...In the corner of the CryRoadâs castle townâŠ.
â..itâs located in that placeâ
Glenial, the former member of demon kingâs espionage organization silent ear, currently the representative for stocking goods for the shop in the castle town, whispered to another member of the former silent ear member.
Today was the day the silent ear got ahold of the information regarding the location of the hidden organization that circulated fake and/bad goods in the castle town. Thus, the silent ear planned to exterminate these vermins once and for all.
âŠ.we attack...now!!
Following Glenialâs signal, the group merged with the darkness and rushed into the building, of what was deemed the secret base of the opponent organisation.
The group creeped inside the building through the ventilation duct, as planned, however, while Glenial was crawling through the duct, a guillotine fell, blocking the way.
Nu!?
Glenial was able to dodge the guillotine that was about to chop off her head, as she instinctively crawled backwards with full strength in hairâs breadth of time. However, the problem laid further than that. This meant a failure in detection of a trap, by the all famous magic ninja. Ninja that were supposed to be well versed in all kinds of trap detection and dismantling.
Genial, judged that since the trap activated, the enemy mustâve been notified of their invasion, and thus changed to plan b, to force their way in and whistled loudly as a signal.
With her whistle as a signal, the members emerged out of the darkness and gathered at the front of door. As soon as all the members gathered at the door, they barged in ready to cause ruckus.
However, to their surprise, the room was emptied with a corpse of the information provider on the chair in the center of the room.
Genial clicked her tongue in anger as she realized she was outwitted by the enemy. In fear that there might be an ambush or any more traps, she retreated out of the building.
âŠ.At the same time in certain buildingâs roomâŠ
âIt was exactly what you told me. If we were even half day later we wouldâve been caughtâ
A crystal showing the live footage of Glenialâs invasion, was placed infront of this man.
âI told you right...kekeke. As long as you guys donât betray us we will protect you guysâŠ.itâs that kind of contract we signed, after all...kekekeâ
The man smiled fearlessly against the menacing man who had the appearance of a demon, that stood in front of him gloating over their strength.
âŠâŠ..
âWhy is this happening? Aa? Fufun, tell me!!â
Demon king Yuiguard shouted in irritation agains his subordinate Fufun, the succubus.
As a custom in the newly succeeded demon king to call upon the chiefs of respective regions in order to celebrate his ascension and at the same time to swear their loyalty to the new Demon King.
Many showed dissatisfaction openly, but they swore loyalty and celebrated Yuiguard of his success at dethroning Gaul.
However, chief of the western region didnât attend his inauguration, not even a representative nor an envoy was sent.
âIâm sorry, Yuiguard sama. Iâve already sent an envoy to question their disrespect in their absence to this important occasion.â
Fufun, prostrated on floor and reported what she had done to try and resolve this issue.
Yuiguard merely snorted and frowned with his arms crossed while staring daggers at the ceiling.
These guys from the western region has been rebellious even during my brotherâs reign...
âOi, western regionâs chief is fox demon right?â
âYes sir, it is ruled by the demon fox sisters, gold and silver foxâ
Yuiguard became annoyed recalling their pretentious faces.
âI smell something suspiciousâ
âHa? Ano? Do I smell? Umm, I shower everyday so.....â
âShut up!? Iâm not talking about you!â
Yuiguard punched Fufun, who started sniffing her body in panick.
A tsukkomi without any mercy.
âŠâŠâŠâŠ.
âI believe someone or some group from demon race lent a helping hand to the enemy, since even the prideful Genial were outwitted.â
Uliminus nodded in agreement.
âEven though we destroyed one of their bases in castle town, the actual enemy ran away nya, meaning they will resume their activity soon nyaâ
âMs Owner and Mr Teacher, we will definitely not make the same mistake again! We are currently in midst of gathering more information, this time with more precaution as to not get caught beforehand.â
Genial reported their next move, and bowed deeply in apology.
âAnyhow, it has been a while Glenial. Iâm happy to see that you are wellâ
âI am not eligible to hear such word...I canât find any words to describe my gratitudeâ
âReport to me when you find some clue nya and inform the members to keep an eye out for danger, since the demons might be involved nya.â
âHa, I shall keep that in mindâ
âMr Furio, We finished preparing the usual one nyaâ
Uliminus pointed at the barrel located in one of the corner of the shop.
âThanks for this every time. It really helpsâ
â...From what I know mistress is still not pregnant right?â
âItâs still unknown. But she wonât stop with her nagging of âwe must keep a stockpile of this!â and doesnât listenâ
Saying so Furio smiled bitterly
The barrel was filled with le~mon.
Lys read in one of her book that when someone becomes pregnant they start craving for sour foods, and thus she asked Uliminus to supply her with the barrel full of Le~mon every single day.
âI guess I might be forced to build a storage just for these Le~mons soonâ
Furio smiled bitterly as he carried the barrel.
