Chapter 27 : It’s time to show the power of the Great Demon King Purpure

Monsters were creatures that originated from magic.

Therefore, they were always dangerous, whether they were intelligent or not.

Even I, the terrifying Great Demon Lord, always Worry about how to make good use of these guys.

-Clack clack! Clack!

“Saint!! Please illuminate the surroundings!”

The little kid who ran to me trembled at the terrifying footsteps that could be clearly heard in the darkness.

He was crying, snot and tears running down his face.

-Clack! Clack!! Clack!!!

“Darkness! Begone!!”

When Dominicus raised his hands together, a pure white flame appeared above our heads, illuminating the surroundings.

But even so, it was dark.

In this world where there were no streetlights, the sky was only pitch black, and beyond the horizon was also dark.

-Clack clack clack!

But red eyes shining in that darkness were rushing towards us at an incredible speed.

“W, waaaaa…! Waaaa!!!”

The kid cried, and I could feel the magic power emanating from over there.

“Should I say we’re lucky or unlucky on the first day…!”

“I think we should think it’s good because we can save a child in danger.”

The hero and the saint, who hadn’t shown anything reliable until now, were reliable right now.

Maeve took a stance as if she would draw her holy sword at any moment, and the radiance that Dominicus emitted was beautiful.

-Clack clack clack!

The monster in the darkness rushed as if it didn’t care about the dignified appearance of the hero party.

I could tell thanks to the clearly audible sound and magic power.

“Maeve! Dominicus! Stop!!!”

But I can tell.

Because I’m the terrifying Great Demon Lord!”

-Clack! Clack!

“St, stop?! I can feel a monster coming!”

“I will trust the Great Demon Lord.”

Dominicus stepped back, and Maeve also stepped back, incredibly embarrassed.

“It’s a toy!!!”

At the moment I shouted, raising both hands, the monster in the darkness rushed at Maeve.

The sparkling fire, the monster with luminescent eyes, was in the shape of a dinosaur that ran fast on two legs.

Its two arms were very short, and its snout was long.

If there was one more special feature, it was that it wasn’t made of soft skin, but of ‘Lego.’

“These guys are completely good guys! Purpure will promise!”

“Wa, wait, wait! I know they’re good, but they’re very hard….”

Legnyong!

These guys were monsters about 5cm shorter than me.

The Legnyongs rushed at Maeve with great force, and our hero was instantly half-covered in Lego toys.

“Are, are these guys really good?!”

“For now, they don’t seem to be attacking the Hero. They’re just rubbing their large snouts and bodies as if they’re being affectionate.”

“Don’t analyze, h, help me out!!!”

The Legnyongs clung to Maeve with great force, making clacking sounds and rubbing their bodies.

They sparkled their cute luminescent eyes and wagged their tails along with the sound of toys colliding.

“U… Ugh?”

“It’s okay. Legnyongs don’t attack people. They don’t even eat meat.”

“U… Really?”

The kid sniffled and looked up at me, holding my dress tightly.

“Purpure will promise. You see. Legnyongs are monsters that eat stones.”

“They eat stones? Monsters?”

In front of the kid, I grabbed a stone rolling on the ground, whistled, and threw it far away.

“Legnyong!”

“Nyong nyong! Nyong!”

-Clack clack clack!

The Legnyongs bumped into each other but happily ran towards the stone.

And they put the stone in their mouths made of hard toys and crunched it.

“They’re just energetic fools.”

“U… You said… monsters were bad…”

“There are bad monsters and good monsters.”

The kid sniffled once more and looked up at me.

“Horns?”

“That’s right. Purpure is the terrifying Great King”

Before I could finish speaking, the kid stood on tiptoe and fiddled with my horns.

“Horns! Horns! Good person!”

Not a good person, a terrifying Great Demon Lord!

What happened to the treatment of demons?

They should feel fear itself, making even crying children tremble!

-Grumble!

“U… Hungry…”

The kid sniffled, and now he even sat down, holding his stomach with both hands.

“Purpure! H, help me! These guys are, like! Rubbing against me! But they’re hard! It’s the worst!”

Maeve lay flat on the ground and was busy avoiding the Legnyongs’ body rubs.

Sigh! What is this? It’s a mess.

“Dominicus! Lift Purpure up!”

“I understand. Should I lift you up like this?”

As I imagined, Dominicus lifted me up high by my waist.

‘You insignificant monsters! Listen! It is the command of the noble Great Demon Lord Purpure!’

“Legnyongs, listen! It’s the words of the Great Demon Lord Purpure!”

•I want to get rid of this annoying curse first.

Everything I say sounds cute!

“If you listen well, I’ll give you delicious hard things! So stay still!”

My broken horn emitted a cool purple light.

It created a small light show with the sparkling luminescent eyes of the Legnyongs in the darkness.

-Clack clack!

