Battle of the Holy City

——Western Holylight.

Having Quick Traveled out of the stronghold, the Demon Lord was enjoying a smoke while he gazed at the stars. They twinkled all the same, indifferent to the thousands of lives that had been snuffed out. In fact, they seemed to shine all the brighter, as if in celebration of the Demon Lord’s victory.

Reminds me of the night sky I saw by the Secret Base, the Demon Lord recalled. The divine beast tilted its head curiously and followed its new master’s gaze skyward. It, too, hadn’t seen the stars in a long time. A thought came to the Demon Lord from the shimmering sky, so he sent a Communication to Olgan. “It’s been a while. How are you?”

“This is sudden...” Olgan replied, her breath catching in surprise.

“I know it’s late,” the Demon Lord said, realizing that this probably seemed like he was drunk-texting her. “And I don’t have a good reason for calling either.”

“You never need a reason to call me. Even if you called every day, I would not grow tired of your voice.”

“Every day?” The Demon Lord chuckled. What were they, a long-distance couple?

Olgan, however, had spoken with utmost sincerity. She hadn’t seen the Demon Lord once since they parted in Hellion territory. If she were to see him now, wearing the Fallen Angel wings on his back, her feelings for him would only grow stronger. “All this time, I’ve longed to hear your voice.”

“I-Is that so...? Then I’m glad.” The Demon Lord scratched his head, unsure how else to react to Olgan’s directness. He’d had plenty of romantic encounters—more than he cared to admit—and usually felt confident fielding advances. But one as genuine and forthcoming as Olgan’s was giving the Demon Lord a run for his money.

“Rumor has it there’s a civil war in Holylight,” Olgan Communicated.

“That just wrapped up.”

“Wrapped up, huh? You make it sound so easy... Holylight was once a complex knot of political factions pining for power, motivated by old grudges.”

“These central nobles were getting tiresome, so I took them out of the equation.”

Olgan nearly laughed. Pity the Central faction had been wiped out for the crime of being tiresome. Of course, only the Demon Lord and his advisors could have dreamed of eliminating the central nobles altogether. “You sure know how to make ripples... I can’t wait to see you.”

“Once the dust settles in Holylight,” the Demon Lord said with a straight face, after leaving Tahara to handle every step of the postwar dealings. Part of him wondered if he’d find himself in an unskippable, X-rated cutscene if he dared to see Olgan in person again.

“It seems like every day I spend in the North, I hear whispers of your deeds.”

“What deeds? I’m just living a normal life.”

“Is that what you call dethroning Jack in Euritheis?”

“Oh? I might recall that particular incident,” the Demon Lord said noncommittally. Apparently, he couldn’t be bothered to remember events that no longer interested him.

For everyone else, Jack’s downfall was no trivial matter.
