Thank you for reading at bayabuscotranslation.com)
The next day, when I announced that Volt would be returning to the royal capital, all of my subordinates decided to send him off.
“Thank you, Grandmaster Volt, for your guidance!” (??)
“Thank you very much!” (??)
Centered around Rin, who had been particularly trained hard, everyone bowed their heads in unison.
It seems Volt has become quite liked. Is it charisma? No, there’s no way an old man who suddenly attacks could have that. Last night was just a night of gaming and fighting. Because of that, I’m still sleepy. Compared to that, what’s up with that monster? He’s still lively despite having attacked me multiple times without sleep.
“Well then, continue working hard, alright?” (Volt)
After finishing the farewell with an air of superiority, he nodded. Then, he went through the door and headed outside.
Ah, I need to do my part too.
“Alright, Ran, I don’t think any problems will arise, but I’ll leave it to you. If any hostile entities appear, leave it all to Alice. If anything else happens that you can’t handle, ask Hide for help and inform me.” (Nobunaga)
“Understood. Please be careful, Maou-sama.” (Ran)
And then I headed outside the dungeon as well.
“So, why are you coming along too?” (Volt)
“Huh? For various reasons.” (Nobunaga)
In the Great Forest of Owa, Volt and I strolled leisurely while heading toward a nearby town.
Oh, fruit acquired!
I tossed the fruit into the magical bag I brought and respond.
“For instance, I want information from outside. I can’t have more monsters like that coming here. Besides, I need to shop for sewing needles to finally turn weaving into sewing, and we’re running low on farming tools and equipment, which are all poorly made homemade goods.
But I can’t go alone. I don’t know how to behave in town, and though I have the funds from adventurers and knights, I don’t know their monetary value. That’s why I need someone familiar with the town.” (Nobunaga)
“You could just have Alice or Lyle handle that, couldn’t you? …No, that’s impossible.” (Volt)
“Exactly. Lyle isn’t trustworthy. There’s a high chance he’ll run away. Even if he doesn’t, he’d probably leak information. Alice isn’t very sharp either. She might handle shopping, but she’s not good at espionage.” (Nobunaga)
Other demon subordinates are out of the question. So, it’s just me who can transform.
“That, and Alice is already presumed dead. If she suddenly shows up, she’ll be questioned thoroughly. There’s no way to escape unless I use force. The truth would come to light easily.” (Volt)
Oh, I see, she’s already being treated as dead. In that case, I can’t let her appear in public. They’d just say she was brainwashed by the Demon King and turned traitor.
Oh, fruit gathering again. I mustn’t forget this, or it’ll lead to serious trouble.
“You’re picking a lot, or rather, there are a lot left. Normally, demons or monsters would have eaten them all.” (Volt)
“Most of the demons around here should have joined me. Plus, this area is the hunting ground for the Kobolds. There aren’t many monsters, so there are probably more left. I’ll collect them. Transforming decreases my magic, so if it wears off in town, that would be a big problem.” (Nobunaga)
“I see. So that’s why you didn’t run into anything until you reached the dungeon.” (Volt)
I’ve heard from Alice that he came charging in with full killing intent. That’s probably a reason too.
“Speaking of which, I heard Alice rushed in because she couldn’t cut the Demon King. Yes, speaking of Alice, there was something I forgot to mention last night.” (Volt)
“Oh, that? What is it? Is it something important?” (Nobunaga)
Was it about when I took the star? Of course, I won that game. In fact, I won every game last night.
“Well, I’d like Alice to cut the Demon King.” (Volt)
…Huh? So, you want me to let Alice cut him.
“Of course, I’m not talking about you. Any other Demon King is fine. I just want you to let Alice have the chance to cut a Demon King if the opportunity arises. She has overcome one wall thanks to you, and if she gains the experience of cutting a Demon King, she should become considerably stronger.” (Volt)
I was surprised. I thought he wanted to make me be cut so he wouldn’t lose the opportunity to be the one who cuts. I thought he was holding onto the fact that I won all those games last night.
However, this is a problem. Letting her cut a Demon King?
“If the opportunity arises, but I’m afraid it probably won’t. I don’t plan on leaving the Great Forest of Owa, and there’s no reason to go hunting. Besides, if someone did attack, it would probably just be the subordinates, right? I doubt a Demon King would show up.” (Nobunaga)
“That’s fine. If the opportunity arises. And you should probably change your appearance soon, right? If you’re unlucky, you might catch sight of adventurers around here.” (Volt)
I want to avoid unnecessary conflict. Besides, if I make a move against the adventurers, Volt might come at me with his sword as an excuse.
I honestly changed my appearance, continuously eating the fruit I find and replenishing my stock. Three days later, we arrived at the human town.
Until we reached the town, we didn’t encounter any demons, monsters, or even adventurers.
Damn it, I overate and ended up with an upset stomach.
