The Simple Job of Only Perishing to the Hero

Book 10: Chapter 21: (1)

Hn. Thats nice.

In the office of the Demon Kings Castle after the end of the world conference, the Demon God listened to Vermudols story in a lazy mood.

Both his office and her private room were the same roomOr rather, seeing that the room that the workaholic king Vermudol was always in was his office, the Demon God blurted out Its nice since Ill fall asleep immediately. She was a slothful king, the extreme opposite of Vermudol.

The Demon God, who was nibbling on cookies while lying down on her bed, was paying no attention to Vermudols story with an uncaring look on her face. 

Youre the one who said to tell you the story. Dont ask about it if youre not interested.

Well, I thought it was gonna be interesting with some nation saying something like Dont screw with me, its obvious that theres something behind a proposal of a Mazoku!. What a let-down.

Vermudol thought that any nation that would say such a joke at this point in time would fall to ruin in the near future, but there was no telling what was actually in the hearts of the representatives of each nation. It was because leaving behind personal thoughts was proper in an international sense, and that was diplomacy.

For example, if it was a story where it was a bilateral conversation with the Zadark Kingdom, someone showing a hostile attitude like the former Sarigan hador maybe several people like that might have been mixed in.

What the Demon God was expecting was for someone like that to behave recklessly, but it means that her expectations were off of the mark.

Well, whatever. So, youre saying that with that, the world conferences or whatever have become something permanent, and the groundwork for things from now on have been made.

Thats how it is.

I wonder if thats alright. A castle like that, I think it would be better to destroy it for the sake of the future though.

What do you mean by that?

Hearing those inexcusable words, Vermudols hands stopped working on his paperwork, and he turned his gaze to the Demon God. 

The Demon God, who was still lying down on top of the bed, expressed an amused-looking smile towards Vermudol.

That thing is connected to places around the world, you know?

Thats right.

It was just as the Demon God said. The Gods opened up gates to the Avaldia Castle that existed in the Dimensional Gap, and made it so that it would be easy to go to. If there was some sort of problem with thatit would be.

Is it a concern over military use?

I see. That certainly is also possible. The gates, which are connected to each nationspossibly capital city or royal castle, could, if said in another way, also be a gate to easily invade the center of an enemy nation. If they were to send an army and slaughter the nations local staff, they most likely wouldnt be found out until the moment they attacked.

It was probably easier said than done, and the Gods would probably close the gates if they were to sense that was happening buthe couldnt declare that there wasnt the possibility of it happening.

If in the unlikely event that happens, the words international cooperation would probably never come out again.

But well, for me, I would nominate the possibility that the nations of mankind would use it in order to discuss crushing you. After all, it would be the perfect chance to attack the Zadark Kingdom that is surrounded by the sea and annihilate the Mazoku. Even if they didnt hold their conferences in the Avaldia Castle, it would be good enough to pass through the castle to send personnel to some other nation, see?

If they were to go through that castle, they certainly could attack the Demon Kings Castle as well. Even without something impressive like the Holy Dragon, it was certain that they could dispatch their finest pick of warriors.

If they could defeat Vermudol with that, it would be a surprise victory.

But, that wouldnt happen.

Do not say something so foolish. I had forged ahead with the friendship policies so that it would not turn out like that.

Eh, what you did was the foolish thing, wasnt it. Considering how its much simpler and faster to attack and destroy rather than form friendships, if you look back on history, there just as many nations that would go on the attack as there are stars in the sky, you know?

And I worked hard so that they wouldnt do that.

As she vigorously opened the door, fatigue was displayed on Ykslaass face, but that was inevitable. 

When being entrusted with work using Vermudol as the standard, a majority of Mazoku would run away, while normal people would collapse. Only someone like Ichika could come through that looking decent.

Listen, okay? Although that workaholic over there would probably say if they come to attack, we just have to destroy them instead, but my thoughts on that are different.

Heeh?

The Demon God turned her eyes towards Ykslaas, and sent a gaze that looked like she was testing her.

The creation of the foundation so they wont attack. For better or worse, this is born from within connections. We maintain a power that wont let them attack, and make an appeal to them saying that there was nothing more showy than that. If we make them think that they will lose even if they attack, then it is our win.

I was thinking the same way about that too though.

That is why Vermudol prioritized rapidly creating the Zadark Kingdoms shape.

As a result, he felt that it had turned out splendidly butYkslaas looked at that Vermudol with cold eyes.

But, youll destroy them if they attack, right?

Naturally. It will turn into a future grudge if they are forgiven halfway. There is no meaning unless they are thoroughly crushed down to the root.

After Ykslaas breathed a sigh at Vermudols decisive answer, she approached his work desk and struck it with a *pan*.

Look here. There are also the words vassal state in the world, you know? Even if it doesnt go that far, things will greatly change just by changing out the head. You are too thorough on every little thing. You should think a bit more flexibly.

I do not see that sort of thing as good. Dominated regions will always seek independence, and once that happens, they will fabricate any sort of wicked legend. And if a switched out head does anything unnecessary, the criticisms regarding those foolish plans will be pointed our way. If we are going to bear such risks, it would be better to clean it all up once and for all.

What Im saying is! That all-or-nothing kind of Mazoku thinking is hard to accept in mankinds point of view!

