239-238 Demon King mourns



 I emerged from the hole in the ground and returned to this world.

"Dariel!
"Mr. Dariel?

 Many people call out my name.

 I clung to the body of the Flame Demon Beast Salamandra, and when I was sure it was safe enough, I kicked the scales and flew, landing on the ground.

 Salamandra's guy appeared from inside it as soon as the Drismegian disappeared and tried to fly away from hell.
 That's how I got in on the flight.

 Thanks to that, I escaped from the collapsing hell without any effort.

'Mr. Dariel! Are you all right?
What do you think you're doing? "I will not jump into hell!
I knew that I would never see him alive again!

 Many people gathered around him and surrounded him.

 I seemed to have caused them much worry.
 When I think about it now, I realize that I did a horrible thing.

I'm sorry to have worried you. I'm sorry to have worried you, but this is the end of Drismegian. From now on, I will never again appear in this world and bother the living people.

 I went down to hell to do it, you know.

 How many times over the years has that walker brought mischief?

 He must have repeated this because of his own delusion.

 If someone doesn't put an end to it, it will happen again in a decade or a hundred years, unless he gives up the idea of overthrowing the Demon King.

 It's been a nuisance to the people of this world.
 That's why I made him disappear.

"Dear Mr. Alanziel, dear Mr. Grandfather. I have refused to do anything to stop worrying about posterity.

 I never fail to report to my two fathers.

'Yeah,'
Well done, Dariel....

 They took it with a wry smile.
 After all, it was reckless to the point that even the heroes were stunned.

 And one more.........

''Drismegian-kun has disappeared........!

 The demon king stood there and looked down at the ground.
 The surface of the ground where the pit of hell was once located. But with the complete disappearance of hell, its entrance and exit also disappeared and is now gone.

 It was quite remarkable, wasn't it?
 If I hadn't been caught by Salamandra jumping up, I would have been in trouble too.

"Drismegian-kun........has disappeared.......!

 The Demon Lord muttered that much repeatedly.

 What does the disappearance of that monster demon mean to that person?

 The man who persistently clung to the overthrowing Demon King while being d*mned to hell, and continued to wriggle for hundreds of years.
 His appearance was the same, but his spirit was even more monstrous.

 What would the Demon Lord feel about the disappearance of such a monster?

''Doris Megian-kun...! Drizmegian-kun aaaaaaahhh.......!

 That reaction was more than I expected.

 The Demon King-sama cried.

 On the contrary, he dropped large ragged tears, broke his knees and collapsed to the ground.

''Drismegian kuunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! I'm not going to die! I'm not going to disappear! Drismegian kunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!

 I roll on the ground as I spin around.
 I'm not going to be able to get it right. It's not a matter of whether or not the luxurious costume is stained, but like a spoiled child.

 I sprinkle wailing to the enemy to whom I have given my allegiance.

"Yada yada yada yada yada yada! Don't die! I want more of your cock! Doris-megian-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Sloppy, sloppy, sloppy! Bijyaaahhhhhh!

 I hit the ground with my hands and feet while crying and screaming. The impact was unexpectedly violent, and it rattled the surface of us surrounding it.
 The adventurers in Lax village who are watching from afar are surprised and many fall on their asses.

 I had to buckle down and hold on to the illusion of the ground wobbling, or else I'd fall over.

 ........no, is it actually shaking?
 He's shaking the ground with his pettiness and shaking the air with his cries!

'Piiyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! Zubeian! Mr. Megian! Dristmegian gububuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck! Come back to life! Come back to me!

 I never thought the Demon Lord would be so distraught over his disappearance!

 If we don't do something, the mere wailing of the Demon King's sorrow alone could destroy Lax's village!

 But how do we stop it?
 How could anyone advise the Witch King in that state?
 Lord Grandfather! Mr. Ida?

You are unsightly, little shit. Stop your disgusting crying.

 Then the long-awaited admonition is thrust in.

