ep 46 Union end

◆-Side- Demonlord Castle◆ (TL: the perspective keeps switching to 3rd to Panthard's perspective so be careful -d-)

a vast land covered in freezing cold weather, the ice grains are blown violently towards the end of the ends.
In an environment in hinterlands that does have no mercy for ordinary, there one master returned to a towering castle.
A tiny clown found the coming Demon Garuda believing that the monster came from far away, and immidiately reported it to her master.

"Ma-Maou-sama! Maou-sama! the Demon Garuda came back!"

"just what are you screaming about. is MAou-sama here?"

"gegeh! Panthard! just when did you came back?!"

"just now" Panthard replied slovenly and he held the visor of his cap, fixed  it in place and started to walk again.

although recieving a withrawal order and returned the Demonlord Castle, Panthard recieved a shock at the fact the 3 demon generals were defeated.
even Considering the existance of the Master Knight, I thought that we could destroy the Avangard Kingom.
I don't plan to give in but we ,ourself, should have already enough strength in lay.
The magic beasts we had that attacked the castle town was etirely defeated by the high five , the greatest miscalculation was that girl from Avangard Caves.
it was under the pretext of plucking out a dangerous facter by instigating a monster but, at that time it no more than half-serious and half- playing.
I didn't think that she a monster to that point.
if at that time, i put the effort of crushing her---

"Panthard, though i've felt for a long time that you are disgusting, I shall be adding talking to yourself to it Kay" (9 congratalation Panthard earn title "talking to oneself"

"shaddup, you floating around, you are getting in the way you know"

"pffft, after this Maou-sama you will get a scolding from him,
thats why my Joy cannot be hidden! pfftss *giggles*"

I shove away with my hand the the small bafoonery that has been flying around before me as if it was obstructing me.
after that it didn't totally  bother, walking through the long and cooled corridor and before lies a woodern door.
as it opened with a peculiar sound, before it, everyone was already there.
no, it was not all of them. those who taken their seats was the 8 demon generals, the Demonlord and his 2 close aides.
"there sure is one not here", is what i thought but I immidiately understood.
[That guy] is still tottering somewhere.
that bastard lacking any cooperativeness, even resenting that point, nothing will begin.
only glancing at the vacant seat, Panthard didn't let it out from his mouth.
The 3 who died in the battle broke out to everyone, the people here had already grasp the situation.
On the long table, candles here and there are line up on it , the long table was arrange in a wide room.
Not just long ago, the monster that was making fun of Panthard was heading to where the Demonlord was.

".......before this i would like to apologize. I'm sorry"

Panthard apoligized while seated.
it atmosphere became silent but on the contrary no one condemned Panthard.
looking at the 2 close aides which was on both side of the Demonlord.
and of those two, was the armored person who announced the withrawal Order.
and then a middle-aged grey haired man wearing a Tuxedo.
Even if they are distantly seperated, the two of them are the only ones allowed to converse with the DemonLord.
if you compare the 12 demon generals and the two of them, its to the point of making you a little bit unhappy. (9: it didn't state what kind of comparison it is)
as to the point of self-depraction, Panthard was a feeling a little jealous to the 2 close aides.
even though from the start we didn't have any things such as hierarchy--

"now then, as everyone has already gathered, let us begin. though saying that, I've guessed thatll of you should have already catched on the agenda"

"I don't have any plans to critisize those who participated in the Avangard capture operation. just that there various questions to remain"

from the close aide in tuxedo, Batram's speech, a man whose face is covered in scales interrupted.
while his eyes were close, he place his feet on top of the table, it appeared poor manners.

"the part where , why ain't the master knight wasn't completey killed"

".......are doubting me?"

Juo was so dissatisfied  when he glaring at the scaled man.
the scaled man ignored it look over everyone and continued his words.

"If it was me i woulda have give my all to target the Master knight and then kill her.
that way they'll get more despair, ain't this way better?
and 'cause of that the enemy's morale on its own will go down.
starting a war and at the same time a surprise attack, if you drop of the head then its PERFECT"

"I see.....Doridon has a qualities of a demon"

The man that approved of it, was like a demon, had slanted eyes  and his fangs are jutted of out his mouth.
and then his long nails were scratching the top of the table, no one looked towards his eyes.

"stop joking around, Ganaws.
certainly there are many points of reconsideration and also we lost 3 demon generals.
there is also about what Doridon, Although don't we have another greatest factor?"

Panthard took offense towards Ganaws while he talked composedly.
Even though recieving those words the demon faced man, Ganaws, was as usual scratching the table.
greatest factor, all of them had already recognized it.

