Chapter 10 - Undercurrent

"So boring,"—said Guy.

Gradually, the sound of footsteps echoed down the corridor toward the throne room, adding a gentle rhythm to the otherwise quiet atmosphere of this secluded place.

Until the footsteps stopped behind the door.

"Open the door!"—ordered the blue-haired maid.

The gatekeeper of the throne, who resembled a fearsome demon, bowed respectfully to the two maids with green and blue hair before opening the door.

The two maids entered side by side, their footsteps in perfect sync as they approached the throne.

"You've arrived, Rain and Misery,"—said Guy.

The two women bowed slightly in greeting, and Misery responded.

"It is our pleasure to answer your call... Lord of Darkness... Guy Crimson-sama."

"Ah, come on, relax. We're old friends and share the same status, so there's no need to be so formal,"—Guy said cheerfully.

"We cannot do that,"—both replied simultaneously.

Yes, we can't do that because it's a vow from our hearts after you defeated us both long ago—Rain muttered inwardly.

"You guys never change, huh? Well, never mind... By the way, the order I gave you two—carry it out today. Walpurgis will be held in a week, so invite another demon lord!"—Guy commanded.

"Oh, and one more thing—please bring someone to the meeting. He's quite a pleasant guy."

"He lives on the other end of the continent in the south. His name is Leon Cromwell,"—Guy instructed.

"Understood,"—they replied respectfully, bowing before leaving.

"I hope this Walpurgis will be interesting,"—murmured Guy Crimson.
