“Quickly, bring it back quickly!”

“I already called it urgent! What on earth is going on?!”

“I don’t have time to explain, so hurry up!”

I heard someone fidgeting in front of the room.

I think I heard that somewhere.

It seemed urgent, so I opened the door without delay, and there was a huge bird flapping its wings.

···Why is this guy here?

Who was it?

Wasn’t he the petty archmage lord’s familiar?

It looks really urgent. What on earth is going on?

“You’re here, hero!”

“What’s going on that makes you look so urgent?”

“Four, Four Heavenly Kings! The Four Heavenly Kings have appeared!”

Kudangtang.

The sound of furniture falling over was heard, but no one paid any attention.

Of course, he is the Four Heavenly Kings.

Although three of the four people were neutralized or captured, there were many people who continued to feel anxious because the location of the last one was unclear.

Moreover, according to Asmodeus, the last of the Four Heavenly Kings, Lilith, is the strongest in the Demon World.

When she goes on a rampage, things don’t end as normal.

Everyone began to focus on the voice coming from the large beak.

“···So? What’s the situation?”

“Well, that… How should I say this…”

“What is it, my lord? Has the city collapsed?”

“That can’t be possible! Oh my god, this is the first time something like this has happened in my life!”

“What, what on earth is this?”

“···The Four Heavenly Kings requested a face-to-face meeting! I have a request!”

Face-to-face request…?

Why is that?

This means that we should not fight and resolve the issue through dialogue.

It’s okay to just talk about it for a moment, but why are you so embarrassed?

“The request is for the body of Ishtar, a demon who died in this city!”

“···Ishtar?”

“Yes. The demon you killed that hypnotized the city as a group!”

Holy crap.

In an instant, cold sweat began to flow.

Now, wait a minute.

The woman’s body? The demon I killed…?

“The Four Heavenly Kings asking for the body of the demon killed by my sister… I guess they were close friends?”

“Well? I heard that demons don’t go that far unless they are very close, so that’s probably true.”

“···If I do it wrong, there could be a fight.”

“That’s right! That’s what I’m saying! If there’s a fight, the city will be completely destroyed!”

“···.”

“The only one who can stop it is you, hero! I’d appreciate it if you could come quickly!”

It’s a pain in the ass.

It’s not my fault.

This is natural. That’s right, they put a mass hypnosis on the city, but it wasn’t wrong to kill them to solve it.

But resentment is not a problem that can be resolved logically.

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like the message is that the city is being destroyed, so there is room for conversation…

What if you don’t like the state of the body or suddenly go berserk after realizing it’s dead?

If you’re reasonably strong, you can at least suppress it.

He is the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King Army. They are the ones that even the warriors of the previous generation avoided. How can it be easy?

“Okay. I’ll be there right away.”

“···! Okay, that’s a relief! When can you arrive?! Arrange for the carriage right away…!”

“No, you can go right now.”

I grabbed something that was like a secret item that was expensive and had never actually been used.

A pure white light began to surround the cube and brightly obscured my vision, and I closed my eyes.

A refreshing sound rang out, and I slowly opened my eyes to see a different scenery unfolding in front of me.

Please, there shouldn’t be any trouble.

“Ha, sister. You have to say something.”

“Oh, I forgot. I’m sorry.”

“···.”

“What does he keep forgetting?”

Belatedly, my colleagues who rode Cube around me began to reprimand me.

No, people might forget something.

It’s too much.

***

“What, it really came in an instant.”

“I told you. I can come quickly.”

“Then you should have told me how! Do you know how embarrassed I was!”

Whoop, whoosh.

I could tell without saying that he was very angry, as he was kicking with anger.

They said it was urgent so they came quickly.

Anyway, I can’t accept newspapers when I’m old.

“···Something feels bad.”

“I guess it’s just my mood. So, did you show me the body?”

“No, not yet. I’m just preparing to show you when you come. Wouldn’t it be better for you to show me?”

A heavy message that did not match the light tone of speech fell into my ears.

What did this bitch just say?

You want me to show you?

“···I?”

“Then you should do it! Because you killed it!”

“you···.”

There was a lot I wanted to say, but when I looked at Hecate’s face, it all sunk in.

Aren’t you too scared?

…Well, the Four Heavenly Kings are not that weak.

The city could easily have been taken over by Ishtar, but someone stronger than her might have been scared.

But why are you so scared?

After all, is the story that the mind follows the body credible?

Even a great wizard would be very scared if he had the body of a child… memo.

“···What is that unpleasant look in your eyes?”

“No, don’t worry. Would you like some candy?”

“What! That way of speaking is like dealing with a child… I’m angry! I’m an archmage!”

Yes, yes.

