　When the shuriken is placed in the Klein jar and the magic power is put into it, the atmosphere becomes mystical as usual.

　When the jar is covered with the divine power, a white smoke fills the jar.

　I thought I saw a silhouette in the smoke, but the silhouette disappeared in an instant.

　I looked and saw that the shadow had come around behind me and was holding a kunai around my neck.

　Eve sees this and tries to pull a dagger from her pocket, but the silhouetted man restrains her.

"...... you'd better not do that, girl. Move and your master's head will fall.

　Once she was told this, Eve could not move an inch.

　Eve was like a frog staring at a snake.

　Sweat beads on her calm forehead.

　I felt sorry for her, so I asked the man.

"Before you cut my head off, I'd like to ask you something..."

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

"What?　The Witch Queen.

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

"You seem to have the sense that I'm the Demon King and I summoned you."

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

"Yes."

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

"Then do you feel that I am your master?"

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

"Yes."

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

"Is it your style to point a kunai at the Lord?"

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

"Yeah."

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

　I thought of a joke that he likes you, but when I swallowed it down, I got to the heart of the matter.

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

"You are also a Hijikata Toshizo type, aren't you? I demand a certain amount of talent from a master who should be useful.

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

"I don't know who this Fujikata Toshizo is, but that's about it."

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

Then how can you be sure of my ability?

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

I'd like to ask you some questions.

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

Ask me anything. I'll even give you my measurements."

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

　But the man asks questions without expression.

I know most of you. When I was summoned to this world, a mysterious goddess, whose first name is "I," impregnated me with a kind of knowledge.

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

"...... that goddess?"

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

　I remember the goddess I met when I was born into this world.

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

"According to this information, you're a scheming demon king. Is it true that you are called the Demon King of the two sides of the coin?"

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

"I guess so."

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

　He affirms it as if it were a matter of course, even though half of the rumors are his own.

"Then, as a ninja, I am very interested in this king, and I would like to test whether you are really skilled in intrigue and intrigues, and whether you are really a good liar or a good liar.

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

"Sure, but how?"

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

"I have information from the goddess I just told you about. I want to see what you will do with this information and how you will settle the matter.

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

"Again, you seem to have a difficult problem."

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

"Ah, just the thing to test the king's mettle."

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

Very well. Then can you move the kunai out of the way so we can solve the problem?

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

I can't do that.

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

"What do you mean?"

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

"This is just another test to see if you are the right master. You'll get through it with flying colors.

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

"I see, I thought that's what you meant."

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

　Well, let's get through this," I said, flicking my finger lightly.

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

　Then the soldiers who had been waiting on the wall between the demon king and the wall come out.

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

　They were all armed with crossbows.

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

"So many! ......"

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

　A man is surprised.

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

"By the way, there is space everywhere in the King's Chamber for ambush. Dwarf Lord Godreve made it for me."

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

"Brilliant."

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

"Not only that, they had cast a spell of invisibility and positioned their soldiers in advance. By the way, their marksmanship is the best in our army. They can shoot a rat right between the eyes.

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

"That's the Demon King for you. But which is faster, my kunai or their arrows?

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

　The man put his kunai in his hand, but it didn't break my neck.

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

　I said calmly, "I'm not going to let that happen.

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

"I am still the Demon King, and I will not be killed instantly by a kunai. It will hurt, but in the meantime you will be hit by countless arrows. Now, which one of us will die first?"

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

　The man laughs to himself and retracts his kunai.

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

"...... You are indeed the king of intrigue. My bluff will not work.

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

"Mine's a bluff, too. I may be the Demon Lord, but I'm not a monster. If you cut off my head, I'll die.

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

I see. But you've got guts. From now on, you will go through a certain ordeal, and I will be your temporary master until it's over.

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

"I am honored. To have a skilled hand like yours under my command, even if only temporarily. And what is your name?

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

My name is Kotaro.

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

"Kotaro. That's a nice name, but is that all?"

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

　If that's all I knew, I didn't know which hero it was, so I asked.

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

　Kotaro did not seem to have any intention of hiding it from the beginning, and gladly told me.

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

"Fuuma. I am Fuuma. My name is Kotaro Fuuma.

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

　I was mildly surprised to hear that.

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

　I thought to myself, "This is quite a big name among ninjas.

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

　Fuuma no Kotaro is one of the biggest names among the ninja.

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

　The only person who can compare to him is <><><>>.

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

　I concluded my speech with the following words.

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

"It's fortuitous that I get to meet the famous Kotaro Fuuma. My name is Asito. I am the demon king Ashtaroth. I look forward to working with you in the future.

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

　When I said that, I thought I saw Kotaro grinning at me.

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

　But I could not read his expression because of his mask.
