「Ver-cchi.」

「……Rokuna huh.」

Vermudol turned his gaze to Rokuna who had come beside him at some point.

「There isn’t really anything to worry about. That is probably a normal reaction that mankind will have towards us.」

「……It might be.」

Borkio didn’t attach any honorifics to Vermudol right until the end.

The race called Metalio, maybe because they prize sincerity, they fundamentally don’t use honorific speech.

That being said, if the other party was the king of a country, they would at the very least add 「-sama」 or 「-dono」. However, even until the end, Borkio didn’t attach 「-sama」 when speaking to Vermudol.

This was proof that he was cautious of Vermudol being the 「Demon King」.

In actuality, for Borkio who was attacked by the Alva, Vermudol probably couldn’t be seen as anything but an enemy.

Rather, it wouldn’t be strange to think that they were purposely enticed.

「The Alva……huh.」

If I could figure out their whereabouts, I could destroy them……is what Vermudol thought.

This was something that he understood after confronting them several times but, the Alva had no intention of obeying Vermudol.

They appeared to be Mazoku, but they somehow live while grounded on logic different from Mazoku.

However, that sort of thing, even among the Mazoku, was something that only Vermudol, who was the Demon King, cound understand.

「Well, those Alva or whatever, since I haven’t seen them before, I can’t really say anything but.」

「But, what?」

「For the time being, it’s about those Metalio. What do you want to do?」

「……What do you mean by that.」

When Vermudol expressed a question mark, Rokuna whispered with an unusually serious expression.

「The longer they live, the more of our information will be leaked. Whatever they do, it will have a huge effect on the Zadark Kingdom’s……on the Mazokus’ future. You understand that, right?」

The longer their stay here is, then the information given to Borkio and the others about the Dark Continent……about the Zadark Kingdom will be just as detailed.

It would be fine if Borkio’s group were to abandon their prejudices towards Mazoku during that time, but if they didn’t, then they would be dangerous existences to send back alive.

……No, even if they were to harbor goodwill towards Mazoku, that would not mean that it would be the collective opinion of all of mankind.

「……Rokuna.」

「Aiyo, what is it?」

「What is the probability of entering a treaty of friendship with the Cylus Kingdom?」

「If we were to go by what we’ve seen of that guy called Borkio, let’s see……I’d say that attacking them and enslaving them would have a much higher chance of success.」

「I see.」

Hearing Rokuna’s undeniable answer, Vermudol breathed a sigh.
