Three days have passed since I was appointed as a Demon General. Three days for these goats to finish my floor. And I liked the way it looked.
It's like I was taken straight from an anime, a classic Japanese dojo.
I just imagine that people will come here, hoping to defeat one of the Demon Generals, in the person of me, but then they will realize that I am even stronger than the Demon Queen herself, I will be like a hidden boss.
Melacia, also often visited me, and yes... We became friends with her in yuri content, she writes her novels, in which Velverosa and Mallory often appear, she does quite well, only her novels do not sell, which also upset me.
I'm sure that somewhere in the office there are fucking straight people, and just seeing a yuri novel, they immediately reject them.
During these three days, I also returned to Mondstadt several times, took quests from the guild, and earned more moras. I mostly spent time with Noel, training, and also walked with Amber, or rather joined her patrol of the area.
I had thoughts of showing Noel, the portal and inviting her to that world, but I decided not to do it for now, not that I was worried or anything like that...
I sat in the lotus position and read the new novel that Melacia wrote, it was a little different from the previous ones, because of its gloom, but still not bad.
Yandere Velverosa... Scary!
During these three days, I did not see Mallory anymore, but I hope she will come soon, I would like to talk to her. This girl is quite interesting.
As I learned from Melacia, Mallory is #1 in the adventurer academy, which means she is very strong and only she always gets to the demon queen's floor. Although for the most part, all the demon generals love her, and I support her desire to be with the demon queen.
"Earlier, this door was locked!" I heard a male voice.
"Jack, be careful, it might be a trap." - it was a female voice.
"Cynthia, don't be afraid, I can defeat any demon general!" -
"No, Cynthia is right, Jack, this is very strange, the guild reports did not say anything about this floor, and it even looks strange on its own." - another female voice rang out
Oh, I have my first visitors!
I walked out of the side room with the portals, and immediately saw three people.
It was a team consisting of one man, who was apparently a knight, and two girls, one of whom was a witch and the other an archer.
"Look Jack!" the witch exclaimed, pointing at me.
"Cynthia, Elvira, prepare for battle! We will defeat this demonic spawn, and then we will go after the queen of demons!" he exclaimed, drawing his sword.
"Bold words, for a walking corpse!" I said arrogantly. I always wanted to play a villain who acts arrogantly, and humiliates the enemy.
"We are not afraid of you demon, we have come to destroy you!" he shouted and ran at me. While the witch began to chant a spell, and the archer pulled the bowstring.
As soon as the knight ran up to me, he was about to stab me with his sword, but I put my scabbard in block, blocking his sword.
"Is that all you can do? How pathetic!" I pushed the knight away, hitting him in the side with my scabbard.
"You're a bitch!" he screamed, rushing towards me again.
And again I dodged his blow, simultaneously blocking the arrow that the archer shot with my scabbard.
"Jack, step back, I'll defeat her with my magic!" the witch screamed, and the guy immediately stepped away from me, and the witch shot me a fireball, but compared to the fireball of the demon queen, it was just a match.
Over these three days, I sparred with the demon queen several times, she wanted to see my strength, and I saw no reason to refuse her. Although there was no winner in our sparring, although if I had given it my all, I would most likely have won.
And again, not finishing the katana, I put up a block, and her entire fireball was simply absorbed into my sheath, and I then pointed the sheath at her, sending her ball back to her. Yes, I can use my sheath as a catalyst for magic, and if necessary, absorb magic and send it back, only much stronger than it was before I absorbed it.
The witch put up a barrier, hoping to protect herself, only she did not take into account that this ball was much stronger than she sent me.
And in a matter of seconds, it killed her.
"CYNTHIA! I WILL KILL YOU DEMON!" - the knight screamed
"Jack, calm down!" - the archer exclaimed.
"NO, THIS BITCH WILL PAY FOR CYNTHIA'S DEATH!" - God, as if I really killed her. She'll be resurrected in the next few hours, and you're acting like this...
He charged at me again, only now her mind was filled with anger over the death of his friend.
I rolled my eyes and simply dodged his blows, catching arrows along the way.
"STOP DODGING BITCH!" he shouted.
"No!" I replied, smirking, which made him even more angry.
Only this time, I started hitting him all over his body with the sheath.
"Argh..." he groaned in pain.
