When they surveyed their chaotic surroundings, they saw that the confused Adventurers, who were crying and shouting at the same time, were slowly beginning to fight the Bloody Buffers.
It had certainly been surprising for monsters to suddenly fall from the sky, but everyone seemed to be dealing with it without any particular problems. It didn’t look like it would take them very long to completely suppress this level of damage.
“Kukuku…fuhahaha! Not bad, humans! Even though you are at peace now…today is just a test! It’s a declaration of war…the Demon King Army will control the humans!”
Immediately after, a voice resounded inside them, as if it were speaking directly into their minds.
Alice and Takako immediately looked towards the birds that were flocking in the sky. The birds all seemed to be looking down, and they could see a Demon with two horns standing at the front.
“Ara…Could he be your father?”
“No…Father isn’t that young, and he doesn’t have silver hair. But, why is he using the Demon King’s name in such a place?”
When Takako checked, with a slightly troubled look, Alice hastily denied it.
However, Alice couldn’t hide her look of confusion. It was possible that they were just using the Demon King’s name, but they had unquestionably declared war against the humans.
“Fear us, humans…! Demon King-sama has finally begun to act in order to destroy Humanity. In both his name and in reality, you guys will be controlled…for all of eternity!”
***Kagami’s POV***
“So…hungry. There’s so much free time. Hurry up and come back.”
After Takako and Alice left, Kagami laid down on top of the bed, since he had nothing to do. Whether or not it was good to sleep early after eating, he deeply regretted not going to the bath together with them. However, since Balman was always crowded, regardless of the time of day, it seemed too troublesome to walk out right now, even if it was the middle of the night. It would be annoying if he passed by Takako and Alice, so Kagami was waiting on standby.
“As always, it seems like they are having fun. As expected of Balman, cows are even falling from the sky.”
Kagami laughed lightly as he looked outside of the window. Cows were rapidly coming down from the sky to wave at him. He couldn’t help making a retort when such an event was happening.
“If you are showing me this, then today’s dinner will be black beef…No, it will be something less expensive, since Alice is here…But she most likely hasn’t tried it before, so black beef it is…”
Kagami immediately understood that the the Monsters that were falling were Bloody Buffers. He thought it was amusing because such low Level Monsters were falling into a town where Adventurers gathered.
He initially thought that Takako had thrown them around as they fell, since her class was Monk, but he immediately changed his mind.
“Gururu……ruooooo!”
“Eh? This is extremely annoying.”
A Bloody Buffer broke through the ceiling and fell into the room, landing right next to Kagami’s bed.
“Eh-…I wonder what the repair cost will be.”
Kagami looked up at the sky, more concerned about the condition of the broken ceiling than the Bloody Buffer that had fallen in front of him, and noticed the black Monster birds which had dropped the Bloody Buffers. As they flew about and filled the sky, Kagami frowned.
“It doesn’t look like Takako-chan threw them…Did those Monsters do this?”
Black monster birds were fluttering around in the sky. From what Kagami knew, they only appeared in groups. They were only Level 138 Monsters that flew around the Demon King’s castle, the Hell Crows.
Why were they flying about in a flock at such a place? They were even cooperating with fellow Monsters who originally inhabited different areas. Although there were various other thoughts that Kagami initially had,
“It’s a flying piggybank!”
Is what he quickly thought of them as.
Since Hell Crows were able to fly around in the sky, they rarely came down to the ground. He had to come up with a strategy to defeat them. They were monsters that Kagami did not encounter often.
However, Hell Crows liked to eat shiny gems as food, and since they were stored inside their body, you could earn a large amount of gold if you defeated them. They were Rare Monsters whose dropped Items were gems.
“I-I hate it! One, two, three, four, five, six…every single one of them is plump!”
Kagami’s thoughts immediately switched to figuring out how to defeat the Hell Crows, who were flying in the sky. He didn’t care about the ceiling’s repair cost anymore because it would be fine if he paid with the gold from defeating the Hell Crows.
He actually started to feel grateful for the Hell Crows and Bloody Buffers that had come to attack in flocks.
“Kukuku…fuhahaha! Not bad, humans! Even though you are at peace now…today is just a test! It’s a declaration of war…the Demon King Army will control the humans!”
A voice resounded inside Kagami’s mind.
“Fear us, humans…! Demon King-sama has finally begun to act in order to destroy Humanity. In both his name and in reality, you guys will be controlled…for all of eternity!”
“What the hell is that guy saying.”
Kagami said hatefully in response to the voice he suddenly heard. He knew the existence that was called the Demon King. Incidentally, he also knew his daughter. It was precisely because of this that he knew that the owner of this voice…was probably just a Demon. He understood that the Demon was selfishly twisting the intentions of another, which angered him a little.
“Gururururuoooooo! Guruooooooo!”
When the Bloody Buffers let out a war cry, as if they were announcing their existence, Kagami looked at them.
“Just about right.”
“Guruo? Guru…!?”
Kagami grabbed one of the horns extending from the Bloody Buffer with one hand, lightly lifted it up while supporting its giant body, and flung it into the sky with full force.
Larger than a cannonball, the Bloody Buffer flew in a straight line towards the sky and collided with the flock of Hell Crows before changing into gold.
The Hell Crow that received a direct blow from the Bloody Buffer changed into a large amount of gold and gems, which scattered into the air.
“Shit! There’s a possibility of other guys picking that up!”
After saying that, since there weren’t any fleeing children in the vicinity, Kagami jumped out of the broken ceiling. After he found the Bloody Buffer he flung into the sky, he began to search for Takako.
“……Eh?”
The Demon who was standing on top of the Hell Crow in the sky could not understand what had happened to the Hell Crow that was killed and wore a puzzled expression, with snot running down his nose.
