After it was decided to go to the negotiating table on my own.

[Can you hear me?]

Chief of Staff Akamond’s voice is transmitted through the necklace I am wearing.

[All your conversations and actions will be visible to us through that necklace.]

“Yes.”

The bomb necklace doesn’t just function as a bomb.

[We won’t say anything, but all your voices will be heard by us. Even the sight of what appears to be a necklace.]

A small camera with a recording function.

Even with a bomb attached.

[What does it feel like?]

“I feel like magic is truly amazing.”

[……Really.]

General Assistant Akamond laughs.

[There are other executives here. There are people who are waiting to watch your actions, and there are people who are not here at all.]

The voices of other executives cannot be heard.

[And even the Vampire Princess is watching for herself.]

However, if you think that the current negotiations are actually visible to the entire vampire army, you need to work even harder.

[Once you cross that portal, you are in Baron Gilberte.]

I looked left and right.

In case adventurers come out from the other side, the succubi are standing by to protect me, and even Lilith is on standby to use magic.

[Ready?]

“All preparations have been made.”

Especially when it comes to vaginal cum.

Before I came here, before I put on my suit, I gave Eris a quick jizz.

“I will show you the rest through action.”

[Good. …huh?]

Assistant General Armond is talking to someone.

[Indeed…. The leader of the 3rd Corps speaks. Are you going to come forward with just the name ‘Azazel’?]

I don’t know who the leader of the 3rd Corps is.

But it’s encouraging that I know the name.

“Is there something wrong with my name?”

[Isn’t there only a name?]

“Isn’t a name alone enough to clearly reveal one’s existence to Mine?”

[That’s also true, but the other person is a human. We all have surnames too. I go by my first name because I value myself more than my last name.]

“……I didn’t know that.”

I never thought even demons would have their own surnames.

Well, a surname is something that is inherited from the older generation.

“Indeed. If you put up a castle, it seems like it will be possible to put pressure on the baron, who is a nobleman.”

[That’s right. So, your…what is it? Huh.]

Suddenly, Chief of Staff Akamond clears his throat.

[How about using your old last name?]

“……?”

I suddenly start to wonder, but I am also a perceptive person.

“His Excellency the General Aide. I abandoned my last name from the moment I knelt before the vampire princess. I am no longer the person I used to be.”

It is not wrong to say that in modern times, surnames are also surnames.

‘I can’t believe you’re trying to take care of me like this.’

General Assistant Akamond tried to present me as if I was from a noble family.

He would have suffered a political blow later if it was revealed that I was from a commoner, but he went out of his way to support me in front of other executives.

“But if you really need a last name, can I dare to ask for a last name that I can use to call myself in front of people?”

[……Hmm. Suddenly you are asking the most important thing.]

As if this answer was not expected, silence continued for a while.

[That… Ah, that’s what the vampire princess said.]

“The vampire princess…?”

[You should decide your last name yourself.]

“…….”

Somehow, it seemed like a huge political and complex issue was passing through my mind.

Last name.

If you keep the name chosen by an executive, it will soon become associated with that executive.

However, if I were to say that I should decide it myself, that would be like saying that the vampire princess is giving me the autonomy to create my own last name.

“Okay. Thank you.”

I nodded slightly and stepped forward.

[At that time, a room in the forest dungeon on the outskirts of Baron Gilberte.]

“…….”

Baron Gilberte, along with a dozen knights, looked at the gray fog and scanned the fairly large cavity of the dungeon.

There are no monsters.

Because it has already been cleaned up by the knights.

The only thing there was a table in the middle and two chairs.

Simple wooden tables and chairs that cannot be said to be used by nobles.

Baron Gilberte was uncomfortable sitting in a chair like this, but he wasn’t the type of person to spend a lot of money on things that would break anyway.

Consideration for others?

If there was such consideration, the other person would sit on a chair like this.

In the first place, the opponent was a demon.

There’s no way a demon could sit properly on a chair like this, and even if it did, it would make a ‘thud’ and break the chair or something.

Maybe the table will sit like a broken chair.

Setting up a table like this is just a formality for show.

If the legion over there really wants to talk, wouldn’t they at least send Mine?

I can’t guess exactly which corps it is, but if it is a specific corps, I can only hope that it is either a vampire corps or a demon corps.

At least negotiating with demonic beasts and undead is a bit easier in many ways.

“I also had some ridiculous thoughts.”

Tick.

It’s time.

While I was lost in thought, it was already time for the appointment.

Weeeeing.

