Chapter 709 – [A Journey to the Demon World]

The problem that occurred while 【The Barrier of the Absolute Sanctuary】 existed was the lack of living quarters.

The Vatican is north of the sea, west of the mountains, and at least the east and south remain, but the south is the Demon King’s territory and the east is the 【Absolute Sanctuary’s Barrier】, so in order to live safely, we had no choice but to live like bean sprouts.

The only thing is that ordinary demons live in cities like the Kowloon Walled City, but the temples, including the Holy See, are luxuriously built and wasting space.

Even here, you can feel the law of supremacy of the strong.

“Can’t we go out and live?”

“Monsters appear in the mountains of the west. In cities, monsters are driven out through self-fantasy, but when you go outside, monsters appear that are dangerous even to demons.”

“Did they change safety and discomfort…”

Monster, come to think of it, I heard from the demon king that there is no squid and there is a kraken.

Monsters have been extinct on the continent for a long time. It is said that after the discovery of imagination, humans developed rapidly and eradicated monsters.

“Originally, monsters originate from the Demon World. The reason the continent’s monsters became extinct was because the continent’s overall level of military power increased after the discovery of fantasy power, but there is also a reason why the level of monsters went down as they crossed over the dimension.”

“No, why are monsters originating from the demon world on the continent?”

“……I’m sorry to say this, but during the invasion of the continent in the past, they brought in monsters to breed them in order to kill humans more efficiently.”

“This was a foreign species.”

In the end, the native species (continental people) defeated the foreign species (monsters). After all, Shinto fire is a good thing.

However, I have one question. Why do monsters only exist in the demon realm?

It’s a problem that can be overlooked, but it’s different. There is a god called the predecessor of black here. Why did they release monster-like monsters in a barren place while fighting and fighting?

There may be some intention, but it was a question that I was wondering about the intention.

I’ll have to ask about this when I meet Black’s predecessor later.

“Now that we’ve got the eastern plains, we just need to develop them. The monsters didn’t settle first, and they won’t come over, so as long as we develop them, we can build any number of places where we can live.”

“Rather than that, isn’t it enough to secure a living area if you just fix the place where the temple was built?”

“That’s right…”

Bishop Ruth Horntail said with a bitter expression on her face. Apparently, it was someone else’s intention, not my own.

“That’s why the population density in the vicinity of the Vatican is very high. The smell of the corpse from the other day… Is probably coming out after that.”

If the population density is high, sanitation and security are poor.

Oh, of course it’s not that high. However, what if people live together in a place where there is likely to be one person across the house with anger control disorder due to the idea of ​​supremacy of the strong?

From ancient times, many incidents occur in the summer when the discomfort index is high. In this environment, even if it is not hot, a lot of irritation or anger occurs.

And there will be plenty of cases of murder and violence.

The smell of rotting corpses I smelled must have come from an accident that occurred there.

“Ohhhhhmlowmight the High Priestess landed at it!

“Who are you?”

“I’m late in introducing myself. My name is Ast Horntail. Within the church, I have taken the position of cardinal, replacing the Pope who is currently absent.”

“Ah”

After all, it means one of the pope’s cousins. Last name is the same as Bishop Ruth Horntail, but that’s because it’s a family name.

Wouldn’t the pope appoint a guy who didn’t obey him as his substitute?

“You must be tired, but I have prepared a place to rest and a small party in the temple. Let’s go!”

“Ah… I’m sorry, but I think I’ll have to go back soon.”

“Yes? Already?”

“The goal has been achieved, and I want to receive the cardinal’s favor, but there are so many more delusions to deal with in the future.”

The truth is that It’s just that I don’t want to be here, so I’m hitting the gura.

Besides, it was obvious that the other side didn’t think very well of me. How much of a hindrance must I, a human, be to invade the continent?

Cardinal Ast only showed pretense, but the inside was hostile. It’s better not to go beyond him because you don’t know what will happen to him if you follow him.

“You must be tired from the trip…”

“Anyway, when the pope comes back, I plan to participate in the ceremony, so I’ll come back then. And there are still many delusions that haven’t been demolished, so I’ll have to work diligently rather than rest.”

“If that’s the case, I’d like you to accept a gift. It’s a voluntary gift from the followers moved by Your Highness’ feat, so please don’t refuse it.”

