Chapter 108: (?) The Calm Before the Storm

The new Demon King POV

It is evening now. My army and I marched for seven days and finally arrived at this place from the castle.

This is the forest where the Golden Eyes Demon reputedly resides.

“Grarwr (Demon King, we will surely defeat the Golden Eyes Demon, so please stay here…)”

“Never! Golden Eyes Demon! I will bury him with my own hands!”

I shook off my aides, who tried to keep me back, and entered the forest.

Tomita (Cat) POV

Achoo! 

I sniffle.

“Nyanko-san, do you have a cold~?”

I write to Aurene, [Don’t worry.]

Is someone gossiping about me?

“Rawrrhah (Hey old woman! That’s the meat I was going to eat!)”

“Shut up, you gargoyle! Bastet-sama, the meat on the skewer is done!”

I received an orc meat skewer and nibbled on it.

Nomnomnom. It tastes like pork.

But the wild boar meat tastes better.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Intruders in the forest, 501 monsters.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Information on intruders entering the forest under the title [Master of the Forest] flows through my head.

Appraisal.

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Appraisal Results

Intruder: Demon King Gorn and his 500 subordinates

――――――――――――――――――――――――

Who is this Demon King Gorn?

I asked Aurene, [Do you know who the Demon King Gorn is?]

“Gorn? You mean the new Demon King?”

Splitting the used board, I shove it into the furnace.

Almost all of the fuel for the furnace is from the boards I have written on and no longer use.

Taking out a new board, I write, [The Demon King and his 500 subordinates have entered the forest.] 

““……””

Aurene and Sylph obaa-san look at each other and grin.

“Sweeping the garbage, my arms are itching after all these years.”

“It’s good for practicing the bow.”

[You’re trying to beat them, aren’t you? First, we will talk.] 

I will not show mercy if they attack without question, but I prefer to settle the matter peacefully if they don’t.

But my little wish was not granted.
