The World after the Demon King’s Fall

Memory of Sadie reaction――In such a short time, all answers are correct, My little man. At last, my lessons are going through. as she giggles ~Yoyoyo

And so, with tears of joy, Sadie granted me permission to go out before dinner.

All questions were answered correctly in a short time. I’ve never had such a pleasant feeling, I said to the Demon King, “Well, as thanks I’ll take you where you like.”

Enuma thught for a moment, "Um. Then go where is most prosperous. "

In reply I said, “Oh, leave it to me.”

I got out of the mansion, passed through the high-end residential area, and arrived at the downtown area, which is also the center of the Imperial city. Enuma made observations, "A lot of development, there is no air of slaughter as during the war, Such positivity. It is so peaceful."

Curiously, I pondered what might be my thoughts might be first time seeing this with my mature eyes.

Enuma continued, "And this is those fellows, the world they gained by overthrowing me."

Outside for the first time in over ten years. The Sky. The City. Civilization. And a lot of people. It may be complicated for Enuma, a demon and enemy of mankind, but it was also the moment when he was finally able to go out into the world. That’s why Enuma was silently watching the scene in front of him for a while. Random conversations are being spoken as life rolls on.

“Oh, I’m tired! I don’t know, I’m up for a drink today.”

“Hehe, welcome. Your wife would like this.

“Nah! Move along buddy. Get lost!!”

A scene that spreads. It’s a common “daily life”.

“Mama, what’s for dinner today?”

“Well, what do you want?”

“Steak!”

“That’s right. Today is Daddy’s payday, so I think I’ll splurge a little.”

Men on their way home from work. Housewives with children shopping for dinner. There were many young students at the end of the school day chatting with their friends while leaving school.

Curious, I ask, “So, what do you think of this?”

Enuma, irritated says, "It is absolutely deplorable. A gathering of wretched human filth. Living their feeble lives with constant chatter and smiles. How I wish to exterminate them right now."

Even though it’s a spirit body, his cold eyes sent a shiver down my spine, and I was conscious of his bloodlust. The guy I thought would be useful to my selfish needs was still the Demon King.

Enuma continued, "However, no matter what my opinion. I am the defeated Demon King. As such, at most I shall ascertain my impressions. My actions can have no consequence on the future."

There, at least I didn’t feel any resentment or hatred. On the contrary, reflecting on his own outlook made him laugh out loud. Looking at his back he seemed a little aggrieved, but the Great Demon King nodded convincingly.

I ask, “Is that so?”

Enuma replied, "Well, I have yet to convince you. Nothing I can do about it now."

Yes, it can’t be helped anymore. Just because I was the only one who could see and hear his voice, it is not possible for the Demon King to affect the world now.

That’s why all he can do is to see the world my father and his comrades have won through me.

I feel a little pity for this guy who can only do that, but I decided not to ask any more questions, because it was not my place to say anything about it. However, this is how the Demon King is feeling honestly and hearing that I asked other things I was concerned with.

I asked with curiosity, “Hey the Hero, My father. Was he strong?”

Taken aback and recalled his memories, "Huh? Heero?"

I mention further “Ah. I’m my father’s son, but I haven’t had any practice with him, and now we’re at peace, so I’ve never seen him fight seriously.”

My father is a great existence who I can’t avoid always being compared to. However, I do not know father’s actual ability because I only know the achievements and honors that he accomplished. In that respect, he and my father were adversaries who fought to kill each other. In a sense, it is no exaggeration to say that he knows my father’s power more than anyone else.

Enuma in deep thought, "Heero… my opinion of your father… Or rather, the Heroes… "

With a slightly serious expression, Enuma says, "The Hero party was very unfair and could not read the situation! That is no hyperbole to say they know not the meaning of fair and square! Aaaah, so abominable!! The very height of cowardice! How is that acceptable? At the final battle… They invaded the Great Demon Palace…. and the seven warriors led by Heero reached my base.”

