The brave Radey returned home, dizzy.

　He was tired, but it wasn't fatigue from training.
　It was fatigue from dealing with people.

　It could be said that he stayed in one place too long. It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends and family.

　I've been dealing with such visitors lately, and I haven't made any progress in my training.

　I've heard beforehand that this is the duty of a brave man, so I couldn't do it without a fight, and I lost the day with a handshake.

''I guess I stayed too long after all...?''

　Radey did not feel good about this kind of welcome to the brave man.
　In fact, he should feel good about it, and some of the brave men of the past would have been willing to receive a welcome.

　But for Radie personally, it didn't seem to be in the realm of the brave, and the previous brave Arantzill had been the same.

　So she would rather hide her bravery unless she had to, and she always tried to avoid staying in one place as much as possible to avoid attracting the attention of others.

　This is the first time in this Lux village that she has been in the same place for more than a few months.

　It was all about learning the inner workings of aura combat from Dariel, but Radie was frustrated that she wasn't doing so well.

　It's not that she's struggling to grow up herself.
　She is confident that Dariel's guidance is appropriate and that she is much more improved than she was before her stay in Lux Village.

　But more than that, she doesn't think she can catch up to Dariel, no matter how strong she becomes.

　The brave man was supposed to represent the human race and be the strongest human race.
　Radie was chosen for that, and even if she ran to her death, she would have an opponent who couldn't see her back.

　It was also a question of her significance as a brave person.

''Haha, the alcohol is so good...!

　There was only one person in the living room that I entered first when I got home.

　One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King's Army, 'Huafu' Zebiantes.
　Normally, he is the arch-enemy of the brave. She is supposed to be the biggest obstacle standing in the way of defeating the Demon King.

　The fact that two such sworn enemies meet in one room is itself an unprecedented rarity.

　The two of them sleep in the home of the village chief of Lax Village, and it can be said that this is due to the oddities in the life of Dariel, who is now the landlord of the village.

''You're always so easygoing, aren't you...!

　He sighed to his nemesis, "I'm busy training and dealing with people.

"I'm busy training and dealing with people, and you're drinking from morning till night...!　The other four heavenly kings are struggling.
''As long as the brave Anta is here, the Four Heavenly Kings will be safe and sound in their spare time. Ah, what an easy job!''

　It was Radey who was too right to say anything.

　The mission of the Four Heavenly Kings is to stop the brave men who are going to defeat the Demon King. So if the brave men who mattered weren't attacking us, there would be no position as bored as this one.

''........give me a drink too.''
Cheers to that.

　Radie accepted the wine offered by the Zebiantes and said, "This is the first class wine of the demon territory.

"It's the best wine in the demon territory! "It's top-notch wine for the demon territory.
It's d*mn good.

　The alcoholic beverage that was exclusively drunk in the human territory was beer made from wheat, and the rich sweetness of the fruit was rare.
　By the way, Zeviantes is also fond of the beer made by the human tribe, and it's one of the reasons why he's been in the Lux village.

It's all thanks to you that I'm having fun every day! If you want, you can practice here all the time.
Don't be silly. I will be as strong as Dariel in the end. That's when the Four Heavenly Kings will come crashing down. Prepare yourself!
That's never going to happen.

　Radie frowns at Zeviantes, who assures him, though in a light tone, that he's not going to be able to be as strong as Dariel.

"It's absolutely impossible for me to be as strong as Dariel. The strength of the man has become more and more of a monster lately.

　It was hard for Radey to admit that it was true at the same time as he was told.

''Hey, what was Dariel-san like when she was with you guys?''
'What?　What are you asking me all of a sudden?
'........That's fine. If you drink in silence, the alcohol won't taste as good. Talking is an essential part of the drinking game!
I can see why. All right, we'll give you a ride.

　What was Dariel during his time in the Demon King's Army?

He was no big deal. No one thought of you because you couldn't do magic, and you were completely out of sight.
It's a horrible thing to say.

