Chapter 44: The End of the Feast and The Strongest Title Part 2 Himekishi ga Classmate Isekai Cheat de Dorei ka Harem (1/2)

『The coming of a hero…you said? Ha, isn’t that precisely just a fleeting rumour that is said to come about once every thousands of years? I thought that you two leaders of the demonic faction would not stoop so low, and be deceived by a mere rumour 』

Duke Vladoveri who possessed the draconic demon blood and the Mythological Fox Spirit Mikura.

They suddenly paid an unannounced visit to Iblis’s castle, and whilst they were indeed a part of the eight demonic family, they were also of a higher rank than Iblis…..In any case, the rumour they were speaking of was once foretold by the absolute ruler of the demon world the “Demon King” and this “Hero” was a legendary job that could potentially destroy the demon balance that existed in the demon world.

「Nn~ If it really is just a rumour that would be for the best. However, this time around it seems to be the “real” deal」

〈Baru Varusu, that fellow was completely destroyed〉

『What did you say……..!?』

The immortal dragon Duke Vladoveri, spoke with his huge face still peeking from the tear in space, and even Iblis could not withhold the shock she held and was rendered speechless at the fact that had been told to her.

(…….”Duke of Hunting” Baru Varusu-sama died!? Even if he was the lowest in ranking amongst the eight noble demons, for him to d-die……..Did he get destroyed by the so called Hero!?)

Strahl who was wearing his lion mask, trembled from the words spoken and slumped into the floor.

The fact that one of the eight noble demons had died is an event that is as momentous as the event when Palmyra’s family was wiped from the demonic plane several hundred years ago.

「Well, I don’t really care that Barubaru-chan kicked the bucket and died…..after all, I really hate that guy nee. But, the problem is that a human being did this, and it seems to be that person」

『You are saying it is none other than the proclaimed “hero”…..?』

“That’s exactly right~” said the blond foxy eared demoness as she spun her pipe in the air and smiled. Although there was a huge amount of tension right now, for her, this was her usual way of acting.

「I see…….it seems that both the revival of the “Demon King” and the appearance of the “Hero” are indications that this is no longer just a mere rumour. So the fact that the Hero has appeared, is leading you to believe that the key to the resurrection of the Demon King, the so called “Divine Corpse” is also something that truly exists…..is this about right?」

The one who opened their mouth all of a sudden was Cruz who had silently been on his knees next to Strahl.

For someone of his stature, Cruz was probably not qualified to interrupt the conversation of such big figures who were standing before him, and the demonic swordsman Strahl stiffened his back and a sweated when he saw this happening…….It was not weird at all, that if you managed to make any of these three demons unhappy, that you would instantly be annihilated.

Moreover, he was hiding the fact that the Iblis camp had already discovered a fragment of the Divine Corpse and collected it.

「Well, I suppose that does sum it up. That’s why I surprised Ibi-chan and came here without any notice」

However, Mikura just casually replied to Cruz’s remark. The rumours about her character being whimsical seemed to be true and Mikura was truly one of the most unpredictable amongst the eight demonic families.

To begin with, the only person who has ever called the others with the honorific of -chan is Mikura and she is the only one that has gotten away with it.

〈Indeed. This is precisely why I advise that you start speaking the truth, this is for your own good〉

Once again, the Draconic Duke let out an overbearing aura whenever he spoke, and it was enough to make the heart of any ordinary man to explode in agony.

However, Iblis’s body was covered by a high density of magic, and within the sphere she was unaffected by his intimidating voice. Her lack of agitation to his clear provocation was proof of it.

『It is as you say…..In recent years, I have perpetuated the fact that the Divine Corpse exists, and have been searching for it』

Her words weren’t a total lie, and she cleverly mixed in half-truths in her story…….Cruz was gloating secretly at this display of shrewdness.

『And, I have obtained an important clue as to which human being may be able to provide us with more information. That person is——The Slavemancer Tooru』

「Hmmm……The Slavemancer Tooru, ne?」

(I-is this where Iblis-sama plans to drop his name…..?!)

『That fellow, is also convinced of the existence of the Divine Corpse and is in search for it. For that end, he has kidnapped the Princess of the Ranbadeia Kingdom in order to use her skills of Prophecy………It is quite possible, that he has already obtained a fragment of the Divine Corpse. Aside from that, I have not been able to obtain any further piece of information』

〈————————〉

The three great demons stayed silent for a while. A tense feeling was tormenting the stomach of Strahl.

「…….Well, fine then. Although it isn’t as powerful as the job of the “Hero” it is still one of the legendary rare jobs, Slavemancer………If it is true that this job has also come back into our world, then aren’t things starting to become a little interesting? Nn anyways, sorry for the intrusion kay, Ibi-chan」

〈Be careful not to let your guard down——Don’t expect that my suspicions of you will be cleared up from a little thing like this〉

Zuzuzu……..The large dragon head which was peeking through the tear in space finally released his talons and returned to where he came from.

Mikura the fox who was holding on to her metal pipe and had countless fox tails, along with the shaking of her gigantic breasts that seemed like it would spill out of her Japanese clothing, disappeared back into her own dimension.
