Pindos' mansion, the garden in the late afternoon.

　I was sitting in an easy chair, looking at the pictures, when my sister's presence approached me.

'Hermes, what are you doing here?'
Yeah, I was just watching this.

　Then she showed her sister the picture Kaori had pushed at her.
　She bent down to look at the photo, but what she thought was that she snatched it up.

'Shoo!'

　She threw down a picture of Kaori with a fluttering skirt and a bold form that raised her legs above her head.

　The photo of Kaori disappearing into the sky.
　I made a palm bridge on my forehead and looked at the picture as it flew away.

'It flew,'
'No!　Hermes, that's no good!
"Huh?
'Not that little girl!　I don't remember raising you like that, big sister.
What are you talking about, sister?
No way it's too late!

　Gagaan!　She makes a startled face as she slumps off like this.

No, it's the first time it's been exposed, it's not too late. I'm going to take a body and go to the right path.....
I don't know what you're up to, but that's the Demon King.
Huh?

　She rolls her eyes and looks at me.
　She compares me and the flying photo in turn.

"Ma'am?
"Demon King.
...Ma-oh?
'I'm not talking about the names of people or places. It's a picture of the Demon King Kaori, the King of Comotolia.
Is that... the Demon King?
Unbelievable, right?　It's the real thing, man, with that.

　I still can't believe it either.
　He's a child, lolita, and has a bit of a silly streak, but when it comes to strength, he's stronger than any opponent I've ever fought.

　You almost made me get serious....

"Well, um.........
By the way, that thing was forced on me by the Demon King. Then he said to me with a straight face
What's the...?
''This is the proof of the dupe who spoke with his fists, and if you lose it, I'll put the curse of species extinction and a short-lived curse on you.''
"I'm starving!

　Her sister changed her blood color and made a mad dash towards the one who had thrown the picture away.
　A mad dash to pick up her skirt - oh, Midea was run over.

　Well, it's true what they said, but your sister will find her, she'll be fine.

'Shucks, that was tough...'
I guess so.
Whoa!

　He spoke to me out of the blue, startling me enough to roll off the easy chair.

''Li, Your Highness Lina,''
Lina.
What?
'You can call me by my name. He's my teacher.
Oh yeah, that's right. What's more, what happened to you all of a sudden? It was a surprise.

　He stood up and stood in front of Lina.

''His Majesty has given me a compliment. That's great, that you can really do something about the Demon King.
Really?
Yes, Your Majesty would be very pleased.
''Is that so? I was a little worried about you, a special advisor to the Demon King without permission, and a grand duke?　I've been given a level position.
You're a pretty good judge of character, that's something to be proud of, Demon Lord's little girl. He said.
'Over the top!　No, I think Kaori is significantly older than me.

　I didn't ask her for details, but she said something like she knew the first generation of the Cano family, and she's usually a few hundred years old, or maybe a thousand years old if she's not.

　She looks like a loli, but she's never old enough to be a little girl.

'So,'
Hmm?　So, what's the point?
I'm an Inspector.
What do you do for a living?
Yeah, you and I have been to the battlefield of the Demon King to find out.
Huh?

　Ken and Bun?

The power is too dense, and it's getting worse with time. It's reached a point where it's no longer humanly possible to enter.
Yeah!
So they're sending their men to get a statement from you.
Oh wait.
What?

　As an inspector, Lina stared back at me with the same gritty good looks she had when we first met.

'What do you mean by subordinates?'
'I have a subordinate on the field inspection. I've been informed that it was quite extensive, and of course I won't be doing it myself. You know this from Slime Road, right?
Surely.... that means... no way!

　A terribly bad imagination went through my head.
　I felt like punching myself in the face, wondering why I'd forgotten about it until now.

"Witnesses ... a lot?

　Lina nodded quietly.

'And lots of rumors.'


　I yelped with my head in my hands, almost falling off my knees.

　Oh, my God.
　Oh, my God.
　Oh, my God.

　I didn't think that was going to happen.

　I wanted to pick a less popular spot to reduce the number of witnesses, but I'd forgotten about the inspection and the trail of the fight.

'Oh no........'

　I was seriously disappointed.

'What's the matter with you, nephew?'
Kaorie...

　Kaori approached with a tremendous amount of speed, but with a very cool face as she crouched down to peer at me from below.

''Demon King........''

　Beside me, I could see Lina gasp at the appearance of the Demon King.

'My nephew, do you have a stomach ache?'
No, I mean, what are you doing here?
That's right. My nephew is terrible. I had a feeling he'd thrown the pictures away.
How do you know?
I cast a spell that would tell me if I'd lost it properly so I could hex it.
Oh, the magic involved is such a...

　I thought for sure that if I threw it away, it would come straight to me, but I wondered why my sister didn't have anything to throw away.

'My nephew is awful,'

　Kaori said, and swung his hand sword at Hyun.
　A terrifyingly fast hand sword, he dodged it and drew his sword to fight back.

　The cutting edge grazed the tip of Kaori's nose. Kaori recoiled and dodged like a metronome, then headbutted me.

　For a short time, less than a tenth of a second, the color of anticipation mixed in Kaori's eyes.

　I was told a lot of things about "the friend who beat up the sunset and the friend who beat up the guy under the railroad bridge" after that, so I somehow understood what Kaori was looking for.
　I sighed in my mind and intercepted her with a head butt.

　Dogon!

　Head to head, head to head, a gushing shockwave.

　The easy chair is blown off and the grass on the ground peels off, creating a crater.
　Kaori came to jostle, and I went along for the ride.

　After some light (,) preparatory level hand gestures, Kaori smiled and stopped his hand.

'Yes, it's refreshing,'
Next time you do something like that, just give me a shout.
'My nephew can handle it. Besides, it's a true friend of mine that can speak with his fists, not his words.
That's a real pain in the ass.
What's with the girl, by the way?　He looks like a pigeon stuck to his elbow.
I'm going to blow you away!

　That woman there is Rina, what the hell is her face--

"Huh?

　The moment I turned to Lina, I looked like a pigeon that had eaten a peashooter.

　Lina was puzzled.
　She looked as if she had seen something terrible, something unbelievable.

''What........was that?''
"Huh?
''The fight now, it transcends the level of humans... can humans be that strong?''
Oh...

　I did it.

　If I was doing it with Kaori, I was paralyzed in my senses.
　Even the "juggling" with the Demon King was at a "great" level for a normal human.

　This, I wonder if I can stop him from talking...........
