During the transition of the Demon King's Castle, there was still a strong demon tribe there to keep an eye on and prepare for anything that would illegally invade, but as expected, when you reach the level of a legion leader, the screening process becomes lax.

　Or perhaps the Demon King-sama has taken special care and ordered that Ike and Sephiro don't need to be carefully examined.

　The Demon King knows that I am a human, and he also trusts me with Sephiro.

　Both in his past life and in this life, he was always rumored to be cruel and cruel, but I knew that he was surprisingly sensitive and caring.

　We told him that we had an urgent matter to attend to, and he gave us permission to go to the audience room in the Demon King's castle.

　It was still a long and confusing road, but if we followed behind Cephiro, we could easily reach the audience room.

''Come to think of it, I've become a legion leader, but I still haven't been taught the structure of this random dungeon.

　I blurted out that, but when Cephiro looked at me, he just smiled at me and didn't let me in on his secret.

　Does he think it's too early for you, a newcomer, or is he just happy to have an area of advantage?

　Perhaps it's both, but you don't care and go into the audience room.

　The audience room at the Demon King's Castle was so large and full of solemnity that the voices did not reverberate, but the girl was absent from the throne in the center of the room.

''Is the Demon King-sama absent?''

　I ask Cephiro.

'No,'

　Sephiro shook his head.

''Earlier, we spoke through the magic of the Telepathic Spell, but you're supposed to be staying at the Demon King's Castle. Are you bathing in the hot water?''

　When she said that, she closed her eyes again and chanted the magic of the 《Notes》.

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

　If she closed her eyes and kept quiet, she would be a flying beauty, but this was the only time Cephiro would be silent.

　I stared at the scene for a while, and then she suddenly opened her big eyes and said.

''I get it. The Demon King is apparently in his private room.

Is this your private office?

　There was always an image of the demon king and the throne as a set, but I suppose the king would need a private room, and he would need some private time.

　I can't help but be curious about what kind of room that dainty girl lives in and what kind of private life she has, but I don't think I'll ever get the chance to find out.

　I'm only a legion leader, only partly under the Demon King-sama.
　The opportunity to peek into her life shouldn't come forever.

　--I've been thinking that, but my former boss, Sephiro, walked out of the room and was about to walk to the door that led to the Demon King's private quarters.

''Commander, which way are you going?''

　I couldn't help but ask, but Cephiro's answer was curt.

'The Demon King's room,'
..........

　I open my mouth quickly, though I can't help but be silent.

'Is it alright if I go on my own?'
The Demon King has ordered you to come to his room. How can you not go to your room?
On your left.

　The unexpected words startled me a little, but once I heard the reason, I understood.

The Demon King is not one to mix his personal and business affairs, but he does forgive his subordinates if they are his favorite. I used to play chess with your grandfather Romberg, and my mistress also occasionally visits him and enjoys talking with him about girls.

...girl talk.
...do you have something to say to me?
No.

　I assured her unequivocally, and followed her to the Demon King's private room.


''It's a surprisingly modest room,''

　That was my impression when I saw the Demon King's room.
　Speaking of the Demon King, the Sixth Heavenly Demon King, whose previous life was Nobunaga-sama.

　Nobunaga-sama is known to posterity as a person with a penchant for imported goods and a penchant for flamboyance, but in this world, it seems to be a little different.

　At the end of her room, I wonder where she got it. There was only a single tatami mat laid out, with a futon on top of it.

　I imagined that he was sleeping on a bed with a canopy, but apparently that was not the case.
　Perhaps because I was staring intently at the demon king's bed, the owner of the room let out this line of questioning.

''Surprising?''

　The owner of this room was, of course, the Demon Lord.

　Of course, that's what I thought, so I stared at him, but it would be rude to stare at a woman's room, and for that matter, my boss's room, and it would be rude to stare at him.

''I'm sorry,'' she apologized for her disapproval.

　However, the demon king doesn't seem to be bothered at all as he continues.

''I understand Unu's feelings. I just want to have some peace and quiet, at least in the bedroom. And besides, the Igusa tatami mats fit better than the bed.

　She said and suggested that he sit in a chair.
　It was a modest room, but there was at least a chair and a table.
　This too was not opulent, but simple.

We have a room dedicated to rare and unusual objects and masterpieces," he said, "and if you want to see them, you can go to that room. If you want to see them, you can go to that room. This is usually enough for me.

　I see, she has a reasonable personality.
　Once again grasping the character of the girl called the Demon King, I asked frankly.
　She's a rational and intelligent Demon King. It would be better to cut out the business suddenly.
　I handed the letter I received from Alistair the other day directly to the Demon King.
　When I received the letter, the king quickly read through it.

　It would take more than ten minutes of time, too long to read the article, too short to decide the future of the Demon King's army. It was about that time that the Demon Lord spoke to me.