“……..Thank you”

First of all, I don’t think it was voluntarily given, and there will be a lot of things to do with money in the future, but I don’t know why they give gifts like this.

There is no inconvenience because the demon lord supports it… Anyway, the party was rejected and we were able to get on the carriage to return to the demon lord’s castle.

“At least he showed that he could demolish the delusion site, so he would have tried to get along with him on the outside. But since Cardinal Ast is a radical… I don’t know what he will do after the delusion site is demolished.”

“It looked just like that”

Tosa Gupaeng. The opponent must have been thinking about that.

Perhaps after demolishing the delusion of the place where the influence of the Black Church is, wasn’t he planning to assassinate him by feeding him something like poison? At that point, the Demon Realm will be able to stand on its own.

I hate things that don’t even know grace. No, if those with shame and conscience receive help, shouldn’t they at least not harm it, even if they don’t repay the favor?

You can kill such ungrateful bastards. You won’t feel guilty even if you kill those guys, that’s just right!

“Once I go back, I’ll take a little break and go back to demolish the delusion site. I’ll come back here, but… When is the exact date for the ancestral rites?”

“Around the middle of next year, Your Highness”

“Should I stay here this year?”

I thought it would take a long time anyway. However, at this pace, it will be difficult to demolish the delusional site even next year……. Hmm.

The reason I don’t deliberately fly around and demolish the delusion is because of time. Even if you demolish the delusion site overnight, there will be confusion and problems in accepting it, and above all, Korma will not be able to lay the foundation before becoming the demon king.

Take time to stamp Korma’s face and build your strength as the next demon king. That is the purpose of slowly demolishing delusional sites.

If it wasn’t for that, I would have demolished a few delusional papers a day.

“……Ah, Your Highness. A guest has come to the Demon Castle.”

“Guest? Who? Someone I know?”

“It’s Erebos.”

Ah, is it the head of the Bores clan?

It was a business partner who had a goodwill with me here and would supply cacao and coffee, but somehow the eyes looking at me were…

Besides, it reminds me of Asterope and I’m scared!!!

Still, I couldn’t escape, so I had to go back. I went to sleep in the carriage that slowly returned to the demon castle.

*        *    *

When I returned to the castle, Erebus was waiting for me. When we arranged a place for her and met her, she said with a smile.

“Welcome, Your Highness. Excuse me, but may I ask what dessert is for today?”

“It wasn’t just the face that looked alike!!!!!”

“Yes?!”

“No, it’s not like that. Among the elves I know, there is an acquaintance who asks me everyday, what’s for today’s meal?”

“Do you really think I came here to eat sweets? Didn’t I tell you that I had to come to the castle anyway?”

“Yes”

“And I said it half-jokingly. Never mind.”

“If it’s half a joke, what’s the other half?”

“……..”

“It was a real Asterope family!!!!!”

Well, honestly, I don’t understand. Women love sweets regardless of their dimension or race, and since I am a chef, I can make all kinds of desserts.

Ah, to be precise, it’s the pastry chef who makes cookies and cakes, but since he does all the cooking, let’s say he’s the chef.

Anyway, since a guest came, I wanted to make something delicious.

Using lots of chocolate… Well, let’s make a chocolate cake rather than just chocolate.

Chocolate itself was prepared, so I only needed to make a cake, so I made it in moderation. Even if it doesn’t have fancy decorations, the taste alone will be awesome.

“Hmm…As expected, His Highness’s chocolate seems to be the most delicious.”

“Even if I gave you the recipe, it will take time to get good at it. Of course, I, who have more experience, can make it delicious.”

No matter how genius you are, you can’t do well from the beginning. Even if you do, you will do better next time.

After all, cooking is about building your skills through trial and error and experience. Even if the Dark Elves aim to become chocolatiers, it will take time for someone worthy of being called a craftsman to emerge.

If you look at that passion, in roughly 10 years, chocolatiers will be pouring out.

10 years might seem like a long time, but here we are discovering a new food ingredient called chocolate and building it up from zero. Even though I gave you the recipe, it is said that it only takes 10 years even though it is a more difficult road because you do not learn from the knowledge of your ancestors.

“You say you have a lot of experience……I heard that Your Highness is a teenager, and besides, chocolate chips have never been taken out of the demon realm. How can you say that you have a lot of experience?”

“Oh, um…”

“You seem to be in trouble, so I won’t ask deeply, but please do it with one debt.”

