Chapter 07: “The demon pelt that they made”

「Merea, you used 〈Future Stone Fiunace〉 didn’t you?」

「-Ough!?」

(TN: Surprised sound)

It has been a year since the future stone resulted into 『Lord of Demon Lords』 Even now, there are times where Merea collects future stones

At tiathered, the results haven’t changed nor improved for the better

On the other hand, the population of the spirits have decreased to a single digit

That day, Flounder was asking Merea while ely forced smile

It seems Merea’s actions were found out

If that’s the case, then theythe stone in order to not let the spirits use them

「I knew it By the hat’s the result?」

「Erm… G-Great hero?」

「Merea is not really good at lying right」

「Yes…」

To be precise, he is bad at lying to the spirits ere also his parents

Though he could fool the children of the heavenly dragon that comes down to play with unnatural nursery-tales ether, if the opponent is Flounder his tongue always falters

「Let ht?」

「Eh!? H-How did you know?」

「Haha, I ed to predict such a little bit That prediction has been growing larger and larger within on〉Clautice about this world recently」

「What kind of story?」

「There’s a ru on in this world lately」

「De…」

「-Un There’s so fishy about it It seems the city-states in this world had ht」

Flounder said while suddenly straightening his posture Merea ihtened his posture a bit as well

Flounder took a breath and as if readying hian to e

「I’ve already told Merea about the description of 『Deeously powerful and personification of evil to just an outrageously powerful being, right?」

「Yes, a bit」

It see the Demon Lords

「About those words, in the past, it was not well-known to the point of being wide spread So』 seeht? 」

Flounder seehed

「Around the tieously powerful and personification of evil was called a Demon Lord However, around the time that I died, the 『Personification of Evil』 portion was re that was really powerful The era where I lived e」

Turning point

As to how the transition happened into that , of course Merea still didn’t know

To that Merea as guessing the reason in his innerhts, Flounder on the other hand just turned a question towards him

「By the way, do you have any idea how did it changed that way?」

「Nhn…」

Merea had several ideas as for the reason However not even one see out of tiuess, Flounder spoke before him

「It’s because the Demon Lords that are the personification of evil have drastically decreased And before everyone realized, the threat they posed didn’t exist any longer The tyrannical ones that had that much of power and were smeared with evil were mostly slain」

「Isn’t that a good thing?」

「Un, on that part」

Flounder’s sed into bitter one

「But due to that the 『Common Enemy』 of the humans– rather of the nations have ceased to exist Because they had common enemies before, the various nations didn’t really pay anythe the saerous atmosphere have enveloped the various nations」

「Have a heart!」

「Even if you co Anyhow, that resulted in this time, war has erupted between various nations」

It was an awful story Merea thought to be blunt

「And so as the wars erupted between various nations, the ed by the convenience of the nations」

「What do you mean?」

「Those nations have desired a strong power to use in wars」

Well, in other words, for theo to war and to win it, they desired a reasonable amount of power They’ve probably set aside their various proble

「While speaking of “great power”, the word “demon lords” come out However, the demon lords are now next to none Their nu」

「un」