''It's not a bad deal.''

　Apparently, the Demon King seems to think the same way I do.
　Sephiro follows suit.

''It's certainly not a bad deal. Half of Rosalia is already in the hands of my Demon King's Army. I'm sure you'll be able to get the exact same thing, then this battle will be positioned as a strategic victory for my demon king's army.

　The Demon King nodded slightly, "Mm," and then added, "However.

''As long as the humans fulfill and fulfill that promise, though.

'Sure,' says Cephiro, too.
　The two beautiful women's eyes are drawn to me.
　I guess they want to hear my point of view.
　I tell them both honestly what I think.

The letter was brought to you by the daughter of a human named Alistair. I met that daughter once before, and she didn't seem like the type of person who could lie.

But that girl is the messenger. You don't know what those behind her will think of her.

'Indeed it is. I can't judge until I know what the King of Rosalia and his men behind her feel about it.

I'm also concerned about the League of Lords, which is also behind the League of Lords. I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make it work. I'm not sure that a single king can make peace with them on his own.

''That's right. It's quite possible that even if the king of Rosalia raises a note, the kings of other countries are still over-willed to fight,''

　I can see the kings shouting at the top of their lungs that the demon race is a mortal enemy, and that if we don't destroy them here, when will we destroy them?

I can see the kings shouting at the top of their lungs that the demons are an irreconcilable foe and that they must be exterminated when they are here. Rosalia really wants peace. Rosalia wants it, but the other kings don't. And vice versa, the other kings don't. It could be the other way around, or it could be that the other kings have grown tired of fighting fruitless battles and have urged the king of Rosalia to make peace.

It's a distinct possibility.

'But it's also possible that they were sending emissaries purely to buy time. They could be preparing a massive counterattack behind the scenes.

　'I can't stop thinking about it,' said Cephiro, laughing, 'Kakka.

'Well, that's true. There are all kinds of possibilities. --That's why I've come to this castle to ask the Demon King for his judgment.

　When I tied it off, I turned my gaze to the Demon King-sama. Sephiro follows suit.
　As I've said before, this decision is beyond the level of a legion leader.
　In the end, I have no choice but to let the Demon King-sama make the final decision.

　That's how I came to this point, but how will this girl called the Demon King come to a conclusion?

　In her previous life, the girl who was one of the most prominent strategists and politicians in Japan's history made a decision after a moment's meditation: "I will make this peace and make it work.

"I think this peace is worth making.

　Cephiro and I were surprised to hear those words.
　Because I got my wish to come true, but Cephiro looked surprised.
　Cephiro asks the Demon King-sama without hesitation.

''Is it alright?　It's not a bad idea to make peace, but the other legion leaders will be very much against it. There are many bloodthirsty legion leaders.

　Sephiro didn't name any particular names, but I also pictured two or three faces of the legion leader who seemed to be forcefully opposed to the idea.

　However, the Demon King-sama said in strong words, as if to break through that imagination.

''Don't worry. I will make adjustments in that area myself.

'There's a chance we could be in revolt, sir?　Or perhaps that's what humans are really after?

　Sephiro bit down, but the Demon King still seemed confident.

''Then that's all there is to it. It's just that I didn't have the capacity to be a demon king. The time is right.

　Just--" he continues.

''In this war-torn world, not to mention the demons and monsters, humans are also tired. It's not a bad idea to take a break here.

The time of the henpecked eggs, you mean.

　I nod my head.

"Exactly. ''You're right, and you know it. Our demon army has become much richer and more powerful than it was in the past. Thanks to a certain man.

　The Demon King-sama and Cephiro's gaze is turned towards me. In other words, they must be referring to me.

The more time that passes, the greater the gap between human and demon power will grow. Relatively speaking, this side's agricultural and industrial output will increase, and in addition, the rate of gun ownership should increase by the day.

So you're saying that the longer we make peace, the better it is for my Demon King's army?

　Sephiro asks.
　The Demon King nodded his head and concluded, "In theory.

''-- If the Demon King thinks that far, his mistress will not oppose it. Even if there is a dissenting opinion at the warlord's meeting, Mistress will do her best to side with the Demon King.

　Sephiro assured him, and the Demon King-sama smiled slightly, "Thank you.
　Seeing that smile made him smile. It was because I could be sure that she wanted peace as well.
　I decided to devote all of my energy to helping her.
　I raised my omniscience and omnipotence and renewed my determination to become the Demon King's power.
　After making this decision, I said to the Demon King and Sephiro.

"Please let me be the one to negotiate with Rosalia.
　And--.

　The Demon King-sama's gaze is on me, but she seems to be expecting me to do so.

''I'll leave all negotiations with Rosalia to Unu.

　The demon king said and smiled a dainty girl's smile.
