　When I questioned him, he laughed.

"Well, I don't know about that, but a good ninja blends in instantly. They throw away their ninja costumes and dress like locals.

　Hanzo, who loves ninja costumes, might have been angry if he heard that, but thinking about it, he also disguises himself rarely, and I wonder if ninja are good at disguises.

"If you want, you can see me naked too. I've reproduced some of the things that are peculiar to women.

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

　For a moment, I was curious to see how much of the image was reproduced, but I stopped when Eve's temples twitched beside me.

　I asked her what was bothering her more.

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

"A boy?"

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

"Yes, a boy. You will have to choose whether or not to kill a certain boy. I will decide whether you are my master by watching your behavior.

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

"That's not good. I may be the Demon King, but I don't kill for nothing.

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

"Not in vain. The boy is a hero. And a brave one with a special effect against you, against Ashtaroth.

"What?

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

　It was not I who was surprised, but Eve.

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

I have no such information.

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

"It's not easy to get a hold of them, you know."

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

"But, so conveniently, such information is available at ......."

　I will conquer Eve.

"The goddess must have told him when she summoned Kotaro Fuuma. I wouldn't be surprised if a transcendent knew that much.

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

"You know what I'm talking about.

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

　Fuuma Kotaro smiles wryly.

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

"I understand what you're saying, but I don't understand what the goddess is trying to do. Why are you giving me this information?

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

"Perhaps he wants to see how good you are. He's with me. I wonder how the Demon King Asito will react when he finds out this information. I think he wants you to show your talents as a realist and an emergency man.

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

"It's easy to understand, but I'm not happy about it."

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

　d*mn that goddess, she treats people like toys.

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

　The reason why she brought me into this world was not good enough, and I wonder if she is not a goddess at all, but an evil goddess or something.

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

　Anyway, now that I had heard the word "hero," I had to get that information from him and deal with it. He asked Fuuma Kotaro.

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

"By the way, can you tell me where this brave man is?

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

"Sure. He is staying in a village south of the castle. For now.

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

How old is that thing?

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

Thirteen, soon to be fourteen.

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

　As I listen to the words of Kazama Kotaro, anxiety swirls in my heart.

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

　Could it be that the boy is him?

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

　Such doubts arise.

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

　The doubt turned into a certainty when Kotaro Fuuma read out the name of the boy.

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

"He was born in a mountain village called Risha. He seems to be living now as an adventurer. His name is Yuri, the boy who was with you a few days ago.

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

　Kotaro Kazama said expressionlessly, but at the end, I thought he laughed, "Hmmm... ......."

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

　He seems to be checking my expression.

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

　Well, what do I look like now?

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

　I was wondering, but I don't think I have a cheerful complexion.

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

　That much I could say with confidence.

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

　Then Kotaro Kazama leaves.

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

　He was now going to find out the exact whereabouts of a boy named Yuri.

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

　He vanished with a gust of wind.

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

　He told me to decide whether "Yuri the boy" or "Yuri the brave" would live or die by the time he returned.

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

　I am the Demon King, and Demon Kings and heroes are enemies, and there is a history of many Demon Kings being defeated by heroes.

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

　It is the world of other worlds, the world of games, the world of stories, and this world.

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

　It was natural for the Demon King to eliminate the heroes because they were harmful to him, but I was hesitating.

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

　Yuri was a boy I had met in a cave the other day.

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

　The boy with whom I had exchanged words and fought demons together.

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

　His innocent smile and the voice of the boy before it was replaced by his own replayed in my brain.

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

"...... am I going to kill him?"

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

　It was Eve who answered the question.

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

　She looked at me with sad eyes,

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

"That's how it is with the Demon Lord."

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

　He said.

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

"I know. No, I thought I knew."

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

　When I first met Eve, I told her to defeat the young heroes when she found them.

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

　I meant it at the time, but when the time comes, I can't say the same thing.

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

　And moreover, if I knew the boy's face, I would be even more conflicted.

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

　After a long pause of silence, Eve made her offer in a reserved manner.

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

"Is it possible for me to handle this whole matter?"

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

　She said that she would kill the brave man and get her hands dirty without consulting Hijikata, Jeanne, or Godreve.

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

　I appreciated her concern, but I could not bear to dirty her lily-white hands.

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

　And I had no choice but to take a day off and not make a decision at this point.

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

　I am a realist demon king.

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

　I will not turn away from reality.

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

　Just when I thought that, I heard a cat meow from somewhere.

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

　Somehow a cat had wandered into the summoning room.

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

　A goblin, my follower, comes up to me in a panic, saying, "I'm sorry, sir," but I control him.

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

　I pick up the stray cat and look into its eyes.

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

　Then I made a decision.

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

"...... This kitten is also a worthy inhabitant of the castle of Ashtaroth. I have a responsibility to protect them.

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

　Yes, yes.

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

　I have a responsibility.

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

　From the moment I became king of this castle, from the moment I was born into this world.

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

　I have a mission to protect the people who live in this castle and to bring peace to this world.

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

　If I show mercy to the boy and he is destroyed, I will not be able to fulfill those responsibilities. Worst of all, all the inhabitants will be out of the way.

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

　I cannot weigh one boy against all the inhabitants of the castle of Ashtaroth.

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

　Remembering this, I released the cat and went to the throne room.

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

　In later life, Eve recalls.

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

　She will never forget the majestic sight of the demon king Ashtaroth.

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

　She said that the figure of the Demon Lord with his sorrow on his back looked more powerful than anyone else.
