I'm surrounded by devil sisters!

When Huakaiyuan Fogui turned around, he saw a somewhat flamboyant figure peeking out from the already crumbling gate of the palace behind him.

He was a male demon in revealing clothing. He was wearing a bodysuit, but it had a large V-neck opening on the chest that extended all the way to his navel, revealing his solid and well-defined chest and abdominal muscles. He also had a dark blue skirt around his waist to highlight his slender waist.

Of course, the most eye-catching thing is the long blue hair and the purple horn extending from the forehead.

What the hell, this person is too generous...

Huakaiyuan Fogui couldn't help but twitch his lips the moment he saw it, and subconsciously complained in his heart.

There's no way, it's really too feminine. In my impression, only the villains, perverted muscular girls in the two-dimensional world have this kind of aesthetic. Even Kiryu Setsuna, the most gay and perverted man in Kengan, is not so exaggerated.

"…Who are you?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui tried his best to focus his attention on the purple horn on the other person's forehead.

At least by looking at the horn he could still hypnotize himself that he was just talking to a unicorn without having to catch a glimpse of the other's eye-catching and enchanting figure from the neck down.

After all... it was really explosive.

"Ah, I forgot to introduce myself."

The gay man with purple horns bowed gracefully and performed a standard aristocratic salute.

"My name is Edminas, and I'm an executive officer of the Northern Cardinal Council. I've come to the old Demon King's capital mainly to deliver a notice."

"notify?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui then recalled that the other party seemed to have mentioned some kind of notice just now.

"I remember the notice you mentioned just now seemed to be about the conflict between the current Demon King faction and the old Demon King faction..."

"Yes."

Edminas bowed again with a very good attitude.

"Currently, there is constant friction between the two factions of the Old Demon King in the North. To end this conflict as soon as possible, the Cardinals have proposed a proposal that will allow both factions to minimize the losses caused by the conflict while also determining who is more suitable to rule the North."

"But like I said, it seems that it is no longer necessary now."

"Ok?"

Huakaiyuan Fogui raised his eyebrows and signaled him to continue.

But Edminas just stood up, looked at the shattered throne in front of the hall and the figure on the throne that was no longer moving, and smiled.

"Lord Ramsas is the most powerful figure in the entire Old Demon King faction. Without Lord Ramsas's participation, I'm afraid the Old Demon King faction will undoubtedly be defeated in this decisive battle."

"And precisely because of this, once this news gets out, I'm afraid most of the old Demon King faction will immediately choose to defect. Furthermore, the attack on the Royal City is such a major event. Just now, when I entered the city from outside, I saw many civilians packing up their belongings and fleeing."

"I'm afraid the old Demon King faction will simply disband in a couple of days."

"..."

Huakaiyuan Fogui listened silently and said that he had nothing to say.

As he had said to Ramsas before, there are usually two ways to solve a problem: either solve the problem itself or solve the person who created the problem.

And now he has solved the problem, without even having to wait until the old Demon King faction announces its disbandment.

After all, the person who came up with the idea of ​​"extracting Naruse Mio's magic power" was none other than Ramsas himself. Now that Ramsas is dead, naturally no one will keep an eye on Mio anymore.

In other words, for Hanakaiin Fukui, his goal has been achieved.

"Well, I'm just a messenger. I just need to deliver the letter. As for the rest, it's none of my business."

As Edminas spoke, he walked around the crowd and came to the bottom of the throne. He gently placed the letter in his hand on the steps in front of the throne, then waved his hand and left the hall without looking back.

The graceful figure leaving was just like a social worker who would not stay a moment longer after getting off work.

"..."

"..."

It came and went quickly, and the air in the broken hall suddenly became quiet again.

Finally, it was Rias who broke the silence first.

"How about we take a look at what the letter that person just sent over said?"

“…Is it necessary to see it?”

Hua Kaiyuan said this but walked towards the stairs honestly, picked up the envelope from the ground, opened it and took out the letter.

"According to what that unicorn guy just said, this letter is nothing more than stipulating the time and place for the final battle, right? Well, let me take a look..."

So the boy read out the contents on the letter word for word.

Most of them are very similar to what Huakaiyuan Fugui guessed, except for the last sentence.

If the old Demon King faction is absent, the current Demon King faction will be directly declared victorious, and all of the old Demon King faction's territories will become the property of the current Demon King faction.

It seems... there is no problem?

This is what Huakaiyuan Fugui originally thought.

After all, the two factions are fighting for the territory of the north. Naturally, whichever side wins will get all the territory. This is normal.

As for why they specifically mentioned that the "Old Demon King Faction" was absent, it was probably because even the Cardinals believed that the Old Demon King Faction was weaker than the current Demon King Faction, and that they had almost no chance of winning in this decisive battle. Therefore, they set up this rule to prevent the Old Demon King Faction from being a cowardly lizard and not attending.

but……

"This alone is absolutely not enough!"

Just then, Maria suddenly interrupted.

? ?

The Nightmare Girl's sudden loud cry immediately attracted everyone's attention.

"Because, because..."

