Anos Voldigoad: So, it seems I am not the only Demon Lord here. This is a curious gathering.
Diablo: Indeed. It is not every day that beings of our stature gather in one place. To what do I owe the pleasure of speaking with other rulers of their realms?
Sadao Maou: Wait, wait… You guys are actual Demon Lords? Like, ruling whole realms and commanding armies?
Anos Voldigoad: Of course. I am Anos Voldigoad, the true Demon King, one who controls life and death and has destroyed gods in my time.
Diablo: And I, Diablo, am the primordial black, one of the oldest and strongest demons. I serve my master, Rimuru Tempest, but my strength surpasses most. What of you, Maou? Are you not also a Demon Lord?
Sadao Maou: Oh, yeah, I'm Satan… but uh, currently, I'm working part-time at a fast-food joint. Gotta pay the bills somehow.
Anos Voldigoad: Raises an eyebrow A fast-food joint? What kind of kingdom are you ruling?
Sadao Maou: Laughs nervously Well, about that… I was forced into this world with most of my powers stripped away, and now I'm stuck in Japan, flipping burgers.
Diablo: Fascinating. You've gone from ruling Hell to serving mortals food. How quaint. Smirks Does this "part-time job" amuse you?
Sadao Maou: I wouldn't say "amuse," but you've got to adapt, you know? Life's tough when you've got rent to pay and no armies to command. What about you guys? No financial struggles, I take it?
Anos Voldigoad: Financial struggles? Such things are beneath me. I could erase all monetary systems with a snap of my fingers if I chose.
Diablo: My master's nation, the Jura Tempest Federation, is prosperous, and I have no need for currency. Everything I desire is provided. Wealth and power come naturally to those of our rank.
Sadao Maou: Must be nice. I'm still trying to earn enough to get a fridge that doesn't make weird noises.
Diablo: Laughs I must say, your situation is… unique. But tell me, Maou, do you ever crave the power you once had? The endless legions at your command?
Sadao Maou: Sometimes, yeah. But honestly? There's something kinda nice about living a normal life. Humans are… interesting, I guess. They've got this resilience, even without magic or power. Besides, there's something satisfying about a hard day's work.
Anos Voldigoad: How quaint. Yet I suppose it speaks to the strength of your character. Even without your powers, you adapt. But surely you must long to reclaim your title?
Sadao Maou: Yeah, maybe one day. But for now, I'm content flipping burgers and occasionally fighting off angels and demons.
Diablo: How curious. Most Demon Lords would crush such a mundane existence. But your contentment is… admirable, in a way. I, on the other hand, thrive on the chaos and challenges that come with serving my master. Rimuru-sama's enemies are formidable, and it is my pleasure to eliminate them.
Anos Voldigoad: In my time, I have fought gods, heroes, and other Demon Lords. They all fall the same way: crushed under the weight of my magic and will. The challenge lies not in defeating them, but in finding opponents who are worthy of my power.
Sadao Maou: Must be nice to be able to just blow away your problems with magic. I have to deal with customers who complain about their fries not being crispy enough.
Diablo: Chuckles The contrast is amusing. Though I imagine even you, Maou, must face enemies from time to time, despite your current situation.
Sadao Maou: Oh, definitely. I've had angels, demons, and even otherworldly beings try to take me down. But they've got nothing on the power of a well-made burger.
Anos Voldigoad: Hmph. A trivial existence, yet you survive. That is commendable. Though I must ask, what do you make of heroes? Do they challenge you in your weakened state?
Sadao Maou: Heroes? Yeah, there've been a few. They're persistent, I'll give them that. But honestly, I'm more worried about losing my part-time job than dealing with a hero right now.
Diablo: It's ironic. The mighty Demon Lord brought low by… capitalism.
Anos Voldigoad: Smirks You amuse me, Maou. Perhaps one day I'll visit this "fast-food joint" of yours.
Sadao Maou: You're welcome anytime, but no guarantees I can get you a discount.
Diablo: Laughs Truly, this is one of the most entertaining conversations I've had in some time. To think, a Demon Lord who serves fries instead of ruling realms. It's absurd, yet oddly inspiring.
Anos Voldigoad: Indeed. But no matter where we find ourselves, a Demon Lord's will remains unbroken. Whether ruling over worlds or flipping burgers, our power is undeniable.
Sadao Maou: I guess you could say that. Even without armies or magic, I'm still Satan, right? Maybe that's all that matters.
Anos Voldigoad: Precisely. Power lies within, not in the position you hold.
Diablo: Well said, Anos. Maou, I look forward to hearing more of your exploits—both in the realm of fast food and beyond.
Sadao Maou: Laughs Yeah, maybe next time I'll tell you guys about the time I saved my co-worker from a rampaging demon while wearing an apron.
