Chapter 81 The Lackey Demon Lord Heads To The Capital City
After visiting the hometown of Leaf Chemist, Dead End Village.
A few days later, the demon lord Vandesdelka had reached the vicinity of the capital city of the Gater Nyiiga Kingdom, Nyiiga.
"Is this the human country..."
There stood the demon lord Vandesdelka... or rather, a delicate girl who bore no resemblance to him.
Wrapped in white robes, with white hair and only red eyes.
She appeared to be around 15 years old.
Dressed in a fleeting appearance, resembling a Holy Maiden... the demon lord.
"Why am I in this clothes, and why am I in this situation..."
The story goes back a few days.
'Van-chan, go to Leaf-chan's place.'
The great witch Merlin had ordered the demon lord to do so.
'W-why am I being asked to do such a thing...?'
'The mastermind was an evil god, right? There's a possibility that the evil being will become even more active. Van-chan, go to the human world and investigate the movements of the evil god.'
'Evil god... Does that involve beings other than demons?'
'For evil god to act in the human world, they definitely need human collaborators. Otherwise, they'll be exposed immediately.'
Certainly, if the evil being was wriggling around without any support, humans would catch on in no time.
The fact that the human world is peaceful means that the evil god is operating in the shadows.
Merlin is concerned that humans might be providing assistance, and is trying to have the Demon Lord investigate it.
'You're going, aren't you?'
'W-Well...'
BOOOOOOOOM!
'You're going, aren't you?'
Right next to Vandesdelka, a huge crater appeared.
It seems Merlin had activated Wind Hammer without anyone noticing.
In his mind, the image of Arthur, who had been minced, flashed by.
'I-I'm going...'
And so, the Demon Lord Vandesdelka, in order to investigate the movements of the evil god, found himself heading alone to the human world as a lackey of the heroes.
"Still, this body is amazing. It looks just like a real human."
No matter how one look at Vandesdelka, he appears to be a human, and moreover, a beautiful girl.
The clothes is that of a healer belonging to the world's largest religious organization, the Destined Church (Tendou Church), known as the [Holy Maiden].
"Hey, if they find out I'm pretending to be the Holy Maiden of that huge organization, won't they kill me?"
Earrings are attached to Vandesdelka's ears.
When they sparkled, Merlin's voice could be heard.
'Don't worry. I have obtained approval from the great Holy Maiden of the Destined Church.'
"What!? When did that happen!?"
Through these earrings, Vandeldelka and Merlin can communicate with each other.
They can talk even when they are far apart because of these earrings.
'In the village, there is a hero who has a strong influence in the Destined Church.'
"Seriously... that village is really dangerous, huh..."
Now, Vandeldelka dresses like a cute girl because the demon lord form stands out a lot compared to current form.
And it also to blend him into human society, and most importantly, to avoid being exposed when encountering demons unexpectedly.
This body, which can be called a puppet, is a body created by Merlin's magic.
Vandeldelka's consciousness is installed in it.
By the way, the original body contains the soul of Merlin's familiar.
"I wonder if it's okay... I hope the demons won't find out that I've switched bodies..."
'It seems fine. In fact, it seems like you've become even more intelligent and popular than usual.'
"Well, that's sad in its own way!"
I can't believe I'm losing popularity to a familiar like this... He thought.
'Van-chan, I can't chat with you too often, so be careful.'
"Oh, really?"
'Yes. It's a rule in the village not to interfere too much in the human world.'
He feels like she's already interfering quite a bit though...
'I'll try not to chat with you unless it's our scheduled time. Deal with things on your own unless it's a real emergency.'
"Deal with things... you're basically forcing me to do it," grumbled the Demon Lord grumbled inwardly.
BOOOOOOM!
...A huge hole opened right next to Vandesdelca.
'By the way, your body has a transmitter and a simple spell woven into it, so magic can be cast remotely through your body.'
A body with a spell attached.
In other words, it means being able to use Merlin's magic.
However, it seems that Merlin can activate it remotely.
If he do something she doesn't like or betray her...
Magic will mercilessly be pounded into this body.
'Will you do your best, spy?'
"Y-yes..."
With tears in his (her) eyes, the Demon Lord Vandesdelka headed towards the capital city.
