CH 88

“Chapter 88: The Top of the Gana Vares and the Secret Room 2”

– So? What do you think?

– Hmmm…

The pages depict a fantasy story. Although, if this new world is fantasy to me, what do the inhabitants call it?

[The protagonist is a lonely demon king. He was born as powerful and talented as he was selfish and arrogant.

He didn’t grow out of these attitudes. By the time he became the demon king, he didn’t have a single trusted friend.

But he was strong, so he ruled by force, imposing fear on everyone.

Of course, that didn’t last long.

He was overthrown by a group of brave heroes and his own subordinates.

In his very last moments, he cursed his arrogant demeanor.

But then, he was suddenly reborn as a human]

And that’s basically the gist of it.

The demon king, who was reincarnated with his memories and abilities intact, gathers a group of trusted friends to get back at the brave heroes.

A rather simple but popular trope. It has its interesting bits and the drawings are pretty good.

Though it does have an issue.

– Slime-san.

– Hm? Did you find any contradictions in the story?

– No, it’s just…

I pointed to a panel with a completely naked woman.

– This is quite the drawing…

The comic was quite R18.

The protagonist tries to find different companions with powerful skills, but the women are all extremely beautiful. And he has relationships with all of them.

Not just that, but he constantly saves women from danger. Which is then repaid by going to bed with him.

This is just a fantasy R18 manga…

– Of course! Erotism is the source of all creativity! What kind of artist would refrain from having their libido take form in the shape of their drawings?

– Well, at least not all of it is erotic.

We then started talking about his original question.

I’m not sure what other people would think about this. But the drawings are amazing, so it would probably sell better as a one-shot first instead of a manga.

Despite the weird topic of conversation, we managed to have a pretty constructive talk.

– Wait, the sun is rising already.

– Hm? Time really flew, huh.

The sky was slowly lightening up. I could see a very dim curtain of miasma reflected in the air.

I also realized we were at the top of the fortress.

– Well, it seems the castle is getting a bit noisy. I think it’s time for me to finally take my leave.

The slime bounced off the desk and drew a magic circle around us.

– I don’t think I heard your name. I assume you have one.

– Ah, right. I forgot about that. My name is K-

*Boom*

– Woah!?

The entire castle is shaking.

There’s no way this is a trap or an intended mechanism. It feels as if the fortress is about to crumble.

– Takaya, go meet with the demon brat. She must be worried about you.

– What about you?

– I’m running away. I’d love to help you but I’ve used too much power already.

Our bodies started fading.

– Until we next meet, Nagami Takaya.
