「……Does you like curses or something?」

「It isn’t anything like that though.」

As Orel tried to shrug his shoulders at Vermudol who was confirming Orel’s status with a bored face……noticing that it was impossible to do, he ended up only making a slight movement.

This place was the Demon King’s Castle, the throne room.

The one that was lying down in front of Vermudol as he sat on the throne was Orel who was tightly tied up enough that he couldn’t really be considered lying down.

At both of his sides, two Magic Operated Armors were standing at attention.

「Still, to be able to confirm Status without the use of a 『Reveal Crystal』……You seriously are the Demon King-sama, aren’t cha.」

When Orel said that, he fixed his eyes on Vermudol who was sitting on the throne.

It is said that even the predecessor Gramfia was a black haired young man similar to Vermudol at first.

Orel, who was a novice among the Majins, only knew about Gramfia’s appearance after losing all of that but……Compared to that stifling dreadfulness, the lethargic looking Vermudol that was before his eyes seemed unreliable.

「Well, that’s true. So, there is something I want to ask you but. May I?」

Accepting Orel’s gaze from the front, Vermudol continued the conversation.

Vermudol also knew the meaning of Orel’s gaze.

He was fully aware that he was being looked down upon.

In actuality, the one that beat Orel up was Ichika, and not Vermudol.

However, Vermudol considered that there was no meaning to this fact.

What was important was the fact that the one with the highest position in this place right now was Vermudol.

It was only that one point that was important.

「……It’d be nice if it’s something that I can answer though.」

And then, Orel also understood the meaning of Vermudol’s gaze.

That’s right, upon being made to understand everything, the current Orel was being looked down on.

As Orel was lying down like a worm, Vermudol was looking at him with eyes that seemed like he was truly looking at a worm.

「No, you don’t have to worry about that. It’s fine if you don’t answer to things that you can answer.」

Mixing in even a smile, Vermudol made such a consideration.

It was a lightheartedness that was similar to talking with a close friend or something.

For example, if it were a situation where they were talking facing each other at a desk, there was no doubt that Orel would look down on Vermudol from the bottom of his heart.

But right now, despite being under this abnormal situation, Vermudol talked to Orel with a lightheartedness and intimacy that was similar to that.

Even if both of their positions were reversed, Orel thought that Vermudol would contact him in the same way.

He was able to clearly imagine that scene.

Orel shuddered while not tearing down his fearless attitude.

Or maybe, that was the way the spirit worthy of being the Demon King should be.

Even while he felt like he was going to be overwhelmed by Demon King Vermudol who was before his eyes, Orel showed that he braced himself.

「For the time being, I was thinking of trying to unify the Dark Continent. Would you have any good ideas for that?」

「……Ha?」
