Chapter 541: Proxy War



Chapter 541 Proxy War

Testing, testing. We are on the peaceful and uninteresting continent of Judah. The weather is truly peaceful, with not even a cloud in the sky. However, the world’s worst demons are gathering on such a peaceful continent (island). The world sure is a strange place.

「Would like some alcohol, snacks, and popcorn~? We also have delicious juice~」

「Yes! Alezel, give me some wine! And fried garlic too!」

「Thank you~. Would you like some potato chips as well~?」

「Alezel, I want some fruit juice. Is this lemon thing a recommended product?」

「Yes, but it contains alcohol.」

「M-Muu…」

「Should I lay out the sheet here? Or more this way?」

「Wouldn’t it be better to go that way? It’s closer to the sea.」

「No, that’s just your preference, Hund.」

「Fuhahahaha! Hund-dono has learned to blend in! If you could take a step back, it would be the best position! My mainframe told me so!」

「Hey, where’s my referee’s seat? I’ve been looking for it since a while ago, but I can’t find it at all.」

「Do you think the judge can sit comfortably? You have to watch the battle carefully, so you have to run around while watching.」

「Eehh…」

The calamity Great Eight Demons are making preparations for watching the trial with the mood as if they are going to have a cherry blossom viewing from now on.

「Seriously, what the hell are you guys doing?」

「It’s obvious that we’re preparing to watch the battle, right? Deris, wouldn’t it be better to have a little more awareness that you’re the leading actor today? I’m always the leading actor, but I’m giving it to you today~」

I also think that you guys should be more aware of your role as witnesses…!

「That’s right~. No matter how early you come, we won’t let you enter the stage before Haruna and the other~」

「Deris, I have no intention of interfering with how to fight, but… setting traps on the battlefield against your disciples is a bit… you know?」

「Umu, I think so too.」

「Fuhaha, I think so too.」

「Me too~」

「Damn, these Great Eight Demons are just saying whatever they want…! That is a needless worry. I won’t set traps, and I won’t interfere with Haru and the others before fighting. I’m going to fight fair and square, just like a master.」

「「「「「「………」」」」」」

Hey you damn Great Eight Demons other than Lilyvia, what’s with that doubtful expression? Don’t suddenly fall silent in unison.

「Deris, it’s almost time for Chinatsu and the others to com―― what’s with this strange atmosphere?」

「Don’t ask me….」

「Hmm? Well, whatever. It’s about time. Take a look at the sea in the direction of the Jiba continent.」

My wife treats me lightly and I get hurt lightly. Damn, let’s take this resentment out on Haru and the others. Well, jokes aside, I looked in the direction of Jiba as I was told.

「Oh, they’re here.」

I found three small figures on the raging ocean. Haha, they are running through a passageway they made with barriers.

「It’s much earlier than planned. Fufu, is this also a result of my guidance?」

That may be so, but why do I pity them at the same time? If it were me, I’m confident that I would escape in three days, but the disciples did very well.

「Don’t forget that I also supported them~. I drilled my knowledge into their heads, y’know? I’ve also backed them up in various ways with the full power of the Quitet Company~. Deris, prepare yourself~」

「…… Ha? You did that, Alezel? How much money did you squeeze out of Haru and the others? They might have a lot of money, but they didn’t have enough money to make you do that much, you know?」

「What are you talking about? I did it all out of the goodness of my heart and without compensation. I didn’t receive any money~」

「What kind of joke is that? The miser I know would never do volunteer work. Don’t tell me, are you an impostor!?」

「T-That’s cruel! You hurt my heart! You have to pay the consolation money!」

Oh, this reaction is the real deal. Good, she wasn’t an impostor…!

「Nell, is that the truth?」

「You’ve gone this far and you still want to confirm it?」

「Unfortunately, she actually did it for free. It’s a sign of a disaster.」

「Seriously? It looks like a typhoon is coming to this Judah….」

「What the heck!? I just want to see Deris suffer, even if it’s for free! As your former companion, I don’t need any more reason, y’know!?」

That’s the kind of thing that damages the relationship of trust.

「Hey, hey, hey! I helped out too, you know~? After all, I’ve been lending out my beloved daughters as maids~. They have been a source of trouble all the time, from training to private life, you know?」

「…… You helped with that?」

「Well, it certainly helped them grow. …… Mainly for Chinatsu.」

Goddess Chinatsu….

「I see, Maria-dono and Alezel-dono helped them, huh? That’s somewhat unfair!」

「Zex-han?」

Zex, who was supposed to be laying the sheet with Vakala and Hund until just now, suddenly appeared from behind me.

「Hmph, Haruna and the others were supported by Mama and Alezel. Then, there’s no problem even if I and Zex supported Black, right?」

In addition, Lilyvia also appeared.

「C-Could it be!?」

「Fuhahahahahaha! That’s right! During the preparation, I lent Al Nova’s technology to Deris-dono! The magic item that Deris created, which is said to be the best in the world, has evolved even further!」

「That’s not all. I copied the blacksmithing techniques from the Warrior King of Galdevalan, and I made Deris’s staff even more powerful. I didn’t sleep for three days to do it, though.」

I don’t know why, but Lily and Zex are standing on both my sides and starting to oppose the other party. Well, there’s nothing wrong with what they’re saying, but what’s with that provocation?

「Kuh, so you went to Al Nova when you disappeared from Deris’s house!」

「That’s right! I don’t mean to brag, but my facilities in Al Nova are the best in the world!

「I don’t care about Quitet’s support or onee-sama’s troublesome act, but in the end, the power of my feelings is stronger!」

「Keh! If that’s the case, then my desire for amusement is real too! Right, Maria-han!?」

「That’s it! That’s what I wanted to say!」

I don’t care about it, but is this quarrel still going on? I have no intention to be your proxy or something like that, you know? Also, the girls will be arriving soon….

「Hmm, I’m the judge, so I can’t support either side~. What about old man Vakala and Hund? How about making a bet?」

「I don’t like gambling. I’m going to participate purely as a witness.」

「Me too. I will be rooting for both sides this time. After all, whoever wins, I think I will see something interesting! Now, it’s time to open my treasured liquor! Come on, Hund, you drink too!」

「Mu, okay. …… Oh, this is certainly good stuff!」

「Ahh, you two are unfair! I can’t drink because I have to be sober!」

…… It’s really troublesome that they are in the mood for flower viewing.
