My friend is visiting the Magical Research Center today.
　He may have a bit of spare time on his hands, and I'd like him to drop by later if possible.
　I've noticed that my friend has added two Demon Lords to his ranks, who are his enemies in this world, and they are becoming equals in terms of position.
　If at all possible, I would like to maintain our current friendly relationship.

That's right, that's right!
Take a deep breath. I can't hear what you're saying.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry.

　In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at .......
　I can't complain about it, I'm the one who instilled this aggression in him.
　Maybe I should ask my friend to give me some advice to cure it in earnest.
　By the way, I remembered that I had ...... in my drawer.
　My friend knows very well that my conversations with Mixu are not going well.
　So he gave me an item that he had created as part of his magical research.
　To be honest, I didn't know what to think of it, but since my friend had prepared it for me, I decided to keep it with me.
　It was a mask to be worn over the face, covering the entire area from forehead to chin.
　It was a simple idea that if I could not see my face, it would ease my tension.
　However, this is not just a mask, it can change the tone of your voice when you speak with magic power in it.
　This is not just a mask.

"Well, I guess we'll see. ......

　I put on the mask, the size is perfect.
　The size of the mask is perfect, in fact, it fits so well that I feel it might have been custom-made.
　I'm not sure if I'm mistaken, but my friend liked to do some drawing.
　The air permeability is also quite good, and he pays a lot of attention to details.
　Through the mask, my vision is a bit limited, but I can see Mikus clearly.
　Mixu is taken aback by the sudden appearance of my strange mask.

"Well, Mix, how about this?

　My voice is completely different, a little higher pitched than usual.
　He almost laughs, but holds it back.

"No, ...... that ......, I don't know what to say.
"Oh!　You're speaking normally!
"What, ...... is that real?

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
　At any rate, for the first time in over a decade, I was able to have a normal conversation with my sister.
　I have to thank you for this.

I didn't expect it to be so easy.
Obviously, your appearance and voice are far removed from your brother's. ......
"Indeed. At least I don't want to go out in public with this mask on. I don't mind taking some time, but you'll have to deal with your shyness as well.
"Yes, sir. I'm so sorry!

　I can't get rid of my inner nervousness, but it's nice to know that it won't interfere with normal conversation.

"Brother, that mask was made by your friend, wasn't it?
"Yes, my friend prepared it as a test to help me have a better conversation with you.
"Hahaha ......, that's great, your friend.

　It's just one of the ideas that came out of my friend's mouth.
　But I wouldn't have even tried this method.
　It's an idea that I would have dismissed in my mind as a cliché.
　But in reality, such a simple thing would have been fine.
　I feel like letting out a sigh at my stubbornness for not trying such a simple thing until now.

Let's just stay here and listen to the report.
"Yes, yes!　It seems that Juglar has left some of the Holy Knights behind and the rest are retreating to Mejlis. It seems that His Holiness Eupharo and the others will stay for a while longer.

　The reason for their stay is simple, in a little while my friend will be able to prepare a place to exchange information with the Colorless Demon King.
　I'm not sure what to do.
　If you just want to report, there is magic communication.
　Mejis also wanted to avoid the act of stationing an excessive force in another country, and may have sorted out the unnecessary force.
　It seems that they're keeping their forces, but there's nothing they can do with them at this stage.

The Demon Lords have been contacted by Ecdysium. We're planning to build a villa at the site of the bandit stronghold as we discussed before.
As for the Kuro Wolves, I've told them that the demons have appeared and been dealt with, and that the danger is over. I've informed the knights who are available to escort them for the time being, just in case.
That's probably a good idea.

　When the messenger and the search party were stranded in the mountain cave, some information was passed on to the Kuro Wolves who came into contact with them.
　Considering the scale of our movements, some kind of comfort is probably necessary.
　However, it's hard to say that the Demon Lord's actions were responsible.
　They are very religious, and if the Demon Lord appears, they may retreat again.

The only thing left to do is to ...... report it to Quama soon.
That's right. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before the King of Quama is informed via the Yugra religion.

　The purple demon king was originally in Quama.
　I'm not sure what to do.
　Even though Quama is not responsible, it is included as a country involved.
　If this is a fact that will eventually be revealed, it would be better to tell them ahead of time so that they will feel better about it.
　I don't know how fast the Yugoslavs will move, but it is a matter to be dealt with as soon as possible.

If you're going to tell Quama, should you also consider contacting the other powers? ...... No, this should be left to the Mejis.
But then again, doesn't that mean that the Mejis won't be laying the groundwork behind the scenes?
I'm not sure what you mean by that. As for gathering information on other countries, I'm working with our dark side. The best we can do is to deal with what information we can get.