I was astonished but realized he sentiment, “Seven people? Oh, The Seven Heroes of Humanity.”

Enuma continued reciting the past, "Yes! However, usually when it comes to that junction, should single battle between the Demon King and the strongest hero not decide the fate of the world? However, all seven attacked in unison! Including your mother!"

The Demon King’s aura, which seemed to have revived a little while ago blows up in a rage that hit with such furious momentum. "Moreover, as if it was not ridiculous enough, that Heero. 'Humanity all over the world, grant us your power' to implore such an outrageous tactic, and all mankind did send power to Heero, beaten I was by a huge sword that combined all that power together! Absolutely unfair!"

If you stand on the side of the heroes and listen, you would be moved as the heart of humanity united as one. However, from his point of view, it is certainly a bit unfair to have to fight alone against all of humanity.

I question his claims of unfairness “But as the leader of the Demon army, you would have to represent your side. At that time, did your subordinates–“

Enuma interrupted, "No more questions. Enough for today! Show me the city again tomorrow!"

When it seemed the mood became awkward, the Demon King immediately derailed the conversation to forcibly bring it to an end. Apparently, it was a subject I should not touch.

I realize my schedule mentioned, “Ugh, but I’ll be at the academy tomorrow, so it’ll have to be afterwards.”

Enuma was pleased with the situation, "Worry not. I am also interested in the institutions that nurture human warriors."

For the time being, it seems that there is no harm to me, and this one can’t do anything. I’ve been possessed by something strange, but I can go along with it for a little bit.

On the path back home, the Demon King stops me on the way to the mansion. "Hmm? Child. The books that are stacked in the bookstore over there and some promotion, but… "

Looking back, the Demon King was looking at a bookstore with a small crowd in front. Come to think of it, I’m sure today. I rolled my eyes and said “Oh. ‘Destiny Grand Order’ released today. “

The sequel to the world-famous series of novels will be released. I’m not interested in current popular things.

Enuma is still curious, "Wh- what? Does it have anything to do with ‘Destiny Stay Night’?"

I recognize the title, “Ah, was that an early entry from about twenty years ago? It’s been made into a series, but--”

Enuma asks "What? It is now a series?"

At that time, the Demon King looked as if he had been struck by lightning. No, the Demon King, who by all means should have been able to receive a high-level lightning spell with no damage, opened his mouth with a really shocked expression.

Enuma was fully enamored, says abruptly, "Oi, purchase it."

I am confused and reply, “What, why would the Demon King want a human book?”

Enuma proudly states, "Race has nothing to do with culture! I read it long ago. I despise your people, but that story fascinates me."

As I learn something interesting about the fearsome spirit “Oh! Are you really the Demon King?”

Enuma is getting impatient stomps, and says, "Really! Now go on, child present it to me!"

I still stubborn, not wanting to have anything to do with the popular story. I say, “Why me!? Also, how will you read even if I bought it! You can’t touch books.”

Enuma cleverly pushes more work on to me, saying, "You can turn the pages! Do not mock me!"

At first, I was irritated. Him being all self-important, but in the end, he seemed very pitiful. Well, if it’s just one book, I am curious to see his reaction to reading it. So, admitting I say, “Aah, okay already. I’ll buy it for you.”

Enuma beamed, "A worthy cause!"

He’s so delighted with just that. For now, I’m just going to wait and see what happens. Enuma suddenly recalled an issue. Saying, "However, can you buy it? That book had depictions of some extremes in the early days and should have been age restricted."

Confused and unaware, I replied “Huh? Is that so? No, I’m sure it’s been rewritten for all ages.”

Enuma decided to keep encouraging me to get the book, indicating his simple tactic to buying, cleverly he said, "If restrictions apply, there are other ways. I once bought two reference books for my studies and put them in between them."

I was astonished, I stared with reply, “Wait, you also use the sandwich strategy when buying naughty books?”

I go ahead and enter the store to make the purchase.
