175 – Pandemonium – 1
Two days before leaving for the Demon World.
I went to see Marvas in case Rosé would be away.
“You’re going to the demon realm? All of a sudden?”
When I first told him that I was going to the Demon World, I was very surprised.
But soon after remembering that I had reached 5 stars, Marvas nodded.
“Certainly, even though our demons’ concept of time is very late, you are too late. Do you stop by and do the Underground Construction of the Demon World while you have reached 5 stars?”
“I guess so. More than anything… … It’s been a long time since I’ve been gone.”
“Your subordinates will like it too. It’s a bit like saying this, but… … Your subordinates are a bit fanatical.”
It wasn’t that I couldn’t agree with what he said.
In fact, I could tell at a glance how they treated me just by looking at Sylvie and Hercules.
“Then, how long are you planning to be in the demon realm?”
“hmm… … . I haven’t decided on that, but I’ve separately told Rose to summon me if something big happens.”
“ah. Certainly a 5-star can answer the summoner’s call. Well, if you are now, you should be able to open at least one or two portals a month from the demon realm.”
As he said, I can only come and go once or twice a month.
It was because a huge amount of mana was consumed to create and move the portal.
In fact, in the past, Paimon used a considerable amount of Prism Stones and Mana Stones to send me, who was only 1 star, to the Demon Realm.
No matter how much country he said, he couldn’t come and go often.
“Then, in the meantime, let’s ask Rosé.”
“Well, it’s only going to be at the academy, so I wonder what will happen. Ha ha ha ha ha!”
Due to a series of recent incidents, the academy’s security has reached its peak.
As he said, it didn’t seem like there was anything to worry about.
“What about departure?”
“Sand tomorrow.”
“hmm. Are you still not leaving soon?”
“Before that, I have to tell the other children or the vice-president that I will be away.”
“… … what. That side must be certain. Then, be careful. By the way, if you have something to stop by my estate, say hello to the children.”
“Is there anything I can do to go over there…?” … If you come by, do so.”
After saying hello to Marvas, walking around the academy and telling people I had a relationship with at least that I was going to be away for a while, the two days passed by quickly.
It’s been a long time since I’ve had to be away from Rosé for a long time, so I’m very nervous.
“Gregory. As you said, the coordinates are set near the Demon World Underground Construction. Is it really okay to go alone?”
Paimon, who came directly to the academy to help me, who was still inexperienced in portal control to the demon world, asked me while playing with his fingers.
“Suffice. If it’s nearby, you’ll be there in no time just by flying.”
“Well, if it’s you, that’s enough… … . Roger. How about saying goodbye?”
At Paimon’s question, Rosé shakes her face while lowering her head.
“It’s not goodbye, so it’s okay! Because we will meet again… … !”
Looking at her shaking head, it felt like a corner of my heart was hurting for no reason.
However, this trip is me and Rosé. What is absolutely necessary for the growth of both people.
That’s why I shouldn’t be weak-minded about this.
“Don’t skip meals, smoke moderately, and don’t bully your friends.”
“Do you think I am a child?”
… … Maybe everyone except me treats me like a child.
I thought I would get angry if I told her face to face, so I decided to stay still.
“Then, let’s go, Rosé.”
“… … Bye. Gregory.”
“See you later. Gregory.”
A trait that Paimon was controlling. After returning the control of [Demon World Movement], I waved my hand as if tearing up the space.
At the same time, a purple space unfolds before your eyes.
If I look back here, I think my heart will be weaker, so I head inside without saying anything.
Pass Susseu—
The scenery around me changes in an instant, and the passageway I entered disappears.
Really, really came to the demon realm.
“Maybe this was the second time.”
The first time was when I went to retrieve the Mana Stones, Prism Stones, and Jewels from the Underworld Underground Corporation.
Fortunately, the memory of that time made me very familiar with the behavior even in the unfamiliar space of the demon world.
“transform.”
After transforming into wheel form for fast flight, it spreads its wings and soars into the sky.
Perhaps it was the effect of the antennae, the location of the Underground Construction Project was drawn in my head.
“Would 10 minutes be enough?”
It is possible because the movement speed has also increased after reaching 5 stars.
Feeling the surrounding landscape distorted, I flapped my wings diligently, so I could see the entrance to the Demon World Underground Construction in an instant.
Kung── Kung── Kung── Kung── Kung── Kung── Kung──
Even though they haven’t landed on the ground yet, the sound of shaking the ground reverberates and the gates of the Underworld Construction begin to slowly open.
