31 Kishirika

Kishirika was escorted towards Reinhard.

"So this is the Hero of the Human Race!"

With a wine glass on his hands, Reinhard was looking down over a little girl.

He took a sip and elegantly placed the glass on the tray. Sylphy was holding on the tray waiting on standby.

"What about those Adventurers who got her?"

"Yes. They received a reward of 1000 Green Ore coins for completing the request."

Green Ore coins were the highest currency in the Demon Continent. A single Green Ore coin would be enough for a small family to live a few months without working.

Reinhard didn't bother about the details, as the important matter right now was the girl in front of him.

Dressed in a skimpy outfit, purplish-violet hair, a body of a little girl, and her immense Mana Capacity, without a doubt this is the Demon Empress of the Demon Realm, Kishirika Kishirisu.

She appears as one of the main characters throughout the several thousands of years ago. With the Demon-Human war, she led the Demons and fought against the Human Race.

She just revived recently about 300 years ago, which made her look like a kid.

"I have heard about the rumors Hero! State your name!" Kishirika proudly said with energy.

"I think this is the first time we have met Demon Empress. My name is Reinhard Greyrat. As someone who recently acquired the title of a 'Hero' after defeating the Immortal Demon King Atoferatofe Ryback, I have ordered the Immortal Imperial Guards for a wide range search throughout the entire Demon Continent." He introduced himself in one smooth motion.

"FUHAHAHAHAHAHA!! So it was true that you are but a mere human child!" Kishirika heartily laughed. "Very good! I am Kishirika Kishirisu! People call me the Great Emperor of the Demon World!"

But then her eyes sparkled a bit out of curiosity.

"Oya, oya? What's this?" Her eyes turned around like a slot machine in a casino.

Sylphy who was at standby was expressionless, but she was grossed out in the inside. Despite her fighting in a dungeon bathing of blood and gore, she's still a girl after all.

"Ngh! This Magical Aura! Don't tell me you really got that idiot's power and make it your own?!" Kishirika looked a little shocked her eyes almost popped out of her sockets.

"Yeah, you could say that."

"Impressive! Truly impressive! Even that husband of that idiot Atofe his name Kalmann chose not to wield the powers of Immortality. Your greed for power is second to none! WAHAHAHAHA!!"

Although there was really nothing funny about it, she laughed. That was just her personality.

"As a Hero of Humankind and forcibly summoned me here, I'll be magnanimous and forgive your rudeness!" Kishirika proudly said.

"Very well! Because you beat that idiot Atofe in a fight, I will grant whatever wish you have, just one." Kishirika said not clearly afraid that she was currently in that said 'idiot Atofe's' castle.

If Atofe were to be here, she would lash out and try killing Kishirika on the spot. Though that wouldn't be a problem for either of them since they were both members of the Immortal Demon Tribe. They would just be resurrect for a few hundred years. In that span of time for long lived Demons was just like a few years for them.

"Demon Empress, would you care to tell me the whereabouts of my family." Reinhard asked, in a tone as if saying he was taking a no for an answer.

{Part 2}

It was already been a week since DeadEnd adventurer's party had captured the Demon Empress Kishirika from a special Quest of the Adventurer's Guild.

Rudeus was holding a pouch full of green ore coins. With this much funds acquired because of that special quest from a Demon King, Rudeus wouldn't need to worry financially starting now.

"It was all thanks to you Ruijerd-san." he said.

In the quest, Ruijerd was a great help. Because of his third eye that could function like a radar, the DeadEnd party had an overwhelming advantage over other adventurer parties.

However there is also a help that Rudeus secretly gotten from. Hitogami appeared in his dreams and gave Rudeus some clues on the whereabouts of the Demon Empress.

"Yeah." Ruijerd said indifferently.

Ruijerd was a member of the Super tribe. A tribe of Demons known for their viciousness and bloodthirsty nature.

It was him that saved Rudeus and Eris just right after they got teleported to the Demon Continent. If it weren't for him, Rudeus would have an extremely hard time.

"Ugh..." Meanwhile a groaning moan came from Eris.

When they met the Demon Empress a week ago, Rudeus was given the Demon Eye of Foresight. It only took him a short week before he could finally get used to the Demon Eye's power.

However Eris wasn't given a Demon Eye herself. After she saw how the Demon Empress stuck her finger inside the eye socket, Eris was already hesitating. When Eris was about to ask to give her a Demon Eye too, Ruijerd who was her master in combat advised her not to. Having a Demon Eye wasn't exactly convenient.

However seeing how Rudeus only needed a week to get used to the Demon Eye, she was starting to regret not taking the risk.

"Don't be so sad, Eris. I told you didn't I? Rudeus was just really compatible with the Demon Eyes he had."

People who have Demon Eyes might not be able to master using it their entire lifetime. Ruijerd warrior has been living for centuries with a Demon Eye dying without mastering it. That's what he told Eris too.

It's much better to focus on training efficiently than relying on external power like Demon Eyes.

"I get it already, Jeez!" Eris pounded her feet.

Starting here the DeadEnd party would depart from the City of Rikarisu.

There was already a huge butterfly effect from this.

The DeadEnd party didn't encounter any difficulties with a scamming Demon, Nekopara. And because of the quest to find the Demon Empress, Rudeus' trust rating on Hitogami was higher than the original.

"Well then let's start DeadEnd's first round table strategy meeting! Applause!"

Clap Clap Clap Clap!
