I am Azar, the True Demon King.

However, this title is not going to fly.

This race, which had been cut off for 500 years, has evolved beyond our imagination.

They were strong, overwhelmingly strong, and easily overwhelmed our forces and won the war.

This is the power of the continent's demons?

This is the power of the demon race in the continent. And because of that, the other side must have taken over the original demon traditions of the demon tribe and further developed them through fierce battles.

When I think about it, I suddenly feel ashamed of myself, don't I?

He became good at such a small island lord degree and called himself the True Demon King ...... ...... such as the True Demon King.

Isn't he a bat in a birdless village, a frog in a well that doesn't know the great ocean itself!

But I know how blue the sky is!

The Four Heavenly Kings, hastily formed by gathering the island's battle boasts, were also kicked out by a young boy who says he hasn't even become a regular soldier yet. ......

It's just a bunch of lumberjacks, flyers and unemployed people.

The only person who has received proper combat training is my daughter, Shemiri.

That was unreasonable.

In contrast, the other side is a group of professionals who are well-trained and have been at war with other forces on the continent for hundreds of years.

Rather, why did they think they could win with this?

Am I getting a little crazy yesterday?

However, I'm glad that my opponent, Lord Zedan, is a very good person.

He accepted all of my rude behavior, which in normal circumstances would have led to the outbreak of war, and offered his hand of reconciliation.

After the friendly match at the Colosseum, the two sides formally decided on a friendship, and we had a dinner at the castle, where we drank and sang to deepen our friendship, and then I arranged a meeting with Lord Zedan, the Demon King. ......

* * * *

"I would like to renounce my title as Demon King.

I suggested it first.

I've learned the hard way. I have learned the hard way that the person most worthy of the title of Demon King is Lord Zedan. It's presumptuous of me to claim the title of Demon King in front of you, who are far more powerful than we are.

And even more so with the True Demon King and others .......

''I'd rather have you transfer control and treat me as one of your territories than this, how about this?''

"No, Master Azar, no.

Lord Zedan immediately expressed his polite refusal.

He said, "This country has survived for five hundred years as an independent nation. That history and that pride must not be thrown away so easily. Of course, if you're in need of help, my demon kingdom will spare you, but this is not an attempt to sovereign your country.

Lord Zedan, the Demon King, leans back and says: .......

Because kindred must help each other: ......!

"Dear Mr. Zedan: ......!

What's up with this guy?

At first, I thought he was a big, ugly guy, but he's as big and strong as his size!

...... All right, now that we have formal diplomatic relations, let's hurry up with a formal treaty.

Well, let's hope the two demon kingdoms can work together to make it more prosperous.

Nevertheless, I'll have to use my wits about how to call him.

Originally, there was only one "Demon King".

When there were more than two Demon Kings in this world, it was an outbreak of civil war, which also meant that the conflict would continue until there was only one Demon King again.

I heard that in the past, there were times when the continent was split into two or more Demon Kings, leading to a bloody civil war.

In this world, the reason why I and Zedan-dono don't fight while calling themselves two demon kings is 100% due to Zedan-dono's mercy, and if it's like the temples of history, it's 100% us who will be overrun and destroyed, so if we don't make some kind of concession here, the righteousness is .......

The righteousness doesn't stand.

It's a good idea for you to continue to call yourself 'Demon King' and have your title changed to something lesser.

You needn't worry too much, my dear.

"We'll be damned if we don't! ...... We have an isolated island as our fiefdom. Therefore, why don't we call ourselves the 'Demon King of the Island'?

Speaking of an island, it is obvious at first glance that it is a far smaller country than a continent.

It's also a modest subspecies, which can be conveyed under a single word.

''The Demon King of the Island'' ....... In other words, the Island Demon King?

Isn't "Shimamau" a word with two consecutive "ma" in it?

'Put it away' then?

It's like 'put away'.

"If two 'ma's' followed by two 'ma's' isn't good for you, you can go to ......'s 'Shim Shim Shimmering'.

"I've got stripes!

"Stripes!

''Who!''

After a discussion, we decided to nominate him as the "Demon King of the Island" without any twists, after all.

And the demon kingdom on the island that is currently ruled by me is now called 'Demon Island'.

