Chapter 1: Trying Out Being Called to the Royal Capital Part1

Part 1

The location was moved to the first floor of the Relief InnHideout Store.

The first floor dining room was simply a room meant for offering meals to the guests, and without having to do business as a restaurant, it had the appearance of a nobles dining room.

In that room, there was only a single large long table. There were several chairs. Flowers and paintings decorated the walls, and there were no menu notices.

The Feudal Lord Galford sat at the chair in the back of the room. Boris and the escort soldiers were kept waiting outside of the room.

In a way that they sat opposite of each other, Diablos group of three and Sylvie also sat down in some chairs.

Its not like weve done anything bad.

Even though that should have been the case

In terms of the mood, he felt a kind of pressure like they were a group of boys and girls being called to the student counseling room after having had a secret meeting at the back of the school building.

To think that he, who had never even talked to a woman, would fall into this kind of situation!

Just as much as he had lacked that kind of resolve, he became excessively unable to calm down.

As he kept silent, Rem began to talk in his place.

Lord Galford, what business might you have with us today?

Yesterday, there should have been a decree asking for your urgent attendance but, did you not receive it?

Diablo felt like he had been handed a highly colored letter from the inns poster girl Mei, but remembered thinking itll be fine to just read it later and tossing it to the side of the bed.

If he had a personality where he didnt postpone things he didnt have an interest in, he wouldnt have gone off the right track of having a proper social life.

Maybe having guessed everything, Rem took charge of the conversation.

Naturally, Diablo is neither a subordinate to the other Adventurers nor to you the Feudal Lord. To issue an order to make him report to them personally, then what kind of authority do they think they have.

It is the Kings authority. All subjects that live in the Lifelia Kingdom have a responsibility to obey His Majesty the King.

Rem looked daunted.

The Lifelia Kinggave an order?

Umu.

That is a strange story. Although I believe that it was inevitable for the King to possess an interest in Diablo due to the subjugation of the Great Demon King, it has only been three days since thenWouldnt an express messenger giving the report of victory only have just reached the royal

capital by now?

If an order from the King were to come, it should have taken at least another three days.

Galford shook his head sideways.

This is not really something that should be talked about with a mere Adventurer butwhen it comes to important matters that involve the fate of the nation, a special means of communication is used. The fight with the Great Demon King Modinalaam was reported to the royal capital in detailthat is how I would like for you to think of it.

It seemed that even for Rem who usually spoke as calmly as possible was unable to hide her surprise.

That sort of means of communication existed!?

It was only recently created, and this was the first time it was used though.

That is something that is extremely interesting butlets return to the real issue at hand. What did the Lifelia King want?

The command given from His Majesty was given when the report about the victory against the Great Demon King was made. To bring Diablo to the royal capitalAnd that was already three days ago.

It seemed that it was delayed for a while with the reason of medical treatment and recovery from exhaustion was required, but it was already at the limit.

Beside them, Sylvie shrugged her shoulders.

As expected, Diablo-sans achievements this time cant be hidden. Before when the 100 Demonic Beings were repulsed, it was insisted that it was due to all of the Adventurers though.

Galford nodded.

UmuThe Great Demon King Modinalaam was unbelievably strong. Enough that he was able to destroy the barrier that repelled any and all Demon Kings of the past from the front. When we fought against the Demon King of the Brain Enkvalos thirty years ago, even I couldnt be counted as war potential, but this time, I was powerless.

It cant be helped. You didnt even have the Heros buff after all.

If a report that an enemy that formidable was driven away with only Faltras small army force and some Adventurers were to be made, then it would definitely become the cause for mistakes in plans of national defense from now on. Hiding this any longer would be contrary to national interestthat is the conclusion I came to.

He had smoothly confessed that he had hidden the matters about Diablo from the King before though.

Since it would be a pain, he left it at not making a retort about that part.

Diablo hated politics.

He didnt want to think about it, and the didnt want to get involved with it.

Galford spoke.

I am merely a government official that has been entrusted with territory. When it comes to the orders of His Majesty the King, the significance is completely different.

Rem nodded.

Certainly,

/> Certainly, if we were to go against the Kings command, we would be cited for treason. From now on, we might end up becoming unable to stay in the Lifelia Kingdom

Umu. His Majesty is a sagacious personage, but he also has a side where he becomes emotional when things do not go his way. It would be safer to avoid any unnecessary friction.

Isnt that what it means to not be sagacious? Rather, isnt that just childish? is what Diablo thought.

Sylvie spoke as if to persuade him.

Diablo-san, this conversation isnt full of demerits, you know? Being granted an audience with the King is an honor for the commoners, and surely there will be a reward for having subjugated the Great Demon King after all!

Shera tilted her head.

Is Diablo a subject of the Lifelia Kingdom? Am I one too? Im an Elf of the Greenwood Kingdom, you know?

Rem shrugged her shoulders.

If you live in the territory of the Lifelia Kingdom, then even if you are someone of the Greenwood Kingdom, you still carry the responsibility as its subject. There were notices of that even on the Faltra City gates.

Was that how it was?

You even have the responsibility to pay taxes, you know?

Rem gave candid advice to Shera who had not read that notice.

Incidentally, Diablo also hadnt read it. He had yet to memorize the letters of this other world.

Going Hmph, he snorted.

