Chapter 1 (2/2)

But this is but a fantasy world, so appearance and power are disproportional

She pants heavily as she raises her eyes I take a glance at her, and since round where I was

I can’t go back to the bed yet It has to air And cli up to the top of the bed is a pain

The woman stared at roud

“… Wh-what!? Y…you’re… t-that bad!? H-how about you try saying so at least?”

She’s an exceedingly troublesome woman

Especially the part where she immediately resorts to violence Let me add that as this woer than an average devil Devils have various ranks, and between a normal Demon and Demon Lord, there are numerous positions Within that, the position one lower than a Deuess she has as much power as a General This world is definitely a Fantasy, but because of the separation by rank, and the glass ceiling, I guess there’s not really a difference between this world and that one Well, I guess her skill level is deserving of it, but…

This is a pain

“I’ainst violence”

She grabs me by the cuff of my shi+rt, and shakes me back and forth

Therein is the forer than her But in the end, with so my sleep is… impossible

“What? You’re going to close your eyes in a situation like this!? Impossible, irrational, what the hell is up with this Demon Lord!!?”

She slaps ets in a feell-placed body blows

She uses an uppercut on et me airborne, and continues with a beautiful coup humans

This one… even after transferring jobs, she isn’t showing any mercy

The shockwaves e from each blow rip apart the cover, and feathers fly everywhere in a flashy display

That Kanon guy’s going to be getting an invoice for this… of course, I won’t be the one sending it

But in the end, trying to disrupt my sleep with this much is… impossible

It’s not like I’e

A difference between here and japan is that a few things fro called HP, and as long as that doesn’t decrease, et any wounds, and I won’t feel any pain

Noreher your VIT is, the lower the dae

This entire world is built off of para them, you can make a clear calculative comparison It’s quite a pain

And despite everything, h Every tiets in the way, andbeaten up by a baby

This isme sleepy

But she sure is an annoying woman Just what is her attribute supposed to be?

My curiosity has been peaked ever so slightly

“Hey, you What’s your…”

And there, I breathed in a deep sigh I flopped onto the floor, and rolled over as I averted aze

“Don’t Stop In The Middle Of Your Sentence!!!!!”

She really is a noisy woman I really don’t have that much interest in you, you know

I openedthe way, I realized I didn’t care

The sole of her foot comes down on the defenselesskicked around like a soccer ball, and finally, she presses her sword against my face

Don’t be bringing out a blade here Not that I plan on saying anything, but…

A fewherself, all that was left was the Great Dey, and e

“Hah… hah… This man… I’d heard about it, but… H-he’s hard…”

Of course As long asheed to my environment

With h temperature, low temperature, poison, and even paralysis, and all other status ailainst me

It’s not like I was born this way, it’s a skill held by those of Demon Lord Class

But the details are a pain to explain, so I’ll omit them

The woman opened her hand, and stared at her own palm in amazement

“So this is… the Demon Lord of 『Acedia』…”

Watch closely, and bear witness Now kneel before my power

And if I may beseech you, please quiet down I assure you that’s the only path that will make everyone happy

Part 4: Sloth and Depravity

Even if I didn’t really wish foras I’m a Lord, I have my own men… my own retainers

I’m the natural ene so God’s followers see me as their complete nemesis I should add that a few other demons and Demon Lords are after me for selfish reasons as well

To suh I haven’t done anything, I have lots of eneuy declaring world domination or heavenly dooal If I didn’t have any , I would probably be dead

Every quarter of a year, someone with a Hero or Savior Class tries an assault, and once or twice a year, heavenly soldiers coed into soht, so I’uess the world is at its end

The Great De’s folloho seems to be named Lize has her arms crossed as she stares at me with an unpleasant expression

“Dehter Dolls For your achieveainst the Demon Lord Granzer Esther, under the na Kanon, you have been pro Dehty Demon Blade Celeste”

“I see”

It’s not so that concerns me

As she reluctantly hands over the sword, I toss it aside without looking at it

I don’t need a sword But it’s not like I want a shi+eld or anything, and of course, I don’t want any medals I really don’t want status either All I want is quiet time to rest

“AAAAAAAH, what are you doing to the sword Kanon-sama personally sent you!?”

