Chapter 106 – Sweet Sacrifice

The demon’s world was a more confined place than Hifumi had expected.

With the elven barrier being powerful, there are sometimes openings which can be located. But it seems to be rare to discover those at a level were demons are able to pass through them.

“Demons, who discovered such holes by accident, impulsively exit the barrier or those amongst the demons possessing high amounts of mana temporarily expand a hole to dispatch spies and soldiers though returning is in both cases difficult”, the male demon called Phegor (T/N: >> Fuegoru > Bereto > Ueparu <<), huh?” (Phegor)

Phegor obviously showed a bothered expression, but ignoring him completely, the woman called Vepar looked in Hifumi’s direction.

“Oh my, a human being in this city, how rare… mmh?” (Vepar)

Hifumi, who was looking at the state of the demons’ city while disregarding the conversation between Beleth and Phegor, looked at Vepar’s appearance disinterestedly.

Vepar gets directly in front of Hifumi and takes a long hard look at his face.

“You… what’s with the colour of your eyes. Besides…” (Vepar)

Vepar, who intently gazed at his face with a serious look, quickly lined up next to Hifumi and when she tried to closely embrace his left arm, he escaped.

“Aww, how fast. Although you are a human, your physical ability is high. I’m very interested.” (Vepar)

“It didn’t feel like hostility, but… what are you?” (Hifumi)

Receiving the look of Hifumi assessing her vigilantly with narrowed eyes, Vepar folded her arms in a pose that her breasts were pushed up and her body trembled.

“Those eyes, they are great!” (Vepar)

Hifumi looks at Phegor and points at Vepar.

Phegor bowed slightly and said 「Sorry」.

“That person is a soldier ranking fairly high even among demons… I will inform you about him properly later on.” (Vepar)

“Vepar! You!” (Beleth)

Due to Vepar trying to snuggle up to Hifumi as soon as there’s a chance, Beleth bellowed while sweating.

“Ara, how may I help you? I’m busy right now, you know?” (Vepar)

“Busy, you say!? Is it that fun to cuddle with someone strange like a human!?” (Beleth)

“Being able to say “like”, are you that much more remarkable than a human?” (Vepar)

Beleth, having a finger pointed at him in order to provoke him, blushes and becomes heated up to a degree that it looks like steam is rising up from him.

“At the very least I’m able to kill this midget with one hand!” (Beleth)

“I wonder?” (Vepar)

Inclining her head to the side, Vepar directed a sidelong glance at Hifumi.

“I’m sensing a far more dangerous and powerful aura from that gentleman though.” (Vepar)

Beleth faced Hifumi with a look full of rage.

Hifumi remains silent.

“Beleth. I told you before, but he is the king’s guest.” (Phegor)

“… Tsk! Phegor, if that guy messes up in some way, call me right away!” (Beleth)

Vepar stuck out her tongue towards Beleth who walks heavily in the other direction while heaving his shoulders angrily and going bow-legged.

“I hate vulgar men. Putting that aside, Phelgor, is he going to the king’s place? I will come along as well.” (Vepar)

“… Don’t do anything unnecessary.” (Phelgor)

Phelgor, who gave her a short warning, called out to Hifumi and they began to walk once again.

Behind him Hifumi and Vepar are walking side-by-side.

“… That Beleth, he is calm at strange aspects.” (Vepar)

“That’s right. It’s truly regrettable.” (Hifumi)

“Ara, did you plan to start a fight with a demon down in the middle of a demon city?” (Vepar)

Hifumi only turned his gaze at Vepar who showed an unnatural surprise.

“How is that related to anything?” (Hifumi)

A chill travels down on Vepar’s spine. Her body trembled with a shudder, but her mouth smiled.
