94 Go to bed first.

After that, he invited Pope Eupharo and the others back to explain about the Colorless Demon King.

As I expected, they looked at me with great difficulty.

"I'm going to ask you, ......, are you sure about this?

Yes, and if you really don't trust it, you can call it up in a month.

He showed me the switch he had given me, and I tried to push it, but it didn't budge.

On the back of the switch, there is a note that says, "You can only press it once a month! You can only press it once a month!

Incidentally, according to the cleric who can see the quality of magic, this switch contains a unique magic power.

"The magic of this property contains magic mutated by the Yugra cult and even by the secret magic left behind by Yugra. I have to admit that Yugra the Brave is involved.

You have to believe the story, I don't know.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

"Yes, but if what you say is true, then the next time we summon him, we want to do so with a certain amount of our camp assembled. If possible, I'd like you to visit Mejlis, but if that's too difficult, I'll gather you here, King Tarz, is that okay?

"Of course, the Yugra cult has a right to know if we are in contact with Yugra officials. However, we cannot take any responsibility.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

"By the way, what kind of things are on that list?

I can't ...... tell you that.

The list of things that should not be told to people in this world is titled "Items that must be kept secret in relation to contraindications".

Some of the information is difficult to understand why it is kept secret, and of course there is information that should not be told.

About 60% of them are out of my field, but 40% of them have some knowledge or understanding of the principles.

"Well, I suppose that's just the way it is. But when it's a list set by Yugra, to know it is to reach for the forbidden. We have no desire to know it, but we must fear that you will not share it with others.

You're right, the Yuggra religion has the goal of preventing involvement in the abomination.

And what's been given to the earthlings now is the path to the abomination itself.

Perhaps this knowledge will lead us to reanimation magic.

In fact, the Great Demon came so close as to summon the Colorless Demon Lord.

The Yugra cult would even want to take custody of the earthling.

If you don't trust Taze, I'm ready to argue with you. I'm always open to debate.

"I'll have to choose my words when the Wise King says so. If he decides he can't do that, then we'll move.

Yes, I'm sure your interior will have been cleaned by then.

This is the first time I've ever been in a situation where I've been taken hostage twice in the Tarz, and I've made fun of the fact that someone related to the Demon Lord has infiltrated the interior.

I'd have a pit in my stomach if there were ministers or middle managers here, really.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what's going on in your life.

Marito agreed to do so, probably because he no longer trusted her to control her subordinates.

It was decided that Ilias and the others would be contacted via Exarch.

It seems that I will be living in the castle until this battle is resolved.

Later, the two camps gathered outside the castle walls for a battle against the great demon.

This is Yokus, who is in charge of the battle, and Lyrisa, who came to support him.

The other members are Ecdysius, Mikus, Karaji, Lakra, and the Golden Demon King.

The only members of the Purple Demon King's camp were him and Duvraeori, while the other demons were probably staying at the inn or lurking in the shadows.

After facing him, Yokus stepped forward and drew his sword.

"My name is Yox Shesfelard, Commander of the Holy Order of the Medes. I'll be your opponent in this battle, and I'll take you head on, no matter what your tricks are!

"So, ...... Duvraeoris, please?

"Yes.

Duvvleoli reaches into his shadow, then dips his arm deep into the shadow.

Duvraeoli reached into his shadow and dug his arm into the depths of the shadow and pulled out a large demon, a Hasha Lucrecht.

He is currently bound with a soiled cloth around his body.

Is that my opponent?

No, it's not, is it?

At the same time, Duvraeori's hand chopped off the head of Hashalukdehit.

The body of Hashalukdehit crumbled silently with a graphic sound.

"...... What is this an imitation of?

The Lord has decided that Hashalukdehit has interfered with the Lord's game and that it is appropriate to execute him in front of each other.

"So this is like closure, right?　Of course we'll have single combat.　You may choose who you wish?

Duvraeus set fire to the corpse of Hashalukdekht. The silent corpse burned easily and turned to ashes.

Considering Phoebushas, Hashalukdehit must have been equally unhappy with his treatment in this game.

And he tried to take us hostage as a ray of hope.

It was tempting to feel some sympathy for him, but I guess there was no one here who felt any sentiment for those great demons.

Yox points his sword at the Purple Demon Lord.

"Well, then I would like to nominate you.

