"Lord Fellow! What the hell does this report mean...!
Meeting room.
Surrounding the oval table, to put it bluntly - great man.
Called my first name, I turn my grin pasted face against them as usual.
This gathering will, once and for all, be a briefing on the original dungeon to which we were commissioned to investigate.
"I thought it was as described. Original dungeon number twenty-four, the investigation is concluded without delay. Not only have we been able to collect valuable data, we have also won numerous treasures. Whatever is earned by the Spirit's trials, as per the prior covenant, is owned by the person in question. As for the others..."
"I don't care about that!
For publicly recorded magic equipment, its location is thoroughly tracked.
Except in cases of dungeon offense and defense or otherwise special, even those with ownership rights may not have the right to use it.
In modern times, it's basically an antique.
You may be able to have it if you have money or connections or luck, but you shouldn't use it.
If, for example, there is a criminal activity that ordinary people cannot do, it is possible to have a [position (job)] and race, so much so that the magic equipment owner can investigate it.
Ownership is granted to me and Lord Margrette's Chamber of Commerce after all the magic equipment I discovered this time has also been recorded.
Some are dangerous if abused, but I will try to make sure that me and her hang on to their respective prestige so that there is no such thing.
Nevertheless, it would take the form of handing over dangerous magic equipment to Lord Margrette, who is a human (normal) and builds trust among his ancestors.
Because I'm a demon.
Except for those that cannot be avoided, troubles are limited to avoidance.
They recognize my such moves as' bending over '.
It's because I know what's going on around it that magic equipment related to them treats it like 'that'.
"So what's the problem?
"It's decided! [Black Devil Instructor] It's a lemme!
"... what is he?
"Too extraordinary black magic! Horn performance comparable to [Demon King]! Incredible magic holdings from your age! He said it was a spiritual blessing in addition to there! That's not all, he's too close to many [brave] people!
That's right. That's right, my voice goes up.
Hidden at the average person level, but dungeon to say Demon King Castle. I pay my staff well, and there are those who can know that Lord Leme works as Lemegeton.
"He is the closest friend to Phoenix in the fourth [Brave Man of Fire], highly regarded by Aerial in the first place [Brave Man of Storm], close enough to work together dressed as Nicolas and other demons in the ninety-ninth [Brave Man of Silver Ridge], and Ellie and others in the ninety-fifth [Brave Man of the Universe] begins to lend a hand in defense every party! [Lake Brave] Reyce publicly proclaimed that he wanted him as a party member, and now he is the benefactor of the second-place [pitch-black brave] Ex...! I'm not gonna let you tell me you don't know what this is about!
A different person said it earlier.
"He made a significant contribution to the investigation and strategy of the original dungeon -"
You won't hear my statement until the end.
"Hustle! The question is how threatening it will be when he becomes the enemy of mankind!
Too much crap, is it about someone who knows him?
Perhaps those who possess power will not be able to defend what is called a country if they do not doubt it for a moment.
In fact, sadly, adventurer breakdowns and demonic breakdowns - mainly those who woke up to [positions (jobs)] in the combat system and failed to gain other aptitudes - can fall into the criminal category.
It's too late for them to make a hell of a case.
For example, if you give me the option of a Knights, will you become a knight who will do what it takes for the country, or will you let the viewers who didn't appreciate themselves solicit resentment?
Some agencies say they keep their eyes open every day to trends in adventurers and demons. The great man of that institution will also be sitting in this Chamber.
"With the support of many sub-men as Demon King's Army staff, he also has ties to the brilliant adventurers. What trouble would this guy be if he fell into evil? The same goes for this guy's own power, but it's important (oh and oh) in case a deeply involved person lends a hand to evil!
The Spirit who presides over the four major attributes is on the side of mankind.
A being that follows an old covenant and lends strength to people.
When a contractor falls into evil, the contract is broken.
but that's not the problem.
Once [the brave man], who receives immense support from people after accepting a significant downfall in his power, is on the side of one [Black Demon Instructor].
That too, in case, more than one.
The impact on society will be immeasurable.
It's their job to doubt it, too. That's good. Not at all problematic, but healthy.
It's just something that leaks as a rumor somewhere, no matter how secretive you go.
It's not uncommon to develop into something more troublesome if you actually have the people to move.
The tragedy that happened to a one-time expatriate is close to this.
[The pitch-black brave] Ex and [the knight king] Arthur received protection from spirits other than the four great spirits.
There has been noise since the debut, but more people have shown interest since they found out they were excellent.
Was the trigger a request for cooperation from some research institute?
There are still many mysteries in the Spirit. Except for the Four Spirits and their Spirits, they rarely appear in public.
Somewhere I wondered if I could help them with their future relationship with the Spirit.
And the rumor spread instantly - countless people sprung up who wanted to 'get the protection of the Spirit like the two of us' and wandered around them.
The two of them could only tell us what had happened to them, but few of those who had not done so threw heartless slander at them, spreading rumors without roots or leaves.
To the other members, each of those things happened.
For example, [The Wizard of Foresight] Merlin uses evil methods to obey multiple spirits, so he can manipulate various attributes at a high level, etc.
