After talking to Regal, I returned to my office.

　The papers for today were already checked by Stella and were in a box awaiting a decision.
　She worked fast, as usual.

　I was just about to pick up the top document when there was a knock on the door.

'Enter.'
He's here.

　A female demon tribe with peach-colored hair in twin tails walked in.

　Her devilishly impressive beauty was well suited to her revealing and sensational outfit.
　A thin tail sprouted from her waist and bat-like wings sprouted from her back.

　It was one of the Seven Great Demon Army Chiefs, Dream Demon Princess (Dead Charm) Feria.

''I couldn't hold back my feelings for the Demon Lord.

　Feria winked at me with a snap.
　Just by doing that, a shiver ran down my spine for a moment, is it because she is a dreamer who half-unconsciously wields charms?

''──what, you know. It's true that I adore the Demon King, but I came here today on business. I have something to report.
"Report?
The thing is...

　Feria moved her face closer to mine and briefly told me the contents.

''........The wards of the demon world are being eroded?''
Yes, it's some kind of psychic attack spell.

　I furrowed my brow under my mask.
　As a member of the Dream Demon's household, she is an expert on spirit-based magic.

''Did the heroes do this?

　During the last invasion battle, the warding of the magic world was weakened considerably.
　The damaged parts should still be there.

　Its repair hasn't been finished, so I wonder if they launched a mental attack as a second wave.

''Hmm ... I don't know for sure, but it's probably not.''

　And Feria.

It doesn't feel like it was created by humans. Or maybe it's a divine force.
God's...?

　After a fierce battle with Liavert, the 'divine power' he had in his hands had flown out of the demon world.
　Probably, it's probably with God by now.

　That's what's eroding the wards of the demon world...?

'I don't think there will be any immediate impact, but I would advise you that it's dangerous to leave it unattended.

　His usual devilish smile disappeared and he had a completely straight face.

''If things continue as they are now.......eventually, a holy attribute spirit magic will break through the wards and descend on the demon world. If it takes it, most of the demon race will be severely damaged. If the erosion gets too bad, it's bad.
All right. As for the warding, I'll see to it.
Should I come with you?
Yeah. Can you come?
Of course I do.

　Feria smiled lustily and put her hand around my arm.
　Muffled, lush breasts pressed against my two arms.

'Wherever you go. It's not just a matter of time before you're in the bedroom.
Don't be a straight-up seducer, though, eh?

　As I smiled bitterly, Feria pulled her face closer.

Then let me ask you more straightforwardly.......what does the Demon King think about his queen?
A queen?
''The Demon King is not hereditary, so some of the previous Demon Kings have passed their bachelorhood. But what will the Demon King do?
I don't have time to think about that right now.

　I intensified my giggle under my mask.

'Huh?　But aren't you being approached by Stella?
No, no, no.

　It reminds me of the kisses and confessions I made with her.

''Well that's fine with Stella, not really.

　I scowled at my age.

'By the looks of it, it's not too late. Do you think I have a chance?

　Feria leaned in even closer.
　I'm thrilled at the feel of her ample breasts and supple body.

''........Are you wearing a charm again?''
I'm a dreamer. It's an ecosystem.

　Feria smiled seductively.

'So, what do you think?　I... I'm going to do whatever the Demon Lord wants, right?
Feria...
'Do you prefer a more innocent look?　Like Stella?　Or would you rather have your full-on s*x appeal?　Or...

　Feria twisted her body lustily, keeping her mischievous smile intact.

　How much of it was a joke and how much was serious?
　It was hard to determine what kind of attitude she had.

It's not that I'm saying this with any kind of calculation or light heartedness.

　The Dreamer Princess lets out a hot breath.

I'm being honest. If you can afford to think about the queen, I'd like to be in the running, wouldn't you?　You can have a side room if you want. Right?

　Feria lightly kissed my mask's cheek with a chuckle.



　The wards have been eroded──.
　Following Feria's advice, I left the office with her.

　I jumped up from the balcony of the Demon King's Castle with a flight spell.
　Feria also flapped her wings with her bat-like wings and followed me.

　When we reached several hundred meters above the sky, I looked at the wards.

I can't really tell the difference.

　That was my honest opinion.

　The warding itself has indeed become fragile.
　As for the part of the hole created when the brave men invaded, it has already been sealed up, but it's just a stopgap measure.

　However, I wasn't sure about the 'erosion' as Feria calls it.

　Well, she's an expert on mental magic.
　Even if I can't understand it, if Feria feels something, I'll believe it.
　And.

Wow, you've noticed the erosion. You're a true dreamer.

　A demon race flew through the sky at super speed.
　It's a beautiful boy with silver hair and brown skin - Judas.

"You need to work on your magic sensing ability a little more, Demon King. There's no question about his fighting ability, but I think he still has a lot of room for training in that area.
Can you put the apprentices on another time?
Liukai. You're quite a teacher, you know.

　Judah smiled mischievously.

'So, let's get back to the point. The wards are indeed eroding. Or, more accurately - I should say the erosion is accelerating.
