Bashbarza, the Four Heavenly Kings' "Ayan Fire".

　He is one of the Four Heavenly Kings, the pinnacle of the Demon King's Army, and the eldest son of the previous Four Heavenly Kings, Mr. Granbaza.

　He was selected to be the Four Heavenly Kings with the highest bloodline and talent.
　It was called a ringing endorsement.

　When he first took office, the people around him had high expectations for Lord Bashbursa.

They thought, 'If he is Lord Grandfather's heir, he will be very brave and wise.

　He is the current Four Heavenly Kings, who have been rejuvenated from their predecessors.
　As the leader of the Four Heavenly Kings, he was in the spotlight and was supposed to be the most brilliant person in the world.

　Bashbursa-sama.

　That same person is nowhere to be seen in front of me anymore.

''Dariel.........Darieluuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

　The voice that barely chanted my name was as if the evil spirit was calling out to me, 'Come here.

' "........It's been a while, Dariel. Never thought I'd see your dead cockroach-like face again, did you?
I haven't seen you since I left the Demon King's Army.

　I used to serve under him as a soldier in the Demon King's army.

　His post was the Four Heavenly Kings' Assistant.

　My role was to support the four leading figures at the top of the Demon King's army from the closest point of view.

　But I was relieved of my position.
I'm not going to be able to get rid of my job, but rather I'm going to be expelled from the Demon King's Army itself, and I'm lost.

I still remember the look of pity on your face when I told you that you were fired, like an abandoned pig. I've never seen such an amused expression on your face. It makes me cringe every time I remember it!
It's done. What's more important than the past is how it is now.

　After being banished from the Demon King's army and wandering around, I arrived at the village of Lax, where I began my new life. Knowing my origins as a human, I began a new life.

　All my newfound wealth is my irreplaceable treasure.
　Thinking about the fact that I was able to meet these treasures, I felt grateful for my past exile from the Demon King's Army.

　On the other hand.
　The same time I was building up my new place, the Bashvaza-sama in front of me must have spent the same time in another place.

　I guess I couldn't call it a very fruitful time, but.......

''I heard that your position in the Demon King's army has deteriorated?''

　At that point, Lord Bashbursa's body began to tremble.
　I'm sure I'm right.

　I've been hearing rumors that Bashbursa's situation is not peaceful.

　I'm not going to be able to stop the invasion of the brave men and women, but the defection of the Mithril mine was a decisive blunder.
　It is said that this was an opportunity for him to take his position in the industry to deteriorate and his reputation is declining day by day.
　The person in question is also said to be unstoppable because he has not initiated any movement to regain his reputation.



　Lord Bashbaza raised a vindictive voice that seemed to echo from the depths of hell.

''Annoying!　Shut up, shut up, shut up!　Do you think that's a good sign?　Do you think your stupid boss who fired you deserves what's coming to him?
Everything has a karma effect. But firing me won't be strong enough to make your position worse. You're under pressure because...

　Because you screwed up.

Because you messed up.
Ugh!
"Observe and analyze things carefully, come up with an appropriate response, make a decision and carry it out. If you can do that, anyone can become the Four Heavenly Kings. You were unable to do so because you didn't have the ability to observe. It's because you didn't have the ability to analyze.

　I didn't have the knowledge and wisdom to come up with the right response, and I didn't have the determination or the ability to implement it.

'You didn't have everything. Those things can be summed up in one word: incompetence.
''Ugigigigig........?''

　Bashbaza-sama scratched his hair as if his emotions were running high.

　Although he was aware that he was using harsh words, nothing was meant to return the favor to the person who once kicked him out.

　No matter how troubled the child is, he is the son of his former boss and the person who has been most helpful to him.

　If possible, I hope he will recover.
　In order to do so, he must first face his own harsh reality.

'Dariel-san...!　Could it be that this guy...?
Yeah, he's Bashbarza, one of the four Heavenly Kings of our time, Bashbarza of Ayanagi, son of Lord Granberza.