　A country that accepts a third camp of friends should not interfere too much with other countries, or it will cause unnecessary irritation.
　I'm sure Pope Eupharo will handle it well.

"That's all I have to report for now.
"Well, thank you for your time.

　...... I have a desire to talk to my sister a little more now that I can talk to her.
　As for the past, it is not something to be talked about with this mask on.
　It's a matter of facing it with a straight face, and there's only one common topic of conversation: .......

"Let me ask you a simple question, Mix, what do you think of your friend?
Is he your friend?　Well, ...... I like him a lot.
I guess we're like brother and sister in that respect.
I can't say that I'm as close to you as you are to your friend, but I try to help him in any way I can.
Even if it's not for me?
Yes, he is a man who changes depending on who is in front of him, but on the other hand, he is also a man who understands and responds to our wishes.

　To those who have good intentions, equal good intentions; to those who have bad intentions, equal bad intentions.
　It's not always easy to be a friend, but it's fun to have a friend who responds well to the feelings you express.
　It seems that Mixu and I have similar tastes.

"If you don't mind, I can marry you off.　You can even assist him in the form of a political marriage on the outside, you know.
I'm a little worried about ...... that.
Can't you fall in love with her?
No, I'm not!　Your friend's smile was offensive!

　My friend's smile?
　It's not the same as the occasional twisting of the mouth when you're thinking about something bad, but it's different. .......
　I'd like to see a smile that's so infectious that it'll steal Mix's heart: ......

What is the problem then?
The problem is that ...... your friend is hesitant to get close to anyone. This time, the incident with the Purple Demon Lord was also caused by such an attitude. ......

　It is true that if the friend had said from the beginning that the Purple Demon King would be his wife, the situation could have been settled.
　If your friend is able to understand and trap the other person, it is not impossible for him to seduce a woman who likes him.
　He even uses the nightlife in secret while having so many women around him.
　...... Well, I'll keep this information to myself for his honor.

You don't want to take advantage of your position to get away with it?
Yes, I'm going to try to be patient.
You've got a lot of powerful people around you, my friend.
Don't worry. I'm your sister!

　I, too, wanted a friendship with my friend on an equal footing.
　It's not fair to give Mixu a special status.

"Well, then I'll just support you from the shadows.
Oh, thank you so much!　...... And if you're a friend of mine, I'm sure you can handle it even if one or two of you get ahead of me.

　I heard something leak out that I shouldn't have heard.
　But I don't know, King Taze didn't hear anything.

　------------------------------------

"Hmmm...
It's a very careless sneeze.
The trick is to not breathe in. It's not like I have a cold .......

　It's also possible that you've been through a lot lately, and that you're on the verge of getting sick from all the hassle.
　In Garne, I collapsed due to overuse of comprehension actions.
　Currently, I'm at the magic research place, discussing things with Nora.
　It's one thing to actually use a spell and report what you find out, and another to make improvements if necessary.
　Ilias, his bodyguard, has left the scene to attend to some business at the Ragdoll barracks.
　Marito said that he doesn't need guards in the castle, but he reminded me not to leave this room without permission.
　What should I do if I need to go to the bathroom?

I'm still waiting for the reinforcement of the metahuman glasses.
"Yeah, it's quite inconvenient that I can't speak properly with them on. And the camera was a hit. I'm sure Marito will appreciate it if we can make it smaller.
Do we need to make it smaller?
Yes, because it's too bulky and awkward to carry around.

　Even if you don't need a Polaroid, if you can carry around images as data, it will be useful for various documents.
　Well, we don't have to force ourselves to adapt to the civilization of the earth (here).

But I want to finish something else first.
"Well, the development of miniaturization technology is another matter. Let's wait until we get more money.

　Improving existing technology and creating new technology are two different vectors.
　Since we are on track, it would be a shame to stick to one thing.

"Oh, brother. You're here?
Yoruko-sama...
Didn't you just say "sir"?
I'm afraid of Sirko.
Nora?
Huh?

　But if you become Marito's wife in the future, you'll be addressed as Sama, right?
　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
I'm not sure. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.



　Marito's guy seems to be closing the distance.
　It won't be long before he's called as a matchmaker.
　But do they have matchmakers in this world?

I'm glad. I've never seen Marito be that friendly to a woman before.
I don't have that kind of relationship with you, Marito-sama!　I'm not talking about you and Marito-sama. Marito-sama has been under a lot of stress because he has no one to talk to about his gardening hobby. If I can relieve her of this frustration, it would be a great honor for me to be her maid. That's all. It's not like Marito-sama has anything against me!
"Well, if Marito doesn't want to, then it's no use.
That's it!
Apart from that, Luco likes Marito, doesn't he?
Yes, that's because he is a ...... maid and a ...... citizen and he loves you.

