Chapter 234 – Decisive footage of the Demon King's appearance!

Well, I’ve еnded up gеtting tо knоw Littlе Yuushа in а rather оne-sided wау.

I havе а fееling wе’re аbsolutеly going tо gеt tаnglеd up in all sоrts of things frоm here on оut.

Nоw that I’ve becоmе Spice, I’ve beсоme quite familiar with that sоrt оf thing.

“Anywаy, whilе сhесking out some streаms and thinking abоut оur futurе strategу, it’s timе fоr lunch…”

I ordеred a burgеr set via Uber Eаts.

Whilе waiting for it tо аrrive, lеt’s cheсk out some dаytimе strеams.

Oh, Kiraboshi Нazuki’s strеаm is аt the tоp of thе rесommendаtions. Аs ехреctеd оf а world tор streamer.

“Whoa~, she’s gotten to an incredible place! Yesterday, on my way home from work, Hazuki-chan’s song was playing. There were even promotional trucks driving around~”

“Well, she’s a songstress now too. Since she repelled a Stampede with her singing voice, she’s a genuine songstress.”

Mashiro and the Grimoire brigade decided to watch the stream.

It was a stream about a tanker that had turned completely into a Dungeon, and she was diving into it from the port.

‘Achoo!’

“Ah, she just casually split that monster’s head open with a chop.”

“It’s just not on the level of weapons or anything anymore, is it?”

‘Eeeeeek, even a Higher-Tier Demon would be destroyed by that single blow~’

‘Mmm, every time I see her, she’s gotten stronger. What’s up with that woman?’

Flota and Ignite were trembling.

Indeed, Kiraboshi Hazuki’s growth has become something terrifying.

Having gained this much power, where is she headed?

Or rather… is she saying there’s an opponent she can’t fight without gaining this much power?

The answer to the question I harbored internally arrived immediately.

Burdock, a small flying pig-type Shikigami, was trampling over the monsters.

An overwhelmingly dominant spectacle.

Amidst such a sight, always visible in her streams…

‘Hahaa, isn’t my Clearing speed this time absolutely overwhelming? It’s a one-hour course~’

※ ‘Flag flag lol’ ‘But is there anyone who can trigger a flag against Hazuki-chan now?’ ‘Who knows?’

Such exchanges were happening.

Immediately after, a voice sounded.

‘For example, the Demon King herself~? Someone like me.’

There stood a girl, clad in a golden dress, looking about the same age as Kiraboshi Hazuki.

But her mere presence exuded an unbelievable pressure.

Even though it was through a screen.

“The Demon King?”

‘Ah—, this is bad, really bad. Normally, this would mean the end of the world.’

‘Mmm—, Me can’t handle this either~. You can tell how bad it is even through the screen.’

‘If only Snow White and Powered were here~. If we had all seven volumes, we might manage something~’

“Is the Demon King that dangerous?”

These Grimoires can sense Kiraboshi Hazuki’s fearsomeness even through a screen.

They probably understand just how beyond the norm the Demon King is.

“Eeek!”

Mashiro let out a faint scream and hid behind me.

Hmm. At the very least, I’ll protect my wife.

‘Are you Kiraboshi Hazuki? I am the Demon King Marron Glacé. Nice to meet you! And bye-bye~’

Something like bundles of tentacles filled the screen.

Kiraboshi Hazuki mowed them down with Burdock.

The battle accelerated with ferocious intensity, and this time, meteors were summoned and rained down.

Kiraboshi Hazuki batted them back with Burdock.

Furthermore, beams rained down from the Demon King.

Kiraboshi Hazuki sliced through them with Burdock.

Something like shattered beams flew about chaotically, and in an instant, the Dungeon was smashed to pieces.

“Ah, a battle on a level the Dungeon can’t withstand! This is already something beyond Dungeon Clearing, something utterly insane.”

I went beyond surprise and was simply dumbfounded.

Is this what awaits at the end of a Dungeon?!

Something like this, even an ordinary top-class streamer wouldn’t stand a chance against.

Ah, no, wait. Marinna said something earlier.

That if all seven volumes were gathered, they might manage something.

Manage what exactly?

Amidst this, the Demon King and Kiraboshi Hazuki were about to end the battle in what seemed like a draw.

‘Kiraboshi Hazuki, I’ll postpone our match. If you and I were to go all out seriously, it’d be impossible anywhere but in space, right? If we settled things here, I don’t think I’d lose, but even so, Gobow Earth would get wrecked. I don’t want something like that.’

‘Then, let’s call it a day for today…’

‘Yeah, yeah. Man—, I came in some old space combat Equipment, but this really is hard to move in, it’s no good~. It’s torn, so I’ll toss it. Besides, if I show up directly, it’d be harder to operate if my face gets known, y’know~. Okay, okay, see ya later~’

‘Good work~’

In the final moment, the Demon King’s golden dress came undone, changing into ordinary clothes.

Noticing this, Flota cried out, ‘Ah!!’

“What’s wrong, Flota?”

‘I know that form.’

“You know it!? As in, you had some acquaintance with the Demon King in another world…”

‘No, it’s not that~! It’s a different existence altogether! That’s the Witch who temporarily possessed me! But, she couldn’t handle me and let me go… Rumors had it she gained power and started calling herself the Most Ancient Witch or something… But even so, she wasn’t this nonsensical. Her way of speaking is different too.’

“Ah—…! The Ancient Witch mentioned it! She said there was a Witch who summoned the Demon King, and that Witch had her form stolen. I see! So that Demon King’s form is precisely the Witch who summoned the Demon King and was Flota’s Master from the distant past!”

Connections, mysterious ties.

…Wait a minute?

Had her form stolen?

Not killed or anything?

Could it be that Witch changed her form and is still alive somewhere?

If so, what would that Witch think about the Demon King’s appearance?

Might she still be scheming to reclaim her original form?

I wonder who that Witch is.
