89 First of all, it's doing well.

Cards lined up, 9 cards left.

He randomly selects one card and reads out the words.

The Hidden Demon, are you going to make the Great Demon hide this time?

No, this is me hiding, okay?　The rules are simple: find me hiding somewhere in this country between sunrise and sunset.

"It's a pretty big country, though, isn't it?

If it's just a building, but if it's the whole country, I don't think you'll be able to find me in a day if you're searching everywhere.

If it's just the buildings, but if it's the whole country, it's unlikely you'll be able to find it in a day.

"Yes, so as soon as the sun rises, there will be hints all over the city pointing to my whereabouts, okay?

If there are hints, then you won't be moving.

It's more like a treasure hunt than a game of hide-and-seek, so we'll figure it out.

The sunrise is the start of the game, which means that you need to get up earlier than that, which is a bit of a challenge, but it's your life on the line, and there's no time to be complacent.

Therefore, I agreed to the game without using my veto power, and the game was dismissed.

I gave Lakra some money and sent him and the Golden Demon King to the Dog Bone to go to Marito with Ecdysium.

I was going to explain the current situation to him, but it seems that Mixu had been secretly monitoring him, and he had already heard about it.

I was wondering how he did it, but then I caught a glimpse of a report written in beautiful handwriting.

Feeling relieved, I talked to Marito.

So far, I've successfully defeated two large demons, but I still have a long way to go when I count the rest.

I'm sure the demons are following our lead, but as more and more of the same rank are defeated in single combat, they'll come up with something to do. You can't let your guard down even when you're not in the middle of a fight.

Ecdysium has taken care of that for you. In fact, it is during the game that you should be careful.

You should not get help from others when you are playing against the Purple Demon Lord, and if anything happens, it will be there.

It's not that I don't trust her, but since it's a contest, it's possible she's making some sort of move.

So far, the game has been simple, and this may be a trap to loosen up our minds.

Tomorrow evening, the supporters from Mejis will arrive.

But since we've already started the game, it's unlikely we'll be able to help.

If you have a good hand, you might be able to help me in my battle against the Great Demon.

The first and second battles were won without incident.

It might be a good idea to leave it to Ecdysium and Lakra, but considering the characteristics of the Mask of the Pawn, I have a slightly ominous feeling.

From the looks of Gugeg Delestaf, he has very little loyalty to the Purple Demon King, and is probably only submitting to him when his life is threatened.

Folkdrekra seemed to be loyal to him at first glance, but I also felt that he had some secret thoughts.

If she had been loyal to the Purple Demon King, she would have acted more seriously.

Perhaps the Purple Demon King chooses the Great Demons in the order of least loyalty.

In that case, the influence of the Mask of the Pawn would gradually become more powerful, and the enemy would only grow stronger.

Even though the fragility of Forked Durekra's transformation into human form was unavoidable, it took a certain amount of effort to destroy Gugugeg Delestaf.

From now on, he will not use his shape-shifting ability but his full specs as a great demon, and we cannot be careless.

It would be nice if we could get some talented people to come to ....... By the way, are there any other people in this country who can match up to these great demons?

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. In the event that you have any questions regarding where and how to use the site, please do not hesitate to contact us.

There are many demons from the Tarzian world that appear in Tarz, including wyverns and other large demons.

The training of the knights must have been done with these in mind.

I think of Grandpa Kara and Grandpa Bol, and it's true that their skillful techniques might be able to compete with them, but considering the specs of the great demons strengthened by the Masks of the Pawns, I'm a little worried.

It might be a good idea to have Grandpa Kara accompany you in your next match to see how you fare.

"In terms of strength, Mixu is a possibility.

"Eh, ha, ha, ha, ha, I don't think it's a problem!

It looks like a problem, but turn around and talk to me.

You can turn your body around so that Marito is out of sight.

I'm sure the second demon was a bit of a nuisance, but I think the first one can be dealt with. But my method only gives me an advantage against first-time opponents, and it's not a method I can use over and over again, so if you want a series of fights, I'd like to prepare in advance.

