Atofe definitely does not understand it very well.
She's nodding with the same face Eris when she says "I understand" when she really doesn't.
This kind of answer means that Atofe probably won't be taken along by Gisu's cajolery.
"So then, is the talk over?"
"Yes."
Thus, I gained Atofe's cooperation.
The Death God and the Immortal Demon King.
Getting the two people who defeated me to this side feels like a large advantage.
I don't know where Gisu is or what he's doing, but it looks like things are favorable so far.
But I'm glad. At first I was thinking it would turn into a fight and was on guard, but it's great that we won't have t——
"Okay, now let's duel!"
——Huh?
"Earlier, you said [before we fight]! Our conversation is over. Then, next we fight!"
Huh? I said something like that?
No, but, huh?
I gave her alcohol, and was forgiven.
She promised to fight on my side… there shouldn't be any more reason to fight.
That's strange, Orsted never told me about any of this.
"I am the Immortal Demon King, Afoteratofe Raibaku! Heroes, all three of you, come at me at once!"
Why the hell…
I'm bewildered.
Roxy also has question marks above her head.
The elite guards aren't moving, so this is probably the Atofe Standard[8].
However, an astonished atmosphere is floating this way.
Moore has a "There's no helping it" kind of expression.
There's only one person who stepped out in front as if to say she's been waiting for this.
"I'll be your opponent."
It's Eris.
As if the distance to her opponent doesn't matter, she walked right up in front of Atofe and brought her face close.
"Hoh, you want to fight me one-on-one?"
Their faces are close enough that you could think they may be about to kiss.
"There's no need for Rudeus to take on someone like you."
"You've said too much, little girl."
Atofe fell for that obvious provocation, and let out killing intent.
"In these past 100 years, you're the only one to say something like that to me."
If she wasn't holding a bottle in each hand, that would have been a cool line.
However, if she fights like this, the bottles will surely break…
Or so I was thinking, but Moore said "I shall take care of these" from beside them, and carried them away.
"Someone like you is fitting to be one of my elite guards. I'll beat you to a pulp and make you my subordinate."
"If you lose, will you do what Rudeus says?"
"Sure."
Fight, win, make an ally!
Easy to understand means something like this, huh.
I messed up.
I made a bit of a misunderstanding.
'I'll give you something so forgive me for earlier, and I'll give you something else so become my ally' is too complicated for Atofe!
In any event, I knew from the beginning that it would likely turn into a fight.
Fight, win, and make Demon King Atofe into a supporter.
We made plans for that, and properly prepared.
Let's do it.
Thus, our fight with Demon King Atoferatofe began.
