“This way.”
A large double door.
This looks like the Demon Lord’s room.
Or is there a new Demon Lord here?!
(It’s not Luna Castle.)
This is Anju Castle now.
If this is a dungeon, then confronting the lord of Succubus Castle,
The door opens to reveal a battle room with a final boss!
*Creak, creak, creaaaaaak…*
“Huh, what is this room?!”
“Master, I’ve been waiting for you.
No, Hero Derus, I’ve been waiting for you to come here.”
In the spacious room on the highest floor,
Spreading across its entirety was
A colossal bed so large it obscured the floor!
(No, this is too big.)
How many beds were combined to make this?
Peeking inside, there’s a space where you can take off your shoes.
It’s dark in the back, so I can’t see clearly, but the footing seems solid.
“Um, so Helen, what’s with the outfit?”
“Yes, it’s a Succubus costume. It was provided.”
“It really looks like a Demon Lord, an Incubus Queen.”
“And look above you.”
Looking up…
Huh, Minimum Succubi,
They’re hanging by ropes and swinging around!
“Eeeek, p-please spare meeeeeee!!”
Ah, well.
Including their wings,
They’re tied up securely.
“Is this punishment?”
“It’s mid-training.”
“What are you going to do?”
“She’s being teased like that.”
From behind, the Succubi also
Get onto the super-sized bed…
It’s good that they’re taking off their boots properly.
“So, what happens now?”
“How about a play where the Hero who came to defeat the Succubus
is ravaged without recourse in the Demon Lord’s room?”
Facing Helen and eight Succubi…
Yeah, it was good I slept alone last night. Today, for this,
It’s not like I was expecting it, but I definitely want to go with this.
“The real Seven Great Demon Lords Battle is coming up, and the final battle awaits.”
“Yes, Queen Chihhi is said to be almost invincible.”
“Almost? Just “almost”?”
“They say if you spend an exorbitant amount of money, perhaps you can.”
As expected from the alias ‘Miserly Demon Lord’.
“Seriously though, do you think you can win?”
“If the strategy we try first works, then maybe.”
“We’re really counting on you for that, Anju.”
Right now, she’s probably dealing with that Titanic Mystery.
“And if it fails?”
“A Stampede will likely occur.”
“We’ll have to deal with it with all our might if that happens.”
“We might face a war of attrition or a total war.”
Well, as for the strategy,
We’ll finalize it the night before the subjugation.
“So, Helen…”
“Yes, Master.”
“Now that I think about it, you really are my bride…”
“I don’t want anyone but Lord Derus.”
“Thank you. Our meeting was… well, it was something.”
“In a way, maybe it was fate.”
Attacking me like that!
No, in this case, “attack” means literally.
Speaking of literally, like a bandit… Helen was desperate.
(Let me recap internally.)
Helen has a yandere disposition.
According to Iwamoto, she has some chuunibyou tendencies too.
Because of that, she was being conveniently used by the man she loved, but that man apparently wasn’t that invested in Helen.
(What was his name again? I forgot, even though she was a slave in a sub-organization for a moment.)
Then, he left her with a debt and ran away.
Struggling to pay off that debt, she attacked us, who had just arrived at Shucco… Fortunate or unfortunate.
(And then she was captured and became a slave.)
We trained her along with our members.
Her early skill specialization was rapid growth, wasn’t it? Because of it, her level hit a ceiling, and she had no further potential for growth. We forcibly kept leveling her up.
(As a result, she became a force capable of defeating the Seven Great Demon Lords…)
Helen was dumped by her ex-boyfriend again and officially.
Her yandere target shifted to me.
And after that, we became so close that she calls me Master.
“…The Succubi have really grown too.”
They’re surrounding me,
Full of fighting spirit, yes, full of intent to “attack” in that sense.
And in front of me, the ringleader Helen, still in her Succubus costume, approaches.
“It’s all thanks to you, Master.
So, please, let me express my gratitude now.”
“Ah, yes. I’m counting on you.”
I swallowed nervously.
“What shall we do?
Shall we restart from the scene where the Hero enters the Demon Lord’s room alone?”
“That’s what you call a ‘situation,’ right? …With this atmosphere, well, I guess it’s okay now.”
Yeah, I can’t hold back.
“Understood. Then… prepare yourself, Hero. Heeheeheeheeheehee…”
And so,
I thoroughly enjoyed myself.
Yes, I really did… The words “defeated Hero” flashed through my mind.
“Hey, m-me too, give me some of that!
I-I’ve reflected enough now, I’ll be a good girl!
My Master, my Lord, right? P-please give me some food, I beg youeeeeee!!”
…I’ll just ignore the noisy one above my head!
