The Seven Great Evil Dungeons! Even the foolish humans recognize its strength, the pinnacle of all acknowledged dungeons! The goal of every monster! Do you understand?

Oh, yes.

However, even among the Seventh Great Evil Dungeons, there are different levels! Listen Sir Devde, are you listening? Of course, all seven dungeon Kings are beyond ordinary monsters, but let me, for now, giiiive a loooong Just, I meaaaan, in the end, iiiiiits juuuuust. Thats not important.

The descriptions and titles are unnecessarily lengthy, arent they? Besides, these grandiose titles seem quite exaggerated. Maybe closer to homeowners than rulers. Its quite an amusing jest to consider a being hunted by gatekeepers as a ruler at least thats how Devourer perceives it. Being the warden of all existence is a bit far-fetched, isnt it? And the pinnacle of everything

Sadly, I apologize, but the esteemed being you revere is here lost in these depths, barely capable of casting a proper spell. Where did those grandiloquent titles come from?

Its not necessary! One can discern it from the humans word of mouth.

The rumors, overseeing our dungeons promotion, must have been under Renees control. It seemed like Renees hand had been busier than needed. Maybe I should have asked what specific parts to exaggerate rather than assuming theyd manage it well. I trusted theyd do well and overshot it too far, leading to this deification.This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.

Of course, the other Seven Great Evil Dungeons are equally formidable! Look, Cheite Castles Elizabeth Batory, Corpses Demises Erebus, Desert Hells Great Wyrm Hexabel, and alsohmm.

The rest of the descriptions are needlessly hurried

Oops! Ive already given descriptions for all seven places!

Yes.

Even though I counted only four, its futile to engage with an intoxicated entity. Simply giving a vague response, Devourer glanced briefly at Melje. With five empty glasses right in front, one could roughly understand the situation.

Watching Melje add one or two orders while being conscious was entertaining. However, they ended up in this state at lightning speed. If only I hadnt let them continue drinking. Despite the regret, the present condition of the little demon, judging by the number of empty glasses, their attire, and outward appearance, indicated a certain state.

Its the only gain, isnt it?

Ignoring the heavily drunk Melje, muttering in a tangled tongue, Devourer concentrated on recalling the contents of the paper seen earlier.

The red paper containing information about the The Seven Great Evil Dungeons.

Fortunately, there was nothing written under Dungeon Participation Expeditions List. It implied that the formation of human expedition parties wasnt yet complete.

The five-day limit set by Devourer and Patrick accounted for the expected human invasion date. So far, the situation had been proceeding according to Patricks plan.

There was no rush now that the sun had set.

Thus, Devourer didnt need to move hastily. Already inebriated, Meljes current state, appearance, and apparent age, combined with her female gender, heightened the likelihood of an attack while traveling.

For this reason, there wasnt a necessity to move in the evening. With the sun having set, there was no hurry.

Seeing Melje, who was reddened, suddenly making an odd noise and straightening her neck, Devourer, who had been watching, decided to feign surprise.

Whoa, impressive! But where did those impressive titles for that figure come from?

Are you really asleep?

Still no reaction.

How much of a nuisance are you?

Utterly unresponsive. It was confirmed, shed fallen into a drunken stupor.

Is it acceptable for a Demon King to be this weak to alcohol? It made me doubt whether Melje was indeed a real Demon King.

Considering waking her and making her walk to her room for a moment, I reluctantly lifted Melje with both hands.

Though she might prefer to sleep on a bed of thorns, I suppose.

Youve worked hard.

I did consider she might end up sleeping on the streets, so I should probably be grateful. Besides, both the cost of the drinks and the accommodation came from this Demon Kings purse.

Trying to positively brainwash myself as much as possible, I covered Melje with the blankets from both beds. She seemed not entirely asleep yet and was tossing and turning.

Resembling humans even in the smallest ways.

Nevertheless, Im not particularly annoyed.

* * *

A remarkably warm feeling. A feeling I havent had in a long timea feeling of being cared for, wanting to rely on someone so warm

Did I get drunk again? My head throbs. Although I seem to have sobered up quickly as a Demon King, the hangover persisted around my temples. Melje put her hand on my head. It seemed I relaxed too much after the intense drinking.

I slowly got up from the bed. I vividly recall drinking enthusiastically, but I couldnt remember what happened afterward. However, based on the situation, I had a good idea of what had transpired.

Did Sir Devde bring me here? Hah, but more importantly!

A presence behind the door, presumably Sir Devde and only the two of us in the accommodation. And I was inebriated.

This situation, could it be?

This, this is a situation where Idwith Sir Devde?!

Meljes mind became confused.

Is this an opportunity or a crisis?
