Demon King and Hero

Volume 8 Chapter 4

"The second case of the trial shall now begin!"

Leaving the mother case unconcluded, the Goddess looked over to Raelle and asked,

"Any rebuttals?"

"What do you mean, rebuttals! Why do I have to call her big sister!"

The Demon God, sitting in the prosecutor's chair, snorted and said,

"Hmph, I won?"
"Bullshit! I was winning!"

Listening to Raelle and the Demon God's shouts, the Goddess smirked.

"Attaboy, now this is a trial!"

"Oi, don't be so happy watching someone else's daughters fight."

She had already admitted that she had started Ragnarok in other neighbourhoods, so the Chief God couldn't rest at ease. Sure, looking at other places' chaos was fun, but not when it happening to his own!

"Then I can't play XOL!(1)"

A single great game was stopping the gods from going to war.

Meanwhile, in the witness' seat, the Demon King stood up and said,

"Raelle is right. But that was because we ganged up on her, and it was Raelle's turn to get ganked."

"Don't make me laugh! My daughter would... never?"
Maybe if it was a normal day, but looking on her daughter who had changed so much over this single day alone, Raelle couldn't help but trail off at the end.
"Hm... I can't pretend I don't know my mom..."
"R, right?"

Sermir looked at Raelle, smiling brightly, and said,

"That's the case, but of course, looking after my believers..."

"D, don't, my daughter! God or not, you don't need to look after that!"

Looking on at the flustered flailing Raelle, the Chief God said,

"Look at my daughter's mentality. The God of Light just told the god of the greatest religion to not look after her believers..."
"Damn. A. Ma. Zing. She just denied the duty of a god in front of the Chief God."

The Demon King looked on at Raelle, who was all jittering, and the corner of his mouth rose up.
"As Sermir's devout follower, it is a matter of fact that I receive her protection."
"Don't make me laugh, my daughter... Sermir... Is on my side!"

Looking on at Raelle who shouted pitifully while shivering in her shoes, Sermir's expression hardened, and leered at the demon king.

"That's true, I'm still Mom's..."

"Sob.. My daughter..."

Crying a bit, Raelle looked on her daughter. Yes, her daughter was truly on her side!
'Mom's going to be good to you. From now on, I won't yell at you, I'll treat you well!'

It was just when Raelle was making that resolution.
"Deal?"

At the Demon King's words, Sermir's face did a complete 180 and she said,

"What's the terms?"

"D, daughter?"

"How about I send a Demon King over to the human world and stir up a show? After all the strong ones fall, Sermir is going to be a hero who beautifully finishes it off!"

"Send who?"
"Destruction? Strife? After I send one over, I can always unsummon him once the show plays out."

"Deal!"
"Objection!"
Looking on at Sermir and the Demon King's deal, Raelle thumped the table and stood up.
