When I spoke that name, the demons gaze became even more filled with hatred and glared at me.
“Wa——that naive woman, there’s no way she could take such an action!!”
“Oioi. She is your ruler you know.”
Well, I agree that she’s naive/soft Demon Lord though.
For a Demon Lord, Sherfa does have much too soft of an image. She’s always fair and square, hates taking hostages, and she herself said that she likes humans. After the previous Demon Lord died, she came to us to even brag proudly that she has succeeded the position. But that doesn’t mean she was human-like though.
Strength is everything in the Demon continent so whoever is strong automatically becomes right or so they say. She’s a type that swing her fist before speaking. Truly very demon-like. She still claims to like humans though.
“Like I care. A demon lord that doesn’t try to revive the Demon God-sama can’t be called a Demon Lord.”(demon)
[Revive the Demon God.]
This is the first I’m hearing of this. I ended up tilting my head at that. By the way he is speaking, it’s as if they can revive the Demon God at any time.
“What do you mean? The Demon is dead. Renji-niichan killed—-“(souichi)
“hmph. You think I’ll speak all that? C’mon, hurry up and kill me.”(demon)
“Hah?”
“There’s only death for the loser. I’ll be killed if I return anyway.”
No, there’s no way you’d have won with such military forces in any case, I could only feel amazed.
Even though they’re clever at weirdly specific things, their war-related stuff is the same as one year ago.
“As if I care.”(renji)
Saying that, the jade sword turned to magical energy and disappeared.
“Aya, I’m done so you can stop now.”(renji)
“Yes.”
The gravity prison holding the Demon also disappeared with that. Maybe feeling lighter due to the cage suddenly disappearing, the demon also fainted.
Revival of the Demon God eh?
While seeing Aya walk towards us, I sighed.
“Seems like trouble again……I really hate this.”(renji)
“Renji-niichan does get involved in all sorts of troubles don’t you?”(souichi)
Souichi said that sounding somewhat happy/amused.
As for me, I really, seriously want to be pardoned from all this.
“Trouble comes to me. Also, stop speaking like I intentionally get involved in trouble, will you?”(renji)
“Eh?”(souichi)
“…….huh?”(renji)
[What the hell are you saying suddenly?]
Why did I get a question mark in answer to that? I really do intend to avoid trouble you know? But trouble always seems to find me instead. If this is also a part of the Different world transfer compensation (cheat) given to us, I can only despair.
Also, Ermenhilde’s usual amazed, fed up words was digging into my chest.
Did I do something to make it mad? While I was thinking that, Aya came and stood beside me.
“……………”
“……………”
“……………”
[…..Why are all 3 of you not speaking anything?]
Well, who knows?
For some reason, Aya seemed nervous, so me and Souichi also ended up keeping quiet.
Ermenhilde, as usual, couldn’t read the mood at all.
“um, long time no see, Renji-san. Thank you for saving me back then.”(aya)
“n, long time no see, Aya. I promised didn’t I? That I’ll save you if you were in danger.”
Saying that, I pointed my palm towards Aya. When I did that, Aya, somewhat happily, also struck my palm with hers making a *pachin* sound.
When we travelled together back then, whenever we succeeded in something or if something good happened, we always high fived. Feeling nostalgic, I also smiled.
I had been thinking about how to meet them and what to talk but with just this, I feel happy that I met them.
“You seem tired but, did something happen?”(renji)
“Ah, no, nothing……..”(aya)
She seemed happy just now but suddenly hung her head again. Did something happen, I wonder?
Or maybe I did something bad?
Thinking till there, I remembered that I had not sent even a letter to her in the past one year.
