——It looks like the reason he picked a fight with me wasn’t just because of demi-human discrimination.
Rem was also a Pantherian and a demi-human, but the called her with a “-sama” attached.
Also, this is a minor detail but, he should have been calling Celes by her surname as “Lord Bordorel” in front of her. He also called Rem as “Rem Galeu-sama”.
He’s a guy that’s two-faced, isn’t he.
In any case, with something about Diablo seeming to have annoyed him, he was letting out that stress with the benefits of being a group and the influence of alcohol.
For this kind of person, it’s best to not engage him.
「If you’re going to make a racket, do it some place I’m not at. I don’t possess ears to squander over a little one’s bullshit.」
「You……You……I won’t forgive you for that! Kufu!」
The wire man smiled.
It was an unpleasant feeling smile.
Having a bad premonition, Diablo focused on his opponent.
「Won’t forgive me, you say?」
「Yeah, that’s right! You should regret speaking that way to me……No, to “us”.」
——So he’s relying on the advantage of numbers.
Once again, he counted the number of opponents.
It was still fifteen people.
Each and every one of them were competent enough, but to fight them all together, it was a bit of a bothersome number.
However, since Rem and Shera had expectations and were hoping he were a Demon King, he couldn’t possibly withdraw here.
「Well now, aren’t you people the ones going to be regretting things, and not me?」
「Fufun……After this, you’ll be begging for your life! Take a good look!」
Galark took out something from within his robe.
It was a crystal the size of a baseball.
Diablo recognized that crystal.
「A summoned beast, huh.」
「That’s right! Having a status that is close to the Magicians Society’s head, I am excellent as a summoner! I possess a summoned beast that crush the likes of you with a single twist! Now then, if you don’t want to meet with a painful end……kneel down! Why don’t I have you apologize for the numerous impudent occurrences you have committed!」
*Waa waa* (cheers), the followers were getting excited.
Diablo tilted his head.
「Numerous impudent occurrences? What are you speaking of?」
He wasn’t self-aware of it, but he wondered he did something. He probably did.
Because he was bad at communicating, this kind of trouble happened a lot, and was troubling. Even though he didn’t have any hostility or ill will, before he knew it, his enemies increased.
——I knew it, something like human relationships is too much of an impossible game.
For Diablo who had come to this other world and continued in this Demon King role play, he thought that he was somehow able to interact with others but……
For them to be aggressive towards him without telling him the reason like this, his craving to be a shut-in was welling up.
No, this man might just be special. Let’s not abandon any hopes.
