41 Consequences

"I-I-I… can't eat anymore…"

"…"

What happens to her image?

She initially looks like a noble young lady with the only difference between her horns and the huge pair of wings. Not to forget the long tail that currently gathers food secretly to store inside her storage bag.

She could try, but I doubt the food would retain as what I know this is an illusion room. Hmm, I should try next time, who knows it may stays. She doesn't look like a noble lady anymore. Her stomach appears to be bulging out from her skimpy clothes that could anytime be torn.

She is like those uncles that are seating at the hawker center, putting their legs on top of the chair that they are seating on. Her wings are swaying left and right, probably to show that she is feeling very happy and satisfied. I didn't want to be the one to break the news that the food in her stomach would disappear upon going out from this room.

Oh well, it's not like anything bad would happen anyway.

"By the way, it's not my business, but I can't help but be curious."

"Hmm? Say it."

"Before you started eating you were telling yourself that you would only taste a bit as you would need to be somewhere. Oh yeah, what happened to my request to stop the invasion? I still hear people shouting here and there."

"…!!"

"Hmm? Did you remember? Come on tell me."

"I-I got to go."

"Seems urgent? Wait a moment while I clean this place."

She looks anxious. This is the first time seeing her expression. Did I do something bad by giving her such delicacy that made her forget something important?

"Eh? The door is open… Raul are you down below!?"

A-Amanda!? Such weird timing. How is still a demon going to escape?

"Should I kill her? Human?"

"A-Amanda, I'm here!"

"Ohhhkay never mind, no need to come out. I go down instead."

"…"

"Tch… I have no mood to kill a human after eating those delicious delicacies."

"Then… You should at least hide?"

"What for?"

"The one that is coming is the one that you kept calling the evil witch."

"…!! R-Really?"

"Your best bet is to either run or hide, so which would it be?"

"Is there any alternative exit?"

"Never mind I take that back, you can only hide."

"…"

"Not sure if she could find you out as this is her secret hideout after all."

"Gehh… W-Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I did mention, well during the moments where you were happily devouring all of the food non-stop. Not sure why you were trying to finish it even after I told you that you could come by anytime…"

"Y-You did…?"

"Hmm? Raul, did a demon pass my magic circle and manage to sneak in inside?"

"…" x2

"C-Come please tell me that there's another way out."

"… Are you scared?"

"Huh? What rubbish are you spouting human!"

"Raul, who's that voice?"

"Ohhh she is the de….Muumuu"

I was forcefully stopped after the succubus blocks my mouth from opening. O-Oi, I understand why you are closing my mouth, but do you have to block my nose too!? S-Shit I am feeling light headed. Wish this demon would go back to where she was currently from.

"..!"

Breathing heavily*

S-She disappeared…

I forgot that I could have done that. Now in addition to bringing someone in here, I could forcefully transfer someone out too? That is remarkable! Damn, I am a god here! I got to let Amanda create one in the orphanage building.

"Raul? Did you have your supper here?"

"Supper? What are you talking about? Isn't only afternoon or it should only be a few hours."

"Ah! I-I forgot that time pass through here a little bit faster."

"…Why the hell did you create such things!!"

"Fufufu, so that I could get more presents much faster."

"…"

Is she still a kid after all? What kind of a kid that would create magic that makes time faster just to get to her next birthday party? The more I know about this family, the weirder it gets. Their personality doesn't match well with their…wait I haven't know much about the king and queen. Who knows it may be much worse than their children.

~ Back to Sara perspective

I am not scared, yeah not scared at all! S-So why am I closing his mouth? I want to have a surprise element that's all. Yeah!

EEhhh? W-What happening to my body?

"Cough*, cough*. W-Where am I?"

Hmm? The forest? I recognize this place. It's near where our camp is. Though I didn't think it's already this late. L-Late!?

The sound of a horn being sounded twice which followed up by someone yelling and screaming.

"Isn't that the voice of that general that Gram fought?"

"RETREAT!!"

The voice kept yelling the word repeatedly. Sara didn't think much initially. She was approaching the sounds as she was curious about what is happening. It wasn't until she saw the huge pile of dead human bodies, she felt something strike her.

The voice of the man in the memories of Weno and the one that she met said almost the same thing.

"… Relay to the rest to stop the invasion." + "Oh yeah, what happened to my request to stop the invasion? I still hear people shouting here and there."

"… D-DAMNNNIT!"

"OHH SARA! You're late! We could have annihilated those humans for good. Now that most of the soldiers are injured and tired we could assign a few amounts of those lowly demons inside and give a night attack."

"No… It wasn't to happen like this… Did you order them to attack?"

"Nope, I wish! We could have been inside the castle wall if not for your order to stay in the formation."

"You are telling me, the humans attack on their own?"

"HAHAHA OF COURSE! HEY DID YOUMEET UP WITH ARIA? I FELT A FAMILIAR POWER COMING FROM YOUR SIDE."

"That wasn't Aria… I don't think hers' is that powerful."

"You don't mean."

"I-I possibly met the demon king."

"DEMON KING! REALLY? WHAT'S UP WITH POSSIBLY?"

"Anyway, it's a problem, he ordered us to retreat."

Gram shrugs his shoulder upon hearing the problem.

"It's not my problem. You were the one that came too late."

"Sigh* Then f*ck off, go find something to play with, I won't help you anymore."

"…"

Gram didn't reply and slowly walked away from Sara. Sara on the other hand quickly gives an order to retreat. Who knows when did such information was spread around that they weren't supposed to attack and killed the humans.

The lowly was confused at first, but after some time they started shivering and fearing for their lives. It was Weno, the one that spilled the beans. She doesn't know whether to call it fortunate or unfortunate as the retreat took ten times faster than reaching the kingdom itself.

There was even news that one of the few demons had caught a slave and a mercenary along the way but Sara quickly dispatches a messenger to release those humans. It might be a friend of the demon king. Somehow or another she was looking at the perspective of the man.

The man that she still isn't sure whether he is a demon king or not. There are various ways to tell that he is one. First is the monstrous aura that could lead the demon to victory, but the second condition strictly gave her second thoughts.

A century after centuries, all the demon kings that she served till now had physical and magical resistance. It is the first time she encounters such a unique kind of demon king. In which the pros were that she was able to …

Eat delicious food?

Now that she mentions food, why does she feel very hungry? Didn't she just eat not too long ago? Taking a good look at her storage bag that she stole by killing off one of the merchants previously.

"N-No, this can't be happening!! I-Is this his punishment for now listening to his order?

NOOOOO!!!!"

That night all the lowly demons couldn't sleep as they were terrified by the voice of their commander that appears to be suffering. The whole lot of them thought that the demon king had given their commander physical torture. There were even betrayers that try to run away, they either died in Gram hands or were thrown in the human kingdom.

Despite all the happenings, the monsters were left alone. They were unintelligent thus not knowing that someone was going to kill them real soon just because of food. Which brings another misunderstanding from the lowly demons, thinking that there were orders from the demon king to annihilate those that took part in the attack.

From having high morale being able to win the attack against the human but the next, their morale was dangerously low. There were even few that couldn't handle the pressure and killed themselves. Unknowingly that the naïve demon king won't even do anything to them.

Correction, he does not have any power to do so.
