A brave man and the Four Heavenly Kings.

　The two are in conflict.

　The result of the encounter between the two leads to a battle.

　It was clearer than the fire.

''You are?　The Four Heavenly Kings, Zeviantes?　Why are you here!''

　The brave Radie naturally swallowed the situation and reacted violently.

　In contrast, Zeviantes'........

''Ahh~...?''

　Something about the itchy look on his face, as if he was trying to find a memory clue.......

''........''

　....?

Oka-sa-sa, please hurry up and feed me.
Don't give up on remembering.

　I mean, why can't I remember?

You're a brave man!　The four heavenly kings are the ones who should be eliminated first!　How could you forget your face?

　I'm so sad that I pointed it out to you!
　I should really be hiding it.

'Oh my God, he's a brave man!　Jungle man!　I must have forgotten all about it!

　So I finally identified the person I was facing...

"Well, let's have dinner...
"Is that all you have to do?

　We have a mission!　Her mission as the Fourth Heavenly King of the Demon King's Army!
　So light in her mind!

"Dariel...?　Why are you so close to the Fourth Heavenly King?　What's his connection to you...?
Does this look like a friendly relationship?

　And the brave man, Radie, also witnessed the exchange and looked at me with suspicion.
　This is not good.

I'm sure there's a lot to talk about, but...

　Then my wife descends to the table.
　I put a pot of stew on the table.

Let's not fight in the house. Let's follow the rules, okay?
''Yes!''

　Not only Zebiantes, but even Radie was blubbering and in absolute obedience.
　Mareeka is really strong.

◆

I'll just tell you the whole story...

　I can't keep this from him any longer, so I'll explain everything honestly.

　I'll explain everything honestly.

　A brave man standing in the most glorious realm of the world, or the Four Heavenly Kings.

"A human born and raised among demons...?

　The serious Radie had the expected reaction, or rather, was deeply shocked.

''Oh no, you didn't realize that on the way...?
''Fortunately or unfortunately, not at all. The only thing that was strange was that I couldn't use magic, but that was also dismissed as incompetence...!

　It wasn't until I arrived at the Lux village that I realized I was actually a human race.

''I didn't know there was a human being with such a strange destiny...!　Too much, too much...!

　Radey looked bewildered and devastated as if it was his own business.
　........But.
　I'm in trouble if I'm even more shocked than I was when I found out the truth myself.

''Did Marika-san know about it?
'Yes, when we got married, he told me all about it, saying, 'I want no hidden things in my family.'

　The two of them, Marika and Satome, are sitting around the dinner table talking.

　As she said, I've already told Marika and her father-in-law and mother-in-law, who have already become my family, about my upbringing.

　The reason is because, as she already told me, I don't want to hide anything from my family.

　There is no bond that can be built without saying something important.
　On the other hand, there are some bonds that would be destroyed if the fact that they were hidden is revealed, but Malika's family still accepted me as a former member of the Demon King's Army regardless of the fact that I was a former member of their family.

　I've found a really good family.

"The stew is so good! I need another bowl of stew!
You should comment something too!

　And Zebiantes.

　She didn't even listen to me, let alone have an opinion on my half of life.
　She just raved about the stew that Marika had made.

　It's true.
　My wife's stew is excellent, isn't it?

　But now listen to me!

　By the way, Marika's parents, who are in Alexandria, were also present at the dining table, but they could not comment on it and only smiled.
　My son, Gran, is slurping away at his own private meal (tits) just now.

'Don't you have a few thoughts?　You're the only ones who fired me, aren't you?

　Only the Four Heavenly Kings have the authority to fire me, who was the assistant to the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army.
　It may be past time, but this was a good opportunity to speak frankly.

"Why did you fire me?
"He doesn't know.
Connoisseurs!

　It was such a throwaway answer that everyone around me was also surprised.

You can't blame them. It was Bashbursa who wanted to fire you on the spot.

　It was a semi-predictable answer, but it stung when I was told again.
　A giggle in my chest.

"No, really, I was in such a state of momentum that I was seriously surprised. If I couldn't sack you, I would disband the Four Heavenly Kings.
That's it!
At first that Droyer guy was reasonably opposed to it, but when Bezelia joined Bashvaza, he became weak. That's why he's been pushed out.

　Did you have to fight against that in the Four Heavenly Kings to get me fired...?

　What are you doing?
　There would be more subjects for the head of the Demon Lord's Army to argue with each other more contentiously.

''By the way, what did you yourself do when you were not involved in any of those arguments?
He's not interested, so he's been keeping a low profile.
Son of a b*tc*!
That's a delicious second helping of stew.

　You didn't care that much about me, but when you fired me, you cursed me out so badly that time!
　And how many more stews are you going to get!

''........then you'll be back in the Demon King's army?
What?

　He suddenly says something unexpected.

'Things have changed since then. After all the failures, Bashvaza has lost his position and his voice has been weakened. Instead, Droyer is on the rise.

　Ha, such a shift in power.....

"Dolorier says we should bring you back. I think he's looking for you. If you're willing, I can help you find your way around...?

　It was a surprising offer.
　I can return to the Demon King's Army once more. To the position of Assistant to the Fourth Heavenly King.

　I used to think it was my calling, and I never doubted that I would continue in this job for the rest of my life....

''No thanks.''

　I answered immediately.

'A year ago I would have been happy to take it. Now I have something I've built up in my own way. I can't just throw that away and go back to the past.

　His position in the village of Lax and the family he has gained.
　How could I abandon them now?

You!

　Hearing this, Marika hugged me.

'I knew you would say that!　I love you!　Let's make a third one!
And we haven't even made a second baby yet!

　Well, it's not polite to act rough at the dinner table.
　People will be watching!

It's a brilliant answer!

　He was praised by Zebiantes even though the proposal was kicked down.

'The person I've been mocking so much is not going to lick my ass and say, 'Things have changed, let's make up for it!　I believed that you would openly splash out on me!

　Even if that's true, I don't want you to be the only one to say that.

''That's why...!

　My eyes shifted to Radey.
　She wants me to join the party.

'I can't accept your offer either. I know we have our differences, but there was a time when I was one of the demons.

　Even if I found out later that we were of a different race, I couldn't easily turn against them.
　The more I revealed everything, the more I was able to honestly express my feelings.

　Now I can convince her fully.

''........I understand.''

　As I expected, Radey pulled back.

'Dariel, your situation is too complicated. I and others cannot be very conscientious. I cannot push it aside and force Mr. Dariel to make a decision. Let's just shelve this matter.

　Not to sound like you're on hold, but just give it up, okay?

Would you like to deal with the other problem instead?
The other one?

　Saying that, the opponent that Radie glared at was Zebiantes.

''With the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Race in front of me, I can't afford to do nothing. I will apply for a fair fight against her.''
