The demons attacked Matty under Grandpa's compulsory orders, but they were returned in an instant.

　.........Hmm, they were weaker than I thought.
It's a [Highest Rank] [Training King] demon, and I thought I could do a bit more.
　He was breathlessly saying that he could defeat even a mythical grade demon, but where did the confidence come from?

''Shh, instantaneous killing........What a surprise, the King Tamer demons were defeated in just a few seconds......!　And only one of them...!　Who would have expected that the King Tamer, who had reigned supreme for so long, would be brought down so easily.......''

　The venue, which had been cheering loudly a moment ago, was now filled with a watery silence.
　But gradually the applause began to rise everywhere and then the cheers came back.

'We have a new champion!'
"King Tamer Alleluia!
It's gonna be another long administration.

　The old man's face was downcast and he was shaking.



　He was so shocked, his bloodshot eyes looked like they were about to pop out of their sockets, and the blood vessels all over his face were sticking out.
　You can't raise your blood pressure too high, it's dangerous for your age.

　Matty came back to me.

"Hmm?

　No, something's wrong.

"Kukku, did you think I was going to sit here and wait for you to be your squire forever?
"Hmm?
Hm, no, you f*cking bastard.

　Matty glares at me with wariness.
　And that's when I notice something strange.

'Is the slavery magic being lifted?
'Gah hahaha!　You finally realized that!　There is no way I could break your servitude spell if I had my own power!　You underestimated me!

　The slavery spell that had bound Mattie's freedom had been released before she knew it.
　Now Matty is like a dog off the lead.

I'm not going to be able to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it, but I'm going to say that I'm not going to be able to do anything about it. It's not a good idea to take on a bunch of people at the same time, but it's hard for me to take on both of them at the same time. You're adding an extra layer of uncertainty to the mix.

　Matty spits as he looks at Befi and the others.

'But remember, one day I'll make up for this debt, I promise!

　And with that, he spread his wings and flew off into the sky.

'Matty, House,'

　Immediately after, Matty falls from the sky at a high speed.

''Gaaaaaaaaaah!

　I was knocked to the ground as it was.

What do you mean...?

　I taught Matty, who was grunting in the sand, a lesson.

'There's no reason why you should be able to sneak a double dose of slavery magic on me. You underestimated me. So keep up the good work.

　Matty was in a five-body throwing stance in an instant.

'I'm sorry, Master Samaa!


　　　　　◇ ◇ ◇


　A few days after the King Tamer Cup was over, I was summoned by someone to a shop in the City of Monsters.
　I had been summoned by someone to a certain restaurant in the City of Monsters.

''It's a tavern in a pretty hole-in-the-wall place, isn't it?''

　The interior of the restaurant, which was located down a dimly lit staircase, however, was magnificent, with an air of luxury.

'Oh, you're welcome.'

　The one who stood up at the back of the store and called out to me in a reassuring manner was the old man who lost to me the other day.
　There were no other customers.

I've reserved the place for myself today. "We've reserved the place for you today," he said.
"Hmm, is that why you called me here?
Ho-ho, that's right.

　I walk up to my grandfather.

'Do you have a drink?'
I don't drink much, but I can't drink much either.
Ask for what you want. The wine is good here.

　As he said this, the old man raised his hand with an air of calling for a clerk.
　But there was no one in the store who looked like that.
　It's not a customer or even a clerk.

　--There are plenty of other signs, though.

But first, there's something I'd like you to try.

　Immediately after the old man lifted the corner of his mouth in a grin, those who had been lurking in various parts of the store emerged one by one.
　Then they surrounded me.

　Obviously, the atmosphere is not that of a shopkeeper or customer.

''.........Hmm, shall I ask you to explain what the hell this is all about?''

　When I asked, the evil nature of the old man came out from behind his good-natured mask.

''Ho-ho-ho!　He may be a genius trainer, but he doesn't have a clue about anything. And he hasn't even brought a single demon with him.　Don't you understand that unlike a powerful demon, a trainer who is himself only a vulnerable ordinary human being, that is his greatest weakness? What an idiot you are!　Ho ho ho!

　The people surrounding me start to sneer in response to my grandfather.

Do you know why I've been sitting on the throne of the king tamer for all these decades?

　The old man suddenly asked me such a question.
　But before I could answer, he continued, "The secret is very simple.

Before I could answer, he continued, "The secret is very simple. You have to eliminate talented trainers. My position would be in jeopardy if a person of my rank were to appear in the top tier. So I must nip it in the bud.

　That's why this city only had this old man for [the most senior position].
　That's the worst kind of old man.

''Honestly, it wasn't so difficult after I took control of this city. --Until you showed up.

　The old man twisted his face in an abhorrent manner and shouted.
　Then he turns his grudge-laden eyes on me, while his mouth forms a smile.

Normally I should have killed him before the tournament, but it's no use. You should be relieved. I'll make sure the body gets home.
