"Here we are."
Everyone arrived at the pet store.
"I don't need one, I have Crab Bro," Shesi said. Iruma, however, was very interested in a demon beast similar to a hamster from the human world, but this demon beast liked to burrow into people's clothes.
"Alright, Crab Bro can't really be considered a pet. If possible, please let me buy… one… two… three, buy three! No, four!" Shesi said righteously.
"You can't give them away as gifts."
"Then forget it. Is there any transformation magic? I kind of want to be this thing."
...General Store.
[Black Sheep Notebook]: Very sturdy and durable, same as Kalego-sensei's.
[Anti-Drowsiness Pen]: Bites you when you're sleepy.
What caught Iruma's attention the most was:
[Infinite Candy]: Candy that never runs out. Although it has flavor, it has no nutritional value.
"Buy it! Must buy it!" Iruma's eyes sparkled, but Shesi stopped him.
"Eating it all the time will give you cavities. You can't eat it."
In the end, everyone bought a lot of things, most of which, of course, were for Shesi and Iruma.
The four of them rested on a nearby bench.
"I'll go get the carriage." Opera-san was the first to leave to put the purchased items into the carriage and bring it over.
Iruma, Shesi, and Sullivan watched the scenery in front of them. On the busy street, demons were selling or buying what they wanted.
Iruma suddenly paused, then looked at Sullivan.
"Grandpa, how does one become a Demon King?" As soon as he said this, not only Sullivan, but Shesi also paused. Shesi remembered that after that Walter Park incident, Iruma's dream had changed from becoming a Demon King to protecting everything around him, right? Why was he asking such a question again?
Sullivan looked at Iruma's expectant face and suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had returned to a long time ago.
Outside the door of Magic Tower, 665th floor.
"Ah… the aura of the Thirteen Crowns is so heavy. Has that adult disappeared again?"
"Even all the Great Demons of the Thirteen Crowns are present… where did that adult go…?"
Below the floating island outside the venue, Sullivan looked at Delkira-sama above and said.
"Delkira-sama, I'm in a difficult position. Didn't I say today is an important [Thirteen Crowns Assembly]?"
Sullivan flew up and sighed, looking at the figure lying on his side.
"Yes, yes, I know~"
"It's even worse to knowingly commit a mistake," the young Sullivan said.
"It's even worse to knowingly commit a mistake. At the very least, you should…"
"So annoying~"
"Those guys only know how to talk trash while sitting on chairs. Do they think the Demon World is on a table?" Delkira tapped the grassy ground where he was lying.
"The Demon World I created is here, this is where it should be!" Delkira seemed to think of something and then said.
"Yosh! Call those idiots from the Thirteen Crowns here, let's have the meeting here!"
Upon hearing this, Sullivan rubbed his forehead.
"You just don't want to move, do you?"
Delkira heard this and, without making a fuss, smiled and said to Sullivan.
"Little Sha is amazing, you guessed it, but…" Delkira looked ahead, at the unparalleled Demon World he had created.
"Hey, hey, hey! The Demon World I created is truly stunning, hahaha, don't you agree, Little Sha?"
"Grandpa? Grandpa? What's wrong?"
Sullivan snapped out of it and looked at Iruma.
"Nothing… I was just startled. I didn't expect Iruma to want to be a Demon King? You should have said so earlier, really~" Sullivan recovered and picked up Iruma.
"No, no, I don't want to be a Demon King. I just heard people on the street saying that Grandpa could be a Demon King but doesn't want to, and everyone is discussing the Demon King, so I was a little curious, how exactly does one become a Demon King?"
Upon hearing this, Sullivan began to explain.
"Iruma and Shesi should know about the Thirteen Crowns, right?" Sullivan asked, looking at Shesi and Iruma. Seeing them both nod, he continued.
"Opera-san mentioned it."
"The Thirteen Crowns, representing the heroes of the Demon World, each of them can be entrusted with great responsibility. It is precisely because the Thirteen Crowns are at the center of the Demon World that the current peace of the Demon World can be maintained. To become a Demon King, one must first gain the approval of all members of the Thirteen Crowns. In short, it's a huge responsibility, after all, the Demon King manages the top of the top among them."
"So… that means the Demon King has to bear the burden of half of the Demon World, right?" Iruma asked upon hearing this.
"Not half, but all," Sullivan corrected.
"Eh?" Both Shesi and Iruma were stunned.
"The Demon King is the Demon World itself. Even if the demons in the Demon World discuss for ten years or more whether to go left or right, as long as the Demon King says,"
[Go straight]
"Then even if there's no road ahead, they will create a non-existent road. Not only that, the Demon King can also open rivers in the sky, plant gardens in lava, and create all kinds of Demon Worlds. The Demon King is the world, the supreme, the absolute… So, just by looking at the current Demon World, you know what kind of demon the former Demon King Delkira-sama was, isn't that right?"
Shesi and Iruma were startled by Sullivan's words. Although Shesi knew, seeing it on a screen and hearing it firsthand were completely different.
The two looked at the happy demons across the way and couldn't help but exclaim.
"…He was a very happy person."
"Hmm, if I were to become a Demon King someday, I don't know if I could handle it, but I could make this place…" Sullivan snapped his fingers, and then a scene appeared before the two of them.
At the entrance, there were two pure gold statues of Shesi and Iruma.
"Grandson… Grandson Town?" Shesi really wanted to complain.
"But… I really want to see the Demon World you two create," Sullivan said gently, looking at his two grandsons and patting their heads.
The two paused simultaneously and looked at the sunset opposite them.
"The Demon World I want to create…" ×2
"The carriage is here~ We're going back~" Sullivan saw that Opera had brought the carriage over and then said, walking over first. Then, seeing the two in a daze, he called out.
"Shesi! Iruma! Let's go home."
"Coming!" ×2
Back home in the evening.
Sullivan wore a wreath.
"Alright~ Preparations for the new semester are complete~ So, for the remaining time!" Sullivan picked up both Shesi and Iruma.
"Let's have fun playing at home with Grandpa!" Sullivan held the two and started rolling on the floor.
Opera's death glare: It seems I'm the one doing all the laundry.
Opera: Stare~
"And Chairman, you still have your daily work to do."
"That's why, Grandpa, I want to work and play with Shesi and Iruma at the same time!"
"That's just playing, you can't do that."
Upon hearing this, Sullivan seemed to be hit where it hurt.
"Opera is stingy! I want to stay with Shesi and Iruma~ The new semester will have more activities and be busier than before, so Grandpa won't be able to watch Shesi and Iruma all the time then! I don't want to be separated from Shesi and Iruma…" Seeing Opera's expression, Sullivan knew he wouldn't be allowed to play with Shesi and Iruma, so he started throwing a tantrum.
