It's outside.

"It's outside, Demon Lord!

　A slightly chilly wind enveloped Aria and Rose's bodies.
　It's impossible to use Aria's ability in this unenclosed land.

　But still...
　The difference in strength between the demons and Aria will never be equal.

　In fact, as soon as Aria and Rose came out of the entrance, the demons in front of them began to run away.

　The demons that ran away would never come near this area again.
　Neither of them would bother to chase after them, because they knew it would be futile.

　What they are looking for now is a demon with some strength that does not seem to be upset at all.

"What do you think, Demon Lord, are there any demons that are just right?

"...... Hmm... It's almost gone. I don't think we can even try to slay it with this one.

That's a problem.　I'm sure they're nocturnal, so they'll be slow to move, but let's poke around in the hexenbiest's nest!

　In the situation where he couldn't find an opponent, Rosé suggested that he try to force an opponent.
　If you think about it, there is a good chance that the strongest monsters are currently sleeping.

　Even if they are not in the best condition, they should be able to be a test opponent.

　If Licht had been here, he would have stopped it with a disgusted look on his face.
　But there was no stopper here.

　It was the only way - Aria agreed.

"Good idea, Rose. You did it.

"Heh.

　Aria decided to adopt Roze's idea, and searched for a suitable nest where the hexenbiest could live.
　Fortunately, there are many caves in the area, so we can expect both quantity and quality.

　Roze had already released the bats and started to explore.


Oh, there they are!　They're in the cave over there, Demon Lord!

　After a few moments, Rose saw a reaction from one of the caves.
　It's not as wide and powerful a walk as Dorothy's, but it's still more than enough.

　Aria, who trusts Rosé to do everything for her, walks safely behind her this time as well.

You can't use the Demon Lord's "Space Control" even if you're in a cave, right?　I don't think we'll need it, but since we're in hostile territory, we'll just use .......

That's right. If you completely block the entrance, you can use it, but you don't have to go that far.

So, right?

......?　What's the matter?　Why are you looking so anxious? I didn't understand your question.

　Aria noticed something strange.
　I don't see why Roze would go to the trouble of asking such a question.

　She could feel a bit of impatience compared to the usual Rosé.

"Actually--

　He showed a hesitant expression for a moment, wondering if he should tell Aria, but in the end he reported what had happened as it was.

The bats that went into the cave were wiped out. ......
