"Yo~ You came pretty fast."
Draco teased Raine, who looked unhappy.
Raine glared at Draco irritably, "Please!"
Saying this, she extended her right hand, gesturing for him to proceed.
"Your service attitude isn't very good."
Hearing this, veins popped on Raine's forehead.
She also wanted to quit, but this was her job. She had to execute it perfectly and couldn't cause trouble for Guy or Misari.
"Lord, Lord Draco, please proceed to the venue."
Raine took a deep breath, calmed her mood, and said in a robotic tone.
"That's more like it. Albedo, come with me."
After saying this, Draco stepped into the portal.
Raine gritted her teeth in hatred, but there was nothing she could do about the infuriating Draco.
...
Walpurgis venue.
Draco, bringing along Albedo who had disguised herself into a normal form, walked slowly and elegantly out of the portal.
"Arrived just in time, just right to catch the show," Draco said with a faint smile.
Seven of the ten demon lords knew Draco; only Dagruel of the Giant Race, Dino who was sleeping on the ground, and the Platinum Swordsman Leon had no interaction with Draco.
"Eh, Draco, why are you here? Are you here to become a demon lord with me?" Milim asked with a surprised face.
"Master~"
Susu kicked away the comic book on her lap and threw herself into Draco's arms with a wronged expression.
Ramiris, who was kicked away along with the comic book, had veins popping on her forehead, "You idiot, you dare kick me? I'm so mad!"
Ignoring the sulking Ramiris, Susu pretended to be a victim and cried to Draco.
"Waaaah! Master, someone is bullying Susu!"
"Who is it? Tell Master, Master will beat him up for you," Draco comforted her, rubbing Susu's soft hair.
"Susu knew Master was the best, hehe," Susu smiled sweetly, continuing to act cute and silly.
Then, he pointed from afar at Clayman, who was already fighting with Rimuru inside the barrier.
"It's him!"
"He even wanted to hit Susu!"
Hearing Susu's words, the two who were battling also noticed Draco and his group standing outside the portal. Rimuru's expression froze.
Why did Big Brother come?
"Could it be that everything outside has been resolved?"
Then, Susu began to recount what had just happened, crying and sobbing.
In the end, she added with great righteousness, "...If this guy is willing to compensate me with the little fox, this young lady can let bygones be bygones."
After hearing Susu's words, everyone was speechless.
Draco also understood; Susu wanted Clayman's Nine-Headed Beast, and she didn't care what happened to Clayman.
Rubbing her little head, Draco said softly, "Rest assured, Master will definitely get justice for you."
"Mm! Master is the best!"
Having received Draco's assurance, Susu beamed with joy and turned back into that incredibly cute little fox. Her seven little tails wagged back and forth, displaying her current happy mood.
Meanwhile, Clayman looked arrogant and snorted coldly at Draco, "Tsk! This is the site of the Walpurgis. Why has a human come to join in the fun!?"
"Guy, aren't you going to do something about this?"
Hearing this, everyone looked at Guy in unison, wanting to hear what was going on.
Facing everyone's gazes, Guy explained unhurriedly.
"This is the Supreme One Draco of the Nazarick Principality. I have already agreed to let him become a Demon Lord."
"Since everyone is here, who agrees, and who objects!?"
"I agree, I agree!"
Milim immediately raised her little hand excitedly.
"I also agree." As an allied nation, Carrion naturally raised his hand in favor.
"Agree." Frey followed closely behind.
"Then I'll agree too." Ramiris was on the same side as Guy and Milim; since they agreed, she naturally had to support it.
Moreover, she didn't dislike Draco, and with the connection to Susu, she supported him even more.
Dagruel, Dino, and Leon knew nothing about Draco, so they remained silent, choosing to abstain as they neither agreed nor opposed.
As for Luminus, it didn't really matter whether she agreed or not.
As long as three Demon Lords recommended Draco, according to the agreement, Draco's status as a Demon Lord would be recognized.
"Draco, how is Hinata?"
Although Luminus was worried inside, her face remained that of a cold queen.
"Rest assured, she is alive and kicking."
Draco smiled slightly.
"That's good." Draco had no reason to lie to her about such a matter. Luminus nodded, "I also agree."
Now there were six votes in favor and three abstentions; the result was obvious.
"Then..."
Guy was just about to announce the legitimacy of Draco's status as a Demon Lord when an untimely voice interrupted him.
"I object!!"
Clayman, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly spoke up with a firm tone, "I object to this guy becoming a Demon Lord!"
Hearing Clayman's words, Guy frowned.
Why was a dead man walking causing trouble?
"Objection overruled!"
Guy ignored Clayman, whose face was as gloomy as water, and continued to announce.
"I declare that Draco's status as a Demon Lord is legitimate and valid, and it will be recognized by all Demon Lords."
As Guy's words fell, applause from Milim rang out through the entire palace.
"Clap, clap, clap!"
"That's great, Draco. Let me tell you, being a Demon Lord is actually quite fun. If any human kingdom doesn't listen, just beat them up..."
Like a veteran, Milim began to instill the philosophy of beating people up into Draco.
"Yay~ No one understands Demon Lords better than I do. Just eat your lollipop in peace."
Draco looked at the excited Milim and shook his head helplessly.
A long time ago, Milim had wanted to recruit Draco because Draco was very interesting and completely different from the other Demon Lords.
With his addition, it would definitely be a lot of fun.
Now, she had finally gotten her wish.
"Little Raine, arrange some peanuts, melon seeds, and a small stool."
Draco sat down next to Guy with ease, then crossed his legs and started cracking melon seeds.
"Continue the music, continue the dance."
Rimuru, inside the barrier, had black lines on his face. Why can you comfortably watch the show and eat melon seeds, while I am the one being watched?
This is too infuriating.
And Clayman, opposite him, was even more upset. Why did a human get to sit on the throne of a Demon Lord?
Are Demon Lords this cheap now?
"Draco!!"
"I challenge you!"
Clayman suddenly spoke up and roared. A tyrannical and domineering magical energy instantly filled the venue, and the space around him seemed to distort.
This startled Rimuru. Is this guy trying to die?
He can't even beat me, yet he wants to cause trouble for Draco? Isn't that just asking for death?
However, that was not what Clayman thought.
A mere human is, at most, a Saint, and at best, on the same level as him. He had absolute confidence that he could defeat this guy!