"What, you can't even hit me once? How pathetic you are!" I said
"YOU…"- he didn't have time to finish, as I hit him with my scabbard with all my might, on the head, so as to kill him instantly. I was just tired of this weakling, I didn't want to play with him anymore.
Then I looked at the only survivor, who was trembling with fear.
Smiling, I slowly walked towards her.
"Eep! Don't come near me, demon, otherwise I…"
"Otherwise what? No need to be afraid, my dear, I'm a pretty kind demon, I won't hurt you."- I said and began to smile even more.
That girl immediately fainted.
"Did I go too far?"- I asked myself.
Although I don't understand how anyone can be afraid of me, I don't even remotely resemble a demon. I had a cute appearance, cute ears, and a cute katana...
People in this world are strange!
Oh, she disappeared, just like the knight and the witch. So she died of fear?
"I didn't think you were like that." I heard a familiar voice I wanted to talk to.
"Hello, Mallory!" I said, smiling.
"Hello." She replied.
"Actually, I just decided to play the villain."
"Oh, I see! Although this one doesn't match your appearance."
"Well, I would have agreed with you if that archer hadn't died of fright!" I told her.
"That's true," She replied.
"Are you going to the demon queen?" I asked.
"Yeah, but I don't mind chatting with you!"
Afterwards, we talked about various topics, often she talked about her great love for the demon queen. She also told me about her past.
When she was still little, her parents sold her into slavery, but one day, the demon queen raided the place where she was, and thus she fell in love with her, because she saved her, although other demons wanted to kill her, the demon queen did not let them do it.
I wonder, what is the real age of the demon queen? And how big is the gap between her and Mallory, since in Mallory's childhood, the demon queen was already an adult. And can this relationship be normal. After all, Mallory is an ordinary person, which means it will be difficult for her to live only as long as the demon queen. Well, I'm sure she will find a way to prolong her life, after all, this is a world of swords and magic, there must be magic or an artifact capable of this.
Another thing that made me laugh. The teacher who taught Mallory magic wants to be the first to see Mallory's children from the Demon Queen, that is, little dragons! I have no doubt that they will have them, as I already said, this is a world of sword and magic, and her future wife is the Demon Queen, so I am sure that it is possible.
"Miyabi, I have a plan to win over the Demon Queen."
"Yes, and what is it?"
"I will hire a group of adventurers, and when I reach the Demon Queen's floor, I will betray them, showing her that I am really on her side and want to protect her."
"Well, I don't know, this plan is somehow half-baked. Although I don't know for sure, in order to hire full-fledged adventurers, you need a lot of money."
"That's why I saved up, and I will have enough money to hire them!"
"Okay, if you say so. Just don't make it worse, so that the demon queen hates you!" I reproached her.
"Don't worry, I can do it! Oh, and I want to introduce you to my best friend Ceric," she said.
"Well, I wouldn't mind making a new friend, but are you sure he won't treat me like…"
"What are you saying! Ceric isn't like most people! And to be honest, I haven't told you this, but he has a fetish for stockings and lamias! Although he tries to hide it from me, I've seen his sketches. His notebook is full of drawings of lamias in stockings."
"But isn't Melacia…"
"Yes, that's why I don't really want them to meet, he'll embarrass me." She said, sighing
"Okay, how about in a couple of days. I'll come down from the tower and we can go to the city.
"That's… I don't think that's a good idea, people…"
"Malory, I'm not stupid, but if you look at me, how am I different from a human? That's right, only my ears, which can be hidden by a hood."
"Yes, but your magical power is not like a human's."
"And how many people in the kingdom can understand that?"
"Well, most likely, from those I know, only Ceric, he's the second most powerful in the academy after me."
"Well, you see, so you have nothing to worry about. And if I'm discovered, you can say that you don't know me, and I'll just run away." I said
"Okay, you've convinced me. I haven't had a female friend yet that I could hang out with... I don't mean in a romantic sense, even though you're beautiful, my heart belongs to someone else!"
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in you, I need a taller girl."
"Hey, why did you call me short?"
"Notice, you said it yourself." I said smiling, and she just pouted.
"Okay, Miyabi, it was nice chatting, I'll go see the demon queen now, but in a few days we can hang out!" she exclaimed and ran away.
I just shook my head and went back to reading the yuri novel.