At the same time, numerous beetle corps begin to come out in line with Oh through there. And at the forefront stood Arachne with a very familiar face.
Sylvie Eligos.
Make sure to read from noble mtl dot com
Gregory Jones’ loyal right-hand man and representative of the territory.
thud.
After confirming that the review was over, I stepped onto the ground, and Sylvie, who was standing firm, knelt down and bowed her head.
“The rightful owner of the underworld construction. I sincerely congratulate Gregory Jones on entering the palace.”
“””I sincerely appreciate the reduction!!!”””
From the beginning, he hid his face in the loud welcome greeting and slowly raised his hand to stop talking.
“Sylvie Eligos.”
“yes. Lord.”
“It was a lot of trouble.”
Took. After patting her on the shoulder, he slowly steps towards the path made by the soldiers.
Finally, I succeeded in entering my territory while meeting the minimum requirements.

“… … therefore. Is this all I have to do now?”
“That’s right.”
On the way to my study and office, I was looking for materials I had written in the past. Sylvie came with a pile of papers in both hands. Knock! Books that were so heavy that they made a noise were placed on the desk.
“… … Did you say it was something you couldn’t handle under your authority?”
“yes.”
Just looking at the paper, it looks like it’s at least a few decades old. Even if you haven’t taken care of it in the meantime, if it’s not a big deal, wouldn’t it be necessary to do it? I thought, but… … .
‘Because the concept of time between demons and humans is different.’
I didn’t do it for nothing, but I didn’t know what the results would come later, so I decided to stop the search for a while and look at the documents.
after a while
“Sylvie.”
“yes. Gregory.”
“Burn them all.”
“I will do as you command.”
After confirming the contents of most of the documents, I grabbed my forehead and ordered the pile of documents to be disposed of.
No, how could most of the papers be Baal’s gauntlets?
The seal of Baal’s territory written on the papers was enough to make me nervous.
Just ‘seal’.
[Let’s open Gregory]
[Are you Gregory?]
[Gregory. Are you dead?]
[Your estate is quiet, right? Didn’t he die?]
Such as. In fact, most of the letters felt like messengers.
Apparently, the sender was the sender, so it seemed that the actual expenses could not be handled carelessly.
Even if I was the same demon king, I couldn’t handle Baal’s letter to me at will.
“When was the last time you came?”
“yes. It was 20 years ago.”
“20 years… … .”
Then the next few years will be quiet.
While slowly watching Sylvie burn the papers with magic, I came across a fact and decided to ask Sylvie.
“Come to think of it, it looks like my study is empty. Do you know anything?”
“Are you referring to Mr. Gregory’s books?”
Sylvie looks up at my question and starts to think of something.
“The last time I came here was before Gregory-sama left for a trip… … Even then, the library was full of books.”
“okay?”
Does that mean I’ve been traveling and selling or hiding books here and there?
“… … It’s complicated. i get it. Let’s go out for now.”
“yes. then.”
Sylvie nodded and left the seat.
I watched it silently, and after confirming that the door was closed, I pushed back the chair and sighed.
“… … After all, it’s not long since you came to the territory, but you have to leave.”
Of course, you can say it’s fortunate that you can go on a trip with the goods in the castle, but… … Even so, just walking around was an act that caused fatigue.
At least I wouldn’t be bored if someone was with me… … .
I was blankly thinking about that.
Kiyiyiying————!!!
“huh?”
Suddenly, a portal began to appear in front of me.
A little bit of space. Soon, something bright yellow pops out of the gap.
“Ugh! Ugh! Ayeee!!!”
A living creature, struggling hard to get stuck in the middle, squeezes through the space.
The creature with a jet-black top of the head with bright yellow blonde hair is a mulberry in no time! After coming out of the portal completely with a sound, I looked around and our eyes met.
“uh? Mr. Gregory!!!”
“… … Rosé?”
why is he here?
Let’s stare blankly at her with that thought in mind. ‘Oops!’ She was startled and said, “Kheheheum!” After clearing his voice, he picked up something and showed it to me.
“Voila!”
A small card in her hand.
“Confirmation of summoning envoy… … ?”
If it’s a summoner, you can definitely go to the academy to find a new summoner… … .
“You, please… … ?!”
“lol! We’re together in the demon realm!”
… … Really.
I thought I couldn’t stop him even though he was my summoner.
