Maid Chapter 090

Yes, I can’t sleep. Why do I feel like an elementary school student before an excursion?

I wondered what the Demon King would be like until dawn, but if I care about this too, I’m sure I’ll lose.

If I can’t sleep anyway, I’ll just report to [Alive Grimoire]-san.

 

[Oohh, what’s wrong? Is it finally decided?]

“Yup. Tomorrow evening.”

[Hou hou. Let’s see…hmm. That’s good. Will you also change the color of your hair and eyes?]

Ah, did you look into my memory just now? …yeah, well, otherwise, this book wouldn’t know what I look like.

Or rather, this book is quite the gentleman. Well, it doesn’t matter because it gives me a modest way of looking into my memory.

[Why isn’t it platinum hair and crimson eyes?]

…

“Why are you so particular about it?”

[Hn? Isn’t it better to be like the Demon King?]

Y-yeah, right? …I wonder if the actual Demon King has silver hair and red eyes…

 

[So, how will you do it?]

“Ahh, we’ll [Transfer] to the side of the temple. The loudspeaker is already ready.”

Kariya worked with Utagawa-san to create a tool that was [Bestowed] with the [Loudspeaking] skill. We’ll use that to declare war on a small hill on the side of the temple.

The temple is located Northwest of Decheimoore…located in the center of the lake on 1F.

And there’s a nice hill to the south of the lake. From there, it will face the front of the temple, which is just right.

“Then I’ll tell them not to erase the cause, I mean, I should tell them that, right?”

I don’t have to tell them that I’ll destroy humankind, right?

[You should say, “I don’t like the temple, so I’ll crush it.”]

“That’s too belligerent!”

[There’s no helping it. If you didn’t say that, it’ll just be another person’s affair.]

I see, if we just attack the heroes, won’t the temple just stand on the side? …how rotten.

[And isn’t that more like the Demon King?]

…I don’t know the Demon King… At all.

 

After that, I had a good time and came back after the book endlessly talked about the Demon King, so let’s have breakfast.

Ahh…the morning sun is dazzling.

 

Let’s have breakfast with rice today.

I really like the smell of rice when it’s cooked. It calms me down.

While I was waiting for it to cook while somehow being appeased, the maid dolls suddenly stood up. Looks like everyone’s up.

“Good morning. Did you sleep?”

“Not really…”

Ohh, you’re all like elementary school students before an excursion.

“You guys…don’t look like you slept at all.”

“That’s right.”

Is it the Demon King’s doing? But I’m the Demon King for today, right? No matter how much I tell myself that it’s just for a bit and I can remove the disguise after this, somehow…I’m still nervous.

“Well, do your best. Is it time for breakfast?”

“It needs to cook a little more.”

Somehow, I’m grateful for how in tune we were. Yup.

 

After eating breakfast, its rehearsal practice until evening. Mainly for my dialogue.

“I am the Demon King.”

“Be more like a Demon King.”

“I am the Demon King!”

“Then that’s just a self-introduction.”

“I will carve my name in your skeleton ahahahahahaha!”

“That’s fine…no, what’s you’re name?”

Ah, that’s right. If I call myself Demon Lord Maito, I’ll be checkmated in various ways.

“My name is Demon King Rosemary! Temple, your deeds are remarkable! Die while regretting your own stupidity! I will engrave my name on your skeleton!”

“Rejected.”

Rosemary-san was rejected. Yeah, well, I expected that. Rosemary’s name has already been remembered by some people in this world.

 

“Fools of the temple! You are not the ones who govern this world! It’s a toy you guys have inherited and I’ll get it back! Now you should die while regretting your own stupidity! I am the Demon King! I will engrave my name on your skeletons!”

“Pass.”

After various trials and errors, this is the result. Yeah, maybe I should have obediently accepted [Alive Grimoire]’s advice…

“If you say this, they’ll know we’re hostile to the temple and if you mention the Demon King, some heroes should come out, right?”

“I haven’t touched on the cause, though.”

… yeah, that’s right. That is…

“No, you don’t have to say that. It’s not too late to say it after we looked into the temple. After all, Maito has the cause.”

In other words, Hagasaki-kun wanted to say that if we increase the number of uncertainties by too much, I’ll die.

Yup. It might be a little dangerous to suffer an attack if the other side didn’t understand.

