Welcome back. You're back early.

　With Saburou under my command, I created the 【Transition Device】 and returned to the canon.

''Since the Demon King appeared on the third level.
Oh, my........who's in the back?

　Kanon was perceptive and noticed the presence of Saburou in the background.

'That dumb demon king who appeared.
Huh?　You've made them your family?
No. [Surrendered]
Wow. I knew it would be easier for your recommendation to succeed if Mr. Theon himself went to the meeting.
Yeah.

　I think about it while having an idle conversation with canon. Depending on Sablow's future activities, it's not a bad idea to increase the number of Demon Kings under my command. This time, though, I'd like to make a Demon King who feels a little more intelligent under my command.

''By the looks of it, is he a demon king of the same bloodsucking species as Sion-san?
Yeah. Well, the name is...

　I interrupted my thoughts and tried to answer a question from the canon that kept the conversation going.

'We haven't seen you!　Beautiful fairy princess......... I am the kindred spirit of Lord Theon, the emperor who rules over the darkness. Dark--
It's Saburo.

　I interrupt Sablow's mouthing of the name fraudulently, with my eyes shining against canon.

''Uh, uh, uh... Dirk Saburou-san?''
No!　My name is Dar--
"It's just 'Sabraw,'

　I will correct Sablow's mouthpiece that tries to continue the fraud.

''Sion-san do you have a minute?

　--Subrow. Stay where you are!

　I'm called by canon to move a little further away. I order Saburo to stay where he is.

'Oh, is she okay?'
The head?　Unfortunately, by the time we met, it was too late.
How could you have that kind of demon king under your command...
''No, I'm sorry about your head, but your [body] and [magical power] rank is a B.''
That's indoor only, right?
''[Physical] had a bare status of B, right? [Magical power] is a C.
''Ugh ... a useful subordinate, isn't it? I'm a little afraid of the way she's looking at me, sir?
Don't worry. I won't hurt you.
''--na!''

　The whispered conversation with Kanon is cut short prematurely.

''Sion-sama may I have a moment?''

　As I break off the conversation with canon, Sabraw calls me next.

'What?'
'Could that beautiful fairy - My Destiny who descended into this world - have created me if I raised the ranks of creation?

　What?　What is this guy.... I'm seriously disgusted by this guy.

''Impossible. Kanon is a former Demon King just like you.
!　

　--Shut up!

　The SAN value was about to break through the limit, so I forced Sablow's mouth shut.

''If you mess with canon, I'll kill you?''
"--?　Excuse me!　Don't tell me that Kanon-tan has already been working with Sion-sama--

　--Shut up!

Canon!　If I kill this guy now, can I gain experience?
!
Well, uh..........you can't do that since you won't gain any experience by defeating your own people.

　Sablow looks astonished at my serious statement, and Kanon answers with a wry smile. Hearing Kanon's answer, I let out a grand cluck of my tongue.

　After that, Saburo is given a dugout that he created on a different level from the living quarters where me, Kanon and the rest of the household live, and the place is dismissed.


　◆


　Ten days after adding Sablow to their control.

　Lina and Chloe had been expanding their control territory in order. If things proceeded in order, they predicted that the invasion of their destination, the control realm where the two Demon Kings were rumored to exist, would be three days later.

　Although he had controlled three dominion realms since he had taken control of Saburou, he hadn't been able to bring in a new Demon King as his ruler. The main reason was that unless it was an indoor type of control realm, I couldn't go out there myself.

　Was it better to make my evolutionary destination a Daylight Vampire?

　Darkness--indoors, they are a bloodsucking species with unparalleled strength, but their inability to fight outdoors has become a major hindrance here.

　Attacking it in the night time alone.........is an impossible task. Nevertheless, exposing this body in front of the enemy in the weakened state of daytime is too big a risk.

　 That's why I was greatly dissatisfied with the current situation where there was little means to add the Demon King under my command.



　In the middle of Kanon flying in while shouting my name, I let out a small scream when I see Saburou, who had come by chance, in the middle of the flight.

''Hm?　Kanon?　Is something bothering you?　My people may look like this, but they are discreet. Now, as the same executive who supports Master Theon, you can consult with me about anything!
Well, uh, uh...

　The canon starts to tremble as Sablow spreads his arms out to block his path.

'Tight-lipped?　You don't have the right to remain silent to me.　And by the way, you're not an executive.
'Hahaha!　Is Master Theon still planning to test my power?　Rest assured. The item given to me by Master Theon has made me even more powerful. However, I have no intention of using this power for anyone other than Master Theon and Canon-tan.
Saburo. We have invaders in 35th Control Territory. Go intercept them with Dhampir and Living Mail. --Transition B

　I give orders to the long-talking Saburo and force him to transfer to the 35th dominion territory.

''Thank you!''

　Kanon expresses his gratitude to me in a tone that is filled with emotion.

''d*mn, Kanon, you should get used to Saburo for good.
What?　I can't!

　Kanon responds to my words with an immediate response.

'Well, okay. What do you want?
Oh?　Yes, sir. I've found some interesting information.
Information of interest to you?
Yes. Please look at this one.

　As Kanon said this, he stopped at my shoulder and held out a small smartphone screen.

'To our kindred and bitter enemies, M. I wish to build a network of kindred spirits.

　I wish to build a network of kindred spirits. I present the following text as proof that I am one of your people. If you understand this message and feel that we can cooperate with each other, please send me an email at the following address.

　H: S1, R2, B3, W3, G5

　--?

What's this?

I don't know, have you been looking at SM sites?
No, no!

　My fellow countrymen and enemies, M's - I suppose "fellow" means just that. I surmised that the enemy is the fight over the queen, but isn't it?

I'm afraid that's what it means.

　The canon began to explain the meaning of the sentence he showed me.