In hot haste, Lize picks up the sword, and hugs it to her body as if it were a precious artifact as she glares at me

I don’t even know the difference between a Deet off the bed, so I have no opportunities to use it Even a kitchen knife would have been more useful

Well, I wouldn’t be using that either, but…

“… I can’t accept this Why the hell are you getting a pro!”

“No idea”

That’s so your e of your time

Just aze had become tiresome, so I fell face-up onto the bed

Lize had splendidly destroyed the other one, so it’s brand new At first, I longed for my old one, but now it doesn’t really bother me All that’s necessary for me is simple sleep

I don’t even know the reason forin the first place I have no idea whether Rank Three is even high or not

All of it doesn’t really matter

But perhaps because she was unsatisfied withher foot I don’t know just how long has passed since she first came here, but my impression of her as a beauty has been shattered with not a trace of it left behind I guess it’s true that you can get tired of beauty The only thing left is her annoying portion, and I’ used to that one

“Don’t think I don’t know! The one leading your army was Deije the Usurper! He led it as he conducted the assault on Granzer’s armies!”

“I see”

Who the hell is Deije the usurper?

Well, it doesn’t really matter I’m not that interested

Lize let out a sigh as she looked at uess she was also getting accustomed to me It’s that power of human adaptation

“It was a splendid strategy I guess the ruest were true They trampled Granzer’s forces as if they were children… I can see why Kanon-sa your current behavior”

“I see”

“… Are you even listening to me?”

“I see”

I turn rabbed the body pillow that was just about ht I love to sleep, but I also love to roll around after waking up

Lize’s eyebrows rise as she pulls the pilloay There was no helping it, so I hugged the cover instead

“… Anyways, I was only sent to watch over you by the Great Deive you a word of advice As a De unto Deije for his distinguished services”

“… That’s right… Who was Deije again?”

“Haaaaaah!? Could it be that you don’t even reion?”

That’s the sort of thing Sloth is

And I don’t hold any interest towards the demon known as Deije

It’s a bit troubleso so preciously

“… I’ll give him that sword”

“Hah? Are you serious? No ive the De to an ordinary Demon?

“I don’t need it If it was so, then perhaps I would consider it”

A new mattress, or mabe a pillow, or maybe even a replacement for the armchair that was brutally destroyed Kanon actually has a bit of a generous side to hi nice

“Divine goods… treasures of the Gods… even if you may be a Demon Lord, do you think a Demon like you could use them?”

(TL: Bedding (寝具) sounds the same as Divine Armaments (神具))

It was the first ti at a monster

It ithout a doubt, aher would be a pain

“… That’s right”

“I see… so you’re not just some ordinary loafer…”

Loafer… This wos

Well, she can say whatever she wants I have no interest in her words

I turn ives a sense of security

Having acco I set out to do, I yawned deeply as I closed my eyes

“Ah, wait a sec’ boss Leigie”

What a loud person It’s always like this Whenever I try to sleep, everyone gets in my way

I’ to sleep either way

“Oy, Demon Lord That’s Deije”

As I was saying, who the hell is that?

I roll my shoulders, and forcefully lift my heavy eyelids

In front of le man

He was a large and muscular man His beardless face was like a se pair of curling horns

But his most prominent feature was his arms, three on each side for a total of six

And on his head, a sily warped s

“Who the hell are you?”

“… You’re the sae of your Legion’s third brigade”

“I see…”

The male demon who proclai of his appearance

So this is the Deije Lize was talking about a while back… I see…

Yep I don’t care

“And do I know you?”