I'm sorry, but I'm the one who accepted the match with him, but if you insist, I can make a special exception for you if you can beat ...... Duvraeoli, okay?

I'm not sure what to make of that.

I'll let you do that, then.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

------------------------------------

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've seen it before.

But the battle was over in a flash. The man was lying on the ground, covered in blood.

The man who had fought was barely breathing because he had ordered Duvraeus not to take his life.

The reason for his defeat was that he treated Duvraeus as if he were another great demon.

The Mask of the Pawn is merely a tool to give my magic power with restrictions.

It is true that the performance of the great demons has been greatly improved by being given my magic directly.

But Duvraeori is not limited to that. I myself am directly using my magical power to add to it.

I've considered the possibility that these intelligent, but ignorant demons would be too proud to grow up with the Mask of the Pawn in their hands.

There was no way I was going to give all the benefits I had to such people.

However, I could not have predicted that they would act so foolishly when they felt the difference in power between me and Duvraeus. 　

I was fed up with these great demons who were far below my expectations.

Hence... what was the name of that thing, it doesn't matter anymore.

I had it dealt with as an example to the other demons.

Now there won't be any more demons planning to do something stupid.

But what I need to be most careful of now is him.

He was not hostile to me when I received the report. He's not so thoughtless as to not consider the possibility that I'm playing a trick or a ruse.

It would not be surprising if he were as distrustful of me as the man who was just struck down.

He doesn't say much, and he doesn't show or tell me his feelings.

I wonder what he thinks of me in his heart. Oh, he may have been disillusioned by this incident, or he may have been full of hostility towards me from the start.

I have to fix it, I have to fix it, I don't want to lose this moment.

Regardless of his inner thoughts, he is living up to my expectations. And yet I can't think of anything I can do for him.

I don't know how to make him happy, how to offer him an easier game, how to make him feel good about winning.

I don't know if I should offer him a greater demon as an offering, but if I offer him more, I'll lose the rest of my time with him.

"This battle is ours to lose. Let's decide what to do next.

He walks up to me, oh, what to do, well, first we have to decide on the game.

"Yeah, right?　

He pulls out a card, my hand is shaking, I wonder what he's thinking now that Duvraeus has won.

I wonder what he must be thinking after Duvraeus' victory... He must be thinking something inside, after sending his friends to their deaths. But if I don't do this, my time with him will be over.

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

I don't have time to think of other ways to deal with what has already happened.

He asked me a question, and if I didn't answer, if I didn't answer, I would indeed release the victorious Great Demon from my control.

Then must Duvraeus do the same, or will he--

"I only want to be under my master's control, not his. If you give me my freedom, I will only give it to you again.

"Is that right?

Well, if you're going to disappear now and leave this country and its surroundings alone, then we'll have to settle this some other time.

I'm afraid so. I will neither run nor hide, for now you should concentrate on your match with the Lord.

I'm not going to run away or hide.

--It's okay, it's okay.

I'm not sure if it's true or not.

Yes, let's lay out the cards now, my hands are shaking.

Let's shuffle the cards once, let's calm down and lay them out, the next game is already decided.

Shuffle the cards and lay them out.

The number of cards lined up was six, and the loss of the two great demons had reduced the number of games remaining to almost half.

He randomly flips over a card from the deck, which should tell him what he has to do next.

Oh, how, how could this happen, how could my time with him be so short?

I can't remember the name or appearance of the demon that turned to ashes.

So that's it.

What's going on?

He flipped over one of the other cards to answer my question.

--Oh, no.

After reading the words on the second card, he rolled up the remaining cards, one after another, and it felt as if the rest of the time was disappearing in an instant.

I knew it was all the same.

"How did you know ......?

I don't know, I don't know.

He was silent for a few moments. He pauses for a moment, but after a short sigh, he speaks up.

The content of the games up until now has incorporated what the Purple Demon King wants me to do and what he wants me to do. In the first game, he wanted me to eat his home-cooked food, and in the next, he wanted me to visit his house to find an impostor. And in the previous game, I want people to look for me. That's what this game is all about.

The game written on the turned-over card was "Guess the Lie," a game sometimes played among humans.

List five truths and mix in one lie.

The game is to question each other and find out the lie.

He's right, I'd like to use this game to get to know him better, to get to know me better.