"its that girl called Ryua, isn't it"

Muttered by an old man with his humped back.
no one gave a coprehending voices back but that was their answer. (TL: basically no said, "i see" "yeah" "RYUAAA-TAAAAN!!! -d-)
Raising his completely wrinkled face , he pointed his finger upwards and started drawing circles with it in the air.

"if we had went with Doridon's , the result will be same.
to bring down a demon general in one it ........?
HA! if i saw this with these old eyes i probably wouldn't believe it"

"Thinking what will happen afterwards, that girl will probably be a obstacle"

The armoured person for the first opened his mouth on that point.
"if you had went the trouble to go the actual place, it would have been good if he fought the person" was thought by someone.
However, not one of the demon generals objected that person.

"fumu, well then won't all of the demon general be defeated?"

"Fuohoho" the old man laugh adorning himself in the joke.

"Nentoro, if that is the case then we will have you going first"

The armoured person didn't permit the joke.
"it was for real" all of the demon generals so believed.

" 'twas a joke. there might be a chance the all of us bite the dust but, the compensation is excessively too great.
let me think, if it was me i would hide myself outside this castle.
in other words, in accordance to the plans we had at first, let us advance with it"

"Fumu, are there anyone else offering their opinions?"

Batram inquired all of them and only silence was replied.
taking a glimpse towards the Demonlord who didn't talk, he was there not moving a wink.
what he may be have been thinking, Batram understood it. (9: butlers are awesome!! but i want one, a female one!!!)
however,  he did not do any kind of actions to pursue it at the place.

"i see your point, in that case regarding my proposal........Xin"

"y-yess?!"

The small clown fairy called Xin , jumped out as she surprised from the sudden nomination, and did a meaningless bow in the air.

"if you have the time to doze of on top of Maou-sama's lap then i shall give you a job"

"M-Me and that Ryua?!! no way! no way no way its to~~~~~taaally impossible!!
Generally, didn't that churchill was done in right? he was creepy guy but among the demon general doesn't he have prominent strength!!
and yet i willl~? geez, just what in the world are you saying!"

"Silence, no one here has any expectation of you ability you know.
listen here. i will have you observe this girl called Ryua after this.
what kind of person she is, what kind of food she like or hates.
when will she laugh, cry, get mad. what type of guy he like or what type he hates?
any trivial information is fine, generally speaking you will gather those up" (9: but ryua doesn't have any type of guy she like)

"eeee~? are there any~ meaning in that?

"at the present time, its a necessary information, if those are useful or not , i too won't know. It might be not of help.
however, there mght be a hole we didn't think it would be.
this is very important you know, only you can do this" (9: ........those last words )

"ueeeee........Ma-Maou-samaa"

".......i'm expecting good news from you"

With the Demonlord's low voiced one encouragement, Xin's face lightened up.
while encouragely yelling in a blink of an eye xin's figure was not in sight.

"it sure was simply done..........."

Doridon amazedly murmured.
Batram's judgement is likely correct, however inside the flow of the conversation  Doridon inside him he was fainlty looking for a way to get rid of Ryua.
but if he said it in this place, unconditionally he will be stopped.
Doridon was secretly waiting to test it out.

"we are in closing mood but, i have one last even i would like you to play in.......come in"

Nentoro, clapping his hand twice, beside the entrance Panthard came in, from another entrance, a monster came out.
and then behind it was Davitz and 3 Avangard kingdom solders was walking. (9: he is the guy that attacked Ryua when they were on they to avangard)

They had dubious faces as stare at every direction.

"Davitz-kun, thanks to you we had obtained various valuable information. You have our thanks"

"here too for, thanks for letting me out of prison by taking advantage of the chaos. after this i will cooperate with you guys a lot"

vuglar smiles floated on the face of the 3 "former" Avangard Kingdom soldiers too.
make a circle with their thumb and index finger, it was a gesture demanding money.

"its a promise. Here you go, you will be glad with these right?"

"Nentoro-jiichan , quickly finish it up. i only took here for that after all"

Juo sluggishly showed a gesture of his hand slicing one's neck to Nentoro.
Nentoro too nodded and standed up from his seat.

"now then, you guys are scum that sold their comrades for their self-interest and trashes that was being looked down on.
its like there was no change at all.........as I thought you scums don't have any worth living."

"haa.....?"

Davitz shut his mouth look like an idiot.
Nentoro moved his finger and then a soldier beheaded the other soldiers.
THe head danced in the air, from the cut end of the neck of the head let out blood while the head rolled on the ground.
in only just mere instant of difference the from the body this time spout out blood and then with no strenght and with no head it collapsed.

