"Hey, you mask!　Hey, wait a minute!

　Diablo, the head of the Viscounts of the Magician Nation, shouts to stall the masked boy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　His actions startle his colleagues, the young elites of the Demon Race, who open their eyes.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They are puzzled by Diablo's unintelligible behavior in suddenly calling out for the masked boy.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Diablo pays no attention to the surprise of his colleagues and stares intently at the boy with black hair, a hooded traveling cloak, and a clown's mask.

(Yes, this habit is just like the one Mee saw in the old days when he was escorting a woman to the door and he didn't know how to open it.)

　He was confident in his memory and clearly remembered the "Gathering of Tribes" days.

During the "Gathering of the Tribes," Diablo had corrected Light's door opening when he had taught him manners, because it was not smart.

　He remembered that it was easier than expected for him to learn table manners, but for some reason, he could not easily correct his habit of opening the door.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There was a human boy right in front of him who had the same habit that he had had a hard time correcting.

　Moreover, he has the same black hair and height as the light I killed about three years ago.

（How could I be so stupid?　Nonsense!　Ridiculous!　It's impossible!　The human (inferior species) Light must have died in the Abyss!　There's no way he's alive!)

Diablo's mind is filled with doubts about the "but.

　About three years ago, it was decided that Wright would be killed in the "Abyss," and he fell over after Sasha shot him in the leg. As he crawled away, he triggered a shifting formation and disappeared somewhere inside the dungeon.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After Wright disappeared, Diablo and his team explored the interior of the "Abyss" to their limits, but were unable to find him.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　As a result, they concluded, "No human can survive in the Abyss with injuries. The monsters would have killed him. Therefore, Wright died," he reported to his superiors.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The top management agreed with the report, and each former member of the "Gathering of Tribes" was given a reward.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The reward was given because Wright had died - if he had lived, it would naturally be revoked. Rather, it is more likely that he would have been severely punished for making a false report. If that were to happen, the position he had gained within the demon race would naturally disappear.

(If, unluckily, Wright had survived in the "abyss," Mee would be finished. ......!)

　His serpentine eyes widen to their limit, and he becomes frustrated.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The masked boy who called out to you slowly turns around.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He tilts his head slightly and lets out a muffled sound due to the mask.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Can I help you?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It sounds different from the light's voice that I remember from the past. ......

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Since it is muffled through the mask, it is impossible to make a premature judgment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

What is your name?　Oh, and take off that mask and reveal your true face!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Oh, uh, has my escort, Mr. Dirk, done something wrong?　If so, as your employer, I apologize. So please forgive me.

　Lilith, surprised, intervenes and defends Wright.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She is aware of the feud between Wright and Diablo, but since she has not heard that Wright will reveal his true identity here, she is trying to intervene and protect him as an employer.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Diablo swallows his voice at Lilith's appearance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even though the other party is a human (an inferior species) whom he looks down upon, he is royalty.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It would be a stain on Diablo if he emotionally eliminated Lilith in front of his rivals, his colleagues.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　There is no reason to go out of his way to provide him with material to drag himself down in front of his rivals.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He takes one light breath to compose himself.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

He takes a quick breath. "At the ...... Six Principality Conference, the heads of the countries are currently gathered. If there is a person wearing a suspicious mask among them, it is natural for me to want to confirm his or her identity.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Then don't worry. As I told you earlier, they are a party of A-class "black clowns" recognized by the Adventurers' Guild. They are not suspicious people.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I can't back down from Lilith's words, saying, 'Yes, I see.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Diablo stepped in.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't mean to be suspicious of the Adventurers' Guild or the princess, but just to be sure, may I see your face?　It's just a precaution, and if you don't have anything to be guilty about, you can take off your mask, right?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

...... of course I don't mind."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The masked boy tells him, stroking his mask as if he is reluctant to say anything.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I was badly burned in a fire, so I hide my face with a mask. To be honest, it's not something I would show to people, but is that okay?　It's a little irritating for the intolerant to see. ......"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I don't mind. I have been through a lot in the past, so I have a high tolerance.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Diablo hangs up his scythe, but because he is wearing a mask, his expression is unreadable, and his demeanor is natural and unsuspicious.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　At Diablo's words, the other demoniacs, including Fried, are musical as they take off their masks.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It seems that Dirk's comment, 'It's a bit stimulating for those who don't have a tolerance to see it,' has become a provocation for these young people to test their mettle.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Contrary to Diablo's desperation, he encourages Dirk to take off his mask as a kind of entertainment.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The atmosphere was such that Dirk could not refuse to take off his mask if they made such a fuss.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

I understand. It's going to be really bad, so be prepared, okay?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

Excuse me, Princess."

　Fake Yume stands in front of Lilith to block her view.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　She shielded her eyes with her hands because she was not tall enough to hide them with her body.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　After Dirk confirms this, he extends his hands to the mask.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'......!

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The younger members of the magical race, who were amused by the music, gulped.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Some of them are so pale that they look as if they are about to collapse.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Seeing them, Gold inwardly mocked their weakness, saying, "These are the elites, aren't they too bean sprouted?

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Even Diablo, who is a former adventurer and has a tolerance for grotesqueries, found Dirk's burns to be so severe that he turned his gaze away.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It is a rather pitiful thing to accuse these young greenhouse-raised boys.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　--In fact, Dirk's face is not even scratched by the burns, which were created by the power and illusion of the "SSR, Mask of the Clown.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Dirk puts the mask back on, as if to say, 'That's enough.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

'...... I beg your pardon for showing you something so unappealing, even if you wanted it. Well then, we are done with this. Princess."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Dirk bows in an adult manner and urges Lilith to leave the conference hall.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The younger members of the magical race, who had not recovered from the shock of their burns, looked away from Dirk and the others, unable to stop them.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Only Diablo was moving his head and thinking.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(I couldn't make out his face because of the burns, but that was a different person, wasn't it?　But if those burns were the price for escaping the Abyss alive, then...)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It took a few more moments for the young demons, including Diablo, to start moving properly.
