What can I say, the conversation went on and on, and before I knew it, it was decided to hold a banquet in the garden of Lilia-san's mansion.
　However, Megiddo-san, the one who started the whole thing, has disappeared, leaving his men who were making preparations quickly and efficiently behind.
　They don't seem to be bothered by it, and they continue to make preparations as they go along, but is it okay to not have someone who is, in a sense, the star of the show?

　As I was thinking about that........a pillar of fire rises in front of the gate again and Megiddo-san comes back. I wonder if this person raises a pillar of fire every time he transitions?
　But those doubts were quickly blown away when I saw Mr. Megiddo returning.
　Mr. Megiddo was holding 'Three Trees' in one hand and a huge green deer, even bigger than Mr. Megiddo, in the other hand.

'Oh, you've kept me waiting!'
Well Mr. Megiddo what's that?
Yeah?　Yeah, this meat is good again. And I don't mind the meat, but I thought that people would like to have some fruit as well, so I grabbed some along with it!

　Mr. Megiddo answers my question with a hearty laugh, and he nimbly takes it and places it in the middle of the yard.
　Then Megiddo's men move quickly and dismantle the giant deer.

"....Hey Megiddo. Isn't that........a forest horn?
'What?　I don't remember the names of every single food item.
Did you get permission from Lillywood?
Why do I have to ask permission from Lillywood?

　Seeing the deer that Megiddo-san had hunted, 'Kuro' spoke to it with some kind of dumbfounded face.
　For some reason, Liliwood-san's name came up........what a very, very pathetic feeling.

''You said that Forest Horns are becoming less and less of a population, so you said you were going to limit their distribution.
Is that right?　Well, we can't be bothered with all these little things!
"...I'm sure he's got his head in his hands right now, Lillywood...

　Apparently, Mr. Megiddo is Mr. Lillywood's territory?　It seems that he took an unauthorized deer and tree from
　



















　The largest forest in the demon world is managed by the World King Liliwood.
　In that corner, the king of the forest, Liliwood was stunned.

''........This.......is......what is this......''
''Oh, Lord Kaiou!　Well, the Warlord appeared out of the blue just now and said that he was going to have a banquet and that he was going to get some fruit and meat for me...
....

　Hearing the situation that his family members had told him in a hurry, Liliwood looks out of the corner of his eye................and is silenced by the sight of several trees pulled out from their roots.
　

''Megiddo-ooh!























　The preparations for the banquet were ready, and the people living in Lilia-san's mansion, including Kusunoki-san and Yuzuki-san, came out to the garden.
　When Megide-san holds a large cup and is about to make a toast.......a tree grows in the garden of the mansion.
　Then the tree that had grown up wriggled and changed shape, and Mr. Liliwood appeared.

''Megiddo!''
Hey, Lillywood, you wanna join us?
'I didn't come to talk about that!　How dare you ravage my forest!'
...did I do that?

　While Mr. Liliwood is clearly trembling with anger, Megiddo-san tilts his head without seeming particularly bothered.
　Seeing Megide-san's reaction, Liliwood looks even angrier and glares at Megide-san sharply.
　

''The tree lying there is the best proof of all!
Oh, well I got some fruit!
"Don't pull out the whole tree!
It would be faster, wouldn't it?
''...How many times do I have to tell you the same thing before you start harvesting normally, you muscle idiot!
What?
What is it?

　The exchange between Liliwood-san and Megiddo-san gets hotter and hotter, and finally Megiddo-san's voice gets lower and lower.
　
　And with a sound as if the air creaks between them, a storm of magic power blows in the air.

".........If you're looking for a fight, I'm buying it.　Lillywood.
''All right. Apparently, it's not enough for you to say it with your mouth..........................so I'm going to change places.
I'm right where I want to be!

　........The fight started before the party started.
　Liliwood-san and Megide-san have decided that they can't fight with all their might here, or perhaps they disappear at almost the same time with transition magic.
　
　The star of the show?　was stunned by the scene where the 'Black' disappeared along with the six kings who suddenly appeared, 'Black' opened his mouth again with a dumbfounded expression.

