Volume 11, Chapter 2: Trying Out Going to the Newly Developed Southern Territory - Part 9

This chapter is updated by wuxiaworld.eu

Diablo stood on top of the large hollow’s platform.

Borbos was next to him. Fighting spirit could no longer be felt from him.

As for the Kobold women, Rem and Shera led them and moved to an adjoining room. It was because, depending on the progress of the talks, it was possible that things would turn into a battle royal.

──Uugh……I ended up standing on the platform from going with the flow.

Diablo was bad with being basked in people’s’ attention.

Fortunately, the other party was nothing but Kobold men.

Since they all had fox heads, the pressure had loosened up a bit. It was a bit of a soothing type of view.

It was like a fox village.

Borbos asked a question.

『Let us hear your story. Why, did you stop the ceremony?』

He should have said it, but it seemed that they weren’t listening at all.

「It’s because it would be a suicidal act for you all to attack Caliture City with only this level of a fighting force.」

『In fights, there is no telling how it will turn out, until we try it.』

「In the Lifelia Kingdom, there are guys that could defeat the Spriggan. Can you still say that?」

He didn’t lie.

He just hid the fact that he was talking about himself.

『What did you say!? There’s no way a guy like that could exist……!!』

「How can you say that there isn’t? The one who advanced through that highway, it’s only natural to think that they came from Lifelia’s royal capital.」

『Uugh……』

──Well, if it’s those guys of the Royal Palace Chivalric Order, they could probably defeat the Spriggan.

Before, he had seen that they had hunted a Huge-class Thunder Dragon. There was no mistake that they were a party that had all surpassed level 100.

He didn’t know if they would come to the newly developed Southern territory though.

「Putting it bluntly, you would all die in vain if they were to attack. That is why, I stopped you all.」

『Do you plan on saving us?』

「That’s wrong! I am a Demon King! Whether it’s a person of the Races or a Beastman race, I have no intention of saving anyone. However, I just feel like doing this, see. I shall negotiate with Caliture’s Feudal Lord──So that they will approve of you all living in this land.」

『What did you say!?』

It wasn’t just Borbos, even the other Kobolds were surprised and made an uproar.

『Have the Human Race approve!?』『We don’t have to fight!?』『Is the Demon King thing true!?』

「Hmph……How about it, will you try leaving things to this Demon King?」

The Kobold men fell silent.

They waited for Borbos’s response.

Deep wrinkles formed in between his eyebrows.

『Why, would a Demon King, go so far, for our sakes?』

──A debt of gratitude for a night and a meal……I guess saying that would be Demon King-like.

Diablo daringly smiled.

He flourished his mantle.

「It is because I am too strong! I find the conflicts of the weak to be annoying. It is like clearing away the flies that fly before my eyes! Or, would you like to try fighting against a Demon King that has gotten serious? I would probably end up blowing away something like this cave though.」

Borbos pondered.

However, he probably wasn’t the type to think deeply about things to begin with.

*Vun vun* He shook his head left and right.

『Got it! We will obey the strong. We shall leave it to you.』

Going “Hou……”, Diablo breathed a sigh in his mind.

It looks like he was able to get the Kobolds to stop for now.

He went to the room next door where the women had evacuated to.

「It’s been decided.」

Since there wasn’t anything like a door, when he peeked inside without even knocking──

「You can’t!」

He was suddenly criticized.

It was Shera’s voice.

Looking at them, Rem and Shera were having red faces.

*Dara dara* They were dripping in sweat.

「……You can’t come over here, Diablo.」

「Wh, what?」

The girls were blocking the way and trying to hide it, but the figure of Feneri who was behind them had entered his eyes as well.

Her face was flushed red, and her breathing was rough.

『Haa……Haa……Nnu……Hafuu……Me……Endure, can’t, maybe.』

She shouldn’t understand the meaning of their words, but Rem and Shera were persuading her.

「Keep it together! You need to keep it together, Feneri!」

「Although I don’t really get it, it seems like something you shouldn’t do, you know!?」

I’ve seen something outrageous!?

As for the other women, if there were those whose cheeks were red in a similar fashion, there were also those who weren’t like that and were calm.

In other words, those who were swallowed up by the atmosphere of the ceremony were……

──Se●ually excited!?

Is she se●ually excited!?

Diablo spilt a cold sweat.

「It, it’s a cold, isn’t it! It’s because you didn’t properly wear your clothes. What a helpless fellow. You should wrap yourself in a thick blanket, drink something warm, and have a good rest! This Demon King will allow it!」

Feneri twisted her body.

『Nnu……Here……itch……want.』

Rem and Shera, who had gone red, shook their heads up and down.

「That’s right, it’s a cold!」

「It’d be better if you rest, Feneri-chan!」

Is this part of the Beastman race’s culture──Although he was astonished like that, Diablo left the room at a brisk pace.
