“Please show me your ID.”

“···?”

Lilith was embarrassed.

An ID card? There is no such thing in the demon world.

In the demon world, where weak people quickly fail, there were no such useless items.

Naturally, I tried to go into the city.

I got stuck in an unexpected place.

“···Don’t you have any ID?”

“Hmm, I’m sure it was around here…”

It’s ruined.

Lilith naturally pretended to search her pockets and prepared to flee the city.

Because it’s not a good situation to be isolated in a place like this.

Next time, I’ll have to steal one of the people’s IDs and forge them.

Of course, living up to her name as the strongest of the Four Heavenly Kings, she could easily destroy this city.

However, it is also true that there is a disadvantage if too much noise is made.

No matter how strong she is, she cannot win if she fights against all the armies of one continent.

Even if you win the fight, you will continue to be consumed and eventually get caught.

Like Ishtar, I didn’t know how to hide in society after living here for a long time, so I couldn’t try that method.

Lilith clicked her tongue shallowly and tried to run away while people were distracted.

Until I heard someone’s voice.

“Oh, you’re here.”

“Are you part of the group?”

“Yes, I’m sorry. He lived deep in the mountains, so I was proving his identity on his behalf, but I accidentally fell off.”

“Ha, don’t do that again next time. Don’t you know that the continent is in an uproar these days?”

“Ahaha, sorry. Now, let’s go.”

“···?”

In an instant, he talked to the soldier about something, took out something, showed it to him, and sent the soldier away.

What is this person?

···Did you help me?

A guy this weak?

“Ha, that’s a relief.”

“Why did you help me?”

“···yes?”

Discomfort soared.

I’m not weak enough to receive help from a weak guy like that.

The Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King Army, the strongest there.

In fact, I am called the strongest demon.

Even though I was forced down by the Demon King and was nominally second in command, I was always the strongest.

Are you trying to help this body?

What are you thinking?

After receiving some wary looks, he smiled awkwardly and said,

“Oh, you didn’t need it?”

“···There was no need.”

“Still, it looks like you have a story. If you seem to be in trouble, wouldn’t you be able to help me?”

“Do you live by helping?”

Yes, that could happen.

But that only applies to humans.

Demons eat the best of meat. I can count on one hand the number of times I have received free help from someone.

It would have been impossible to do this unless we were really close friends.

“What would you have done if I were a criminal? You would be helping a criminal.”

“Uh, was he a criminal?!”

“···I’m not a criminal, but what would you have done if you were?”

“Phew. I’m surprised. Don’t startle me.”

The harsh laughter is so annoying that I can’t stand it.

Are you kidding me?

I had no idea what the intention was.

“I thought you were looking for something.”

“What do you mean?”

“Isn’t it precious? You looked nervous. It seemed like you wanted to get it back as quickly as possible.”

When I heard those words, I placed my hand on my face.

The hand that touched it gave me a feeling that was no different from my usual expression.

···He looked nervous? I?

“You’re looking for something so important, so maybe I can give you a little help?”

“···.”

“If you need help, please let me know. I’ll help in any way I can!”

After all, humans are strange.

Ever since they lived together with the first Demon King, they have always been strange.

Rather than protecting someone.

It’s revenge for someone precious to me.

Because we start fighting over such trivial things.

Isn’t the reason they died simply because they were lacking?

The same goes for Ishtar.

Because she was weak compared to the hero.

He should have run away from there, but he used the Demon King’s order, which was not particularly compulsory, as an excuse and moved to die, saying he was tired.

She eventually died because her spirit could not bear living in a foreign land.

Unable to overcome the self-defeating shortcomings, he was broken by trials.

“···I’m looking for the body of someone named Ishtar.”

“Ah. May the deceased rest in peace.”

“It’s done. So, do you know anything?”

“Well, why don’t you ask Maeve? Since she’s the lord of this place, I’m sure she knows a lot of things.”

I am the lord of this place.

Are you the girl who showed me last time that she had succeeded in controlling my mind?

Since I know his face, it will be easy to find him.

“Ah, but please be careful.”

“···What do you mean?”

When I showed signs of leaving, he spoke urgently.

What else am I going to say?

I tried to listen to it moderately, but the words that came out of his mouth were something I couldn’t listen to.

“It is said that the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Lord have entered the continent. It looks like you are traveling alone. You had better be careful. It may still be dangerous.”

“···What do you mean?”

What.

Has the information already spread?

Or has the impatient Demon King been unable to wait for us to gather and has already begun the invasion?

While he was pondering for a moment, another shocking news came out of his mouth.

