117 4 To Demon Castle




 The strongest dragon species of the "moth" - the "Flame Dragon" Jade Ga Zelfed.
 This is the immortal demon with unlimited life force and excellent magic powers - 'Lord Undead' Hazel.
 An indeterminate creature that nullifies all attacks - "Void" Nabam, the "Formless Demon".
 The female demon tribe that boasts of the strongest swordsmanship - 'Lightning' Alfina.

 All of them are powerful demons that have a strength approaching that of the previous demon kings.
 They are the four great demon warlords of this era.

''Hey, why don't you show us your magic power?

 A huge dragon - Jade stared at me.

I'm sure you've heard the words of Master Wölffer, but I still want to see it with my own eyes. Whether or not you are strong enough to be recognized by the Demon King.
I understand.
Mr. Freed!
It's okay. It's a good thing you're a force to be reckoned with. Especially for a guy like Jade.

 I returned the telekinesis to Stella, who spoke to me with telekinesis.

 I'm sure you'll be able to find a great deal more to say about it.
 I'm sure you'll be able to gain the trust of the public by showing them a part of my abilities.

I'm going to lightly release my magic. It's 10 percent for starters.

 I used my flying magic to fly up to the middle of the sky so as not to cause collateral damage.
 I stop at a point about 100 meters above the sky and release about 10% of my magic power.

 Goooooooooh...!

 A roaring sound and an explosion of flame, popped out.

 A dark purple aura rose from my entire body.

 The strongest, most powerful demon king's magic power of all time.
 A part of it is visualized, and it blows up with an amount of heat that can burn even space.

"What the...? Ten percent and this is it?!

 Below me, Zied groaned.
 The other three Demon Army Chiefs were also stunned.

''It's tremendous.''
Well, you're not just anyone.

 Velfer and Judas were looking at me with serious faces.

''Ah ... as expected of you, Mr. Freed.

 Stella's cheeks were stained with enchantment.
 I released my magic for a moment, then returned to the ground.

'Awesome, you!'
Well, I'm sure Master Wölffer will approve.

'I wonder if that girl is as strong as you think she is? I'm going to moan.

 The demon war chiefs rushed over to me.
 There was one demon tribe that felt differently, but that's not the point.

I'm glad to see that everyone is convinced. I'm happy to see some of your power myself.

 Wölffer smiled at us.

'If you don't mind, you'll have to stay at the Demon King's Castle for a while. 'Fried, Stella.'
'I'm interested in you guys, too. I'd like you to take it a little slower, if you can.

 And Judah.

'What do you think, Stella?'
'Not that there isn't some kind of plot but it seems to be quite favourable and it doesn't seem to be a trap.'
Yeah, I think so.

 This is how Stella and I ended up staying at the Demon King's Castle.
 While searching for information about the past world, I must also search for the modern-day demons who have wandered into this world.



 Stella and I entered the Demon King's Castle with Welfar and the others.

 Although the construction of the castle is the same as the castle of my era, it is not damaged at all and the interior of the castle is magnificent.
 Stella and I walk down the long corridor.

 I'm not going to be the only one.

 This is the world of the past.
 I'm not sure if the arrival of Stella and I here will change history.

 If history changes, the events of the future will also change.
 Or is it possible that me, Stella and the other demons will no longer be born.......

''What's wrong, Mr. Freed?''

 Stella looked at me suspiciously.

'Well yeah, a few thoughts.

 I say, and I explain my current thoughts to Stella.

'What do you think, Stella?'
Well there are two ways of thinking about it, I suppose.

 And, Stella.

'The first is that the future will be changed, just as Freed-sama fears. In some cases, those who existed in the original history might disappear. Of course, those 'those who might disappear' will include me and Master Freed.
'Well...'

 I might disappear, or each other, or both.

 It's a horrifying story just to imagine it.
 The thought of not wanting to lose them comes from my chest.

"Master Freed....

 Stella reaches out to me.
 I gently take her hand in mine.

 A small, soft hand.

 A warm hand.

"Oh I'm sorry, too.

 Stella blushed and pulled her hand away as if in a panic.

'No, it's fine,'

 Smiling, me.

'Well, um, back to the point...'

 Stella grimaced with an embarrassed grin.

Secondly, the world is starting to branch out.
Branching out?
"In other words, apart from the 'original world of history' as we know it, there will also be a 'world whose history has been changed' because of our coming in the past - the world will branch into two.
I see...

 It's also possible that this one is just as likely.
 I wonder which is the right answer.

 And then I stopped.
 While we were talking, we arrived at the guest room that had been prepared for us.

'Oh, you've reached your room.

 Stella is also looking at that guest room.

''........Hmm? I was ushered to use this room.
...me too.

 We looked at each other.

 Could it be that we're in the same room...?
