Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta Chapter 7

The Maou's Castle Double Berg is at the eastern tip of the continent.

Being built on top of a cliff, many warriors and weapons for laying siege would be necessary to capture it.

If I had to guess, it would probably take hundreds of thousands of warriors, hundreds of siege weapons and a great commander to control them all.

But that guess is just a guess.

That's because since the dawn of history, there hasn't been any human country that came to capture it.

There was a king who came close to the vicinity of the castle and succeeded in making peace, but there hasn't been a king that could exterminate demons.

"……. well if there was one, then Grandfather's death would be nonsense and I probably wouldn't be here."

If I wasn't the child of a demon, and raised as a human, I might have walked down the path of a normal human life.

Thinking that, I feel strange but that feeling quickly disappears.

A strong barrier is affixed to Double Berg. It's not possible to transfer anywhere. If unrestricted movement was possible then it would be simple to a.s.sa.s.sinate the Maou.

It was an obvious treatment but I was surprised at the strict defense.

"What's wrong? The castle miasma affecting you? You're still human and even if you're wearing the undead king's robe, it's still hard."

"No that's not it…."

During the time that I've been summoned, I've been wondering about the existence of demon magicians.

"Commander, could it be that those magicians check the humans entering the castle?"

Pointing my finger, she looks in the direction and affirms.

"Indeed. Did you think that you could meet the Maou-sama without going through any kind of check?"

I did think so.

If I was with the number 2 of the Maou army, I thought they would accommodate and let us go but it seems that they're checking everyone.

"Not good commander. At this rate, I'm going to be found out."

"What? You're afraid that it's going to be found out that you're a coward who can't touch a beautiful woman's chest?"

"…. not that. They're going to find out I'm human. If they find out that the robe and mask are just put on, they're going to take it off."

"You can at least take off the mask in front of others."

"At that time I'll cast transformation magic. If it's a weak demon, it should be fooled. They wouldn't think that such a high rank magician would do such a thing."

"What just that huh. Don't worry. If it's your magic then it's impossible but for me it's simple."

Then without even chanting, her magic envelops me.

Witches at her level don't need to chant but her not doing it majestically makes me nervous.

The check is now at us and as expected I was made to take off my robe and mask. While my heart was pounding, the reality was reflected on a mirror. Reflected right there was a splendid demon with horns and tusks.

It would appear that somehow Sefiro's magic was perfect.

But as expected of the Maou castle, it wasn't just that. The magicians also directly checked.

A demon man that appeared to be in his middle ages expressionlessly checks me. It's not like Sefiro without chanting, it's done properly with the spell.

With a tense expression, I receive the magic.

I'm afraid that Sefiro's simply cast magic will get found out.

While my heart rate was becoming erratic, I look at the middle aged demon's face.

"As expected of the one called the Maou Army's Right hand man. Splendid mana. I don't think this is the strength of just a brigade chief."

It appears that it isn't just checking if you're a demon but also your abilities.

"My, you're splendid Ike. If it's you, then you're probably going to become a Corps Commander someday."

Hearing those words, I felt relieved but I had one question.

"Huh? You know my name?"

"I've known you for a long time. Also I've had a small acquaintance with your grandfather."

Oh this person is an acquaintance of grandfather?

As expected of grandfather.

He was the Maou Army's great magician and won the name for himself. It hasn't been long since he died. He left behind many legends so the demons who know him are a lot.

I wanted to hear grandfather's story but it wasn't possible.

"What are you talking about? Wasting time here. We're going to Maou-sama. The current Maou is a very tolerant person but one that is tiresome when it comes to time."

Hearing her words, I lightly bow my head to the magicians and head straight to the Maou.
