“Aina, what are you doing?”
“Kaya and Misa asked me to teach them light magic, so I’m teaching them.”
Light magic is mainly the power to heal wounds and inflict powerful damage to demons.
It seems that Kaya and Misa, who are demons, can use magic that is a natural enemy for demons.
“You two want to be useful?”
“I’ve been given this power and I want to use it well.”
“We want to be adventurers when we grow up and travel together.”
“Aren’t you going to join the Demon Lord’s army or something?”
“You have to be chosen by the Demon Lord to join the army.”
“Besides, I don’t really like the Demon Lord.”
“Huh? Isn’t the Demon Lord in charge of the Demon tribe?”
“I found out from talking to the two of you that not all demons worship the Demon Lord.”
That’s right.
It’s a surprising truth.
When I asked Sara about it, she said that she didn’t actually worship the Demon Lord either.
“To be honest, the Demon Lord’s reputation is not good even within the demon tribe. I wanted to avoid him as well, to be honest, but the Demon Lord’s orders are absolute. I half gave up and just followed his orders.”
“Seriously… What kind of person is the Demon Lord?”
“He’s a womanizer, he’s demanding, he’s quick to anger…”
And on and on it goes…
“Okay, I understand that he’s scum for now. I don’t know how a guy like that could be the Demon Lord.”
“The only thing I can appreciate about him is his magic power. It’s the only thing you can appreciate.”
You’re out of line, man!
“Then there was the support of the people around him. When he was in his last days, he got rid of the people who were supporting him and put all the yes-men around him.”
I wondered if it was the same for some powerful people.
