The Demon King’s Castle.

In that place that was close to becoming a historic ruin that boasted in having good ventilation, Ichika and Nino were glaring at each other.

No, it wasn’t something as cute as them glaring at each other.

They were glaring each other down.

The expressionless Ichika and the displeased-looking Nino.

From the two that glared with the throned Vermudol in between them, an intimidating air that felt like sparks would start flying hung in the air.

Having called Ichika “Dameid-sama” without a single doubt, the pitiable Beastia under Aulokk that went down from Ichika’s slaps across their faces were scattered about here and there in the throne room.

The fact that they chanted Dameid in unison was the start of their quarrel this time.

「So, the one that taught those dogs a worthless trick was you, wasn’t it, Nino.」

「There are no falsehoods in their words. Nino thinks that the whereabouts of the responsibility is on you, Ichika.」

「It is possible for me to perfectly respond to all demands. Please don’t put me together with you who is specialized in only one section of performance and preference and is oriented towards maniacs.」

「The newer one being perfect is the providence of the world. In other words, it is Nino that is the true perfect one.」

They were like this in general.

Orel ran away the moment he heard the 「da」 in da-maid (no-good maid), and the Magic Operated Armors acted as if it was of no concern of theirs.

Even for Vermudol, since he used up plenty of magical power and was tired, he didn’t want to get involved with anything troublesome. So long as it didn’t turn into a situation where the castle would be broken anymore than this, he intended to watchfully wait.

Incidentally, he also didn’t want to untactfully speak up then have his preferences put up for question.

However, if he were to keep silent, Ichika and Nino would eventually seek a judgement from Vermudol.

Even if he were to say that both of them were cute, it was undeniable that Majin wouldn’t yield in contests related to pride.

……With that being the case, it would be better to offer up a different topic ahead of them and make the conversation undecided.

「By the way Nino.」

「What, Demon King-sama.」

When she readily removed her gaze from Ichika, Nino touched upon Vermudol’s hand that was on the armrest.

Just as Vermudol controlled Ichika, who tried to flick that away, with his other hand, Ichika instead ended up tightly grabbing that hand.

「……Ahー, in other words.」

While breathing a sigh at the fact that Ichika and Nino were once again glaring at each other, Vermudol pointed at the Beastia that were scattered about in the throne room with his gaze.

「Those guys over there, is it alright to take it that they wish to serve me?」

「Un. That is fine.」

Among the Beastia that still weren’t moving at all, Vermudol used his Status Confirmation Magic on the black furred wolf Beastia.