"Purple Demon Lord, you shuffle your cards before laying them out. You never did this before, but you knew that we would choose randomly every time, and yet you still shuffled. You did not have to do it, but you did it because you were in some kind of emotional turmoil. Perhaps he was thinking something about the fact that there were fewer games left to play.

There may have been something you wanted to avoid, right?

"Then why didn't you look carefully at the cards when you rolled them? You didn't have to. It's all the same.

Oh my God, my deceitful behavior has been exposed, what should I do, what is the right thing to do, what should I--

What am I supposed to do?

"Well, that's not really the point. If you want to make it look like a production, you have to pay attention to the end.

Aren't you gonna be mad at ......?

Why? You're the one who decides the content of the game. It's not that I don't like it.　It's because you couldn't come up with eleven different games to start with, so you tried to cover it up with vanity.

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

I wanted him to take the game seriously, so I prepared cards to create some tension.

But I couldn't think of eleven different ways to play the Great Satan at once.

They had to include the one that would get him for real.

If he chose that option first, the game with him would be settled at once.

That would diminish his value, or so he thought.

So one by one, one by one, .......

Oh, he's so good at seeing through my thoughts, seeing my behavior, seeing into my inner self.

Why can't I understand anything about him?

'Yeah, that was a boring look. ...... So you'll accept the match, right?

No, I won't. I'll use the veto.

I'm losing my head.

The words mean, well, now he's going to have to accept the match, he's going to have to veto it.

He should not have the right to veto, and if I set up a game that is too unequal, he should have the reason for it ......, but this game is not unequal or anything.

I'm not sure what's wrong with him, what makes him, what makes him, why, why--

I'm not sure how ...... I can accept that.

So, Purple Demon King, show me one game right now where you can beat me.

--What's with the eyes?

What are these eyes? They're deep, deep black eyes that don't show any signs of joy, anger or sorrow, just as if they're observing me.

What did he just say, that I should present him with a game that can beat him, if I don't present him with one, no, but I haven't heard his reason for refusing the previous game yet, yes, but he wants me to present him with a game that can beat him, what, how can I beat him while protecting his value, my thoughts are so confused, I don't know what's going on. --

------------------------------------

Oh, my Lord!

I immediately embrace the crumpled purple demon king.

He was extremely upset and felt like he couldn't think straight.

The response to my words was poor and the conversation was not going well.

I used the right of refusal, saying that it would not be a fair game if he was not in a proper state of mind, but he did not even know the reason.

I asked him a question to test his thinking ability, but I didn't expect him to faint. .......

Duvraeori, who had been slow to react to the sudden event, rushed over.

Fortunately, it does not seem to be a hostile act.

You!　What the hell did you do?

I didn't do anything, I just fainted.

I just fainted." And with that, he handed over the Purple Demon Lord to Duvraeori.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.

"Explain yourself, human.

"You explain, how many days has the Purple Demon Lord not slept?

It was too late to notice due to the fact that he was originally a man of few words and had an almost pale complexion, but he was clearly showing signs of fatigue.

The range of her agitation is rather mild for a psychological condition.

The only thing I can think of is lack of sleep.

That's--

You didn't sleep at least last night. If you're nervous to the point of fainting, it's possible that you haven't slept at all since the period you've been thinking about the riddle - or, if you're not careful, since around the time you challenged him to a match.

I'm not sure what to make of it.

It's a good thing that he's not as good as the Golden Demon Lord, because his physical abilities are in the general range.

A well-trained knight like the Iliad could fight for three days and three nights, but I'll leave that out of the equation.

The reason for the veto is this: a match with a purple demon king in this state is too unfair to you.

...... You're right, but is that what you want, human?

I'd like to thank you for keeping Yoxu alive, I'll accept another match later. Let him sleep in peace today.

The battle between Yox and Duvraeus was one-sided. I had heard that Yox was as strong as the Iliad, but even so, the battle was won before he could stop it.

Duvvleor had overwhelmed him with his specs alone, without using his signature "chattering tongue".

Yox is currently being healed with the help of Lyrisa and everyone else's recovery magic.

It was not Duvvleor's personal decision, but the order of the Purple Demon King.

To be honest, I thought Yox was dead, and I was sweating like crazy inside, yes.

I'll thank you from here as well.

"Just take him home quickly, it's not very nice to be seen sleeping, is it?

I'm not sure what to say, but I'm sure you'll understand.

No, he couldn't.

I don't feel bad about it, but it's troubling to think about the future.