 But who is it!
 You're too frank, as expected, I'm afraid!

 I looked around to see whose rhetoric it was, but my gaze stopped at an unexpected place.
 A flaming dragon standing in the sky?

"Salamandre the Fiendish Beast?
"You always play such trivial games. "You always play mindlessly, exploiting the devotion of children and pushing them to their limits.

 That dragon could talk?
 It's just that it's never said a word before! But the other hexenbiest I met in human territory couldn't stop talking!

You are such a jerk. That's exactly why Hydra and Windora are so disgusted with you, of course I am. Of course I do.
"...that little Salamandra is so mean to me. It's very, very sad and you can't console me!
"They don't like you, they don't like you. They don't like you, they don't want to be nice to you.

 They are monsters that talk to the Demon King as equals.

 They are the beings that have been mentioned in legends, and they were originally created by the Demon King.

 So it's possible that they are acquaintances, but their conversation is too careless...?

'Isn't it true that Salamandra-chan is the one with a bad personality? You're the only hexenbiest who's ever pretended to be a magical, mind-altering creature. You pretended to be under a siege, and you tried to control your own mind by pretending to be an emissary, and it's poisoning your soul. You enjoy watching people get destroyed like this from the inside, don't you?
"The self-destruction of fools is an interesting spectacle. Consolation for the ennui of eternity.
So you're doing the same thing as me! So we're the same kind of guys, right? We're buddies!
Stop, I don't like it.

 The flame dragon undulated as it swam in the sky.

''But this time he was the worst. He surpassed my mental control with his obsession with you. It's a relief that I won't have to be bothered by him again. ........it's best that man and monster will never touch each other again.

 And then, little by little, he goes up into the sky, scratching the air.

I'm leaving. "I'm leaving, and if possible, I'd like to never see any of you here again. Tell your posterity about it. Tell your posterity that getting involved with our monsters is the first step to destruction.

 And the Flame Demon Beast Salamandra disappeared into the distant sky.

 I don't strongly want to see him again either.
 All I could do was pray that seeing that red giant body would be the last time in my life.

''.........Demon King-sama.

 I poured it out, too.

'The Drismegians are the scourge of the world. They are willing to destroy and slaughter for their own ends. He is an evil that the world should not have. So I have extinguished it.

 Thanks to the Flame Demon Beast's admonition, the Demon Lord had calmed down a lot.

 This was the only time he could explain himself.
 The Demon King seems quite heartbroken over the disappearance of Drismegian, or maybe he'll be killed out of spite....

''I know that the Demon King-sama is the ruler of this world and can act as he wishes. However, if one is also a person living in this world, it's only natural to remove the threat.
Yeah, I'm sorry.

 Demon King-sama, honest.

That's why you've put the world in a mewak, and it's not good that you didn't deal with it.

 He even said he was sorry for what he had done.

Actually, I sent Ida and I came out on my own because the damage was going to spread," he said. But now that I think about it, I should have been more thorough. I'm really sorry, I'm sorry.

 I couldn't say anything if the Demon King, the ruler of the world, who could destroy humanity in an instant if he felt like it, had been so auspicious to me.
 I'm a little confused as to how auspicious it really is.

''The Demon King didn't unleash a Drismegian... or rather an inferno in order to plunge the world into chaos, did he?''
Of course, I love all the people on this earth, all the living creatures on this earth, equally.

 It's kind of stinky.
 That has been the case for a long time now, but gradually the more we learn about this gentleman, the creepier it becomes.

''........May I ask you something?''
What's going on?
Why was Drismegian trying to take you down?

 The more I fought, the more I understood.
 That monster was obsessed with his goal of overthrowing the Demon King, but deep down, his respect for the Demon King was swirling around him.
 There may be no other person in the world as loyal to the Demon King as he is.

 He wanted to defeat the king of demons for the sake of no one but the king of demons.

Why did he act in such a refractive manner? If you have an answer, could you please let me know?