[Transcendental] Mordo is not a special ancestral return, etc., but a monster created in human experiments, etc.
[Absolute Guardian] Galaha's acting as a different shield is strange, he's cheating on his magic body (avatar) so that there's no damage, etc.
Sometimes information penetrates the world, even if it is virtually rootless, and the number of people danced to it becomes enormous.
Being special doesn't necessarily bring happiness to that person.
Not that my surroundings will bless that special.
It can happen that even what Lord Lemé just got as a result of his hard work in life is only dangerous from the standpoint of the irrelevant.
Now, how do we round it up? It's usually a show of arms.
Probably don't need that today.
I manipulate words and persuade people with the presentation of profits because they can only serve their purpose in that way.
There are beings in the world who can solve things without doing anything so dull.
For example -.
"I'll get in your way."
- My father something, yes.
As a matter of course, he came into the conference room.
This facility, how tight security was laid by the time you came to this room.
Such a thing, meaningless to him.
You don't even need to hurt the guards.
If he decides to go through there, I don't think anyone wants to interrupt it or anything anymore.
Who can work with disrespect for blocking the king's path?
Only fear can make the weak before the overwhelming strong.
The air in the meeting room changed.
Nobody, not a word.
I sharpen my consciousness to the fullest for even one breath, and do everything in my power not to damage the King's mood.
Pressure enough to drag out your instincts to forget your position and nothing.
The strongest [Demon King] Lucifer rules the field just by being there.
I was born a king.
"... this sounds like a place to have a crappy debate about that (,)"
"Oh, Father, that's an odd encounter. Does that mean Lord Leme?
Quite simply, I take the form of a supplement to the question.
My father, naturally, does not respond to my words.
Just not denying it became an explanation to those around us.
I could make you understand that this is about Lord Lemé.
"That is the disciple of Non."
For the first time since I heard that word, they seemed to realize that my father's right corner was missing.
"I'm just a man who wants to live like a brave man, foolishly. That's all, kid."
My father just took a step forward and a few roll off the chair in a gutter.
"Someone to bring you in just once, get in the way of that. All those involved will not even have time to repent."
His words would have been firmly engraved on the souls of everyone on this occasion.
Most people just tremble.
"And yet...! I can't do anything before the slightly suspicious, yes, I won't...!
...... great.
I guess the person who managed to get up has a strong conviction.
"I guess."
My father said that somewhere happily.
Yes, my father didn't come here to threaten the people who are here for nothing.
He releases the magic he usually suppresses to make his own power feel on his skin.
"In case it can't happen, but if that heart ever falls to the ground - Non ends it. That would be my job as a mentor."
This is a promise from the strongest in the world to mankind.
[Black Demon Instructor] Guarantee that Leme is never a dangerous person.
And when it is betrayed, the demon king himself shall take the responsibility of his disciples.
I've never been more comfortable.
A concurrent human word would not deserve such promised credibility.
But he is [Demon King] Lucifer.
Lies? Impossible.
Where the hell is he supposed to deceive the world?
You won't be able to find anything like that in the past, in the present, in the future.
Because there isn't.
Everyone in this room knows that.
For those who are in a position to participate in this meeting, they are the subject of what they once perceived as a danger and investigated.
It feels like the air in the conference room is lighter, as it was freed from gravity.
- Magic release enough to make me feel breathless, too. He seems to be crushing his heart for his disciples.
I can't imagine my father caring about someone that much for a long time.
With that in mind, I look around everyone and smile.
"Hey, have some disrespect our father took. If that's the case, should I even create a contract and let it sign...... oh my god"
Subsequent meetings went smoothly.
Needless to say, the response to Lord Leme became 'static for a moment'.
And after the meeting.
When I got in the carriage to pick him up, my father was already on board.
"Hey, I haven't seen you earlier"
I'm talking about an example.
"No greetings?
I sit across from my father, smiling bitterly.
The example story is when my father texted me to resolve the original dungeon outbreak.
He also spoke subtly about the current situation of Lord Leme. I guess that's why my father showed up like this.
So, actually, we talked about another project.
This is a project that I told Lord Aerial and also told Lord Altreet [the Invincible Brave].
I'll give you a ride to your plan.
"- Huh!!!
- I'm here...... Shh!!!
I accidentally float my hips.
I couldn't stop my heart from bugging me.
My body trembles with joy and excitement.
For this reason, there have been previous efforts for this future.
We haven't built the ideal world in time, but I didn't expect the purpose to come true first.
My father got bored with this crappy world and disappeared from the tabular stage.
I haven't forgotten the words my father leaked when we reunited.
What can I do? It's the answer when I ask if the most powerful demon king is coming back.
- '... if an enemy worthy of using a horn appears or'.
"Did you feel so valuable to Lord Leme?
My father did not answer and looked at me.
"I'm going to say some names. Gather them all and give them their names."
What he uttered was the name of a thousand demons once gathered under [Demon King] Lucifer.
By way of limitation, it meant - the strongest Demon King's Army, its resurrection.
◇
When I woke up in the morning, I felt my gaze.
