Chapter 59 – The Church Moved

Translator’s Corner (Cast: Smoggy the bear, Yuuka and random passerby)

Smoggy: Ne,ne, Yuuka san, has running races between friends became a trend amongst humans lately?

Yuuka: Has it? I don’t think so, why?

Smoggy: Whether I visit the local fish markets, I always see the humans running the other direction, screaming:

“What’s the point?! We can’t outrun that thing!”

“As long as I can outrun you, I’m fine!”

While pointing at me. Any idea why?

Yuuka: Who knows, they did the same thing when I was at the hospital the other day.

Smoggy: Want to try running alongside them someday?

Yuuka: Sure, why not?

Several days later…

Smoggy: Yuuka san, are you seeing this? : ‘Psychopath and beast running amok at fish market, causing mass panic’. We were there the other day, thank god we didn’t run into them! By the way, the psychopath in the picture kinda looks like you…

Yuuka:No idea.

Life in the Royal Capital

Chapter 59: The Church Moved

The Devil Grucius was patrolling around the forest when a sudden incoming telepathic communication confused him.

「Hm? Is something wrong? 」

Several of his teammates from the frontier garrison who were worried about him asked him simultaneously.

These good-hearted fellows, not doubting that I’m a devil. Unaware about it himself, Grucius sees the illusion of real companions in them.

「Nothing, I’m fine」

I replied thus, and they were relieved.

Nothing’s wrong whatsoever, that’s outrageous.

I am now receiving the contents of the telepathic communication.

(Grucius! It’s an emergency. When the time comes, act in accordance to your judgement! We are currently at war. I’ll contact you again when we win. Until then, you’re free!)

There’s no doubt, something’s happening.

This is the first time I’ve heard panic in demon Karion’s voice. Just who is his opponent?

It was irritating and I can’t think of anything.

What should I do? He told me to make my own decisions, but I can’t think of any measures.

After that I tried to telepathically communicate just in case, but nothing came out of it.|

Grucius’s heart was gradually filled with anxiety while paying attention in order to prevent his teammates from realizing his unrest.

The face of demon lord Clayman was filled joy after receiving the report.

Karion was the one who tried to persuade Milim, but it somehow ended up as a battle.

That’s good. Indeed, there are few demon lords that will still be merciful after being annoyed.

According to the report, Milim triumphed over Karion with overwhelming combat prowess, and even blew away the royal castle, Morotomo.

Rapporteur Frey said so while elegantly drinking tea.

The other devils apart from Frey, who were spies, all reported the same thing.

There’s no doubt.

Demon lord Karion is dead. Even a strong demon lord such as Karion was no problem if you have “Absolute power” (Milim Nava) in your hands.

The 10 great demon lords who ruled over Makai.

Among them, 3 individuals including myself grouped as 1, now, 1 member has disappeared.

Moreover, to have tried to threaten the absolute strongest, the last moments of the demon lord Karion will be good publicity.

「Kukuku, everything is going on smoothly, just as planned. 」

「Ara? Is that so? I am glad that I was of use. 」

Frey stood up and gave words of agreement without having ulterior motives.

「I’ll be going back, but what about Milim? From the looks of the battle, any devil trying to settle the matter will be ripped to shreds? 」

Tsk. With a frown on her face, Frey looked at Clayman.

「It will probably be fine for you to take care of it. After all, you and her are friends right? I entrust it to you, please accept it. If my castle is destroyed, I wouldn’t be able to bear it. 」

Hearing such words, Frey goes「Yare, yare 」 while shaking her head.

「Even though I don’t want my house to be destroyed? Well, it’s useless no matter what I say right? 」

「It’s great you understand. You may go! 」

That attitude shows that he doesn’t even treat Frey as an equal anymore, but rather a subordinate under his rule.

Frey didn’t show any signs of discomfort in her expression, she sent a piercing gaze at Clayman and left.

A smile appeared on Clayman’s face after making sure that Frey left.

Everything is going well.

Everything is going according to the plan of “that person”

Unlike a prophecy, things don’t always go as predicted, but progress is smoothly made.

In the original plan, the Orc lord was designated as the new demon lord. The reason for backing this plan was in order to manipulate the said demon lord.

Since our interest met, we both decided to work together. Even if the plan fails, there are no losses.

But then, a suspicious monster appeared, and it created a monster town. As soon as this was known, the plan was modified to utilize the town.

To use our common interest as bait, using the monsters in that town as bait.

The bait was bit, and luckily the one who bit it was the strongest demon lord.

Clayman started his plan, first, by intercepting a multi-layered barrier.

Then, as usual, he carries out his periodic report.

A trustworthy partner.

He has sworn his allegiance to the true master……

Ever since Myulan joined the Frontier Garrison, every day was an extremely busy day.

Just because she took up the duty of a shaman, doesn’t mean she’d be any less busy. Sometimes an individual curious about the dark arts would come along, and she would teach them.

If they were simple curses, she could teach them. Before she became a devil she was originally a witch. Teaching curses used by humans is a simple task.

What she was busy with was as a staff officer, another one of her positions.

In the first place, asking a newcomer to take up the position as the staff officer is not a good idea…

(To put trust in a devil, these people are overly good-natured!)

That’s probably the impression she had if she were to put it in words.

Giving commands for the platoon to meet up in the monster’s city, and reporting to the captain. She’s been handling all that.

To think of her as irresponsible is virtually impossible.

Even so, in the midst of all the discomfort, there were also a lot of thoughts.

After interacting with people for a while, long- forgotten feelings started to resurface.

And,

「Myulan, is it fine? Please tell me your response soon! 」

Said by a man courting her, she looked back at Youmu.

From the start, I felt his gaze when I infiltrated the Frontier garrison.

I was on alert whether we were discovered, but Grucius said he didn’t fell anything.

What is happening? When I was thinking about that, Youmu gazed over here. When our eyes met, he looked away in embarrassment.

But recently, not only his attitude but even his words contain hints of courtship.

He said,

「I love you. Please date me! You will definitely be happy, I promise! 」

ED: That’s not a hint
