Last night was a treat, indeed.
Eh, you want to know what happened? It’s just something that took place.
All I did was to let them have an understanding, both physically and mentally, that a kin cannot defy their master, the Demon King.
Though I won’t disclose the specific means involved! Nor would I describe the situation at the time, either! Since I will not elaborate, it gives you room for your fantasies!
And this is not good. The two girls are shooting murderous stares at me.
“Ahem. Now, I have an assignment for each of you.”
“One day, I swear I’ll kill you…”
“Ichiko. When that time comes, let me partake along with you…”
Phew. This is what is commonly regarded as a “Yandere” (not true).
“First, Ryo.”
“What is it?”
“You’re going to head back to your house now and collect dungeon-related intelligence from all over the world.”
“Why?”
“I was utterly segregated from the outside world for a year for the creation of my dungeon. Furthermore, even now, I am still in a vain position to have access to most information. Therefore, I need to obtain information, even if it means leveraging the resources of your house. Oh, and watch out that your true identity is not exposed, for you are undoubtedly classified as a demonic entity now. If you are discovered, they will most certainly kill you.”
“! I.. understand that…”
“Well, if feasible, even among demonic beings, those who are amicable can strive in various ways to get out. Though who knows if it will turn out to be successful.”
At my words, Ryo is struggling gravely. Well, it’s only natural since her life and her future are at stake.
I should also give her a warning.
“Ah, that’s right. Don’t ever divulge any information about me or my relationship with you or the back door you went through, do you hear me?”
“Tsk.”
Oi oi, young lady, don’t click your tongue. Whoever is in control of the information conquers the battle, so this much is a given.
Incidentally, I’ll let Ryo out through the front door. A set-up? That would be…
“So, Ichiko, I’m going to have you pronounced dead.”
“What!?”
This is the course of direction I should be moving in.
“Because even if I send you back as you are, you would be dismissed as a bodyguard for failing to fulfill your duties. And if it comes down to it, you won’t have much of a backup, will you? In that case, it would be wiser for people to assume that you died protecting Ryo.”
“But I…!”
“Oh, yeah. If you want to strike back against me, I’ll offer you a little advice to accomplish that.”
“What!?”
Now, here’s what I want Ichiko to work on.
“Are you guys aware of the conditions under which you can raise your levels?”
“I don’t know.”
“I have no idea.”
“Then let me enlighten you. For humans, these enemies can be any demons, but for us demons, they must be humans or demons belonging to a dungeon different from our own.”
“That’s…”
What’s wrong? Oh no, it’s incredibly significant.
“In other words, there is another dungeon south of here, and if you defeat the monsters in that dungeon, you will still earn experience.”
“I see. That means you want Ichiko to combat the monsters in the dungeon.”
“Precisely what you said. While on the subject, the accumulated experience is not directly credited to you but is first collected by me and roughly 50% of it is transferred to my side. After that, the balance will be distributed to you.”
“Hah!?”
“You could also note that this is not a provision that I have adopted, but rather a specification that has been in place from the beginning. The other monsters are also garnering experience under these conditions. In addition, once I have collected the experience, Ichiko can pass on some of the experience to Ryo, which could be of assistance to her.”
Oh, she’s distressed over this matter. After all, it seems that the most vital matter for Ichiko is the young lady.
Speaking of which, if I may chime in on the experience value related topic, apparently what is critical when it involves the drastically reduced experience points obtained by defeating an enemy outside of a dungeon is determined by whether or not the enemy is in a dungeon, irrespective of their affiliation with another dungeon.
To put it another way, if a demon in labyrinth A were to defeat a demon in labyrinth C while in labyrinth B, the experience gained would not be diminished. This is what I mean.
“And one more thing. It is likely that as the level of Kirijin advances, they will eventually rise in rank and evolve into Demon Kings. Once that happens, you’ll be out of my kinship and you’ll be able to inflict damage on me.”
“!?”
Ichiko’s eyes spark a flame of motivation as she catches on to my words.
And Ryo quietly raises her hand.
“May I ask one thing?”
“Yes, Ryo? If you want me to love you, I’ll love you back.”
“I’ll decline your offer. When you mentioned the dungeon in the south, you mean what we call X-J1, don’t you? Is there any reason to attack there?”
“There’s no solid reason. However, based on the way they’re operating, they’ll be out of the picture in a couple of months or so. In that case, it would be more productive to gain as much experience as possible before the fall, wouldn’t it?”
“So you have no desire to aid another same Demon King…”
“I do not have any intention of doing so. That’s how Demon Kings are.”
That’s right. We, the Demon Kings, are willing to sacrifice anything and exploit any means to attain our goals. And at some point, everything will be consumed and engulfed by the fog. And that would be me. I am the King of the Devouring Black Fog, the Demon King. Hahahaha.
Oh, yeah. I shall not laugh any further, because it sounds like what a small fry will do.
“Well, that’s why both of you have to perform your roles as best you can. Ah, yes, and if I judge that you need to be disciplined for slacking off or being exposed, I’ll call you out, so just be sure you realize what that means.”
Hearing these words, the two of them tremble subtly.
Hmm. Have I pushed it a little too far?
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