Dorm, own room, bedroom.
Beautiful vampire Mira looks happily at my face in a sleeping position.
"Good morning, Mr. Lemme. She had a pretty sleeping face."
"... good morning. How long have you been watching this?
"Ugh, all the time"
After the night you held her hand from me, something like this came from Mira... something happy and aura drifted away, I think.
She has smiled at me before, for example, when I met her eyes, but if I feel like I can smile before, I feel like I can't help but get laid these days.
"Breakfast, you'll make it soon"
"Ugh, yeah."
Mr. Mira leaves the room.
'That geek is pretty bad.' Cause in the morning... '
You don't have to tell me.
When I wake up, a black chick rides over my head.
Dark.
I still don't know what the spirits are. I asked him a few times, but he made fun of me every time.
I don't seem to be hosting any dreams or illusions.
Well, in person? Book Spirit? If you don't want to say it, let it go.
"If you were more interested in this one, I might tell you ~"
"What's for breakfast?"
"Isn't it terrible that you care more about your morning dedication than about who your partner is?
Head to the washroom, wash your face, then go to the living room.
When I turned on the video board (TV) about the table, the party appeared.
"Again, Bubba? You like humans. '
Waiting for the disappearance of the original dungeon, the investigation team decided to leave the village behind.
The feast in the village was sometimes with freedom of participation, and food was also provided by the investigative team. The [cook] people cooperated, and a diverse array of meals lined up.
It was such a good time.
By the way, the day before yesterday, my parents weren't surprised to tell me who they were.
... No, well, what because I had originally noticed.
When I asked him when he noticed, he had an answer with the moment he came out.
You'd be very concerned, folks, you didn't ask me anything more than I told you.
For example, what did you do with the corner?
- 'If you're not unhappy, that's fine'.
Or maybe... my master thought a little that he had come to explain.
I only thought about my thoughts at the time, but it's pretty important to think about it carefully and let the other kids inherit the horns.
Will that be the only thing the master will transfer to execution, even when he hears the child's readiness?
I'm curious, but that's not what parents and masters are saying, so I guess it's not something I should ask.
"... Mr. Lemme. Mr. Ex's face looks swollen."
"Oh, he was beaten up by Mr. Mordo before he recorded it. It was in an e-mail from Mr. Merlin."
This is not a live broadcast. Merlin wrote in an e-mail about the recording.
Or the email only said about the matter.
Just now, a reporter is touching on that.
Mr. Ex, are you hurt?
It's an interview.
He may also ask about the original dungeon and why the two of them are not attending because it's every party.
Quite a bit on the way home and back to the city.
Me and Mira took it several times.
'Oh, no, never mind. I just unwrapped the pan in the party.'
I heard that Mr. Mordo was angry at Mr. Ex for his weakness and for not telling me the truth.
Mr. Ex is strong, so we don't have to be weak, and we don't have to hide the truth because we're one of them.
Besides, that led me to drop off Reid's participation and temporarily let the party members act differently, so I guess I had something to think of as Mr. Mordo as well.
The mold wrapped his arms in a grumpy manner, and the [guardian], Mr. Gallagha, is smiling as troubled.
Mr. Arthur held his forehead and Mr. Merlin was grinning with his belly.
"Kuh, heh, it's a masterpiece...! I'm not bored with you guys."
The reporter starts the interview while showing confusion.
I was having breakfast with Mira and watching it.
"In the Spirit's Trial, Mr. Ex said he struggled a long time,"
"Yeah, I got a brilliant poke at my weak heart"
"Damn, I'm pitiful. Uh, yeah, lemme! You said you helped the asshole leader? Thank you."
I'm suddenly surprised my name comes up.
"Right, Leme took care of me"
Mr. Arthur nods too.
Mr. Ex didn't even hide that he had fallen off once. And that I used my right to wish to enter his dreams.
That brought more attention to me than ever. [M]
"Oh, you're going to get more attention again, Mr. Lemme"
Mira says happily.
'Right, he noticed. The longer you spend on something, the more people fear it will be wasted. Neither did I. I was scared and scared, and I didn't suffer, and I drowned in the world of dreams. Even in that dream, I was an adventurer.'
Mr. Ex laughs small, then continues.
He said, "I don't want to spend time in the kingdom of heaven just being happy. Whatever freedom you are given, no matter how many times you have your time rewinded, make the same choice, gather the same people and go for the same top. There, you can't help but jump in, even if you know there's a hell of a ordeal waiting to come to an end '
'You mean you beat the fear and broke through the trials, right?
'No, what about that? Perhaps fear is not the opponent of battle. Never let it go. I don't think we're going to beat it, we're going to have to hold it and move on. So I'm going to go ahead, scared. Together with the best of us, we'll be first in the future.'
To prove that not only my people, but myself, deserve to be first.
I'm sure that all those who strive with all their strength will taste similar suffering.
Even if you devote a lot of time and work hard to achieve your goals, there are many people who will not be rewarded.
Hell to give up, hell not to give up.
The pain of leaving, the pain of staying, is only known to those who have become serious.
