333 laugh for the sake of.




 A room for talks in Garne Castle. In this room, which was used during the invasion of the Scarlet Witch King, the nations are once again discussing the new threat.
 The lineup of those present was a bit different than before. The representative of Trinh was not only Odysseus, but also the king, Talma-Trin, and the representative of Serende was not Washekht, but the new king, Nuhusa.
 With the exception of the Ghanaian nation, the situation of the other nations has also changed somewhat, with Marit and Pope Eupharo having many guards in the past, but this time there are only about five guards. This time, however, there were only about five guards, probably because there was no need to be vigilant. Personally, I am impressed by Zenotta's boldness in bringing only a record-keeper with him.
 The most noticeable change is that the seat my compatriot was sitting in is occupied by the Blue Demon King, and beside him is me.

I've already informed you of the situation. In the Serende Demon Realm, where the Kuro Demon Lord is located, the demons are gathering and preparing to invade. According to the Golden Demon Lord's analysis, the invasion will begin within three weeks at the earliest and a month at the latest.

 I'm not sure what to make of this. There are more of them than in the Scarlet Witch King's time, and their strength as individuals is also higher. However, in terms of the battlefield, the situation is easier than in the previous battles.

King Taze, do you have any idea of the invasion route?
"I'll tell you about it.

 The reason for this is the existence of this man, the Blue Demon King. I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. Although their numbers are inferior to those of other demons, the huge army of dragons alone can rival the entire strength of our side.

I'm not sure what to make of this. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.
I'm not sure what to do. Wait until your beard turns white before you indulge in idle sentimentality.
Gee, I've been noticing a lot of gray in my hair lately. ......
I approve of your light-hearted and bold attitude in front of ...... me. Let's keep talking.

 I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not. I was a little curious as to how the Blue Demon King would feel about it, but it seems to be making a good impression. Like his compatriots and Marito, who he interacts with in a more relaxed manner, this man seems to like people who are a little different.

There is no concept of military strategy in Kuro. He uses his power to crush everything head on. He is adamant that this is the way it should be as a demon lord who destroys the world, not people. This invasion will also be foolishly carried out against all sides.
I'm not sure what to make of that. It's a form of invasion of each country via the three demon worlds of Taze, Ghanaian, and Mejis.
That's right. I'll deal with the Taze demon world with my demons. I'm not going to be able to do that. If there are no people or land to worry about, the soldiers will be able to move freely.

 Unlike the other demon worlds that are wilderness, the Taze demon world is a demon world covered with giant plants. It is difficult for human soldiers to even form a formation.
 In addition, there is the Kuro Demon Slayer Mountain where the demon eaters exist between the demon world of Taize and Taize. It will be a tougher route than breaking through the human army.

The demons alone may fail to defeat them.
You don't need me to tell you that, King Taze.
Of course. So, how do you plan to move the rest of the Demon Lord's army?
The blue and purple have both lost most of their demons to Scarlet's army. It will be in the form of sleeping guards or transporting them to each unit as a message. As for the strength that each of us has, we will use it to deal with the demons of the Kuro.

 In the past, the Scarlet Witch has used the power of the Struggle to strengthen her army of demons, but she has not been able to replenish the demons that were consumed as decoys in order to minimize casualties. You can operate unique classes such as Duvraeori, Battler Army, and Daruagestia, but those must be used to counter the trump card of the Kuro Demon Lord. The battlefield will be a battle between humans and demons.

Demons. ....... That's how much of a threat they are.
If the gold is there, we can keep track of the enemy's numbers and movements. The advantage is heavily tilted in our favor. But it's his demons that can overturn that. If left unchecked, everything will be reversed from there.
The only thing we can do at this point is to send our best men and women to the places where the demons have appeared, using flying means.
I'll lend you a few flying dragons. I'll lend you a few flying dragons. Deploy them so they can move anywhere.

 We'll intercept the Kuro Demon Lord's army in the Three Realms. Use the information gathering ability of the Golden Demon King to maintain the advantage and deal with the demons that are considered dangerous. That's the general plan.

I thought you were quiet.
I thought you'd been quiet for a long time. What's wrong with you, King Trinh?
In the past, our ancestors were helplessly overrun and dispossessed by the invading Demon Lords. Trinh is a land of people with the scars of such past horrors etched in their hearts. And yet, here we are, joining a battle that we have found a way to win. There are some things to think about.
It's true that things have changed since then.
"...... Back then, the Demon Lord was just an object of awe. But now you see the humanity in us Demon Lords. That's the difference.
I never thought I'd have to spend hundreds of years doing just that.
"All men are different. All men are stupid. You should be proud of the changes you've made.

 The rest of the discussion proceeded uneventfully, with Garne and Quama's troops deployed in the Garne Realm, Mejis and Selende's troops in the Mejis Realm, and Taze and Trinh's troops joining the battlefield as needed.
 As the conversation progressed, Pope Eupharo raised his hand and asked a question to the Blue Demon King.



