Chapter 260: The Sage Talks to the Previous Demon Lord

As I felt grateful to the Great Spirit who flew away, Luciana struck me on the shoulder.

She pointed to the west and said.

Well then, well be returning to our posts.

Luciana hovered as her wings flapped.

I could just transfer her immediately to her place, but it seemed that she intended to return by her own power.

Henry was about to grab her hand, but looked at me before it happened.

He fistbumped my chest.

Commander, dont lose to the previous hero.

Its not like we'll definitely end up fighting.

Oops, youre right.

Henry said as if he just recalled that and grabbed Lucianas hand.

The two soared into the sky.

The movement was so agile it was hard to believe it was produced with wings alone.

It was probably accelerated using magic.

Have the belief to never bend! Dont think about the details, just hit it hard!

Demon Lord-sama, do your best. Ill be awaiting good news!

The two parted loudly with those words as they flew far away.

I had quite a long relationship with them.

I was honestly happy that their kindness didnt decorate their words unnecessarily.

I guess its about time for me to return to the director.

It wasnt like I had anything to do.

It was better to stand in front of the magic circle and stay in perfect condition.

Just as I turned around while thinking that, I heard a voice calling me to stop.

Wait! Didnt you forget about someone?!

A sharp shout came from afar.

The person with a familiar voice approached fiercely.

She, who sprinted through the wind, was Diella.

She slid across the ground and stood in my path.

Yuura and Doldar also arrived following her.

I stopped and asked Diella.

Whats wrong?

Given the development so far, isnt it obvious other executives will also appear?! Read the room, will you?!

Im sorry.

I was getting scolded for some reason, so I apologized for the time being.

I had certainly detected the threes presence.

They had been waiting far away since the moment I was talking to Grom.

As a fellow Demon Lord, she was trying to determine my true value.

Her usual eccentricities stood out, but her true nature didnt change from the era when she reigned no, she advanced even further.

If she judged me unworthy to be the Demon Lord, there was no doubt she would try to overthrow me without mercy.

I saw a glimpse of such true intentions of Diella from the earlier exchange.

After Diella returned to her normal attitude, she talked to Yuura and Doldar.

Dont both of you have any advice?

Complaint to the individual named Diella Its hard to say anything after your remarks.

You dont have to worry about me. You can just tell him what you want.

Diella had a wry smile as she reminded Yuura.

Once Yuura heard that, she stepped forward in front of me.

She saluted once and spoke in a formal manner.

Request for master make sure to return alive, by any means necessary.

I understand.

I nodded as I responded.

Yuura showed her relief.

Doldar came forward after her.

He carried an ax and asked me.

I want, new ship. After you return, request two more to be built.

I understand. Ill incorporate it into my schedule.

It was words filled only with self-desire, but it was the way of the Doldar, the great pirate.

With anticipation of a naval battle, I guess his request had to be fulfilled.

As I memorized the plan to manufacture the ships, Diella called my name.

Dwight.

She held one of her arms up in front of her.

Then, a mixture of scales and shells generated from her fingertips and extended up to her elbow.

As if trying to show it off, Diella spoke intimately.

When you are really in a pinch, dont hesitate to call me. This previous Demon Lord would rush to help for a fee.

Its not free?

I got gambling debts to settle. I cant afford to do charity.

Diella replied with an awkward expression as she looked away.

When Yuura stared at her, she began to whistle out of tune.

The entire scene could only be described as pathetic.

This previous Demon Lord has an extreme difference in her usual and serious attitude

The atmosphere she had earlier was ruined.

It seemed she couldnt stay serious for long.

Though, that might simply be Diellas characteristic.