“It is said that there is only one Four Heavenly Kings left, but the Demon King and the last Four Heavenly Kings are still roaming around.”

“···What? The last of the Four Heavenly Kings?”

“Oh my, did you really come to Seoul from the countryside?”

“What do you mean?”

“Well, I just heard the rumor spreading…”

“hurry!”

I hurriedly hurried him and heard what the rumor was.

As for the content, fortunately, it was comforting to know that it wasn’t as bad as I thought.

The Four Heavenly Kings, a unicorn who coveted a virgin, were killed by the virgin god and warrior who noticed the damage.

···Virgin God? I’m not sure yet. The possibility that the hero is a sage god is not that great. Because it’s just a rumor.

But there was a need to be careful. If the rumor spreads too much, there is a good chance he could become a god. He may have already become a god.

Fortunately, the bad news ended there.

The second Four Heavenly Kings, the Four Heavenly Kings who covet courageous people, settled down after negotiations with the warrior. They said they signed a non-aggression pact before returning to the Demon World.

It seemed like there were many stories about how amazing it was that he avoided fighting in order to be reunited with his loved one.

Probably Asmodeus.

That bitch, have you become so resentful of not being able to bring Sarah back?

You really don’t know about his sexual orientation.

At one point, he said it was dangerous and that he didn’t want to bring me here.

He made a pact with the hero to avoid dying at all, so it was quite possible for him.

It was said that information about the third Four Heavenly Kings was lacking.

There was an announcement that someone in the human world was receiving a favor and was helping that person.

It was said that the details were top secret and no one knew.

···Belphegor, what on earth are you doing?

As I held my head, the voice of a human being smiling innocently caught my ear.

“Still, the demons might not be as bad as I thought.”

“···What? What do you mean? Demons and humans have been fighting for countless years.”

“That was a fight between high-ranking people. The Demon King and the Hero.”

“···.”

“I heard that the two highest-ranking people in the Demon King’s army have settled in the human world. One day, there may come a day when demons and humans live together.”

“It can’t be possible.”

“Is that so? I think it’s possible.”

“What will you say about the Four Heavenly Kings who were killed by a hero?”

“That’s right, the Four Heavenly Kings must have caused such a commotion. If they committed a crime, shouldn’t they be punished?”

···Considering Amdusias’ usual behavior, I can’t refute it.

That guy must have caused a stir here too.

“Every day feels new when I think that the day may come when demons and humans live without discrimination.”

“To think that something like that is possible. I guess you’re too soft.”

“Hmm… But, since the two of you actually settled down without shedding blood. Neither the Demon King nor the remaining Four Heavenly Kings. Wouldn’t it be possible to resolve this without fighting?”

“···It’s impossible.”

I stopped talking and started walking towards the huge mansion in the distance.

The largest mansion must be where the lord lives.

The person who waved at me without getting angry even though the conversation ended one-sidedly smiled at me and said,

“See you next time! I hope then it will be a world where demons and humans live in harmony!”

joy.

He’s a stupid guy.

In the end, even if everything goes as he says, there will be no choice but to end up in conflict due to the devil’s will.

Harmony between demons and humans?

There’s no way something like that would be possible. Ultimately, the role of the demon is to rush at the hero like a moth to fire at the command of the demon king Hana, who is struggling because he does not want to die.

There are many cases where the warrior is alive and does not die due to the powerful demons being too strong, but even that is on thin ice.

The moment the Demon King makes a slight mistake and gives orders without hesitation, the battle is forced to begin.

“···If there is no demon lord, it might be possible.”

At first, I was planning to threaten him by force.

Why?

I was concerned about what that naive guy said and the strange guys who helped me when I got lost.

Guys who helped without expecting anything in return.

If a battle breaks out, those naive guys will be the first to die.

…For some reason, I didn’t like it.

“Tsk. Am I old too?”

When I was young, I missed the days when I slaughtered the warrior’s companions without any emotion.

At that time, there was no time to worry about the enemy.

For some reason, it has become a little difficult now.

Is it because I saw the little succubi clinging to me and gradually growing?

Or when you finally heard that they were destroyed after a fierce fight?

···I didn’t like it.

I never thought the fact that I was getting old would feel this painful.

Somehow, those guys reminded me of Ishtar when I was young.

The little hands that picked the Tiketike fruit from the mountains to give to me.

The smile that was bright and not caring about the mud-covered body.

“···I would like to make a polite request.”

I wasn’t listening to that guy’s story.

It occurred to me that it might really be possible.

Well, there’s nothing you can do if you’re wrong.

If you experience turning the entire continent, including the hero, into an enemy before you die, wouldn’t it be a shame in hell?
