## Chapter 1577 – Chronicles of the Black-Haired Foreigner – Heavenly Demon’s Rampage

ㅡThump-thump-thump-thump boom-thump!
ㅡThump! Thump! Thump!
ㅡBoom boom boom boom!

As expected, a noble’s mansion must have musicians like these. It livens up the atmosphere, doesn’t it? The drummer played the drums, and the instrumentalists played their instruments.

What a joyous atmosphere.

“This is!!! So much fun!!! Ohohohohohoho!”
“Hahahahahahaha!”

It was so delightful to meet the Lady and chat for the first time in a while. She’s crazy to begin with. This absurd weirdo naturally makes people happy. Above all, watching the Haelen siblings, now total losers, was also entertaining.

Mr. George and Mr. Metal.

I still remember those names clearly… That’s right! That’s it! An idea suddenly came to mind!

“Ah, right! I should show you something fun!!!”
“What!!! Could it be!!! Your Majesty the Heavenly Demon!!!”
“Look! Hey, Mr. George! Come here and stand straight!”
“Ah, yes…”

Mr. George, looking bewildered, hesitantly came forward. This bastard… the Emperor is ordering you, and you don’t have any pep in your step. You should be moving like a new recruit, snappy-snappy!

But I didn’t blame him.

Because I have something to show the Lady now.

“Watch closely, Layla. I’ll show you the power of an omnipotent god.”
“The power of a god! Don’t tell me you’re planning to surprise me so much that I faint!! Ah! Fainting would paralyze my work!!! Impossible to proceed with tasks!!!!”
“You can rest for a day! Then, Heavenly Demon Gate!”

ㅡWhoosh.

I immediately created a small gate in front of Mr. George’s face!

“W-what is this!”

Mr. George immediately stepped back. Naturally. A gate appeared in front of his face, so it’s understandable that he’d be scared. But there’s no need to be afraid.

“Hey, stay still. I’m not going to do anything to your face.”
“W-what is this, exactly?”
“It’s a gate. A gate. So stop moving. Just stand still quickly.”
“A-alright.”
“You’re not doing it snappy-snappy, are you? Huh? Should I sit down here again and cry? Cry because Mr. George isn’t listening to me?”
“No! I understand! I’ll stay still!”

ㅡPoof!

Terrified by my light threat, Mr. George very quickly snapped back to attention. Yes. Of course, he should. I don’t dislike snappy people.

“A gate, you say! Truly amazing! This is the power of a god! The absolute ability that could swiftly save the world!”

The Lady, seeing the gate, clasped her hands together in admiration.

“So what are you planning to do with it!!! Surely not a joke using the gate!!! Is it a joke!!!”
“Something like that. So calm down and watch.”
“I’m too excited to calm down!!! Someone, please, calm me down!!! No! You, Methyl Haelen!!! What are you doing standing there alone when I’m so agitated!!! Come here right now!!!”
“Ah! Yes!!”

The Lady seemed to be enjoying tormenting the Haelen family. Mr. Metal, who had been standing there awkwardly, hurriedly rushed over to attend to the Lady.

“Watch.”

ㅡSlide.

I immediately put my arm into the gate.

It was created about 50cm away from Mr. George’s face, but since it was a gate, my arm went right through.

“Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

ㅡBoom boom!

“Aaaaaaah!”
“Aaaaaaah!”
“Help me!!!”

And a storm raged! No, this wasn’t what I intended? The fallen servants clutched their ears and screamed!

Sorry! All I can do is put a shield around here to prevent the sound from bursting out!

“Not again with this mistake!!! We need to make the servants’ earmuffs stronger!”

Lady Isvant, noticing the surrounding devastation after I put up the shield, scratched the back of her head and said that. Well, let’s get started now.

I winked at the Lady.

And created another gate coming out of the back of Mr. George’s head. Mr. George didn’t even notice it, just staring at the gate in front of him at attention.

“Could it be… Pfft…!”

Lady Isvant, realizing what was happening, covered her mouth with both hands, trying not to laugh… That’s right.

From the gate created behind Mr. George’s head.

ㅡSwoosh.

My hand came out.

And.

Prepared a flick on the forehead.

And flicked him on the back of the head!

ㅡThwack!

“Aaaaaaah!”

Immediately, Mr. George, hit on the back of the head, screamed in surprise and rolled on the floor clutching the back of his head! Seriously, this bastard is so funny!

“Hahahahahahaha!”
“Ohohohohohoho! Ohohohohoho! No! No! This is really something! Such a stimulating prank! It’s truly amazing that there could be someone who uses the great and unparalleled gate magic in this way!!”

We, who were completely cracked up, didn’t maintain our composure and clutched our stomachs, rolling around and bursting into laughter. This is so damn funny. The Haelen bastards are fun to tease.

ㅡBoom-thump!

Nice, drummer.

“Me too! Let me try too! Can I try it too!”
“Of course!”

As we were laughing like that.

“George…! George! Are you alright?!”

Mr. Metal, who had rushed out, grabbed Mr. George. Come to think of it, they were siblings. Metal looked at the fallen Mr. George with very worried eyes.

