The Simple Job of Only Perishing to the Hero Chapter 7

Translator: Manga0205

Several weeks after the meeting between Majin Orel and Demon King Vermudol──

A new Demon King, Vermudol has appeared.

Furthermore, there was already a Majin called Orel who sensed the Demon King's revival that hastened to join, and it seems that as a reward for this, the Demon King placed him as his subordinate.

Incidentally, the helpers in the spreading of the rumor, or rather, the ones that scattered the seeds of the rumors at the beginning were the Goblins.

It was bulls.h.i.t level authenticity that one would hesitate to even treat it as gossip, so to speak.

If the ones that were a bit smart were to consolidate and refine that, then the gossip that was talked about just now would be completed……That's what it meant.

The intruder that came to the Demon King's Castle at lunch time came bringing that result.

Raising a voice that wasn't clear if it was an exclamation or a lamentation, Orel jumped into the Demon King's Castle.

Having bounced from the force of being repelled and rolling on the floor, Orel immediately stood up and shouted.

「I heard that earlier.」

While ignoring Orel's exclamation, Vermudol poured the potato soup that he had grown accustomed to into his throat.

「Like h.e.l.l there isn't anything wrong!」

「Don't be so riotous. Since this place is crumbling, what are you going to do if the floor collapses.」
「Who gives a d.a.m.ned about the floor! I, I've been goin' through terrible things you know!」

It was something at a time immediately after the rumor was spread with a definite form.

They had long golden hair and long slit blue eyes. Their white skin was smooth, and they possessed a body line that was clearly that of a female.

「Are you Orel?」

At the woman who made a confirmation like that, Orel replied with a fearless smile.

Though, he had never picked a fight with a woman Majin. However, there was the pattern of the lover of a Majin that he beat up coming to get revenge.

He had no intention of making the challenge himself, but if it came to it, he practiced gender equality.

「If you've got a complaint or something, try displaying it with force.」

That's why, to the woman, Orel's words sounded like this.

Naturally, the woman, who was a Rank "AA" Majin, answered like this.

Fainell the Thunder Blade.

Of course, unless Orel picked a fight with her, he would have never have met her.

And while talking about it, this was also definitely an opponent that would leave him half killed if he were to fight her.

「W, wait wait……Dowah!?」

Seeing Orel desperately evade that, Fainell smiled looking like she was having fun.

「So you could evade that just now……However, I am the one worthy of being Demon King-sama's right-hand man!」

For Orel who was desperately evading, he was completely unable to understand what Fainell was saying.

「Do not screw around with me! The story that you b.u.t.tered up to Demon King-sama and desired the position of shogun has reached and resounded in the east!」

While shedding a cold sweat to the blade of thunder that pa.s.sed through to a place that was just a hair's breadth away from him, Orel shouted.

From those eyes that were clearly looking at him, Orel asked a question while hoping that it wasn't what he was thinking.

「You are Orel, are you not?」

He did so while telling himself that the heat and sound of a Volcanion (large explosive flame) that was approaching him from the back was surely just his imagination.

「At first they were solo, and these past few days were especially horrible. They attack me every thirty minutes.」

「Demon King-sama, can I punch you in the face?」

「If it's about tea, I won't put any out. We don't have tea leaves after all.」

「There's nothing to it. Most of it is just as the rumor says.」

Dividing the Dark Continent into the east, west, south, north, and center, he would place rulers in the east, west, south, and north.

「It's because it's something normally done even in the Human countries. It's not like Mazoku can't do it either, right?」

Placing managers in the regions and ruling at the center is something normal.

「Even the names have been decided. Easter Commander, Western Commander, Southern Commander, Northern Commander……I guess the central one could be the General Commander.」

Ichika, who was in waiting at Vermudol's side, shifted her eyebrows at Orel who was leaning his body forward over the stone desk.

It was because there was something that he needed to say no matter what.

The rulers of the east, west, south, and north would be decided.

Obeying someone weaker than themselves, that is something that the pride of the Mazoku wouldn't allow.

In other words, if one were to speak of what kind of situation would break out──

The dungeons, whose real objective was to protect themselves from the Hero and counter attack, would be invaded by fellow Mazoku.

「……Casualties will appear, you know.」

That was an immediate reply.

「At any rate, we'll just lose to the Hero as things are now. Don't you think that a reformation is needed in this area?」

Orel thought about the meaning of Vermudol and Ichika's words.

「There is no need to worry, Orel.」

「I'm quite fond of you after all.」

For Vermudol who was the Demon King, that was possible.

Vermudol looked as if he hadn't changed from the first time he had met him.

This day──
The Majin Orel, swore his allegiance to Demon King Vermudol.
