Reincarnation Monarch

Well, let's get to Delkia's mansion. "

Coppin prompted Gaius in a very no-line way.

Then Gaius responded with a shuddering face.

"Dude, did you mean what you just said? I'm telling you, I didn't come to hell for a thousand bucks, did I?

"I know that. You want to go to Master Astarot, don't you?

"What the hell. You know what I mean. Astarot's at the bottom of hell, isn't he? I don't know how many layers of hell there are... hey, how many layers there are?

Eight layers.

Gaius looked a little fed up when Coppin answered without getting her hair in between.

"Do you have eight layers... If so, you can't hang around at the top. We need to head down to the lower tier immediately."

"That's why you're not going to Delkia."

"... what do you mean?

"You know, there's no staircase down there, right? 'Cause the gods might attack again. That's why the stairs leading downstairs are inside the mansions of the Lords on every level. Each layer is ruled by four Lords, but Delkia rules the area around the top. I'm telling you, let's go to Delkia."

Gaius made a slightly more difficult look at Coppin's commentary.

"... that I must meet one of the four Lords of each level..."

"That sort of thing. That means you have to meet at least seven lords to get to the bottom. Oh, yeah, I'll tell you what, just because you're ruling the upper layers doesn't mean each lord is a junior demon. Everyone, including Delkia, is a superior demon, and that's the twenty-eight superior superior demons that are considered to be closest to the finest."

"You're a high-ranking, high-ranking demon... well, I guess so. Just because you're on the upper floor doesn't mean you're going to let the lower demons cure you."

"That's the thing. Well, Pekopeko, keep your head down and let me show you down the stairs, or you can fight and die, or you can do whatever you want."

"Um, come on, when you fight, you say it's like an instant death, but how about you decide that?

"Oh, don't you have a busy mouth? You think you can fight Delkia and win?

"You don't know unless you try, do you?

"I know you don't have to do that. There's no way a human can fight a high-ranking, high-ranking demon and win."

"I thought you said that, didn't I? I'm a reincarnator."

"Hmm! I just heard that. He's been reborn many times, hasn't he? So what? How many times have I been reborn and I'm not an intruder? Not really, but Delkia doesn't have enemies."

"Um, come on, I'm telling you, I've been drawn to the finest demon, Grasha-Laboras, before?

Gaius had previously fought Glasha-Laboras in the underground waterway of Tabe, the old capital of the Kingdom of Dallas, but in fact he managed to repel Karla, the archmage mentor, and not by himself, but Gaius, who dared not mention it to Coppin.

"Huh. But isn't that on the ground? Then it's not an entity, so it's not even a tenth of its real strength, is it?

"... I hear you are..."

"Fair enough. As I said earlier, it's either good for me if you live or die ♡ So let's just go, shall we?

When Coppin said that, he left Gaius and just left.

Though Gaius, who was left behind, stood still on the spot, realizing that he was not clear, and was lonely enough to follow him after Shizukusa and Coppin.
