「The Church’s teaching should have prohibited the worshipping Gods other than the sole God that is written in the scriptures though?」
「You sure are well-informed.」
「I am not foolish enough to oppose an opponent without knowing about them first.」
「Actually……Lumachina believes that I am the advent of God.」
「Is that girl an idiot?」
「Did you see her as being wise?」
「……No, that’s true. She is an idiot, her beliefs are intense, and she is not flexible──If she was not like that, she probably would not think of trying to reform the Church.」
「That is how it is.」
Going *Fufu*, Lamnites laughed.
「Now that you mention it, rather than calling you an excellent Magician, I could agree with calling you the incarnation of God.」
「Hmph, this is no joke. Just as I introduced myself before──I am a Demon King of another world.」
「You are an interesting man.」
「Damned strange woman.」
For some reason, whenever he was up against Lamnites, his tune gets out of whack.
It seemed as if she were seeing through his Demon King roleplay, and it felt uncomfortable. Was this how dealing with an adult woman felt like?
Lamnites grabbed her robe that was on the chair, and put it on.
「Since you turned me down, I shall go back.」
「What will you do about the town?」
「I am no imbecile. If you all will not remain, there is no choice but to withdraw.」
「I see……I thought that you would fuss over the town more.」
「Even if I fuss over it, this town is my country after all. However, once it is known that you all are leaving the town, the scraped together mercenaries and Adventurers, and, if done unskillfully, even the soldiers should start to run away.」
「I suppose, that’s how it will be.」
They were made to realize the Demon King Army’s strength. Everyone knew that the state of the war was reversed all thanks to Diablo’s group. If that distinguished party were to leave the town──There was no way the others would remain.
Lamnites shrugged her shoulders.
「Do not mind it. As long as there are people, it is possible for the town to be restored. If it were not for all of your group’s achievements, everything would have been lost. You have my gratitude.」
「……I am not……particularly minding it. Because I am a Demon King, something like a town of the Races is of no concern to me.」
「In one month, I shall lead the citizens and evacuate. As we will be sending the sand ships out to the edge of the desert, you all may ride that as well. Until then, please protect the town.」
「Well, if you will send out a ship, I do not mind waiting.」
「Fufu……If you change your mind, come visit the tower. We shall have a continuation of tonight there.」
For an instant, he remembered the conduct from not long ago, and froze up.
Diablo crossed his arms and took his gaze off of her.
「Wh, what are you saying. Did you think that I had any interest in that sort of thing?」
「How unfortunate, I had an interest in your thing down there though.」
──So raw!
Diablo felt like he was going to blush.
He turned his back to her, and gazed outside from the window. He cooled his face with the night wind.
「Hurry up and get out.」
「Good night, Diablo.」
The door was closed behind him.
It did not feel like his sleepiness would return for awhile.
