38 Food Heaven

"…"
It's been a few minutes, but the demon didn't even try to look at me, he is still putting his forehead down on the ground. What am I supposed to do in this kind of situation? Oh, is he expecting me to tell him to rise?
"R-R… Cough* Rise."
Ahhhh I almost f*ck up there, well done me!
The demon slowly raises his head, but he doesn't intend to stand up. He continues to stare at me. Why do such things happen so quickly?
"Name?"
"Weno, your majesty."
"What are you doing here?"
"I was assigned to escort your majesty to our nearest base. We were destined to fail after being hit by the magic circle created by the evil witch!"
Evil Witch? Magic circle? Is he talking about Amanda?
"…"
"Your majesty! Please follow us, we need you! Do not listen to these treacherous humans they are trying to trick you and will kill you in the end."
"…"
"A-Apologize for saying such words! Please punish me!"
This guy is really cute, hahaha what should I do with him?
"Weno is it?"
"Y-Y-Yes your majesty!"
"Follow me."
I walked to the nearest chair and sat down. He stood there dumbfoundedly waiting for my orders.
"Sit."
Weno immediately sat on the floor even though there are a lot of chairs provided for him.
"Sit on one of the chairs."
"Ehh?"
"Do you understand what I am saying?"
"B-But I am not worthy to be sitting beside you, your majesty! Only the top eighth…"
"Are you disobeying my orders?"
"Hyrraa!! No! I won't, your majesty!"
In a split of a second, I find him sitting in one of the chairs. Is that teleportation or he is that fast? I can't even see. Anyway, now let's find something for him to eat. I focus on various food on earth and hope it could appear.
As the food and beverage magically appear in front of him, Weno looks to be extremely shocked.
His mouth is opened widely, and drool was coming out from his mouth. Is he that hungry?
"You seem tired, eat. After that, we can talk."
"I-I can? Really?"
"Of course."
"T-Thank you! God bless you, your majesty!"
Oi… You are a demon, not a nun. Hey, don't try to eat all of them?
I quickly took some of the food and put it on my plate, if this continues I wouldn't be able to eat anything. He is eating non-stop, doesn't seem to end. Oh well, I could continue to make various foods to appear.
After a few minutes later, he started to slow down, his eyes were tearing up, but he continues to put food inside his mouth. Why is he even forcing himself?
"Why are you forcing yourself to eat?"
"Y-Your majesty has given me food, I shouldn't waste them! It's a blessing to eat all of these. Delicious…. I never ate such delicacies before."
Are demons poor? They look to be those poor children that are left on the street, starve and do not have any shelter. Ahh! I got a building that is currently not in use. Cough* Design to put children but he looks like a good child. In any case, I would need to know their situation first before I can take any action by myself.
"Why are you attacking the kingdom of Gwendal?"
"… I do not know, your majesty. I am just a minion. I am not powerful enough to know such things."
"Do you know why you are here then?"
"I was assigned to escort…"
"Other than that? Did you guys assassinate anyone in the palace?"
"N-NO! Y-Your majesty, we do not have any courage to do such things!"
"Good, I praise you for that Weno."
"T-Thank you, such words are not worth to lowly demon like me."
"… Relay to the rest to stop the invasion."
"Right away your majesty!"
Weno was about to run out of the room but slowly turn towards me.
"Y-Your majesty, this lowly demon is not powerful enough to come out from this place without endangering one's life. Please ease a way for me to go out."
"…"
"I-I'm sorry for not being useful your majesty!!"
As a result, I escort him while he is holding my hand. Sounds gay… But don't blame me, I do not know what will happen if I were to desire him to appear out from this room. He might go somewhere totally unsafe. Unnecessarily die without being able to relay the news.
Weno was crying his hearts out while I was escorting him out. He kept saying how burdensome he is to me. I told him it was fine, as I was the one that pulls him into this room. Upon going out, he bows to express how grateful before he disappeared.
Meanwhile, I felt hungry and went to the kitchen to find food. Even though I manage to eat a lot of food, it seems to disappear when I go out of the room. At least I manage to taste the food that I miss the most.

This is the greatest day of my life. I was able to converse with the one person that I didn't think I could. The demon king, he is believed to be the evillest out of all demon and would not have any mercy if any of the demons were rude to him.
There were rumors that despite being near to him, no demon could be able to talk to him normally due to his massive pressure that kept coming from the person himself.
He can't be damaged by any of our magical powers and have high physical resistance. Only the god sword can hurt the demon king. I still couldn't believe that I would have the opportunity to talk to the demon king. He didn't even lash at me for my rude behavior in fact he gave me delicious food.
I quickly report to the high demons, but I got tortured instead...
They assume I was lying as there are no such things on how I was able to talk to the demon king normally. I might be brainwashed and sent as a spy thus they didn't take any chance.
"Hello, little demon."
"…"
"I SAID HELLO."
"Hi!!"
"Good, good. Now let's see what is inside your brain? Shall we?"
"P-Please! You guys must, believe me, the demon king wants you to stop the invasion!"
"Hahahaha, such lies. No worries I will believe you after I am done playing with your brain."
Lastly, Sara the lust of dreams was sent to the interrogation room. She is the only one that was able to delve into a person's minds and play and read what really happens. This is the reason why no demon was able to escape if they are suspect of betraying the demon kingdom.
I was scared but knowing that it really happens, I am more concern over the fact that demon king already warns about stopping the invasion.
I am getting more and more sleepy…
~
I have met so many demons that were brainwashed, but this is the very first time a lowly demon that couldn't even stay awake from my aura of intimidation tried to lie blatantly that he receives an order from the demon king to stop the invasion.
Whose idea was that, do the humans think we are that stupid?
I force the demon to sleep using my intimidation and immediately use my power to get inside his mind. Weird, there isn't any kind of magic of entrapment. The human usually uses charm to get inside the mind of a demon to brainwash them.
That is one of the ways for the evil humans to be able to counter and knows our plan. That is why we didn't tell anything important to those lowly demons that is so gullible and easy to get tricked.
Hmm…
Now let's watch his memory of what happened till now…
So, this human is the demon king?
Ahhhh, he is close to that general! Now we know the reason why he smells familiar.
…
..
.
What? Did he die?
He died to the magic power from that evil witch. Wait, no…
It seems that he is still alive, but barely. W-What is this power…
Such pressure, i-is this the demon king?
I felt like I was being dragged to somewhere far.
~
Hmm? The aura disappeared? I even felt massive recovery from the surroundings. So, this is how this lowly demon survives from the attack.
After a while, she finally manages to see as the demon open his eyes. She was also taken aback as how the demon king appeared right in front of her. She immediately assumes that someone is disguising as the demon king as he does not have any intimidation but the Weno prostrate either way.
She almost felt that this demon is hopeless but after seeing how food magically appears right in front of her without any chant. Food that she has never seen before kept appearing non-stop even though the demon that she is controlling was eating it.
She felt that she is going to heaven, the food was that delicious. I need to meet up with the person and find a way for him to let me eat this delicious… No! I need to know whether he is a demon king or not.
