Chapter 486: She Feels More Like a Teacher Type (1/2)

Although I had experienced one of the biggest crises ever, the rest of the ride went on without any problems, circling around the large grassland and returning to where Neun-san was.

When we got there, Neun-san came up to us…… looking pale.

[……W- Welcome back. U- Ummm…… I heard what Magnawell-sama said earlier…… I- Is Zwei-sama coming?]

[S- She's not coming! I mean, if she's coming, I'll run away, okay!?]

Catching Lynn as she flew towards my embrace, I listened to the conversation they were having. Neun-san was apparently also afraid of this Zwei-san fellow? Seriously, what kind of person is she?

[Ummm…… Is this Zwei-san really that scary?]

[……H- Hmmm. Rather than scary……]

[Zwei-sama is, how should I say this…… She's strict to others just as she's strict to herself…… Especially if someone acts in a way that degrades Kuromu-sama's reputation, they will receive a long and stern scolding……]

When I asked what kind of person Zwei-san was, Dr. Vier and Neun-san responded with a rather complicated expression on their faces. Seeing as their words were even slurring, they must be pretty scared about her……

[Sister Zwei is the oldest one in the family, except for the Six Kings-sama and Sister Ein. Without a doubt, she's the busiest one among our family.]

[Busiest? Is she doing some work or something?]

[Unnn. Kuromu-sama is one of the Six Kings after all. About one-fifth of the Demon Realm is recognized as Kuromu-sama's land. But, you see, Miyama-kun already knows about this, but Kuromu-sama doesn't like ruling over others or anything like that, right?]

[That's right.]

Although Kuro is a powerful being, she does not consider herself superior to anyone else. She may show her majesty when she needs to act as one of the Six Kings, but she basically doesn't like standing above anyone else.

Kuro sees Dr. Vier and Neun-san as ”family”…… She treats them as equals. Territory management is probably not the most appropriate word when one thinks of Kuro.

[And in place of such a Kuromu-sama, the one who rules the land owned by Kuromu-sama is Sister Zwei. And she's handling a fifth of this vast Demon Realm…… Handling all of it made her very busy.]

[I see…… Incidentally, who is it that manages the other members of the Six Kings' lands?]

[Lillywood-sama and Magnawell-sama are in charge of their own lands. Megiddo-sama doesn't manage his lands at all, but he had excellent subordinates, so he seems to be getting by. As for Isis-sama…… There are no beings living on her land to begin with, so there's nothing for her to manage. As for Shalltear-sama…… Well, people don't even know where she is, so no one really knows if she even has a land of her own.]

[………………….]

……She's currently hiding behind me after all.

However, I see now. Zwei-san is something like a Feudal Lord, and from Dr. Vier and Neun-san's reactions, she seems to be a very strict person.

As I think about this, a smile appears on Neun-san's lips as she continues.

[If Ein-sama is supporting Kuromu-sama out in the open, Zwei-sama is the one supporting her behind the scenes. She's a very dependable person.]

[Hmmm, from what I've heard, she sounded like a serious and hardworking person…… And yet, the two of you are afraid of Zwei-san?]

[……I'm scared.]

[……Yes, I'm scared of her.]
