73.RESPONSIBILITY

You are being disrespectful, Riku Barusak!!

The one to launch an objection before anyone else was a demon of a large build.

The tiger shaped female demon that was toned with muscles, major general Keity Fostar, was glaring straight at Riku. Differently from Charlottes confused attitude, Keity was clearly showing her hostility to Riku.

You are saying that Charlotte-samas reign will be over!? More than that, for you to address Charlotte-sama without honorifics You.. This is defamation of your superior! It seems that you really want to be killed that much, Riku Barusak!

Raising a sound, she stood up in a flashy manner and pointed her sharp claws at Riku. The anger that was emanating from Keity was just like hell fire. It was an intensity gave the feeling that just by approaching even if one step towards Keity, one would become ashes and vanish.

Facing that, Riku kept her smile.(TL note: Actually, it is written, but I couldnt find what a smile means. Either way, it is a smile^^)

As you would guess, I still dont want to die.

Without raising any sound, Riku stood up. And then, her eyes met the eyes of the furious Keity.

Besides, there is no reason for me to be killed. This is a proposal for the meeting. Wouldnt it be unnatural if you were to decide that all this is an insult without even knowing the what it is about?

Riku spoke calmly. As if Rikus carefree figure was pouring oil onto Keitys hellfire of anger, having her eyes becoming bloodshot, Keity bent her back as if she was about to jump at Riku.

Riku Barusak, you!

Keity, drop it.

However, using her hand, Charlotte commanded Keity. She had only raised one of her hands, but even so, it seemed that just that was enough to stop Keity. While letting out a groan from the gaps of her clenched teeth, dejected, Keity pulled back.

The major general Riku Barusak is a newcomer from the military. She isnt used to a place like this, and so, it would be obvious that she wouldnt know how she should behave. As long as you are careful from now on, there wont be any problems.

While saying that, Charlotte elegantly opened her fan.

It seemed that Charlotte was thinking of solving this by making Rikus proposal [as if it didnt happen].

Now then, everything is fine now. Major general Riku Barusak is a talented person that will be indispensable for the Demon Lord army from now on; it is fine as long as you learn from your mistakes. Umu, is that understood?

Charlotte persuaded.

Charlotte was showing a smile that seemed to be saying [with that, everything is fine now]. Maybe this was because she didnt want to throw away Rikus fighting prowess, or because she was intending to repay the debt she had to Riku, or perhaps both. Showing a smile as if saying she had accepted what Charlotte had said, Riku

Yes, indeed I am an inexperienced novice that still has much to learn. However, I intend on (TL note: I think this was supposed to be instead of.)

Riku bluntly declared.

If Riku was someone that would back down now just because Charlotte had said to, she wouldnt set a stage at the risk of her head. Riku wasnt holding her halberd, but she felt that this was just like the battlefield. It could be said that the conditions for victory was taking the head of the enemy general. The enemy general was Charlotte, and the ones stopping Riku from taking it was the Charlottes safeguarding faction that was started by Keity Fostar.

I believe Charlotte-samas actions in the past few months has somewhat not been restrained enough.

Restrained?

Charlottes forehead twitched.(TL note: It is actually the temple of the head ->