I see, so that's how you fight.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I think it's a good idea.

She is even more reliable than the other two, but on the other hand, if she is known, she can be easily dealt with.

The forked durekra would have been a natural enemy, as its appearance and techniques could be imitated.

So he could use the mix twice.

But it's hard for me to believe that there are so many people who are unfazed by the fact that a unique demon has been further enhanced.

We're even scared of a beast that's two steps below a lower level demon, ma'am.

Anyway, I'd like to ask Kara to watch the next game. Ecdysium, can you give Mixu as much knowledge as he knows about the great demons?

Yeah, sure.

That'd be great!

The other thing that's been bothering me is the Iliad, I've only seen him in the air here and there lately, but he always seems to be tired.

Since the beginning of the match against the Purple Demon Lord, Lord Ragdoll's tutelage seems to have become more intense.

"Has Lord Ragdoll told you anything about the Iliad?

"I've heard that it's exciting to train someone who can't be broken, even after a long time of serious training.

That sounds like a lot of work for the Iliad.

He doesn't want to lose to Gradna.

He's really struggling.

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why I'm so excited about this.

I called on him once in the first game to show him how the big demon was doing, and that seemed to motivate him.

Are you worried that he's not worried about you?

"No, I'm sure they're somewhat worried about me. I think they trust Exequippa and Lakra.

I'm sure it's more than a little.

Later that day, I thought I would be seeing the Purple Demon King as usual, but Duvraeori told me that he would not be able to see me during this preparation period because he was busy thinking of a riddle to give me a clue.

I was disappointed, but in that case, I headed for the magic laboratory.

Lately I've been letting Luko and Nora do all the work, so I figured I'd better show up.

I'm not sure why, but the Golden Demon King came along with me, and although it's an important national secret, he said, "I've shown you everything I know about Ghanaian affairs, and the wise king of this country won't even let me visit?　I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not.

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm going to say it. Who are you?

"I'm King Garne.

Of course, I can't tell Luko and Nora that this is the Demon King, but I don't want to get ripped off, so I've decided to compromise.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

Great tail, eh?

Oh, my God!

The golden demon king jumps up after being grabbed by the base of his tail, the relentlessness of a child is terrifying.

Don't stop!　The base of the tail is sensitive!　If you're going to stroke it, do it near the middle!

"I'm sorry. ...... Oh, it's so fluffy!

"No, Nora, you can't do that to the king!

"Never mind. A child's inquisitiveness must be satisfied before he can find the strength to face his next inquiry.

I want some of this hair. Can I cut it off?

No, don't do that. This is Nora. What is your name?

Mr. Luko.

Oh, Mr. Luko?

No, sir. Luko, please!

As a maid, it's hard to stomach being addressed by the king.

I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

While chatting with her, Luko was also allowed to touch her tail.

Nora, I'd like to use the temperature control container I made earlier.

Luko-sama knows where to find it. He uses it for various dishes.

Haha, it's so easy to adjust the heat. ......

I don't blame you, it was originally an application of a machine used for processing and cooking. I've made butter before and I'm going to make it again. It's goat's milk.

I know how to make it, so I'll prepare it now. You go check on Nora's report.

I left my tools with Luko and looked over the materials he gave me.

It seems that the simple principles have been reproduced to a large extent.

If we can prepare the equipment to combine them and conduct experiments, we can use them for various inventions.

The mechanism is a bit of a hurricane, as it involves recreating and combining the processes possible with chemicals and electrical components one by one as magic, but the great thing is that if you know how it works, you can do many things with it.

It's looking good. It's beyond good.

"Heh heh heh!　So this is the prototype!

This is the prototype!" Then he handed me a rather large box, which seemed to reproduce the mechanism I had requested, though it was very intricate.

...... I was tempted, so I tried pointing it at the Golden Demon King.

I'm not sure what to make of it.　I'm not sure what to make of that.　I'm not sure what to do.

Checking the results of the experiment, we've successfully reproduced the inventions of Earth civilization.