"e-eh.....? a-aa"

The soldier looked towards his own sword he was holding in his hands and towards his comrade's corpse.
and then taking in the situation and simultaneously his body didn't able to stop trembling.
Nentoro looking at that didn't look smiling, just sending out cold gazes.

"o-oi, what the hell are you doing?"

"no it was not me  m-my b-body just did it on--"

"Didn't I said it. I do not plan for a trash to live"

"Oi, Nentoro-san! this is not what we talked about! We are supposed to cooperated with you pe----"

"cooperaate?  hah!"

spitting out the phlegm from stuck from his throat, once again Netoro controlled one of the soldiers arm. without any mean to resist, unrelated with the soldier's will he drew out his sword.

"Did you trash really think that we were that serious on winning you over?
You trash should have known what kind of people we are, am i right?
We do not wish to coexist with anyone.
much less to you trash deserving certain deeath!"

once again with the Nentoro's fingertip, another soldier sank in blood.
the soldier frantically begged for his life but in only echoed only inside the castle, there wasn't even one person who swallowed it.
there were some that were calm, there were some who were grining, there were some who just closed their eyes.
the soldier who was left behind had his own sword's edge point hor before his own neck. (TL: the sword is posed for like slicing ones neck not stabbing -d-)

"please stop......i'll do anything.......please only my life, only my life, only my life pleaaaaaaassse!!"

thus from the three soldier's corpse produced a sea of blood.
Davitz who left behind didn't run away.
no, he wasn't able to run away. His legs can't move as if it doesn't have any will.
He also had his body's freedom stolen.

"please just forgive pleaasse............moommyyy......."

it was not an appropriate last word for a big adult.
Davitz stabbed his own sword on his stomach, and his life ended.
after the bried tragedy, without any hesitation Juo entered the sea of blood.

"hey suffer more, here you go"

Juo touched Davitz corpse, from the dying skin it immidiately turn into a color of violet, and before long it corroded.

"eeee~ww~"

"uee" rathan tan, a brown colored girl did a forced performance.
and then she plucked out a mushroom parasiting on her arm and then went near the soldier and softly place it on a soldier.
as if the mushroom was sucking out the moisture, the soldier's corpse thinned up.

"well now, let us destroy one of this people seemingly hard to forgive. Fuofuohoho..."

Nentoro who was watching Juo and the Brown skinned girl was still playing with the corpse finally pleasantly laughed.

"........now then, in succesion let us continue in accordance to our plans. \
Jhitchie, was the aforementioned conquering plan doing well?"

"ye, those guys won't even reach my children's leg or arm.
I heard that they were a large Magic Country, i'm amazed ye know~. totally seriouuus~"

"Then go back to your station. if that place falls the thing we gain are extraordinarily numerous"

"kk~"

dully reply back, a young man with his stretched out stone arm walked away from the place.
the demon General who were left one by one stand from their seats, carrying out their respective parts.
those who saw them off were the armoured person and Batram.

"Let us show you the world, Maou-sama. those mob by no means will be able to stand against the power of our Union....."

for the first time the Demonlord raised his head and from his eye a string of tear flowed.
he was not gazing somewhere, just staring toward to an indefinitely empty space.

◆side　Avangarde Kingdom◆

"Ryua as well as Roel, for these times you are promoted to B rank for your deeds.
later on I will from our side to report on the guild."

"Thank you very much!"

it has been several days since the raid of the Revived Demonlord army, we had become B rank.
"thruthfully even if its A rank you have no shortcomings" said by the king, but to be an A rank oyu have to take the examination Exam, no matter who they have to pass it.
a special case won't be recognized that it's why B rank.
regarding the requirements you take from the A rank advancement examination , and also you need pile up achievement or else you won't rise but,
I repelled the demonlord army, and it seems that Yuyu's evaluation of Roel is staggeringly high and its already plenty enough, was explained.
but still the advancement examination is still on the future, right now its not that mch, the starting day of the examination is still not yet fixed.
if i became A rank i can enter Ikana village, however i have something i'm curious about and inquired it.

"King, just what's the Revived Demonlord army? ah, what might it be?" (TL: first part "King, just what's the Revived Demonlord army?" said it without keigo or informal while the next part is formal/keigo -d-)

"About that we don't know much.
so, we had already given you your whole reward, you already do not have business here"

Kirkton working as guard neaby the king ordered his subordinate.
The soldiers seemed to push our back, and halfway they were coercive and then we were took out of the castle.
somehow strange, yesterday they said that they will explain while today they evaded it.

