「……Does you like curses or something?」

As Orel tried to shrug his shoulders at Vermudol who was confirming Orel's status with a bored face……noticing that it was impossible to do, he ended up only making a slight movement.

The one that was lying down in front of Vermudol as he sat on the throne was Orel who was tightly tied up enough that he couldn't really be considered lying down.

「Still, to be able to confirm Status without the use of a 『Reveal Crystal』……You seriously are the Demon King-sama, aren't cha.」

It is said that even the predecessor Gramfia was a black haired young man similar to Vermudol at first.

「Well, that's true. So, there is something I want to ask you but. May I?」

Vermudol also knew the meaning of Orel's gaze.

In actuality, the one that beat Orel up was Ichika, and not Vermudol.

What was important was the fact that the one with the highest position in this place right now was Vermudol.

「……It'd be nice if it's something that I can answer though.」

That's right, upon being made to understand everything, the current Orel was being looked down on.

「No, you don't have to worry about that. It's fine if you don't answer to things that you can answer.」

It was a lightheartedness that was similar to talking with a close friend or something.

But right now, despite being under this abnormal situation, Vermudol talked to Orel with a lightheartedness and intimacy that was similar to that.

He was able to clearly imagine that scene.

Or maybe, that was the way the spirit worthy of being the Demon King should be.

「For the time being, I was thinking of trying to unify the Dark Continent. Would you have any good ideas for that?」

Unable to determine if Vermudol's words were serious or a joke, Orel replied like that.

That wasn't accomplished even by the previous Demon King Gramfia.

Although not as much as the other Mazoku, there was no mistake that Orel was also self-centered.

That monsterous Demon King, having been driven into a corner by the Hero, ended up finding fault in his loyal subordinates. It seemed like it wasn't from cowardice, but from self-protection.

「Answer Demon King-sama's question.」

The place where he was severely injured by Ichika was hurt even more, but he didn't even feel like speaking out a complaint.

Since he couldn't stand being kicked again, Orel tried searching for the appropriate words.

「As long as a Hero isn't invading, I think that solidarity is impossible. And even if it did come to the Hero invading, I think that there'll be guys that will hide in holes in the ground and won't come out.」

They were created by Majin as symbols of their own strength, and also served as a means of offense and defense.

To the type of Majin that would do the attacking themselves like Orel, they were ridiculed as cave Majin, but except for the ones that were unfortunately attacked by the Hero, they unexpectedly had a high survival rate.

After all, because the monsters that made their nests in the dungeons are included as their subordinates, there are many that misunderstand that and call themselves Demon Kings.

According to even more stories that he heard, on the verge of the previous battle, it was said that the Hero party called Gramfia the Grand Demon King.
He didn't think that there was any grander or lesser Demon King, but Orel considered that there were surely some self-proclaimed Demon Kings in the Human's continent.

「Self-proclaimed Demon Kings huh……If that's the case, then I guess that would mean that my current state is also that of the Grand Demon King.」

Being rebuked by Ichika, Vermudol pondered while making a wry smile.

If there were cases where a Grand Demon King was lying in wait after the Demon King, then there were also cases where there were also Grand Demon Kings that had multiple Demon Kings obeying them.

If he remembered correctly, there should have also been cases where the Demon King's subordinates defeat the Demon King and take their place.

First, the natural born Demon King. Established as the Demon King, they were an existence that would create and command Mazoku.

Vermudol was without a doubt the former, and was an existence produced by the Demon G.o.d as the Demon King.

In this situation, what should be done to bring Vermudol the most profit.

「……As I thought, I guess it'll be that.」

「The fact that they are claiming themselves as a Demon King, that probably means that everyone wants to swagger about…… I guess I should try going with that?」
After saying that, Vermudol looked at Orel who was still tied up, and expressed a smile.
