Black Iron Magician

Chapter 179 Whoa!

Hund left the meeting place, showing his back that looked as if he was walking totteringly. On the other hand, Alezel was called by Lilyvia to an empty room. The room is far away from the room where the subordinates are waiting, so their voices won’t be heard unless they are shouting.

「So, why did you call me to a place like this? Given that you are a succubus, are you gonna do lewd things to me?

「Fufu… If that’s true, what are you going to do?」

「No, don’t return boke with boke…. Eh, are you serious?」

(TLn: boke, google)

Alezel took a step back when Lilyvia approached with a bewitching sex appeal. However, the exit door is blocked by Black and Red. The miser elf is in a serious pinch――

「… Are we gonna continue this farce? As for me, I don’t mind go along with it a little longer.」

「No, it’s not necessary at all. What the hell is that exchange…?」

「Please, stop it, it’s making my eyes rot.」

Everyone unraveled their posture as if their composure had returned. At the same time, while saying those words, Black took off his jet-black hood and Red took off her bright red helmet. The ones who revealed their identities are Deris and Nell. For some reason, Deris and Nell, who were supposed to go on their honeymoon, became Lilyvia’s subordinates and attended the meeting of the Great Eight Demons.

「That’s something I can’t accept. Succubuses are those who control lust, and you are telling me, their ruler, to stop? What an interesting joke, Red.」

Deris and Nell revealed their true identity. However, Lilyvia’s attitude hasn’t changed and she’s still treating them as her subordinates. Her lazy and good-for-nothing appearance can’t be seen anywhere and her appearance now is that of a Demon King. Her outfit is not a maid outfit, but a custom-made dark purple Demon King outfit.

「Aah, it’s useless. I’m not good with Lily in this state…」

「She’s completely become Lilyvia as one of the Great Eight Demons using her 『Acting』 skill after all. For a while, she’s completely the Demon King of Lust, so it’s useless to say anything now.」

「How cold of you, Black. If you follow me, I’ll feed you for the rest of your life and let you live a lazy sexual life.」

「That’s the opposite of our normal position… And hey, it’s lazy life. You got the wrong letter there.」

As a gadabout, Lilyvia plays seriously when it comes to her play. Once she has started acting, it’s not easy for her to stop. The two seem to have a hard time with Lilyvia in this state, and they seem to be unable to speak in the usual way. Both are at their wit’s end, troubled by this situation.

「Kuhihihi…! Oh my, it seems that you two are still the same!」

「You too, Alezel. It seems that you’re still doing good business as usual. Can you strengthen the sales of the scrolls in your company’s magic item store a little more? I’ve been finding more and more uses for them lately.」

「Hohou. It seems that you’ve been buying a lot lately. Thanks for your patronage. I’ll talk about it to Owner next time. Try to come again after a while, ‘kay? Really, Deris pays well and I like it~」

「Well, we’re adventurer friends in the old days. If you want, I’ll be a good customer at your place.」

The sixth rank of the Great Eight Demons, Alezel Quitet of 『Awe』. She’s the Demon King of the Great Eight Demons, the president of the general trading company Quitet―― and was also a former adventurer companion of Deris and Nell.

「That sure is nostalgic… Nell rushed in, I extorted the money, and Deris extinguished the fire. Really, those were fulfilling days. Although not as much as now, we were making a lot of money.」

「Aah, right. At that time, I was only thinking about rushing, even so, Deris would do something later so it felt really good. I could go wild without worries after all!」

「You guys were doing whatever you want too much. Destroying a fortress, kidnapping an important person… I thought I was going to go bald at a young age back then…」

「See, Black. After all, you’ll be happier if you come under my wing.」

「You might be right…」

「Hey, don’t be so easily swayed by that good-for-nothing maid!」

It was more than ten years ago that they were adventurers for a living. Deris, someone who got transported from another world, by chance met Nell, who was about 10 years ago at that time, and fortunately or unfortunately had a party with Alezel. It was the birth of a fearsome party that shook the world of the Demon King of that era.

「Hihi, hihihi…! Haa, that was funny! So, what’s your business? You ain’t here to reminisce, right?」

「W-Well, yeah. Actually, we have something to report, right?」

「Yes, well… it’s a trivial matter, but it’s actually pretty important, right?」

「What’s with you two? You’re weird. What’s wrong?」

Deris and Nell suddenly become inconsistent and begin to return ambiguous answers. The two then look at each other several times and open their mouths as if they have finally made up their mind.

「「… We are getting married.」」

「Hmm.」

「「………」」

「… Eh, are you serious?」

When Alezel, who slightly returned to her normal way of speaking, asked so, Deris and Nell nodded with a meek face.

「Whoa, whoaaa… H-How many years have passed until the love came to fruition, eh? At that time, Nell was about 10 years old, so she’s now 25? No, maybe 26―― Whoa! Whoa!」

「Oh, shut up! It’s fine since it paid off in the end! I’ll burn and melt you, you know!?」

「How can I not be excited about this!? This is a major happening of the century!」

After that, a localized and fierce battle unfolded for about ten minutes. Probably satisfied, they became relatively quiet. Needless to say about the disastrous scene of the room, but it seems that they were holding back that at least the shape of the room remained.

「Well, that’s why we’re going on our honeymoon after this meeting is over… and we have a favor to ask.」

「Hihi, I somehow guessed it. You wanna use our summer resort for your honeymoon, right? Sure. You made me laugh a lot, so I’ll get you a suite room at a special discount price. Also, we were adventurer companions in the old days after all!」

「Thanks, I always appreciate your help. I’ll let you know when the wedding date is set.」

「Hmph. I will say my thanks this once. Make sure you come to the wedding.」

「Gotcha.」

The summer resort in the elf forest owned by Alezel is very popular and so successful that reservations are filled up for the next year if you are not lucky. When it comes to the only suite room there, even staying only one night is so expensive that you could build a quite large building. Being able to skip the waiting turn and take that room is thanks to the favor of Alezel, the company president. Normally, it won’t happen even if the other party is a king.

「Still, that Nell is getting married, huh~… I thought that Lily would take Deris while Nell is wasting her time hesitating, you know? She’s more or less something like a rival. As for Lily, did you give up on your beloved Deris?」

「Hah, I’m the king who rules over lust. Without being driven by jealousy, I will congratulate them when I should. Besides, the form of love is not just one. I will win Black in another way.」

And that’s the mistress slot.

「O-Oh, is that so… Yeah, this is definitely going to be a little crazy…」

「Right?」

「I will definitely stop her…!」

Anyway, Deris and Nell successfully decided on the destination of their trip and spent a week leisurely. In the meantime, Lilyvia, who has become a capable woman, returned to her own territory for the first time in a long time to take care of her accumulated work.
