Chapter 819 - New Year's Extra Chapter : Six Kings' Executives' Vacation ~ ~ Dragon King and War King Camp ~ ~

{Author’s Notes}

Happy New Year to everyone. I look forward to working with everyone again this year.

Please note that all of the Six Kings’ executives will appear. Also, it’s a story of the future where the Pleiades already exist.

**********

The Six Kings who reign at the top of the vast Demon Realm, and their executives who act as their Kings’ hands and feet, are naturally extremely busy. One day, the Underworld King Kuromueina initiated a plan to give the usually busy executives a break to refresh themselves.

The other members of the Six Kings agreed, and decided to make the first Fire month, the days after the Festival of Heroes, a relatively free time for the Six Kings’ executive to take a break, and the information was quickly spread by the Phantasmal King No Face.

And so began the long vacation of the Six Kings’ executives, but it was unknown if one should say that it was to be expected or not, but they spent their vacations in different ways.

After the Dragon King’s executives…… the Four Great Demon Dragons allocating jobs towards their subordinates, they all gathered together once to talk.

[Fumu, this is the first time we’ve all had such a long break at the same time.]

[Yeah, this is also Magnawell-sama’s kindness. I’ll gratefully accept it.]

[However, even when they say that we have a whole month of vacation…… I can’t immediately think of what I’ll be doing.]

[Is～ it～ not～ al～right～ if～ we～ just～ pass～ the～ time～ s～lee～ping～?]

Nidzveld, Fafnir, Eingana, and Grandiereus were discussing how to spend their sudden vacation. Within such a conversation, Nidzveld spoke with a somewhat happy smile.

[But with this, everyone should have free time. What do you think, Fafnir? Let’s use this opportunity to have a mock battle with everyone……]

[I refuse!]

[Eh? N- No…… I’ll obviously be holding back, you know?]

[Don’t be silly! How many times did you think you’ve said such a thing and forgotten to take it easy! You beat us to tatters, saying things like “I’m excited” or “I’m getting fired up”!]

[Ahh, no, that is…… I’m sorry.]

Hearing Nidzveld’s suggestion for all of them to have a mock battle, Fafnir did his best to reject her. All he wanted was to refuse to fight Nidzveld, someone who had already half-traumatized him. Moreover, Nidzveld is a genuine battle junkie. She doesn’t force people to fight, but once the fight starts, it’s a different story.

[……W- What about Eingana……]

[Absolutely not!]

[W- Why not? It would be just a few while, okay……]

[Do you remember how your words fooled me into agreeing to a mock battle, and what happened after that? “Just a bit more”, “just one more exchange”…… Saying all those things, in the end, you had me fight you for seven days and seven nights! Moreover, it would just basically be me being beaten down! You’re asking me to do that during this precious long vacation, where the heck is the fun in that!?]

[Ughhh……]

Eingana may not be uncomfortable with Nidzveld when she first joined the Dragon King’s ranks, but in fact, they are now the closest among the Four Great Demon Dragons.

But even if that’s so, there’s no reason to go along with a genuine battle junkie.

After being rejected by Fafnir and Eingana, Nidzveld’s shoulders slumped and turning towards Grandiereus, she spoke.

[G- Grandie- He’s not here!?]

[……He ran away huh.]

[……He can run that fast huh……]

The moment Nidzveld mentioned a mock battle, Grandiereus had left the scene with a speed that was unthinkable for his huge body.

Grandiereus was even more traumatized by the idea of fighting Nidzveld than Fafnir and Eingana, and without even waiting for Nidzveld to invite him, he chose to flee.

[……Well then, we’ll be going too.]

[See you next month.]

As Nidzveld slumped in place, Eingana and Fafnir glanced at her for a moment before transforming into their dragon form, they left the scene. Nidzveld was left alone with her hands on the ground and a look of regret on his face.

[What is this…… What in the world is this…… Am I supposed to spend the rest of the month smoldering like useless embers……]

In addition, the concept of using the month for rest hasn’t crossed her mind. The only thing she has in mind is “what kind of training will I do to spend the month?”.

If it’s just normal training, she usually does it to the dismay of the other members of the Four Great Demon Dragons, so she wanted to spend her break doing mock battles with the strong. However, that hope was shattered by the previous actions of none other than Nidzveld herself.

The feeling of despair welled up within Nidzveld’s heart…… but shortly after, a helping hand was held out towards her. Yes, it’s true that “the other members of the Four Great Demon Dragons” couldn’t follow Nidzveld’s way of thinking.

However, such beings still exist in the Demon Realm. There are genuine battle junkies in the Demon Realm who have the same way of thinking as Nidzveld……

[Frea-dono!]

[……Agni?]

With a flash of red light, Agni, the Head of “War King’s Five Generals” arrived in front of Nidzveld. She was also one of Nidzveld’s best friends, and one of the very few people she allowed to call her by the name Freabell.

Agni, her hair braided like a scorpion’s tail, swayed as she told Nidzveld with a somewhat excited expression on her face.

[Frea-dono, I’ve heard that you’re taking a month off as well, so how about it? Do you have any plans?]

[A- Ahhh…… I don’t have any specific plans.]

[That’s quite fortuitous! I’ve actually planned an event for this previous long vacation! Unfortunately, Ozma-sama will not be able to participate…… but me, Epsilon, Kong, and Bacchus are going to have a “month-long mock battle”. I’ve come to invite you to just if you’re available, Frea-dono.]

Yes, War King’s Five Generals, the most battle-crazed group in the Demon Realm…… There would naturally be no way that they wouldn’t use this long vacation to do what they love more than anything else: fighting.

[T- That is…… Would it be alright if I join in too?]

[Of course! We always welcome the strong!!!]

[My worthy rival!!!]

Agni’s words were so passionate that onlookers would have burned themselves looking at them, and hearing this, Nidzveld’s expression was one of great emotion. It was truly a ray of light in the midst of dark clouds, leading towards the future filled with hope.

[Of course, I’ll be happy to participate!]

[Ohh, I knew Frea-doono would say that! For as long as we can, let’s train together!]

[Yeah!]

Eingana, one of the Four Great Demon Dragons, had just finished receiving reports from her subordinates after her one-month vacation when she spotted Nidzveld.

[Nidzveld, how was your vacation?]

[Ahh, Eingana huh. Well, I had a lot of fun! My body and soul feels refreshed!]

Seeing the big smile on Nidzveld’s face, as her skin even seemed to be glowing, even onlookers would be able to see that Nidzveld was in a good mood.

[How did you spend your vacation, Eingana?]

[All sorts of things. I went to Hydra Kingdom to buy some clothes……What about you, Nidzveld?]

[I’ve been having mock battles with War King’s Five Generals for the whole month.]

[……Yes?]

[Well, those were really fun days. Megiddo-sama had also come to see me when his executives were busy, and our sleepless days of training were truly blissful! Thanks to that vacation, my body and soul is filled with vitality!]

[……I- Is that so…… That’s good to hear.]

Hearing how Nidzveld spent her vacation, looking at how she had fun from the bottom of her heart…… Eingana just nodded with a complicated expression on her face, unable to understand her at all.

(……Why is it that after a month of sleepless nights and mock battles, she feels better than she did before her vacation? For the life of me, I can’t understand her, nor do I want to understand.)
