Story 4-2: 『Demon King』
The Demon Goddess ssiah sleeps in the Forest of the Demonic Dragon.
It would be simple for her to throw this world into chaos.
People rembered the disaster of the past with fear, and would imdiately desperately hunt that person down.
It was information dangerous enough to shake the world.
“… How do you know sothing like that, Lily? Weren’t you sealed up until the other day?” (Daichi)
“That’s right. However, I knew it beforehand. The fact that Garfunkel hid ssiah-sama in this dungeon.” (Lily)
She began to talk more about the events from those days.
“Rember when I originally spoke about betraying humans for the demon’s side in【Scorching Execution Ground】? This is a continuation of that.” (Lily)
“When I beca a demon I imdiately brought information related to Claria. She had Transfer Gates that connected the world we lived in to this one in various places. Because of that it seed that she could replenish her dead. ssiah-sama understood the reason why the amount of human soldiers didn’t decrease even when they were killed and placed Akina as a commanding officer, forming a special attack unit. The role of the unit was to destruct the Transfer Gates. With the Transfer Gates destroyed one by one, Claria began having trouble replenishing her forces and the situation tilted in the demons’ favor. It was enough that we thought we could win by continuing as we had been… However, that didn’t go well. Claria summoned the strongest human ever—Terias.” (Lily)
“It beca a tragedy from there. Terias was a monster. With a single swing of his sword he’d kill tens, hundreds of demons. Akina lost, with Fantra also beaten, the demi-human tribe entirely annihilated. We were the last ones remaining. It was a fierce battle. Even if us three from the Six Demon Generals grouped up, we were no match. In the end, ssiah-sama strained her own power to bury that guy… her injuries were not normal. ssiah-sama weakened, and we also didn’t have the energy to fight. Therefore, in the hopes of soday restoring the demon’s side, we each were sealed in dungeons. It was Garfunkel that was to take responsibility for hiding ssiah-sama. Therefore, that’s how I know… Satisfactory, Hero-sama?” (Lily)
“Y-yeah… That was more than I imagined.” (Daichi)
… Yeah. Much more.
Terias’ power from the past war. The story was different from what I read from the books in the library.
“Well then, I have another. Want to hear it?” (Lily)
“By all ans.” (Daichi)
“… In her last monts ssiah-sama constructed a ritual for us to summon a hero as a counterasure against Terias for the sake of the demons. Not to be summoned that ti, but in the future. The one summoned by that—” (Lily)
Lily pointed her sharp nail towards .
“… ?” (Daichi)
At first, I was the only one to manifest a Unique Ability, 『Revenge of the Resented』. Since Fuuko and Yuina also gained『Crimson Eyes of Destruction』and『Chant Substitution』later, it was probably from ssiah falling in love at first sight.
Then, that ans I was under ssiah’s watch since the ti that I ca to this world… the mont I was completely discarded from Claria’s hands in【Rigal’s Den】, my hidden power arose.
As the hero summoned by ssiah.
Therefore, the Hero of Demons. The demon’s hero is not on the side of humanity. Then, I… I am definitely—
“However, Claria is not a fool. It is conjecture on my part from here… but she probably sensed it in advance. Therefore, when she summoned Sajima and the others, her reason was to kill the Demon King. To kill the hero that ssiah-sama summoned… In other words, Hero-sama. You are—the Demon King.” (Lily)
—the enemy of mankind.
◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
We finished with that shocking story and decided to go to Gandarosu to procure weapons and equipnt, piece together a strategy, and adjust our fighting thod. Noticing that it had beco night, we decided would leave early the next day, and before long we had already each departed to our rooms.
Demon King. The king that stood at the apex of evil, controlling fiends and demons. A symbol of fear that threatened the human race.
I had vaguely guessed it. Also not engaging with Leadred, it beca logical thinking about it. Considering my situation as well, it was plenty possible. That being the case, hearing it unexpectedly just then caused my chest to tighten and thump.
First of all, I am an enemy to mankind. I’ve beco an existence that should be destroyed…
“… That said, nothing’s changed.” (Daichi)
I said as I collapsed onto the bed.
I am the Demon King for certain.
However, I am and that is just a title. I am Katsuragi Daichi. Then, I can decide what to do. Obliterate the cowards who frightened and living in the Royal Palace.
We’ve already considered things about that. Everyone talked together about it.
We will wake ssiah up first. She was just exhausted, not dead, and according has been storing up magic. Although ssiah instructed the monsters in the dungeons until now attack in order to increase my strength, it seems the treatnt I’ll have in the Forest of the Demonic Dragon will be different. There will be no attacks at all.
However, the entrance that hid ssiah was even designed by humans that so that it wouldn’t be known. This also seed to be effective against Claria, so that even that f*cking goddess couldn’t make a move.
By now, she should be upset by losing Sajima that was her greatest strength. She may soon replace him like back then.
