6-The Devil's Castle




 I went to the upper part of the amphitheater to meet my boss, the commander of the 7th Legion of the Demon King's Army, the Witch of the Black Peril, Cephiro, who was supposed to be in the noble seat at the top of the amphitheater.

 When I arrived there, Cephiro, as expected, greeted me with his usual smirk on his face.

It's good to see you, my dear grandson, and the best sorcerer under my command, Ike.

 It's a broken tone, but I don't care.
 Because this man has always been like this.

 He's been like this since we first met as children, and his personality and tone haven't changed at all.

 -- and even more so, her appearance.

 She looks the same as when I first met her.

 She has black hair that flutters down to her waist, uneven limbs, and a well-defined nose, and while her age can be passed for a teenager, her age--

(Oops.)

 I shouldn't do it.

 It's inappropriate to count a woman's age, even if she's in your mind.
 Besides, this witch's magic is immense.

 That magic power, that woman's intuition, made me suspect that she could not know what I was thinking, her presence was so overwhelming that it made me suspect that she could not know what I was thinking.

 That's why I've made a firm vow since I was a child not to lie in front of this woman alone.

'By the way, Commander, I would like to report on the occupation of Arsenum.

'Yeah, if that's the case, I've already got the information from the messenger. The process of the attack, the post-war occupation policy, there's nothing wrong with that.

'Then why did you call me? Don't tell me you really only intended to use me as a test subject for the golem?

Isn't it?

 She says this simply and enjoys my reaction.
 However, she immediately opens her mouth wide and continues with a laugh.

I'm just kidding, just kidding. I'm not that much of a drunken witch either. A certain person asked me to bring you to him, and the golem incident was one of the things that happened.

"A certain someone?

 I asked her that, but I could roughly guess who that person was by her tone of voice.

 The ranks of the Demon King's army can easily be divided into Demon King, Legion Commander, Brigade Commander, and Troop Commander.

 There is a demon race under the Demon King-sama in the position of Chief of Staff, but the rank is the same as the legion leader, so there should only be one person that Sephiro, the legion leader, calls 'that one'.

''That's right, the Demon King, Dyrokuten-sama, has personally asked to see you,''

Mr. Dylockten!

 I can't help but ask back.

 Dylockten is the name of the current Demon King in this world, as it goes without saying.

 He is the one who defeated the previous Demon King a few decades ago and took over as the new Demon King, and he is the head of the Demon King's army.

''However, it's not often I've heard of a Demon King meeting with a brigade leader.

Hmm, no mistress. It's just that when I told you that I had a man under my command who brought Arsenum down in just one week, you said you'd like to meet him.

 So now I'm going to take you to the Demon King's Castle, she continued, and ordered me to put my hand on her shoulder.

 I do as she suggested and place my hand on her shoulder.

'What's the matter with you, it's boring, I thought you were going to touch my tits in the midst of the hustle and bustle.

If I wanted to wean you, I'd have done it already.

 When I said that, I prepared for the transference magic.

 But if you have a magical power like hers, you don't have to worry about failing the transition or getting transition sickness.

 The only thing that worries me is the tension of going to the place called the Demon King's Castle for the first time.
 A lowly person like me rarely goes to the Demon King's Castle.
 Half excited, half nervous, I waited for the transition.
