Chapter 40

We Who Do Not Know About the Demon God

Sei side

"Instead of staying in my castle the demon God-sama ended up staying in an inn"

While I was beside him, Doyle-sama surprisingly spoke

For Doyle-sama it's probably his first time going out without being accompanied by a lot of attendants

He said he wants to become close to the demon God, but the demon God seems to completely not see him as a [possible] companion

"Demon God-sama, are you in a [love] relationship with the beastman?"

When I heard that I was surprised

If they are in a relationship then the slave collar would probably be unneeded

Besides that, his partner is a beastman

The demon God and a beastman, no matter how I think about it it they don't seem suitable

Even a human would not match him

…….Though previously, I did give him a marriage proposal

That appearance is just unfair

He's probably really popular

Though I could never seriously compete for him

I wonder if the demon God has fallen in love?

I know he pampers his slaves, but he doesn't seem to give any one of them special treatment

assuming the demon God is in love, I wonder if his partner would also be a demon God?

Is a demon God something there can be more than one of?

"Right then, I will also stay in this inn"

"Eh-!? Doyle-sama, the castle—"

"Sei-dono will also stay"

Doyle-sama's position is [one] above mine

Although from his appearance you would feel he would be an elegant and composed person, he is considerably headstrong

He does not yield from his own opinion

(So I will also stay…..)

The purpose of staying is as Doyle-sama's guard

Even though it would be good to just contact Kieshye's knights

"For Doyle-sama to stay at a common inn such as this, is too careless. I alone will not be able to ensure your security. Please call for someone [more]"

"Not necessary"

(This person…..)

Is he saying for me to protect him by myself

"There are other people also in the inn. There are limits to how much I can guard you by myself. Since Doyle-sama's wellbeing could come into danger, please call the guards"

We must also drive out the other guests

In the meantime, Doyle-sama would be left alone

Before that, I don't have [enough necessities/money] on hand

If we drive out the guests, we must compensate [them]

Doyle-sama reluctantly contacted the castle

A short time later a large number of knights and magicians appeared

There are also the king's attendants

The guests were gathered and driven out

Here is Kieshye and as the one who wanted to stay was Doyle-sama it all proceeded smoothly

However compared to the inn's capacity, the number of people is too much

No matter how you think about it there aren't enough beds

Though, as it seems they decided to take turns standing guard, they will also be taking turns using the beds

"Is here the inn the demon God-sama is staying at?"

When I sigh, Rien-sama's voice calls out

"That's right. Due to that, Doyle-sama is also staying"

It's not the demon God's fault, but I wish he wouldn't stay at the inn

Though there's already nothing I could do about it

"However to come to the inn at such an early hour…..Are they planning to go out later?"

Speaking of which that's right

It's not yet evening

Will the demon God be going back out?

"Hiih!?"

After I noticed the door opening, it suddenly shut [again]

The face that appeared was that beastman's

"What's wrong?"

"Shin-sama, there are a lot of humans"

I could hear their voices from the other side of the door

It seems there is no soundproofing [TN: Uh-oh]

"….those guys again, how annoying"

When the door opened again, the one who came out this time was the demon God

From behind the demon God, like he was hiding, was the beastman

Holding his hand, he was looking up at the demon God with an anxious expression

So, I mean, why is he more afraid of us than the demon God?

"Are you going outside? Doyle-sama called for you, so please wait a bit"

I said blocking their way—

"Unnecessary, that guy, is more annoying than you"

He said such an explosive statement

Certainly he's the not the type [of person] to listen to others, but to call a king 'annoying'

The people here, are people of Kieshye

I don't have a good feeling

Moreover, there are many here that didn't hear the demon God's earlier explanation

Since only a few of the knights and magicians were allowed into that room

In other words, they also don't know the demon God's strength

They most likely don't know what kind of existence a demon God is either

Most people still believe that legend

That he's 'an opponent defeated by the hero'

"The insult you have directed at Doyle-sama, I demand you retract it and apologize"

Kieshye's governor pointed his sword at the demon God

Even though he understood he's an opponent he has no way to rival, he couldn't stay silent when his subject to protect was insulted

However, that's just suicidal

Doing such a thing, he will just be killed by the demon God

"You also insulted Sei-sama and Rien-sama, I want you to also retract it and apologize to them"

However that governor—Kreuz's words continued

"I said annoying guys were annoying, anything wrong with that? This world's humans, are all just annoying guys"

At the demon God's words, the corners of his eyes tighten

"Just because you're a demon God you think you can do whatever you please?"

"Kreuz, stop already!"

Without listening to the voice of restraint, Kreuz approached the demon God

"The ones who do as they please are the humans! Just because an opponents stronger than you all appeared, don't just decide to make shin-sama out as an enemy!!"

The beastman's voice came from behind the demon God

The anxious expression that was there until just now disappeared and he was glaring at Kreuz

—While crying

"Rune, don't cry"

"But, these guys….."

"Don't mind them"

The demon God embraced the beastman and pat his head

A master that would gently embrace his slave, up to now I haven't seen such a person from among the humans

Like that they walked away

As if, there was no one around them

If it's a human, they don't seem to even enter his eyes

"Wait! Your previous insult, you haven't yet retracted it and apologized"

"……Annoying, to the castle"

In that instant Kreuz disappeared

Somehow or other he seems to have been teleported

Kreuz who blocked their path was no longer there and the demon God walked away while holding the beastman

"Demon God-sama, where are you going?"

