Even on the sixth day, the hall of the Sixth King's Festival is just as crowded as the first day, or even more so. Even though the sun has gone down, it hasn't diminished, and on the road where the human race, the demon race, the god race, and many others are passing by, there are people walking around with a distinctly different look.



　A woman with long blonde hair of excellent proportions opens her mouth to mutter. She is wearing a sensational dress that opens up boldly at the bust, and her hair looks as if it is shining. Her footsteps are graceful, and her white porcelain feet, except through her slit, attract the gazes of men, whether they like it or not.
　A girl walking next to her tawny-skinned girl twitches her eyebrows at the words of a woman who radiates such an intense s*xuality that even women, not to mention men, are blushing with the slightest flush of her eyes.

''There's no need to worry about such things. ''Chartier-sama's instructions supersede everything.''
'Huh, a great deal of loyalty as usual... but don't think that all of them are as loyal to Chartier-sama as you and Pandora-sama are. Hey, Moloch?
"...what do you mean?　Lilim.

　The brown-skinned girl called Moloch listens back with a somewhat exasperated expression on her face at Lilim's words. Then Lilim opens her mouth with a thin smile on her face.

''I mean it as it is. Not all of the executives are enthralled with Chartier-sama. At least I don't have the same loyalty as you do.
....
Don't stare at me like that. It's not that I'm thinking of disobeying Chartier-sama, but it's not that I'm thinking of disobeying her. In fact, you're actually doing this right now, and you're following instructions, right?

　
　Moloch, who is also the organizer of the demon species, has the dual name of 'Great Demon Seeking Sacrifice'. The strongest whore and Lilim, who is also known as the 'Ridiculing Nightmare'.
　The girls were currently on their way to the venue of the Sixth King Festival after receiving a call from Chartier.

''........The reason I'm serving Chartier-sama is because I can enjoy the delicious feeling. Well, it's a coincidence of interests, isn't it?　It's a businesslike relationship.
''I don't know what you are trying to say, but if you betray Lady Chartier I will kill you.
'What?　Scary scary you don't have to worry about it, I wouldn't do something so stupid. I mean, I'd be too afraid to do something like that, very much so.
....
'Doesn't Lady Chartier know what I'm thinking?　On top of that, they let me do what I want. I have nothing to complain about...and they give me the work I deserve. They even tolerate the freedom to not pledge absolute loyalty ... and they reward me when I want it, not too much or not enough.

　Without stopping to walk, Lilim tells you in a tone as if she were singing.

''I don't think of Chartier-sama as the supreme king or anything like that like you do, but I do think he's the best boss I've ever had. And I'm also deeply afraid of his power and coldness. That's why I follow instructions and never betray him because I'm afraid of him... you see, I'm with you on the consequences alone. I'll obey and I won't betray you.
....
'So don't stare at me like that. It's not just small talk it's boring. But, well, that's just the way some people think and I'm guessing that Catastro, Pheonix and Tiamat are my type. Astaroth and Glatni are like you, aren't they?　I'm not sure about phantoms and pandemonium.
Well I haven't seen any pandemonium lately, what are you doing here?

　At Lilim's words as he spoke while naming the other ten demons, Moloch, who had been silent, finally opened his mouth.

''Umm, I don't know much about it either, but I heard that she works as a maid in the 'Duke Albert family'.
What's he doing?
You know what?　I don't really know what that kid's thinking, either. See, there's that otherworldly kid from the other world, right?
...Master Miyamakite?
'Oh yeah, I heard she's 'making her bed and cleaning her room'. Every day, diligently...
I say again what is he doing?
What?

　As they were walking along in idle conversation, a girl dressed in pretty clothes and holding a stuffed animal suddenly appeared in their path.

'....pick me up.
'What?　I'm not Gratney I'm grateful for that, but I wish you had come earlier if you were going to pick me up anyway~
''All I was asked to do was to pick up the ten demons when they arrived at the venue, otherwise I don't know anything else.

　Gratney, one of the ten demons like Lirim and Moloch, 'Predator of the Sub-Sky' Gratney muttered in a small voice and then moved his fingers vertically in front of them.
　Then a line ran across the landscape and opened like a door.

