It was late afternoon one day, on my way home from a brothel in Ortia.
　I was wandering the streets of Pindos at random when I saw someone.

　Instantly, a chill goes down my spine.
　Before I knew it, I had drawn my sword. The first move is a must. I knew that if I didn't, I would be killed.

　I drew my sword and let go of it, jumped on the boy and slashed at him.

　Gakkien!

　There was an echoing metallic sound, sparks flying.
　My slash was gutted by an arm that was raised carelessly.

'What the hell are you, you're being rude all of a sudden?'

　It's a young girl who catches my blow and is indignant.
　She's even younger than Midea, and her long, thin twin-tails with her long hair tied up on either side add to her juvenile appearance.
　Furthermore, the girl is in a sweet shop, with a pile of bowls piled up around her to show the amount of food she has eaten.

　I'm not fooled by such looks.

　The warning sound that rings in my brain from the moment I see it, the power to stop my best blow as if it were nothing.
　He's not just a man, he's undoubtedly the strongest human being I've ever met.
　I'm a few steps better than that dragon king's shadow.

"What are you?　What are you doing here?
'You don't have to answer. It was a good blow, and we'll let you off the hook for it.

　'Go,' he says, swiping my sword away as quickly as he can.

'Not so fast. I'm the lord of this city. I can't leave a dangerous being like you behind.
"My lord?

　The girl who was returning to the sweetness stopped her hand and stared at me, wondering what she thought of my words.

　Meanwhile, the surroundings started buzzing.
　The lord who is drawing his sword and releasing it, the girl whose lord is glaring at her.
　The number of onlookers slowly began to increase, as they definitely didn't seem to be justified.

　If this is not the case, there will be collateral damage, if we don't scatter them--''

''I see, so you're the guy from Cano.
What?
Yeah, I know this guy. Yeah, yeah, that's a lot better than the last one, Milos.
You know about your brother Milos? Who the f*ck are you?
It's not polite to call me "you". I'm Kaori, and I call her Auntie.
Kaori...?

　I've never heard that name before, and it's not the type of name I'm used to hearing, I thought.

'Yeah!'

　The owner of the sweet shop, and the onlookers around him, were even more buzzed.
　What's this all about?

Kaori-sama........the Demon King, right?
Mmm ... yes ...
'Haha. I'm sorry I didn't know that. I'll bring you a refill right now, please wait.

　My husband hurriedly withdrew into the store, and the surroundings buzzed even more.
　.........Demon King?

　Kaori glared at me, which made everyone around her kind of terrified.

'It's your fault they found out, and you will be held accountable.
Yeah.

　What the hell is going on here?

　　　　　★

　The living room of the mansion.
　Kaori ordered me to leave the sweet shop and take her to my mansion instead, because she couldn't eat quietly because she was drawing too much attention after that.

　I had no reason to order her back to the mansion, but I honestly thought it was better than being violated, so I took her back to the mansion.

I'm sure you can explain it a little more clearly. What's a demon king?
Don't you know?　I am the head of Comotolia, Kaori the Second Demon King.
...the King of Comotolia, you mean?
That's the way it is.
That's what it's called, but to begin with, the Demon King--

　As I was about to ask more, the living room door opened without a knock.
　Midea appeared, and she looked at me.

I found you at last, Master. You promised to train me today, where have you been?

　He just walked briskly into the living room.

"Wait a minute, I'm coming in there.
'What is it, this girl has a better appointment with me than this girl.
Is this the girl?

　With a jolt, Kaori's eyebrows fluttered.
　Oh no - I thought, but I couldn't get there in time.

'Hey you,'
What the--

　Ta-da!
　Something tremendous grazed Midea's cheek and blew off the wall behind it - no, half of the mansion.

''...Huh?''
You're a lucky man. If it wasn't for your mother's advice, I'd be a charcoal grinder by now.
..........

　Kaori sniffs and snorts.
　Midea, on the other hand, lets go with a whimper.

