It's Fried.

　I looked at the 'Beginning Demon King' who suddenly appeared and called his name.

''Are you sure, Master Freed?''

　Stella's voice echoed in my head.
　It seems that the telekinesis trick I used in the Zegart battle is still in effect.

''For the moment, it doesn't seem to be an enemy. And at least Judas is there too.''

　I answer with telepathic communication.

I'm sure you'll be able to get a lot of information from him if he's the Demon King. But don't let your guard down. If you detect any suspicious activity, please inform me immediately.
"Yes, sir.

　Stella replied with a telepathic message and turned to Velfer.

'My name is Stella,'
"Hmm, Freed and Stella..... I've never heard of either of those names. I thought I had grasped all of the powerful demons, but it seems there are still some fierce and awesome people in the field.
''His magic power is overwhelming, and it seems that the girl over there is also wearing a top-notch pupil technique.

　And Judas.

　He shouldn't have been acquainted with us in this world, but did he see through all of my and Stella's abilities on the first sight?
　A moment ago, he didn't give me or Stella any sign of his presence, and they got behind him, and even though the times are different, Judas is still Judas - that's what it means.

"I'd love to see you join our ranks.

　And Velfer.
　The smirk on his face was so friendly that it didn't look like a demon king.

Your camp.........?
"If you are demons, you know that we are fighting a powerful enemy. We are fighting a powerful enemy.

　Wölffer said.

'God,'
God...

　I gulped.
　Stella has a similar reaction next to me.

　A god and a demon king - are they fighting in this era?

And then there's the heavenly army led by God, the elite of men, the army of the brave. We've been fighting each other for more than a decade now, but we're not getting any better.

　The smile disappeared from Wölfer's face.

"The Heavenly Army has recently won over the humans. The special qualities that are called 'heroes' - they are tough opponents who control the armor of the gods, the Miracle Armor.

　Judah supplemented his explanation.

'Humans themselves are a race that doesn't have much power compared to the demon race. The brave men and women are an exception. They are strong enough to compete with the demon race.

　Wölfer growled.

'But I've got some good friends in my corner. Judas, of course, and others...
'Yes. We're here.
What?　Who are these people...

　With a voice, four shadows approached.

　A dragon with scales as red as fire.
　An undead clad in tattered robes.
　An indeterminate creature that looked like a slime.
　And a young woman in armor.

'Who are they?'
My close associates, the four great demon chiefs.

　At my question, Wölfer laughed happily.

''I simply pushed for the name 'Four Heavenly Kings'.
There are four of us now, but there could be more in the future.

　At Judah's words, Wölfer said.

'I think the Four Heavenly Kings are more like that...'

　Judas is strangely particular about it.
　''I see, in the past, they were not the seven great demon army chiefs, but the four great demon army chiefs.

''All of them are fierce fighters who are single combatants. Not as good as me and Judas, but all of them are over level 500.
''Our Demon Lord's class is usually around 200. Successive Demon Kings are usually around 500 to 700.

　Stella supplemented it with a telepathic message.

　Come to think of it, I got that explanation when I first met you.
　In other words, the four great demon army chiefs are close to the demon king - or they have the same level of ability?

''That's amazing.''
Right?

　At my admiration, Wölffer gave a broken smile.
　In contrast, the four demon army chiefs became colorful.

''You, what a mouthful you have for Velfer-sama!


　Oh, that's right........the "Demon King" to them isn't me, it's Velfer.
　I'm an infidel who doesn't adhere to that "Demon King".

No, that's fine. I don't like that kind of stuffy stuff.

　Wölffer won them over.

'And he is not my subject. He's a fierce man in the field. I'm trying to recruit him to join us, if you can.
Friends...?
Indeed, I sense a tremendous amount of magic...
That girl is cute too ... moe ... it's a lot of fun to fantasize about.

　There was a Demon Army Chief girl who was reacting like Olivier.

''Spare me your anger and put it away.

　Wölffer nudged the four men.

'If it's your majesty, Demon King,'

　The demon war chiefs nodded reverently.
　Then they turned to me.

'I take back what I just said. I'm sorry.
No, I'm the one who made you feel uncomfortable. I'm sorry.

　I waved to the dragon, who bent over his huge body and bowed his head.

I'm sure you'll be glad to know that a demon like you has joined our ranks. I'm counting on you.
"Let's go blow up the Heavenly army and the heroic army together!
I'll do my best too! It's nice to meet you, Mr. Freed, Stella.

　The atmosphere of this area was similar to the atmosphere when talking to Lilim and Irene or the demon war chiefs.

　Even though the times are different, they are also demons (companions) - that's how I feel.
