What's going on, sir? Takumi.

Leia talked to me while I was preparing dinner, worried about me.

I guess it was because she was on top of things, even though she was always able to concentrate only when she was making dinner.

'It's nothing. I was just thinking about something.'

Is that so? Since it was Takumi-san, I'm sure she must have had grand ideas that I never would have thought of.

Yeah, you're right, you're right.

I don't even get into my usual lines and stick to them.

I know why.

It's Alice.

I can't hide my confusion and shock that she's joining the guild camp.

''Hey, Alice is .......''

I stop trying to talk to Leia.

Maybe no one knows what Alice is thinking.

Ten years ago, why Alice only missed me, why she thinks I'm the weakest person in history, why she thinks I'm the strongest person in history, it's all a mystery.

''What is it?'' What's wrong with Lady Alice?

No, it's nothing.

I look intently at Leia, who looks at me with a kyoton.

How likely is it that she is the Demon King?

Leia's technique of lowering the gods makes the ancient gods reside in her body.

Did you put a demon king in your body without realizing it?

Why did Alice send Leia to me in the first place?

Ten years ago, when I protected Alice in the dungeon, if the Demon King was also there, Alice and the Demon King were ......

Well, Takumi. Well, if you stare at me too long, then...

Oh, oh. I'm sorry.

I look away from Leia, who has turned a bright red face.

The probability of Leia being a demon king seems pretty high, on a scale of one to ten, I'd say it's about a seven.

''Oh, um, did you have something on your face?''

Hey, it's nothing. I just wanted to see your face, but no, no, I didn't mean it. That's not what I meant.

We both get depressed, unable to look at each other anymore.

Seeing Leia like that makes me think she's not a demon king.

No, maybe I just want to believe that.

''I'm reluctant to be an iai-anaguma, isn't it?

...... I'll stop that gobbledygook mid-flyer!

We see Rick and the Goblin King playing chess all morning and all night.

Rick and I are supposed to have a pile of stories to tell, but we don't talk to each other at all.

What happened to Sasha and Batts, and have they been partying with Nuruhach since then?

When I spoke to him while he was playing chess, Rick just nodded silently and didn't listen properly.

'It's ...... ote-flyer-taking,'

Ugh, can't we wait for that? Mr. Ric.

I can't wait for ....... Mr. Jaslak.

What's up with you, Jasrak? They're so friendly.

I can't help but feel jealous of them.

The probability of these two being the Demon King is pretty low, I'd say 2 for the Goblin King and 3 for Rick.

I'd say the Goblin King is at least 2 and Rick is at least 3.

What do you think of my sword play? The power to shake the heavens and earth with a single blow!

Shut up. Shut up.

Zach, the Berserker, and Miakis, the Beast King, who have been together for a long time for one thing or another.

Aren't we getting along pretty well too?

I know that Miakis is not the Demon King.

As you can imagine, the Demon King doesn't want to be in the sach.

Sach's odds are close to zero to 1.

Then there's Chihar.

I go to take a peek at Chihar sleeping in the cave.

He looks happy and curled up in the straw.

I think about Chihar.

In terms of suspiciousness, Chihar may be the most suspicious one.

The adult personality that he sometimes shows.

Isn't that perhaps the personality of a demon king?

"Muñu." "Chukumi." "Itaijiuki.

Chihar smiles as he talks in his cute little sleep.

Yup. I don't want Chihar to be the Demon King or something. I reduce the odds from 8 to 4.

Of the six remaining people, the odds of five Demon Kings are like this.

And the last one.

Hey, Karuna. What are the odds of me having a Demon Lord in my midst?

I ask the demon sword Karuna.

Yes, in the end I am myself.

''The probability of the Demon King being inside Tak-kun is absolutely zero. The vessel that ordinary people have cannot exist in Tak-kun. It's empty. The power, the astral body, and the astral body can't stay there if they don't have the vessel.

...... Right.

Happy and sad, but this narrows it down to eleven people left.

'Could Karna feel the presence of the Demon King that Miakis felt?

The demon sword Karuna, which has the ability to absorb power, is quite sensitive to the signs of power.

''During the Ten Goukai, I did feel a momentary swing of power. But I didn't know who sent it. That's how small a sign it was.

I knew it.

The demon king deliberately gave out a small sign.

To let Miakis know that I'm here.

Maybe he wanted to fool me into thinking he was the Demon King.

My suspicions turn to certainty.

I'm being framed by the Demon King.

What are you thinking, Tuck, what are you thinking?

......

I couldn't answer Karuna.

Why would the Demon King do this to me?

No, there shouldn't be any connection between me and the Demon King in the first place.

If there's one thing I know, it's that the Demon King might have been in the dungeon where I picked up Alice ten years ago.

The Ancestral Demon King.

Even Miakis, the Four Heavenly Kings, had never seen its true form.

Had I met that Demon King without knowing it?

He took a big breath and let it out heavily.

'Maybe it's time to move off this mountain.

Alice's thoughts and the Demon King's intentions.

The answers to all of these questions can be found in that place.

In the labyrinth where he met Alice.