'Hey!　Are you okay, Midea?
Master.....
What's wrong? What's wrong? What's wrong?
I ... I've been through the whole thing again from birth to today.
You can see the running lights!
'Oh, I see. So this is the phenomenon of condensed time in the witnessing of the masters. Haha, hahaha.
Wait a minute, that's not even remotely true. Come back, Midea.
"Ha-ha-ha-ha.

　Midea walks out of the crumbling wall with a glazed look in her eyes.
　I'm worried about her too, but now I'm over here.

'Who the hell are you, really?'
Call me Auntie. How many generations of Cano are you?
'What?　Uh ... ten ... how old are you?

　I don't remember it subtly.

'I'm your grandfather's grandfather's grandfather - I mean, I'm your half-brother and half-sister from the first generation.
"...Yeah?
I mean, a great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great. You wouldn't be able to call me that, so I'm just a grandmother.
My grandfather's grandfather and how old are you now?

　Ta-da!

　Something I couldn't see grazed my cheek.
　The half-destroyed mansion behind me puffed up another half.

　Kaori's hand sticking out, her index finger.
　Something I released with one finger blew the mansion apart.

'It's rude to ask a lady how old she is.
No, no, no.
I don't remember the first hundred.
Of course you do!

　I look at Kaori again.
　She has a young appearance and a thin body here and there.

　My sister, or rather, my aristocrat sister, looks old enough to be called a daughter if I was married early through the political marriage route.
　And that's.............................an aunt?

　But it doesn't seem to be a lie.
　To begin with, the two super attacks are inhuman.
　If I had to guess, it seems to be a long-lived species called 'Demon King'.

　I sighed.

''All right, all right, then, um, aunt--''

　Boom!

　Three super attacks, this time I was able to react just in time.
　I pulled out my sword and bounced the mass of power that flew at me right above me.

''Fufu the mansion would have been completely destroyed if it had hit. What the hell was that?
No, you don't get to be a grandmother. You have to call her by her name.
I don't know the difference!
It's more than that, I played...
What?
He played off my attack.
You see the same thing three times, you're gonna have to deal with at least one of these things...

　Was that bad?　Did you get something wrong?
　Maybe the fact that you played it touches your pride and turns you upside down?

　If that's the case, it's not good, and I prepared myself with my sword in my hand.

　But.

All right, you are leaving for the day.
What?

　In anticipation, Kaori didn't get upset.
　Rather, he got a smiley face.

''It's bye-bye,''

　And with a good-natured gait, he dashed out through the opposite wall and flew away in the air.

''Well at least get out of the broken part,''

　She appeared like a storm and left like a storm.
　I had made a mistake in plunging into Kaori like that.

　　　　　☆

　A few days later, the audience hall was half destroyed and being rebuilt.

　He was working on his duties appropriately with Mimis and the other vassals.
　The destruction of the mansion was suitably deceiving.
　Somehow, if I mentioned Kaori, I was going to become a yabusake, so I cheated with brute force.

　That's why Mimis' eyes are colder than usual.

Next. In the neighboring country, the Demon King of Comotolia is on the move.
Huh?

　A timely name came up.

'The Demon King of Comotolia?'
'Yes. Not directly related, but in a manner of speaking.
'Explain it more clearly. What the hell is the Demon King of Comotolia?
''It's not widely known, but the reason the Demon King of Comotolia didn't move is because of the previous Demon King's will, which said that the Demon King himself should not move until he finds an eventual existence. So the Demon King reigned for several hundred years, but he retreated to Comotolia and was peaceful as a result.
No, that's not what I'm talking about.

　I asked about the Demon King of Comotolia, but Mimis explained the Demon King's actions.

　I didn't formally answer my question, but on the contrary, I heard a number of disturbing words.
　I had a bad feeling that maybe, just maybe, a bad feeling came over me.

'Haha, no way.'

　I thought.
　The gatekeeper came running in from outside.

　The gatekeeper didn't talk to me directly, but to Mimis.
　Mimis's face changed.

"....my lord,
What the f*ck?

　Gulping, I gulped raw.

''I am His Majesty's messenger. I was wondering if your affair with the Demon King was true.
Oh no!

　This is about me, or I knew it was about me!

In other words the Demon King made his move because he saw his master as an equalizer.
Oh no...

　I would nod in disappointment.