　It was unimaginable how badly Dariel had been treated now, but that might be unavoidable considering his half life.
　Because Dariel had developed his talent only after returning to his original race.

''Radie-chan, you mean...''
"Hmm?
You like Dariel?

　Radey sobbed at the question, "What's the matter with you?
　She coughed as the wine she was about to drink entered her windpipe with great success, and coughed so hard that red fluid popped out of her nose.

What an obvious reaction.
You idiot!　What kind of a question is that, out of the blue?　You like Dariel, you like her...?

　Radie poured another glass of wine into the cup and drank it down, as if to hide her confusion.

'Mr. Dariel is a wonderful man!　I'm strong!　He's a great personality and impeccable!　I truly admire you as a person!

　Then he pours another drink and drinks it down.

'Isn't your pace a little too fast...?
For one thing, Dariel is already in love with Marika!　There aren't many couples that are that well-matched for each other!

　The Zebiantes were rather uncomfortable with the pace at which Radie was drinking, too fast.

''It's a good wine and I don't want you to drink it in a mess...?
'I'm listening! 　So you can't break up a happy family!　So if they're happy, what's my beef with them?
''It's becoming more and more of an excuse...?

　Zebiantes, on the other hand, tried to soothe Radie...

"Calm down. You have a point, but you don't have to be so stubborn about it.
"Huh?
You don't have to have more than one wife.
''Buh-ohh!''

　At Zeviantes' outlandish assertions, Radie this time erupted before he could sob.
　The wine sprayed from Radie's mouth hits Zebiantes in the face.

''Giaaaaah!　In the face?　The wine was sprayed on my good looks!
It's because you speak out of turn, isn't it?　How dare you?　How dare you?　How vulgar!

　Polygamy.
　That's exactly what Zeviantes was talking about, but the still dainty Radie couldn't accept it at all.

''Was it an institution that the human race didn't have?　Though I would have thought it was common for both races to be somewhat upper class?
''No, I heard there are some on the human side as well, but...?

　It was indeed Radey who had heard that a person of some ability would have two or more wives.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work.

''But it's still filthy...!　One man, married to more than one woman...?
Then perhaps I could be Dariel's second wife.
What?

　The proposal is even more outrageous and confusing to Radie.
　The fact that I can't think straight is probably due to the effects of the liquor cup I just emptied continuously.
　The sensation of my brain spinning.

I'm beginning to find him attractive. "I'm beginning to find him attractive," he said, "and if I take advantage of his wise counsel, I can play an active role on the battlefield and be praised by everyone, and as a reward I can be set free.
But you're not a demon.　Are humans and demons allowed to marry?
Hmm, that's one way of looking at it...

　Zebiantes pretended to be a little thoughtful........
　In fact, I'm pretty sure he's not thinking about anything........

''Then you must play your hand with your mistress!
"Aaaaah!
"Aaaaah!　I got sprayed in the face again!

　It was Radie who just kept spewing out.

'You're always saying weird things, but today it's extra special!　"You're too drunk to drink wine, aren't you!
Isn't that what you said?　It's just a quick wine, so don't just spew it out!

　So, here's the story of the mistress.

I'm a person who wants to be free until I die. I don't want you to marry and be in bondage. In that case, it's better to just have a casual relationship with a mistress and respect each other's freedom.
Why should I fall in love with you?
Freedom is the most important thing, but I also want love and I want to have children.

　Radie is tongue-tied at the unimaginable freedom of Zebiantes.
　In a way, I felt more horrible about her than I did when I first encountered her as an enemy.

　Or if I was this free too, I wouldn't have to worry about it.......

''........Ugh.

　Radey blew out the emotions that were almost running ahead of him.
　All that was left was smoke.

'This is getting seriously drunk, let's bathe and go to bed.
'Ah!　I'm going too!　I can't sleep at this rate because I'm sticky all over my face!

　Thus they both went to bathe in good company and went to bed that night.
