The Devil's Origin

42: Information Gathering.

During the roundtable meeting that day, there was one particular piece of information brought up.

"So? Is it true? Randolph-dono."

"Yes, Chaos-dono. I have no doubt since the human has been talking about it."

"But you still don't know the location of the next demon subjugation..."

"My apologies. I couldn't get that information just yet."

According to Randolph who was working at a human adventure guild, there was a plan for another demon subjugation orchestrated by the hero.

However, we didn't know what kind of demon they were planning on subjugating nor the location or the time of their attack.

The rest of the demon groaned in frustration.

"The current information we have is still too vague... Randolph, be sure to report back to us when you've acquired new information."

"At your will."

We want to save them if we can.

Everyone had the same thought on their mind as we concluded our meeting for the day.

I didn't want to let anyone die without trying to help them if I could anymore.

I needed to be stronger.

Which was why, I decided to embark on a mission that one could say was reckless.

Which..... I regretted it afterwards.

"Mao-kun, does the orange juice taste good?"

"Yeah."

Right.

I was sitting on the hero's lap.

(Ha...Haah...Hah... Mao-tan... Mao-tan is sitting on my lap while slurping on juice... Haah... Haahhh... He's so adorable... So, so adorable... Mao-tan... I wonder will you also slurp on my 'son'? Ah...Haaah... I.. I should bring Mao-tan's used straw back with me... )

Don't take it back you pervert!!!

That was right.

Right now, I was sitting on the hero's lap in the guild.

If there's something you don't understand, it'd be better to just ask directly.

In any way since the plan was centered around the hero, I decided to infiltrate the guild and asked the hero directly.

I knew my plan was reckless.

If they saw through my disguise, that was the end of me.

However! If everything went well, I could save another demon from certain death!

............ And that was what I from 3 hours ago thought.

I really want to punch me from 3 hours ago.

My plan went well. Too well in fact.

Recently Velke often went out during the day so I took that as an opportunity to slip out of the castle.

I still remembered how to use disguise magic so I changed my appearance into a human using magic myself.

Then I used the Teleporation Room to go into the neighbouring town.

I was nervous as hell but I braved myself and went into the adventurer guild.

I used my pseudonym, Mao and called out for the hero.