No, wait. If you're the king of the Demon Island, you can also call yourself the 'Demon Island King' at ......!

"'Mimao'?

I don't like that kind of name, that's an abramaculous name!

No, can't it be read as 'Matououou'?

"'Wait, King!'

What do you want us to wait for?

Thus, a highly political agreement was made at the meeting.

You may think it's stupid, but the worst thing that could happen is that they could end up in a war depending on who claims to be in charge of what!

To put it another way, if you want to start a war, you should make a grandiose presumption that will make the rest of the world furious.

"Now that the above has been agreed upon, I wish to maintain our friendship for many years to come.

I'm the one you want. You are the real Demon King. It's a pleasure to meet you.

But Master Azar is a brilliant champion, isn't he? I wasn't so sure at first, but as soon as the situation was settled, he abandoned all his superfluous masks and acted for the people first.

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

"I admire your attitude as a fellow Demon King.

Actually, the first time I came at you was history.

So please, forget it.

'Our country ...... no, the island has managed to push for self-sufficiency, albeit in a small way, but we have reached the limit. We were hoping to get some help from you at all costs.

'As for us. There are many things we want to learn about each other, such as communication magic and magic swords, which led us to learn about each other's existence. Let's compare the strengths and weaknesses of each of us and aim for mutual development.

How encouraging: ......!

So, can I make a suggestion?

Yes?

"Will you come visit my kingdom, Lord Azar?

Okay, you know what?

I, however, am unable to react on the spur of the moment to the offer from Lord Zedan.

'I think, once again, that mutual understanding is important. The first step is to understand how we feel about each other. I think that Azar-dono, the representative of the demon island, should also visit our country to find out what kind of country we are.

This is ......!

Isn't that dangerous?

Visiting a partner country is the same as riding alone into their bosom.

Whether you roast or boil the bird you have in your hand, is it not the owner's breast?

While pretending to be friendly with sweet words, as soon as he entered their camp, he would tie him up and force him to surrender unconditionally as a hostage.

Isn't this a recipe for viciousness?

What are we going to do?

Normally you would be in a phase where you would be able to complicate your reasoning for something, and you would be able to say no. ......

But if I tell you that, then Zedan is already in the middle of a battle.

If I commanded, the whole country would come to me and take Zedan captive. ...... Or is that too much to ask?

The fact that they were willing to take that kind of risk and come from the other side is a sign of trust!

Without living up to that trust, will the reconciliation between the two demon clans continue to progress smoothly?

...... Okay, I'll take a peek.

Good!

Honestly, I'm scared.

I'm so scared, but do I have to muster the courage to respond to Zedan-dono's thoughts here?

Even if the person in front of me can be trusted, there are things I'm afraid of!

I mean, there are plenty of things you know are safe in theory, but there are plenty of things you're afraid of!

* * *

So I'm going to visit the Devil's Land right away.

It was very quick.

I was picked up by the ship that Zedan and the others were returning to, and I was heading straight to the Devil's Land.

...... Isn't this ship crazy luxurious?

I was told that the ship we were taken on was an official ship owned by the demon kingdom.

Even without the wind, it's still moving forward. ......, what do you mean!

It's a self-powered ship loaded with magic power. I'm glad you like it because it's indeed a very high-class product that only a few ships in the demon kingdom have!

That's right: .......

You may think that because we are an island nation, our shipbuilding technology is advanced, but it's not.

First of all, our country is so small that we can't get the materials to build a big boat.

That's why we've done little more than go offshore in small boats and fish.

I'm not proud of it, though. The magic-powered ship owned by the saint has a hull made entirely of metal and is much stronger and faster than any other ship in the world.

All metal?

What do you mean, "all metal"?

If it's all metal, it won't sink to the water?

That's what's so great about the Sage's Palace, compared to that, the bustle of the Demon City is just a normal part of life. I hope you won't be disappointed with my pride and joy, as I'm proud to rule this city with all my might.

Ah, this is a common pattern.

I know, guys who are so humble like this, they overstep their bounds and show us something amazing.

Is it okay? Will I be able to return to Devil's Island with my senses intact?

Amidst all sorts of anxiety, I headed for the Devil's Country, the birthplace of the demon race.
