Chapter 543: Encouraging Sword and Thieving Dragon



「Wow…. There’s nothing here, but this building alone is magnificent.」

The building was so beautifully constructed that Haruna couldn’t help but let out her voice the moment she discovered it. The color tone is unified with chalk, which makes it unbelievable that this is a place where the Great Demon Kings gather, and the decoration is also artistic. It has a solemn atmosphere, as if it were a temple dedicated to a god.

「Hmm, no matter how you look at it, I think it’s different from Lily-shishō’s and the other Great Eight Demons’ preference….」

「Rather than being built by one of the Great Eight Demons, I think it was here from the start and they are just using it for their meetings. For example… it really was a place to worship the god of this world?」

「Haha, no way~」

Chinatsu was very sharp. In fact, this was a genuine temple that Agalia, who once served the goddess, used to receive oracles from her. Almost everything related to the goddess, including statues of her, had already been destroyed, but the temple itself is still in use even now.

「I wonder what this stall next to the entrance is? There’s a sign that says 『bargain sale』….」

「Hey, rather than that, let’s just get inside.」

「Okay!」

「…… Yes, let’s move on.」

The three proceeded to the inside of the building while glancing at the new mystery.

「OOHOHO! OOHOHOHOHO!」

「Ah, maybe this room?」

After walking through the passageway for a while, they found a plate with three names written on it in large letters. 『Haruna-sama, Chinatsu-sama, and Touko-sama』. Moreover, everything is written carefully in Japanese kanji. Also, there was a characteristic laughter coming from inside that convinced them that this was the right place.

「Wow, it looks like a waiting room TV!」

「It was mystical, but it suddenly became modern.」

「Didn’t Danna tell you not to mind about the details? Well, in my case, as a maid, I can’t help but mind about it. Ah, there’s dust here!」

「She finished cleaning as soon as she said that! Touko-chan’s cleaning ability is not to be underestimated!」

「There’s no end to it if I mind the details, huh….」

Thus, the three entered the room.

「OOHOHO―― ara? Arara? If it isn’t Haruna-san, Chinatsu-san, and Touko-san! Thank you for inviting us today, desuwa!」

「Hello….」

「Therese-san and Wee-chan!」

As expected, Weerel and Therese are in the waiting room. They are sitting around the table picking snacks, and in front of them are empty bags of Quitet-marked snacks. And next to them, there are people who Haruna and others didn’t expect to see.

「Zeta-san, Satella-san, and Ōkuni-san are here too!?」

「Hello.」

「Long time no see~. Are you doing well? Ah, you’re going to fight against Deris-san, so I’m sure you’re doing well. Fufufu.」

「As for me, we just met the other day de gozaru.」

Yes, sitting next to them were Zeta, Zex’s close aide, Satella Baha, Rimudo’s wife, and Ōkuni, who was the former last rank of the Sixty Six Demon Generals.

「Y-Yes, long time no see. Everyone seems to be doing well…. Wait, I feel like the way Ōkuni-san speak is different from before….」

「Hohou, as expected, you’ve been watching and listening carefully. I’m impressed once again de gozaru.」

「T-Thank you…?」

Chinatsu can’t hide her confusion. Ōkuni hasn’t changed at all on the outside, but on the inside, he is completely different.

「Actually… I met Ōkuni-san by chance… at Maria-sama’s live concert at the Jiba continent….」

「At Maria-san’s live concert? Wee-chan, did you go to listen to Maria’s song?」

「Yes…. She invited me as part of an apology for the incident that she caused before…. I’ve been interested in the singing ability of the diva of the demon king world for a long time… so I took a day off from work and came incognito…. It was so amazing…. I was deeply moved….」

「Hee, Maria is good at singing, huh?」

「She’s far above good. It’s something that transcends singing de gozaru! The exaltation that unites the entire audience, the composition full of originality and ingenuity, and the realism that can only be experienced on the spot, I can’t even put them in words…! I had never been to such an event before, but it opened up a whole new world for me! I even changed my way of talking to this in the heat of the moment de gozaru! Now I can’t talk without saying gozaru! I’m thankful to my brethren for recommending the concert to me!」

「I see. But, I won’t retort the details, okay?」

Ōkuni succeeded in changing his image with the power of song. It seems that Chinatsu decided to accept this fact alone for the time being.

「That’s how it happened…. We hit it off at the venue, and now we’ve become friends….」

「Maria-sama’s singing is in the realm of god, but Weerel’s singing was also amazing de gozaru. I became a fan of both of them in one day, and I can’t stop wondering what to do with this rising heartbeat! …… Ah, I’m an undead, so I don’t have a heart! Hahaha!」

「「「………」」」

「Also, I change my sword from a real sword to this glowing magic sword. The Quitet shopkeeper said that the sword is a special weapon called Light Stick, and now it’s become familiar with my hand! This is not a sword to kill people, but a sword to encourage my comrades and the singer! De gozaru!」

「「「………」」」

「I heard about it after coming here. It’s very unusual for the shy Wee to be so open to people other than me and Haruna-san and the others desuwa. I was so moved that I was very excited! OOHOHOHOHO!」

「Fufufu. I’ve known Weerel since a long time ago, but I’m happy to be friends with the others as well.」

Satella looks at Therese with eyes filled with affection.

「By the way, is Satella-san here as Rimudo-san’s attendant?」

「Well, I rarely accompany my husband, but… there’s a thieving cat, no, a thieving dragon on the island. The stress accumulated, and I didn’t know what she would do if I let my husband go alone, so I came here with teleportation magic ♪」

「I-I see…?」

Satella’s expression when she said that was still filled with affection and didn’t change at all. …… However, Chinatsu felt something cold on her back. In all probability, it’s a topic that shouldn’t be delved into.

「Ah, you don’t have to make such a worried face, you know? No one is going to kidnap you this time ♪」

「Ahaha, that’s because Satella-san is a little clumsy~」

「Jeez, Haruna-chan! You should’ve said that I have strong motherhood there!」

「………」

Chinatsu tried her best to empty her mind to erase her desire to retort.

「Still, Quitet’s sweets are delicious. What is the difference between our production method and theirs? I really don’t know. It’s an eternal mystery. I’m confident that we’re not losing in terms of nutritional value, but….」

「…… Zeta-san, if it’s okay with you, I can help you make some sweets. I can only give you average advice, though.」

「Oh, sweets? I have confidence in making sweets! After all, it’s a must-have skill for a maid!」

「R-Really!? Please teach me!」

In the end, Chinatsu found a healing space.
