Chapter 486: 486

Although I had experienced one of the biggest crises ever, the rest of the ride went on without any problems, circling around the large grassland and returning to where Neun-san was .

When we got there, Neun-san came up to us…… looking pale .

[……W- Welcome back . U- Ummm…… I heard what Magnawell-sama said earlier…… I- Is Zwei-sama coming?]

[S- She’s not coming! I mean, if she’s coming, I’ll run away, okay!?]

Catching Lynn as she flew towards my embrace, I listened to the conversation they were having . Neun-san was apparently also afraid of this Zwei-san fellow? Seriously, what kind of person is she?

[Ummm…… Is this Zwei-san really that scary?]

[……H- Hmmm . Rather than scary……]

[Zwei-sama is, how should I say this…… She’s strict to others just as she’s strict to herself…… Especially if someone acts in a way that degrades Kuromu-sama’s reputation, they will receive a long and stern scolding……]

When I asked what kind of person Zwei-san was, Dr . Vier and Neun-san responded with a rather complicated expression on their faces . Seeing as their words were even slurring, they must be pretty scared about her……

[Sister Zwei is the oldest one in the family, except for the Six Kings-sama and Sister Ein . Without a doubt, she’s the busiest one among our family . ]

[Busiest? Is she doing some work or something?]

[Unnn . Kuromu-sama is one of the Six Kings after all . About one-fifth of the Demon Realm is recognized as Kuromu-sama’s land . But, you see, Miyama-kun already knows about this, but Kuromu-sama doesn’t like ruling over others or anything like that, right?]

[That’s right . ]

Although Kuro is a powerful being, she does not consider herself superior to anyone else . She may show her majesty when she needs to act as one of the Six Kings, but she basically doesn’t like standing above anyone else .

Kuro sees Dr . Vier and Neun-san as “family”…… She treats them as equals . Territory management is probably not the most appropriate word when one thinks of Kuro .

[And in place of such a Kuromu-sama, the one who rules the land owned by Kuromu-sama is Sister Zwei . And she’s handling a fifth of this vast Demon Realm…… Handling all of it made her very busy . ]

[I see…… Incidentally, who is it that manages the other members of the Six Kings’ lands?]

[Lillywood-sama and Magnawell-sama are in charge of their own lands . Megiddo-sama doesn’t manage his lands at all, but he had excellent subordinates, so he seems to be getting by . As for Isis-sama…… There are no beings living on her land to begin with, so there’s nothing for her to manage . As for Shalltear-sama…… Well, people don’t even know where she is, so no one really knows if she even has a land of her own . ]

[………………… . ]

……She’s currently hiding behind me after all .

However, I see now . Zwei-san is something like a Feudal Lord, and from Dr . Vier and Neun-san’s reactions, she seems to be a very strict person .

As I think about this, a smile appears on Neun-san’s lips as she continues .

[If Ein-sama is supporting Kuromu-sama out in the open, Zwei-sama is the one supporting her behind the scenes . She’s a very dependable person . ]

[Hmmm, from what I’ve heard, she sounded like a serious and hardworking person…… And yet, the two of you are afraid of Zwei-san?]

[……I’m scared . ]

[……Yes, I’m scared of her . ]

“Why are they this afraid of her?” With this question in mind, I waited for them to speak .

[……Zwei-sama is a very strict person . Especially with one’s personal appearance……]

[Also, she would sermon someone for a long time…… an insanely long time . Sister Zwei would always prioritize the family, but she’ll cancel all of her other plans just “to lecture you for hours” . ]

[H- Huhh……]

[The first time I met her, I was so nervous that I greeted her in full body armor . And then……]

[And then?]

[She shattered my armor with her bare hands, and made me sit in a seiza for a three-hour sermon . I was really scared at that time . ]

[………………]

[Ahh~~ Me too . After I got home for the first time in a thousand years, she caught me…… beat me up and scolded me for five hours…… I was brought to tears that day, and it wasn’t because I was moved . ]

……T- That sounds freaking scary! I see, I understand now…… So, Zwei-san is something like a Demonic Teacher type? To be honest, I’m not really good with people like her . I’m quite sloppy after all, so if I met her, she’d probably give me one heck of a scolding .

[Well, I know that Sister Zwei is just scolding us because she’s worried about us . ]

[Yes, that shows how much she cares about us, so I’m rather grateful . ]

[ [ However…… the length of her sermon…… it’s just a bit…… ] ]

Just the thought of sitting in a seiza and being scolded for several hours certainly is terrifying . I wonder if I’ll have a chance to meet in the future . I- It would be great if she doesn’t scold me though……

Dear Mom, Dad————– Zwei-san is apparently a very serious hard worker and a very strict person . And since she cares about her family, she’s strictly guiding them———— She really feels more like a teacher type .

In the office that had an emphasis on functionality, a woman was sitting at her desk, processing a mountain of documents .

The pen in the woman’s hand moved without pause, dealing with an unusual amount of paperwork in the blink of an eye .

After clearing away all the piles of papers on her desk in a few dozen minutes, the woman put down her pen and muttered to herself .

[……Things have been doing well huh . Thanks to the fact that most of the powerful people are participating in the Six Kings Festival, some leeway opened up on my schedule . ]

When she had said that much, the woman opened a drawer in her desk and took out a luxurious black-coated card . Then, she held it in her hand, as if it was important, staring at it with a small smile on her lips .

[In the Six Kings Festival…… I’m sure “that person” would also be there too . If it’s possible, I would like to meet him once…… I guess I should visit him huh……]

Softly muttering that, the woman put the card in her hand back in the drawer before leaving the office, carrying the mountain of papers with ease .

The card that the woman who usually doesn’t show her emotion, looking like a girl who admires her hero…… is actually an identification card with “Miyama Kaito Adoration Association Member No . 8” written with golden letters in it, though the person himself is unaware that such an association exists at the moment .

Serious-senpai ZERO : [……The heck is this . Let’s see, according to the manual…… I went back to origin?]

Serious-senpai ZERO : [No, no, no matter how many times you multiply anything to 0, it would still be 0! N- No, but this is…… Should I be happy that my Serious Power isn’t negative anymore, or should I be sad that it was 0…… H- Hmmm . ]
