Chapter 335 S-Rank Dungeon
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
(Doll’s POV)
(Just a little more…)
Lately, I haven’t become a ‘Succubus’ for the first time, have I?
I’ve been putting in that much effort.
There’s a magic that I desperately want to master.
”I thought I felt strong magical power… so it was Doll after all.”
”You’re quite impolite in a woman’s room.”
”I did knock. You just didn’t notice.”
The demon peeks through the door to my room on the third floor of the dungeon.
I can see a sad expression on his face from the doorway.
That said, this one is a ‘Three-Face.’
The other ‘smiling’ and ‘angry’ faces are just looking in different directions.
”Well, come in. It’s been a while, ‘Three-Face.’”
When I gave permission, his expression turned to a delighted ‘smile’ as he entered the room.
”So, have you finally decided to cooperate with Sir Azradelius?”
I asked as he tried to take a seat.
”No, I’ve just come to check on the progress of his search for the Demon King. ──I happened to pass by and felt quite a strong magical power.”
Saying this, the Three-Face looked at my body from head to toe.
”Hmm. It seems like your basic magical power has increased since we last met, Doll.”
He was still smiling, but still spoke in a monotone voice.
”There’s a magic I want to learn. I’m almost there.”
”Oh, you’ve been living a self-indulgent life as a woman of Azradelius, haven’t you?”
”Hm.”
”For someone. Right?”
I could see a little teasing emotion in his mechanical tone.
That’s rare.
”Ah, that has nothing to do with you.”
”Becoming strong for someone. It’s important to us demons too. Whether that “someone” is an ally or an enemy.”
”What are you trying to say?”
I glared at his smiling face.
”Don’t look so scary. I just smelled a faint scent of “human” from Doll. I don’t want you to misunderstand that.”
”What?”
”The only one I pledge my loyalty to is ‘Demon King.’ Not Azradelius. Just because someone is an ‘enemy of Azradelius’ does not mean they are ‘my enemy.’”
The Three-Face switches to the face of ‘sadness.’
”So, Doll… even if someone who influences you positively happens to be an enemy of Azradelius, it has nothing to do with me. If that person helps you gain strength… I actually find that pleasing.”
”…You’re still so philosophical, huh?”
”My only enemies are those who harm Demon King.”
It was when I stood up to offer whiskey that I had sneaked from Hiroya to a friend who came to visit after a long time.
”Doll! Let me hold you! Hand your body over to me right now!”
…That bastard showed up.
* * *
”Huh? What are you talking about? Haha… Has the Demonkin (Majin) finally lost it because Hiroya’s women don’t pay you any mind?”
”Shut up!”
”You’ve even lost an arm… how pathetic.”
As I provoked him, the furious Demonkin (Majin) charged at me and knocked me down.
”Oh my, what’s with that pathetic face? It’s clear you’re driven mad by lust.”
”You damn woman!”
The Three-Face watched this, switching to the face of ‘anger,’ tinged with just a hint of rage in their monotone voice.
”So you are Demonkin (Majin) Mr. Otto. Don’t be arrogant just because you have acquired demonic powers, you human.”
”This Demonkin (Majin) is not arrogant. After all, he is constantly being beaten by Shinji and Megumi’s boys.”
”Oh… Shinji and Megumi’s… such a great son?”
I’m pinned down, but when I hear that the child is that of Shinji and Megumi, the Three-Face nods in interest.
”You… rotten succubus!”
Demonkin (Majin) raised his right arm.
I was aiming for the moment that the fist would reach my face.
The moment when he doesn’t even have time to use ‘Magic Eye’.
”Forced teleportation!”
The next moment, I was punching the face of the Demonkin (Majin).
──I was straddling him.
”Hmm. Impressive, Doll.”
”Ahaha♡ I did it!♡”
Straddling the Demonkin (Majin), I couldn’t help but clench my fist and pose towards the Three-Face.
”W-What just happened!?”
The Demonkin (Majin), blood flowing from his mouth, looked up at me.
”It seems that Doll can’t be defiled by like you.”
The Three-Face, now wearing a ‘smiling’ face, erupted in laughter.
”Otto… is the Demonkin (Majin) Otto here?”
Sir Azradelius’s voice echoed in my room.
”Ah… I’m here.”
”…Come to me immediately.”
I jumped away from Otto and took out my prized whiskey and a glass from the cabinet in the room.
”Hurry up, Demonkin (Majin). I can’t enjoy a good drink with you around.”
”Tch… I’ll defile you one day…!”
Saying that, Otto left the room.
”I can feel the waves of resentment, but with that, he’s just a small fry like a Lesser Demon.”
”Well, it’s a small thing.”
I handed the glass to the Three-Face and toasted him.

(Azradelius’s POV)
(Finally… I found it…!)
Since the night Otto went out on a mission without permission, annihilated the monsters he led, and returned in a disgraceful manner, I had been keeping him at a distance for a while because I felt so sorry for him.
I was checking the visual memory of the ‘Shadow Monster’ that was watching over the village… and there he was.
I finally found it.
(I can’t believe he was in the village…)
Right after he was defeated, I continued to search for the Demon King who was supposed to have been reincarnated by ‘Seven Lives, One Revenge’, but I never imagined he was in their hands.
* * *
”Otto here. Let’s go in.”
In a sense, I called Otto, who was instrumental in discovering Demon King, to give him his lost left arm.
I’ll attach the amorphous magical power creature I cultivated in miasma to his left arm.
”This is difficult to control. On top of that, the consumption of magical power is large, so be careful.”
”Thank goodness! With this, I can kill that damn kid!”
(Well, I wonder how far he can goes…)
In reality, I had misjudged Otto’s power.
No, he probably can’t keep up with that boy Hiroya’s growth potential.
I feel that the gap in strength is only widening.
(Well, he should at least be able to perform a forward scout’s role.)
”Soon, we’ll launch a large-scale offensive. I hope you can make the most of your opportunity to redeem your honor.”
”Leave it to me! Right now, the annoying ones have gone hiding in the so-called Great Labyrinth and aren’t in the village. ──First, I’ll take care of the black-haired girl, the daughter of that damn knight, and that damn kid…”
Even as an ‘Ancient Demon,’ I watched as Otto, grinning with an ugly and vulgar smile, left the room.
(Indeed, even though I’ve cast a curse… it would still be troublesome if heroes like Elberhardt and Shinji, along with Milia and the kingdom’s top knight Müller, are present…)
Now that they aren’t here, it might be a good opportunity.
And──
(Not just the Demon King, but Megumi… the one I truly desire…)
I suppressed my racing heart and decided to start gathering miasma for the attack.