　It's a good idea to keep it to a minimum, because if you make fun of it too much, it's likely that the blade will be pointed back at you.

I'm not trying to be mean. I'm just saying it's a lot better than having to deal with someone you don't like.
No, of course not!　There's no way I'm going to hate you, Marito-sama!

　I think Marito is maintaining this relationship on purpose.
　I'm afraid of a lot of things, so I'll stop pestering him too much.
　If we're not careful, we'll get hit back, that's for sure.

"Ni-chan, adults have many troublesome relationships.
"Yes, there are many troublesome relationships.

　The girl and I spent some quality time together, lamenting the complexity of human relationships.
　Later, Ilias came to pick me up and we decided to go to Marito's room.


I stopped by for no particular reason.
I'm glad you stopped by even if you didn't mean to, but I can't say I'm happy to hear you declare it.

　Marito's expression was cheerful, perhaps something good had come of it.
　On the desk is the mask I gave him earlier.
　It's the one I made for Mixu to help her with her agitation.

Did it work?
Yeah, he looked a little dubious, but it was the first time we'd had a conversation in a while.
Well, that's good. If that didn't work, I was going to arrange for a full-body bear suit.
Wouldn't the soldiers attack me if I wore it, saying a bear had appeared in the castle?

　You can't deny the possibility.
　I think it could debut as a fancy mascot if you don't care about reality.
　Tarz's mascot ...... is surprisingly possible?
　Wolf: ...... No, I don't know if the Kuro Wolves would like it, how about making a deformed Marito character?

You can see that you are now plotting against His Majesty.
"I'll forget about ....... Oh, yeah, I brought you something to show you that I made as part of my magical research. Just stand there for a moment and put on your dignified face.
That's the first time I've ever been verbally asked to put on a dignified face.

　"That's the first time I've been verbally asked to make a dignified face.
　I snapped a picture and showed it to Marito.

"Wow, you can draw such an elaborate copy in an instant?
It's not like drawing, it's more like burning the scene onto paper.
"Well, if we can make it small enough, it'll be good to have it in the dark.
Right?　You'll have to come up with a special budget for it.

　Budgets are limited to some extent.
　The budget is limited to a certain extent, and preparing an additional budget is not something Marito can do on his own, but requires discussion with the ministers.
　The more practical an object is, the more likely it is to be approved.
　A camera would be easy to convince.
　Maybe I'll sneak this photo of Marito to Luko later.

I'll bring it to the next Congress if you prepare the materials.
That won't be a problem. I've made blueprints and specifications from the start to make it easier to document.

　I've done presentations from time to time on Earth (here).
　I'm not so good at it, but I've got the know-how down.

"But while magic research is important, what you should be focusing on right now is the future actions of the third camp, right?
You're right, but it's not like we're going to do anything about it.

　I'm not going to be hostile to humans, nor am I going to be hostile to other demon lords.
　We are not going to make enemies with other demon lords.

I'm sure you'll be able to find a lot of people who'd like to help you out.
By the time we get busy, I'm sure we'll have generated some profit for Taze.
I'll keep my fingers crossed. That said, there was something I wanted to say to you.

　Marito stood up quietly and walked over to me.
　He has a very serious expression on his face.

What's up?
Hit me.
"Why not?

　Ilias has a wonderful look of surprise on his face.
　If His Majesty had asked me to hit him, I would have.

"I hit you before when I was trying to incite you. That was because my personal feelings were mixed up in it.
"Oh, no, no hard feelings about that. I'm just grateful that you woke me up.
That's true, but the guy who hit you also feels guilty. I'd like to clear my name.


No, it hurt enough to knock out my back tooth, but...
Did you break it?
Hold on to that one.

　Thanks to that, I was in a constant state of alertness and could concentrate on my game against the Purple Demon King.
　It's still a little swollen, but it doesn't hurt that much.

I'm not sure I'm going to be able to do that. I still need to be hit hard.
"Hmmm ......, you're not pulling out a sword, are you?

　It would be unfortunate if he cut off your arm when you reached out to him.

It's not a problem. If you're stopping your best friend's fist, you'll have to use all your strength to cut the dust floating nearby.
I'm not denying it, but... Let's go, Marito.
Yeah, be sure.

　Ilias is looking at you with a slightly worried look, but it can't be helped if that's what he wants.
　It won't hurt much even if I use all my strength, let me hit you with all my might.
　You'll be able to use your fist to hit Marito's cheek with all your might.

I'm not sure what to do.

　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
　Marito looks dumbfounded.

