How much of a fight did they put up?

　There was already no one around. All there is is the scorched earth and frozen earth, and I don't know what the source of the charred material was.

　The three demons lying on the ground. And a bis*xual boy watching from a distance.

'I didn't expect them to get hit.

　Fury says with a masterful look on his face.

　It hurts. I haven't felt that way in a long time.

　Blood flowing from my cheek. The sensation in my right arm is thin. I can hear the sound of the bones in my side stirring from inside my body.

'This wouldn't have happened if you fought an army of Quotes ....... Who are you?

''I'm one of the Seven Great Demon Lords. I'm the Frauferu Airee of the Three Territories. They are known as the Furies. They are my subordinates, the three demon emperors, and they are all top class demons. They're all top-tier demons in their own right.

　I'm looking at the guys who lost to me.

　So they're strong as per the top class demon race .......

　But my strength is better than theirs. What does this mean--''But if that's the case, why did you attack me?

But if that's the case, why did you attack me?　The Weyla Empire would understand. I was trying to take the territory of the Quotes, or the demon race. But I would have been on your side.

I refused to be the Demon King, I guess.

Why don't you be the one to do that? Why do I have to be the one?

I don't know. Maybe you should ask your guild master. Besides, I--I'm not going to be the Demon King.

　You know, the one that leaves a mystery at every turn.

　Well, okay. Then we'll just ask Riff.

　He turns his back on Fury.

"...... You're not going to kill me?

What kind of person kills a client?

　No, I'm sure they're there.

　But a second round here would be too much trouble.

　If Fury doesn't have any hostility towards the guild, then I don't care. And this guy seems to be after me.

''Haha, ...... he tried to kill me. He deserved to be killed, but ...... you're naive.

Yeah, I think I did.

So what do you do when I kill your friends?　If I destroyed your important group ...... guild and country, would you still miss me?

No, I'm going to kill him.

　Without hesitation, I said.

　I wouldn't let that happen in the first place.

　It irked me more than it would have hurt me.

　I smiled with satisfaction, wondering if that was the same reaction I'd expected from Fury.

'Yeah, I suppose it would be. Rest assured, I wouldn't do that. But you really are a credit to the system.

......

You are an individual who can only be part of a group. You are an individual who can only be part of a group, and you cannot focus on the individual you are. But that's why you are the organization itself, that's why you are not an individual. You're really - you're a brave man.

It's no big deal. It's just an adventurer.

No, you're a brave man.

　I turn around. Fury was looking at me intently.

　It's something other than hostility. It wasn't resignation, hatred, or even favoritism.

'Hey, Mr. Jide,'

It's ......, okay?

''I'll send the certificate of achievement to the guild. Also, there will be a guild branch in the demon territory, so you can come back anytime. I won't become the King of Demons, but I will be in charge of the Demon Territory.

　Doesn't that mean that what he's doing as a result is the same thing as the Demon King?

　I can't read his intentions, but I'm sure he won't answer me if I ask.

''Oh, I see. Well then, next time I see you, let me know if you have a good meal.

　I said, then turned away and transitioned.