"Tch, it's your fault, since annoying guys came"

Looking at Doyle-sama who showed his face, his [Doyle's] mood seemed to sour at once

"Don't say such a thing, please deepen your friendship with me"

"Irritating"

He decisively cut him off

Soon after that, the demon God disappeared

He seems to have just teleported

"As expected of the demon God-sama. To be able to teleport without even reciting a spell….. Moreover, even I can't follow after the demon God-sama"

At Rien-sama's words the surroundings fell silent

A person with strong power can chase after someone who's teleported

However, following after the demon God is impossible even for Rien-sama

It's impossible for me as well

In this world, there is no person that can follow after the demon God

Knowing now that the one called the hero is just a fantasy, it's not especially surprising

"Search, find out where the demon God-sama went"

Even as Doyle-sama ordered sullenly—

"That is impossible"

Rien-sama immediately replied

"For an opponent that I cannot know where he teleported to, even if you tell me to search within this entire continent, it is impossible. The demon God-sama's power is tremendous, I don't know up to where he could have teleported"

Rien-sama's advice is quite natural

Searching for such an opponent, the probability [of finding him] is close to 0

"If I cannot be together with Demon God-sama then isn't there no meaning to me being here?"

To start with, thinking that you want to make friends with the demon God is just unbelievable

There had been completely no compromises between the demon God and Doyle-sama

He was much too much persistent, the demon God was bound to lose his temper

At that time, humanity's very existence was at stake

The demon God said

'It would be simple for me to bring humanity to ruin'

That if that beastman desires it, he would instantly enact it

Our future is held by that beastman

Before that, if the demon God were angered there's no way to know what would happen

The demon God seems to be not at all fond of humans

He doesn't appear to hate other races

What in the world is the difference

What is it he can't stand

What is the reason he hates humans

We do not know [the answer to] that

Thanks to the demon God, we now know the ending of the Baren country

The truth of the legend is known

However, that is all

Right now, about that demon God, we know nothing

The demon God called 'shin-sama' who has such divine beauty

It's only been about a half year since he was born and he pampers his slaves

What I know, is only that

What the demon God intends, what he's thinking, I completely don't know

That beastman, probably know quite a bit?

"Doyle-sama, let us return to the castle. About the demon God-sama, isn't it fine to entrust it to Rien-sama and Sei-sama?"

At his attendant's words his mood once again soured

This fine adult seems like a child

The worst betrayal is probably Doyle-sama's appearance

This elegant and composed adult, is actually quite different [from his appearance]

"I want to speak with the demon God-sama, the demon God-sama possesses considerable knowledge. To ask about his way of thinking is naturally something I should do as king, right?"

He explains it away with a legitimate sounding explanation

From my perspective, all I can see is a child that wants the 'demon God' as it is something that he cannot obtain

"The demon God does not seem to like being interfered with. If you unreasonably try to get closer, what will you do when his heart is increasingly closed to you?"

I seem to be hated by the demon God

Thinking back on it, how many times did I go to meet with the demon God

On each occasion he looked towards me with a displeased expression, and he called me 'annoying' and 'persistent'

There were also times when I hadn't even said anything yet and I was transported back to the castle

However when I think about it, those beastmen, how did they catch the demon God's interest?

From protecting them from humans who were trying to hurt those slaves to hugging them tightly when they were scared……

Their treatment is obviously different [from me]

What did they do to catch his interest?

Catching the demon God's interest, that alone is impossible enough

Wouldn't I too be given his divine protection?

If I wouldn't die from anything aside from my natural lifespan, it would be extremely advantageous when I fought

……….Although it is unthinkable that the demon God would give me his divine protection

The demon God returned within an hour

He did not call out to us, while carrying his beastman like he was precious, he just entered his room

Doyle-sama said he would enter the bath, and he teleported back to the castle

He hasn't yet returned

(Did they go to eat their meal?)

According to the time they probably did

This inn provides meals, but it's also fine to eat outside, and we also take our meals in turns

However our mealtimes are quite short

While waiting for Doyle-sama to return, we have nothing to do

Since then, the demon God hasn't come out of his room

Moreover―

"………Aah-……nn….shin,samaa….."

From that voice I can faintly hear, I can only think they are doing that sort of act

We who could hear that, our body's also react

The young guys' faces become red and they lose their composure as their eyes flicker restlessly

"Aa-…..deep……u"

The voice we can hear intermittently becomes more and more alluring

We can't hear the demon God's voice, but the beastman's cries do not stop

(Even though the demon God's been born only about half a year)

Nevertheless his appearance is an adult's

His mental age is also not a child's

It's probably because he's the demon God, but about how old is he essentially?

Doyle-sama returned a short time later, but the voice he could hear coming from the room the demon God was staying in shocked him and he froze

It is a very honest voice, there is no question as to what is being done inside

(So that beastman was a sex slave, huh)

I would not have guessed that from his appearance

Even though he's a slave his master is kind to him, he only spoils him

Even though a master should not spoil his sex slave

Although I've never seen a master who dresses up his sex slaves, but since it's that demon God that's that

"So even the demon God has sexual desire…….could it be, could he possibly make children?"

At Doyle-sama's words, I was surprised I had not already thought of that question

(Demon God's children!?)

It seems the demon God has had that appearance since he was born

But even then can he still have children?

I also have the feeling I'd like to try seeing a child inherit that beauty

"However, the birth of the demon God into this world, he said it was because God sent him?"

Such a demon God, does he have the means to leave descendants?

"For someone to have sexual desire, wouldn't it be in order to leave descendants?"

"You can't use a human's common sense on the demon God-sama"

At Rien-sama's words, I also nod

Common sense does not apply

That is a demon God

The voice finally ceased late in the night

We took turns sleeping for a short time, as we had to wait for the demon God [in the morning] who we didn't know when he would get up

Eventually, when the demon God once again appeared before us it was nearly noon
