The Name Is….

“Demon King Enuma”

To put it bluntly, there is no one who doesn’t know that name. That name appears in textbooks. However, I have never seen him. There are no pictures of him left. The Demon King, once defeated by my father. No way am I seeing his ghost, must be some sort of strange vision. No, it might have actually been a dream. Surely, I was somewhat frustrated and saw something weird.

Sadie appears and shouts out to wake the unconscious Terran, “Little Man!”

Waking up with a startled gasp, “Ah”

I fully regained consciousness, and realized I was in bed. This ceiling is my room. And the first thing I saw was Sadie’s face, which didn’t have her usual nasty smile and looked at me teary-eyed.

I called out to her, “Sadie…”

She replied with sweet grace, “Thank goodness, Lil’ Terran! I’m glad. you’re okay, little man.”

Suddenly, I was hugged tight. Sweet charm and soft tender nature makes me feel so good in the embrace, I am happy to feel her lovely full heart and boobs in the sweet hug.

Gathering my curiosity I asked, “Ah, S-Sadie? Um, Why?”

Sadie, still filled with worry, said, “Don’t you remember? Lil’ Terran fainted on his own within the sealed room. I didn’t know the cause, I couldn’t find any trauma, and I didn’t know what was going on. I thought the worst happened.”

I tried to reassure her, “I- I’m okay.”

Sadie asks. “How are you feeling? Do you have any issues?”

I answered, still a little hesitant, “No, I’m fine. A little light headed, but yeah.”

Sadie calming down says “Is that so?”

Sadie’s sweet scent was comforting. Then Sadie slowly got herself off me and smiled gently.

She said, “If nothing is wrong, then alright.”

My true desires are kept in my head. Oh, let’s make children already.

Sadie continues, “Maybe it’s really just exhaustion. Even if you couldn’t beat the princess, Lil’ Terran was working hard every day. Please take a good rest today. I’ll bring your meal later.”

My desire to stay connected outweighed my conscience. So I ask, “Ah, Sadie, a little longer.”

Singing Sadie rejects me full stop, “How-e-ver♪, sleeping together, I-re-fuse ♪.”

I am left speechless, with Sadie predicting my intent in momentary lapse in judgment, I stutter to respond. “Uh”

Saying that, Sadie’s smile changed from one that cared for me from the bottom of her heart and returned to her usual nasty smile, and then she went straight out of the room. For the time being, I guess she’s relieved. Damn, I don’t know what caused this, but I haven’t seen Sadie in full caretaker mode for a long time, so I wanted more and more of this.

Demon King happens to be observing the entire scene and finally speaks up, "Ah! To behold such blissful innocence. Indeed, the seed of the one who defeated me has gone feeble"

In my confusion and shock, I expressed, “Haah!?”

The Demon King's voice echoed in my head. That’s the voice I heard before I lost consciousness.

Demon King Enuma explains, "Do not be surprised. This is my spirit form. As such, I cannot harm or touch anything. However, you alone can see my appearance and hear my voice."

Saying that, with a faint presence, was the demon I saw before I lost consciousness. However, it doesn’t seem to have much substance.

My curiosity grew as I asked, “I wan-, I want to ask, you’re like a ghost, aren’t you?”

Enuma went on to explain his history, "This is so. After being destroyed by the heroes, including your father, I was unable to pass on, hence I gained a spirit body and was bound to that sword. As soon as Heero’s life became peaceful, he sealed his sword in that meager space. Never have I been out of that room or seen anyone in the last decade."

Confused, I asked, “Well, why can you talk with me?”

Enuma regretful says. "Ah. I know not."

Because it is a spiritual body, his figure looks thin. However, he exudes a strange aura just by being there. Then, if everything he says is true.

I continue to ask, “Hey, you. Putting aside being a ghost, you…… really…”

Enuma asks, “what?"

Following up after my hesitation, my question continues, “……, are you really the Demon King Enuma?”

The Demon King erupted in acknowledgement, "Indeed!"

My thoughts race out of control. This isn’t good! Wait a minute, what’s this? You mean I’m haunted by the ghost of the Demon King now? Wait a damn minute, usually you haunt the person who kills you! Why bother with the son instead of the hero himself? Am I going to be haunted forever?

Enuma says, "Child, you seem considerably perplexed. Even I do not know how this situation came about. Despite my omnipotence. No matter how much a child like you deliberate, no solution will present itself." "Rather, I am weary after the days spent in captivity this past decade. I would see a bit of the world after my demise. Child, go out to the city. Then I can go outside. In fact, that I could not exit this room is due to you staying in like this."