I understand what you all wish to say. So I am to go and meet with the Lifelia King.

Galford nodded.

If needed, then I can also lend you an army carriage. As well as an escort.

Ill also be going, Diablo-san.

Sylvie brought her body close.

Both Rem and Shera seemed to be thinking that they would naturally be going to the royal capital as well.

Diablo stood up from his chair.

How ridiculous! If he desires an audience with me, then it should be the King that comes!

Everyone around him became speechless.

I feel that if I go against the Kings commands, then things will unmistakably become troublesome.

However, a Demon King that is obedient to a King is uncool.

That being said, if it werent for this Demon King role play, Diablo wouldnt be able to even have a proper conversation.

Surely he would make an untactful verbal slip.

It will be hell if he goes. It will be hell if he doesnt go.

In that case, he wanted to avoid troublesome things.

While letting his hikikomori and NEET thoughts go at full throttle, he let them out with Demon King-like words.

If he wishes to have me obey, then he needs to make me submit! An army of 1,000,000 wouldnt be enough to do that though!

Galford folded

/> Galford folded his arms and groaned.

As I thought.

It seemed that he partly predicted that he would not obey the command.

Sylvie spoke sounding worried.

Diablo-san, it would be best if you reconsider, you know? Its because youll end up having to abandon your lifestyle in this town after all.

That would be troubling.

However, if he were to go, he was able to predict that he would say

I am Diablo! A Demon King of another world!

in front of the King.

And even if he were to endure the self-introduction well enough, at some point he would surely speak out Demon King-like words.

Far from just his lifestyle in the town, it seemed like he would lose his life.

In that case, it would be better to not go to the royal capital.

If he were to think about it more carefully, there might be a more appropriate and smart choice.

However, if he had a personality that could act after taking careful consideration of the distant future, he would have live a more productive life in his original world. He most likely wouldnt have offered up his life to a net game to the point where he was given the nickname Demon King.

If were able to skillfully converse with important people, then I wouldnt be suffering from communication disorder!

Galford spoke as if to make sure.

Rem Galeu, Shera L. GreenwoodAre you two fine with that? I do not believe that can be said to be a wise choice though.

Shera laughed.

AhahaIf Diablo decided that, then its fine. I am the Greenwood Queen anyway, so if I cant stay in the Lifelia Kingdom, then we just have to go back to our country.

That is impossible. It will just turn into a war between the Lifelia Kingdom and the Greenwood Kingdom.

Ehh!? Th, that would be troubling though.

So there was that kind of possibility as well, is what Diablo thought as he clicked his tongue.

However, for better or for worse, Shera had a personality that didnt think too deeply about things.

Even if thats the case, if Diablo decided it, then wouldnt that be fine? I mean, he is the Greenwood King after all.

This talk isnt getting anywhereMaybe having thought that, Galford moved his gaze to Rem.

And what is your opinion?

Roughly, it is the same as Shera. If Diablo has decided on it, then I would like to respect that will of his.

Faintly, her cheeks were dyed red.

I, am Diablos wife after all.

It wasnt Galford who asked the question, but Sylvie who had opened her eyes wide, kicked back the chair, and stood up.

Ehh!? Rem-san, is that true!? Diablo-san, you got married to two people!?

It seems that he did.

center style="margin-top:25px"> that he did.

Even he himself found it hard to believe.

How did it turn out like this?

However, it was a fact that the gave them the Marriage Rings.

Although it provoked his shyness, simply denying it would be too disrespectful of Rems feelings.

Above all, thinking that something like this would happen, he properly came up with a statement. Since he was always role playing, preparation was important.

Diablo puffed out his chest.

HmphI am a Demon King. I am free to call my property however I want!

Its been decidedis what he thought.

Those were the words that he took half a day to think of.

Sylvie, as if to persuade her, spoke to Rem.

Is that really alright?

What is with that way of asking that sounds like youre asking what part of this is fine? Is that a deed done knowing that this Demon Kings mentality is like tofu? What will you do if I start crying?

Diablo faltered in his mind.

Rem nodded.

My feelings, have already solidified. That being said, it would be disrespectful if no one were to go to the royal capitalI shall go as his representative. I am his wife after all.

She emphasized that his wife after all at the end.

Shera leaned her body forward.

Ah, in that case, Ill go too! Im his wife too after all!

Werent you going to go back to the Greenwood Kingdom?

If Diablo isnt going back, then I wont go back.

He had no plans of returning to his country.

It wasnt like he hated the country of the Elves but

This other world had few pleasures even as it was now. Even so, Faltra City had an abundance of cooking variety, and he was able to enjoy things that were like street performances and the theater. If he were to learn the letters, there were also books.

In the Elves Greenwood Kingdom, there nothing but fruits and music. He wouldnt deny that they were wonderfully refined, but no matter how good it was, he would get tired of it if it was the same thing everyday.

Galford came to a conclusion.

FumuWell then, both Rem Galeu and Shera L. Greenwood will go to the royal capital as representatives. As both of you are wivesmoreover, since one is of royalty, then His Majesty will be able to save face. Would this be a problem?

He sought confirmation, but Diablo turned his back to him as if to say he had no interest.

HmphIf they say that they want to go, then I have no reason to stop them. They should just do as they wish.

You two, please take care of it! While thinking that in his mind, Diablo left the inns dining room behind.
