Divine Protection of Many Gods

Chapter 70

Episode 70

Immediately after returning to the guild, I knew who was searching for me .

That person burst out into a massive laughter after seeing the [Seal Stone of Sobbing] .

“Ah ha haa, hee hee hee, my stomach, ow . You, what are ya doin’? ”

Everybody close by was looking at us . Reluctantly, I decided to greet him .

“Eh!? Ohh, you are [Annihilation]-san?”

“That’s right . I’m sometimes called that . ”

“Sup, call me Yuuki Kurono . Best regards, senpai . ”

Kurono? Senpai?

“You, it can’t be!? ”

“Yup, I’m from the same place as senpai . I’m actin’ as the [Demon King] here~ . ”

Going so far to declare that… . I check on his status .

**************************

I grasped very little except that this guy really was a [Demon King] .

“So, what business does the Demon King have here? ”

“As one would ‘spect of senpai . Don’ be alarmed . This time, I came to watch the demons’ ambition get crushed by [Annihilation]-san . ”

I’m being called senpai because I was summoned earlier .

He gives me the impression that he doesn’t find the demon king’s throne very comfortable .

“No, I was seriously feeling nervous . This whole area had been completely overrun with monsters . ”

“I recognize this aint some dream, and I’m now currently investigatin’ various things mah’self . But even so, I’m aware that I’m the demon king . Afterwards, I am hopin’ there is a clear condition . ”

“A clear condition?”

“Yup, I have been summoned here as the demon king, then does that mean that I’m supposed to destroy the humans? So, is senpai the enemy, or what?”

The demon king seems delighted to talk to someone .

“What is senpai’s victory condition? I hope it’s not suppressin’ the demon king?”

“I didn’t receive any explanation after arriving in this world . ”

“Seriously? I’ve been able to get things like [YES] or [NO] replies to questions in mah’ head . ”

“I’ve just recently been able to gain that skill . ”

“Ugh, sounds like it’s been difficult . ”

I found out later, but it seems there was a temple just behind the place where I appeared .

How have I came so far without a tutorial? Without wanting to know that information?

By the way, is my victory condition the subjugation of the [Demon King]?

Looks like it’s different .

Then, the destruction of humanity?

[NO]

Excellent, it seems to be different .

“By the way, it’s not good to trust those [YES] or [NO] replies too much, it’s really inconvenient when they do not answa’ and return some [⋅⋅⋅] reply . ”

Indeed, it does not seem to say a lie, but it is not completely an ally, huh?

“And ‘cause of that, I had to think about demonification items, ya know . I can’t creep into the mansions of nobles or important people that gots some detector . It’s seriously impossible, gah . ”

Even for that S*ke it is unreasonable . Makes me want to rage . (ED Darknari: We believe this to be a ‘Solid Snake’ reference)

Demonification items aren’t covered by the detector, and the [Demon Killer Drug] is also not very effective .

If they can possess strong humans they can get an even stronger power, it’s a strategy that seems entirely full of good points .

“Fo’ now, it’s good that it does not seem likely to develop into a battle wit’ senpai . ”

“But, aren’t you going to destroy humanity?”

“Hm, who knows? I’m fine wit’ the life I’ve gots right now . ”

“Yet a hero might come for you?”

“Uh huh, that seems to be right . And ‘cause I was chosen by god to be the demon king, some hero was also likely chosen . But that hero could stir up trouble to make himself look good . ”

Sounds likely, if the gods that gave Yuuki and me divine protections are similar that could be true .

“For now, because my victory condition needs investigating I’ll also be living my life normally . ”

“Thanks, well fo’ now I’ll return home fo’ today . Since I also saw the state of that idiot minion . ”

He shot a smirk at the [Seal Stone of Sobbing] stone .

“Oh, see you later . ”

“Yes, I’ll come on down again . ”

Somehow by the end of the conversation we were talking like we were friends, but the other party was the [Demon King] .

I should be very cautious .

Well, what to do after this .

A week after meeting the demon king . A different problem from the demon king occurred .

“A fight? ”

“Yes, the village goblins and the labyrinth goblins are quarrelling . ”

Latia came to sadly report it .

Apparently, the labyrinth goblins aren’t listening to Lalu’s orders .

I’m told that the labyrinth goblins claim that since they pledged allegiance to me that they aren’t under Lalu’s supervision .

“Hm . What should I do . ”

“That’s easy, you just have to let them fight it all out once . ”

“That’s truly…”

“Men come to an understanding after beating up each other . Women become friends over sweets . ”

It’s a little violent but there’s some truth to it . However, I still won’t give permission for a fight .

There must be something else if you are just letting off steam .

“That’s right, let’s play baseball . ”

Since the goblin village has grown large, only a few get to participate . The rest get to enjoy being spectators .

Yeah, this might be a good idea .

I had the goblins assemble on the plaza at once .

First, I’ll explain the rules of baseball .

For now, I’ll omit the difficult rules and give a simple explanation .

After the explanation, before long I watched them play .

It will be faster to remember if they try it than by explaining it with words .

Pitcher and a suitable defense .

And then, batters are all that’s needed to play baseball .

The goblins immediately picked up the game and got into it .

After spending 3 days teaching them baseball, I assemble everyone at the plaza and announce that we are holding a baseball tournament .

Each of the 9 starting players were selected as well as alternatives in case of injury .

“We will rectify the unfair cold reception of the new members!!”

While I was unaware, Frey had settled into a coach position .

Certainly Frey is a newcomer, but did she feel that way? I felt like she was on good terms with Lalu and the others .

“Do you really think you can beat us who have been with master longer!!”

Apparently, Amy seems to be taking charge of the senior team .

No, the one who has been with me the longest is Ayla .

However, Ayla is having fun playing catch with Ruby .

“Here goes, Ruby . ”

Ruby is pretty good at catching the ball with it’s face .

Now, let’s play ball .
