And so ── Hearing the commotion that the demon generals were making, Kengo decides to also pay some attention to those other than the brave.
Whether it is really “cute-beauty-chan” is debatable. Since Demon General Levi, He always had this unusual tendency to over-praise others.
One of them was a female warrior.
She was perhaps in her late twenties. With a petite structure, but somehow seemed more agile as if to compensate for that. She may be proud of her skills. Her face reminisces about those who witnessed a war, and the arms peeking out from those short sleeves were full of wounds from the past.
The sword that was rolled aside also seemed to have some extraordinary spiritual power contained in it.
Another was as [if a] Goddess in human form.
Young. She might still be well below twenty years old. She seemed to be a good-natured person who was probably conscious and the mood-maker of the party. Speaking frequently with everyone, creating a harmonious atmosphere on their way of travel.
In fact, she must have a beautiful personality. I’ve heard that, to be able to use powerful white magic, users should have a high adherence to either “virtue” or “ambition” or (likely) even both.
And the last one is the guy who noticed Mamoyo’s detection magic even though being a hero in the first place. Her age being unknown, and having a mysterious demeanor to her, is very typical of a human wizard. Even her behavior to step back from the dominant circle with everyone, and observing her friends through a distant look as well.
Even among the party members, she seemed to be the one who is the most out of place.
“── and, where are they at this present moment?”
At the request given by Asumi, Kengo comes back to reality.
“They’re over here.”
Mamoyo answered and manipulated the three-dimensional image made by magic.
The viewpoint to peep at the brave people begins to move farther back, away towards the sky at once.
The projected images of the brave and his accompanies become smaller and smaller, quickly becoming as small as pea grains, and later, instead change into three-dimensional images that resemble diorama model of the surrounding area.
“Elio pass!”
“It’s just a stone’s throw from the basin. They’re much faster than we expected.”
“These guys, they must be moving through a magical carriage”
“Oh, so that’s how it was. Quite clever.”
“…… My stomach hurts.”
Kengo was not quite familiar with geography, but becomes excited looking at the reaction of his vassals.
“When are they expected to arrive here, Mamoyo?”
“I would predict it somewhere around from tomorrow noon to evening, my Majesty”
“Seriously, they’re almost there!?”
I hold my head involuntarily and bend away.
(Don’t get anxious, don’t get anxious. Calm down, calm down. The demon lord’s persona, the demon lord’s persona……)
(Is everyone dumbfounded? Did they get tired of me?? Did they find out that I am a good for nothing???)
I endured the desire to cover and divert my eyes, and fearfully looked at the state of the demon generals near me.
Everyone’s eyes were wide open staring. They were at a trouble as to how to react. Kengo wanted to bite his lips thinking “Obviously right~!”.
But then at that very moment, Sato seemed to have understood something. And then, “Un-Under-Understood, My-My Majes-Majesty.”
He suddenly started to speak in a strange tone, confusing everyone even further.
And then, as if everyone had perhaps come to notice something after that. after which, “W-we wi-will ma-make su-sure t-to d-do it imme-immedia-immediately.” “Wi-with th-this co-code-d lan-langu-language inst-instilled i-in o-ou-r br-brain-s”
“No-no-no, co-co-come on-n-n, o-o-on m-e-e-e.”
As the influencers buzzed about an interesting topic, the demonkins began to imitate it all the more proudly.
(Just how much do you love your demon lord!?)
Well, it surely is better than any coup d’etat breaking about, but this, in itself is becoming something, the love of my vassals is too heavy and innocent that it is tough to carry.
“Uhm! Let’s open up the meeting now.”
Kengo ordered, maintaining his dignity this time. And thus, the demon generals also stopped mimicking (although, with a slightly disappointed look on their faces).
“Your Majesty, I think it would be foolish to continue standing here and just talking.”
“Hmm. Mamoyo has a point. Can you do the needful then? Belhara.
“I obey these orders respectfully to my very life, my lord.”
Belhara bends his waist forth showing respect. When he looked up again, he brought forth a large piece of cloth through skilful use of summoning magic, the cloth made up of velvet-like material, just as if showing a magic trick.
He then opens it up in front of Kengo and the other demonkins, opening it up and spreading.
When I thought that the velvety cloth was about to cover our head, the surrounding scenery somehow suddenly, including our field of vision, changed completely.
To be precise, everyone who was on the spot, instantly teleported to the “Room of Council” in the Demon King Castle were now sitting on their respective chairs.
Even though, the fact that the magic of teleportation in considered a high-tier magic in the first place, Belhara was able to do this to other, in fact to multiple personnel involving separate to every individual, and to top it off, he separated each individual in that teleportation doing precise coordinate control and attitude control after the transition, to make it to the result.
Moreover, without conducting any large-scale magic, such as spell chanting and magic team creation and other to say.
Well, in terms of moving from one place to another easily with the help of magic, there might be no one who comes even close to challenge the position of the demon general of “laziness” here or anywhere.
“Then── without further ado, we will now begin the “Red Hero” countermeasure meeting, once again.”
