I Misunderstood the Date and Saved the Demon King

31. Ah! That’s difficult!

The girls in front of me were demon lords, not heroes. The moment she realized she had mistaken the date, Lethe had made her next decision rather than condemning her own stupidity.

Let’s try not to become a demon king. Maybe it will be my strong ally.

In that way, I put aside my lingering feelings for the hero and did my best for the demon lords. However, at some point, the result was the demon girls who disappeared at the same time as if they had promised.

Some might have trembled at the feeling of betrayal, while others may have sighed in disappointment, but Lethe made another decision. Now that this has happened, let’s change the route as a war hero.

It has always been like that. She thinks a lot before making a decision, but once she has to, she doesn’t hesitate. In that sense, making a decision came first rather than contemplating a decision.

Smart-

“Did you call, brother?”

“I am here. Master.”

Boom!―

“I’m here, mister!! Did you miss me!?”

“… Excuse. Ashu.”

When I told them to gather in the room for a while, the four demon lords gathered in an instant. Their hair color, personality, and what they do are all different, but one thing is the same.

“Everybody sit down.”

After Lethe offered her seat to each, she served her own refreshments. While Astaroth ate and drank eagerly, saying ‘hehehe!’, Marmar and Sitri couldn’t even touch it properly.

“Why don’t you eat? Do you hate tea? Would you like to change it to coffee?”

“Oh, no. Brother. Are you okay. So I am I am….”

“Originally, I have to prepare for this… The owner is doing it….”

Ah, was it because of that? But ahh, that guy drinks and eats very well. While thinking, Lethe looked at El, who was sitting across from her.

Then the silver demon king looked at Lete and carefully asked for a snack.

“… !”

Delicious from the look! It’s just that it’s buried very boldly. Watching him mumble with a cookie in his mouth, he starts to get very confused about whether that is a demon king or a hamster.

“Listen while eating. Hey guys. Um, there’s something I want to ask you first.”

“Tell me!”

“I will listen, Master!”

“Dgoisyeo!”

That’s because it’s okay to just listen while eating and drinking. And ashu, don’t talk while mumbling. As she said that, Lethe smiled involuntarily.

This look. It’s the same as when there were four demon girls in her own house in her past.

“The academy raid that happened a while ago. Didn’t the demons in your opposition faction commit it?”

“Yes. Brother.”

“I will. Master.”

“Didn’t I hear that you captured and killed all the demon lords who strongly insisted on war?”

Nodding nod―

“Then, are those guys just about the rest of the demon lords?”

“Um… It’s a little too much to just say Suha. Brother. To be more precise, it should be the rest of the demons.”

“Mar is right, master. Except for the four of us and the demons that follow them, the other demons still want war. Whether they win or lose, it doesn’t matter what the outcome is.”

After hearing the words of the two demon lords, Lete shook her head, saying, ‘Hmm, they’re crazy as well.’

Those who call for war unconditionally, win or lose. Why do you go to war Were you trying to win? Wasn’t it aimed at winning and taking everything from the loser?

Humans, elves, and dwarves all fight for that reason, but the demons just want to fight. Once again, I understood why the demons were protesting that they could not follow the four demon lords.

As a bonus, I also thought that he had done a greater job than I thought.

“If I had captured all the demon lords, I would have been able to organize the other hardline demons without leaving a single one behind.”

“It is possible. However, for some reason, I left it for now….”

“I didn’t finish everything because I wanted to see the owner soon! Hey, if that bothers you, let me know. I’ll run right away and dry Mr. Everything that’s left!”

At Citri’s cry, Astaroth, who was munching on snacks next to him, said, ‘What, do I have to kill them all?! Then what about the head? What about the head? You can’t harvest anymore?!’ He muttered in a worried voice.

“… No. Don’t do that.”

Fortunately, it turned out that Astaroth’s worries were unfounded.

“Rather, it went well. I mean, they’re still there. I also thought you guys had dealt with most of it with all your heart and soul, but it seems that wasn’t the case.”

“… Me, brother Even if we are wrong….”

Then Lethe said, ‘No. It’s not wrong, but rather good.’ He stroked Marmar’s head.

“Ah! Uncle, me too! Touch my hair just like that!”