With a theme that resembles Asterope, how come she has a more active feeling than her… No, it’s just a Dark Elf trait.

It feels a bit awkward, but I still can’t get away from it. This is the leader of the Dark Elves, one of the three major races in the Pandemonium. There is no choice but to make Korma the Demon King.

Besides, this one is pretty strong too. It’s not her demon lord level, but she’s two orders of magnitude inferior to her. If you have a crush on this side, it would be better to attract them as allies.

However, it is not enough to convince this side. The demon lord or head of Lepesh could connect the two and ensure a happy life, but this side has no other way to do it than make a deal.

Violence? I don’t know if it’s someone like an idiot, but if you threaten someone who’s okay by force, your conscience will be stabbed a little……. Even if your conscience to be stabbed is as small as a snot, that’s the next best thing.

“Since there are only two of us, I’d like to talk a little more personally.”

“Oh, don’t you think it’s a little early to talk about that?”

“This is the story of the next demon king.”

“…….Hmm”

Erebos’ expression turned serious. It could have been such a serious story.

Except for the head of Let Peche, she is probably the closest person to her next great demon king. She can’t be greedy.

“I want to raise Korma to the next demon king.”

“You mean the dreamy child who served on Her Highness?”

“Yes, I think it is a promising and promising material for the future.”

“Certainly, if you look at your abilities and talents, there’s a possibility. Even Maou-sama has one body, so you can’t do multiple things at the same time, but that child can.”

Korma is the best when it comes to knowledge acquisition, job handling, and efficiency. Because I can do it all by myself through my alter ego.

There is a limit to what even the devil can do alone, so you can’t completely trust others in this place where you can trust a reliable subordinate to do the work. However, Korma is completely excluded from it.

Even if the system collapses, Korma alone can cover it. In fact, it was safe to say that it was a walking administrative agency.

“But the important thing is force.”

“That won’t be a problem either.”

Korma saw the world beyond the dream. This means that cognitive abilities have become pandimensional. And as the power grows and becomes stronger, the stronger it becomes, the more it will accelerate.

She can’t be strong right now, but at least she can become the strongest of all the demon kings until I die this episode. She will grow even more after that.

So, before I die, I had to build the stairs for Korma to ascend to the Demon Lord.

………Of course, this plan is under the premise that I won’t die of a double wound!!!

“In the future, the world of demons will become peaceful. If that’s the case, a person suitable for a peaceful world of demons should become a demon king.”

“It’s not that I’m not greedy for the position of the Demon King. If you ask me to support that child, I think there will be a price for that?”

“It’s a price……This isn’t a deal, it’s an offer?”

“A suggestion?”

I am proposing to her now.

Times change. And giving them a chance to get on the ship of Korma, who will become the king of the new era.

“Demon King will definitely support you because your clan’s child will become the Demon King, and there is a material that will make the head of the Reppesh family support you. Of the three great clans, only Monk Erebos is left.”

“That’s… That’s right. In the end, if you don’t ride with the trend of the times, you’ll just be purged.”

“And most of all, there is me who can demolish the current delusion site. How much do you think the support for me will be after demolishing all the delusion sites in the demon realm?”

The demon world is powerful.

And I proved that power to the point of demolishing all delusions of the demon realm. It was a feat that even the Demon King could not accomplish.

At least while I’m alive, no demons will think of going against me. To be honest, if the demon king dies tomorrow and I have to choose a new demon king, I can act as a substitute in the duel.

All of them are George and they set Korma as the demon king, and after I die, Korma will be stronger, so there is no problem.

“I see, even putting everything aside, His Highness is the biggest variable.”

“How are you?”

“I will board the ship Your Highness is on.”

If you can’t read the trend, you’ll just be swept around and die. She knew what was about to happen and chose a ship that would not sink.

I didn’t become the head of a clan for nothing. Force is also powerless, but it was possible because of that skill.

“But one thing… It’s okay for the next demon king to become a dream demon and the Rem family to become the first tribe in the demon realm. But, can I accept the second place?”

“Yes?”

“You can think of him as the first one, but to get the second seat, I think I’ll have to win the favor of Her Highness as well.”

“Yes? Yes?”

Erebos smiled seductively and licked the chocolate on her lips.

Aaaaagh! Carnivorous elf (chocolate flavor) here too!!!!
