157 CHAPTER V SECRET OF THE WORLD (1)





So, what the hell do you think you're going to tell me?
 As I sat down in the chair across from the demon king while holding Belle, who was still struggling to find her feet, I quickly got down to business.

"About that, ...... are you ready to let that ...... bell over there know that you have never revealed anything to anyone before?

'What? What I haven't revealed: ......?
 That means I'm a reincarnation, right?
 It's probably the only secret I haven't told anyone so far.
 I don't care how the Demon King knows about it, but surely you don't want ...... Belle to know about it?
 Come to think of it, why did I hide the fact that I'm a reincarnation?
 It's something you've been hiding for so long that you've forgotten why: .......
 Was it because you didn't want people to look at you funny or something?

What I'm about to tell you has something to do with Belle, doesn't it?

Yeah, a lot.

Well: ......
 Well then... I'll have to make up my mind.
 It's not like it matters that I'm a reincarnated person when compared to Belle's father and my hometown.

Okay, all right. All right, I'll tell Belle.

Okay.

Well, I'll let Belle know so we can move on.

Yeah.

"So, Bell: ......
 After making up my mind, I turned the bell I was holding to face me.

"Wait a minute ......, I can't be the only one to know Leo-sama's secret!
 As I was about to speak, Belle, who had been in a state of complete abandonment, suddenly rushed to cover my mouth.

'It's okay. I'm going to tell Shelly and the others.
 Now that I've told Bell, I'll tell Shelly and the others.

But I'll tell them at ......

Don't worry. You'll learn to live with that one day.

I'm just saying. So I'll just say it. Actually, I'm a reincarnate ...... and I have some memories of a previous life.
 Hearing the Demon King's words, I didn't wait for Belle's reaction before I said it .
 Belle was not ...... surprised and had a pouty look on her face.

''A memory from a previous life?''
 Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about just from that explanation .

'Well, it's hard to tell when you say it all of a sudden, isn't it? To put it simply, I have other memories of Leons, as well as memories of a time when I lived in a completely different world than here.

'What? What do you mean by that ......?
 Yeah...... I've prepared to say this much, but it's a delicate feeling to have a reaction like that .

'Well ...... I mean, I've had memories since I was born that someone from some different world had.
 When I explained that, Belle seemed to understand my secret more and more, but she still had a difficult look on her face.

The first thing you need to know is that you have been born ...... since you were born, so you are a Leo-sama, right?
 That's a hard question to answer: ...... If this memory is what's driving me, is the name ...... Leons just an ornament?
No, but I'm living with Leons, and if I'm aware that I'm Leons, I'm me .

Yeah . I think I'm me, including this memory.

...... Okay. Then you're good to go.
 Satisfied with the answer I had given her after much thought, Belle, who was being held by me, smiled softly at me.

'Huh? Do you have any more? Me, the reason I've been getting good grades and making a lot of money is because of this memory, right? Don't you think that's unfair?
 First of all, it's the memories that made creation magic such a cheat ability: ....... Me, what kind of life would I be living if I didn't have any memories of my previous life?
 Maybe ...... I wouldn't have been able to use normal, or even creative magic, so I'd have been treated like a dropout .

 But I would have had a more peaceful life than I do now, right?
 He wouldn't have been too strong for nothing, and Grandpa wouldn't have taken him to the dungeon, so he'd still be alive: .......

 Ah, but that's not what happened .
 The attack on Shelly's birthday party would have been attacked by a ninja, regardless of my memory ......, so he probably would have died there .
 So you're lucky to have the memory.

...... I don't think it's ...... cheating, since it's part of Leo-sama. Memories of a different world? I don't care if you have or not, my feelings about Leo-sama will never change. No matter how powerful Leo-sama is, I know that he doesn't use his power for anything wrong except for s*x, and he is a kind person who works hard for others.
 When I was done with my thoughts, Belle came over to me with a barrage of words to tell me how she felt.
 It's not that I'm not a nice person, but ...... well, I'm just doing what I want to do, and as a result, I'm doing it for other people, so I'm not a nice person, but ...... well, I'd say thank you.

." "Oh, thanks .......

"Kukku. Except for the s*x stuff.

Yeah, that's ......
 I was going to miss out on hearing about that because there were a few things that were familiar to me~ .
 I couldn't help but turn my eyes to the Demon King to tell him to stop .

''I don't mind. It's the prerogative of the human race to have a healthy s*x drive.

Really?
 Well, compared to the demon race, which has a long life span, it's more important to leave offspring, and is that right?



'Oh, no, not as much as the beastly race, but ......'
 The Demon King didn't expect to be heard back seriously, but he quickly corrected himself .
 Are they inferior to the beast race? ...... It's true, the beast race is instinctive in terms of imagery .

''That's right~''

What is it? Are you trying to tell me that I'm s*xier than Master Leo?
 I turned to face Belle with a grin on my face, and she was miffed.

'Nothing~'
 Because if you're not a naughty person, you've got my clothes in your room ...... No, I'm wrong about this .
 I didn't see anything in Belle's room in the morning .
 The moment I tried to remember the morning, Belle's miffed eyes turned into a glare, and I stopped thinking.
 Yeah, I can't piss Belle off any more.

Really, you guys are hot. I don't think the master and the maid are related. Or is this the kind of forbidden love that only humans have. I'm a demon. I don't know.

'Well, ...... I've got a lot to say, but how do you know Belle is a maid?'
 What's a forbidden love? ...... No, if you ask me, it's a forbidden love between the head of a noble family with a fiancée and a maid who is in love with him.
 Well, I don't care about that, so it's okay . No, should I care about it?

 Noah. More importantly, how did the Dark Lord know that Belle is a maid?
 Now that Belle is dressed as an adventurer, she shouldn't look like a maid at all, should she?

Hmm? Yeah, I've been watching you with this in my spare time for the last few years.
 Saying that, the demon king took out a transparent sphere the size of a basketball from somewhere.

''Is this the core of the ...... dungeon?''

Oh, you got it right. Oh, and by the way, you're a failure too, but you built a dungeon.
 You know me so well. I knew you'd be watching me.

'Yeah, I know, but aren't the cores of ...... dungeons usually only seen inside those dungeons?

'Yeah, usually it is. That's because this is combined with my spatial magic.

'When combined with spatial magic, you mean you can peek anywhere you want?

That's it. I've been to all the places in the world I've visited. Well, I don't go to the girl's bathroom.

Well, I don't want to talk about it.
 Why do you keep trying to bring it up?

Master Leo, no matter how many times you get pissed off, you can't stop peeking at me: ......
 Oh, I can't hear you~!

'Well, all kidding aside, there isn't a place in the world I haven't been to, so I can look at practically any place I want in the world from this core.

This whole world is like my dungeon.
 He's just the most powerful demon in the world.

That was true a little over a hundred years ago, wasn't it?

"What?
 I was kidding when I said that the whole world is a demon king's dungeon, right?

Okay, now that Belle is relaxed. Let's get down to business.

Uh-huh.

"Let's start by talking about ...... and how I'm a reincarnation too, okay?

"'What? A reincarnation!
 Belle and I were both surprised to hear something outrageous said right from the start.
