Chapter 861: Meeting the Six Kings Executives - Ten Demons Arc ⑩ (2/2)
In the center of the large room, which had few windows and felt somewhat dim, stood a figure that I assumed to be Moloch-san.
The woman was about 160cm and dressed in a rather revealing ethnic costume that looked like something you would see in the desert or warm regions like that.
The intricate tattoos, unsure if they were magic-related or not, that marked her brown skin caught my attention. Her hair was gray and she had large goat-like horns on her hair and a thin black tail.
The impression I get from her appearance is that she's completely devilish, and I could also feel a unique dreadfulness from her.
Upon seeing us, Moloch-san gave us a beautiful bow, and when Pandora-san and I approached, she looked up and staring at us with her amber-colored eyes, she spoke.
[I have been waiting for your arrival, Miyama Kaito-sama. I've been looking forward to the day when we could meet like this. I am one of Phantasmal King's executive subordinates, the Ten Demons. Codename: Moloch…… and my real name is ”Satania Darklord. It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance……]
[Ah, yes. I'm Miyama Kaito. It's also nice to meet you. Errr…… What should I call you with?]
[You can call me whatever you like, but so that my true identity isn't revealed, I use my real name when I'm not on duty as one of the Ten Demons…… It would be my honor if you would call me Nia.]
[Well then, I'll call you Nia-san.]
After exchanging a quick greeting with Moloch-san and Nia-san, I decided to ask her about something I'm curious about.
[……Also, by code name, does that mean that it's an alias?]
[Yes. We, the Ten Demons, have been given codenames by Shalltear-sama. However, those who don't have original names just use their codenames as their real name.]
[Come to think of it, the executives that Miyama-sama has met up to this point have all had their codenames as their real names, including me, so I apologize for forgetting to explain about that.]
Moloch-san and Pandora-san answered my question. However, I see, codenames huh. The expertise of the Phantasmal King's subordinates are indeed covert-related, so I guess it isn't surprising that they would have codenames.
I see, so there are some members of the Ten Demons who have separate real names…… I guess I'll have to make sure I know exactly how I should refer to them.
<Afterword>
? ? ? : [……There's that guy who naturally pretends that her real name doesn't exist though……]
Serious-senpai : [I mean, in Pandora's case, it seems like she had completely forgotten that she ever had a real name.]
