Isekai de Kojiin wo Hiraitakedo, Nazeka Darehitori Sudatou to Shinai Ken (WN)-Chapter 6: Versus Demon King’s Forces

“What was that? I tried to assassinate him since I felt a strong magical power but instead I got noticed! What’s more, he negated my strongest magic like nothing. There was a person like this among the humans!? I didn’t hear about it!”

There was a person floating around twenty meters up in the sky.

It was the silhoutte of a beautiful girl with crimson hair around 17,8 cm, growing horns out of her forehead and wings that resembled of a bat, while from behind a tail could be seen. If I remember the King said something, the ones who treated humans with hate were the demons.

Still to be surprised to this extent is troubling. I reduced of the 20 meters distance in an instant, it was just a simple jump.

“Say what!? Closing this distant in an instant, what kind of magic did you use!?”

“Amazing, Master just when I thought I can’t see your figure anymore, you were there already!”

“I couldn’t follow you at all!”

“Guaah! This is bad, I cannot…”

I flicked her several times, and not too soon she fell from the sky and began tumbling on the ground. She seemed like she was on verge of death, but she’s alive after all.

Well, I did go easy after all. If I was serious it would’ve been an instant kill.

Even if she was a demon, I couldn’t go serious against a girl. It’s not kindness, it’s just a soft touch.

“Amazing, Master you defeated that demon so easily!”

“We are unable to defeat demon’s and you despite going easy on her you defeated her. It seems there is a long way for us to match with Masatsugu-sama”

“Uuuu…”

“Did you come around?”

“Guh… To think there was somebody this strong on the human side, why is somebody strong such as you living in a shabby place like this? If it’s somebody strong as you, then you can be one of the top 5 demon emperors in the Demon country’s army and welcomed as such. If you become one of the 5 emperors then you would be given several castles, treasure, prestige and whatever else you could desire. You are sufficiently qualified of it. Now that I remember, a while back one of 5 emperor spots has been opened. Well, you were called Masatsuga? Won’t you come to the demon side and become one of the emperors? I am not joking around, I’m serious. Isn’t it inevitable that the human side couldn’t evaluate your true potential? If you come to our side you will be treated as somebody of your power should be. So, how about it? I’ll welcome you as the new demon emperor. Since you’ll be welcomed as a new emperor there will be all kinds of opinions, those that will be against you this Crimson Blood Mira will be the one to vouch for you. How about it, will you not come to us? You will no longer have to fear the humans and the war will be won!”

“I have no interest in it.”

I frankly replied as such.

“Certainly one of the 5 emperor spots might not be enough for you, since you are that strong. How about this, you’ll be one of the emperors on the surface but in the darkness you will be a secretary to the right-hand of the Demon king a so called Arch Demon Lord? I’ll negotiate with the Demon Lord by putting everything on the line. It’s a position which you would be able to get half the world and control it.”

“Still not interested.”

“Guhuh… But, at this rate there is nothing other than becoming the Demon King himself, but that would be difficult. That’s right! In the demon race there is a scroll that has been passed down as a tradition. As of nobody can use it but if it’s Masatsuga-sama then surely you can use it! You’ll be entrenched in the inner parts of the Demon King family, I can guarantee with my life!”

“I said I’m not interested. I don’t have so much time be something like secretary of the Devil King!”

I have to manage this orphanage properly that’s why I have no time to play around. 𝗳𝔯𝙚e𝒘e𝚋𝘯𝚘ν𝙚l.𝑐o𝙢

“Uuuu, but if you don’t come to this side then we’ll be defeated. That’s right! How about we make a treaty instead?”

“I refuse.”

It’s troublesome so I refused.

“Please help me here! I have money on me. Could you not negotiate with me for it?”

As she said that, she took out a bag from nowhere and when she spread it there was coins in it.

There were 50 silver coins, that was basically 50 000 000 giel.

“It’s troubling, I’ll listen to you for now.”

“Thank you! We have no choice but to retaliate back against the humans who have invaded the Demon King’s country. In the case that we would occupy the area and put it under our rule, I would like Masatsuga-sama to remain neutral. I am not saying you should be our ally, but how about an NAP instead?” (TL note: Nap is basically Non-aggression pact)

“Then we really don’t need a pact. I shall not attack you guys as long as you don’t attack us, with this the conversation should end.”

“Please wait a bit! Let’s make it into a treaty somehow. I don’t mind if my life is taken for it. We demon’s wouldn’t leave somebody like you on the human’s side alone without a treaty.”

I suppose nothing can be done. It seems, I am just too strong for them to just leave me alone. It’s too troubling to be binded by the treaty, but without it it would be even more troublesome. I certainly want to manage the orphanage silently, but because I wield a power outside of the norm I cannot be left to my own devices.

“I understand. Give me the treaty document”

“Thank you very much! This is my heartfelt gratitude!”

Saying that she took out a pouch. It was called an Item box that can hold 10,000 items in it. Usually they hold 10 items or so, for it to hold 10,000 it could be said that it was so valuable that there are several of it only in the world.

“Naturally, I’ll bring you an official thank you item at an later date. Please forgive me, since the most valuable thing currently on me is that money. The signator will officially come to visit you, ofcourse.”

“Signator?”

“Yes, it’s the Demon King. Naturally since we are the ones bowing our heads, Masatsuga-sama doesn’t need to do anything. We’ll manage everything that is necessary. You will be notified ahead of time for the visit.”

This is so troublesome. Even though I have no free time since I am managing this orphanage, why do I have to meet the Demon King who is the most prominent person in the world. It’s troublesome, but I have no other choice than to give up at this point.

“Until we meet again” Mira said that and flew away in good mood.

“Master is amazing. To bind the Devil King into a treaty, it’s like making a treaty with all of the demon race which is surely Master’s first major achievement!”

“Whatsoever, the Demon King himself coming to ask for an signature is unheard of. This is unprecedented! As I thought Masatsuga-sama is really an amazing person!”

“It’s no big deal. Being strong is not really something that you should be proud of. Managing the orphanage is a lot more difficult, weren’t the two of you going to the well to get water? Let’s go together”

At my words they were both looking with sparkling eyes and cheerfully replied “Yes”.

But, while we were heading towards the well from behind us somewhere a light “Wait for me” female voice was coming.
