I came to the Demon King's Castle's Chamber of Unopenness.

　This is where the spirit of the previous demon king, Yulisha, lives.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find it in the same way that I can.

''It's been a long time.''

　I walked into the room and walked over to her.

　She had innocent beauty and black hair that reached to her feet.
　Due to her small size, her black robe was tattered.

''You've been neglecting me for quite some time.

　Yulisha was like a wolf in a cage.

'Totally you don't come to see me very often.

　Her cheeks puffed out like a small child's and her mouth was agape.

'Sorry. I've been busy with a lot of things.
You must be bored to death spending time alone.
I'll try to find a demon tribe that you can talk to.

　Me placating Yulisha.

　Of course, I'm assuming that it's someone who seems to be tight-lipped, of course.
　Surprisingly, Olivier's area might be good.

　She would be able to say, 'Wow!　It's tiny, it's cute, it's moe!' It's easy to imagine a response like.

'Hmm, what's up?'
... no. I had an idea of a demon who might get along with you.
"Law.
I'll bring him back.
I'm a man of my word.

　Yulisha moved her face much closer.

　Her eyes were blazingly bright.
　You might make a new friend - that's the kind of gaze you're looking for in anticipation.

''Oh, I swear to you as a demon king.
Okay, then. So, what are today's requirements?

　Yulisha asks while leaning back.

"Actually...

　I told him about the fight the other day.



"A 'power' in the basement.
Do you know anything, Yulisha?
''It is said that during the battle with the 'Beginning Demon King' Velfer, the god was greatly wounded. Maybe a part of the 'divine power' was sealed in the basement of the Demon King's Castle at that time.

　Yulisha answers my question.

''In the basement of the Demon King's Castle...?
We can only surmise from what this Liavert guy or whatever he says and does.

　The previous Demon King sighed.

''Even though he is the Demon King, there are many things that even a straw man does not understand. Or maybe it's just Velfer who knows everything.
Riavert took that power and made it that much stronger, didn't he?
"And, moreover, its power has probably crossed over into the heavens.

　Yurisha speaks in a bitter tone.

'I knew it,'

　When we defeated Liavert, he sent a rainbow of light out of the magical world.
　By now, his power may have been sent to the gods.

Soon, the gods will gain more power. And as God becomes stronger, his messengers, angels and brave men, will become stronger. And as God becomes stronger, his angels and heroes will also become stronger.
We've got to play better.

　Me sighing.

"Defense?

　Yulisha sniffed, huffing and puffing.

'It's lukewarm. Why don't you go on the offensive?
There will be many casualties on our side. Besides, I'm sure we're better off on defense than on offense.
Hmm, you're right.

　Yulisha nods.

'Whatever we do, we will have to get our pieces together for the fight.

　I said and stared at me.

''Above all, the demon army must be united around you. How is the demon army united now?　Is there a disturbance?

　A disturbing molecule──.
　It was Zegert that popped into my brain.

I can't say that he's not there.

　I groaned bitterly.

''If we can repair the Demon King's sword, the curse the gods placed on the demon race to weaken it will be lifted. If that happens, even if the heroes become stronger, they will be able to fight well enough.
Purgatory Demon King's sword...

　But as it stands, it's hard to get around to exploring it.

　There are only six pieces left.
　Where in the world is it now?

　Then it occurred to me.

　It's a good idea to use Stella's eyes to find them.



''I'm sorry. I still don't have that power at my disposal to control it.

　I asked Stella immediately, but she shook her head from side to side as if she was sorry.

'It was an extreme situation, and I was, you know, very excited, so..................

　Finally, Stella mumbles shyly.
　It's cute, to say the least.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say anything.
No, no, no, no.

　I couldn't help but look at Stella, too.
　Ever since she confessed to me the other day, I still couldn't help but be aware of it.

'If you were able to use the Eye of the Apocalypse (Apocalypse Note), do you think you could find the Demon King Sword Piece?'
'That eye is an all-seeing pupil art. I think it has a lot of potential.

　Stella nodded.

'I see. I know it won't be easy, but you'll learn it somehow.
"As you wish, Mr. Freed.

　Stella nodded reluctantly.

　─ For now, the search for the Demon Sword Piece is over for now.



''There are still a lot of wounded people.

　I sighed as I looked at the line of demons lining up at the aid station.

　The sanatorium was built near the Demon King's Castle.
　The demons who were injured in the last battle were being treated there.

''Yes, please stand in line.''
Hey, you're out of order.

　The Sixth Army, which is good at healing, has been struggling every day.
　Among them, the Demon Priest, Olivier's work is particularly impressive.
　He's casting healing spells on all sides.

''Brilliance of Healing!　The next one is also The Splendor of Healing!　And then 'The Great Recovery'!　Oh, those two people should be given an IV.

　Olivier looked at me.

'Oh, I'm sorry. I just came to check on you, carry on.

　I raise one hand to control her.

　I can't get out of her way, and I move away.

　I'm not incapable of using healing magic myself, but I'm pretty bad at it.
　Most of the Demon King's stats are biased towards attacks.

　However, that doesn't mean I can't use healing at all, so I decided to help heal those with minor injuries.

''Large Heal.''

　Even though it's not my favorite, my magic power is quite different from the other demons.
　For now, just hit 'Large Heal' in rapid succession.
　I'm not going to be able to get it right.

'Wow........in the blink of an eye.
'I can't heal some of the wounds right away, but I healed as much as I could.
Thank you!

　The demons of the Sixth Army thanked me.

　All of them were female demonkind in white robes that reminded me of doctors.
　There were humanoid types, beast types, indeterminate creatures, and even demonic beast types in a wide variety.
　And.

''Demon Lord, I'm sorry about earlier~''

　Olivier came to me.

'No, I'm the one who interrupted him. All right, get off your post.
Just in time for the break.

　Olivier smilingly tells her.

''I'm good at increasing my magic power instantly, but my magic capacity isn't very large...''

　If I were to use an analogy, it would be like having instantaneous power but no stamina.

''I'm going to take some time off until my magic power returns for a bit longer.
"Thanks to you and the Sixth Army, the wounded are recovering one by one. Thank you.

　I nudged Olivier.

''Ehehe, I don't have any direct combat skills at all. At the very least, I'll do my best with something like this.
''Each demon chief has a role to play. Your work is important.

　I smiled at Olivier through my mask.
