Chapter 44: Interlude
11:40 p.m.
Kassei Hyodo and his members gathered in the department of the old school building.
Each of them waits by the way they can relax the most. But everyone was wearing school uniforms.
Kiba is equipped with hand armor, and his calves are also equipped with equipment. And the sword stood against the wall.
Kitten-chan sits on a chair and reads a book. He wears open-fingered gloves on his hands.
It's like the one worn by martial artists. A child-faced girl wearing this kind of thing has a subtle courage. (Note: open-fingered gloves for mixed martial arts)
Senior Sister Zhu Nai and Minister Lias were both sitting on the sofa, drinking tea elegantly.
Ah~~~ It's really our sister, and I'm really calm......
Hyodo Kassei sat in his chair, just quietly waiting for the time to pass.
Ten minutes before the start, the Rubik's cube in Lias's chamber glowed, and Miss Grufia appeared.
"Everyone, are you ready? Ten minutes to go. β
After Miss Gurefia confirmed with everyone, everyone stood up.
Miss Grufia then proceeded.
"Once the start time is reached, please teleport from this Rubik's Cube to the arena. The venue is located in a battle world created in another dimension. It doesn't matter how gorgeous the fight is there. It is a space that will be lost when you run out, so please use it to your heart's content. β
'Hah. I see. It's a battle field. The demon even has that kind of thing ready. β
Indeed, if you fight somewhere in the human world or the demon world, destruction is inevitable, and it may even cause various effects. It is necessary not to do harm to the world in whatever you do.
It's a good idea, but Issei Hyodo has one more question before he competes.
"That, Minister."
"What's wrong?"
"Minister, don't we still have a [monk]? What about that person? β
That's right, the minister said it before. Own a Monk.
Although it is not because of other tasks now in other places, it doesn't matter if the situation is not so big now?
After Hyoto Issei asked, everyone except himself looked a little strange.
'What's wrong?' It felt like touching something that couldn't be touched. The atmosphere changed completely. Everyone stopped talking all at once. β
"It's a pity that another [monk] was unable to attend. Sooner or later, the time will come. β
Minister Lias looked at Hyoto Kassei and said.
It seems a bit hard to say. This topic may be better off at this point. Hyodo thought to himself.
But what is it that you have to do in advance if you don't have to do an important game for the master?
I really can't figure it outΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
In a heavy atmosphere, Miss Grufia spoke.
"This time, everyone from both sides of the [Rating Game] will be watching the battle at the relay location."
'Really, fake. β
'Do you want to be seen?' Spectate the battle. It's really laid-back, a relative of a superior demon. In that case, the minister's parents will also come to visit, and I don't want them to see me in a different place. β
'No! Wrong! There is the hole card that Mr. Du Ren gave meββ! Please see it when the time comes! My sassy heroics! β
"And the Demon King Lucifer will also come to watch the battle this time. Don't forget that. β
'Demon King! Demon King!? Wow, I'm so nervous. Our leader wants to come and see, how remarkable this game is! Thinking of this, Hyoto Kassei was very excited.
But the minister seemed to be very surprised.
"Brother? β¦β¦ In this case, my brother will come and see it directly. β
ββ¦β¦ Huh? β
Hyodo Kassei suspected that his ears had heard it wrong.
'What did the minister just say?' Brother, brother, ......? β
Hyoto Kassei raised his hand with questions and asked.
"That, that, just now, the minister asked the Demon King to be my brother is ....... Did I hear me wrong? β
However, Kiba replied.
"No, the minister's brother is the Demon King."
'What ......'
"Demons, Demon Kings~~~~~~~!? The minister's brother is a demon king!? β
"That's right." Minister Lias nodded without hesitation.
'It's really fake! Really!? No, wait. But the minister is the [Gimonri]. The name of the Demon King seems to be better, isn't it......
Lucifer, Beelzebub, Leviathan, Asmodeus β
Whichever name is wrong?
"It's because the minister's surname is different from the name of the Demon King, so it's confusing, right?"
Kiba said the question in Hyoto's heart on the spot. It's unpleasant, but it's true.
"Ah, yes."
Hyodo Kassei agreed, and Kiba began to explain.
"The previous Great War Demon Lord was mortally wounded and has passed away. However, demons cannot live without demon kings. It's right hereβ"
The demons will inherit the name left by the demon king to those who have great power.
The current four demon kings are the successors who inherited the name of the first demon king, the most advanced demons.
I seeβ
Lucifer and Beelzebub are not personal names, but now they are just job names.
So who is the Infinite Dragon God mentioned by Teacher Du Ren before? Sounds scarier than the Demon KingΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·
"To tell the truth, the demons are the weakest of the three forces of the gods, the organization of the fallen angels, and the demons. It's in a pretty dangerous situation now, but because the current demon king doesn't lose the power of the modern demon king, he barely keeps the demon side. β
β¦β¦ In other words, the demonic society is also quite tense right now......
The book in the library also says that the Demon King has already died, which is really quite devastating.
"So, does that mean that the elder brother who is the minister of the highest demon has been chosen as the demon king?"
"That's right, Sazex Lucifer - [Red-haired Demon King], that's the minister's brother, the strongest demon king."
βSazex Lucifer.
It's not [Gimmonri], it's [Lucifer]β
Already, it's a different name from the ministerΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·
ββ¦β¦ Therefore, it is not possible for a minister not to inherit the family. β
Because my brother became a demon king, there was no way to do that.
'My brother is saddled with the entire demonic society. It's amazing, Minister, even the family members are so outstanding......
"It's almost time. Everyone, please come to the Rubik's Cube. β
At the urging of Miss Grufia, everyone gathered in the Rubik's Cube.
"Also, if you move over there for a while, you can't transfer until you end the Rubik's Cube."
In other words, when you come back, it's time to decide the winner and the loser.
The pattern of the Rubik's cube changed into the commonplace Jimonri, and it emitted light.
It's not the Phoenix family. It's supposed to be for the competition, right?
I hope Mr. Du Ren can bless me!
But this power Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Should it be used or should it not be used?
