Chapter 86 Demon Lord, Losing To A Monster In Magic Power Quantity
After having breakfast, Leaf and Demon Lord Vandesdelka headed to the Adventurer's Guild.
"I don't want to go..."
Why do I have to work with this monster willingly? Vandesdelka, now in the form of the Holy Maiden, sighed deeply.
With no other job options and no way to go to the human world, the Demon Lord had no connections to earn money in human society.
In the end, regardless of background, as long as he have the ability, he has to become an adventurer to get hired.
Mercury pats the Demon Lord's shoulder sympathetically.
"Good luck. Ugh..."
"Ugh?"
Leaf looks confused. The Demon Lord quickly covers Mercury's mouth.
If he find out he's the Demon Lord, he might get destroyed by the god of destruction (Leaf).
After a while, they reached the Adventurer's Guild.
Receptionist Niina greeted Leaf and the others.
"Good morning, Leaf!"
"Good morning, Niina!"
Leaf and Niina chatted normally. ...The Demon Lord watched suspiciously.
Mercury looked puzzled.
"What's up?"
"Mercury, what's with that... um... that monster...?"
He pointed at Niina instead of Leaf.
"She's just a receptionist."
"Really!? She seems pretty dangerous, right...!?"
"Do you think so?"
"Yes! Her holy aura is unusual!"
Mercury used Appraisal eyes on Niina, but...
"Niina is just a regular human."
"What!? Are you not using your eyes properly?"
"That's a bit rude... Seriously. With my appraisal eye, I can see through anything, even humans."
There are two possibilities.
Either she is a normal human or she is disguised so well that even her appraisal eye can't see through it.
It seemed more likely to be the latter, Vandesdelka thought. Let's be cautious and avoid getting involved if possible.
"Is that cute girl applying to the guild?"
"Yes."
"Then please write your name here."
...Name. Vandesdelka couldn't use his real name, so he thought for a moment and wrote down a fake name.
"[Delka]-san."
He just cut it out from his real name and use it as a pseudonym. Besides, using a fake name in the guild seemed fine.
Delka then bowed.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Delka!"
"I'm Leaf, a pharmacist. Nice to meet you, Delka-san."
Delka greeted back with a simple "Hello" instead of asking if he's a monster.
"Okay Delka-san, you need to do a test."
"A test?"
"Yes. To join this guild, you have to do two tests: one to check your magic power and another for fighting skills."
Leaf also did these tests. The Demon Lord chuckled.
"I'm ready for the test."
"You seem very sure of yourself, huh?"
Encouraged by Mercury, the Demon Lord nodded proudly.
"I'm confident in my magic power."
Being the Demon Lord, he had the highest magic power among the demons.
Niina brought a crystal ball.
"Hey Niina-san, the crystal ball looks different now, huh?"
Before, it was clear when Leaf had it, but now it's black.
Niina nodded and explained.
"Leaf-san broke it, so they made a strong measuring ool that won't break this time."
"I see," Leaf agrees. The demon lord has been getting surprised over and over, and it's really annoying.
This time, he'll prove just how amazing he is!
It's fine. He's the Demon Lord. When it comes to magic power, he won't lose to any demon. Even if everyone here is a monster, magic and magic power are exclusive to demons.
There's no way he can lose to anyone! With that determination, the Demon Lord touches the crystal ball.
"Haa!"
The black crystal ball changed into a golden color.
"Wow! Delka-san, you're amazing! You're at the top!"
"Haha! I did it!"
Delka proudly puffs out his girl's body chest. Meanwhile, Leaf mutters while looking at a crystal ball.
"In the end, I couldn't measure my magic power, right?"
Previously, he had accidentally broken the crystal ball, making it impossible to measure.
"I want to try it too!"
"Huh, wait, Leaf-san!?"
Delka lightly touches the side of the crystal ball he's holding.
"Tei"
He infused a bit of magic power... and then it happened.
The crystal ball, once shining in golden color, suddenly turned pitch black again.
"Delka!! Run!"
"Huh?"
BOOOOOMMM!!
...Due to the excessive amount of magic power Leaf poured in, the measuring tool broke once again.
Vandesdelka, who took a direct hit from the bombing, of course died. And as if it were natural, he was revived.
"Wha! What... what was that nonsense amount of magic power just now!?"
It was clearly an amount of magic power that surpassed that of the Demon Lord.
Unbelievable. To exceed the king of demons...
"Who are you!?"
"Oh, just a pharmacist."
"NO WAYYYYYYYYY!"
And so, instead of Mercury, it was Vandesdelka who jumped in.
