Swelling with anger, Kannon spoke to the man inside through the door.
Then, the door opened.
Inside was a red-haired man wrapped in a black mantle.
As he hated the sun the most, his skin was white to the point of being pale.
No matter how much he’s told that it was an awful farce for him to have hair red like the sun, he really liked that hair color.
Due to that, he did not cut his hair for a couple of hundred years, causing it to extend to around the middle of his back and it was tied up using a thread of dragon’s beard.
“It’s been a long time, third general of the Demon Lord army, Vampire Earl Valf.”
“It’s been a long time. You’ve sure become good at mimicking humans, Devil Kannon.”
At the same time he said that, Valf’s malice strengthened, causing the 2 horns that Kannon was hiding to appear.
“One corner of the seal on Demon Lord-sama has been lifted. I’ve told you that we don’t have time. If your business is completed then hurry up and begin your work. You have an order from Field Marshal-dono to investigate the Arundel Kingdom. I will have you immediately embark on it.”
“What will Earl be doing?”
“I have business to take care of in Dakyat. Even now I have new pawns that are moving for me.” (TL: ‘I’ said with a nuance of arrogance – Wagahai)
“New pawns … are you using humans as toys again to play around with? What a disgusting hobby.”
“Aren’t you the same? Did she say Malina? She’s an interesting talent. I also want to obtain a chess piece like her.”
When Valf said that, Kannon’s malice swelled.
Valf’s pupil which were black were dyed red as blood.
“You will not be let off lightly if you put your hands on Malina.”
“It seems like you take a fancy to humans quite a lot. Very well. Even though she has an unusual job, it’s a strange job that is not suited for battle. I’ll leave her be. Don’t forget, Kannon. Demon Lord-sama’s resurrection is close.”
Valf left with those words and his figure disappeared with black smoke.
Then, Kannon who was alone snorted and said.
“Naturally, I know such a thing even if you don’t mention it.”
