「I’ll erase you without leaving behind any ashes.」
——Hn? Wasn’t I lacking a bit in words?
Raising a scream, the guard readied his halberd.
「Uoooh——!? You’ve revealed your true colors, haven’t you, you damned Demonic Being!」
Even Rem and Shera panicked.
「Di, Diablo!? You don’t have to get that angry! We’ve already grown accustomed to being misunderstood like this!」
「That’s right! Whatever the case may be, to not leave behind even ash is just too pitiable, you know!?」
「Stupid Shera, the problem isn’t about the ashes, you know!?」
「Y, yeah, that’s true! But, if there isn’t any ash, it’d be troubling when making the grave, wouldn’t it!?」
The guard started trembling enough that you could tell that he was even though he was wearing armor.
「Uugh……Getting erased……by a Demonic Being……These guys……They’re debating over whether to leave ashes or not!? Damn it! Don’t underestimate Faltra’s local knights! Even if my blade can’t reach you, I can at least show you that I can oppose you enough to inform my comrades of the crisis!」
He was completely in the mood to fight.
Diablo panicked.
——If things get worse with this local knight, it’ll turn into me getting an investigation, won’t it?
If that happens, he’ll get separated from Shera.
He’ll become unable to protect her.
And above all, Diablo needed to stop the war between the Humans and the Elves.
This wasn’t the time to be questioned by a guard in a place like this.
Certainly, he might be to blame for the way he talked. However, he thought that the guard was strange for arbitrarily deciding he was a Demonic Being just because he had horns growing out of him for a bit and because he was leading girls that looked like slaves around.
Right now was a critical moment that would decide if war would occur or not.
It should be alright to forgive him. He himself was carrying the heavy responsibility of avoiding the war.
The guard might get angry about the slight exaggeration and the insufficient wording but……
It’s can’t be helped. Let’s talk about the circumstances.
Surely, he’ll come to understand.
Diablo resolved himself, and decided to explain the critical situation that was drawing near this town.
「If you oppose me, this town shall be turned into scorched earth.」
「Damned Demon! I absolutely won’t let you!」
The guard raised his halberd over his head.
——That sure is strange!? Why is it that everyone flies into a rage everytime this happens!?
He wasn’t willing to be one-sidedly struck at.
Reluctantly, Diablo took out 《The Staff of Tenma》.
However, just like the attacker from before, it seemed like he would kill him if he were to use magic.
What should he do?
「Hold it, hold it, hold it——!! This person might be like this but he isn’t a dangerous person!」
A small shadow rushed in between Diablo and the guard.
It was Sylvie.
The guard raised a surprised voice.
「Y, you……Aren’t you the Adventurer’s Guild Guildmaster!? Why are you sticking up for a Demonic Being!?」
「Calm down, okay? Although this person has horns, he’s someone of the Races. He’s accepted a request from me and the Feudal Lord, and has now come to meet with the Feudal Lord.」
「……This guy isn’t a Demonic Being? Is he not dangerous?」
「Y, yeah……He’s a normal Demon, probably……I wonder if there isn’t any danger? Diablo-san, you aren’t dangerous, right? I’d really like for you to say that you “aren’t dangerous”.」
Sylvie took a glimpse over this way.
If she went that far to say that, to Diablo, there was no mistake.
He nodded looking composed.
「”I’m not dangerous”. 」
「Thank goodness! So, with that being the case, we’ll be going on through, ‘kay? That’s fine, right? Right? Right?」
Sylvie put both hands together and slightly tilted her head.
The guard staggered.
「……C, cute……Ah, no! I, I understand. Since it is the Adventurer’s Guild Guildmaster talking, I shall let you through.」
The guard lowered his halberd.
Not just Slyvie, Rem and Shera also breathed a sigh of relief.
Diablo also felt a similar relief but since making that kind of behaviour wasn’t Demon King-like, he kept it only to his inner thoughts and hurried on.
「Let’s go!」
「Yeah, let’s hurry, let’s hurry.」
「……Good grief.」
「Hey, hey, as I thought, it would be troubling if ashes aren’t left behind, wouldn’t it?」
Diablo led the three in going through the gate and entered the Central District.
