When Bunmi-san heard that Mai-san is the grandchild of the previous Demon Lord-sama and was surprised―
Mai-san tugged at my sleeves with *kui kui*.
「What is it, Mai-san?」
「Although you're talking in a language I don't understand since a little while ago, can't you interpret?」
「Opps, I forgot. 」
I took out a【magic stone of temporary language acquisition】from the inventory and gave it to Mai-san.
This is not the copied『+2』but the original one.
Mai-san who received the magic stone without knowing the reason has been wrapped in the light of the magic stone.
「W-, What on earth is this!?」
「You should now understand the language with this. 」
「Is it something like a『konyakku1』of a certain robotic cat?」
「Something like that. 」
I ignored Mai-san who was scrutinizing the magic stone intently― and continued my conversation with Bunmi-san.
「That's why I'd like to meet the previous Demon Lord-sama―
Where can I meet him?」
「I see, understood. 」
After hearing the whereabouts of the previous Demon Lord-sama from Bunmi-san― we decided to head there.
***
The house of the previous Demon Lord-sama―
It was ominous but was a huge house with a slight Japanese feeling.
「So it's here~.
Somehow, it's an unexpectedly an ordinary house. 」
「Does ojii-san lives here?」
「Yes, that's right. 」
「I-, Is that so... 」
When we stared at the house of the previous Demon Lord-sama―
「Uh, how may I help you?」
A young demonkind housekeeper called out to us.
It's not maid-san but housekeeper-san.
「Umm, we'd like to meet the previous Demon Lord-sama. 」
「It's an official business for danna-sama, isn't it?
Since I'll inform him, may I ask your name?」
「Yes, I am Seiji.
Please inform him that『I have come regarding the matter of the human woman』. 」
「I understand, please wait a moment. 」
When we were waiting in front of the door for a while― footsteps producing *dota dota* sound can be heard from inside and the previous Demon Lord-sama jumped out.
「Seiji!
Where's that human girl!?」
The previous Demon Lord-sama looked around restlessly.
「She's not here!
You, Seiji!!」
The previous Demon Lord-sama was too excited and grabbed me by my collar.
「Previous Demon Lord-sama was too agitated, please calm down a little. 」
「Oops, sorry, I lost self-control.
But, what is the meaning of this?
You didn't bring her?」
「Yes, she said she doesn't want to meet with you. 」
「Why!?」
The previous Demon Lord started to become agitated again.
Is this person has such a character?
「She said that she doesn't want to show her old appearance to you. 」
「I-, Is that so...... the humans......
get old in just 40 years, huh...... 」
The image of obaa-san in the previous Demon Lord-sama was surely young.......
「That's why I brought this person instead. 」
「N? Who is this person?」
「This person is...... 」
「That person is...... ?」
「It's your grandchild!」
「N?
N!? M-, My grandchild!?」
「That's right!
It's the daughter of the child born between you and that woman. 」
「No, wait a moment!
Still, only 40 years......
That's right!
A human can already bear a child at 15 years old!!」
I left the previous Demon Lord-sama alone to put the situation in order and― pushed Mai-san's back, letting her moved a step forward.
「Please introduce yourself. 」
「O-, Ou. 」
Mai-san moved one more step forward and―
「It's Kawai Mai.
Are you my ojii-san?」
「Apparently so.
I discarded my name when I became a Demon Lord―
I'm now called the『previous Demon Lord-sama』. 」
「What's a Demon Lord?」
You've asked that now, Mai-san?
「What, are you not informed?
This place is the demonkind country.
And, I was the King. That's all. 」
「I see. 」
Did you understand now?
However, the conversation is awkward......
「Previous Demon Lord. Are you strong?」
「I became the Demon Lord because I was the strongest in this country.
Still the strongest even now.
Other than that, why don't you call me, jii-sama?」
「I'll call you that if you can win against me. 」
「What did you say!?」
Oi oi, are you going to talk with fists!?
Within a moment, the two people's killing energy swelled out.
Why did it become like this!?
「Oi, grandchild.
How old are you?」
「19. 」
「19!?
Did you grow quickly because of the human blood!?」
「This is the first time in my life that someone told me that I grew quickly. 」
That's right.
「Onii-chan, step back. 」
「Aya. But, but...... 」
「Don't worry!」
When we stepped back a little―
The previous Demon Lord and Mai-san both took a stance.
「Previous Demon Lord-sama, please don't act too rashly. 」
「Naturally.
I won't take a 19-year-old baby seriously. 」
「I'm already an adult!!」
The shout of Mai-san became the signal of the fight's start― the two people clashed with each other.
