Looking at the analytical skills, there is no doubt that this man is the king. Well, even if you don't rely on that, it's self-evident, given the circumstances.

I'm ...... right. That's the kind of person I am.

　For a moment, after confirming that a nearby girl is completely asleep, I busted out the wings on my back and showed them to the king.

...... You are a demon. Have you come to take advantage of the confusion to get my head? ......, but killing me won't do you any good anymore.

　The king says with a self-mocking smile.

"I know there's no point in killing you, and I don't intend to kill you to begin with. If I was going to kill you, I would have done it already. I'm just here to help. You should thank me.

"...... demons,?

"Demon race, that's for sure. I'm not a demon dog. --I'm the demon king. A dweller in the forest of demons.

"I see, you're the one who said ......

　The king looks at you sharply at my words.

　You can see the dignity of a king who ruled a country despite his battered appearance.

"I still don't understand. What brings such a man to this place?

"I didn't want to come here either. But there are a lot of human a**h*les who have been messing with our property. The ringleader looks like the prince of the land, so I came to ruin it for the peace of mind of my home. ......

　Cowering his shoulders, the king let out a little smile.

That's a disaster. ...... but that's okay. That stupid son of a b*tc* still had his hand in the land. ......

You should at least discipline your children. I can't afford to let the prince's allies take over. It would be troublesome to have another human under my command. So I want you at the head of the line again and take the reins of the humans. So I will help you.

"...... I see. That's a clear and unequivocal reason. But ......

　Tiredly, he left the front of the cage and sat down with his back to the wall beside him.

...... I am the King of Fools. I'm a foolish king," he said, "I'm aware that my son is getting crazier and crazier (・・・・・・・・), but I couldn't do anything about it, and eventually caused this to happen. ...... Do you think such a man has the power to unite everyone (everyone)?

If you can't do it, I'm going to kill a lot of people in this country. Your idiot son wants my land, but as a resident of that place, of course I can't allow it. The man threatens my peace of mind. --So I'm going to kill him. Without hesitation.

...... So, before you start messing around, you say, 'Do it,'

Well, to put it bluntly, yes. One way or another, the city wants you back. This evening, the holy knights of the church and their merry band of friends are going to raid the castle to rescue you.

"The Church?

　The king has a dubious look on his face.

I don't know the circumstances. But I heard that he has fallen out with the princes, so if they come to power, we will be in serious danger. Hence the rescue plan. --So even if you plan to live your old life here, things will work and a raised fist (・・・・・・・・) will be pounded (・・・・・・・・). And there are few who can stop it.

　When I say this, he mutters grimly.

It's a good thing ...... that the parents have to clean up after their children's transgressions... ...

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world, and I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world.

...... All right. Can you get me out of here?

Thank you. ...... Oh, and of course, if you try to antagonize me, I'll kill you and anyone else who favors you, too. ...... You don't want her to be unhappy, do you?

　When I threatened to do so, the king - for some reason, a smile appeared on his face.

...... what.

"No, ...... there, I just thought it would be a normal person to threaten to kill my daughter.

"............

　I'm sure I'm wearing an indescribable expression on my face right now.

There's a funny play about how the daughter's hero is the demon king. Yes, I forgot to mention one thing. ...... Yes, I forgot to mention one thing.

An?

　Then the king who ruled the land - deeply.

　Very deeply. He bowed to me.



"Thank you for saving my daughter.



　The only thing that appeared on his face was his father's face.

......Hum, I just thought I'd see it. Let's just get going. We can't wait too long for reinforcements to arrive.



　Saying this, I twisted the iron bars of the prison to create a space for one person to pass through.

　At about the same time, the demon king's super hearing catches a faint noise coming from above.

　...... Have you found the fallen soldier?

　Oh well. The most important objective is secured and there is no need for secrecy anymore.

　I'll let you release your frustrations from here on out.

　Smiling behind the mask, I open the item box and take out my latest partner, Sinflame, from inside.

　A feeling of joy comes back from the sword as it is pulled out of the box. You're a company-spirited guy.

　...... No, is that it? Just happy to be able to suck the blood of the enemy? Hey, this guy hasn't changed much since the days of the cursed magic sword: .......

　...... Think of it as better, only that she no longer tries to draw others into the curse.

　It's a completely unrelated topic, but the current masks are not the ones that only show the mouth, but the ones that cover the entire face of the full face. I changed it before I infiltrated the castle.
　For some reason I like this mask better.

Can you walk?

Oh.

Then you can take the girl. I'll make the road for you.

　As I said this, the king slipped through the gap in the prison and quickly ran over to pick up his daughter.

There's not a scratch on her: ...... So, that was the elixir (・・・・・) that you were looking for: ......

"What? Elixir? No, it's just an advanced potion,

"?　So it would be the elixir, right? Nowadays, you may only find one in the city. ...... Thank you very much for using such a valuable item for my daughter. You'll get the thanks you deserve later.

　I couldn't help but feel a little shocked at those words.

　......, I see. The name "advanced potion" tricked me. It's not that I'm not a fan of this, but rather, because Rephi said, "You should always have that in your possession," as if it were a matter of course, I mistakenly thought that the combat professionals of the world had this as a normal part of their lives.

　I didn't know it was that expensive. No wonder it's so d*mn effective. No wonder.

　......, well, okay. As long as it's effective, we don't have to worry about it. As long as it's useful, I don't mind.

　...... but that's something. I think I'll refrain from using it outside the magical forest from now on.


　With a wry smile, I made such a strange decision, accompanied by the king with his daughter in my arms, and headed to the ground where the commotion was growing.
