Invitation to the Maou CastleMy superior appears to be above the circular arena in the n.o.bles seat. I heads towards there meet Sefiro, the witch of the black calamity. Finally reaching her, her usual effeminate face greets me.
“Yo. It’s been awhile, my best friend’s grandchild and my number one magician subordinate, Ike.”
An affable tone. I don’t mind. This person’s impression is always like this.
Since I was a child and first met her, her tone nor personality have changed.
―― Also her appearance.
Her appearance is the same as when I first met her.
Black hair running down to her back, uneven limbs and arranged looks, her age is――
(――oops)
Not good. Not good.
Counting a girls age even in my mind is improper.
Also her mana is enormous.
This mana and her perception. My thoughts aren’t being transmitted are they? Driven by such suspicions, her existence was overwhelming.
That’s why in my childhood, I swore to never tell a lie in front of her.
“By the way, commander do you want me to report on the capture?”
“Aaa. If it’s that, I know what happened from my familiar. No problems with either the capture process or the rules.”
“In that case, why was I summoned? It can’t be. It was really just for the golem experiment?”
“Was it?”
She readily replys looking forward to my reaction. But right after, she opens her mouth laughing and continues.
“It’s a joke. A Joke. I’m not the kind of with that would go that far on a whim. A certain honorable person requested to bring you. The golem was just because I had the chance.”
“―― a certain honorable person?”
Asking that, I could pretty much guess who based off the the tone of her voice.
The Maou Army ranks are easy to understand.
Maou→Corps Commander→Brigade Chief→Commanding Officer.
Below the Maou there’s also the Chief of Staff position that’s equal to Corps Commander in status. For Sefiro, a Corps Commander to call them “a certain honorable person”, there shouldn’t be anyone else.
“Exactly, the Maou, Dairokuten-sama, want to personally meet you.”
“Dairokuten-sama!?”
It goes without saying but Dairokuten is the name of the current Maou.
Several decades ago, the previous Maou was taken down. The person who ascended, became the top of the Maou Army.
“I’ve never heard of something like the Maou-sama meeting with a brigade chief though.”
“Hmm. I haven’t either. However, when there’s a subordinate that can make Asenum fall in one week, one would want to try meeting them.”
And with that, she tells me to come with her to the Maou’s castle and continuing from there, orders me to put my hand on her shoulder.
I did just as she told me to.
“What? How boring. I thought you were going to touch my breast while confused.”
“I’ve long since been done weaning.”
When I said that, the transfer magic was prepared.
When one reaches the level of her mana, there’s no fear in failing the transfer or worry about sickness from the transfer.
If there’s anything to be worried about, it probably that it’s my first time going to the Maou’s castle.
Someone of my position going to the Maou’s castle is rare.
Half excited and half nervous. With those feelings, I look forward to the transfer.
