254 Chapter 13 Suspicion

"Yes, that mask! Wait a minute!

Diablo, the leader of the Viscount of the Magical Nation, speaks up and retains the masked boy.

His actions surprised his colleagues, the Young Demonic Elites.

All of a sudden, Diablo is confused by the senseless behavior of stopping the masked boy.

Never mind the surprise of his colleagues, Diablo stares at a boy with black hair in a hooded cape and a clown mask.

(Yes, the habit is the same as the one I used to see when I was escorting a woman with the light that didn't open the door - no, that's it!

Memory was confident, and I clearly remembered the "race gathering" era.

During the "Race of Races" era, when I taught Light how to manners, Diablo fixed it because it wasn't smart how to open the door.

I remember that table manners were easier to learn than I expected, but for some reason I couldn't fix the habit of opening doors alone.

A racial (human) boy with the same habit that struggled to fix it is in front of him.

And the same black hair as the light that killed him about three years ago, the back length.

(Stupid! Stupid, stupid! That's impossible! The human (inferior species) light must have died in the "Naraka"! I'm not alive!

The suspicion of 'but' passes Diablo's mind.

About three years ago, in Naraka, Light decided to be killed, and Sasha shot him in the leg and fell. As he crawled away, the Transformation Squad activated and disappeared somewhere inside the dungeon.

After the light disappeared, Diablo and the others explored the inside of the 'Narrow' to their limits, but were unable to find him.

As a result, "Race (human) is injured and cannot survive forever. The monsters must have killed him. So Light is dead," he reported.

The report convinced the former members of the "Race of Races" that each had been rewarded.

The reward given for Light's death - if he was alive, of course it would be revoked. Rather, making false reports is likely to result in severe penalties. That way, the position he has acquired in the demonic race will naturally disappear.

(If I'm unlucky and the lights survive the Naraka, I'm done...!

Your eyes are as thin as snakes, and you're driven by a sense of impatience.

The boy in the mask who was called up slowly looks back.

He leans his head and leaks a murmured voice because of the mask.

"What is it?

I feel different from the sound of the lights I remember in the past...

I can't make a quick decision because I'm wearing a mask.

"What's your name? Take off that mask and expose yourself!

"Ah, did my guard, Mr. Dark, make a rough appearance? Then I apologize as my employer. So please forgive me."

Lilith was surprised and broke in to hide the light.

She knows about Light and Diablo's fixation, but she doesn't hear that Light is divorcing herself on the spot, so she's trying to step in and defend herself as an employer.

Diablo swallows Lilith's appearance.

The opponent is a royal, even though it is an inferior species.

Emotionally eliminating Lilith in front of rival colleagues would be a stain on Diablo.

There is no reason to bother giving him materials to pull his own feet in front of his rivals.

He takes a gentle breath once to calm his feelings.

"... the Principality of Six is currently gathered at the top of each country-- If anyone wears a suspicious mask, I think it's natural to want to know who they are."

"Then rest assured. As I mentioned earlier, they are a Class A" Black Clown "party recognized by the Adventurers Guild. I'm not suspicious."

I can't back off Lilith's words by saying, "Yes, I see."

Diablo stepped in.

"I don't doubt the Adventurer Guild or the Princess, but may I see your face just in case? Just in case, if you don't have anything to back off, you can take a mask, right?

"... of course I don't mind."

The masked boy strokes the mask so hard to say.

"I'm hiding my face in a mask because I was badly burned in a fire. Honestly, it's not something that people can see, but is that okay? It's a bit irritating to see people who aren't resistant...."

"I don't mind. Since I look like this and I've been diving through the Shura in the past, I'm resistant to it."

Diablo wears a sickle, but he can't read his expression because he is wearing a mask, and his attitude is natural and there is nothing suspicious about it.

In Diablo's words, other demonic races, including Fried, stand masked.

Apparently, Dark's remark, "It's a little stimulating to see something less resistant," has become a courageous provocation for young people.

Contrary to Diablo's desperation, he stands in darkness as a kind of entertainment.

If you make so much noise, you can create an atmosphere where Dark can't refuse either.

"I see. It's really bad, so be prepared, right?

Excuse me, Princess.

Fake Yume stood in front of Lilith to block her sight.

Since she was not tall enough to hide herself, she closed her eyes with her hands.

Dark stretches his hands to the mask after confirming it.

"......!?

Young people of the devil race who stood half amused took a breath.

Some of them have a bad complexion and are still about to fall down.

Looking at the figure, Gold made fun of their weakness by saying, "This is too elite or too palatable (laughs)."

Even Diablo, a former adventurer resistant to Gros, has a dark burn that is too severe to look away.

It is somewhat pathetic to blame young greenhouse-breeders.

--In fact, the power of the "SSR, Clown Mask", the burn created by phantom, does not have a single scratch on Dark's original face.

Dark put on his mask again, saying, "That's enough."

"... even though you wanted it, I'm sorry I showed you something ugly. Okay, here we go. Princess."

When Dark greets the adult, he prompts Lilith to leave the meeting room.

Young demons who have not recovered from the shock of the burn cannot stop, leaving the dark behind.

Only Diablo was moving his head and discussing.

(I couldn't tell the face from the burn, but was that a fake? But if that burn was the price for getting out of Naraka alive...)

It took some time, including Diablo, for the young demons to make a proper move.
