Midgardsorm, stretching widely, lay down.
“Ah. . . . . .such good weather.”
ㅤ
Blue sky, white clouds. And the scent of greenery tickling the nostrils on a gentle breeze. Mixed in was a thick, metallic smell.
That was the smell of blood.
Midgardsorm lay atop a pile of numerous dead bodies.
This was a village. As Beelzebub had instructed, Midgardsorm had slaughtered all the villagers.
The human corpses Midgardsorm used as a bed ranged from old to young, male to female. There was no mercy, just the feeling of breaking objects. . . . . .or even less than that.
“This is. . . . . .nice.”
ㅤ
Unlike 『that world』, everything in 『this world』 is refreshing.
The sepia-toned 『other world』 was just boring. No scent, no wind, just a static, dull landscape.
But this world is different. The gentle breeze caressing the body, and the overwhelming scent of blood, were all new and fresh to Midgardsorm.
It’s not that he liked humans. He just liked this world.
Humans probably don’t particularly love the doors at the entrances of buildings. To Midgardsorm, humans were like those doors.
No matter how many doors you break, the heart doesn’t ache.
ㅤ
“. . . . . .I think I’ll sleep.”
ㅤ
There was no specified time for Midgardsorm to return to Beelzebub.
Midgardsorm yawned widely again and closed his eyes.
ㅤ
◇◇◇◇◇◇
ㅤ
“You passed.”
ㅤ
Back at the base, Bahamut and Midgardsorm were greeted with words of appreciation by Beelzebub who clapped for them. However, both seemed indifferent.
Then, there was a knock on the door of the room where Beelzebub and the others were. It was a slow, polite knock.
ㅤ
“Come in.”
“Excuse me~♪.”
ㅤ
But the one who entered was a flamboyantly dressed woman.
She wore something resembling a bikini, covered with a light veil, had gold and silver chains wrapped around her body, and sported jewels everywhere. She appeared to be in her twenties, with long wavy white hair and two thick, long horns, like a cow’s, protruding from her temples.
Beelzebub bowed and introduced her.
ㅤ
“Let me introduce you. This is Florentia. Humans call her 『Lust』.”
“I quite like that name♪. Fufu, Lust. . . . . .isn’t it just perfect for me?”
ㅤ
For some reason, Florentia leaned forward, emphasizing her chest.
Of course, neither Beelzebub nor Midgardsorm were swayed by her allure. Any human would undoubtedly be ensnared by such intense allure.
“Now, four of the Lord’s followers have gathered. Ideally, I’d like three more. . . . . .but for now, this will do. Using excessive power before the Lord’s complete revival is not good.”
“You’re so serious. Well, that’s cute too♪.”
ㅤ
Florentia giggled softly. But Beelzebub paid her no mind.
Then, he asked a question.
ㅤ
“Florentia, how many have you destroyed?”
“Hmm, around twenty? Oh, but I made sure to leave the handsome ones untouched. Fufu. . . . . .they’re irresistible. In every small village or settlement, there’s always one. A boy who looks tempting. Just imagine it. I kill his family right in front of him, but I let him live. Then he grows stronger, wanting revenge on me. . . . . .and when the time comes, I show up. He tries to exact his revenge. And then I. . . . . .ah. . . . . .it’s just too much.”
“I don’t understand. But I must say, the villages you destroy are too small.”
“Well, because~. . . . . .bigger towns are fun to play in. They’re interesting.”
“. . . . . .Good grief.”
ㅤ
Beelzebub shakes his head in exasperation.
Florentia’s hobby is town hopping. Eating delicious food, buying clothes, purchasing accessories. . . . . .Just as ordinary humans enjoy roaming towns, so does Florentia.
It’s not that she likes humans. She just likes what humans create.
ㅤ
“Ah, Beelzebub. About that matter~”
“You want me to spare craftsmen who make clothing and accessories just for you? I’ve said it many times, that’s not permissible. Only the Lord.”
“But I want to show off my glamorous side to the Demon Emperor-sama, don’t I need tailors and jewelers for that?”
“What we have in this world right now should suffice.”
“Boo~.”
“Hey, how much longer do we have to listen to your nonsense?”
ㅤ
Bahamut speaks in annoyance.
Beelzebub clears his throat slightly.
ㅤ
“Ahem. So, moving on. . . . . .for the time being, attack human towns and villages and show them the appearance of the Lord’s loyal demons. Then, proclaim the Lord’s complete revival and that he will destroy this world. After that, the Lord will summon all our kin from 『that other world』 and completely seize control of this world.”
“So, we just have to wreak havoc?”
“Yes. But be careful, Bahamut. . . . . .There are formidable opponents among humans. You’ve heard of the name Jabberwock, haven’t you?”
“. . . . . .Yeah.”
“He has completely mingled with humans.”
“What?! That’s ridiculous!”
“Indeed. So, please be cautious. Besides him, there are twenty-one summoners who once sealed the Lord, and the Kingdom of Asgard. Battling within that kingdom is strictly forbidden.”
“Understood.”
“. . . . . .Midgardsorm, are you listening?”
“I am. Hurry up. . . . . .I’m sleepy.”
“Good grief.”
“Fufu♪, it seems like we’re going to get along♪.”
ㅤ
Beelzebub, Florentia, Bahamut, Midgardsorm.
The four demons gathered, and what would later be called the 『Demon Rampage』 was about to begin.
