“Hey, um, Suzuno?”
“What?”
“I got her beat when it comes to womanly charm, don’t I? Huh? Don’t I?”
“…I couldn’t say,” Suzuno replied to Amane’s furtive query.
“I don’t think she even realizes she’s supposed to be competing with you, dude.”
“H-hey…” Rika turned to Urushihara. “Is that manager, like, some kind of superwoman, too?”
“Uh? What makes you say that?”
“I mean, the Devil King’s practically her lapdog, right? Like, he’s supposed to be this grand pooh-bah of the devil world, isn’t he? Like some kind of god?”
“Kisaki’s just a regular Japanese woman,” Chiho interjected. “Just like you and me.”
“Ooooh! Chiho!”
Acieth quietly squealed with delight as Chiho, duster in hand, came closer to them.
“She is, huh? But…you call him Devil King, and I’ve seen him make Acieth appear and disappear and stuff, so I’m just wondering, like, why is Maou spending his time working some Joe Schmoe job like this?”
“It is something”—here, Suzuno took a sip of coffee for dramatic pause—“that baffles me to this day, yes.”
She was being honest with Rika. Maou tended to whine a lot about his lack of demonic force, but he still had at least a bare minimum stored inside him. Suzuno could tell. And she knew it would be more than enough to let Maou obtain all the money he wanted via illegal means—or mind-control Kisaki into giving him an hourly raise, for that matter. Whether it’d be worth expending magical force to do that was a question Suzuno chose not to ponder.
“I had thought,” Chiho suddenly said, “that it’s because Maou’s such a nice and serious-minded person…”
She turned to the register counter, finding Kisaki lecturing Maou on the seven habits of highly effective coffee pourers. Both he and Chiho had passed the required certification exam, but there was still a whole other dimension between that and earning Kisaki’s godlike coffee-making skills. Thus, ever since advancing into MgCafé, Maou had continued taking every chance to hone his bean-grinding techniques during slow times at work.
“If I had to guess,” Chiho continued, “he had all that power at his fingertips back during his king days, so…probably, he’s come to realize as a human that there’s not a lot he can do by himself.”
“Oh?” Suzuno prodded.
“I know this might put you and Yusa off a little, but something tells me that once Maou took over Ente Isla, he was intending to treat humans and demons as equals, at the end of it.”
The Suzuno of a while ago would have immediately fired back and shouted Chiho down before the argument went any further. Instead, she remained frozen, waiting for her to continue.
“Why d’you think that?” Urushihara asked instead.
“Because I met Camio.”
“Camio?” he shot back. It wasn’t a name he expected to come up. The jet-black avian warrior and current Devil Regent, Camio had appeared on the Choshi beach while the demons were working at Amane’s shop. Currently he was ruling over the demon realms in Maou’s stead—and given the unblemished politeness he showed Chiho, he must have been shrewd at it.
“And… I mean, you and Maou and Ashiya all look a lot different in demon form, but Camio was way more different.
