The Demon King Frolicking in the Shadows

Translated by Mlzkzr

“Hey, hey, Hermes-chan, is the Demon king amazing?”

At the usual brothel, inside Orthia’s room.

As I was relaxing with me on her lap as usual, she suddenly asked me such a question.

“What’s the matter, asking me that out of the blue?”

“You know, recently there’s been rumors about Hermes-chan and the Demon king and all sorts of great things.”

“Ugh……”

It’s such a gruesome question that it almost makes me want to hold my head in my hands, it was almost to the point of ruining my relaxation.

I sighed heavily.

“Hey, hey, is that Demon king really that amazing?”

“That is ―― hmm?”

“What’s wrong?”

“Just now, did you hear that she’s really amazing?”

“Yup”

“How amazing was she, can I hear that?”

It’s just a slight sense of incongruity, but it felt like I was caught in Orthia’s word.

If this were any other person, I might have gone through it.

However, Orthia is a prostitute, and she’s at work now.

Even the slightest difference in nuances in men and women’s conversations can lead to large differences due to the level of excitement.

And Orthia is especially good at that sort of thing.

That’s why I, was caught by the difference in that trivial nuance.

“Yeah, no matter how much you say. I don’t even know what a demon king is in the first place. What’s a Demon King?”

“You don’t know?”

“I don’t know. I asked a lot of people, but all they could tell me was that she was the king of Comotoria.”

“Everyone doesn’t know about the Demon King?”

“That’s what I’m saying.”

……Ah, I see.

A long time has passed, but I’ve just noticed that.

Kaori is a demon king, and I know firsthand that her power is immense, since I’ve fought her.

And she is the king of Comotoria, the upper echelons of each country know various things about her.

However, Kaori follows her mother’s advice and does not fight anyone other than people who are evenly matched with her.

That means it has already been going on for hundreds of years, so Kaori has not wielded her power in public for hundreds of years if not more.

At the level of the common people, it’s not surprising that they don’t know much about Kaori or the “truth” about the Demon king in the first place.

I thought about it for a moment, and then, as a test, I replied to Ortia, “That’s not a lie”.

“Well, she’s a king, though she looks like a child of ten or so.”

“Heh, then she’s no big deal. But did Hermes-chan have a hard time fighting her?”

“……”

I didn’t answer.

I didn’t actively lie.

Orthia misunderstood me so well that I decided to see how the story would turn out.

“Hermes-chan is surprisingly not a big deal.”

Saying that, Orthia stroked my head on her knees and rubbed my shoulders and waist as she said this.

This is …… unexpected.

But it’s a good thing.

I was overthinking it in the first place.

I thought that I was going to get into trouble because of the rumors about me going toe-to-toe with Kaori on more than evenly, but that’s because I know Kaori’s power.

Kaori cannot fight another human being.

Even if there is a rebellion in the country she’s in, she will get herself beaten unilaterally (although it doesn’t work).

With a few exceptions, the public doesn’t know that Kaori is strong in the first place. ……?

If that’s the case, then maybe I don’t need to worry so much about what happened the past few days.

“Thank you, Orthia.”

“Hoeh? What happened suddenly?”

“No, it’s nothing, thank you anyways.”

“Hmm, yeah. You’re welcome.”

Orthia didn’t think too much about it and accepted it with a smile.

Then I don’t have to worry about it, at least it’s significantly reduced.

From now on, I’ve learned that it’s okay to get serious with Kaori as long as no one is watching.

When I thought of that, my mind became very clear after a long time.

“H~mm”

“What’s wrong?”

“Hermes-chan, you look great.”

“What’s the matter, saying that out of the blue?”

“Did anything good happen to you just now?”

“……What do you mean?”

“Because, you suddenly looked good. Hermes-chan, you currently have the most handsome face I’ve seen since you started coming to our house.”

“Is that so?”

I touched my face all over while I was laying on her lap.

“I do feel lighter, but is it enough to change the way I look?”

“Yes. Now all of my children are mellow, so “since my pay is good, please love me!”. I think there are ten children who said that”

“That’s scary.”

You’re the one who said that prostitutes don’t need money.

“What about me Orthia?”

“Me? I’m …… going to ask you for a lifetime of favors now―― it hurts, it hurts!”

I reach out and grind Orthia’s head with my fists.

Another lifetime request, I thought, but now I feel like I’d be willing to listen to anything she says.

While I was flirting with Orthia in this manner, the noise outside the room suddenly became loud.

“What happened?”

“I’ll ask them a little”

Orthia got up and walked out of the room, grabbed a young girl and asked her about the situation.

Immediately after, she returned in a hurry.

“Hermes-chan! Is the Demon king amazing!?”

It was exactly the same question as before, but this time, she was extremely flustered.

“What’s wrong?”

“You know that mountain east of this town?”

“Ah, you mean the small mountain about 300 meters high. What about it?”

“I heard that a girl claiming herself to be the Demon King erased it.”

“Oh……”

I was relieved for a moment, but then Kaori blew the cause of that relief out of the water.

With Pindos at the center, the rumor that I was strong spread at an even faster rate.
