Chapter 371 – Requests

Celestia spent several days in the Great Devil Castle.
She looked around her castle without showing anything particularly suspicious, and she spent time leisurely as if she was on vacation, chatting with my women from time to time.
Then one day.
Celestia requested a private meeting with me.
…This too?
Naturally, I accepted her request.
With her little expectations, she prepared a place for just the two of them.
Celestia came first and was waiting.
“Welcome back. Thank you for letting me get along.”
The expression on her face as she thanked me was calm.
“…”
This is…Something…But I don’t think…
Celestia’s expression was soft, but she wasn’t even in the green light vibe.
“As a result of living here and judging her, she could see that you are definitely different from the other arch demons.”
“…”
Because he’s not the devil
Even though I know it’s different, I don’t seem to know that I’m not the devil.
Since there are so many different looking demons that it is hard to guess, it seems like a good thing in this respect…
“I know most of your female slaves are from Pantera.”
Did he stay here for simple reconnaissance rather than green light?
“You told me you wanted to go to Pantera.”
“It did.”
“At first, I thought you were just telling the story. But now I know that it was true. And the fact that you have been working hard for it.”
It wasn’t me, it was Liliana and Verna, but…
“I know that you care about your female slaves quite a bit. Despite having the status of being the Great Devil with two sexes… To the extent of being excessive.”
They treat you more generously than you treat other humans, but it’s hard to see that you treat them particularly well.
However, I thought that it might look like that from the point of view of Celestia, the archevil.
“Uno, don’t you want to send them there, not for the sake of conquering Pantera?”
Celestia asked with her sharp eyes shining.
It is the eyes of a great detective.
Did you find out about that after spending a few days here?
What she said is half right and half wrong.
Not only for my girls, but also for me.
Pantera has a save point, so it was a place I inevitably had to return to.
It seems that there are quite a few misunderstandings, but…
It seemed proud for some reason, so I decided not to correct the fact that she had worked hard and reasoned with manners.
And if it’s for my girl, something looks better.
More than that, I am not alone in my disappointment.
Celestia’s actions, which she thought were greenlights, were just reconnaissance.
Although Celestia ambitiously guessed at my intentions, it was nothing special from my point of view.
And for me to dare to make her own reconnaissance report…
“…So why are you telling me this?”
“The perfect descent into the Pantera you want… That’s not impossible.”
“Huh? There’s a way? They said there wouldn’t be before…”
“At that time, I couldn’t fully trust you.”
“So you lied then?”
“Yes.”
Her attitude was a bit brash, but I don’t know if it’s because I don’t trust her too much, but there was nothing like disappointment from her.
“So, you mean you can trust me now?”
“Well…Should I say that I’m half-confident yet? But I know that you don’t have any connection with the demons. That’s important. That’s why I made up my mind.”
“…What resolution?”
“The decision that I can hold hands with you.”
“Are you holding hands?”
“Do you know that there was another demon king before the current demon king?”
Do you know
I can’t even remember the name of the former president of our country…
Come to think of it, what was the name of the demon king… ?
I just call him Demon King, but I don’t even know his name.
“The current demon king, Hellion. Before that, there was a demon king named Helena.”
I am not interested in the genealogy of the demon king.
But why did she even bring up this story?
“No way?”
“Yes. It is that Helena who has a way for you and the female slaves to get to Pantera.”
“The former demon king knows how to do that?”
“Yes. Helena will know how to send your female slaves to Pantera.”
“Isn’t the former demon king named Helena dead?”
If the demon king has been replaced, of course I don’t think the previous demon king is fine.
It was because, looking at the great devils, it seems that the existence called the Demon King would not have done such a thing as handing over the throne.
“No. She was sealed by the demon king Hellion and her demons.”
“Aren’t you on the same side as demons? But why did you seal it?”
“Originally, demons were beings who absolutely obeyed the demons.”
“The demons?”
“That’s right. Until this Great Devil Castle is created.”
“I can’t believe…The one who created this Great Devil Castle…”
“That’s right, Helena. She created the Great Demon Castle and removed the demons’ obedience factor.”
To put it simply, demons were slaves of demons, and a demon king named Helena freed the slaves.
“So she was sealed by the current demon king and demons?”
“Yes.”
“So… You mean that if you break her seal, she can find a way to get to Pantera… Is it true that she can do things that even the Demon King can’t do now?”
“She had abilities several times superior to the current demon king.”
“She is, but she was sealed…”
It was a natural curiosity.
“She laid down her own position in her guilt and sealed her.”
“Guilt… I don’t think I’m like a demon lord…”
“Yes. She had a disposition unsuitable for a ruler. That’s why she handed over the position to Hellion. Helena and you are alike.”
It’s nonsense.
You say I resemble the previous demon king?
“She cared for her demons as much as you cared for her female slaves. I could see a similarity to her in the way you treated her female slaves.”
Of course, she’s my girl, so I treat her well.
Since I look so generous compared to the other Archdemons, she seems to be under the illusion that she’s like her.
“Let’s say that the former demon king named Helena knows how to send us to her Pantera. And let’s say we release her seal. Will she really let us go?”
“She’s Uno, she likes demons like you. Maybe Helena will send you to Pantera.”
“Perhaps… If it’s… It’s a story that they might not let you go.”
“Don’t lie. Even I can’t perfectly understand her heart. But I’ll take responsibility and ask for it. This will be the only way for your female slave to fully go to Pantera.”
“What difference does it make if you ask?”
“Perhaps… It will.”
Is it hard work or real confidence…
“Even if I say that I have the purpose of going to Pantera… Celestia, why do you want to break Helena’s seal?”
“Helena…Is my mother.”

A canyon with a long stretch of huge cliff with not a single tree in sight.
“Whoop! Whoop!”
The rough breathing of the three men echoes.
The entrance to the cave in the middle of a huge cliff.
The three men who struggled to get there took a heavy breath.
They are Charles, Albert and Henry.
It was the Overseer trio.
They chased the Great Devil’s Sealing Orb and came to this place.
The three people’s clothes were covered with dirt and dust, making them look like they were completely derelict.
In order to make up for their mistake, they persistently pursued the seal with the detection device Liliana gave them.
I don’t even know how many months have passed since I started tracking.
After a month passed, I didn’t even count the days.
He barely slept and desperately pursued the seal.
It would have been impossible without the water and food provided by Charles’ inventory.
After relentless pursuit, I found out that the location of the seal was stopped in one place, and I climbed this far-off cliff.
The three of them took a moment to catch their breath in front of the cave and stood up.
“Brother, how are you?”
Albert looked at Charles and asked.
Charles took out an object that looked like a round disk, about the size of the palm of his hand, from his inventory.
It is a sealing orb tracking device made by Liliana.
As Charles looked, the arrow on the tracking device was pointing into the cave.
“As expected, it’s like this inside. The distance…No change.”
Hearing Charles’ words, Henry and Albert breathed a sigh of relief.
The fact that the sealing sphere does not move can be said to be a sign that the tracking mission is almost at an end.
The three of them saw each other’s faces, nodded, and carefully entered the cave.
The inside of the cave was not as deep as I thought.
The three of them were able to face the end of the cave quickly.
And at the end of it was a lizard demon. It looked like he was dead because he was losing weight.
Albert and Henri, who discovered the Witchbeast, turn their eyes to Charles.
Charles took another look at the detector and nodded quietly to the two of them.
There was an unbearable smile on Charles’ lips.
At Charles’ positive signal, the faces of the two suddenly brightened.
Just one mistake.
I suffered like this for several months because of it.
But when I thought that this difficult journey of several months was finally over, I couldn’t help but be happy.
