Chapter 012 (2/2)

Moul’s emerald green eyes sparkled.

It was a light green light.

The ability to manipulate plants, 【Magic Eyes of Greenery].

The ivy that received the power of Moul’s 【Magic Eyes of Greenery] started to move, and tried to restrain the Beastia.

「Wh, what’s going on!?」

Not knowing that Moul was able to do such a thing, the Beastia panicked and tried to cut the ivy with their swords.

Moul watched intently at their state with joy……However, she clicked her tongue at Nino who was cutting up the ivy without a care. However, after seeing that she wasn’t moving, she judged that Nino was giving it her all to cut them up, put her 【Magic Eyes of Greenery] at full throttle, and moved the tree roots from underneath the stone floor.

The tree roots that acted like thick whips coiled around Nino while making flexible movements, and constricted that small body of hers.

Nino didn’t let go of her curved blades despite that, but going by the position of her hands, it was impossible for her to cut away the tree roots that were binding her.

「Looks like it’s over. Well, you’ve made me use my 【Magic Eyes of Greenery]. Making the fact that I showed you the seriousness of a Demon King a present for you……Go die.」

In order to have Nino’s limbs get crushed with the tree roots, Moul made her 【Magic Eyes of Greenery] shine.

「……Eh?」

To be crushed.

That is how it should have ended up.

That should have happened, the tree roots should have made that happen, however, they didn’t crush Nino just as Moul commanded them to.

「Wh, y」

Why, didn’t it turn out like that.

Moul’s 【Magic Eyes of Greenery] certainly did activate.

However, it didn’t turn out like that.

Moul came to realize the reason for that with the scene that happened right in front of her.

「You, those eyes……It couldn’t be.」

Nino’s eyes, were shining.

They were shining much stronger than Moul’s eyes.

Enough that everyone in this reception hall became aware of that magnificent green brilliance.

That’s right, those were 【Magic Eyes of Greenery].

They were Magic Eyes that possessed enough might to negate the power of Moul’s Magic Eyes.

「Majin Moul. You are misunderstanding things.」

Having been gently guided to the floor by the tree roots, Nino informed her sounding calm.

The Majin of the west were misunderstanding things.

「You are able to assume the title of Demon King. But, you are unable to become the Demon King.」

Destroying the stone floor, tree roots that could be mistaken for thick tree trunks appeared, and hit Moul really hard.

Continuing after that, ivy with thickness that was similar to an adult’s arm constrained Moul from all directions, and constricted her while breaking her whole body.

Management and rapid growth of plants.

That was the true ability that the 【Magic Eyes of Greenery] possessed.

The fact that weak Magic Eyes that simply manipulated them wouldn’t be a match for that, is something that Moul didn’t realize up until she died.

A Majin wouldn’t become a Demon King.

The Majin of the west didn’t know even this truth.

And then, there was already no need for them to know it.

It was because the Majin of the west that claimed themselves to be Demon Kings, were completely destroyed with this Moul’s death.

「……Guess we should go home.」

「Yes, Ane-san!」

Responding to Nino who said that sounding bored, the Beastia that adored her shouted simultaneously.

「That Ane-san thing, stop it.」

With a discontented look, Nino walked towards the surface.

But, with a face that seemed like she had just come up with a prank, she turned around to the Beastia that chased after her in a rush.

「Ah, but. For the black haired no-good maid that is at the Demon King’s castle, it’s alright to call her da-maid-sama (no-good maid-sama), you know?」

「Dameid……is that her name?」

She didn’t reply to Aulokk’s words.

Just what kind of face would Ichika, who acts like the number one close aide at the Demon King’s Castle, make.

Just by thinking about that, Nino ended up having a cheerful feeling.
