“Maito, can you move?”
“Well, somehow.”
Suzumoto took off his haori which I received and put on. Thank you, now it’s warm.
“Alright, so you’re there?”
I think he’s trying to figure out where I am. And my arm was caught.
“…you, you’re alive, right?”
“Yeah, somehow.”
Somehow, he sounded quite scared.
“Is it too cold?”
“Yeah, it’s cold.”
“…can you endure? Toriumi. Can you hear me?”
Ueh!? No way!?
[Ah, yeah. What happened? An emergency?]
“Right now, we’re on the hill near the temple. Maito can’t use [Transfer]. She also looks strange. Can you be a taxi for a moment?”
[Hmm? That’s tough, I’m going now.]
A moment later, Toriumi appeared and transferred us to the Northeast 2F. I-I’m sorry…
“Then I’ll go back, tell me if something happens again.”
“Yeah, thanks. I’ll contact you later, but it seems like the Great Priest will return to the temple tomorrow morning, so go with that in mind.”
If we get it right, we can catch him at that moment.
“I understand. Then, good night.”
Toriumi saluted and went back. …now then.
“For the time being, wear some clothes, Maito. …can you wear them on your own?”
“Probably.”
And with that, Suzumoto and Hariu went out of the laboratory.
When I took off the haori I had borrowed and had the maid dolls help me put on my clothes, my condition returned to normal.
…why, is this?
“Sorry for the wait.”
I called Suzumoto and Hariu who were right outside the laboratory door.
“I felt better when I wear clothes.”
“I can’t trust your energy.”
How terrible.
“For now, it’s scary if we don’t know the cause. Maito-san, what do you think of it?”
…well, I wonder if it’s necessary to find the cause.
Uhm, sure…when I held the second cause, I felt something was wrong. Was that it? Certainly, this time, I was in stealth mode with two causes.
“I wonder if the second cause is the problem.”
“I see, then remove it.”
No no no no no. If I remove it, you guys will be tired! Besides…I think it’s probably because I had two causes and removed all the doping equipment. If so, it’s okay so long as I don’t take off my clothes.
When I explained something like that, I got approval with a frown. Well, yeah. It took a long time to reach the conclusion that it was best for me to equip the cause.
“Well then, I’m going to the temple again.”
“…ahh, I understand. Ariane-san, right?”
Correct. Now that the amulet is gone, Ariane-san is probably defenseless! Then, let’s do [Share] now and get all the information we can get! It’s a scheme.
“Are you really okay?”
“I’m fine. It’s going to be late as usual, so you should sleep.”
He’s been doing that all this time, this guy.
Seems like Hariu has completely grasped the map inside the temple. He immediately saw Ariane-san’s room and came back.
“No, Ariane-san is not sleeping.”
She hasn’t slept.
“Shall we go stealth mode and sing?”
“That’s what made you stuck a while ago, right, Maito-san?”
Yeah, that’s right.
“Then wait until she sleeps?”
“Hnn…ahh, I wonder if President is still awake. I’ll ask if there’s an aerosol version of the sleeping pill.”
After saying so, Hariu sunk into the shadows again.
Hmm…this skill is really a mystery. Going into the shadows…isn’t it strange? It’s strange, right?
“Maito-san, you can come now.”
Because I got a signal from Hariu, I [Transferred] to Minamo.
I saw a beautiful woman lying in bed in the moonlight, sleeping comfortably.
Her hair spread over the pure white sheets and some strands spilled over the edge of the bed. Well, it’s like we’re doing something sinister if combined with Ariane-san’s beauty.
To be on the safe side, I added [Lullaby] and then [Share] as usual.
…uowa! What’s this! What’s this! Ahhhh, this, this…this is…terrible!
There are too many Suzumoto-related stuff that it’s a little annoying! Or rather, uwaah, Ariane-san is surprisingly passionate… ah, wait, what’s this, uwa, I saw it! I definitely saw it! Ahhhhhhhh! Do neat beauties think about this? Just what are you thinking! I’m sorry, not only for Ariane-san but also for Suzumoto! No, this is what Ariane-san is thinking, but it’s a little, uwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
…it’s upsetting, but I’m still fine. I’m sick, but I’m fine. What did I just see? I forgot about that. I erased it from my memory. For Ariane-san, Suzumoto, and my mental health.
And I somehow succeeded in peeking into the [pangs of conscience] part of Ariane-san.