"May I have your attention, Blue Demon Lord?
Head of the Church of Yuggra. Yes.
I've heard that the resurrected Yggra is behind this invasion. Do you think he'll be an enemy too?

 The situation of Yugra turning into an enemy is a complicated issue for Mejis, who is mainly a Yugra cult. If the hero who once led them becomes their enemy, they will need to think about the words and content of what they say to their soldiers.

Basically, no.
"Basically, ......?
"Yugra will help set up the arrangements for Kuro's revenge. But he will not be a part of this invasion.
How can you be so sure?
If that thing was serious about becoming an enemy of man, it would have already scorched every country in the world.
...... Is that so?
Yes. The fact that we are able to prepare like this now is proof that Yugra's intervention was only to set the scene.

 He's the kind of guy who wants to erase the entire history of this world in the first place. Only Yugra is on a different scale in every way.
 It's true that the Kuro Demon King is back because of Yugra's intervention in this case. But that's just a stalling tactic by my people to protect this world from Yugra.

Do you think he'll be able to pull it off?
I don't know. I don't know. But just creating this situation against Yugra is an accomplishment. He's created a situation where I can make my move.
...... You're right, it's nothing like it was a few hundred years ago.
The only thing we can do is hope for the best from the man. We may not be able to do much, but we're from the same planet as Yugra. There's always a chance. Only the possibility.

 My people are still with the Kuro Demon Lord in the Serendipity Realm. He's looking beyond this battle and trying his best to find a way to save this world.
 Then I'll set up the premise. I'm going to move the board into the shape I want it to be so that my people can make the next move.

 I have nothing to do.

I'm running out of things to do, any interesting topics?
"......

 This body is too fragile. We need to sleep at least once a day to even maintain normal consciousness. So if I take a nap, I'll be in a situation where I have to interact with this man in this space.

You can think while you're awake. Or should I say, I can only think. Thanks to you, I'm completely bored. Wouldn't you be bored if all you did was give orders?
You've got a lot of attitude after saying so many goodbyes in the first place.
I thought I'd lost it after I said that. I thought about it a lot, and I knew we'd be seeing each other a lot. It was embarrassing.
"...... I have nothing to say to you.

 The man in the cracked mirror makes a slightly disappointed face. But you can't be too careful. This man is an ordinary man, but he thinks and thinks and thinks and does everything. He is a man of persistence and fervor.
 In this situation where he can do nothing but think, it is better to think that there is something in his thoughts.

"Oh, yeah. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it.
......
I'm sure you've seen the same thing I've seen. Those three demons, Zahava, Lazarikata, and Ophalo... Are you going to send them in?
What does it matter?
I was wondering if you could tell those three about your hatred.

 I find this man's eyes creepy, even if they're not directed at me. I don't know how to describe these eyes that tolerate, accept and try to understand even the madness of the other person.

It's a power I've given him. Then I have no problem using it as my power, whatever it is.
It's the girls themselves who have overcome.
...... Do you even understand what awakening is?
If you think about what the three of you have in common, it's kind of obvious.

 Zahava and Lazarikata are still easy to understand. It's not that they don't have that tendency in their signs, speech, and attitude. However, O'Farrow rarely opens his mouth, nor does he show it in his attitude. And yet, this man is not bluffing, he is speaking from experience.

"So there are people like the three of them in your world?
"There are people like them in every world. It's just a matter of whether or not the world weeds them out.
"...... I guess.

 In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.
 Even when I and my friends were trapped in vengeance after the attack on our village, they were still the same. The three of us remained the same even when the village was attacked and my friends and I were trapped in revenge.

While many demons were going crazy with the passage of time, those three were the only ones who were able to awaken because they had their own core. They were originally considered to be crazy, and they were never changed by the environment around them, nor could they be changed by it. That's what Yugra was laughing at. It's a terrible system that can't be completed unless it's originally broken.



 Those who swore with me to avenge the humans. The ones who knew about the Awakening and promised to become it. They were decent. But they're the ones who were changed.
 The ones I led, the ones I corrupted with me, the ones who, for whatever reason, were able to change.
 Then it was quite possible that the flow of time would change them. If they lose that core, their hearts will not be able to endure the long years of human existence.

If you want to laugh, laugh. I will avenge you, no matter how foul or ugly.
"I'm not going to laugh. You can count on it.
What do you mean, "expect"?
Those three demons were crooked from the start, but they didn't get any more crooked. That's why they stayed the same until now and awakened. That's what's so great about them.
"So what do you expect from those three?
Oh, no, no, no. It's you I'm expecting. The Kuro Mad King. You used to be sane. You're the one who was changed. Then you yourself can change again.

 I can't read anything from your eyes. If I could use my powers, I wouldn't hesitate to reveal this man's mind, but I can't.

It's never going to change. I've come to realize that this world must end. That thought will never change. It will never waver.
Is that so? You don't seem to realize it, but you're talking a lot more than usual right now.
"What?

 Without thinking, he slammed his fist into the mirror. In the mirror, the original crack has widened a little, but the mirror is still there.
 In the mirror, the man smiled a little happily and disappeared.