If the Demon God had to say anything, either way was more than enough to be radical, and considering how the words of recommending surrender or peace treaty didnt come out at all, the Mazoku way of thinking of enemies will be crushed didnt vanish at all. Since the two of them were thinking with the premise that they would crushingly defeat that administration and change it out with a different system, it would turn out like that though. 

Well, if anything else would make the other nation take up a history of disgrace and propagate grudges in their life to come, then their way was indeed much more tidy.

It was too tidy that they absolutely wouldnt gain the understanding from the other nations, and if handled poorly, things would definitely turn into a global war under the name of justice butThat itself would be interesting to the Demon God.

Well, the two of you go ahead and leisurely talk about that part. If you want, Ill open up this bed, so wanna try going at it until morning?

If you plan on bringing out the sexual urges of this workaholic, then youd be able to make a withered tree bloom flowers.

Shes saying some horrible things, Vermudol. What will you do? This is where youre supposed to show your manliness, you know?

Instigated by the Demon God, Vermudol glanced over at Ykslaas.

Ykslaas unconsciously backed away from that gaze.

Vermudol usually acted as if to say that work was his girlfriend, but he would do things when needed. She thought it was unlikely, but if Vermudol felt that way

In front of Ykslaas, who gulped, Vermudol made a small laugh.

Well, there is some truth to what Ykslaas is saying.

Oi oi, this guy went and agreed with her. Far from being withered, isnt he just returning to the soil?

Rather, hes a fossil. Well, that is very Vermudol-like, isnt it?

After Ykslaas said that and brushed up her hair, a grinning Demon God stood up from the bed and came over to whisper into her ear.

What

Is getting pushed down your preference?

In the instant where it was unknown if those words had finished or not, Ykslaass sword pierced the space that the Demon God was at just a moment ago.

Being exasperated with the Demon God that nimbly evaded and cackled, and Ykslaas who was aiming her second attack, Vermudol breathed a sigh.

If you are going to play around, do it outside.

Does it look like were playing around!?

Being yelled at by Ykslaas, Vermudol once again looked at their states.

Am I wrong?

You are wrong, you idiot! Its because youre like that that dumbasses like this spout out nonsense with self-satisfied looks!

Fumu.

Seeing Vermudol nod with a face that said he didnt get it at all, even Ykslaass anger cooled down.

However, it was there that the Demon God poured even more of the oil known as words.

But, Im the only one can support that sort of Vermudol, is what you were thinking, right?

You! Ill turn you into little pieces and scatter you around Ichikas fields, you know!?

Go ahead and try it, former fake Demon King-made, small breasted, tsundere, loli Head Maid. Ah, prime minister was added just a little while ago, wasnt it? To try and even add the title of Demon Kings wife to that, just what are you thinking? You should follow Vermudols example since he finished his introduction with the phrase of the workaholic Demon King.

At this point, Ykslaas was silent.

As expected, she wouldnt use magic indoors, but she unleashed her sword aiming at the Demon Gods vital spots one after another. 

In contrast, the Demon God nimbly evaded those, and before long, she jumped out of the window.

Just as Ykslaas was about to jump out to chase after her, her body was pulled from behind by Vermudol.

Hey, whawhatre you doing.

Dont face her upfront once shes started her teasing. Once shes like that, ninety percent of her remarks are nonsense. Since her true strength is the real thing, youll be her toy until shes tired of it, you know?

Ugh

Thats right, though imperfect, that was a God. He was right in saying that Ykslaas couldnt win, but.

There are times where you cant yield though, right.

That is true. So, was this a time where you cant yield?

After Ykslaas fell silent for a bit, she looked up at Vermudol as he held onto her andshe muttered Not really.

I see. Then just half mindedly deal with her. She will be returning here anyway.

Thats true. It looks like that thing has taken a liking to you after all.

I wonder about thatI think its just that there arent any other interesting places though.

At that moment, Vermudol felt the sensation of something slipping into his arms as he was holding onto Ykslaas.

He thought that the Demon God had already returned, but that wasnt the case.

Surprisingly, or maybe it was properly, the one who was there was Nino.

Unfair. Nino hasnt had this done to her yet.

Is that so? Well, Nino, its because there are few times where I see you and think that its dangerous

Vermudol had purely taken emergency evasive measures, but from Ninos perspective, it could only look like they were flirting.

Therefore, to Nino, crawling into his arms was a claim to a justified privilege, but for the feeling of satisfaction, it was at about half.

Ah, how unfair. Just when I thought I wasnt being chased, you go and do something fun looking without me.

It was there that the Demon God poked her face in from the window and joined in.

Do not say such incomprehensible things.

Vermudol, its just like you to not get that. Well, whatever. Look outside.

The Demon Gods figure as she passed through the window frame with widely spread out legs made her an unparalleled failure as a lady wearing a skirt.

For now, Vermudol separated from Nino and Ykslaas, grabbed the Demon God and tossed her aside, and approached the window.

Having been purposely told to look, he assumed she meant there was a scene below, so when he turned his gaze over there, Sancreed and Luutys figures were there.

Fainell was also there next to them, but just what kind of gathering was that?

From what he could see, it looked like Luuty and Fainell were pressing Sancreed about something.

See, interesting, right?

Even if you ask me if its interesting. What kind of gathering is that?

What, you cant hear them? Look

When a transparent ball was made from within the Demon Gods hand, it floated in the air and started to make sounds. It seemed to be delivering the voices of the three people down below.

Hearing those voices, he finally understood the situation.
