Chapter 126
Demon lord, is such a thing yourtrump?
MyLightningissuch a thing, you say!?
Oh, I can also do a magic of that level.
I-, Idiot.
Im the only one who can useLightning magic!
Well, yes, now that you mention it, its not like that though?
I crouched down near the Demon lord
and struck aLightningthicker than that of the Demon lords.
Hii!
The Demon lord screamed.*Pukusukusu*
I became interested and dropped lightning many times.
Hiii!
The Demon lord was paralyzed in fear.
T-, The magic uniquely for me
Its a story until several months ago that there was only 1 person who can use Lightning magic.
Now, there are 4 people who can use it including you and me.
I-, Its a lie!
The only one who can use this magic is the chosen, its a symbol of a king
And precisely because I mastered this magic, I became a Demon lord
Is that what you think?
How should I put it, did you think that you already mastered Lightning magic when you can only use it as far asLightning strike?
N!?
I mean, you can only useLightning strike,
can you use the magic after it?
T-, Theres more after it!?
Alright, oniisan, Ill show it to you especially.
After taking a dignified pose
I summoned that fellow.
Summon Lightning spirit!!
Ta-dah!Ive arrived.
W-, What on earth is this!?
Youre that Demon lord-kun I wanted to meet all the while,
you never improved,
Im getting impatient!
What is this!!?
This fellow is the Lightning spirit.
Spirit!?
Demon lord-kun.
Y-, yes.
Why is that this Lightning spirit seems bossy?
And whats this, the Demon lord sat up respectfully as well.
If you only practiceLightning strike,
you will never be able to use Lightning on other things.
N!?But, since its Lightning magic,
isnt it natural to practiceLightning strike?
You dont understand.~Seiji, show this Demon lord-kun your magic.
Eh, why must I do such a thing?
As one of the only 4Lightning magicusers, dont you have such a thing called camaraderie?
*Sigh* Finee!
I showed theIncandescent light bulbmagic to the Demon lord.
This is Light magic!?
No, this is Lightning magic as well.
No, but
Seiji, explain it.
So troublesome.
In short, when lightning strikes it flashes, right?
Originally, Lightning possesses power to emit light.
Just now is the magic that produced light.
Demon lord has been lost in thought.
Show that thing, Seiji.
You know, the thing that can become warm.
Heating wiremagic.
I picked up a wood that had fallen nearby,
and heated it up to the ignition point withHeating wiremagic and
the wood began to burn vigorously.
Fire magicor, not?
No, this is alsoLightning magic.
When a tree is struck by lightning, it bursts into flames, right?
In other words, Lightning also has power to burn things.
I
understand nothing about Lightning
Its such a thing.
Demon lord-kun, do you understand that you need to practice magic other thanLightning strikeproperly as well from now on?
Spirit-sama, I understand.
Umu, with this, Im going to return.
You, summon me next time!
Well then, farewell.
The lightning spirit went back while keeping its bossy attitude.
The Demon lord ceremoniously turned towards me
Its my loss.
He admitted his defeat.
That was easy!
Its frustrating but,
since I lost, Im now your subordinate.
I dont want it.
Wa!?
To make the Demon lord as a subordinate, the image is so bad.
Besides, I dont need subordinates.
Then, its not what youre trying to imply?
Thats right.~
Im going to give you three orders then.
I understand, say whatever you like.
1.Be on cordial terms with the humans as much as possible.
Is it fine for it to be only as much as possible?
Oh, its fine for it to be only as much as possible.
Its not really necessary to endure being on cordial terms if you cant put up with it.
I understand.
2.If I went and visit the Demon town, Ill be welcomed.
Visit?
The katana. Because its a good katana, I want to obtain something similaras well as see the Demon town.
I understand, Ill inform my subordinates.
3.Dont introduce yourself as the Demon lord.
W-, What did you say!?
I understand, then,
you can call yourself the Demon lord, Seiji.
I refuse!Why would I call myself Demon lord?
Then, what are you implying?
When talking to the humans, instead of theDemon lord, you should introduce yourself asKing of the demonkind.
TheDemon lordhas a bad image.
It might cause a misunderstanding.
Is it fine only when talking with humans?
Oh, you may introduce yourself as anything in your country.
I understand, I accept all the terms.
But, why are you trying to make the humans and demonkind be on cordial terms?
If there is someone powerful like you, you can even destroy the demonkind.
What will I do after I destroyed the demonkind?
After that?
If an enemy like the Goblin King is attacking and Im not there at that time,
with only the humans, they will be defeated.
In short, were going to become a shield for the humans?
Wrong.To begin with, wasnt it simply because the humans and the demonkind fought together that the Goblin King was defeated?
Its not like that, we shouldve been able to win even if it was only the demonkind!
You probably didnt know but on the Goblins side there were 4 Goblin Princes other than the Goblin King.
1 King, 4 Princes, more than 100 Generals and combined with common goblins, there were more than 20, 000 in total.
Would you still be able to win?
Thats
It only brings harm when one loses his head over power.
When an opponent one cant defeat appears,
even if one joins hands with others to fight a common enemy, theres still a possibility that they will not win.
To some extent, one must naturally not close the path of discussion if the opponent can be negotiated with.
I see, thats right
I understand,
Well try to get along with the humans as much as possible.
Alright, lets shake hands then.
TheDemon lordwas changed toKing of the demonkind,
and we exchanged firm handshake.
***
How should I put it, King of the Demonkind,
have you visited the Lighting mana crystal?
Actually, I was living in the Royal Capital when I was a child.
Even though youre a demonkind?
One cant distinguish a demonkind in his childhood, who hasnt grown horn yet, from humans.
Even if its so, why would a demonkind be in a human town?
I dont know but I was probably separated from my parents at birth.
When I became aware of the things around myself, I was living a life on the streets of the Royal Capital.
So thats why you can speak Delaidos Common Language, huh.
Huh?But it should cost 10 Aurum to visit the lightning mana crystal, right?
Why did you bother to visit the Lightning mana crystal?
Dont you know?In the Royal Capital, once a year, theres a thing called liberalization of mana crystal, a child who turned 10 years old that year can visit for free only on that day.
I see, so you went and visited the mana crystal and acquired lightning magic?
Oh, thats right.
I was so happy when I acquired the lightning magic,
and then, a man, who introduced himself as a magic researcher, heard that I acquired lightning magic. He came over accompanied with an appraiser and said that they will castAppraisalon me.
Appraisal?
Since youre a demonkind, isnt it bad for you to be appraised?
I didnt know that Im a demonkind at that time.
I, who was so happy, had consented to theAppraisal.
Uh oh.
Of course, they found out that Im a demonkind.
I became an outcast,
and managed to somehow escape from the humans country.
Thats why I arrived at the demonkinds country after a struggle.
Is it because of the trauma of that time that the King of the demonkind hatesAppraisal?
