to the cornice of the spiral staircase, to which she clung with all her strength. Immediately after, she began to move her legs desperately to propel herself to the other side of the spiral staircase while trying to catch her breath.

「What-What do you think you do!? Do you want to kill me!? 」

Tina shouted, with tears in her eyes, from the top of the spiral staircase.

「Oooh, so you managed to hold on to the cornice. Well, the next one is…」

「Eh? No-No, I, wait 」

Kagami stared at Alice as he prepared to throw her. However, at that moment, Takako, thinking that it would be very cruel to make Alice go through something like that, took her in her arms and said, 「Alice-chan, hold tight」, as she began to run vertically up the spiral staircase to the place where Tina was.

After that, Kagami and the others quickly started running the same way she did before the Soldiers reached them.

「Wait! Why only you just take Alice-chan !? You could have taken me too! 」

「Tina-chan, it would have been difficult to carry you with that backpack you’re carrying… Well, things went well so it should be fine」

「Of course not! I was about to die!」

Tina, who had somehow avoided a crisis, began to grumble as she tried to catch her breath.

「Seriously… you all are really imprudent. But well, I suppose it was worth it 」

The Demon King murmured in amazement at the same time that he, along with everyone else, looked towards the same place with serious expressions on their faces. In front of them was the door that would lead them directly to the King.

They quickly opened the door, which led to a long corridor leading to the Throne Room.

「… Leave this to us and keep going」

Takako said as she closed the door they had just passed.

「I will also stay. I trust that she will be able to fight alone, but … her opponents are the Soldiers of the Royal Castle 」

Said David, who, like Takako, held the door so that no one else could open it from the other side.

「The Soldiers of the Castle will end up entering without stopping if someone does not stay here taking care of the door. You want to talk properly with the King, isn’t it? … That’s why we’ll stay here. Understood?」

「… Okay. Just make sure you stay safe 」

Kagami said as he started walking down the corridor. However, at that moment, David raised his voice and said, 「Kagami-sama, wait a moment please」, stopping his advance.

「… Please, be very careful if Militaria-sama arrives」

「Who is that?」

「He is one of the most powerful Nobles of the Kingdom of Hexaldoria … and the person who helped Palna-sama to capture Krull-sama and Rex-sama」

Kagami looked confused after hearing him say that.

「What do you mean when you ask me to be careful if that guy comes along?」

「Militaria-sama… has a certain skill. I don’t know the details, but .. It seems that when he is facing his opponentes, all the statistics of this, except for Magic, drastically decrease. I don’t know how this will affect Kagami-sama, but … 」

Kagami frowned for a moment after hearing that explanation, however, he soon returned to his usual self at the same time he said, 「I’ll be fine」, with a smile on his face.

「It’s true that I can not use Magic, so things could get a little complicated. But I have companions that I can trust. Also, the Demon King is with us. I should be able to talk to the King without having to worry about the others」

Kagami said as he looked meaningfully at his companions. Seeing that, everyone nodded, implying that they would not let anyone get in the way.

「I suppose my concerns were unjustified. Even so, please… please, save Krull-sama and Rex-sama」

Kagami finally started walking back down the corridor after receiving David’s encouragement. Kagami managed to hear Takako, 「Our first collaboration…」, with a strange tone of delicacy and joy in her voice, however, Kagami decided to ignore that as he continued his way to the Throne Room.

Then, when it came to the end, Kagami laid his hands on the door, which was finely decorated, making it look completely different to all the doors that Kagami had seen now, and went into the Throne Room where the King was.

「The Throne Room is… huge」

「There are no walls around it either, so you could fall to your death if you stumble by accident. Surely it becomes a cold place during the winter 」

Kagami and Tina muttered as they quickly evaluated the Throne Room.

The Throne Room was as wide as the long corridor that the group had to cross before. However, its interior was lavishly decorated with a large carpet of scarlet red at its center, and in the background was a large throne specially created for the use of the King.

There were no walls in the Throne Room, only a few pillars that support the roof, through which one could see the entire Royal Capital.

And sitting on the throne was the King, the man with whom the group planned to meet, who observed them in an abnormally calm state.

The King had a characteristic quiet look, which gave a sense of security to whoever saw him, but at the same time, it seemed to radiate a dignity that would make anyone believe that he was the very incarnation of the word. The King had also grown a thick beard, and wore a male military uniform adapted for him while he let his hair fall backwards.

Next to the King was Palna, who seemed not to have changed at all since the last time Kagami had seen her, looking as glamorous as the first time, and Rex, who was silent while his gaze wandered looking into the void.

「You took your time to get here, don’t you think? You have so much power, and yet… shouldn’t you have been able to get here before? It can’t be … Don’t tell me you were late because you intended to make your way here without killing anyone? You, traitor of humanity who dared to unite ties with the Demons…!」

「It looks like you were waiting for me」

「That is partially correct. It seem that… the King has taken an interest in you. Although it seems that he ended up losing interest while waiting for you to arrive」

Kagami, who had thought that the King intended to talk to him after noticing that he didn’t seem intent on fighting, moved to a place from which it would be easier for him to talk while watching him.

「Oh? Alice-chan, will you no longer hide your Demon horns?」

「I no longer think of living hidden anymore. That’s why I came here」

When Alice said that with an energetic look on her face, Palna clicked her tongue while showing an annoyed look.

「It’s the first time a Human comes to this place… accompanied by a Demon」

The King said coldly. It was as if he really did not care how his words were interpreted as he looked down at the group.

「… What happened to the Soldiers of my Castle? Don’t tell me… you killed them all?」

「I didn’t kill anyone. I just knock them out or escape from them. My companions are preventing the Soldiers who were still chasing us from reaching us 」

After Kagami said that, the King murmured, 「Impressive」 with a surprised look.

「Rex? Hey, Rex! 」

Kagami had tried to get the attention of Rex, who was standing next to the Throne, however, he did not react at all. Kagami said that thinking it was something strange.

「It’s like David said… Was him brainwashed? If they brainwashed him, then…」

「Don’t worry … It’s not a brainwash」

The King said as soon as Menou began to speculate about what was happening.

「I have only used a slight hypnosis to keep him calm and avoid him getting out of control. My Brainwashing Skill can only be used on one person at a time… Although I plan to use it on him after I finish applying it completely on my current target. The Hero Role is really rare, it would be a shame to be wasted taking care of something other than the Demon King Subjugation]

Kagami, Alice and Tina began to feel deeply uncomfortable at the same time that they realized the absence of a certain person in this place.

「Where… is Krull?」