The dimension gate sparkles.

It was clearly visible that something was coming from beyond the dungeon, and the knights pointed their swords at the portal from behind.

Jerk.

Shoes come off.

Even at first glance, Baron Gilberte could immediately tell that these were not ordinary shoes.

Sarah.

Although it was a black suit, you could tell at a glance that the suit had been made with much more work than what he was wearing.

And the face.

An unidentified person wearing a mask, but holding his head high and looking left and right –

“Mine.”

Baron Gilberte calmly pointed ahead.

“Do you want to negotiate?”

“…….”

Mine walked towards the chair at a leisurely pace.

He sat across from the Baron very calmly, as if he didn’t care about the threats from the knights pointing their swords at him.

“Who are you?”

“Before introducing yourself.”

What was flowing from inside the mask was somewhat similar to a human voice.

“You are Baron Gilberte. Is that right?”

It’s so natural.

Although he was extremely rude, Baron Gilberte quickly looked up and down the opponent.

“Yes.”

An old-fashioned suit.

Clothing that has a classic feel, but is probably worth the price.

At least, it won’t be the last one.

Even the blood-red magic stone embedded in the necklace worn around his neck appears to be a top-quality magic stone with incredible workmanship.

“I see. As I heard, he looks like a man. Hehehe.”

But don’t be fooled.

Because demons are people who originally only say things that humans like to hear.

“Are the subordinates around you trustworthy?”

“What?”

“Are they the kind of people who don’t mind hearing stories coming from here?”

The demon in the mask points to the surroundings.

The knights frowned, and so did Baron Gilberte.

“Are you trying to drive a wedge between me and the knights?”

“Tickle? Did it sound like that? That’s strange. People ‘before’ were different.”

“…Before?”

Baron Gilberte suddenly felt a shiver run down his spine.

By any chance, has this demon ever negotiated something like this with a human before?

“Well, there’s no need to mention it now since it happened in the past. So, do you have any intention of responding to negotiations?”

“……Jake Gilbert. My half-brother.”

Baron Gilberte asked.

“What happened to him?”

“It’s alive.”

“…….”

“But, if you want, you can become a ‘dead person’.”

“…….”

At that moment, Baron Gilberte remembered the letters he had kept in his castle office.

“…knights.”

“Yes, my lord.”

“Let everyone step down except Sir Philip.”

“Yes?!”

“You can’t do that!”

Except for the man called Philip, all the other knights raised their voices.

“I know what he will do…!”

“Oh my, my. I understand that knights are people who are loyal to their lords, but do they not follow the orders of their lords?”

For a moment, Baron Gilberte wanted to clap his hands at Myne’s words.

Of course, behind the scenes, those knights were worried about Jake Gilbert, who they were close friends with.

Therefore, you should not go into detail about the content of the negotiation.

Only articles that are worth listening to remain, and do not spread the contents carelessly –

Or tell lies to your colleagues.

Fortunately, Sir Philip is ‘his own man’ who can do both.

Jerk, jerk.

The knights leave.

They all looked at the masked demon and tilted their heads in puzzlement, but did not sheath their swords.

Jerk.

After the last knight left the room, the masked demon placed both hands on the table.

“Then, shall we have a closer conversation?”

“Wait.”

Baron Gilberte raised his hand to stop Myne from speaking.

“Who are you?”

“Me?”

“Okay. I’m Blake Gilbert. He is the head of Baron Gilberte’s family and the half-brother of Jake Gilberte, who you are holding hostage. …who are you?”

“As for me…”

Moment.

“Dandelion.”

Baron Gilberte felt as if the eyes inside the mask were curved like half moons.

“Azazel Dandelion. The 37th head of the great Dandelion clan, and the one who serves the master of our great legion.”

“…….”

“And at the same time, someone who has been granted full authority by my lord to negotiate with you.”

The masked demon, Azazel Dandelion, continued speaking while fiddling with his red necklace.

“Depending on what you want, the one who can save Jake Gilberte, kill him, or confine him to the dungeons of our Legion forever.”

“……!”

“What do you want?”

Even though I know that the devil’s whispers have to be sweet to deceive people.

“A benevolent lord who wants to kill his half-brother but cannot kill him directly, wants to abandon him but cannot abandon him, cannot save his half-brother due to unavoidable reasons, but wants to do his best to save his half-brother?”

“…….”

“If you want, I can make it that way for you.”

Mine is.

The devil whispers sweet temptations.

” This is Azazel Dandelion. ”
