Chapter 116 Uncanny Being (1/2)

One of the War King’s five generals…… Count-level, high-ranking Demon, Ironblood Bacchus.

What Alice said about how Count and above-level Demons are different from the rest, I could understand from his tremendous magic that it wasn’t a lie.

And then, in front of the Ironblooded Bacchus, the strongest maid, Ein-san, appeared in front of him as our reinforcement.

Seeing Ein-san confronting him, Bacchus happily smiled for some reason.

[My, my…… Isn’t this “the only Duke-level high-ranked Demon that existed in the Demon Realm”, Ein-dono…… An unbelievable person appeared.]

[Duke-level!? H- However, you say she’s the only Duke-level in the Demon Realm…… Shouldn’t there be multiple Duke-levels in the Demon Realm?]

Hearing the words ” the only Duke-level” that Bacchus mentioned, Sieg-san muttered with an expression that says she can’t believe it.

Indeed, Lilia-san said that there are only a few Duke-levels, so I thought it was phrased in a way that shows there were more than one.

[No, that’s just what the Humans believe for their own convenience. They think that because there are more than one Count-level Demons, there must be more than one Duke-level Demons…… In fact, Sieglinde-san was it? Let’s see. Do you know the name of even one Duke-level high-ranking Demon?]

[……N- No……]

Alice replies to Sieg-san with a shocked expression on her face.

[Even so, I never expected…… that ” The Guardian of Heavens” would appear…… Kaito-san’s connections of friends were really outrageous.]

[The Guardian of Heavens?]

[That’s what she was known for…… She was as powerful as the Six Kings, yet she only chose to serve her master. The Demon that didn’t become Kings…… The only Duke-level high-ranked Demon in the Demon Realm, Ein. The reason why there’s only one Duke-level high-ranked Demon in the Demon Realm is that she won’t move from her place…… She was such an existence that there were even some who said if one could be her equal, they would be a new King.]

A being with power comparable to the Six Kings, but didn’t choose to become one…… Now that she mentioned it, Ein-san had a rivalry with the Supreme Being, Chronois-san, and Chronois-san said that it still wasn’t settled between them.

That would mean that Ein-san is a strong person whose strength is equal to a Supreme God…… A- As I thought, she’s quite the outrageous one……

And then, Bacchus looks at Ein-san, smiling like a fierce beast.

I’ve heard about how smiling is originally an aggressive expression, and when that smile comes from a beast showing you his fangs…… That smile of his really looks like an aggressive one.

[This is great! I’ve been wanting to cross swords with you, who rarely appears in public, at least once. If I could defeat you, I could rightly call myself a Duke-level Demon……]

[Excuse me from all this tedious talk. If you want to fight, just quickly make your move. Unlike you, I’m very busy…… I must put an end to this as soon as possible, return back to the castle and prepare the “Special Deluxe Pudding à la Mode with plenty of Fresh Seasonal Fruits —- Garnished in a Seasonal Sauces” that Kuromu-sama has requested.]

You’re craving for something sounding so troublesome that just hearing that name gives me heartburn!? What the heck are you doing, Kuro!?

Then, that shopping bag Ein-san holds in her hand is either fresh seasonal fruits huh…… The obsession to come all this way from the Demon Realm just to buy it, as expected of the Perfect Maid.

[Well then, I will take your word to it…… One of War King’s Five Generals, Ironblood Bacchus! Ready for battle!]

[………………]

[Gafffuuu!?]

[……Eh.]

What the heck happened just now…… I thought Bacchus was just swinging his huge axe and closing in on Ein-san in that instant…… but in the next moment, the armor he wore shattered and he flew away into the distance.

In front of the dumbfounded us, Ein-san looked like she lightly swung one of her hands.

[I’ve wasted quite a lot of my time. Well then, I’ll be taking my leave…… Kaito-sama, I’ll see you again.]

[Ah, y- yes.]

Ein-san’s really strong!? One punch!? She just defeated him with one punch!?

She knocked him down so easily that I couldn’t even follow the situation at all, but Ein-san didn’t seem to mind him anymore, as after bowing with a curtsy, she disappeared.

She’s probably going back now to make that something Pudding à la Mode she mentioned earlier…… She’s seriously one of the top-class monsters I’ve ever known.

[S- She’s really outrageous, isn’t she…… That’s the power of the Duke-level…… I’m glad she’s an ally.]

[Yes, I agree……]

It seems that I’m not the only one surprised, as Alice and Sieg-san’s eyes grew round and stared at the direction where Ein-san had disappeared.

Anyway, that should be the end of the story but…… at that moment, I heard Anima’s sharp voice.

[Master! Those b*stards disappeared!]

[Eh?]

When I turned around after hearing Anima’s words, I saw that the bodies of Eta, Theta and Sigma that were supposed to have passed out there just now, had disappeared.

It wasn’t like Bacchus had taken them or anything like that. Bacchus was busy being beaten by Ein-san, and I didn’t think there are others here either……