I see, what Ariane-san said was half true but half was a lie.
The Great Priest is not really that strong. At least, Ariane-san knows only such a Great Priest.
Of course, there are a few physical means of attack but as for magic, only a little light magic can be used. I wonder if it’s even possible to use it for healing.
…even so, the Great Priest still holds the highest position because he knows how to make a [Miracle Drug] that causes miracles. This can be said to be the greatest strength of the Great Priest. Seems like Ariane-san doesn’t know the details either.
And it’s true that the Great Priest will return to the temple tomorrow, but there’s a lie here as well.
Indeed, the Great Priest will return to the temple tomorrow. But that’s not to fight the Demon King.
…I’m sure it’s to recover the Lives of the Heroes.
As for why. Ariane-san doesn’t know that, but I do.
In other words, is it a 1-up mushroom?
Now then. After finishing [Share], the sky was white. Again!
My MP was empty, so after recovering, I used [Transfer] with Hariu.
When we returned to the lab, Suzumoto was waiting while playing Concentration with one person.
“Welcome back.”
“I wish I can have you sleep, but you might have to move too.”
“…what do you mean?”
“The Great Priest is going to run away. We have to catch him.”
I’m sorry for doing this early in the morning, but I have the maid dolls attached to everyone to wake them up to have an emergency meeting.
“Testing testing. This is [Head Maid]. Our samurai has accomplished the task perfectly.”
Immediately after that report, everyone gave warm applause and laughter. Now now, how about being quiet for a moment?
“And when I looked into the memory of the target earlier, seems like the Great Priest will come back this morning to go recover the Life of the Heroes. Therefore, we should wait in that room. I want to capture the Great Priest who came there!”
From there, we set up a strategy at a tremendous speed, we changed clothes, and with everyone’s equipment, [Transferred].
Apparently, Kadomi and Toriumi are sharing a room. If so, then that’s good so everyone gathered there.
For those who haven’t changed, they did and the Demon King’s Army is complete.
As soon as I opened the door, I could see a Demon King Army in the room and tried to turn around but got held back. Yeah, over-spec.
Only Hariu went to the entrance to make sure the Great Priest is there.
Alright, I wonder if I should think about my lines a little…
[This is [Minamo]! The target is approaching! It looks like he’s in a hurry!]
“Roger that. We’re also ready here. We’re ready anytime.”
Then I waited excitedly while listening to Hariu’s live broadcast, and when I thought I heard hectic footsteps outside the door, an unlocking sound echoed and the door opened.
“Wha…!?”
An Ossan with some nice equipment…the Great Priest stiffened when he saw me laughing like a demon, then turned around and tried to escape.
“Sweet.”
But this is what happened. When the Ossan stiffened, [Transfer] has already been activated!
I laughed like a Demon King as much as possible, then immediately activated [Sleeping Coccoon] on the Great Priest…or tried to.
“E-Eat this!”
Suddenly, the ring of the Great Priest shone.
…and the next moment, a beautiful dagger that seemed to be made of silver was already in my belly. I was stabbed.
…well, that’s why I’m talking about what happened.
“What happened? Is this all?”
The people around me didn’t show up, but they seemed to be impatient, so I ridiculed the Great Priest with a gentle voice.
“Hii, a Sacred Silver Knife that I put light magic to the limit…!?”
“Fool. Did you think that would work on the Demon King?”
I walked one step with a dagger stuck in my belly, and the ring of the Great Priest shone again…but it broke before something was activated.
Then, at the next moment, the Great Priest was blown away and collided with the wall. He fell down.
…then, the chest of the defeated Great Priest began to shine, so, anyway, I have to hurry!
“Sleep!”
And, at the moment the Great Priest opened his eyes, [Sleeping Coccoon] was finally activated.
[Sleeping Cocoon] is not disturbed by the amulet. Because this is a skill that works in a positive direction. Hagasaki-kun purchased the information that the amulet allows skills that work in the positive direction.
The plan went well splendidly.
The Great Priest fell asleep wrapped in a thin, invisible cocoon before activating the unfamiliar tool.
For the time being, the deadline was set to about one month. Anyway, if we want to wake him up, I can just [Clean] it.
“Maito-san, are you okay…I think it’ll hurt a little, so I’m sorry.”
After Kariya apologized, he pulled out the dagger stuck in my belly.
It was a little painful, but it’s nothing with my [Pain Resistance].
