Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo Dorei Majutsu Volume 8 – CH 2.7

Part 7

Measmos’s office──

In a leather-covered chair behind a huge desk sat a self-important past middle-aged man. Around him, there were four muscular guards standing ready.

Alongside the wall, men that they recognized were standing there.

Shera pointed at them.

「It’s the people that act violently at 《Apetisan》!」

「……There’s no mistaking it.」

「Wha!? You all, you’re from before!?」

The ruffians faltered. It seemed that they did not get the treatment for the fingers yet.

Diablo ignored them and looked at the past middle-aged man that was reclined in the leather-covered chair.

「So you, are Measmos.」

「To think……that you would make it this far……」

With a mortified expression, sweat surfaced on his forehead. So he already knew that the subordinates that he could rely on were defeated.

Measmos himself was of advanced age, and neither SP nor MP could be felt from him. He wasn’t the type that had fighting strength.

──I guess I should strongly threaten him so that he’ll stop his crimes.

「Ku ku ku……Measmos, you have been doing as you please in the town I have made my base, haven’t you.」

「We will massacre you -noda!」

Krum shouted.

──Wait?

That was an announcement of murder, and not even a threat of it.

Measmos grimaced.

「Y, you guys……Who are you? Which organization were you hired by? Was it the Commerce and Industry Association? The Adventurer’s Guild? The Feudal Lord?」

Krum loudly made a declaration.

「I know not of any organization! This is revenge for disrupting our delicious meal -noda!」

「I said that I would massacre you, person of the Races!」

Measmos wasn’t given the time to resist.

Krum side swiped her right hand.

A torrent of magical power would blast away the man’s head, right before that──Shera’s shout of 「Krum-chan!」 resounded.

Having its angle slightly changed, the attack went *jyuu* and went past right over Measmos’s head.

「Gyah!?」

The past middle-aged man, became a past middle-aged bald man.

His head remained, but the hair at the top of his head was completely gone. Behind him──the back of the chair and even the furnishing and the stone wall behind that had vanished.

As if she had torn a painting, the things that were at the end of Krum’s right hand completely vanished.

Diablo was astonished in his mind.

──What incredible speed! An attack I’ve never seen! Was it chantless magic? Or was it an attribute attack?

The awakened state Krebskrum had a way of fighting that was like a child throwing a tantrum. She fired high-powered attacks in rapid succession, but her movements were crude.

Without a doubt, the current Krum was stronger.

If he were to end up fighting her, some sort of strategy would surely be needed──that is what he thought. She was just that strong.

Since the wall made of stone was simply stones piled up, once a hole was opened up, the top came falling down. A loud sound was made, and the wall collapsed.

And then, since this building was a structure where the roof was supported not by pillars but by the walls, the ceiling came down. Normally, they should have been running outside.

However, due to Krum’s intimidating air, Measmos was frozen up like a frog being glared at by a snake.

Even the guards, having been shown overwhelming strength right before their eyes, they couldn’t do anything.

The men that stood alongside the wall became unable to stand.

Rem and Shera gulped and watched attentively.

Even Diablo.

「Measmos, I will not allow you to leave this town!」

The one who raised a loud voice saying 「What did you say!?」 was Krum.

Shera asked him about it.

「Why would you say that, Diablo!?」

「Hmph……To not even understand that, how deplorable.」

──Since I just randomly said that, I don’t get it either though!

However, Rem nodded with understanding eyes.

「……So that is how it is. As expected of you, Diablo. I am always surprised by your discernment.」

「It would seem that you understand.」
