「…… It’s probably here. I can feel Kazuha’s magic power from here.」(Ruru)
「Ruru-chan really knows her stuff~. As expected of a former spirit, right~?」(Tao)
「I am still a spirit you know.」(Ruru)
「!…… She’s inside that black and silver door……!!」(Ruru)
『Demon Lord’s Room』
「Oh? Good job making it here. Considering the fact that this castle is a large labyrinth.」
Behind me, Ruru and Tao stood in the doorway looking at me.
『Gugugu……!! You[onore]……! This much power even though you’re a little girl……!』
The Demon lord still has the face that says she wants to bite my head off as I take a knee.
「She is…! This castle’s master……!」(Ruru)
「Really? …… So she’s the 『Demon lord』?」(Tao)
Tao and Ruru stood still in a daze.
What? Come to think of it……
「Didn’t you guys encounter any monsters on your way here?」(Kazuha)
I’m sure that there are swarms of totally strong monsters out there but……
「……Now that you mention it, only a few appeared」(Tao)
「Yes. Furthermore, they seemed to be weakened.」(Ruru)
Weakened?
Have they eaten something bad.
……. Or not.
『Gu……Gugu……Gugugu……!』
…… Ah. I see.¹
「Hey. You, Demon lord, born under the name called boing.」
『GU……! Don’t call me with weird that name……!! Gugu……!!』
Aa~h. The 『effect』 is slow as expected~.
That’s our Demon lord, perhaps.
What a casual shock~.
「Perhaps the monsters are weakening as the Demon lord weakens, is that it?」(Kazuha)
I throw a single question.
During my 『first time』 and even 『second time,』 I had no idea about the 『state』 of this world after I defeated the Demon lord.
If the monsters are granted the right to exist through the Demon lord’s 《power,》then.
The moment I defeat the Demon lord, maybe the demons of this world will also disappear.
(So primarily, peace will occur in this world and it will become a happy end……?)
『Gu……Gugugu……! O-of course……Gugu……! I am…… the demon’s king after all……!!』
「Righto~. Okay~」
So it’s really that.
And because I bound her 《power,》 the castle’s demons weakened.
「Perhaps……? Kazuha……? You……?」(Ruru)
「? What’s the matter? Ruru-chan?」(Tao)
「Yes. Right now, I’m in the midst of casting 《bind》 magic.」
「She, as expected, can’t invoke magic unto the demon lord unless it’s a great amount of magic~」(Ruru)
The geometric pattern -magic square- beneath the Demon lord’s feet increased it’s brightness.
「Oh. Shall we go?」(Kazuha)
『Gu…… Gugugu…… Gugugugu……!!』
「Kazuha…… You know, as a person you are……」(Ruru)
「Just what is it? Please explain it to me too, in a way that I can understand! ……….. What is 《Bind》!?」
Then, light was emitted from the magic square.
And the demon lord’s room was illuminated.
『GUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!』
『Yay. 《Bind》 complete♪ aa~h I’m hungry~』
N?
Somehow both the little girl and China girl’s shoulders are trembling?
「「WHAT DID YOU DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!」」
…………Eh？
『Demon lord’s room』
For some reason I am seated in a seiza position.
Uh, you know the ground is hard and cold. In the first place, why am I seated like this in this place……
「…… Are you listening? Kazuha.」(Ruru)
「……….. Yes.」
Standing in an imposing stance in front of me was a little girl, who was glaring at me while grappling my arm.
What kind of play is this?
「Casting 《bind》 magic even on the Demon lord…… Just how unrefined are…… you……」(Tao)
「Dehehe///」(Kazuha)
「That was not praise.」
The little girl strongly reprimanded…….
「………. Yes.」
Across from me was the unconscious Demon lord.
Or, now a mere boing onee-chan?
「What do you plan on doing with this on the Demon lord? Kazuha?」(Ruru)
「Take her home.」
「Haa…… What ever shall we do Tao-san……? I don’t have a single clue what this person is thinking……」(Ruru)
「Uh……. Even if you ask me…… I can’t even grasp what she wants to do……」(Tao)
「I wanna make a country.」
「………. . What should we do Tao-san? If we release the Demon lord then the demons will once again run wild」
The little girl completely ignored me!
This level of standing isn’t something that can be cured, probably……
「LIKE-I’VE-SAID! I wanna make a country!」
「…… What foolish things are you saying? 『Take her home』 and 『create a country』…… Has your head finally been broken? …… Oh, I guess it was broken in the first place.」(Tao)
「HEY!」
「At any rate, I don’t have time to join you in your outrageous delusions. We have to do something while the Demon lord is sleeping……」
They left me and proceed with their conversation.
Do you really hate me that much.
「U……Uuuh……」(Maou)
「!! The Demon lord is waking up!」(Tao)
「It’s because Kazuha was complaining!」(Ruru)
You don’t have to blame me that much, you two.
What would you do if I couldn’t stand up for myself anymore.
「Gu…… I …….? ……….!!! LITTLE GIRL!!?」
「Otto. Wait, my feet are numb, will you wait?」
I just don’t like seiza.
Owowowow……
I’ve been on the cold hard ground since some time ago…….
I wanna go home and soak in a hot spring, right now.
「What foolish things are you……….!! ……Ah……」(Maou)
Said the Demon lord as she collapsed back onto the floor.
「Don’t force yourself~. After fighting that much and then getting 《bound》 by me, you’re almost empty on stamina and magic power, right?」(Kazuha)
「………. I………. Lost…… huh…….. Against…… A carefree little girl……?」(Maou)
Ah. She got depressed.
That’s why I hate bothersome prideful women~.
「…… Yotto!」(Kazuha)
I recovered from the numbness and stood up.
I then gave the 3 people a full faced smile and said.
「Let’s go home then!」
