Akuyaku Reijo Nanode Rasubosu o Katte Mimashita

The tension in the conference room was relieved by reports that the example mansion was engulfed in flames.

In a room where the bishops within the Duchy of Mircetta meet together, the silver candlestick shakes and stretches out the shadows of the priests.

"So what happened to the Demon King?

"I don't know about that one, but Walt and Kyle would have been disposed of for sure. It was a blast."

"Well... but how many more years does it take to grow that much delicacy"

"That's why we can't put it by the Demon King. Those two know too much about themselves."

"Oh, no, it's heartless. Kyle Elford must have been raised by you yourself. Bishop Elford"

I slowly deepened my grin at the irony of the next bishop, who came all the way here to see how things were going.

"It's for the church. You understand it's her. That's why I raised him."

Besides, he's already been helpful enough. Slowly fucking laugh.

(Now the story of me becoming Cardinal proceeds without delay)

It wasn't just the merit of raising a brilliant “nameless priest," it gained even more standing by making it handy.

Cardinal Lisanis, Walt's hindsight, has long left Walt alone in form of hindsight and has only treated him as one of the “nameless priests”, so it is unlikely that this issue will become a liability issue. I didn't even bother to check the results of the disposition, saying I should dispose of the matter tonight or by church rules.

But I used to treat Kyle like a son to pawn him. If the Demon King used Kyle, it would be a liability issue. The status you built so far collapses all at once. That's all I had to do.

And then Kyle could use it, like, two or three years.

On average, the life expectancy of an "unnamed priest” is around twenty years, or twenty-five years at the most. That's also often unusable in the second half, just like the abolitionists. It would be the price of an excessive intake of demonic incense.

If we converted those many circumstances, we were right to dispose of them before they did harm to the Church.

Of course, I'm willing to spare.

He was an excellent tool, raised with care. If only the Demon King hadn't laid eyes on me, I would have used it a little more - so I sighed. At that time, there was a slight lightning bolt in the sky with no rain or clouds, and the shock fell.

"Hey, what? Lightning strike?"

"Where did it fall"

"Gentlemen, calm down. It's just thunder."

The light fell overhead. Along with the explosion, the arch of the cathedral blows away. A blast blew out the candle fire on the candlestick at once.

"Excuse me for the night"

In the wind, which sounded very loud, my voice echoed.

It is also a voice that often passes into the numb eardrum. Open blurred eyes. There was a man coming down, wiggling his dark hair and cape from the half-baked ceiling. A bright white tablecloth on the long desk where the priests are seated is trampled on in the ground.

Brilliant red eyes in the lightning of a cloudless night sky.

"Demon King......!

"Why, here"

"I was waiting because we said we needed to talk about the treatment of my escort, but the mansion at the rendezvous point exploded, so I decided to interrupt you directly here"

"Kyle...... Walt Lisanis......!

Unexpectedly call the name of the person who stood on the table following that demon king.

Why are we both alive? But the Demon King did not answer such an ordinary man's question and looked around.

"Who is Bishop Elford?"

My throat rang. Did you hear that, the Demon King walks straight over the long table?

The silver candlestick collapses, and the dishes that were on the table fall and crack. Every time the Demon King walked, priests and bishops sitting on their seats beside each other sat down, or slipped out their hips and sat on their buttcakes. I don't give a shit about that.

And from above, I looked down at myself.

"I apologize for the delay in greeting you. This is boring stuff, but I'll take it. Recommended."

Fluffy burnt boxes float from the hands of the Demon King. Shortly after rejection, the box fell on the lap of Bishop Elford, who could not even stand.

"Kyle and Walt by the way, but for some reason it was about to explode suddenly, so I rewrote the magic that the church would have done. In church, magic can be misrepresented."

"Ma, mistake......?

"There's no way you're gonna try to blow up my escort without permission, is there?

The lightning shines behind the demon king. I can't read the expression in the backlight. I just see red eyes laughing like the moon.

"So the point is, would you give me Kyle and Walt again?

……

"I know. But don't bother that you haven't expelled them from the Priesthood without a name. Of course I think the church is like their home. Let's get him home too. I want you to be free to go in and out of church."

"... Nah, nah."

"Thank you. I hear you've been kind to Kyle. Don't worry about it, it's a natural consideration. Just remember, their orders and their lives are mine."

You're just a spy if you allow that. I'd say so, but I can't move with my tongue caught in the red eyes of the demon king who increased his pressure.

"I'm glad you understand. Don't worry, I'll take care of Kyle and Walt."

"... I'll stick around for a while, but Dear Claude, we haven't had a conversation since earlier..."

"I hear my heart. Or are you just gonna refuse?

Moment after moment, lightning struck again. Keep standing, lightning keeps running around the perimeter of the building.

The demon king in front of me flat out.

"Oh, it's weird weather today. I hope it subsides soon."

I could hear screaming and rolling off the chair from everywhere. But the Demon King was just waiting for a response, as if he had heard nothing.

Even if this perimeter turns into a burning field, you'll look the same and wait for a response.

It was at that moment that I set my belly.

"Oh... I'll tell you what, stay"

"You've got a good raised parent, Kyle."

Moving her gaze from the Demon King, Kyle narrowed her eyes only for a moment. but immediately lay down your eyes and answer.

"Thank you for understanding, Bishop. Rest assured. I serve Lord Claude sincerely."

"... ca, il... oh, you, betray me before I die!? I raised him. Forget about it!!

Before Kyle answered, the thunder fell straight in front of him.

In an instant my heart soothes and my throat dries up. A fearful looking up demon king laughed for the first time.

"I'm going to be told I'm arrogant when I put it this way - how long do I have to stay standing?

The chair the Demon King is looking at is where the highest man sits on this occasion.

It's this chair I'm sitting in right now.

Those red eyes tell me to give it to myself. No, I'm laughing that there's no way I won't give in.

I held my fist for a long time. With trembling lips, respond.

"- Excuse me. This way, please."

"Thanks"

The Demon King, who was given a chair by Bishop Elford, sits back at ease. Walt and Kyle, who jumped off the table, stood in formation by each of those sides.

"Come on, let's talk a lot. I want to get along with the church, within my tolerance. Yeah, I'll have to go say hello to Cardinal Lisanis later. Keep your touch."

To the words of the Demon King, each breathtaking or face-to-face.

Bishop Elford nodded and held his fist. Is it at least the salvation of Cardinal Lizanis that will be equally entangled? No, that can't end it.

Church night, it wasn't even about to dawn.
