Chapter 24 (1/2)

「…… It’s probably here. I can feel Kazuha’s magic power from here.」(Ruru)

「Ruru-chan really knows her stuff~. As expected of a former spirit, right~?」(Tao)

「I am still a spirit you know.」(Ruru)

「!…… She’s inside that black and silver door……!!」(Ruru)

『Demon Lord’s Room』

「Oh? Good job making it here. Considering the fact that this castle is a large labyrinth.」

Behind me, Ruru and Tao stood in the doorway looking at me.

『Gugugu……!! You[onore]……! This much power even though you’re a little girl……!』

The Demon lord still has the face that says she wants to bite my head off as I take a knee.

「She is…! This castle’s master……!」(Ruru)

「Really? …… So she’s the 『Demon lord』?」(Tao)

Tao and Ruru stood still in a daze.

What? Come to think of it……

「Didn’t you guys encounter any monsters on your way here?」(Kazuha)

I’m sure that there are swarms of totally strong monsters out there but……

「……Now that you mention it, only a few appeared」(Tao)

「Yes. Furthermore, they seemed to be weakened.」(Ruru)

Weakened?

Have they eaten something bad.

……. Or not.

『Gu……Gugu……Gugugu……!』

…… Ah. I see.¹

「Hey. You, Demon lord, born under the name called boing.」

『GU……! Don’t call me with weird that name……!! Gugu……!!』

Aa~h. The 『effect』 is slow as expected~.

That’s our Demon lord, perhaps.

What a casual shock~.

「Perhaps the monsters are weakening as the Demon lord weakens, is that it?」(Kazuha)

I throw a single question.

During my 『first time』 and even 『second time,』 I had no idea about the 『state』 of this world after I defeated the Demon lord.

If the monsters are granted the right to exist through the Demon lord’s 《power,》then.

The moment I defeat the Demon lord, maybe the demons of this world will also disappear.

(So primarily, peace will occur in this world and it will become a happy end……?)

『Gu……Gugugu……! O-of course……Gugu……! I am…… the demon’s king after all……!!』

「Righto~. Okay~」

So it’s really that.

And because I bound her 《power,》 the castle’s demons weakened.

「Perhaps……? Kazuha……? You……?」(Ruru)

「? What’s the matter? Ruru-chan?」(Tao)

「Yes. Right now, I’m in the midst of casting 《bind》 magic.」

「She, as expected, can’t invoke magic unto the demon lord unless it’s a great amount of magic~」(Ruru)

The geometric pattern -magic square- beneath the Demon lord’s feet increased it’s brightness.

「Oh. Shall we go?」(Kazuha)

『Gu…… Gugugu…… Gugugugu……!!』

「Kazuha…… You know, as a person you are……」(Ruru)

「Just what is it? Please explain it to me too, in a way that I can understand! ……….. What is 《Bind》!?」

Then, light was emitted from the magic square.

And the demon lord’s room was illuminated.

『GUWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!』

『Yay. 《Bind》 complete♪ aa~h I’m hungry~』

N?

Somehow both the little girl and China girl’s shoulders are trembling?
