　Until I found out the identity of the army ants, I focused on the internal affairs of Ashtaroth Castle, but even after several weeks had passed, there was no report from Kotaro Fuuma.

　The fact that the capable Kotaro could not gather any information must mean that the enemy side is quite superior.

　Perhaps the enemy might have a capable military strategist.

"Hello, Asito, it's been a long time."

　She was as casual as if she were a relative's sister.

　She was munching on a piece of fried chicken.

"What's that?"

"This is your town's specialty, Nelsus Fried Chicken. Yum!　It's the best chicken I've ever tasted. But the flavor varies depending on the part of the chicken. But the dry breast meat is a disappointment.

　The goddess said nonchalantly "Hey, you should issue a ban on breast meat by your authority.

"Then what are you here for?

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

"Well, I'm here to warn you, of course.

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

I'm trying to live a good and righteous life, like a demon king.

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

I don't judge your way of life. I think it's great, so just go with it.

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

I will.

Lately, I've been watching you from above. You're the best way to pass the time."

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

　I don't know if I should say, "You're welcome.

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

　I'm not sure what to say, and then the goddess starts in on her business. Unusual, I thought.

"Actually, the reason I came to you is to save you from your predicament," she said.

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

I thought goddesses weren't supposed to interfere in the world below.

　Is it my imagination, or is it really against the rules of the heavenly world? Well, I'm not going to go into it too deeply, because if she's going to be pissed off, it's her.

"So here's my advice to you. You're fighting an army of ants right now.

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

Yeah, I'm working on it.

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

The army of ants has two heroes working for them, and they're very good, so be careful.

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

Two heroes. That's a problem.

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

You have five heroes under your command, but they may not all be able to assemble, and in some cases they may be overwhelmed by the other side.

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

"That's true. But what kind of heroes are going to attack us?"

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

"I suppose you could say that, but don't you think it's too cunning to be so blunt?"

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

I think so, but it would help us.

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

"Then I won't tell you. I mean, you'll find out soon enough anyway.

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

The heroes are staying in town now. They're old-fashioned and stylish. They want to see the other captain's face before the battle.

"You're as mischievous as a goddess."

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

Yes, they are. I think she's a bit like me.

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

Then you're a nasty guy, but you're a good guy at heart.

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

Maybe.

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

　The goddess smiles.

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

"Anyway, the demon king we're going to face this time is very powerful. You might lose, so be prepared for that.

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

"Yes, I always feel close to death."

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

　The goddess is moving away from me as I say this. Her voice is fading away.

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

"Oh, I guess it's time. I wanted to tell you more."

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

"We'll talk again sometime. If I'm still alive.

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

I'm sure we will. You're going to win this war, I know it.

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

How do you know?

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

Because you're the Demon King I chose.

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

What's the real reason?

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

　I thought he was a bad god, but he didn't say anything, instead thanking me.

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

"You didn't get to the heart of the matter, but I appreciate the valuable information. When I wake up in the morning, I'll look for this hero and try to contact him.

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

"That's good. It's our last chance to meet before the battle. Oh, and don't tell him I told you about the hero.

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

I'll think about it. By the way, I have one last thing to say to the goddess.

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

"What is it?　Are you confessing your love to me?"

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

"No. Goddess, you've got oil all over your mouth. You should wipe it off."

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

　The goddess was covered with grease from the Nelson's Fried Chicken she had just eaten.

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

　She wiped it off with a paper napkin and disappeared into the dimension, saying, "See you later!

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

　When I woke up in the morning, the goddess was naturally gone, but I felt the warmth of human skin in the hollow next to the bed.

　For a moment, I wondered if Jeanne had come in on her own again, but I was wrong. Jeanne would have stayed here until morning.

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

　I felt the presence of a goddess, but I did not think of her lovingly.

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

　The goddess with some charm is more like a sister than the opposite s*x.

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

　She seemed closer to me than Jeanne or Eve.

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

　--But if she really were my sister, it would be a noisy life.

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

　As I was summarizing last night's encounter in this way, a knock on the door!　Eve knocks. It seems she has arrived with tea and breakfast on a silver wagon.

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

　I greeted the beautiful maid in the morning and told her that I would cancel my plans for the day.

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

　Eve is surprised for a moment, but does not refuse.

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

"I have a friend coming from far away today. I want to discuss military strategy with him.

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