“You’re, you’re being too much! How can you do such violence! Lady Isvant! And Your Majesty the Emperor! We haven’t done anything wrong! But such violent acts!”
“Uh, uh? Mr. Metal?”
“M-Metal, not Methyl…”
“Mr. Metal. Are you being serious right now? Huh?”
“That’s…”
“You can’t even take my joke? You bastard. I put up with your bullshit, and you can’t even take this joke. Unbelievable.”
“Ah, no, that’s…”

After teasing him a little, he was turning pale in an instant. That was unbearably fun. If Serka saw this now, wouldn’t she tease him similarly?

“I-it’s alright, Sister. I just screamed because I was surprised, it doesn’t actually hurt… So stop it.”

Mr. George scratched the back of his head and got up.

“George? Really?”

That’s right.

“Hey. Do you think I’d really beat you up? You’re making a fuss over a little joke. Are you making this Emperor uncomfortable?”

I tease these bastards, but I’m not trying to beat them up. Because the grudges have already been resolved.

But I hold grudges.

That’s why I’m verbally teasing them like this.

If you mess with this Heavenly Demon, it’s only natural that this happens. I don’t like these Haelen bastards to begin with. If they don’t please me, it’s only natural that they suffer.

Ah, but seeing this reminds me of the old days. That Durvan bastard who sold me off to the arena. I wonder what he’s doing now?

“You foolish Haelen siblings!!! Apologize immediately!!! How dare you displease His Majesty the Emperor!!! There’s a limit to being crazy!!!”

ㅡBoom-thump!

“Drummer! This isn’t a joke, it’s a serious scolding! Put in the sound effects properly!”

ㅡTa-thump!

“Yes!”

What’s with that drummer, seriously?

“We’re sorry! We’ll apologize! Please forgive us!”
“We were wrong!”

Yes.

“I like seeing you apologize right away. Then, hey. Show me a personal talent. Show me a personal talent.”
“A personal talent, you say? George! I’ll—!”
“It’s alright. I’ll do it.”

Mr. George immediately stood up.

“Then, I’ll start my personal talent… Yah!”

ㅡPoof!
ㅡThump!

As the drummer added music, Mr. George started dancing awkwardly.

“Layla? What is that?”
“I told him to dance once before, but it was so unbearable that I never asked him to do it again. It’s truly unsightly! Order him to stop!”
“Hey! Stop it!”
“Yes!”

Mr. George, who was very disciplined, immediately stopped dancing and stood at attention.

“Good. I’ll forgive you. Your dance was awful, though.”
“Yes…”
“But didn’t you have a Lormalza? What about her?”
“W-we broke up, so I don’t know. To begin with, so many places were destroyed when the world was covered in darkness…”
“Is that so?”

I don’t really care.

“Hey. Anyway, you did a good job entertaining me. Since I flicked you on the back of the head, here. Use this as pocket money.”
“Ah…!”

As I immediately gave him silver coins as a reward, tears started to well up in Mr. George’s eyes. He seemed very moved.

“How can you be so generous! Don’t you think it’s a waste of money to give it to those foolish guys!”
“They went along with my joke.”
“Heavens…! Since Your Majesty the Heavenly Demon is so generous, this world will surely be in an era of peace!!!!!!”
“Hahahahahahaha!”
“Ohohohohohoho!”

ㅡBoom-thump!

It was a very good time.

* * *

“It’s very livable! I’m living with the authority of His Majesty the Heavenly Demon behind me, so there’s no way there would be any inconveniences!”

All the royal families and nobles around the world are my subordinates.

No power can challenge this Heavenly Demon. They have to do everything I tell them to do.

“The directives from above are also being carried out very well! Here! Please take a look and judge for yourself!”

Lady Isvant submitted a report to me on how well she had carried out the directives that had been passed down from Kadia. I read through it. There weren’t any major problems.

As expected of the Isvant family, they’re really good at their jobs. The lords are really useful.

“Hehehe, good. You’re doing very well, Layla.”
“Of course!!! Your Majesty the Heavenly Demon!!!”

The Lady, answering loudly, picked up her teacup and asked.

“But while I’m doing well, I’m curious about how Your Majesty the Heavenly Demon is doing! Has anything special happened lately? I heard that you disappeared with the Queens for a long time!”
“Ah, that.”

Well, I might as well tell her since I’m here.

I told the Lady a slightly embellished story about Earth and my trip there. That a Lich had torn a hole in the dimensions, allowing me to observe another world, and that I had gone there and come back.

“Heavens…! Another world!”
“Not many people know about it yet. Keep it to yourself for now.”
“Strictly confidential!!!! But! I’m curious! Tell me more details!”
“Hehehe, I will.”

Well, today I should chat with the Lady for a bit and then go meet Princess Karuga. But is that Archmage still missing? The woman who quickly ran away when it looked like the world was going to be destroyed.

The woman who enjoyed reading erotic novels in the library… Her identity was truly a mystery. I feel like I could properly understand her if I saw her now.

Anyway, Soma protected the royal family to the end.

Thinking about that also reminds me of the priests here.

The Heavenly Demon Church has absorbed most of the humans, so the existing religions have declined, but I haven’t been stingy with my support for them.

“Ah, but what about Captain Bakarel?”
“You mean Holy Knight Bakarel of the Bronze Celestial Angel Society!!! He’s doing very!!! Well!!! He’s even come to the Heavenly Demon Temple construction site to help!!!”

Is he helping, though?