'Come in ... and Lilim. If you betray Shartia-sama, I'll devour you, not Moloch.
''...............................Oh yes, yes. The fanatic group is really scary~

　It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with your friends.
　As soon as they entered, the open space closed and disappeared, and at the same time, Gratney's figure disappeared from the scene.





　Lirim and Moloch were ushered into a simple room where only a round table and ten chairs existed. All ten demons, except Pandora, were already there.

　Translucent and faceless, just a being whose robes seemed to be floating in the air........The 'Ghost of Disaster' Phantom.
　A light green-haired woman dressed in a swallow-tailed suit and drinking tea while wearing thick gloves... "Eternal Disaster" Catastro.
　The one sitting in a stuffed cow given to him by the Lord, foolishly wearing a stuffed cow.......Astaroth, the "Declarer of the Pretense".
　The beautiful bird sitting in the chair, wrapped in green flames and lawfully seated in a chair............................The Immortal Flame, Phoenix.
　A huge lamia with two horns and over four meters in length, clearly not the size of the chair.......Tiamat, "Sorrowful Despair".
　A girl with bandages wrapped around all but her right eye and mouth, wearing a dress over it, and sewing with some kind of needle and thread... "The Sick Demon Calling Perdition" Pandemonium.

　If you add Pandora, Gratney, Lilim, and Moloch to this, you have the top brass of the Phantom King Corps ... the ten demons.

''Oh my gosh, everyone is early~ Pandora-sama and Chartia-sama seem to be not yet.......''

　Muttering in a light tone, Lilim takes the empty seat with a graceful movement, and Gratney takes a seat as well. Only Moloch faintly contorts his face at being seated next to Lilim due to the empty seat, and then silently sits down in his seat.
　And the nine county-level high-ranking demons who had gathered together were quietly waiting for the Lord's arrival........

''Hey, guys. I talked with Moloch a little while ago, which type of people are you guys?　Does it feel like you're pledging your allegiance to Lady Chartier like Moloch?　Or is it a businesslike relationship like mine?
....

　Lilim, who doesn't like boredom, doesn't care about Moloch's gaze, which seems to be deeply depressed, and tells him in a cheerful tone.
　And perhaps because the topic that was waved off was about the main.......Chartier, the head of the Phantom King Corps, the ten demons in the room reacted, except for Pandemonium and Phantom.

'The Phantom........doesn't talk when you ask him. Gratney, well, I'll ask her in passing but she's the same as Moloch, right?
'Lady Chartier has picked me up. I will use all my strength for Lady Chartier.
What about Catastro?
'Hmm, I'm more of the same as Lord Lilim. I know he's a great man, but the reason I'm serving him is because I have the advantage of serving him.

　Catastro, who answered Lilim's question, chuckles as he shows the glove that had been tattered before he knew it.

''And the cost of materials, since it's not ridiculous.
Did you ruin another one?　Isn't it too soon?
I'm in a bit of a bind. We choose materials that are resistant to decay, but...

　Catastro was born with the power to corrupt anything it comes into contact with. That power is so powerful that even a custom-made glove made of decay-resistant materials will be ruined in a few hours.
　Hence, Catastro's daily expenses were considerable, and it seemed that the reason he was serving Chartier was in part because his salary was excellent.

''.........Next is Astaroth, but, well, you don't need to ask him either.
'Of course, I am absolutely loyal to Lady Chartier. The great Lord who has found and nurtured my strength.
I don't care if you look like an idiot, you look like an idiot.

　Astaroth has sworn absolute loyalty to Chartier, just like Moloch and Gratney. That was already obvious when he has been favoring the stuffed suit that Chartier gave him on a regular basis.......

''Then what about Fenix?''
''........It's a difficult point. The reason I'm serving Chartier-sama is........fear, right?''
Oh, you're immortal, but is Lady Chartier still so terrifying?
If he seals you up, that's all there is to it. In that sense........awe?

　
　Lilim nodded once and then turned his gaze towards Tiamat, who was pressuring the space to his left. Then Tiamat also senses his intentions and opens his mouth.

''I am. It would be the same as Lilim and the others. There are too many tragedies in the world. And it will never go away........but Chartier-sama can minimize that tragedy. Hence, I follow.
Hmmm....the same as always.
'Oh!　Alas, my own impotence my inability to wipe out the sorrows of the world!　Oh, the tragedy doesn't go away. How sad!
Stop it!　You can't just unleash an ultrasound in here!
I suppose that's another providence of grief.
'No!　Absolutely not!

