In the office of the 7th Legion Commander Cephiro's residence.

''.........Hmm......the one who was pulling the strings behind the scenes was Basteo?

　That was the first thing she said after reporting the incident.
　Perhaps it was unexpected, but she has an unusually mysterious look on her face.
　I make a lighthearted remark, though not to distract from the mood.

''But speaking of Dullahan, he's the highest level of the undead. In case you're wondering, I'm also the highest-ranked Immortal King Rich, the highest-ranked Immortal Race, so I think I'm a pretty good match.

　The Dullahan is a demon race that represents the immortal race.


''Dullahan, the undead who are said to be the knights who have committed many evil deeds during their lives when they come back to life.


　In short, he was a demon race with a separate neck and body.

　If Rich is defined as the strongest sorcerer of the immortal race, then Durahan is the strongest knight of the immortal race, right?

　To put it in a modern way, Rich is the eastern yokozuna and Durahan is the western yokozuna.

　Well, you won't be able to get through to the Commander, who is a demon tribe in another world.

''But it's not surprising. The demon tribe has always been on bad terms with each other. Most of them are probably jealous of our 7th Legion's success and seduced that Jace guy. To pull his leg.

...hmm.

　It's kind of crunchy.
　Is there any other reason?

If that's the case, that's fine. In that case, that's all right. This is just another case of purging a traitor, and that's all that matters.

So you're saying that there is more to this than meets the eye?

It may be, it may be.

...For example, this incident was a stepping stone that Basteo's guy betrayed the Demon King and thought he was going to become the new Demon King.　

..........

　Cephiro answers by silence.
　Apparently, she thinks so.

''However, the current Demon King-sama, Dairokten-sama, is outstanding in terms of his ability, popularity and charisma. He won't give up his position as Demon King so easily.

But demons are demons. Even if you're dealing with a demon like Mr. Draxler, you may still be an object of envy.

　And besides," he continues, "Demons are a bunch of self-aggrandizing, power-hungry people.

He continued, "Demons are a bunch of self-aggrandizing, power-hungry people. If they have a chance, the leader of the army will go after the throne of the demon king. That's the nature of the demon race.

Well I suppose that's true.

　The faces of all the legion leaders of the seven demon king armies come to mind.
　All of them seemed to be very different from each other.
　I asked the person who is the most peculiar among them (Cephiro), "By the way, Commander.

By the way, Commander. The commander is also the commander of 'that' demon tribe's army, but if you had the chance, would you betray the demon king?

　Cephiro answers the conundrum immediately.

'Betrayal.'
..........

　Seriously.
　I can't help but be silent.

'-and then I tried to see what you'd look like if I said that.

　Then, as usual, he chuckles, "Grin.

..........

　I'll just take it as a joke, but I wonder if he really means it.
　This person is one of the edges of the demon tribe.
　It's not surprising that he has that much ambition hidden away, though.

''.........''

　No, if you think about it dispassionately, it's impossible, or this person is not that kind of a person.

　Rather than assuming the responsible position of a demon king, he is someone who chooses to stay in the position of a legion leader and immerse himself in research as a mad alchemist (Matudo scientist).

　In case you're wondering, I decided to answer this in line with Sephiro's joke.

''If the Commander betrays the Demon King-sama, then I'll go along with him.

　Hearing the answer, Cephiro chuckles and responds.

'Really?　Is that a silly question? Because there's only one person who can use you well, and that's the mistress.

　After confidently concluding his statement, he concluded

"Then join me and my concubine in the depths of the Abyss!　I'm the greatest magician in the Demon King's army!

　I bowed my head reverently, joking a bit.
Yes, sir.
　I agreed with her.

　Then I went with her to the depths of hell, the 'Demon King's Castle'.
