Part 2

The large room of the inn──

It was a dreary room that only had a large bed meant for three at the center.

Diablo was feeling like he wanted to sleep right away.

He hadn’t used up that much magic, but it was certain that he had consumed MP. Since the scene of having tension coerced on him continued, his nerves were tired.

However, he couldn’t just go directly to bed.

Rem asked a question.

「……Krem, where do you want to sleep?」

Shera tilted her head looking that what Rem asked was strange.

「Isn’t right here just fine?」

*Bafu bafu* She patted the bed.

It was a plain bed that was just straw with a sheet placed on it, but its size was sufficient.

Four adults would be difficult, but if it’s three people and one child, they should be able to manage.

Rem turned her gaze towards Krem.

「……A Demon King on the bed of a room like this? Ah, no……Diablo is also a Demon King though.」

Hearing those words, Krem looked up at his way.

「Hou, so you also sleep here.」

──It’s because I don’t have money.

He couldn’t reply to her with something like that.

Diablo scornfully laughed.

「If you sleep in an important looking place, you’re important……I am not a fool that would make such a misunderstanding. The royalty and titled nobility of the Races spend their money on their dwellings and furniture. That truly is foolish.」

「That’s true!」

「Fufu, isn’t it.」

「The bed doesn’t matter! Bring me biscuits -noda!」

I would really like it if you don’t put those on the same level, is what he thought.

At any rate, it ended without being laughed at for being an Adventurer in poverty.

Alicia nodded as if she were in admiration.

「Certainly, I believe that having a person’s worth denoted by the splendidness of their personal appearance or of their residence is a foolish assumption. As expected of Diablo-sama……You are able to see the true nature of things.」

「U, umu.」

She interpreted that way too seriously.

*Koten* Shera collapsed onto the bed.

「Same here～, I prefer this over a gorgeous bed. Since everyone is nearby, it feels warmer.」

「……If you don’t mind us being with you……then I don’t mind.」

「Fuuuuu……」

After Diablo put down the 《Staff of Tenma》 and took off his mantle, 《The Curtain of Dark Clouds》, he lied down on the bed.

Maybe because his energy left him, his whole body was heavy.

Shera came over, taking a peek at his face.

「Are you alright?」

「Yeah, though I did consume some MP……」

If it is at this degree, it would probably be enough if he got one night’s sleep.

The times where he repulsed 100 Demonic Beings and where he fought with the Elven Army were different.

Ourou was a formidable enemy, but they only had a single bout. The portion of magical power that he poured to Krebskrem was already recovered when he used a potion.

Krem also got up onto the bed. Since she had already taken off Alicia’s mantle, she had the same appearance she had when first appeared.

「Did something happen to this fellow?」

Shera explained.

*Guden* She hung over him.

The torrent of magical power also came to an end.

As if what had just happened were a lie, Diablo felt that his body had become lighter.

With not only Krem but Shera on him as well, they were deeply asleep as if they had fainted but……It were as if he couldn’t feel their weight.

His MP had made a complete recovery, and the fatigue of his body also vanished.

On the contrary, his senses were sharpened, and strength was swelling up in his limbs. It were as if he had drunk some strange medicine.

By some chance, wouldn’t this be how Demonic Beings that had magical power bestowed upon them from the Demon King would feel?

──Is it because I am a Demon?

The Demonic Being blood that was faintly mixed into him, might have reacted to the Demon King’s magical power.