　Lilim kicks away and silences Tiamat, who is sensitive and generates ultrasonic waves with a wide area impact when he shouts. When he is still lamenting, it can be said that he is hardcore.......

'........all that's left is pandemonium.......are you listening to me?
I'm listening. I'm not interested in joining in.
I mean what the hell are you doing?
It's gonna get a little cold in here, so I'm making a blanket.

　With the exception of the Phantom who couldn't speak, Pandemonium didn't participate in the conversation at all, and continued to sew without looking up at Lilim's words.
　Of course, that knee cover was something she was making for Kaito, and it was something that should take precedence over everything else for her.

'..........er......pandemonium, by the way?　Can you knit a scarf or something?
Can you knit?
Well could you, um, you know, teach me a thing or two about it?
Okay.

　For some reason, the pandemonium replied to Lilim, who seemed somewhat bummed out and asked for help, after which Pandemonium replied that he didn't mind and continued working.
　At such a situation of Lilim, Moloch opened his mouth with a nod of his head.

''Well what kind of windbag is that?　You have no business being a sewer.
Shut up, whatever...
"As I recall, Lilim. I hear you've been cutting back on your flamboyant philandering lately.
"...Astaroth can you not say a word?

　The other ten demons' gazes are drawn to Lilim, who responds with a slightly irritated look, as if there's something he doesn't want them to know... except for Phantom and Pandemonium.

'You refrain from playing with men?　I can't believe it...
Isn't that enough?　This story ends here....
It's not really a good reason. I don't want to be hated again by my "beloved daughter" who finally restored our relationship a few years ago.
Astaroth!

　To Lilim, who is trying to divert the conversation in an impatient manner, Astaroth mercilessly gives a follow up. Apparently, he's slightly angry after being called 'stupid' earlier.

I've heard that you have one daughter, and she's the most horrible person in the world. I heard that you are hated by people who say, 'You are the most horrible thing in the world'...
Gosh, that was a long time ago...
Lately, she's been asking for help with makeup and dresses, and she's seemed quite happy about it.'
Well Astaroth, I'm going to kill you later.

　Yes, it can be said that playing with men is an instinct, and she has seduced countless men in the past, but she has only given birth to one child in the past.
　However, the first time she had a child, Lilim didn't know how to treat her daughter... and as a result, she was disliked by her daughter.
　However, after finally being able to repair his relationship with his daughter, who had grown up mentally thanks to various factors and "A Certain Sixth King" a few years ago, Lilim had put his heart and soul into his daughter.

　Anyway, since she was clumsy in the way she treated him, it often didn't work out... but recently they had a good relationship to the extent that she was able to call him 'mother'.
　Not wanting to be disliked again by her beloved daughter, who is so pretty that it doesn't hurt to put her in such eyes, Lilim has refrained from playing with men for the past few years.
However, being a succubus, it's an instinct for her to seduce men, so it's not zero, but....

　Looking at Lilim, who looks unusually embarrassed and glares at Astaroth, Moloch huffs a faint smile.

I see. I see. So the scarf is a present for your beloved daughter.......interesting. I would like to meet this girl too.
'I'll never forgive you!　It would be a total bad influence on Chris if he came in contact with a bunch of crazy people.　I don't tell people that I'm a Ten Demon either... Luckily, I had her when I was using a fake name, so they don't know about it, but it's okay.　Chris is an angel!　I'm not going to let them meet with a bunch of lunatics like you guys...
'You don't say, you... well, anyway, angel?　No, I only know about the rumors, but weren't they famous for being rather cunning?
Yeah?　That's pretty enough, right?　You're a girl, you should have a bad idea or two.
Yeah, well...

　To Lilim, who tells him blithely, Moloch nodded as if he was somewhat confused and stopped talking. Somehow, I had a feeling that if I listened any further, I wouldn't be able to stop talking....
　Then, just as if the timing was right, the door at the back of the room opened...and their master appeared.

''No~ Everyone seems to be getting along well, that's fine. Well, let's stop with the pleasant chit-chat.......let's get the meeting started, shall we?

　The ten demons all rose from their chairs and bowed to Chartier, who appeared with Pandora. Although their reasons for obeying were various, the fact that Chartier was a king to them remained the same.
