91 Cute!!
~
A huge crowd in front of me is either suffering or has just fainted. It is all due to the fact that I accidentally leak too much of my magic power as I was unable to control my temper. It all started when I reveal myself as their demon king and of course, these demons were unable to accept the truth.
They started jeering and booing despite knowing full well that I am more stronger, ah well not exactly stronger than them in strength but my aura. Anyway, there are those arrogant once that tried to climb the wall in order to attack me but after being approached by the glare of each of the eighth great demon they simply pretend that they have forgotten something and quickly turn their back.
Things aren't getting any easier as there are some demons that cleverly stood at the back while causing trouble. They indirectly provoke those strong demons that are in front to bring down the current demon king.
It didn't matter much to me, it is expected for them to be this way. The only thing that totally blew off my mind would be that they tried to ambush my other two wives, Emelia, and Amanda that is trying to save them by building the illusion room.
Kahegu, the centaur immediately gave us a signal, indicating that a group of demons has started to move and is currently engaging with Kahegu personal army. Upon receiving the news that my wives are in danger, I can't help but accidentally lost control of my power and with that, we come to the present.
"Master…"
"Y-Yes coming, let me absorb back my aura so that any innocents would not get caught."
After I manage to retract as much magic power as possible, I followed up with Aria which I totally forgot that I am the slowest person in this kingdom right now. I can't even run properly with this huge-ass armor.
"Highness…. Ma'am has already gone."
"I...I know. I am entrusting her in protecting the rest of our ally."
Why did Aria subordinate be here? Damn, I felt so embarrassed right now. Well at least she could protect me if something goes awery wrong.
By the time I reach the room, the fight has ended. The illusion room has also been completed. Emelia turns towards me and without hesitation.
"What are you waiting for? Let's use this illusion room as an escape route."
"But..."
"I don't think they need our help master."
"But this is kind of your spawn point if the demon kingdom falls you guys wouldn't be able to reborn anymore."
"I don't mind Master, the other 7th demon will be handling that. Now, it's time to go."
"Dear, she is right. I know it is unfortunate that you do not have the charisma and the speech to calm them down… Eh? Are you alright dear?"
"...A-Amanda, you're purposely doing this aren't you."
"Fufufu…. "
"Oh well, I guess you're right, what am I to calm them down. I don't even think I am the person suitable to lead the demon kingdom anyway. I rather make sure that my people are saved.
Kahegu, pass this seven bracelet to all of the great demons. It is a way for you to get inside the illusion room without being branded as an intruder. Well hopefully you guys protect this room as best as you can be as without it we wouldn't be able to help you out in a state of emergency."
"See you guys later! Come on love!"
Emelia waves her hand while Amanda gave a slight bow before the two of them stepped inside the illusion room. They must have been tired….
"Master, I believe you are having a misunderstanding."
".... What kind of misunderstanding are you telling me?"
"Those demons, they got defeated seemingly easy. Those two didn't even need to do anything and just right when the battle is over, Emelia and Amanda came out from the illusion room."
"....Sigh* Most important things are everyone is safe. Now let's go somewhere that is far more interesting than this place."
"Yes, master."
Aria seemingly told the rest of the demon within the room to relay to them that they do not need to follow us anymore. I didn't intend to continue to stay around, after telling Aria that I'll be going first I got inside the illusion room.

"My love, you are finally here. Quick build us a bath and a buffet house, I am quite interested in eating the dessert."
"Even though the food that you eat will disappear upon going out from this illusion room?"
"Of course!"
"Emelia is patient, dear, do combine this illusion room with the ones outside the demon kingdom. Just for precaution who knows if any of the human heroes decided to barge in within the demon kingdom."
"Noted..."
"Aww..."
Emelia pout and in response sat down on the clear ground. As it is a newly build illusion room. There aren't any buildings or things inside thus everything is a new fresh start. Before I connect the illusion room together, I quickly check each of the interior to see if there's any intruder within the other illusion room. I am surprised to see a bunch of monsters curiously stumbled upon the room but unfortunate for them I already have created various defense mechanism to overcome the intruder.
This is the reason why I gave the great demon a bracelet each. As I could create anything I want within the room, my images tend to go wild hence the defensive approach is too overpowered that I believe I could even injure the heroes if they decided to betray on me.
All of the monsters have been slain, before that, I clear all of them out. After that, I proceed to force all of us towards the other illusion room rather than walking towards another illusion room. It would take too much time and its better this way. I will be able to see who is trying to get inside the illusion room from this side and could even communicate and transfer resources aka food for the demon kingdom.
It is expected of the demons to be able to handle themselves well as seventy percent of the time, the demons are able to live with just magic power alone. They do not need many resources thus they weren't affected much of the terrible things that had happened in other kingdoms.
Only the personal army from each great demon have the access to the information so that the other demons do not want any stupid mistake that would get themselves an attention. No matter what I think I might have made their situation worse by appearing in front of these demons and confessing to myself that I am their demon king.
I suppose Aria and the others know what I did could make things much worse but still stood by with me and wait till the result has been shown. Sigh* I am still a naive person huh. What the hell am I thinking, why should they listen to the confession by your very own enemy. This is what happens when you do not think things over.
I am just running away from my problems…
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Oh.. Aria."
"What? A problem with me, master?"
"Eh? N-no, what are you saying? I'm just thinking about the things that I had done and how much I f*ck things up."
"Well, it's not exactly your fault master. It is partly our fault for not telling the rest of the demons about the real truth. Thus none of them would believe it now as several decades have passed since the first demon king and the various summoned heroes appear in this world."
"From what I've seen, you don't seem to have any bad relationship with any of the great demon as well as the elders. I even saw that they immediately pay respect to you."
"..."
"Sorry, just ignore my question if you don't think you are not comfortable in answering it."
"Kill…."
"Hmm?"
"I killed too many. No matter humans or demons, guilty or innocent. No matter how much they cried, beg for mercy and even those tiny children that I seem to baffle to myself. How do I have the courage to kill them, with my own bare hands."
"But isn't that the order you receive from the demon king?"
"....No matter, it is I that kill them. You have said something about every situation you are in there will be choices that you could make either destroying the flag or approaching the event."
Ermm… I think that is the part where I was playing a visual novel game and Aria suddenly approach me. Well, I shouldn't disturb her as the atmosphere is perfect for this kind of discussion.
"Aria, you are still you. If you were to avoid his commands, you won't be here Aria. He might have even kill you at that moment. Hence, the choice you had picked in the past, I believe is the correct one. As you are currently my dear wife… I wouldn't want you to ever feel this way again. If you had told me this all along, I think I would have just told Amanda to create the illusion room outside the demon kingdom to avoid all this fuss. Ah….."
"Sob* T-Thanks…..."
"C-Cute!!"
".....Master..."
"S-Sorry, did I say that out loud?"
Seeing Aria cry while smiling for some reason made me blush and can't help but pinch her cheek. Aria tried to control her expression but failed to do so after I told her that she is cute.
Meanwhile~
Amanda was laughing at the back, I guess she knew all along that something like this would happen.