Then now was our best chance. As soon as we find the entrance, we’ll all embark. We’ll head to ssiah and add her to our group.
Then… we’ll crush the remaining classmates as well as Claria.
“… Well then, could you cut it out already, Fuuko…” (Daichi)
“Aww.” (Fuuko)
I who had changed my decision lightly flicked the forehead of the red-eyed girl that always clung to . A pleasant *Pechin* sounded out.
The room assignnts on the third floor of the mansion were and Fuuko, Leadred and Miare, Shuri and Yuina, with Sajima, Selen, and Arianne each having their own room. The Shuraham couple were in the remaining room on the first floor.
By the way, the rights for sharing rooms with seems to have been decided by a ga of rock paper scissors. They seem to do it every night. It is… amusing. Anyway, for now I’m passing ti with the Literature Girl Fuuko-san.
… I wonder, can I survive the night…?
Although such a thing might be impolite to the girl… the only thing I see in the future is getting attacked when I fall asleep.
“W-what is it K-Katsuragi-kun… I went through great pains to enjoy this sll…” (Fuuko)
“I think a statent like that is reason enough to—“ (Daichi)
“What’s bad about slling the fragrance of your beloved person!?” (Fuuko)
It’s no good, this girl. I have to do sothing quickly.
I turned towards Fuuko who was breathing roughly and looked at her with cold eyes. Reacting to that she embraced my body.
“K-Katsuragi-kun… Please, don’t look at with such cold eyes… I may awake to a whole new world.” (Fuuko)
I wanted Fuuko to learn by example and be positive, or perhaps I should say I wanted to challenge her. Although she’s always so docile, I wondered what kind of character she has always hidden away in her chest. When thinking that, I was glad to see a new side to my important comrade.
“Ah, an opening! Katsuragi-kun!” (Fuuko)
Fuuko jumped at my opening and attached to , it was a pleasant feeling. In the blink of an eye she had in a hold and buried her face into my chest.
“Mm~… After all, I love this scent. It calms down…” (Fuuko)
“Are you willing to go to sleep after calming down? We have to get up early in the morning.” (Daichi)
“That’s not allowed. Because it’s… painful being away from Katsuragi-kun…” (Fuuko)
Fuuko raised her face, and kissed for a split second. A bit of the soft feeling remained.
“… Ehehe. A kiss… I did it.” (Fuuko)
She said that with a smiling face. However, she noticed for the first ti that she was face to face with him. Her expression and tone changed slightly.
She gave the feeling of fragility, of loneliness. Her words trembled slightly.
『… What’s wrong, Fuuko?』would be simple to ask. However, she would try to deny it. She would keep it to herself.
Then, what is the right thing to do?
The correct answer would be『Show through actions』.
“Eh-ah-katsuragiku…” (Fuuko)
I placed my lips on hers. My tongue invaded and entwined with hers. ssily, to indulge in it.
“… Haah… Katsuragi…kun…?” (Fuuko)
When our lips separated, there was a clear thread stretched between us. Her glossy lips rapidly increased my desire. Her cheeks were flushed. Her broken breathing was captivating, her power escaping by her defenseless exposed body. I peeked down into the cleavage of her projected breasts.
“… Fuuko… There has never once been a ti where I have lost interest in you.” (Daichi)
“–…” (Fuuko)
Fuuko’s expression trembled. Her eyes shook.
“Is that… the truth?” (Fuuko)
“Yeah. I think Fuuko is also cute… above all I find you attractive… Unfortunately I’m the kind of man that is particularly honest about that…” (Daichi)
“… Ah… Katsuragi-kun… that’s…” (Fuuko)
“… Since it is embarrassing, please don’t say any more… However, with this do you understand? I also think of you as precious. I also love Fuuko. However, it’s shaful that I cannot say you are the only one.” (Daichi)
“… No. It’s not like that. I an, right now, I am so happy…” (Fuuko)
And so even though Fuuko had stashed it away, it overflowed all at once. I caught her, and embraced her.
Fuuko spoke while crying.
… She was afraid. Even though she tried her hardest to appeal I treated her lightly and didn’t lay hands on her, yet the girls around her received my affection.
Despite that she would put on a smiling face to not worry , hiding herself as always. Due to that when just the two of them were alone together she’d reached her limit.
“Soone like has no good points. At that ti… I felt that I had returned to being soone that didn’t stand out at all… I… I was scared.” (Fuuko)
“…. I am sorry. Fuuko went through a painful experience because of …” (Daichi)
“It’s… already okay. I understand that Katsuragi-kun likes … … And—“ (Fuuko)
Fuuko’s hand extended towards my lower abdon, putting on a smile.
“… From now on… I will… experience your love as well you know?” (Fuuko)
“… As you command, plenty of it.” (Daichi)
By the third kiss, she pushed down in order to sit on top of and embrace .
