「Wait, horn growing Demon!」
The one that called him to a halt was a young Human man.
He had thick eyebrows and features that made him look like his will was strong.
His stature was tall and slender, and even though his hair in the back was short, a portion of his forelocks was long and hung in front of his face. Wearing glittering gold armor on his whole body, he carried a long sword on his waist.
Rem grimaced.
「……Emil」
「Gege」
Shera also grimaced and made a disgusted-looking face.
The young man called Emil rudely approached. He stood in a way that got in Diablo’s way.
He took a long hard look at Diablo’s face, and laughed with a *Fu*.
「You’ve got a evil looking face, don’t you.」
Diablo asked a question to Rem.
「What is with this guy?」
「……This person is the Warrior said to the be strongest in the Adventurers Association. He should also be working as the examiner for the Warrior-type occupations.」
She disinterestedly informed him as if she were reading an explanatory note or something.
Emil combed his long forelocks up.
「That’s it exactly! My name is Emil Byushelbeljel[1]! I am the Association’s number one 《Herculean Warrior》 that boasts a level of 50!」
It was an unnatural, theatrical, smug-like way of introducing himself.
Diablo naturally prepared his staff.
When he played the game, he often received challenges from opponents that introduced themselves like this, and he kicked them all about.
——No, calm down. This isn’t the game nor is it my dungeon. He’s not necessarily a challenger.
Abasing himself to someone inferior would harm his majesty in regards to Rem and Shera but there was also that matter with Galak. It would probably be better to not have any speech or conduct that would pointlessly incur another’s enmity.
He kept in mind his usual interactions so as not to provoke him.
「Whose permission did you acquire to name yourself in front of me, brat?」
Not only Rem and Shera, even the other adventurers were astonished and stiffened.
Emil expressed a daring smile.
「Permission? Fu, same to you, whose permission did you obtain!? Listen up Demon, you might not know this, but I absolutely love women!」
「Ha?」
「You who put chokers on Rem-chan and Shera-chan and paraded about with them, I won’t forgive you for that! To make those two your slaves, there’s no mistake that you’ve done a lot of evil things!」
From the adventurers, voices that went 「That’s right! That’s right!」 and sympathized with Emil were raised. It seems that at some point, their fight over there had been settled.
There was a misunderstanding made.
Many misunderstandings would be made since he was doing something like a Demon King role play, but Diablo was a pacifist. He didn’t like unnecessary trouble and didn’t want to have conflicts with other people.
And above all, this kind of “believing themselves to be justice and in the right and don’t doubt it” guy was his opponent.
Speaking gently, he decided to turn a blind eye to him.
Diablo opened his mouth.