“…I was caught off guard.”
President seemed to regret it, but it can’t be helped.
Rather, I think it’s better to have just one puncture wound on my belly. There’s the possibility that more incomprehensible tools could be used.
…it might hurt a little to destroy the tools. I think it was something that can stop time…that’s why, it can’t be helped.
And so, I was able to capture the Great Priest easily with this, and all I have to do is extract information from this guy. Then let’s go back! And sleep! Sleepy! I’m really sleepy!
But if we go back like this, it’ll be suspicious, so as usual, only me, Suzumoto, and Hariu returned. Ah, there’s also one more luggage called the Great Priest.
“Now then. …isn’t this guy trapped in the [Sleeping Cocoon]?”
“Yeah.”
That’s why I’m relieved, but…we’re skeptical enough to not feel relieved to let him go. In other words, it’s suspicious.
“So let’s tie up this man!”
Hariu tied up the Great Priest with the cocoon. Yeah, the cocoon itself is so thin that doing this makes sense.
“It’d be troublesome if magic was also used.”
The sealing handcuffs were taken from somewhere at some point and Suzumoto put them on the Great Priest.
“Let’s blindfold him.”
He’s also blindfolded.
“Let’s cover his mouth.”
Even gagged.
“Uhm, then…”
Then I realized.
“Let’s make him a slave.”
If there’s an exploding collar, there’d be no more effective restraint.
So we went to George-san.
“Good morning~”
“Uwaa!? …ah, Maito-san?”
Sagara was surprised, but, yeah, I’m still the Demon King. Let’s solve this [disguise] for the time being.
“Uhm, where’s George-san?”
“Still sleeping.”
I suppose.
“Uhmm, then, Sagara-kun. Is there a collar in this store that will explode if you violate the owner’s orders?”
“Haa!? …what are you using it for?”
Sagara went into the warehouse while mumbling and eventually brought out a worn-out collar.
“Here.”
“…can I use it?”
“It’s okay, it’s George-san’s, so I guess he’d already copied it.”
Ah, right, George-san’s job was [Copy Warlock]. It’s almost the same as Tsukimori-san’s.
“Uhm, then I’ll take it. Ah right, it’s almost time to finish salting the bacon so I’ll bring it.”
“Okay. I’ll tell George-san.”
I took the collar, entered the basement, and [Transferred] with a container of meat soaked in salt and spices.
“Ah, welcome back.”
“…that, what happened?”
When I got home, the Great Priest was tied up with a tortoise shell.
“Because it’s a good idea.”
…it’s a little pitiful to be tied up with a tortoiseshell just because it’s a good idea…but I still put on the exploding collar.
Now then. I’m hungry so I decided to go to bed later.
After finishing breakfast with ochakuze, the [Communication] bracelet shone.
[[Sakura] here. Can you hear me?]
“We can hear you.”
What happened now?
[The Great Priest’s disappearance spread throughout the temple.]
Ohh, that spread quite quickly. …ah, right. He’s the Great Priest.
[But, it’s not reported that he’s captured by the Demon King’s army. …this is a chance.]
…what now?
[This is our chance to thoroughly dismantle the temple.]
…seems like my life as the Demon King will continue.
“Maito, can you move?”
“Well, somehow.”
Suzumoto took off his haori which I received and put on. Thank you, now it’s warm.
“Alright, so you’re there?”
I think he’s trying to figure out where I am. And my arm was caught.
“…you, you’re alive, right?”
“Yeah, somehow.”
Somehow, he sounded quite scared.
“Is it too cold?”
“Yeah, it’s cold.”
“…can you endure? Toriumi. Can you hear me?”
Ueh!? No way!?
[Ah, yeah. What happened? An emergency?]
“Right now, we’re on the hill near the temple. Maito can’t use [Transfer]. She also looks strange. Can you be a taxi for a moment?”
[Hmm? That’s tough, I’m going now.]
A moment later, Toriumi appeared and transferred us to the Northeast 2F. I-I’m sorry…

“Yeah, thanks. I’ll contact you later, but it seems like the Great Priest will return to the temple tomorrow morning, so go with that in mind.”
If we get it right, we can catch him at that moment.
“I understand. Then, good night.”
Toriumi saluted and went back. …now then.
“For the time being, wear some clothes, Maito. …can you wear them on your own?”
“Probably.”
And with that, Suzumoto and Hariu went out of the laboratory.