　I provided the most important piece of information to Radey's question, which he didn't know what was going on.

'So this is the one who inherits the Grand Barza bloodline? A foolish one, not unlike his father.'

　It's the last generation of Alanziel to say so clearly.
　I'd appreciate it if you wouldn't speak too provocatively, she's a delicate child.

''........I understand how Granbaza, who raised Dariel so well, doesn't want to be proud of his achievements in raising people. I'm too embarrassed to brag about having such a defective biological child.
"Shut up and shut up!

　See, I had an outburst.
　My reprimand alone was already on the edge of my tolerance.

You with your knotty eyes don't understand!　I'm a hero!　He is a man who will go down in history!　No matter how far back you go!　And in the future, there's no better demon than me!
You have a big mouth on you.

　Mr. Alanziel spat out.

'I've seen many people as a brave man myself. Various enemies and allies. The most common of them were grandiose incompetents like you, who only talk the talk.
What the hell?
"He who can really do it, does not speak of it. Those who can do it, do it with their actions, not their words. Just like my own Dariel.
''Kiiiiiiiiiiiight!

　Please don't extinguish Bashbaza-sama's calmness any longer.
　I tried to control my emotions well and tell them off, but I can't do it anymore.

　It can't be helped, so I change the subject.

''Was that bakemono, it was your doing after all?

　He pointed with his gaze at the flame demon beast that was waiting behind him.

　The flame-clad dragon waited patiently in the sky above, as if waiting for an order from the Lord.
　It wasn't surprising, and it was easy to guess.
　It was because Granbaza-sama had already guessed that the one controlling that monster behind the scenes might be Bashbaza-sama.

''Granbaza-sama says that there is a forbidden curse that controls the monster beast and manipulates it at will. You used it, right?''
'Yes!　Because I'm a genius!　It's easy to use, even if it's forbidden!　You don't know how to measure up to ordinary people, do you?　That's why it doesn't matter if it's forbidden or not!

　It was the typical way of thinking of a guy who fails.
　Why do you think you're special in such an unwarranted way?

I don't think so. That bastard is definitely under the influence of the curse.

　This is how the extreme magic that imposes a special burden on the sorcerer is reduced.
　When they finally can't bear it and lose control, they spread the worst damage inexhaustibly.
　That is the forbidden curse.

'Please lift the forbidden curse now. If this is not done, you will definitely be killed by a demonic beast...!
Shut up!　How can you be advising me, you incompetent, useless lieutenant?　You don't need to underestimate me!　I know how to use a hexenbiest!

　I don't think that's even remotely possible, so I'm just advising you.

"I am a...　Use the flame monster Salamandra to get it all back!　The glory I was meant to have!　The accolades I was supposed to get!　The honor that was meant to be bestowed upon me!　I'll get it all back!

　Lord Bashbursa had lost his normal judgment even more than when he was once embittered.
　That was probably also a reaction to the act of trying to control the demonic beast.

''Kill the heroes!　Destroy the human race!　We must put an end to the war between man and demon!　And I will be the hero that people talk about forever!　.... and!

　The eyes of Bashbursa-sama's corpse-like eyes were turned towards me.
　.........Me?

"I have to do something before my heroic feats begin...!
What is it?
"Dariel, I will kill you!

　.........
　.........why?

Do you know whose fault it is that I have fallen into this kind of situation?　What?
?
It's you, Dariel!

　Slender fingers, like the bones of an uneaten bird, point at me.

'It's all your fault!　And the Mithril mine betrayed us!　That's what the Demon King scolded me for!　And that brave men don't die quietly!　And the fact that the other Four Heavenly Kings are completely useless!　And if my father doesn't approve of me, it's all because of you!　It's your fault!

　I can't help it.

So...　I'm going to kill you as a start to clear my name from now on!　And then I will kill the heroes and destroy the human race to become an unprecedented hero!