As I teased Hecate, the tension began to ease from my body.

After all, a light atmosphere is better than a heavy one.

When I arrived at the living room, I ignored Hecate, who was sweating profusely, and opened the door.

“Now, sleep…!”

“Are you here, hero?”

···Why are most of the Four Heavenly Kings female?

It suddenly occurred to me.

Foal, woman, woman, woman.

The previous Four Heavenly Kings were also women.

What on earth is this?

“···? Is there any question?”

“No, why are most of the Four Heavenly Kings female?”

“Oh, you mean that? It’s simple. Except for Belphegor, all of the female Four Heavenly Kings are succubi.”

what?

It was an embarrassing story.

Two of the four Heavenly Kings are succubi.

“Belphegor is a mixed race, so just based on their blood, the three of them are succubi.”

One of them is even mixed race.

what is this.

It’s very unfair.

Is this a preferential policy for succubi or something?

Are the demons ruled by a succubus…?

“···You seem to be mistaken, but the succubus is not that strong.”

“But, three of the Four Heavenly Kings are succubi?”

“One is that he is of mixed race. …Well, the reason is easy if you think about it. Can you guess?”

The reason is easy?

what.

···Because it’s a night game? But I’m the only one who knows that the background here is a gay game.

There’s no way they could know.

After thinking about it for a while, I finally shook my head to indicate that I didn’t know, and Lilith, with an expression that said I didn’t know that she really didn’t know, spoke.

“Hmm, are the values different from the human world…? What happens to you guys when you lose a battle?”

“It’s natural to die.”

“Yes. But if a man defeats a woman and captures her, is it easy to kill her?”

“···I guess not like that. I usually do it…ah.”

“Well, isn’t it easy?”

Well, it’s because it’s a night game.

···Anyway, maybe it’s because it’s a night game!

“Whether a succubus wins or loses, there is a chance to become stronger. But for other demons, if they lose, they die.”

“···Then doesn’t that mean I just have to avoid being a succubus?”

“How can idiots who are absorbed in the logic of power care about such things? Those whose brains are in the lower part of their body play around with their dicks and end up getting screwed.”

“I think I get the idea.”

“Yes. A succubus is not naturally strong. However, there are many cases where it remains behind even if it is defeated. Unlike other demons, if you fight it once, the chances of survival are much higher.”

The way you talk is so frivolous, Mr. Four Heavenly Kings.

It seems you’ve lived a rougher life than you thought.

“On the contrary, most succubi are said to be good at controlling people and try to eat them after they win. Sometimes they even attack me.”

“Even to the Four Heavenly Kings? That’s right…”

“The more a succubus has sexual intercourse, the stronger it becomes, but if those who have lost their strength after a fight have sexual intercourse, won’t they become weaker? What if they are surprised and attacked in that state?”

“I couldn’t endure it and I died.”

“During sexual intercourse, you become vulnerable to surprise attacks. That’s why there are so many succubi among strong demons. Isn’t it easy?”

It may seem beneficial, or it may not.

This is really subtle information.

“Then what about the incubus?”

“···There are so many cases of being beaten to death by fellow male demons who say they are offended because of their handsome faces, so their population is very small.”

“aha.”

Is this the life of demons…?

I only heard it for a moment, but I already felt dizzy.

A tilted playground… No, is it a tilted demon world?

Incubus is so pitiful, really.

But I also understood the feelings of the male demons. I feel bad when people who look like gisaeng brothers laugh.

“Now, have you answered any questions you have? I hope you’ll listen to my requests as well.”

“Hey, it’s here. Take it.”

Hecate, who had already brought the coffin next to her, trembled and said.

Come to think of it, the body is still there.

Come to think of it, he’s been dead for a while. It wasn’t even burned.

When I asked out of curiosity, Hecate looked at Lilith and said,

“Woah, subject of research…! Rare…!”

“···.”

I think you heard me? He was staring at Hecate.

I asked for no reason. Hecate’s face became lifeless. ···sorry!

“The cross section is clean. There must have been no pain.”

Well, you said you would let me go without pain, right?

I took the utmost care!

…I couldn’t say this to the bereaved family.

I feel like I’m sitting on a thorn cushion.

“It doesn’t seem to have any damage, and it appears to have been defeated by something much stronger than itself. Still, there are no traces of being played with. It looks like it was defeated in one blow.”

“It was the bare minimum courtesy.”

“Okay, I’ll say thank you. Thank you for doing me a favor.”

Lilith, who was looking at the body with a confused expression, looked at Ishtar’s body with her head and body separated for a moment and then took an unexpected action.

The tip of Lilith’s tail cracked open and swallowed Ishtar’s body.

What is this…?
