Chapter 332 The Approaching Great Beings
Zex judged that Haru, Chinatsu, and Touko have proven their abilities. The bodies of Zex that the three fought this time were an early model called the ‘Single Number’. Even though their performances were inferior to that of the latest model, they were still capable of demonstrating power equivalent to level 8. It means that the girls have shown their abilities to challenge the Great Eight Demons, and at the same time, they are worthy of being considered for the right to use the door to another world. In short, Alezel and Zex have been making arrangements so that the girls can use the door.
「The way they did it was problematic, but they were doing it for the sake of our disciples.」
「That’s right. This Alezel ain’t only cute and beautiful, but also a caring elf. You have to understand that.」
「I understand what you’re saying, but I still want to burn this thing.」
「What a coincidence, I was thinking of giving her a nightmare.」
「Ooh, Nell-dono and Lilyvia-dono are on good terms today! What a pleasant thing!」
「「………」」
「I’m damaged!?」
I understand what Alezel and Zex are saying. I don’t know if there are really such rules in the Great Eight Demons, but they probably won’t lie with the risk of making an enemy of Nell and Lilyvia. Let’s cancel their judgment.
Once the doubts are cleared, the next step is to share the information. In order to convey this information to Haru and others, I called the three and Zeta to the monitor room. It might be too late saying it now, but this room is the embodiment of Al Nova’s science and technology. The girls were really surprised when they entered the room. ….. I felt that even Zeta was surprised too.
「U-Umm… why are Alezel-san and Zex-san being caught…?」
""「Z-Zex-samaaa!?」
Oh, I was wrong. They were just surprised when they saw Alezel and Zex being caught.
「N-No way…! To think that Zex-sama has such a hobby…! It hasn’t been long since I served Zex-sama, but I thought that I understand every inch of Zex-sama’s interests and preferences. However, that thought itself was proof of my inexperience, right? Uhh, I’m embarrassed that I didn’t know that you had such a side of you…!」
「Fuhaha. Zeta, I think you’re making a terrible misunderstanding.」
「No, you don’t have to say anything else, Zex-sama! I will continue to devote myself so that I can satisfy you! I can’t do it now, but someday I’ll be able to leave a big scar on that body!」
「Fuhaha, I’m troubled….」
Zeta seems to have made a big misunderstanding when she saw the large damaged part of Zex, which was inflicted by Nell and Lily. If he’s laughing when being tied up and broken, it’s natural that she will misunderstand.
「Nell, Lily, the doubts have cleared up, so just release them already. If you leave them like that, there will be more needless misunderstandings, you know?」
「I understand it in my head, but my feelings can’t accept it.」
「Same here.」
「…… You guys are actually very close, aren’t you?」
After keeping the two in check, I somehow managed to release Alezel and Zex. I never thought that such hard work would be waiting for me after the cleaning. Not to imitate Lilyvia, but I feel like I want to sleep as soon as possible.
However, there’s a reason why I can’t do that. We still haven’t told the girls what happened. Since a while ago, the three other than Zeta have been tilting their heads to the right and now to the left. Let’s tell them quickly and take a break. I’m so tired today.
「Eh!? I can challenge the Great Eight Demons!?」
「Eeh!? We will be able to use the door to go back to Japan!?」
「Eeeh!? I can work as a live-in maid for Deris-danna!?」
The three were surprised at different things. Haru was more interested in the Great Eight Demons than the door, and Chinatsu was more interested in the door than the Great Eight Demons. As for Touko―― hey, wait. I didn’t say anything about that, you know? And Lily, stop nodding your head with an attitude that’s as if saying ‘well done’. Are they trying to trap me?
「Ow ow ow…. Uhee~, the feeling of damage I got after a long time, it’s painful~」
Alezel is intentionally holding down her body while complaining about the pain. It shouldn’t be hurt that much even if it’s not a lie, so I’m not worried about her.
「It seems that the timing was bad. Well, you should be grateful that you still have your life even after making Nell and Lily angry that much.」
「I don’t mind thinking positively, but I’ve already learned my lesson and don’t wanna do dangerous things like this again…. I wanna blame myself for returning to a child’s mind even for a moment. I ain’t gonna hold back if it’s to think about new products, though.」
「No, you usually stick your nose into something dangerous, right?」
「Don’t lump those trivial matters with making an enemy of Nell and Lily! I’m weak, y’know!?」
I don’t think a really weak person could handle a barrage of Made in Zex’s Gatling guns head-on.
「Ah, that’s right. Deris, about the door…」
「Hm?」
「It seems that it will arrive tomorrow. I’m sure it’s gonna be even more hectic than today, so you should go to bed early today~」
「……? Yeah, I was planning to do so even without you telling me.」
「I see. It’s fine then.」
From Alezel’s words, I felt that she was still planning something, so I became more cautious.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On this day, strong people from all over the world, the most evil beings called Demon Kings, are gathering on the continent of Zen. Some of them originally live in this continent, some of them come across the sky or the sea, and some of them manipulate the space to move instantly.
Even in this sea area, which is located between the continents of Jiba and the continent of Zen, two of these great beings are giving off a tremendously strong presence. When they pass by, the surrounding monsters would make way for them and run away immediately. It’s as if they are desperately trying to get away from the disaster.
「How’s it~? My front crawl is quite something, isn’t it~?」
One of the Demon Kings, a silver-haired girl who looks like a cute little girl, is crossing the sea with a tremendous sea spray. She’s also wearing swimsuit-like clothes that seem to be custom-made. And as she said, she’s swimming well.
「It’s pretty good, but how can you swim as fast as my swimming speed…?」
The other Demon King, the one who looks like a water dragon and is swimming underwater, said so in amazement. In the past, he had confidence that no one could beat him when it came to swimming underwater, but today, that confidence had been shattered. It’s strange for a vampire to swim in the ocean, but it’s pointless to question her since common sense doesn’t apply to her.
I’m sure you can figure out who these people are. The third rank of the Great Eight Demons, the 『Vampire Princess』 Maria Irygal, and the eighth rank of the Great Eight Demons, the 『Domination Craver』 Hund Lind. The old and new members of the Great Eight Demons are swimming together in this vast sea and are heading toward the continent of Zen at a tremendous speed.
「More importantly, why are we heading toward the continent of Zen? I haven’t heard anything yet.」
「You see~, I went to the continent of Jiba to meet Lily-chan, but no one was there~. Then, Alezel-chan contacted me, saying that they are in Zen’s Al Nova. In that case, I thought I’d bring Newcomer-kun along with me!」
「Wait, in which part of that story that I need to go to Zen? Indeed, Alezel-dono contacted me about such a thing, but I should have politely declined it, you know?」
「You’re free, right?」
「No, I’m busy. I’m a Demon King and I have my own territory to govern, you know? In order to establish a good reign, I have to――」
「――But I’m free~, so Hund-chan is also free! Come on, let’s swim~!」
「………」
Unknowingly, Hund got the short end of the stick.