I'm sure you're not the only one.
I'm sure you'll agree.　I'm not sure what to do.
Seriously, .......

　It's so weak that Marito is shocked.
　You'll be pulled back, and it'll hurt, so you've completely failed.

You can't hit me harder than this. ...... Can't you hit me harder?
If you hit me any harder, I'm going to break my hand!
Oh my god ...... would it be faster if you hit me with that wooden sword ...... or is it the same?

　I've been told that using a sidekick won't change that.
　I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.　

"Okay, Ilias. Hit me instead.
Don't be absurd!
Yeah, that might work.
Your Majesty?

　Ilias continued to refuse with all his might, saying that he couldn't hit Marito in any way.
　In the end, he had to train his body to the level where Marito could feel pain.
　With Marito being trained by Lord Ragdoll, it would be impossible for him to train forever.
　Incidentally, it goes without saying that we all refused when Mr. Darkness said, "Then I'll do it.

　------------------------------------

　In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
　It's not as big as the Mejis demon world, but the demons that nest there are more insidious than any other demon world.
　Tireless, painless, emotionless undead demons.
　The humans took advantage of the demons' lack of wisdom and built a huge dike to prevent them from invading the human world.
　However, the existence of the dike has reduced the will of the humans to reclaim the demon world.
　The safe zone was secured, there was no need to reclaim the land any more.
　Due to the decline of the human will, the Quama Realm has remained quiet.
　At the bottom of a cliff in the Quama Realm, in a place where no sunlight can reach, there exists a small castle of ice.
　Everything is faceless ice, and even the throne at the far end of the castle can take away the body heat of those who sit on it.
　Sitting on such a throne is the Blue Demon King, the Blue Annihilator.
　He abandoned his former castle to escape from Yugra.
　However, he has no intention of leaving his land and lives quietly under the cliff like this.

Haha ...... I want to die.

　For her, sighing and wishing for death are synonymous with breathing.
　The demon kings wanted her to live when they gave her a second life.
　But this blue Demon Lord only wished for death after he became a Demon Lord.
　There is no light in his eyes as he despairs of knowing that the Demon Lord is immortal and that his wish will never come true.
　He doesn't even want to have his first near-death experience in the hope that he might die someday.
　He doesn't even try to aim for something to die.
　Having lost his independence, the Demon Lord just stares at emptiness.

"Well, aren't you in exactly the same position as when I met you before? Wouldn't it make you feel better if you moved a little?

　There was a boy who walked up to the throne where the Blue Demon King was, shouting softly.
　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

"Rahite, I'm here again. ...... You look good. ...... I want to die. ......
"You said you'd be back, Blue Demon Lord.
Didn't I? ...... Have I become an old geezer? ...... I want to die ......

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not, but I have. It will not be long before the Scarlet Witch is back in business.
So ...... there's going to be another war. ...... I want to die. ......
I can't guarantee you'll die, but I can give you a chance.
You don't make it clear to me ...... that I can lie and die ...... when I want to die.
It depends on what you do. If you're a demon lord who has no problem resurrecting again, you won't get the results you want. But if you can pose as much of a threat to the humans as the Kuro Demon Lord, they'll be serious about trying to destroy you completely.
Kuro: ...... How come you're the only one who hasn't risen from the dead: ...... Oh, I want to die: ......

　No matter what he said, the Blue Demon King was pessimistic.
　But Raheit's words reached her firmly.

I'm not sure what to say. You can use your power of annihilation without limit if you want to, you know.


"I'm going to give it my all for once. ...... God, I just want to die like that. ......
And now, if you'll excuse me.

　Rahite bowed to the Blue Demon King and left the castle.
　I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.
　The bottom of the cliff was filled with countless undead.
　They were all the people who had died in this world.
　Before the birth of the Demon Lord, the world was a time of war, where humans and subhumans alike fought each other.
　Many powerful people fought and died.
　The Blue Demon King can imbue the bones of the dead with his own magical power and bring them back to this world as undead if there is even a fragment left.
　He has an unparalleled ability to manipulate the dead through necromancy.
　The overwhelming power of annihilation that gathers the dead scattered in the past is the power of Annihilation.
　The undead displayed here are about 500 years of undead.
　It's a good thing that you're not the only one who has a problem with this.

If it were possible, I would have included the Purple Demon King, but ...... I don't want to be 'caged'. But I think that's enough.

　The blue demon king was prompted by the machinations of Raheit, a human being.
　She has no autonomy, and her future is completely dependent on the person at the helm.
　No matter what the future holds, the Blue Demon King will move as she is driven.
　She can interfere with all those who have died in the past, wielding her fearless power carelessly.