If there's a problem, it's that people who encounter it for the first time are often surprised.

I've been feeling deeply moved even though I've been slapped by the tail of anger endlessly since a while ago.

It's really good to know that there are things that are moving forward in this way, even in the midst of all the busyness.

In the event that you're not sure what you're looking for, you'll be able to find a lot more information on the web.

Gugugeg Delestaf, who was clearly showing his antipathy, was the first to die.

Folkdrekra, who was only happy to gain power, also fell in vain.

From here on, those with the least loyalty to the Lord would be sent to the executioner's table in order.

From the Great Demon's point of view, the odds are overwhelmingly in favor of the person in question.

Unless there is some kind of upset, it is inevitable that he will be forced to fight in single combat.

When I first got the Mask of the Pawn, I was so happy that I was even willing to play a little game with it, but everything turned out differently when I opened it up.

The strength of the man who called himself Ecd, without the Mask of the Pawn, would have surpassed that of any great demon.

It seemed that Beguragud had not been lying when he said that he had created a masterpiece.

And then there was Rakhra Sarv, the priest who buried Vegragudo.

He had been underestimated as a nobody, but after witnessing Folkdrekra's death, all the Great Demons realized that she was dangerous.

There's a good chance that those two will be retained, and the Great Demon may be able to find a way out if he can analyze the next few battles, but it won't do him any good if he's one of them.

All the great demons except for Duvvraeus are demon kings who want to escape the rule of the Purple Demon King and rebuild their own kingdoms.

"Hasha Lucrecht, is it your turn?

A voice echoed in the darkness, and with a gasp and determination, he appeared before the Lord.

Hashalukdehit, the Right Arm of the Conjunction: ...... I accept the Lord's command.

I'm sure you're not going to be able to help me this time, just be ready for a battle.

The purple demon lord told himself that and returned to his room.

The purple demon lord said to himself and went back to his room. His eyes didn't contain even the slightest emotion, no different from commanding a flowing river to flow.

After witnessing this, he becomes a shadow and moves to the roof of the house.

I look up at the stars, and feel that the stars in my vision are somewhat less than those in the world of the demon Medis.

The light produced by human activity is reducing the number of stars in the sky.

So much for my life. ......

At this point, I don't know what chance I have against the opponent that person is preparing, and I'm not sure I can win against the two existing players.

Even if you win after a fierce battle, you will be deeply wounded.

Would I be able to survive if I were freed in such a state?

It was enough for him to reign as the King of the Box, and his self-esteem was maintained by looking down on the demons who had no sense of intelligence.

I was content with that, but that woman took everything from me without hesitation.

You can't fight back, you have power when you are given the mask of a pawn.

But if you turn against her, Duvraeus, who is benefiting from the Mask of the Pawn to the fullest, will surely kill you.

"Are you afraid of death, Hashalukdehit?

"Faybus Has.

The other great demon, Fei-Bus-Hass, the Lost Belly, appeared nearby.

He and Phoebus Hus ruled adjacent lands, and because they recognized each other's abilities, they enjoyed life in each other's backyards without fighting.

I know how you feel, but if you die, I'll be next.

"I suppose so. You and I are in a similar situation. ...... She doesn't look like she intends to win the game.

The other party is only one person, and the content of the game is too banal to be fair.

The next game will probably be played in favor of her.

"One day he may turn the tables and move to win, but it will not be you or me.

"Oh, ......, we're not even pawns, we're pawns.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

Do you want to take advantage of my wiles, Hashalukdehit?　If you do well, you may survive.

"...... What do you mean?

It's not only that, but you may also be able to boil the Demon Lord for insulting us. But do you think you're ready for that? ......

"Let me hear it. My life is about to end anyway. I want to hear it if I can fight the current situation.

"With Duvvleor, we're no longer a match for him. Direct rebellion against the Demon Lord would be pointless. But fortunately or unfortunately, the Demon Lord favors a very fragile gem.

Get to the point.

I'm going to eat the human, and you're going to help me.

"I will eat the man, and you will help me." Phoebus Hath laughed.