“Yes, yes. Now. Okay?”

“Hee hee hee!”

“Me too! Please touch me too, Master!”

“… Me too.”

Since she has two arms, Lete, who was very busy stroking the demon lords’ heads, decided to answer Mar Mar’s question about why she did well.

“That way even the whining ones are relieved.”

“… I didn’t understand you, mister. Can’t you put it a little easier?”

“Me too, older brother. I know that the whining people belong to the hardliners, but… Are you sure? Rather, wouldn’t you be anxious at the thought that the demons might attack again?”

Of course it will be right now. Because you don’t know when and in what way demons who want a war may cause an accident.

“But the important thing is this. The demons feared so much are divided and fighting each other. They’ll think they’re biting and biting each other, not one huge group of mad dogs like they used to be.”

As recently as a few years ago, demons who were dying and biting their opponents suddenly said, ‘I hate war! Peace is good!’ Who would easily believe that?

Even if I killed the demon lords who wanted a war, they would only worry about whether it would be a trick.

However, what if you see one side shouting war and the other side shouting peace? On the outside, you will see the possibility of widening the gap in the gap, even though you may say, ‘As expected, demons are an unbelievable race!’.

The four demon lords will have the illusion that they will have no choice but to choose peace even more for the sake of internal organization.

“Now it is important to erase the fears of the cowards and the assertions of the coalition hardliners. In that sense, the fact that you didn’t kill all of them and kept them alive to some extent has become useful in its own way.”

War Hero was a success. Now, as an academy instructor, I want to live a decent life. But now it’s with the demon lords I saved before.

Two conditions are required to pass this quietly without any problems. The crown princess’ stable accession and the final downfall of hardliners.

However, the two conditions conflict here. Hardliners have to be suppressed to put the crown princess on the throne, but she doesn’t want to do that by force.

I don’t know if it was the heir’s guilt stemming from the current emperor’s mistake, or if it was his mistake, but he put down his pride and even mentioned a ‘request’, asking him to believe in himself.

She is his benefactor. She believed in her from beginning to end and she silently looked after her. The reason why she did not waver despite countless envy, jealousy, and checks was because she was supported by the crown princess. She

She wants to do him a favor just because she does. The hardliner’s blade hadn’t reached him yet. If that’s the case, maybe give it some leeway.

“Then master… Are you intentionally trying to show the demons’ problems and let them know that you can fully control them from this side?”

“If you have any problems or other opinions about that, please let me know. You are demons no matter what. Because it’s the devil. Any complaints about him.”

From noble mtl dot com

Although not as much as the goddamn dwarfs, I know that demons also have their own pride.

The difference is that elves are nobility. To the extent that demons come from strength?

Anyway, in the picture Lethe is drawing now, there are inevitably demon lords. She has to use these women sitting in front of her as a foothold. I didn’t get it to use it like this, but for now, this is the best.

So I’m even more sorry. If this is the case, isn’t it no different from the guys who dragged the girls in the past?

“What nonsense are you talking about, mister!”

“Are you like that? Sorry, ash Then your opinion—”

“No! Not that! From the moment you saved us, our lives already belonged to you. Even if it puts us in danger, we! No At least I’ll follow. Don’t even ask Just talk!”

Chuck! Astaroth raised his hands on his hips and took on a majestic pose like a demon king. However, no matter how well she looked at Lethe, only that red-haired mess from her past came to mind.

“Ashu is right, older brother. We will follow whatever your brother says.”

“You are very worried. Master! You still think of us that way!”

“… Tell me, Lethe. What should I do?”

Who should pull out the head this time?! Just say the word and I’ll give you his heart. Who can I kill! Tell me the goal. Who!

“There is an imperial banquet. Go and play a bit.”

“Eh?”

“Yes?”

“Master?”

“… ?”

Do you want to go to the banquet and play? Was that the reason for such a serious atmosphere?

The moment the demon lords face each other, tilt their heads and say they don’t understand.

“Be calm. As if nothing had happened. Cutting off the head, pulling out the heart, drawing blood, and killing all of them by turning their eyes away is absolutely forbidden.”

Ah. Ah! This was a very difficult one!
