My boy had gained some awesome friends.

　After the two of them played a game of chamberlain and struck each other a few times, the dust rose and the air swirled, turning it into a kind of shura.

　Each time the wooden swords clashed, they made a sound like the screams of wild beasts.

''Nyanda-ba!''
I'd rather have a cat than a dog.

　But only the call was distracting.

　Eventually...........

''Ah!　It's lunchtime!

　Gran was the first to stop the wooden sword he was wielding.

''Lunch!　Oh, I'm starving!　Hal, I'm going home!　Let's play again after lunch!
Yeah, okay, I'll see you this afternoon!
"Go-go this afternoon!

　Saying that, Gran ran away from the path he had come from.

　.........
　Eh?　Noon?

　Then the children's play (?) I've been here all morning watching this?
　Even though the kids were playing chanbara at an unimaginably high level, I was still watching them lose track of time.
　.....
　Well, you can apologize to Droyer later.

　More importantly, right now, it's that kid.
　It's just as well, or rather, that kid is all alone because Gran went home for lunch.

　I thought he was going to go back to his house for lunch, but he doesn't seem to be doing that and is just standing there.

　This is all the more suspicious.
　I decided that now would be the time to take action, so I stepped out of the shadows.

"Hey, boy, you got a minute?
Oh, you're a pervert.
No!

　Well, talking to a strange child in the daylight is an obvious case, but it's not a problem for me!

　Village chief and father of three (soon to be four) children!　You've got to have social standing and credibility!

"I just wanted to say 'thank you' for being so close to my boy. And I also wanted to know what your intentions were.
What are you talking about?　Hmmm, he's Grandpa Gran's father. They're very much alike, just because they're father and son.

　Ha-ha-ha, good boy.

Where do you live?　Are they coming to visit from afar?
It's that way.

　The boy was pointing in a different direction.
　There's a residential area over there, so well, it's not that strange.

What does your mother and father do?　Would you like to say hello to the parents of my children if you'd like?
I'm very busy.

　I think I'm starting to feel like a real pervert.
　I don't care about my mental health any more, so let's get to the heart of the matter.

Have I said enough?　Is it time for you to reveal yourself?
I have no idea what you're talking about.

　Hey, now.
　That's a bit of a mouthful.

　As far as I know, there's only one person who uses the bizarre first person.

　So, come to your senses.

Well, I guess it's all right. Daryl, you're just too persistent.

　

　This boy's mood had clearly changed.

　It became sharper, louder, more overwhelming, and somewhat more familiar........

'At one time he was a monk with a reputation in the neighborhood. One time he was the neighborhood monk, another time he was the god of war, revered by the human race, and another time he was the demon king. At other times, he's a demon king. But is he really...?

　The child's appearance was not particularly different.

The one who rules this world, is the Lord God, Ojin!
You're not gonna change?
Well, I can change into any form I want. I'm not sure what my true form is. I'm not going to be able to tell you what to do, but I'll tell you what to do.

　Yes.
　The new friend that my son Gran had made was.....

　...is the Demon King!

Why is that?
What's wrong with you, why do you yell out?

　No, I need to raise one of my screams here or the story will be too far-fetched to fit in.

　The Demon King who makes friends with my kid.
　What in the world is that?

How did you manage to figure out who I am, Dariel?　Where the hell did they find out?
What's that..., a child fighting a horrific battle like that...?

　It would be weird not to think it's weird, right?

'What?　Still, didn't you think of a kid with a bit of uncommon brilliance who would eventually become a hero?
I already have my boy.

　There was no way that Kirin children could be born in such a small area.

And then there's the crucial thing. It's your aura.
....
'You're going a little too fast, even if it is to attend to my son who has already released his aura abilities. You are the master of this world. Your magic and aura are nothing more than what you have given to the people.

　That's why the Demon King himself would not be able to use either aura or magic.
　It's only adjusted to fit a person. It's not the power inspired by a ruler who is a completely different species from a person.

But since the source of all power is you, you can use your aura or magic-like powers. A higher power..........

　When you were flirting with Gran earlier, you adjusted that power and disguised it as an extremely aura-like power.

I'm sure you'll find that the quality of the power is much lower than what you would normally use. Even though it's to play with my child, you're still very much in the wrong place, aren't you?
It's a good thing that Dariel can see right through me, even if I thought I was pretending to be indistinguishable from him. Dariel is the only person who can distract me from my intentions, even for something as trivial as this.
Thank you, sir.

　In.
　I want you to cut to the chase.

　What the hell are you doing here?
　He has gone to the trouble of transforming and hiding his identity....

　He left his original home, the Demon King's Castle, and came to a country village to play with children.

　It's hard to believe that this is the work of the God who rules the world!

Because I was so bored.

　Without mischief, the Demon King said.
　In the form of a child.
　It's more comfortable than your previous appearance, isn't it?

Daryl, you're the only one who seems to be having fun every day. Are you busy?　Is it fulfilling?　Just leave me alone.

　.................
　What if this is.........?

　Am I bothered by the Demon King?

　This is a very bad situation.
　There are many troublesome people in the world, but none are more troublesome than the Demon King.

　After all, he is the god who created this world.
　His abilities are also undoubtedly the greatest, strongest and most powerful in this world.

　And that's while separating the second and lower-ranked players by a dimension difference.

　It's hard to believe that they can live out their lives in peace and quiet with this person's attention.

''I have a lot of questions I want to ask you.''
Blatantly off topic.

　Demon King, in the form of a child, smiling like a demon.
　Isn't the inside still the same?

Rest assured. You're alive, little Radie. I'm not even a resident of Valhalla.
"You don't want me to get ahead of such questions...?

　No, I'm sure you're worried about her, too, right?
　I thought he was still alive!

'She's quite a sight to see and she's being trained in a special environment. If she lives up to my expectations, she'll come out of it extremely strong. Otherwise, she will disappear.
Extinguished?
I don't care what the problem is, Mr. Dariel.　It's been five years since then, and I was hoping you'd come to me, but you haven't come at all. You could have beaten me.

　..........

Yes, you already have the power to defeat me, don't you?

　I couldn't answer anything.
