Protect what needs to be protected to the end and never break the promise.

So strong, his appearance was so strong that it emitted a blinding glow.

"So I will always save you."

——To the point where the other person is willing to live for you.

Here it comes again—he thought.

The mother's words overflowed from the depths of her heart.

Although he was an infuriating guy, his appearance overlapped with his mother's stern posture.

"Bandu. That's enough. Stop being so defensive and let me save you."

He was speechless. Although his heart was filled with emotions that were about to burst, he didn't know what to say.

Instead──

“…You really took it lightly.”

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Oscar heard a scream from behind him. He turned around and saw that the source of the scream was Resichina, who was gradually being enveloped by ice.

This is Bandu's highest level ice magic, "Ice Prison."

The characteristics inherited from the Ice Dragon Man gave him an unparalleled adaptability to ice magic. Therefore, even if it was an opposing attribute, the weakened Red Heat could not withstand Bandu's magic.

Finally, the red heat was lifted, and the ice seal covering the naked Resichina was completed.

This can be considered a scene of beauty in ice.

Oscar turned his gaze back.

"That's a pretty good hobby, huh?"

"Your sarcasm is completely unoriginal, you idiot with glasses."

Oscar shrugged and sat down next to Bandu.

They both leaned against the wall and sighed.

Oscar opened his black umbrella with a snap and activated the eleventh form of "Holy Light".

The healing light became a waterfall, falling on the two of them.

"Hey, what kind of torture is this about sharing an umbrella with a man? Look, I'm getting goosebumps."

"I don't want to, but considering efficiency, there's nothing I can do. Really, if you want to be so willful, you should stop."

"You're only slightly injured."

"I thought you'd become weak, but you're still quite capable of barking. Looks like you won't need recovery magic."

"Tsk. Hey, my shoulder's showing. Lean a little further."

"It's 'Please, Mr. Oscar', right?"

"what?"

"Oh?"

Even though the two of them were in perfect harmony, gleaming in the healing light, they glared at each other with such ferocious eyes that would make even a mafia member turn pale.

After a while, realizing that this action was meaningless, they both smacked their lips and turned away.

"...Are my compatriots alright?"

"I'm going with the others from the Raison branch to rescue your companions. They'll be taking a flying dragon to safety."

“Those guys…”

"Of course I will. Remember to apologize to them when you get back. They knelt down and kowtowed, begging us to save you."

“…I see.”

Bang, bang, bang—the noise from the floors above grew increasingly intense.

It seems that the fight is also going on fiercely.

Bandu looked up at the scattered dust falling from the ceiling and said:

"Rather than being—"

"Um?"

"Leaving like a coward and a fool is worse than dying."

"……Then what?"

"I will fight, but not for the world. I have no interest in the changes Meredith speaks of. What's unreasonable is still unreasonable, no matter what world it is."

Bandu finally looked at Oscar, who had been listening silently, and expressed his will aloud like a declaration.

"But, I'll fight anything for you. Give me joy."

"...Hmph, please try not to hold us back."

Whatever you say—Bandhu closed his eyes.

Oscar also closed his eyes and concentrated on replying.

The corners of their mouths raised in the same arc.

Let’s go back a little in time.

Some time after Ra'l returned from the dungeon, he came to the throne room.

The purpose was work, and he was responding to the wishes of particularly powerful people among the people for an audience.

Generally speaking, people perceive Rasl as a king who rules the world. They believe that it was Rasl who changed the previous Demon King's war-first policy to focus on domestic affairs.

It is the people's long-cherished wish to eliminate other races and bring prosperity to the demons.

While the demons only make up about 60% of the human population, every citizen is capable of becoming an excellent mage warrior, and if something were to happen, the entire nation could be mobilized for battle. This meant that those who weren't professional soldiers would have to suspend their profession. While there would be compensation, it wouldn't change the difficult decision.

Of course, as long as it is the order of His Majesty the Demon King, they will not hesitate to sacrifice not only their lives but also their lives, but these two things cannot be confused.

Rasul led people to prosperity, and many people revered him in a different way than before. His willingness to meet people was unprecedented, and this was one of the factors driving the people's worship of Rasul.

(In other words, I want to go to war because I have to. Forcing a peace-loving demon king to participate in a war, how barbaric and cruel would other countries be... I'm just kidding.)

Looking at the fat rich businessman kneeling on the ground and praying, Laser was thinking about this.

The previous Demon King's "Domineering" was also very good.

