『𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐣𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐮𝐬𝐲』 𝐋𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 『𝐝𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐥𝐚𝐳𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬』 𝐍𝐢𝐬𝐫𝐨𝐤
In a certain place, there was a demon.
It had the appearance of a female.
With tan skin, three short horns sprouting, and her white hair tied back in a ponytail. Her attire was quite revealing, wrapping a cloth around her chest and donning a jacket with only shorts. . . . . .However, this female demon looked like nothing more than a child.
She seemed to be around thirteen years old, standing at about 130 centimeters tall.
A demon girl. Her name was Leivinia.
“Is this the place?”
A high-pitched, child-like voice.
Leivinia, with her arms crossed, was looking up at a certain building.
It was an old-fashioned, two-story wooden building. Suddenly, from a tree nearby Leivinia, a large mass fell with a thud.
“Ah~ it hurts. . . . . .Ugh, I’m so sleepy.”
“Keep it down, idiot! We’ve sneaked all the way here. If they find out, what will we do?!”
“Ugh. . . . . .I just want to be lazy. . . . . .”
“Seriously, this fool. . . . . .”
The one who fell was a male demon.
He was about twice the height of the girl. However, their facial features were strikingly similar, both having a somewhat drowsy expression.
The man’s name was Nisrok, a demon of 『sloth』.
Nisrok slowly got up. . . . . .and then promptly fell back down.
“Ahhhhh~~~I can’t, I have no motivation. . . . . .”
“For such a big guy, you’re so unmotivated! Hubris and Abel got taken down by these guys! If we don’t investigate and report to big sister Florentia, we’ll get scolded again!”
“Little sis~~~~ It’ll be fine. There’s no way Florentia would lose to a human, especially not a man~~~~ Let’s take them down together~~~~”
“I can’t tell if you’re motivated or not. . . . . .But I agree we should go for it.”
Leivinia grinned, revealing her jagged teeth.
And then, bone-like 『blades』 sprouted from the back of both of her hands.
“This is our chance while they’re feeling overconfident after taking down Hubris. They’ll never expect demons to invade the Kingdom of Asgard, where 21 summoners reside.”
“Right. We might not be good at combat, but we can sneak in and strike~~~yawwn~.”
“Focus! Let’s show them our true power━━”
Just as Leivinia was helping Nisrok stand up. . . . . .
Albero, falling from the sky, stood in front of them with his right arm enlarged.
“Whaaat?!”
“Whooooa?!”
“Demons!! I had a bad feeling you’d show up!”
Indeed, this was in front of the S-class dormitory.
Leivinia and the others came to assassinate the S-class Summoners.
However, they were quite shocked by Albero’s sudden appearance.
“Don’t scare us like that!”
“. . . . . .You’re a demon, right? You’re here to assassinate us?”
“They know. . . . . .This is bad.”
“Little sis, what do we do? We might not be able to win against someone stronger than Hubris.”
“Uh. . . . . .”
Sweat was dripping from Leivinia.
Albero was conflicted. Should he 『harden』 or capture them alive and interrogate them?
Somehow, he felt. . . . . .they weren’t that strong.
“Choose, either fight me or get captured and spill everything. . . . . .There’s still time.”
“What do you say?”
“. . . . . .”
Leivinia quietly retracted her nails.
“I surrender! Please, don’t kill me!”
“. . . . . .What?”
“That’s the thing. We, especially me, don’t really have much combat ability… We’re good at gathering information though.”
“. . . . . .Well, I get it. So. . . . . .what to do. . . . . .”
There’s no way he could let her in the dorm and serve tea.
If he calls the kingdom’s army, these two will be caught, and they will likely be forced to spill everything they know before being executed.
Demon. . . . . .A summoned beast of the Demon Emperor.
Strangely enough, he doesn’t feel too negative about these two. Of course, he doesn’t have any affection for them, but they’re not to be underestimated.
After a bit of hesitation, Albero decided.
“. . . . . .Alright. Let me hear it. Do you know of my abilities?”
“Um, um. . . . . .『Solidify』, right? The power to solidify both time and space and kill.”
“Yeah. So you do know.”
“Of course. My ability is called 『Past Sniff』. By smelling a place, I can know what happened there in the past!”
“Really?”
“Ah?! No, no, ignore that!”
Leivinia seemed rather absent-minded.
The ability called 『Past Sniff』. In other words, if you smell the place where Hubris had fought, you can get a rough idea of what happened. Kid, Ashe, Lapis, and even the recently joined Ridelle’s abilities are completely exposed.
It might be the perfect ability for gathering information.
“And you?”
“I have the 『Demon Communication』 ability. Any creature that receives my power can freely control demon beasts. Demons can communicate mentally with each other, no matter how far apart. It’s a very convenient power.”
“. . . . . .Interesting.”
“Hey, stupid Nisrok! Who the heck goes around blabbing about their own abilities?!”
“Ah, I’m sorry. . . . . .”
“. . . . . .”
Albero seemed less tense.
Were the demons not called the seven calamities, the summoned beasts?
“. . . . . .You stand out here. I’ll make an exception and let you in the dorm. But if you pull any stunts. . . . . .”
“We won’t, we promise!”
“We wooooon’t. . . . . .zzz.”
Leivinia, pleading desperately, and Nisrok, who seemed a bit sleepy.
Albero allowed the two into the dorm.
◇◇◇◇◇◇
Albero sat them on the sofa, his right hand still enlarged, glaring at the two.
“Uh, um. . . . . .W, What would you like us to talk about?”
“The whereabouts of the other demons. Especially 『Lust』.”
“Ah, Sister Florentia?. . . . . .I’d advise against it. When she’s angry, she’s terrifying.”
“Just tell me.”
“Eek. . . . . .Y, Yes, yes!!”
Just then, the dormitory door opened.
“We’re baaaaa━Huh?”
“Hm?”
“. . . . . .Who are you?”
Ashe, Kid, and Ridelle returned, each holding large shopping bags.
