Chapter 421 - That was the Most Dazzling Scene I've Ever Seen

The party hosted by Megiddo-san continued on in a lively manner.

Only the people who collected the most stamps on the first day and Megiddo-sans subordinates partic.i.p.ated in this party, so Kuro and Alice werent here. Well, I guess they could easily join if they wanted to, but it seems like they read the mood around here and probably wont barge in.

As I was thinking about this, Megiddo-san loudly put down his cup and shouted.

[Speaking of which, oi, you b*stard! Ozma!!! For only your place to have an 80% pa.s.s rate, what does this mean!? Look at Agnis place, she hasnt let anyone but Kaito through!!!]

[Ah~~ You see, everyone was working so hard to win against me. I cant just ignore their hard work~~]

(T/N: Ozma usually refers to himself as Ojii-san/Uncle, but he uses Ore/I here.)

Responding with those words, Ozma-san, holding a small cup in one hand, looked as lax as ever as he approached us.

Even so, it seems that he would still use honorifics when talking with Megiddo-san, and his tone has changed but

[Hahh You never change Youre still always drinking cheap alcohol]

[Well~~ I dont really like the taste of expensive alcohol Hey, Miyama-kun. Good work out there.]

[Ah, yes. Thank you very much!]

Calmly calling out to me, Ozma-san then sat down across from Megiddo-san.

[It seems like Master is having fun. Isnt your drinking pace faster than usual?]

[Yeah, todays match was fun. The alcohol afterward is also great!]

[Well, thats great]

Looking as if Megiddo-sans happiness was his own, Ozma-san snapped his fingers and made a giant bottle of alcohol appear.

Then, leisurely holding it in one hand, he poured alcohol into Megiddo-san cup, to which Megiddo-san drank without saying a word.

Filled with a somewhat friendly mood, or perhaps, a gentle atmosphere, I suddenly wondered about something and voiced out my question.

[Ummm, Ozma-san?]

[Unnn? What is it?]

[Only Ozma-san calls Megiddo-san Master instead of adding -sama in his name, is there a reason for that?]

[Hmm~~ Well, its just an old habit. There isnt any deeper reason for that.]

[Ozma has been my subordinate the longest. He became my subordinate before I was called the War King, so I guess thats why hes calling me that.]

It seems that Ozma-san was Megiddo-sans first subordinate.

[Hehh Speaking of which, Im sorry if this is something I shouldnt ask. Why did you become Megiddo-sans subordinate, Ozma-san?]

[Oi, oi, Miyama-kun. Theres nothing to be gained from knowing about Uncles past, you know?]

[Im sorry. Its just that I thought that the atmosphere around Ozma-san was different from the other Five Generals]

[Hahaha, youre being told off, Ozma. You gotta have a bit more ambition.]

[N- No, Im not saying that much though!?]

It certainly is as Megiddo-san said, Ozma-san doesnt seem to have any ambition Or rather, I dont think I feel the fighting is the best thinking that the other Generals have.

This is the same reason as to why it feels easy for me to talk to him though

[Ahaha, no, well, Uncle was also quite mischievous back then. Thats also the reason why I ended up punching Master Megiddo the first time I met him.]

[Eeehhh!?]

[Well, I got really beaten up after that though I completely lost.]

[How the heck can you say that after we fought for seven days and seven nights? I think we were evenly matched, you know?]

[Well, I still lost in the end. Master is strong, and I was weak.]

Eh? He fought Megiddo-san evenly for seven days and seven nights? Ozma-san is that strong!? Eh? Where the heck did being the weakest of the Five Generals go? N- No, well, I never really thought Ozma-san was any weaker than Kong-san either Could it be that the strongest of the Five Generals is Ozma-san

[In those days, the Demon Realm was much bleaker than it is now. An era where losing meant death. However, Master Megiddo didnt take the life of this defeated Uncle, but asked me to become his subordinate.]

[Ahh~~ That brings back memories.]

[But back then, I guess you could say that Uncle was experiencing his youthful folly, but anyway, I had quite the bad temper back then. Even when Master asked me to be his subordinate I snarled at him, saying Dont you dare insult me! If you take me in as your subordinate, I will make sure to cut your head off the moment you turn your back towards me! or something like that.]

[O- Ohhh]

Ozma-san scratched his cheeks, looking somewhat embarra.s.sed, and talked about what he had told Megiddo-san a long time ago.

[What do you think Master said in response? Looking like he was really having fun, he told me Ohh, that makes it fun! Then, Ill leave my back to you!.]

[H- How should I say this Thats just like Megiddo-san.]

[I feel like I was being reminded how big my heart is.]

Saying that somewhat happily, Ozma-san took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth. Calmly lighting it, he looked at Megiddo-san with a respectful gaze, as if he was feeling somewhat nostalgic.

He hates doing surprise attacks on others, but he likes when he is surprise attacked Thats certainly like Megiddo-san.

[Ohh, speaking of which, you still havent stabbed me from the back yet, have you? When are you going to do it?]

[Ahaha, I dont feel like doing it anymore. I was charmed by Master Megiddos way of life. I just want to watch your figure from behind For me, the only king is Master When I die, it will be while protecting Masters back. Thats what I decided before Master even became the War King.]

[I see.]

[Well, things have become so peaceful these days that it seems difficult to die. Well, thats why I will just leisurely serve Master in moderation until the end of my life]

[Good grief, that last part was unnecessary Youre still the same lazy b.a.s.t.a.r.d.]

[Ahaha.]

Whether it was Megiddo-san who told that in an amazed manner, or Ozma, who laughed while scratching his s.h.a.ggy hair Both of them looked somewhat happy, and I could tell that they had strong trust in each other.

Dear Mom, Dad I was able to learn a little bit about Ozma-sans past, even though he had left out a lot of details about it. As he said that Megiddo-san was the only king for him, Ozma-sans expression looked radiant, while Megiddo-san seemed happy to hear what he said Somehow, of all the master and servant relations.h.i.+ps Ive ever seen That was the most dazzling scene Ive ever seen.

With the exception of the people within Kuros family In short, other than the Demons that were guided by Kuro, Ozma is the strongest. But since the battle with Megiddo, he hasnt fought seriously, not even once.

This time is s.h.i.+ro, whose character rough draft appeared 7th.
