This world.....
　It seems that we humans were created for a reason.

　To defeat the Lord of Creation.

　I don't know what the meaning of that act is.

　But if we were created for that reason, if we don't follow that, then our existence will lose its meaning, don't you think?

But it's not.

　No matter what the purpose was in the beginning, because it was created, it has the will and desire of its creator.

　Humanity, which was a means to kill the Creator, has spun various activities and stories throughout its history.

　I am one of them.

　I don't have a great mission.
　I've been living my life as hard as I can, as an ordinary person, wherever I am.

　As a result, I've met all kinds of people, made connections, come into a family and have things to protect.

'I have something to protect. Protecting that is the meaning of my life.

　So even if the Creator presses us for a reason for creating us....
　I can't throw away the goal I've found for myself.

''That's why I can't fight you. I'm sorry.

　At the very least, I bow my head in apology.

　If I have to fight against this master, the master of this world, I will do so with my entire life.
　But I have my children, my family, and this village of which I am the head, and I want to devote my life to protecting and nurturing them.

Can't you listen to the Lord of this world?
Shouldn't we, as masters of this world, have compassion for the little happiness of each and every person who lives there?

　It's the Creator.
　He can do what he wants, more than anyone else in the world.

　And if he doesn't like it, he's more than happy to smash the things he doesn't like.

　If I refuse The Creator because of my home and my homeland, He can threaten the things I care about most.

　I must defeat the Demon King or the world will fall.

　Then even I will have no choice but to fight for my place in the world.
　Like a beast that has been pierced by a nest of beasts that are desperately trying to attack me.

　.....
　What decision will this gentleman make to get what he wants?

...Haaaaahhhh, okay, okay, okay.

　The Demon King let out a weary sigh. He was dressed like a child, like an old man.

"You're just as mean as I am," he said, "I'm sure you've seen a lot of things up close as a dark soldier. "You're a mean old man," he said, "and as a dark soldier, I'm sure you've seen a lot of what I'm capable of up close and personal, and you're the guardian god of sentient beings. And now you want me to be the guardian of sentient beings?
I became a parent myself, and I learned that. A parent should have compassion on his or her children, no matter what they are.

　If only all the human beings living in this world were created by you....
　If it is your duty as the father of all things, then you should have compassion on all of this world.

If that is your duty as the father of all things.
That's a lot to ask.

　The Demon King-sama smiles bitterly.

Well, I knew it would come to this. Even if I put the world in jeopardy to make you feel better, there is no guarantee that you will be able to defeat me when you're pissed off. If you don't, it will seriously ruin the world and ruin all our plans.
Good eye, sir.
I wonder if this is what happens to people who are awakened to the power of 'heaven' after all?　You will find something more important than immediate victory or defeat. That's why you don't care about defeating the Demon King.
That's what enlightenment is all about, isn't it?
As a matter of fact, people before you have been awakened to the power of the heavens. As a matter of fact, people before you have awakened to the power of the heavens, but they all lose interest in the fight. And then they go away, enjoying life to the fullest. Not to hell and not to heaven.

　Without going to any of the afterlife that the Demon King had prepared for you, you will be annihilated along with your soul as it is.

　I understand what it's all about.
　That's how I will eventually disappear after death, leaving nothing behind.

　Except for the various possessions and unfinished business I will leave to my children.

"Everyone is on their own.... They'll just go their own way.... They're all going away, leaving me alone. You will leave me alone with my cock, which is not going anywhere...

　For some reason, such a soliloquy from the Demon King was something that sticks in my mind.

　The Creator of the world.
　The Lord of Omniscience and Omnipotence.

　The pinnacle of excellence in everything and supposed to be able to do whatever he wants with everything.
　I'm holding on to one really significant point that I can't control.

　Just at this moment, I felt pity for this Almighty.

'Hmmm, fine. It's okay that Dariel isn't available. I still have Radie!

　So where is Radey now and what is he doing?

'Little Radey has the power of hell too!　Another legacy that Mr. Drismegian left behind unintentionally!　She's got the guts to go out there and beat me, doesn't she?
She's a very brave girl.

　That's our goal.

I'm expecting more from her than usual, so I've set up a special training ground for her. At first I thought about sending her to Valhalla. After much consideration, I realized that sending them there would not be enough to defeat me.
Anyway, it's a good thing,

　If you go to Valhalla, it won't belong to us completely.

''Demon King-sama, may I have a word?''
What the hell?
'You say I've got the ultimate power, but I still think I've got a lot of things I'm missing.

　As a father, as the head of this village.
　There are so many things I can't do.

　Every time I find a mistake, I get irritated and wonder why I never grow up.

I have to keep growing up. "I must continue to grow as a nurturer. Isn't that hundreds of times harder and more meaningful than becoming a fighter and a destroyer?

　I'm far from ultimate.
　I am just one of the most ordinary people, struggling like a jitterbug, like everyone else in this world does.

'Will he who has mastered the holy try to master the mundane as well? Well, I can see that.

　Apparently, the Demon King understands.

"Don't lick it. There are thousands of times more people who have existed for thousands of years than you. How many saints in the past, when they couldn't get enough of the ground they'd reached, they went one step further?
'It's very convincing when the Demon King says it.
They usually return to the mundane. Such people usually return to the mundane, where they have been resigned to the lowest and dirtiest of all. Those who have seen enough of the sacred space to know that it is in the mundane that they will find the truth.

　No, I don't know.
　I'm not one of those great people's kind, I'm just an old man.

　It's all I can do to earn money every day and provide for my family.

That's all right. "Well, okay, I'll show you the magnitude of a creator, if that's how you feel. You can seek your own path in the mediocrity in which you live.
Thank you.
I'll be my own person and I'll work out a way to get what I want. I'm just beginning to formulate a new plan.

　Hmm?

　It was then that I was about to pursue what the hell he was talking about.

'Hal-kun!　Hal.　Hal kuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck!

　I thought I heard a call from afar, but it was my Gran-kun.

　Huh?
　What?

I see you've finished your lunch. The afternoon games have begun.

　So, you're saying that I spent my lunch break today talking to the Demon King?
　I spent my entire lunch break today talking to the demon king?

　After the morning session!
　The day is going to go down smoothly!

'Hooyah!
"What?

　It hits me in the shin.
　I see my daughter, Serica, swinging at my shins with a frying pan.

Father!　What are you doing here, skipping work?　Aunt Droyer's having a hard time alone!
I'm so sorry!

　It's all true!
　It's the end of the lunch break, but this is no time to eat lunch anymore!

　I've got to get back to my job as mayor, for goodness sake!

Then it's Gran and Selica!　My father has a job to do, he's going to beat himself up about it, and you guys can do whatever you want with it.　Because playing is what kids do!　Adieu!
Good luck, Uncle.
Huh?　........Oh you too!

　I swallowed the words as I held back the urge to call him 'Demon King-sama'.
　And then run away.

　In the end, I had no idea why he had disguised himself as a child and approached my child.
　If I'm the target, you should have approached me openly.

　I still have a lot of work to do, but I couldn't allow myself to be distracted by the fact that I had a lot of work to do.
　Is this what it means to be painted in the common sense?

　As I ran, I glanced back and saw my sons Gran and Hal, the Maou-sama, happily playing a game of chambara as usual.

　I should have been running a long time ago, but the shock waves were chattering away.
