A balding, strong-looking man with a stocky build and a bald head wearing sunglasses.

　Will the maple tree be afraid of this level of appearance?

What's going on?　Aren't you coming?　I didn't expect you to run--
You!　Don't taunt me!

　Leila pounces on the bald-headed demon king, who smiles softly as if to provoke him, with his whip ready.

''--!　Great!　Not bad!　It's not bad!

　The bald-headed demon king opens his arms to welcome Leila and smiles.

''Don't lick it!''

　Leila's swinging whip drew a supple trajectory and struck the bald-headed demon king.

''---ah!　......... Yes!　It's really good!
You!

　--Leila!　Get back!

　I look at the bald-headed demon king, who has an ecstatic expression on his face, and I make Leila step back.

''Oh?　Where are you going?

　The bald-headed demon king muttered regretfully, without losing his gentlemanly tone.

　What can this guy afford...?　What's the point...?

　

'Hmm........ Have I alerted you?　I can't help it. I need the last resort--

　The bald-headed demon king's eerie proclamation has everyone on alert with their weapons at the ready.

'In the name of the Demon King Hibiki, I command you--all living beings, be drunk with my body!　-- "Perfect Body!

　--!

　The bald-headed demon king -- the entire body of the demon king Hibiki emits a dazzling light. In the emitting light, the charcoal gray suit that the Demon King Hibiki was wearing pops off - revealing a toned body. The only thing that the Demon King Hibiki wears is the rugged iron armor attached to both arms and -- a pair of flaming crimson briefs.

　........Scary. And the image of the trembling maple flashed back to my mind.

　 It's a deep hatred that gushes out from the depths of my heart - a deep hatred. The 《Perfect Body》 was a special ability that had the same effect as my 《Intimidation》 - hate control.

''Ooooooooooh!''

　The first to be hit by the 《Perfect Body》 hate, Red, Noir and Rouge raised their blunt weapons and attacked the Demon King Hibiki.

''Hahaha. This looks painful when it hits.''

　The Demon King Hibiki laughs merrily, but with skillful body control, he ducks the blunt weapon that Noir and Rouge swung at him, while catching the blunt weapon that Red turned into a sideways slash with his iron armor.

''I'll........kill you!
I'm here!
Okay I'm coming.

　Next, Leila, Lina and Guy attacked the Demon King Hibiki.

I'm going to get it!

　Blue belatedly attacked with an axe in hand, while Chloe, Daquel, and Kureha silently shot arrows through to the Demon King Hibiki, and I, along with Flora, fired my magic at the Demon King Hibiki.

''--!　This is ... this is ... a little too intense.

　The Demon King Hibiki smiled a troubled smile and took a big leap behind him. When he raised one hand, a large group of kobolds and direwolves attacked him from deep in the forest.

''You!　You're running away!
'Haha!　Are you joking, young lady?　We just need to get a little more serious.

　Leila is enraged, but Demon King Hibiki doesn't break into a generous smile. All of them feel hatred for Demon King Hibiki, but they are prevented from acting by the Kobold and Direwolf who stand in the way.

''Haaaaa!　--This is my seriousness!

　Along with the spirit spat out, Demon King Hibiki's figure transformed.

　--!

　........Fear. The transformed figure of the Demon King Hibiki was exactly that - 'fear'.

　When he became in crimson briefs and his toned body emitted light.......he thought he understood the feelings of the trembling maple.......

　.........I was naive.

　The true fear was far beyond his imagination.

　It grew on his shaved bald head - bunny ears.

　Sprouted from the rear of the only crimson briefs he wore - a round tail.

　The strong face of the bald head with bunny ears sparingly exposes its tight muscles. The only clothing he wore was a pair of crimson briefs. Moreover, a fluffy round tail sprouted from those briefs.

''Haha. What's wrong with you?　Are you in awe of my true form, Pyon?

　

　Unashamed of his appearance, no!　

　I'm afraid......... I trembled with fear for the first time since I became the Demon King.

　

''--Kill it.''
'What?　With that?　Honestly, it's not even close to being--

　--Kill it!

　I invoked my compulsory command to turn my subordinates against each other while Blue was reluctant to do so.

　The sword that Lina swung down jumped off Kobold's neck, and the Demon King Hibiki, struck by the whip that Leila swung down, smiled in ecstasy.

　Blue's swinging axe shatters the direwolf's head, and the Demon King Hibiki, pierced by Chloe's arrow, lets out a lustrous scream.

　It's a good idea to make sure that you have the right kind of information to help you make the most of your time.

　........Hey.

　Isn't that guy happy.......?

　 Not yet!　One more! I'm shouting with a smile of ecstasy.

　The bald head, pointy head, and bunny ears alone are enough to create a traffic jam of individuality.......and now you're adding even more individuality.......

　It reminds me of the observant maple's report - ''Maybe it's the demon king that Mikan-sama is looking for...''

　The Demon King I'm looking for - a Demon King who can carry a tank.

　Once again, when I observe the Demon King Hibiki's appearance, I feel like I'm going to be taken away from all of his consciousness, but.......his evasive technique of dodging all of the attacks that seem to be dying. The skillful handling of iron armor to catch even Lina's sword, and the durability of smiling ecstatically while being pierced by multiple arrows. Furthermore, she has also mastered a special ability that allows her to control hate.

　And the biggest point - unlike ordinary humans and demon kings, he has the mental power to not run away from enemy attacks.

　Indeed, he fits the character I'm looking for.

　I'm sure he's got a lot of problems, but this is a genius that I'm not going to miss.

　--I order you all!　Capture the Demon King Hibiki!

""What?"

　All of them -- even Chloe and Leila, who have faith beyond loyalty -- look at me in disbelief.

　--Catch them!

　I was to send orders to all of them again.


　◆


　An hour later.

　Countless dead kobolds and direwolves surround them. And the wounded Demon King Hibiki.

"Hahaha..... My life ends here, too...

　The Demon King Hibiki, surrounded by his subordinates with weapons at the ready, let out a murmur with a satisfied expression on his face.

'Demon King Hibiki I will give you a chance. Be my subordinate.
"My men...　I can't do that after killing all my men........
Bastards!　Don't you understand the mercy of Zion-sama!

　Chloe is enraged by the Demon King Hibiki refusing my recommendation. I'm not going to be able to get a good look at it.

　No way--!

Hey, man. Hey, you pervert. Tell me you're a pervert.

　I throw the words at the Demon King Hibiki while giving him a cold stare.

''--!　

　The Demon King Hibiki responds to my words somewhat happily while denying it.

'Descend to me. I'll put your worthless life to good use.''
Making good use of it, huh?
Yes. I'll use you as a meat shield, I'll give you a lot of trouble.
What--?
All right, now get the f*ck out of here.
And yet...
'Don't give me your opinion, meat shield!　To me, your master, only yes!　You understand!
Yes, yes....

　The Demon King Hibiki nodded a small nod, his cheeks turning red.


　◇


　30 days later. (One year and ten months after becoming the Demon King.)

　The areas I control are Kanazawa City, Kahoku, Kahoku, Hakui, Hakui, Hakui, Nanao, Wajima and Kashima counties, bringing the total number of areas under my control to more than 200.

　The only area left to unify the northern part of the prefecture is Suzu City.

　A decisive battle with humanity was about to begin to unite the northern area of the prefecture.