…or rather, that’d be the case. If a hero came out poorly. This is the worst-case scenario for now. A hero can use skills. Skills and magic are different, so I can’t prevent it with [Magic Invalid].

If the other party has something like Katori’s [Destruction Ray], it’d be dangerous. …well, yeah. There’s a shield cum optical weapon here…

If possible, I want them to come out of the temple before the heroes. That’d be for the best.

However, it seems difficult to hope for it… I already know that there’s one hero who lives in the temple.

However, there aren’t always other heroes in the temple. If possible, we would like to leave before the other heroes could return to the temple. And I wanted to protect the lives (physical) of the heroes while they’re panicking before meeting the heroes themselves.

 

Then, we casually ate lunch (I’m a small Demon King who doesn’t want to miss three meals even in such a case), and after a while, the sun went lower.

“Now then, are we going now?”

It’s up to Toriumi to [Transfer] us this time. For some reason, Toriumi’s been stealing my spot.

“Are you guys ready?”

I’ll try. But everyone is dressed too suspiciously! Katori also boarded his suit and made an OK sign.

“Then, let’s go. [Transfer]!”

Now then, this is the birth of a newborn Demon King!

 

Perhaps the temple quickly discovered us because of the sudden appearance of Ga*dam.

Because it stands out. Also in terms of size.

“Then, Maito-san, please do your best. Good luck…pfft.”

While laughing, Kariya gave me something like a scepter. There’s a [Loudspeaker] stone at the tip. In other words, it’s a microphone.

Just in case, though it also came with the usual decoration, it’s still possible to use this as a weapon in case of emergency…I don’t want it to come to that, though.

“…then, I’ll start?”

When I looked at everyone’s faces, they nodded their heads inside their gas masks, fox face mask, and helmets, then gave me a thumbs up. Then, I’ll believe in you!

 

[Temple!]

Okay, the first time echoed and surely reached them. I can see that the temple became a little noisy.

[Fools of the Temple! Remember! You are not the ones who govern this world! It’s a toy that you guys have passed on for generations, so I’ll get it back! Die while regretting your own stupidity!]

There’s some noise. Looking with [Far Sight], it seems like the turret is being prepared. He~, so there’s gunpowder in this world.

However, you can tell from the civilization of this world. I’m sure they didn’t have rifles yet.

Now then, I’m almost finished!

[I am the Demon King, the one who rules this world! My name shall be engraved on your skeletons! Ahahahaha!]

At that moment, the turrets were set on fire, and we…or rather, the battle between everyone other than me and the temple began.

 

The cannons that flew were blocked by an ice wall. And in return, countless ice bullets flew to the temple. Its precision is not inferior to that of a rifle.

The ice bullet froze the turret like that. Looks like gunpowder is useless if it gets wet. The second shot wouldn’t come.

Instead, countless knights in white armor emerged from the temple’s front door.

…someone’s leading the way. Fukuyama-kun. Come on, when would you learn?

 

While looking at the knights, our humanoid mobile weapon moved.

When I held my right arm, it quietly filled with light, and after a moment, a dazzling laser beam was emitted.

It burned the ground just before the knights’ feet. The knights were frightened and the formation was disturbed.

Then, in contrast to the temple knights, two knights in jet-black armor and one suspicious fox-faced chuunibyo rushed toward them.

The fox face, Suzumoto, rushed in front in the blink of an eye and flickered. The next moment, he gave a strong kick from behind Fukuyama-kun.

The two jet-black knights dexterously cornered the white knights together. Even when they tried to attack, they’d hesitate and their swords would be broken. The temple knights quickly lost morale.

Then, a floor of light was suddenly born above the knights. It was made by Kariya in his black robe and behind him was our gas-masked President.

Upon reaching the top, he took a few things out of his pocket and threw them at the knights below.

By that time, Kadomi, Toriumi, Suzumoto, and Fukuyama-kun had already left.

Why? I knew right away.

The temple knights suddenly coughed, then began to cry, or began to lie down in tears. …looks like it’s tear gas.

It’s a very comfortable choice for that President. I thought he’d use something even worse.

…suddenly, a flying sword was reflected at the edge of the field of view that wasn’t mine.

I made it look easy and evaded the flying sword from behind with casual movements though inwardly, my heart was thumping.

Then magic flew at me, but I don’t need to avoid that. After receiving it normally and then turning around unscathed, there was Fukuyama-kun who was overpowered by Suzumoto.

Alright, checkmate!