The self-proclaimed Demon King issues his orders to me. To be honest, I can’t determine if all this is real or not. Anyway, being told to go out all of a sudden. Regretfully, I feel like it would have been great to have someone to talk to in my bedroom. This though, seems too much to swallow. Although, he’s a ghost. So, he won’t die. It would certainly be hell. So, if I could go outside, I would want to.

Although, even if you’re the Demon King, why do you think you can order me around? I decided to drag it out, so challenging the ghost, “Hah! What omnipotence! You lost to my father.”

Enuma gasps with dissatisfaction, “Hnn"

Saying something I knew he would find unpleasant, seems to have worked well. Unexpectedly!

The legendary Demon King raised his eyebrows at my words. "Now listen here, son of Heero."

I retort with smugness, “Oh, the Great Demon King is also short-tempered. You’re going to let a little ribbing from a kid get to you.”

Enuma starts to boil in anger, "You-"

I continue to say, “Anyway, since you can only talk, but can’t harm me, I’ll decide what I’m going to do. Don’t give me any orders.”

Because my opponent is in a situation where his hands and feet are tied, I feel sorry for him. But, if the other party is really a Great Demon King, then this is an opportunity of a lifetime, I have to stand my ground.

Then, my words made the Demon King Enuma glare at me, as his neat face twitched.

Enuma eloquently said, "Hmm. Ignorant of my terror. Is that right? To address me in such a manner. I, the All-Powerful Demon King. Even as a spirit, I can rectify this matter! Could I not annihilate you with my power, and swallow this world into the Demon’s abyss once more?"

I rebuttled his statement, “No, you were trapped in a room because you couldn’t do that, right?”

The Demon King Enuma falters mentally after the rebuttal, "………… Hu… Oh… Well… umm… Well, that is… t- thi is not…"

I prideful continue to talk down to Enuma, “Hey, hey, is he bewildered for the first time in ten years? Did the Great Demon King, who almost destroyed the world, just lost an argument to an Academy student?”

The Great Demon King suddenly got confused and was getting agitated. Oh, I’m starting to think this isn’t the Great Demon King, and I felt quite pitiful. I said, “Hah, can’t be helped. Fine. I’ll take a walk before dinner.”

Enuma heard what I said was astonished, "Huh!? "

I happily retorted, “Rather, it’s just for a bit today.”

Enuma acknowledged with an evil laugh, "Kokukoku Kokukoku!"

When I got out of bed and said so, the Demon King was joyously mumbling like a bright faced child. Oh, it seems the dignity of the first Demon King is completely crushed.

Sadie interrupts the moment, “Oh, where are you going, Little Man?”

I was so startled that I jumped. “Ah!?”

Sadie came into the room after a light knock. “Besides, it seems you were talking to yourself, what are you up to? Is your current ailment a step in the plan to bed me?”

It dawns on me that to the people around me, all the conversations with the Demon King sound like my monologue.

Sadie “Furthermore, you changed clothes. You were to take a good rest today.”

I replied, “Oh, no, a little walk in the city.”

Sadie, “I’ll blow you away, Little man.”

I start to sweat nervously, “Eeeh!?”

Saying that, Sadie instantly got into the room and grabbed my cheeks and smiled. Enuma announced, "Hah~ This maid! She is formidable."

The voice of admiration from the Demon King. Yes, when she’s serious, she’s much stronger than the princess was today. That’s why it’s a miserable story, my chance of winning right now is non-existent. Sadie says, “Nu-fu-fu, most troubling, little man. Today, I was intent on pampering my Lil’ Terran, feed him dinner myself, washing his body in the bath, might even overlook some mild sexual harassment in the bathroom. Alas.”

I panicked as the explanation, “Eh!? S-seriously!? No, un, I’ll behave! No, I’m really sick!”

Sadie smirks “Seems you’re doing well enough. So, having skipped afternoon classes. Let’s have you solve all the problems I created about magic mathematics that would have been covered in this afternoon’s class!”

I regretfully scream “Sadiiiiie!!??”

Sadie demanding “You’re forbidden from leaving until everything is solved, else you’ll do without dinner. So, good luck? Try to escape, and I have plenty to report.”

Sadie walked out of the room, leaving angry words promising punishment with a smile. No way, if I had kept silent, I would have been in heaven. Instead, I was knocked back down to hell.

I in selfish rage say, “Damn, The Demon King, you ruined my moment!”

Enuma replies, No, even if you say that, no, yes, well! My apologies."

I am lost in my dreams rather than reality, “Damn, maybe I could have made progress with Sadie today, instead, I get more work than usual. Ah, dammit, but again. Aaaaaah!”

The Demon King, who has lost his dignity, apologized awkwardly to the cries from my heart that missed many delicious opportunities.