"i wonder if its ok to recieve this much?"

up until now the amount of money that we haven't had,is now shaking and making a jingling inside a bag in roel's hand.
if we had this much, for the next while we won't have any money troubles i believe.
but somehow its we are kinda stuck. is this really fine?

"hey Ryua-chan, about this money.........is it fine if we give this to the victimized people?"

"yeah, me too, i thought of it just now" (9: these girls are too pure, the evil in my heart is kinda dissolving TT_TT)

i thought of it from the bottom of my mind looking at the conspicious destroyed building.
looking to an extent at the waiting line where food are supplied, there were a great a number of people who won't be able to return to their normal life.
i don't know how much this money can take care of but it should frankly serve a purpose.

"this is right after all, then its decided"

lets return the money to the king.
when we decided we retraced our steps and then from the place where the rubbles are being cleaned up, Gantetsu voice called out.

"yo, the two of you.
even though it was the long-waited festival, it sure was a disaster."

"Gantetsu-san. about this money......that's right.
If its Gantetsu-san then he should be able put it to use....."

when we explained, Gantetsu-san keeps saying "are you sure it's fine".
following along with the tenacitiy of our intention, Gantetsu might have agreed, he crossed his arms thought for a bit.

"I'm glad that you i have your trust but, sadly i can't take it.
You girls should properly explain it to his majesty."

"i guess you're right......sorry for being for being unreasonable."

"You girls must not think of money exhanging lighty.
before you know it, it would be come an exchange of life.
that is what kind of thing money is"

i too followed and imitated Roel, we lowered our head in assent.

"by the way you girls, what do you plan after this?"

"ee,  unnn.......i wonder~"

Glancing over the surround, Gantetsu might have seen through us, his hand restrained us.

"don't worry about the reconstruction.
you girls to the bitter end are Adventurers, treasure that one"

"b-but I-"

"You have a goal right?"

That's right, my goal.
There are a lot of thing i want to know but among those there is particularly importing thing.
but still there are totally no clues that why i can't do anything.

"um er, the something demon was it.
I don't know about its whereabouts but, if its the sage of the WizardKingdom then he might know it"

"sage?" (9: sage-mode is gotten when you get rid of your "fleshly desires")

"I don't really know well but Sage hust is very famous ya know.
he is called living thesaurus of knowledge, i heard something like he had crossed over 100years old"

"one hundred?! if it's that person then he can know anything?!"

"I-I said that i don't really well you know.......it hurts let go....."

I was stimulated so much that i had reflexedly held on Gantetsu-san's collar.
I also got stopped by Roel.

"now that you said it, Yuyu also said something.
she said that if I get compared to the Hust-sama from WizardKingdom my level is only upto of that of a baby...."

WizardKingdom. when i thought "i wonder where i heard it" it was Tolppo's birthplace.
but i wonder what to do to go?

"aah, but about the liner sailing or not......after all we are in this unusual situation"

Gantetsu-san was scratching his head awkwardly.
liner, so that means we need to cross over the sea with a boat or we can't go. (9: ryua can just probably run on water with Roel on his back)
sea, i wonder if it was the blue thing spreading out when we went out of the Kizel Canyon.
Sea and ships words that i had only heard in talks.
i want to ride one, i cannot just stand still.

"eh, ah, hey ryua-chan! what's the matter?"

I took Roel's hand and headed towards the port.
Not listening to Gantetsu-san who were detaining us, even though i don't which direction.
for some reason, i'm getting really excited.

"Ryua-chan, we have to return the money to the king first.

hearing those words i finally calm down.

◆Throne Room◆

"Your Majesty, is it fine to release those two?"

Bermund quietly inquired the king.
The king rest his back on the throne and he narrowed his eyes, he was starting as if Ryua and Roel are still there.

"sooner or later they will come to rise to A rank.
we can wait until then, for that, Bermund.
Make haste on the reconstruction adn the advancement examination."

"haa......however with the present condition we are barely there......
we don't have any allowance to cover everyth----"

"hurry it up"

"ye-yes your majesty!!"

no answer other than yes was allowed, only a short order full of majesty resounded.
Bermund jogged away from the place, and the king who saw him off quietly close his eyes.

"Ryua, is it. its excellent, very excellent, outstanding talent.
that girl without a doubt will become Avangard's power."

suddenly at the same time the thought about Tifelia floated but, it was immediately erased.
i found a replacement, if its like that then a lass who is not guaranteed to get better, the thought can only pass by.
even for only in an instant the more he think, the existence of Ryua inside the king remarkably shined.