“Of course, boss You’re the one who appointed ade in the first place”

“… I see”

I’ades I have, but anyways, it seems he’s quite an important person

My instincts are telling me that the Demon called Deije possessed quite a bit of power

“The one who ignored that girl Medea’s opposition, and appointed uess you’ll never change”

Who’s that girl Medea supposed to be? I looked in Lize’s direction, but as she didn’t seeirl’s a well-known one in my army

Well, not that it matters

Na else They all don’t matter to me Just do whatever you want

I rubbed my head into the pillow as I spoke to Deije

“Iyo”

“Yes, it is an honor that I have answered to the Boss’s expectations”

Deije lowers himself On his actions, Lize tilts her head

“… What exactly is that 『Iyo』 supposed to mean?”

『I』 will leave it to『yo』u

『I』 am satisfied with『yo』ur work

(TL: In the original, it’s Yoha, but it’s a co)

It’s a phrase that says both at the saot to be a pain, so it’s soht up If you just say it whenever you want, they’ll interpret it however they want, so it’s quite convenient

But answering her would be a pain, so I’ll just ignore her

“And what are you here for again?”

“Yes, thiswhether or not the boss was deciding on a reward to bestow onto me How about it?”’

There’s nothing to how about it

I don’t care about that All that’s important for me is to strive for a sleep more comfortable than this one

I looked down on Deije with cold eyes Of course, it was a pain, so I didn’t voice my opinion

“I’ll award you that sword”

OnHis eyes glowed red like a carnivorous beast who had just caught sight of its prey

He licked his lips before turning his eyes back to me

“It is an honor too great forfor… no, I’ As you can see, I have six arms here, so…”

“Deije, you bastard! When you’re just a run of thethat the sword the Great Deh for you!?”

I hold up e The body pillow she’s holding issounds, and it feels like it’s about to burst I’d appreciate it if she were to stop

It’s loud It’s a pain Can’t she close her mouth for a second? I just want to sleep here

It looks like his attribute is Greed It’s natural for him to want more

Deije of Greed and me of Sloth will never have a conflict of interest

I recovered my pillow from Lize, and spread it out belowpatterns on the ceilings as I answered

“Ask what you will”

“Yes, so would it be possible for me to have another of the boss’s special 『Dolls』?”

That was a bit away from my expectations

If it was so a new doll would take a bit of effort

“… That sounds like a pain”

“I beg of you, it can be the most basic type, so…”

This rotten greed It see to answer his desires, or unless I kill him

I wonder whether killing hi a new doll would take more effort

It was a while back, but it seeuished service

If both options will take the saive him a doll

I look over the room, and picked up a candle holder from the closest side table

The holder had a design reseo with this

I tossed it over to Deije as is

Deije accepted it with a full smile

He traced its form with all six of his hands

“Boss, this one doesn’t have a soul”

It’s ‘cuz I didn’t give it one

“Would it be better if it did?”

“… Surely you jest A doll without a soul is but an itehter Dolls”

“I see”

I guess I really will have to put in some effort, or he won’t leave

There’s no helping it Let’s just get this over with

I yawned as I pointed er at the soul-less skeleton

I used a skill

And with that, a presence began to eminate from the doll

Arant life to dolls

It’s a skill I specialize in That’s where I get the Slaughter Dolls part of my title

“Is that good enough?”

“Yes, I will happily accept it Could you also grant a name onto it?”

Giving a name is an important ceremony for a Devil The naeration that the naives way to neers

But why is it that I have to do so like that?

“… If you get some more achievements, I’ll consider it”

“… Ki ki ki, understood I’ll do my best to not croak out there”

He laughs in a creaky voice, before retreating I guess it’s aover Greed, but I don’t really care

With a grim expression, he took the sword froe like a scarecrow

“Well then, boss I’ll request another audience once I get some merits”

After a single, deep bow, he left the room

No, you don’t have to coive you whatever you want

You don’t even have to ask me I’ll leave it to you

And so, just leave me alone

Depravity and Sloth Those are the only reasons for my existence, and that’s all I desire for