''Haha, this is going to take a while. The feast will be after Megiddo and Liliwood come back.
Well you will, won't you?
Well, in the meantime, do you want me to have a chat with you, Kite?　Hey, Kite, I wonder if you have any thoughts on my hexenbiest mode?
'What?　Not really, though.
You don't have it?

　At any rate, if the two of them don't come back, the conversation won't progress, so I'll be chatting with 'Kuro' until then.
　

''Look, look, there's something to be said.　It was cool, or it looked horrible!
...Isn't it hard to move with all those spikes?
What?

　I have a feeling the spikes are going to stick in your body if you walk around dressed like that.
　I'm not sure if my words were unexpected or not, but "Black" went rigid with a shocked expression and after a while, he came to talk to me as if he was upset.

''No, no, but you see, there's something there!　They've never shown me a Hexenbiest mode before, have they?　Is there anything you want to ask me?
"...hmmm. Then can I ask you one question?
Mm-hm. Ask me anything!

　I'm not bothered by the fact that you don't have any feelings about the monster mode, and you want to ask me some questions.
　I'm not going to be able to get a good idea of what I'm going to be doing.

''........Who are you?''
...What?

　Hearing my question, this time "Black" completely stiffens.
　After a period of heavy silence, "Black" opens his mouth with a troubled smile.

You're not going to be able to get it right.　I'm not a black man, am I? --Huh?

　To be honest, I didn't have any proof, it was almost like a hunch, but I was sure of it.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find it in front of me now. The same appearance, the same voice, and the same magic power as Black, that's not Black.

You're going to be able to find out what the hell you're talking about, Kite. What are you basing that on........
I have no proof. I don't know why but you're not. You're not black.
....

　With conviction, 'Black' hears my words that tell him in a stronger tone than before and becomes silent.
　And after a short period of silence again..............................I heard a different voice than before.

''......................I must say, I'm surprised.
Huh?

　He still looks like Black, but his voice has changed from earlier to a familiar high-pitched voice.

"That's the first time I've been detected. I'm going to have to revise my opinion of you but I'll give you credit where credit is due. Brilliant...
...Phantom King, No Face.
Exactly. Now, now, that's just awful.

　While applauding in Black's form, the Phantom King comes to me with words of praise.
　........It's unbelievable. Even now that his true identity has been revealed, I can't tell any difference in appearance between the Phantom King in front of me and Black, and the magic power I feel is definitely the same as Black's.

　Before that, neither Kronor-san, the Supreme God, nor Megiddo-san, the Sixth King, noticed.................a perfect disguise.
　No, it might be more correct to say that this is no longer a transformation or a copy.

''Miyama Kite. You have successfully defeated the threat of the Warlord. I didn't expect you to pull it off so quickly. Excellent I feel proud of you too.
"...which mouth...
But I'm not satisfied yet. Show me more ... your potential.
....

　After announcing in a creepy voice, but somewhat happily, the Phantom King looks straight at me and smiles.

''But before that I must give you a reward for overcoming the second ordeal you can accept.
...What's this?

　Out of nowhere the Phantom King pulls out a small ... about the size of a playing card and holds it out to me.

'You're going to play at the Dead King's residence, aren't you?　Then I'm sure it will help.
Huh?

　This guy is really creepy and annoying on top of being creepy.
　It's said that all information is gathered to the Phantom King, but apparently there's no falsehood in that statement.......this guy even knows such things.

　I'm not sure if this guy can disguise himself to the extent that almost no one can understand him... maybe he's been disguised as someone who is near me, even up until now, and has been near me with a nonchalant look on his face.
　Once again, as I feel the fear of the Phantom King, the Phantom King smiles happily with his black face.

''I have high hopes for you. Miyama Kite I hope you keep up the good work and get through the ordeal.
....
"And then I will present before you an abyss to be challenged....
'What?　Wait!
"I'll see you later.

　Once again, leaving only words, the Phantom King disappears like smoke.
　Leaving behind an even more eerie horror than the last time we met...

　Dear Mother, Father - The king who has been blending in before I knew it. The phantom king, which can be aptly described as an imaginary phantom, is a very eerie existence.
