Demon Lord

"Are you sure about this? You know, a Demon Lord isn't like a common person that you see every day. Even if you want to meet one, it is also quite hard, considering how big the Little Garden is and how limited the number is. It might be just a rumor, right?" Haru said.

As for Shiroyasha and Leticia, who was also Demon Lords in the past, Haru knew that the existence of the two of them was so rare, and it might be because of the aura of the protagonist that caused them to appear at the same location at the same time.

Also, it wasn't that rare for someone to impersonate a Demon Lord. After all, as there were good people like Shiroyasha, Kuro Usagi, and the rest, there were also evil people like Galdo. As long as someone was evil enough, it wasn't uncommon for people to call them a Demon Lord, even though they didn't have the power to be one.

Hearing Haru's words, everyone also started to calm down.

The existence of Demon Lord wasn't like the existence of a dog and a cat on the street that they could see everywhere. It was so rare for a Demon Lord to appear. Still, they might forget to meet three Demon Lords before from Shiroyasha, Leticia, and Algol.

Still, Haru remembered that he had gotten Algol's power, but he had never tried it, which made him wonder whether he had a chance to use it in the future.

"No." Shiroyasha shook her head and said, "It's real. It isn't a rumor." She looked at everyone with a solemn expression and told what had happened and why she needed their help (Haru's help). "A top member of Thousand Eyes has recorded a prophecy. It says there are signs that a Demon Lord attack shall occur at the Rise of the Fire Dragon Festival." She then took a letter from the sleeve of her kimono before she gave it to Haru.

Haru read the letter curiously, but Jin was startled and asked, "Th - The prophecy predicts an attack by a Demon Lord?"

"Yes." Shiroyasha nodded and looked at Haru again. "Haru, what do you think?"

"Still, it is surprising that the Demon of Laplace sent this letter to you," Haru said.

"The Demon of the Laplace?!"

Everyone was dumbfounded again, but the troubled children were confused.

"Who is this Demon of Laplace?" Asuka asked with doubt.

"It's a demon where all the prophecy originated. If the one who sent that letter was the Demon of the Laplace, then without a doubt, the Demon Lord will appear on the Rise of the Fire Dragon Celebration," Kuro Usagi said in shock since she didn't expect the Demon of the Laplace would appear on this conversation.

"That's right." Shiroyasha received her letter back from Haru and said, "Since the Demon of Laplace has sent this letter, then without a doubt, we can be sure that the Demon Lord will appear at the festival. Also, knowing the Demon of Laplace, I imagine it is who will call the Demon Lord here."

"Still, in the letter, there is no name written on who is the one who summons the Demon Lord," Jin said.

"Well, that's normal, isn't it since it might be another Floor Master, the one who summons this Demon Lord," Haru said frankly.

"What?!"

Everyone except for Asagi, Asuka, Yuu, and Izayoi exclaimed. However, the four of them didn't understand why everyone exclaimed.

"Th - There's no way, right?" Jin asked in shock.

"Don't be naive, Jin." Haru looked at Jin and said, "You should remember that three years ago, our community was also being attacked by the Demon Lord, but no one helped, right?"

"......."

"Even this Salamandra, who was also once our alliance, also didn't do anything when our community was attacked by the Demon Lord, so it isn't normal for the other floor master to do something similar, right?" Haru said.

"......."

Jin wanted to say something, but he couldn't since he knew that Haru's words were right.

"The truth is once I heard about the Demon Lord that will appear on the Rise of the Fire Dragon Celebration, I thought that it served them, right," Haru said without hesitation, but his words didn't cause a dissatisfaction since it was impossible for someone to treat someone who had betrayed them gently. "Because of the Demon Lord, a lot of previous members of our community have been taken as loots, some become slaves, some are missing, and some have passed away, leaving only a group of children and Kuro Usagi. If they can help us in the past, then at least our situation will be several times better."

Hearing Haru's words, they could only help but frown when they thought about the Salamandra.

Salamandra had betrayed them, so if they received a similar fate, then it served them right!

"Also, you should understand that, unlike Shiroyasha, who understands our power, most of the floor masters will look down on us. We, as the "no-name" community, what do they think that we can do? Instead, they will think of us as a burden," Haru said, showing everyone's reality before them. They might have started to become better on the East Side, but it didn't mean that their reputation had grown so big that everyone in the Little Garden knew them.

Everyone thought that they wouldn't help Shiroyasha and the Salamandra, but...

"But I don't like it when they look down on us," Haru said, which caused their hearts to tremble.

Haru looked at everyone with a smile and said, "We have fought a pseudo-Demon Lord in the past. How about we fight the Demon Lord for real now?"

Looking at this smile, everyone also smiled and thought that as expected of their leader.

'This guy really loves to create drama!'

"So, who is coming with me?" Haru asked.

"Me!!!" They said without hesitation.

"There you have heard it, Shiroyasha." Haru looked at Shiroyasha and said, "I know that you ask for our help as your helper, but I'm sorry that this Demon Lord is going to be ours."

Shiroyasha also smiled and said, "Just hearing those words from you is reassuring. Alright, I don't mind if you take down the Demon Lord by yourself." She then squinted her eyes and smiled. "You sure are crafty, Haru." She knew Haru's ability and knew that he had the power to defeat the Demon Lord since Haru could easily defeat her.

Haru only shrugged his shoulders, and he didn't say anything. What the "no-name" community needed right now was a reputation, the reputation of a community that had defeated the Demon Lord. By then, no one would look down on them again!

With that said, everyone decided to take a trip to the North Side. Of course, they didn't use Haru's teleportation ability, and they used Shiroyasha's money to go to the North Side by using an astral gate. After all, someone had decided to treat them. Why should they reject it?
