Konjiki no Moji Tsukai

The country of Demons Xaos was located far north of Victorias.

One room in the castle of the Demon King, located within the country, had Evila warriors sitting at a long table, looking at each other.

Three chairs were arranged on each side of the long table in the fashion of confronting each other. Five of them were occupied while another one person sat at a position overlooking them with an attendant standing next to it.

That made a sum of seven people in the room. The only standing person, a woman by the name of Kiria, spoke.

I would like to open the demon conference now. First allow me to take attendance, beginning with the lowest ranking one like always.

Then Kiria shifted her gaze to the person sitting the farthest away from her.

Rank 6, Grayald-sama.

Yep.

A young man in his 20s with darkish skin answered.

Rank 5, Shublars-sama.

Here~ Fufu.

A sociable and voluptuous woman answered with a smile.

Rank 4, Ornoth-sama.

A man with the face of a wolf nodded.

Rank 3, Teckil-sama is absent today due to other commitments.

A small click of the tongue could be heard. It came from

Rank 2, Marione-sama.

a man with a grim face, obviously a hardliner. He was frowning in a bad mood. Kiria continued without paying him any heed.

Rank 1, Aquinas-sama.

Yeah.

A man with red hair muttered quietly.

Now onto todays agenda. If you please, Your Highness Eveam.

Kiria turned the topic to the blonde girl sitting next to her, Eveam.

Okay.

She opened her closed eyes and was about to speak, when Rank 2 Marione promptly raised his hand.

Whats wrong, Marione?

It is wrong on so many levels, Your Highness. Why are we missing one person for the conference?

Marione scowled at Ornoth, who had interjected, ready to kill him.

To begin with, why is a Taboo like you here! Youre just

Shut up!

!?

A sudden bellow. The atmosphere became stiff from Eveams shouted words. She glared fiercely at Marione.

Are you defying the Demon Lords order?

Grr. Hmpf!

He left the room with a snort.

Shouldnt you be stopping him, Your Highness?

She showed a faint smile to Shublars question.

N- No My conviction will not falter.

Then Aquinas, silent until now, spoke.

He has a short temper, but thats just his own way to worry about the future of the Evila.

Of course he meant Marione.

I know.

His wife and child were killed by the Gabranth.

Orneth quietly closed his eyes. Eveam clenched her fist frustrated by looking at him. She understood had Marione held an extraordinary grudge because of that incident. Still, she believed it to be wrong to dominate out of hatred.

You are dismissed for today.
