　One day, while I was doing other domestic work, and working hard for the development of Ashtaroth Castle, I hear a knocking at my office door.

　It is not Eve banging on the door.

　However, this office is not allowed to be entered by anyone other than Eve without permission.

　I look at the longsword by my desk and give my permission to enter.

　An unexpected person enters the room.

　Or rather, a stranger.

　She had brown skin and was dressed in what could easily be mistaken for underwear.

"Is this the room of someone named Asito?

I said, "Yes, it is.

"I was thinking what if the person I was going to marry was a scary-looking demon.

"I'm a demon..."

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

I'm a demon.　Really?　But you look like a human.

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

I get that a lot.

　Hijikata Toshizo used to tease me that I didn't look like a demon king unless I wore a black shirt and a cloak.

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

　I remembered that, but now I wondered what this young lady was doing here.

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

"Yes, actually, Hijikata-sama asked me to come here.

By Toshizo?

Yes. He gave me some money and told me to release him.

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

　Oh, Toshizo. He always says that if he's the Demon Lord, he should at least play with women, but I never thought he'd resort to this.

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

　But still, she is a beautiful girl.

　Well proportioned body.

　Her brown skin was beautiful, like a doll made of melted black crystal.

　If I were not the king of intrigue, I would have taken him to my bedroom and hanged him there.

　This is just testing me, and I don't think he's going to take my life.

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

　I call out his name.

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

"Kotaro the wind demon! It's all right for you to test me every time, but please don't play these tricks on me. I can't have Eve or Jeanne witnessing this."

　Hearing those words, the brown woman laughs, "Hmmm... ......."

"That's the Demon King. Have you found out who I really am?

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

"We've been keeping a tight rein on you, you know. You're the only one who can break through easily. It's a process of elimination.

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

I think they're paying too much for you.

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

Yes, I consider you a hero worth more than an equal amount of gold.

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

That's a waste of words. But I've always wondered why you don't attract women. Are you satisfied with just two women, Eve and Jeanne?"

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

"Don't think of me as a king with a desire for a harem.

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

I've heard that a demon king gathers beautiful women to show his power.

If I had that kind of money I'd expand my forces.

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

I see. Well, I can transform myself into any woman I want. If you ever have a night of anguish... call on me.

You're a man, aren't you?

Did you check it out by groping between my legs?

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

　you can only be silent.

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

　The only way to be sure would be to really touch them, but it would be troublesome if Eve or Jeanne saw me, so I'll cut to the chase.

"I know that Kotaro the Wind Fiend is a prankster, but I don't think he would come here for no reason. Did you get anything out of it?

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

You're my master, aren't you? That's right. I've learned more about Zagamu the Witch King.

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

That's very good of you. Will you tell me?

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

In bed.

　The brown beauty smiled seductively, but it was only just as Eve came in with a cup of tea.

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

　She was surprised by the intrusion of the unfamiliar beauty. She tries to take a dagger from her pocket, but puts it away when I tell her that I am Kotaro.

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

　She does not put away her hostility, though.

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

　Eve seems to think that Kotaro is a woman, and she recognizes him as an infidel who is trying to seduce me.

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

　Kotaro was such a monster that even women thought he was a woman.

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

　By the way, Hijikata Toshizo seemed to be good at both, and jokingly said that he would like to be my partner someday.

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

　Now, I am off topic, but let me get some information from Kotaro.

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

"The demon king Zagam is one of the demon kings who reside in the region south of here. It borders the territory of the recently defeated Dekarabia. His power is almost equal to that of Dekarabia.

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

"Then, now that you've absorbed DeKalabia's territory, am I better?"

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

"Perhaps. But the Ashtaroth army is a new force that has only recently begun to emerge. The ground is still loose. It's best to consider them an even match."

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

"I suppose so. Pride is the path to ruin.

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

Zagam, the Demon King, is normally a human but in his true form he's a bull with gryphon wings.

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

He's a non-human too?

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

He's usually human. If you corner him, he will reveal his true form.

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

Then I'll hunt him down and cut him into pieces. A cow would be delicious.

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

"Jeanne would love that."

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

　Kotaro replies to my joke with a joke.

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

　I laugh lightly, out of courtesy,

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

"So you have information about the memento that DeCarabia sent to Zagamu?"

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

　I asked him.

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

　Kotaro shook his head slowly.

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

"This information is essential. Without this information, the Demon Lord Asito would be defeated," said Komei anxiously, "I looked through all the documents in the castle to find out what was missing from the castle. And Komei found it in only three days.

　That's what Kongming is all about, isn't it?

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

　He is making full use of his speed-reading skills.

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

　No, it would have been difficult to find it in just three days.

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

　Maybe that's how much he felt the danger of the legacy left by DeCarabia.

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

　I was the same way.

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

　I do not fear the deformity of Zagamu.

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

　I do not fear the strength of Zagamu. I respect its wisdom and valor, but I do not overestimate them.

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

　What I fear is the persistence of De Carabia, the demon king who is already dead.

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

　He was the most persistent and troublesome demon king I have ever met.

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

　The legacy left behind by such a man must be extraordinary.

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

　That's what I predicted, and my prediction turned out to be right on the money.