However, following the same path is too boring. So, I will practice "justice" myself. Become the "Hero King of Demons" who guides and protects the tragic race that laments the cruelty of other races, and defeats the enemy.

(The main direction is in accordance with your instructions. I wonder if you like my impromptu performance?)

Lasser looked up at the sky, a dazed look on his face.

At the same time, he also felt as if there was some noise passing through.

(Hmm? Is this an illusion?)

For some reason, he was particularly concerned with the spot where his hair had once been braided. After returning from the dungeon, the maid saw her master's scattered hair and screamed in pain, and this novel incident ended with the maid quickly fixing the spot.

──Brother, why do you still have your hair in braids?

(…Hmm, never mind.)

A confused voice called out to Rasl, who casually pushed his hair aside and muttered to himself.

"Your Majesty? Did I say anything to displease you?"

The wealthy businessman looked at Lasser's face with cold sweat. Prime Minister Karlm and the two generals who served as guards - Angol and Elgar also looked at him with surprise.

It seems that he was distracted too much - Laser smiled bitterly.

Then, just when he wanted to say it was nothing...

"I'm so sorry to interrupt you during an audience!"

"What is it!"

The soldier rushed in with a horrified expression. Facing Elgar's question, the soldier shouted:

"The dungeon is sensing something! It's an attack—"

It was an attack—that's what he wanted to say, but at this moment, a voice interrupted him from the sky.

──Small~Dense~~~~~~~

Just as everyone was confused like "Huh?", "Hmm?", "What is this?", the next moment──

“Impress────────!”

The ceiling between the thrones collapsed with a loud bang.

"His Majesty!"

Elgar and Angor rushed in front of Rasl, and debris flew in unnatural trajectories. The two generals skillfully knocked the debris back, and at the same time, a sound like a squelching frog was heard.

The billowing smoke and dust were blown away by the wind blowing through the room.

Then, a young girl appeared.

"Super genius beautiful girl magician!"

She holds her hands horizontally by her eyes, making a scissors gesture. Don't forget to wink! And one foot should be slightly bent at a cute angle!

"Miledy Lessen, s-s-s!"

Perfect Meredith pose!

It also had a meaningless, shining backlight, as if it were deliberately created using light-attribute magic.

"Asshole, you rude bastard!"

Chancellor Kalm roared in anger after being thrown to the ground by the impact. He wasn't referring to the wealthy businessman who had shrunk into a ball and rolled his eyes because of Meredith's pose; he was definitely referring to Meredith's unconditional destruction of the sacred space between the throne rooms and the rubble he had thrown at Rasl.

Mel and Natsu landed beside Meredith and whispered something to her.

(Sorry, Xiaomi. I can’t grab it.)

(Me too. As expected, I can't use spatial interference on the Demon King himself.)

In fact, they took advantage of the flying rubble to use water whips and portals to snatch the artifact of gravity and space magic from Ra'sl, but they were easily bounced away.

(Well, that can't be helped. Anyway, I just want to say that as long as I can do it, it's fine.)

After she responded softly, there was a burst of applause from the audience.

"Oh my, that's wonderful. As expected of the Princess of Raisen, what a spectacular appearance."

"Eh? You fell in love with me because I'm so cute? Oh, you're such an honest person! But I'm sorry! I can't accept you physically, so just give up! Gah────!"

Lasser's smile crumbled a little.

Then, Angor turned his gaze to Elgar. His eyes spoke louder than words, expressing his suspicion that she was a fake. "Is that really Lassen? That Lassen?"

"Hmm~ This is the first time I see that lady over there. Is she the one who replaced Oscar Orcus?"

"My lovely sister has been taken care of by you, and I'm here to settle the score."

Mei'er gave a soft smile, but there was no smile in the depths of her eyes. Instead, the flames of anger and sadism burned fiercely.

"It's terrifying. Because it's so terrifying, I have no choice but to defeat the brutal attackers for my country."

The area behind Lasser suddenly twisted dramatically, and two men in black appeared, their invisibility revealed.

At the same time, Rasl's ring glowed. It was the artifact that weakened Meredi.

"Uh-huh!"

"Okay, okay, I'll help you heal~"

The morning light immediately shone on Meredith, who was suffering from severe exhaustion.

"Xiao Mi is resurrected!"

"I see. So, the report mentioned that you have someone who can use regeneration magic."

"Hey, that trick is useless now! I still have this."

What Meredy took out was a necklace with a ring hanging on it that was different from the one in the treasure house.
