85 85 "Role of the Demon King" (2/2)

With this in mind, Keiji will be able to answer the questions about the actions of his wife, the demon king.

So is that why you decided to go behind the scenes this time?

Well. To tell the truth, I think this imperial hero thing is a good opportunity. I'm only going to be of help to those kids. Well, if things get out of hand, then I'll take care of the rest. Even if I had to take on all seven heroes, I'm confident I could hold them off on my own.

It's scary when you say it, because it's rather serious.

So with a bitter smile on his face, Keiji thinks about the main culprit in this case, the Imperial hero.

Why did he make a move at this time, and why did he explicitly name Kyou and the others? That's the first question that Keji felt.

I'm not sure if ...... is what the emperor's guy is after as well as us.

”Huh?　That youngster?　It's not going to happen. It's either us SS-ranked demons who know the truth of that world or ......

Then the demon king stopped talking when he realized the possibility.

No, if that's the case.

As if to answer the question, they arrived at a door at the end of the passage.

They nod their heads together and slowly open the door.

Inside the darkened room, they enter to see the SS rank behemoth, the demon king's cousin, who seems to be trapped there, but there is a sight they did not expect.

This is ......

”Hey, hey, what the hell is going on?

The two were puzzled by the scene. I'm sure you've been thinking about this for a while now.

I see. ...... So that's what happened.

What do you find out?

”Yeah, probably ......

”That's what you're thinking. Lord Demon King.

The two people instantly turn around at the voice from behind that suddenly sprang up.

The person standing there was an unexpected person for both of us.

You can visit ......

I'm sorry, but I'm going to need you guys to stay here for a while longer to see how things play out. Above all, it's a parent's role to see to it that their child grows up.

What does this person mean? The demon king instantly understood this and grasped the whole story of this case and uncharacteristically stuck his tongue out with a ”tsk”.
