"...... I see. Mm-hmm. I kind of knew you would."

"So you're not surprised that the Demon King has recruited you?"

"Lady Vivienne predicted that Tomoya would recruit you. And it's not good to have only one Demon King in the office. It would be a good thing to have one Demon Lord vacant, because a fool like Bowood would appear."

He does not understand why Tomoya has nominated him for the position of Demon King.

I think he has his own reasons.

As Zoe says, a new Demon King is needed to correct the balance that has been broken by the loss of Lepsi.

But that doesn't mean he can't rise up like Bowood did.

"Speaking of which, how are Bowood and the others doing?"

"They've followed us, so Vivienne has been very gracious and let them go to the guest house to do as they please. They're probably having a good time, though. As for me, I'm not happy about it, but I'll just have to go along with it if Vivian-sama agrees, since they're a pathetic bunch that got crushed before they could do anything."

"I followed you. What do you know about Varzad and the others?

I didn't have much."

Bowood was cooperative in passing on information about Varzad.

However, he did not have anything of this kind.

It is said that he was planning to rise up to become the Demon King when Varzad and his men appeared and beat him to a pulp.

Bowood tried to follow Valzard who showed his ability, but to his surprise, they invited him to become the Demon King with them.

Borwood and his friends were delighted by his generosity and decided to join them.

"In the end, they just used us for their own gain," said Bowood. Valzado said he used Bowood too, but it is possible that he was still up to something.

"They're a pain in the ass. If they want to be the Demon King so badly, why don't they challenge Tomoya and the others and fall prey to their lucky schemes?"

"No doubt. But I don't know where Tomoya usually is."

In fact, Varzad and the others will be quite a formidable foe.

They could cut off heads with impunity and their magical power was off the charts. 

We don't even know what kind of demons they are.

Or even if they were demons at all.

The thought of them taking action at any moment is terrifying.

"I'll have to get stronger."

Eventually they will appear as enemies in front of Sam.

We need to be strong enough to deal with them.

"You're so positive--I envy you."

"...... What's wrong, all of a sudden?"

Zoe's words came out of nowhere and startled Sam.

He had never expected her to say that she envied him.

I couldn't do anything in front of Varzad and the others.

I could see that Zoe was depressed because she knew what she was capable of and was proud to be a strong person.

"I didn't make it easy for them, but most of all I didn't make it easy for Master Lepsey," she said. I wish I had the strength to stand up to Varzad and the others like Sam did and free Lady Lepsey."

"--Zoe."

"...... sorry. I don't know why I'm so weak with you."

She looked like she was about to start crying, but Sam was a little worried, even though she smiled and said it was nothing.

"If it were me, I'd listen to you anytime, okay?"

"Mm. I appreciate it. When you do, I'll be counting on you."

However, not knowing how far to go, he could only say a few bland things.

Zoe changed the subject as if she wanted to change her mind.

"By the way, Vivienne suggested that I go to the Kingdom of Skye."

"Really?"

"Mm. I would need permission from the king there, but I would like to stay for a while if possible."

"Well, why?"

"Since you and Vivienne have established a friendship in the Kingdom of Skye, what good is a friendship if we don't interact with each other? I will go there, and if possible, I would like the Sky Kingdom to send someone to the Night Kingdom to deepen our exchange.

"That's a good idea."

If we are going to have a full-fledged exchange, we should go deeper as Zoe said.

There are countries that have friendship in name only, but in order to avoid such a situation, I would like to get along well with Vivian and the Demon King.

Bowood and the others have said they will follow us.

"Really?"

Sam's allegiance to the Bowoods is not good, since he and the Bowoods have not yet settled their differences, but he is glad that the Bowoods, as strong warriors as they are, recognize him.

I don't want a subordinate, but I hope we can be friends.

"-Oh, by the way..."

"Yeah?"

"I received a messenger from Evangeline, the Demon King--"

Zoe tilted her head.

"Help me," was the only message she sent, but what was it about? Well, let's just ignore it."

"...... is fine."

"I don't know where that Demon Lord is in the first place. It would have been a different story if he had at least told us where he was, but I don't know where he is playing around at all.

Afterwards, Sam and Zoe had a light-hearted chat.

--Sam would look back on this day and regret his decision not to accept Evangeline's help.