“Legnyong! Nyoong!”

“Nyong nyong!!”

“Legnyoooong!”

The Legnyongs made loud noises but slowly moved to where I pointed with the recorder I summoned.

And the moment the light of the horn disappeared, they plopped down on the ground and started playing, bumping their bodies against each other.

One or two even stuck together to combine, but they quickly got bored and went back to their original Appearance .

“Awawa…”

I was sweating a lot just from giving orders to a few Legnyongs.

Even though I ate two Sevens, I don’t feel like I’ve escaped the level of slime and skeleton birds at all…!

“Good job, good job…. Purpure. Our Great Demon Lord is the best!”

Maeve, sprawled on the ground, was busy giving a thumbs up to the sky.

-Grumble!

First of all, the kid and I are hungry, so I have to cook first.

“This! Delicious! It’s delicious!”

The kid who ran away from the Legnyongs ate the meat and vegetable stir-fry I made easily at an incredible speed.

“It’s sweet! It’s salty! It’s delicious!”

Like a kid, the kid couldn’t give a great evaluation of the food and was busy getting sauce all over his mouth.

He even held the chopsticks with his fist.

“Ummm~!! The food Purpure makes is so delicious!! The soy sauce flavor is really good…! I just found out today that vegetables are this delicious!”

Come to think of it, there was another human here who seemed to have no different taste than a kid.

What should I do with this foolish hero who says she just found out that vegetables are truly delicious?

I wonder if one of the Seven ate all of her wisdom…!

“I’m curious. Why hasn’t Dominicus said anything since earlier?”

“I was looking at the Legnyongs.”

Dominicus was eating normally, but his gaze was fixed on the Legnyongs playing around near the carriage.

Every time a Legnyong looked this way, he stopped eating and observed with a serious expression.

“Why the Legnyongs?”

“I was seriously Concern about whether I could eat them or not.”

“Cough…! Cough!”

Maeve, who was eating well, coughed.

“Sa, Saint! Are you trying to eat those cute guys? I know they rushed at us earlier, but look at how they look! They’re completely cute!”

“A monster is always a monster. Whether it can be eaten or not… It’s an important issue.”

“You can’t eat Legnyongs.”

Dominicus would seriously pick up a Legnyong and put it on the campfire.

“You can’t eat them.”

“That’s right. Dominicus is asking if you can eat a wooden toy now.”

“Yellow, red… And even blue… I was curious what kind of precious taste was hidden beyond the hard skin, but it’s a pity.”

Maeve shook her head.

“Ugh… It’s obvious that you can’t eat it. How can you think of eating these cute guys in the first place?”

Maeve grabbed a stone and threw it at a Legnyong.

-Clack clack!

Like a huge puppy, the guys cutely ate that stone.

“Nyong nyoooong!”

“Legnyoooong…!”

The Legnyongs were happy, raising their snouts as if howling.

“But what’s the name of our kid who’s eating well?”

Maeve, who had been watching carefully, smiled brightly and spoke.

There are various problems, but I can’t say anything bad about that face.

“I’m… Nana.”

“What a cute name!! My name is Maeve. The Great Demon Lord here is Purpure, and the older brother is Dominicus.”

Maeve squeezed Nana’s cheeks and handed her a water cup.

“But why was Nana being chased by the Legnyongs?”

“U… Pee…”

“Ah~ And you suddenly ran away because of a scary sound?”

Nana nodded. Then she grabbed Maeve’s hand and squeezed it.

“Can you take Nana home?”

“I don’t know… Uuu… Mommy… Daddy…”

“It’s okay! It’s okay! I may look like this, but I’m a hero! I’ll take Nana home! You’ll be able to meet your mom and dad soon~!”

Maeve quickly stroked the tearful Nana and even kissed her.

…That works on a child, huh? She stopped crying?

“Do you have a way?”

“Of, of course! I’m a hero, so I can do something!”

“You don’t, do you.”

Maeve smiled awkwardly. Then she covered Nana’s ears with both hands.

“But…! What do I do! I can’t say she can’t go home!”

“I have a way.”

“….Uh, really? Really?”

“But then we might have to go a very long way around.”

As soon as Maeve heard my explanation, she immediately grabbed my hand with her hands that were covering Nana’s ears.

“Purpure…! The terrifying Great Demon Lord! Please! Ugh~? Look at Nana! This cute little kid wants to go home!!”

“It could be dangerous.”

“Even so, huh? Huh? This hero will defeat all the dangers!”

Looking at Maeve and Nana, who were sparkling their eyes, I sighed.

“Okay. I’ll use a little of the Great Demon Lord’s power.”

If we go deep into the danger zone, I can look at the condition of the demon castle.

“Thank you! Great Demon Lord!”

It’s not like I’m using my power for this cute little kid.

Nana, not knowing my heart, clung to me and kissed my cheek.
