It's fine, even if he's a student, it doesn't matter. Even if he's a student, our Doer Tribe will not defy Iruma-sama's orders...
Suddenly, a dark figure appeared in mid-air and sat on Iruma, who was instantly pressed down.
"What?! He's bigger than me, yet he's like this, so frail. And he's supposed to be our King? How annoying! I don't acknowledge him!"
The young man's resolute gaze fell upon Iruma.
"Doru means fortitude, Doru means charm, a proud race, unique in the demon world! This is our Doer Tribe, yet..." The black-eared youth grabbed Iruma by the collar.
"Now, our future is to be handed over to this short, weak noble to rule, to become King? What a joke! I absolutely refuse to acknowledge it!"
"You fiend! How dare you do such a thing to Iruma-sama!" Azu glared angrily at the youth sitting on Iruma.
"Nova! You are truly too rude! Apologize at once!" The Chief immediately chided him.
Seeing this, Nova twisted on Iruma to avoid Azu's hand, slowly ending up riding on Iruma's head.
"Nova! Stop at once! Do not manipulate Iruma-sama!"
Nova looked at the Chief.
"Shut up, you're all the same, bowing and scraping just because the other party is a high-ranking demon! Our Doer Tribe should be a race full of integrity... Why must we choose to rely on other high-ranking demons to survive like this..."
Hearing this, the Chief sighed.
"I've said it many times, this is for the continuation of our race."
Nova immediately retorted,
"Then I've also said, even if we don't rely on high-ranking demons, we can survive on our own! We are not a weak race that needs protection, saying we only have excellent hearing... We shouldn't be labeled like that!"
Clara and Azu exchanged glances, looking at Nova causing a ruckus on Iruma's head.
"Pfft, hahahaha." For some reason, Iruma burst out laughing.
Nova looked down at Iruma.
"Wh-why are you still grinning like that?!"
"Huh? Sorry, even though you were talking so seriously... But you looked a lot like my older brother just now. He's very similar to you when he's serious."
Nova was at a loss for words. Iruma looked at the Chief.
"Chief, regarding becoming King just now, I'm not yet familiar with everyone in the Doer Tribe. I don't know what kind of lives you lead, what you like and dislike, so... please give us some time to get to know you."
Hearing this, the Chief stared blankly at Iruma.
"Get to know us..."
What a strange high-ranking demon.
However, the Chief did not refuse. Let the noble do what he wants, how could he refuse?
"First, could I trouble you to introduce your settlements?" Iruma said.
The Chief immediately nodded.
"Of course, we will offer you the highest level of hospitality. Then, please..." The Chief began to look at the Doer Tribe members behind him, searching for someone to guide them, but Iruma suddenly said,
"For the tour and guidance, let Nova-kun be in charge of the introduction."
Nova, who was on Iruma's head, was about to object when a large hand grabbed him down and then pressed firmly on his shoulder.
Azu looked coldly at Nova.
"Iruma-sama specifically requested you. You should feel honored."
Nova felt a chill down his spine and swallowed hard.
Subsequently, the group noisily walked out. Mephisto, seeing this scene, couldn't help but exclaim,
"Oh my, the initiative of young people is truly strong!" Then Mephisto looked at the other Doer Tribe members, all looking at him excitedly, and thought of something. He then sat on the sofa.
"Then I will enjoy your hospitality while waiting for the report." He said, taking out the mission brief for this time.
"In short, we're at the starting line. High-ranking Promotion Test: Skala. Demons all want to use this to ascend, to make a name for themselves. This is a narrow gate that measures oneself. This test, reviewed by the Thirteen Crowns, demands very high results. The success rate for reaching rank 6 is only 6%. The passing standard is determined by the Thirteen Crowns serving as examiners, but my required standard is simple: Kingmaker. To save this race, Iruma cannot become King. The condition for completing this test is to find suitable 'material' within the Doer Tribe and cultivate them into a King. It's not about becoming a King who stands at the top and leads the pieces, but rather a player who pushes everything from behind the King, becoming a Kingmaker." Mephisto took a sip of the tea offered by the Doer Tribe.
At the same time, Shesi encountered a similar situation, but... "No! Bro, I thought this was some warm tea-drinking session, but how..."
Shesi, panting heavily, repelled a wolf cub with a fireball.
It turned out that after Shesi was led into the flower field, the monsters all ran out to meticulously sniff Shesi's pockets. When Shesi pulled out the handkerchief Ameri had given him from his pocket, the monsters' eyes immediately widened.
A giant wolf ran over and sniffed.
"Such a familiar scent, Melith-sama... Is that you? No, how could you have Melith-sama's handkerchief?"
Shesi was stunned for a moment and immediately thought of his previous idea. Sure enough, was Ameri's mother human? The head artist of "first love memories." Shesi recalled the messy-haired woman who woke up and started drawing during his part-time job in the human world.
"No wonder the two of them look a bit alike," Shesi murmured, then looked at the giant wolf.
"I am the boyfriend of Melith-sama's daughter, please take care of me." Shesi bowed. It seemed this giant wolf knew his mother-in-law, so he had to be polite.
"Melith-sama's daughter? Hmph! That stinky demon, I ask you, is Melith-sama's... hu-husband a red-haired demon with glasses?" When mentioning husband, the giant wolf seemed to have difficulty speaking, as if very dissatisfied.
Shesi subconsciously nodded. The giant wolf glanced at Shesi then spoke,
"Are you on good terms with that guy?"
Shesi's eyes immediately darted around. It seemed... this one didn't get along well with his father-in-law... He replied, "Not very well. He's not very happy about Ameri and I dating."
"Ameri? So Melith-sama's child is indeed called that? Hmm?" The giant wolf suddenly leaned closer to Shesi and sniffed.
"You... are also human?"
Shesi was stunned by this. No wonder... it's a dog... a wolf, its sense of smell is so keen. Not to mention surviving in the demon world for a year, even after completely Adapting to the demon world, it could still smell it.
"Ah? Uhm..."
Hearing this, the giant wolf immediately laughed.
"Hahahaha, that guy wouldn't have expected this... Demons who haven't had contact with humans probably wouldn't be able to tell." The giant wolf chuckled, then looked at Shesi.
