Chapter 20

Parting with Vermudol, Ykslaas walked down the hallway of the Demon King’s Castle. Randomly waving at the Magic Operated Armor patrolling the inside of the castle, she climbed up the stairs to the second floor.

As she looked out the window towards the back court, she saw Vermudol swinging his sword again. Watching him from afar, she smiled wryly at the visitor near the window.

「If you’re going to watch him from over here, you should go join him.」

「I’m just passing by. I wasn’t really watching him.」

「Oh, is that so?」

It was Ichika. Out of everyone in the Demon King’s Castle, she was the closest to Vermudol, but despite being such a prominent figure, she didn’t really have an established position.

However, judging from the type of work that she does, in other kingdoms, she would probably be considered to be in a secretarial position. In addition to supporting and managing the roles of each division of the central army, she also takes care of all the miscellaneous work around the castle. It seems that she tries to rely on the Maid unit whenever possible, but even then, she handles incredible amounts of work on her own.

Also, being a Mazoku Maid Knight, she was one of the top fighters among the Demon King Army. Though the near-perfect Ichika swears loyalty to the Demon King Vermudol, Ykslaas has noticed that she’s been showing signs of feelings towards him that could go beyond loyalty.

The first time these feelings came to the surface was when she went out to the city with Nino and Rokuna.

Well, it isn’t just Ichika. Rokuna is the same way, and Nino as well. Many of the people in the Maid unit, even Crim, Marin, and Lemon, had some sort of liking for Vermudol. They were attracted not by the charisma of being a Demon King, but by some charm of Vermudol’s personality.

「Well, it isn’t my business, anyway. Good night, Ichika.」

「Good night, Ykslaas.」

After she watched Ykslaas walk away, Ichika left as well.

Not even imagining that such a conversation was being held, Vermudol continued to swing his sword in the back garden.

Gordy, who had been flying through the skies around the castle, was now nowhere to be seen. Vermudol remembered the shape of Gordy’s sword and kept practicing, adjusting his stance every second. After repeatedly practicing the same movement, Vermudol lowered his sword and took a deep breath.

「…Ichika. Are you there?」

「Yes. Are you in need of anything?」

Without turning around, Vermudol asked this of Ichika, who had instantly appeared behind him to answer his question.

「I remembered something that I needed to ask you.」

「Ask me… What is it?」

「Oh…」

Vermudol says this as if he were trying to make small talk, shortly nodding his head.

「It’s about Reina.」

Hearing these words, Ichika froze… However, her expression unchanging, she waited for Vermudol to continue.

Ichika had been used by the God Philia, reincarnated countless times with her memories still intact. In one of the many lives that she’s lived, she met the legendary Maid Knight Reina and studied under her. To