After a brief pause, Maria mustered up the courage to speak out her reason.

"Because if it's all the territory of the old Demon King faction, then of course it includes this royal city, right?"

"Maybe."

Huakaiyuan Fogui thought about it seriously and replied.

There is no doubt that since the letter mentioned "all territories of the old Demon King's faction", this royal city is naturally included.

"But."

Maria bit her lower lip lightly.

"This royal castle... no, this castle is actually the legacy left to Mio-sama by the previous Demon King, Wilbert. Mio-sama should be the first heir, so this is essentially Mio-sama's home. If the current Demon King's faction takes it over..."

Oh, that's a problem.

Hanakaiin Fogui immediately understood what the nightmare girl meant.

It's like the ancestral home in my hometown. Although I only live there for a few days throughout the year, even if I occasionally stay there for a few days during the holidays, I still complain about the lack of heating, slow WiFi, leaking roof and other problems.

But this doesn’t mean that you, a neighbor next door, can just tear down my ancestral home and build your own house!

It seems that I have to talk to Leohart-kun about this issue again this afternoon.

……

At the same time, in the Demon King's territory, the young Demon King, who had just finished supervising the excavation work for the morning, finally returned to the palace.

However, the moment he stepped into the hall, a golden figure stood up from the throne as he arrived, and came towards him with a sweet smile and light steps.

"Welcome back Leo-chan~"

"Sister?!"

He never expected that his sister Liara would suddenly come over at this time. Even with Leohart's mentality, he couldn't help but be surprised.

"Sister, why did you come here? Didn't the Cardinal Court notice?"

"Well, the Cardinals have been busy preparing for the showdown between the two factions of the Demon King and the Old Demon King these past few days. Basically, there aren't two living people to be seen all day, so I sneaked out to play by myself~"

“Is that so…ah.”

Leohart hesitated to speak.

"But I have a lot to do over here these two days. The excavation work is still going on, so I still have to go over there this afternoon to watch."

"It's okay, it's okay~"

Liara smiled and waved.

"Sister also knows that Leo-kun has been very busy these two days, so I won't force anything. Just think of it as looking after the house for Leo-kun in the afternoon~"

"Then...thank you, sis."

Chapter 287 Zhu Nai: I want to be big!

The scene switches back to the old Demon King's castle.

"Eh? Are we going to the Demon King's faction this afternoon?"

In the palace hall, Naruse Mio couldn't help but be surprised when she heard the news from the boy.

They just defeated the old Demon King faction and disbanded it this morning, and now they are going to go to the current Demon King faction in the afternoon. Are they planning to wipe out the current Demon King faction as well?

Can we really conquer the northern border in one day?

It turns out that Miss Heige was not talking nonsense before.

"Of course that's not the case."

The boy's voice came from above.

At this moment, Huakaiyuan Fugui was standing on the throne at the end of the hall, looking down at Ramsas who had been sent away by his kick earlier. He snapped his fingers lightly.

Golden points of light suddenly lit up from Ramsas's body and dispersed, quickly dissipating into the air along with his body like melting snow.

Then Huakaiyuan Fogui raised his hand and gestured at the huge crack that was cut open above the hall. He stretched out his fingertips and just lightly touched it. The palace, which had become a little tilted to both sides due to the broken beams, suddenly automatically gathered up and adjusted its position with a low rumbling sound. The gap disappeared and merged into one again.

After doing all this, Huakaiyuan Fugui walked down from the throne in two steps at a time, walked up to the red-haired girl and clapped his hands.

"Mio, do you remember that I once went to meet Leohart during the Zolgear incident?"

"I remember when, uh..."

Naruse Mio thought about it for a moment.

"Brother-in-law, you deliberately let Zolgear escape, and then followed him and killed him in front of the Demon King of the Demon King faction, right?"

"Well, I think that left a deep impression on the other party."

Huakaiyuan Fogui gave a thumbs up firmly.

"So I think he will definitely agree to my request without any unexpected circumstances."

"..."

I always feel that this consent contains some threat.

"That's what's going on, so let's have lunch here today..."

Huakaiyuan Fogui paused here.

He originally wanted to say that they would have lunch here today, but when he thought about it carefully, the castle seemed to give people a deserted feeling. It had been so long since the incident and he hadn't seen any guards rushing in. It seemed as if Ramsas was the only one living in such a big palace.

Are there really any so-called food reserves in a place like this?

"Don't worry, I've already confirmed this."

At this moment, Zest's voice came from the side.

Huakaiyuan Fogui turned around and looked at the sound, and saw that a certain brown-skinned demon Valkyrie had changed back into that maid outfit that was hard to tell was not for fun. She was holding various vegetables and meats in her hands, as if she had just returned from a visit to the palace.

Seeing the boy looking at her, Jester raised the various ingredients in her hand and showed them to her.

"I just took a look around the storage room. There's plenty of food in there, enough for us to consume for at least a week."

"Yeah, that's good."

"Since that's the case, let me help!"

As soon as Hanakaiin Fugui finished speaking, Naruse Mio suddenly stepped forward and took the initiative.

Huh?
