Chapter 872: Get the Hell Out!
Those cheat-using reincarnators desperately tried to enter the Demon King's Castle but none succeeded—who among them could enjoy privileges like his? If they knew, wouldn't they die of envy?
In that moment, Kazuma was overwhelmed by a profound sense of superiority.
Lacking any cheats, he had always felt inferior around those reincarnators. Though they weren't bad people, it still left him with a lingering sense of imbalance.
Having a powerful boss truly paid off!
You cheat-users may have your advantages, but what good are they? You still end up drinking my leftover bathwater!
Kazuma's walk instantly became swaggering, as if his future shone with boundless radiance!
"Your Majesty?"
A mature, domineering woman's voice snapped Kazuma back to reality.
Before him stood a black-haired woman with a tear mole at the corner of her eye, wearing priest garb in white with purple embroidered trims—an utterly enchanting beauty with an alluring, mature aura.
Wow, a stunner!
"Serena, have my orders been relayed?"
The boss was commanding with authority, so Kazuma wisely remained silent.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
The woman named Serena knelt respectfully.
"Most executives have accepted Your Majesty's command, however..."
"Speak plainly."
"Two executives are currently unreachable."
"Which two?"
"Lord Hans, the Deadly Poison Slime, and Lady Wolbach, the Goddess."
"Intensify efforts to contact them. Report to me if anything arises."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
After their exchange,
the conversation concluded with Kazuma only half-understanding, and they left Serena's office.
"A human accompanying His Majesty?"
Serena watched Kazuma's retreating figure, feeling somewhat puzzled.
But after a moment's thought, she dismissed it—whatever His Majesty intended wasn't her place to question.
"Boss, who was that earlier?"
"Serena, an executive and strategist of the Demon Lord Army. She keeps a low profile, so it's normal you wouldn't know her."
"I see... have you made a move on her?"
"What kind of person do you take me for?"
Eiji glared at him irritably.
"A pervert."
Kazuma answered instantly.
"...Let's head back."
Eiji turned and walked back the way they came.
"Huh? Just came to check on work? Then what was I here for?"
Kazuma was stunned.
"I originally planned to find you some protective treasures, but on second thought, never mind."
"Boss, I've never met anyone as principled as you! Those women are so shameless, crowding around you one after another—it must be unbearable for you!"
"Tell me about it, alas!"
Eiji sighed painfully.
Then he changed direction again, heading toward the basement of the Demon King's Castle.
Sato Kazuma wiped cold sweat from his forehead.
That was close!
He almost talked his benefits out of existence!
Deep beneath the Demon King's Castle lay a treasure vault constructed from reinforced concrete, housing various treasures collected by generations of Demon Kings over centuries across the continent.
Standing before the treasure vault entrance, Kazuma rubbed his hands feverishly.
His motto was: Empty the treasure vault completely!
"Boss, this needs a password—what is it?"
"Leave this to me."
Eiji stepped forward and began typing on the touchscreen in front of the vault door.
"I'll always love Yua Mikami, Anri Okita, Rola Takizawa, Erika Momotani..."
Followed by a long list of names.
"Boss, you...Kazuma's expression turned subtle.
Boss, if you do it like this, I can't help cover for you!
"This Treasure Vault was left by the previous Demon King's ancestors, so of course the password was designed by the ancestors."
Eiji gave him a kind look.
If you spread rumors, you're dead.
His eyes were filled with that meaning.
Kazuma quickly shut his mouth.
"Take whatever you want!"
Leading Kazuma into the Treasure Vault, Eiji waved his hand grandly.
Anyway, it was stolen, so no heartache!
"I've been waiting for you to say that, boss!"
Kazuma immediately charged into the Treasure Vault like an excited husky.
Various treasures emitted dazzling radiance, almost overwhelming Kazuma's eyes.
"This one, this one, this one, this one... I want them all!"
"I'm not helping you carry them."
"Ah, this..."
...
"Let's go out on a quest!"
Just returning to the villa, before even entering the gate, Kazuma couldn't wait to shout.
"What's going on? Kazuma being this proactive?"
Megumin came out from the entrance, wearing her magic robe ready for departure.
"I was already planning to go with Darkness for our daily explosion. Since that's the case, I'll endure a bit and use today's Explosion Magic on some monsters!"
"Kazuma!!!"
A piercing scream came as Aqua rushed out from her room, tears in her eyes.
"You scared me! What are you screaming for?"
"Kazuma! Where's that boss of yours? He punched me last night, knocked me out for the whole night, and made me break the dragon egg! He has to pay compensation! I'll go easy on him - 200 million for the egg, plus he dared to hit my beautiful, intelligent head, so total compensation of 500 million! Make him pay up!"
"If I remember correctly, didn't you buy that egg for 100 million?"
"Dragon egg! It was a dragon egg!"
Aqua stubbornly insisted, shaking his collar and annoying him endlessly.
"The boss has already left!"
"What!"
Aqua was deeply shocked.
She visibly deflated, continuously muttering about 500 million, my 500 million, and similar things.
"He left?"
Darkness was momentarily stunned, a hint of loss appearing on her face.
"The boss said he'd come back in the evening."
Kazuma caught his breath and added.
"Then I'll make him pay in the evening!"
Aqua immediately revived, already imagining her life after becoming rich.
"Hehehe!"
"So he's coming back after all?"
Darkness momentarily showed a delighted expression.
Then suddenly realizing her unusual reaction, she quickly put on a poker face.
What kind of play will appear tonight?
So looking forward to it!
Darkness couldn't help but let the corners of her mouth rise.
"Kazuma, what's with your equipment?"
Seeing both Aqua and Darkness lost in their own worlds, Megumin sighed.
Was she the only one who noticed Kazuma had been deliberately puffing out his chest and showing off his waist, impatient to show off?
"This? You mean this? Ah, Megumin, you have good eyes! I didn't expect you to notice!"
Kazuma immediately happily began showing off.
"This is the new gear the boss bought me—light armor, a bow, and a magic sword. Let me tell you, these pieces are amazing, especially this magic sword..."
Megumin listened patiently.
"Kazuma! As that person's underling, I think you should cover some compensation fees on behalf of the boss! I'll be generous and just take this magic sword!"
"Get lost!"
