Unable to accept Daphne's words as they were, Sam stared at her face, stunned, as if she were family.

Of course, there was no reason for Daphne to lie at this moment, and as she said, someone from the demon tribe must really have risen up and claimed to be the Demon King.

I asked Mizuki and Catherine, who were also from the Sky Kingdom. Mizuki seemed to be speechless and Catherine seemed to know that something big had happened and her hairless head was sweating.

"Well, that was surprisingly quick."

"I had expected that someone would try to take Master Lepsey's place, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. It's very thoughtless of them.

However, in contrast to the three humans, the Demon King Vivian and his servant Zoey accepted what Daphne had told them without a care in the world.

Or rather, they seemed to have expected this to happen.

"Which child has taken the name of the Demon King?"

"I am Bowood of the Lion Clan. I think he now calls himself Bowood, the Demon King of the Lion Clan."

"--Yes."

Vivienne cast her eyes down in disappointment.

"What kind of a demon king is that thing with all its pride! I knew he was jealous of the fact that the werewolf tribe had a demon king, but of all people, such a weakling would call himself a demon king in place of Master Lepsey!"

Zoe, on the other hand, was indignant, saying that she did not know the Bowood who called himself the Demon King, and that he was not fit to be Lepsey's successor.

She must have been very angry.

Sharp canine teeth protruded from Zoey's small lips, and her eyes were dilated.

"No, Miss Zoe, no."

"What?"

Daphne's voice was laced with dismay as she spoke to Zoey, who was furious.

"Bowood of the Lion Clan calls himself the new Demon King!

"...... what? What do you mean?"

"They are trying to replace all the demon kings without Vivian and the others who are currently reigning as demon kings.

He's an idiot, right?

I agree.

Sam understood that Bowood was up to something terrible, but for some reason, Zoe had put her anger aside when she heard Daphne's words.

Sam, who had lost interest in the conversation for the moment, raised his hand and shouted.

"Wait, wait, wait, wait! Daphne! Zoey! I'm sorry, but you have to say it so we can understand! What did the Demon King say?"

"No, sir, mister. A fool who is not qualified to call himself the Demon King has called himself the Demon King. And he's trying to get rid of Vivian and the others and replace himself as the new Demon King!

Isn't that important?

Yes, it's more than just a grandiose dream, more than just a plot to replace Master Lepsey.

A bad sweat beads down Sam's cheeks.

Mizuki and Kathryn are also in a quandary, wondering what to do about this unimaginable situation.

"We're in trouble. It's a little bit dangerous, isn't it?

Sam's head hurt when Vivienne did not seem too troubled.

He couldn't understand how she could be so calm after all the uprisings that had taken place.

No, before that, he can't help but think that there is no need for Sam and the others to make up their minds at this time when they have come to establish friendly relations with the Demon Lord.

Sam couldn't help but speak out loud.

"-This is a troublesome time!"

But Zoe turned to Sam,

"No, it's because you're here."

Sam's eyes widened as he said this, as if to say, "What are you talking about?

"What? Me?"

She turns to face Sam, who is not understanding the meaning of Zoey's words, and tries to continue,

"Hey, Zoe."

"...... excuse me. It's nothing, forget it."

Vivian chides him and he keeps his mouth shut.

But that doesn't mean I can forget what she said.

"Wait a minute, don't pretend that I didn't hear you say that much. What do you mean I'm the cause of this?"

Sam wanted to shout, "Why?

"-No way, it's because I beat the lepers?"

I looked at Zoe, Vivian, and Daphne, and all three nodded, though they looked troubled.

I guess that's what they meant.

"Don't get me wrong, Sam. I have nothing against you. I myself still have my doubts about the fact that a small human defeated Master Lepsey, but I don't think it's a lie. But I am sure that there are some among the demonkind who have more doubts than I do."

"But that doesn't mean..."

"Or, if the demon king can be beaten by a human, it is no wonder that some people think that they are more suitable to be the demon king."

"No, no, no, that's too extreme, demon people."

It is too positive to think that we are worthy of the Demon King so easily.

When Sam's head was in his hands, Catherine raised her hand.

"What's wrong?"

"You know, Zoey. I'm wondering if you could help me."

"What?"

"I wonder if there is a demon tribe that thinks they are more suitable to be the Demon King than the Demon King Lepsy-sama, even though they see the scar that ripped the earth apart?"

"The demons - no, the beastmen - are short-sighted. No, not all of them, but especially those who are brought up with pride, like the lions. I am sure that they do not think that they are stronger than the Lepusy. But the Master Lepsy is not here now. Then, if I kill Sam who defeated Lepsy-sama, the next demon king will be me, and I'm stronger than Lepsy-sama, then I'll get rid of the demon kings in my mind.

"Oh, my, that's a problem."

Sam was more than annoyed, he couldn't help but shout loudly.

"What is that? It's a super disgusting association game!"
