8 Let's use magic 1




Mmmm ......

 You're sitting on a throne that you've become accustomed to sitting on, groaning in front of a menu.

What's the matter with you? Looking intently at nothing like that.

 Until a while ago, I had never really dealt with a ...... slime before, but when I look at it like this, it's quite a lovely guy: ...... I've been pecking at Shi, and she looks at me with a quizzical expression.

It's not a problem.

 This guy doesn't see this menu screen? 

Hmm . It seems like you're just gazing vacantly into the void as if you were gazing intently into the void as if you were watching the status of your own. You have some analysis skills too, as I recall.

 You look convinced when you say that, Reffi.

"The way you say it, do you have a Rephi?

"Hmm. That's useful, my dear. The higher your skill level, the more you'll be able to see everything. Well, there are only a handful of people who can raise their skill level that high.

...... Hey, didn't you know I'm a demon king when you first came in here yesterday? If you had the analysis, wouldn't you have known I was the Demon King all along?

I didn't use any analysis because I thought some woody demon tribe had come to my territory without a second thought, and I figured they were probably small fry. I was so preoccupied with the rest. I'd completely forgotten about it. Yuki, I want to eat.

"You'll definitely have a cavity one of these days.

What are you talking about. I am an ancient dragon. Do not go out of state.

 Is a cavity an abnormality, or is it?
 I open the DP catalog and hand it to Lephi.

"Hmm? What's this?

"Cookies

Let's see. ...... Woohoo! It's delicious too! You were right to leave your old bunk! The bedding is comfortable, and I didn't know that the humanoid form was so comfortable.

 Wafu.
 Leffy giggles as she giggles and eats her cookies like a child.
 Well, I'm glad you like it. Because they're cheaper than chocolate.

And then? What were you wondering about while looking at the status?

No, I want to learn to use magic. The magic value seems to be high, so I guess it's not impossible to use it: ......

 That's what I thought when I saw the gruesome scene when I knocked the dog over.

 I was after all the kind of person who never got into a fight in my previous life.
 Although my physical abilities are somewhat high, I'm sure there are still many monsters stronger than that dog, and more importantly, I don't think that's enough to win against battle-hardened humans and sub-humans who hide in dungeons.
 Some of them would be enemies, even if they are of the same species.

 We have this dragon at home, but that doesn't stop us from relying on it, we know we'll get hurt if we continue to rely on it.

 I know. "What's a king without pride? You're going to die from that kind of mind.

 After all, this world is quite harsh. So I thought there's nothing wrong with having power, and if we're in another world anyway, shouldn't we be able to use magic?
 Besides, as far as the status is concerned, my ability value is far higher than others in terms of magic power.
 There's no way I can't use it.

 Well, then why don't you just summon a stronger demon under your command?
 What can I say, but I just want to use magic. That's all.  

 --I just don't know how to use it.

 I'm alone in the "Kame-Me Wave! or "The War 00! I tried to do that, but it didn't activate at all.
 I'm just kidding, but since I was able to get a bodily skill from the yakuza kick in that battle, I'm thinking that I can get a magic skill by doing a related action: .......

 So, what is magic?
 Since I could sense the magic of the dungeon, I thought that I might be able to sense the magic inside me as well, but I have no idea.
 I tried to meditate or something like that, but all I could hear was Leffy and Shi joking around. Is it a different approach?

That's true. I'd say that's well above average. --Hmm? The level is rising. Did you kill the demon while I was sleeping?

Sort of. ...... Hey, I need to ask you something for later. What's my status?

"It's different, but they're just as strong as the demons that live around here, or a little stronger. Many of them are stronger than you. But they're still less than a hundredth of my numbers!

 . and then laughs with an amused smile.
 It's less than a hundredth of a percent: .......

 It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

I can teach you some magic, if you want. But it can't be for free--

 I silently took out another bag of cookies and tossed it to Ha Long.

''Mm! Good, I will make you the great mage of the century.


 It is a great help in the handy Horyu.
