Chapter 1. I’m tired of living a slow life! (500 years)

TL Note: anyone is free to pick this up, I just translate whenever I fee like it.

Tenebrae Demon Kingdom.

As its name suggests, it is a country ruled by Mazoku (demons)
I am the king of the the great palace located at the center of the Country.

Lucifer.
That’s my present name.
Among the seven Majin, I rule the top with absolute power.

It’s been 1,500 years since I, who used to be just one of the unknown demons, defeated Lucifer, my predecessor, and usurped the position and started ruling the country.

Then, the angels and heroes who were tasked of defeating the Demon King were easily crushed, and all those who resisted were pulverized.

There was a strong opposition when I defeated my predecessor, but now no one can oppose me.

I sit quietly on the throne and took a sip of my wine gracefully.
I feel as if I were satisfied with everything, and there was nothing to be dissatisfied about.

But I had a big problem.
that is–.

「…… I ‘m bored 」

I crushed my wine glass.

The girl, who was putting her head on my shoulder and surrendering herself, seemed to woke up from her slumber when she saw my sudden outrage.

「What is it dar~ling…? Suddenly shouting.」

「Oh, I’m sorry. It was unintentional」

I looked next to me, and saw a long haired blond girl staring at me with her red big eyes while cutely yawning and mumbling.

「What’s the matter?Is there any problem?」

The girl in the black dress has a pure white wings on her back.
It was no doubt that this girl was an angel.

And this girl is one of my most beloved wives of my life.

「Lumiel. Do you remember the last time you fought?」

「Um?　500 years ago…… That’s it, isn’t it? Sure, when we had a flashy fight against the Empire.」

「Yes, it is 500 years」

「But what’s the matter?」

Lumiel poured me a glass of wine from the bottle on the table and presented it to me.
I took it and take a sip.

「I remember the hero that came at that time.」

At that moment, Lumiel bitterly distorted her lovely face.

「I don’t really want to remember it that much.
My right arm was blown away」

Lumiel is sulking, but her right arm remains without any problems.
It was natural because it was restored immediately after it was blown away.

『Someday I’m going to make them have the same experience…!』

Lumiel snatched a glass of wine that I had in my hand and threw it on the floor shattering it to pieces.
…I was still drinking…Well, It can’t help it.

The reason why she still has a grudge 500 years ago is because the person who blew her right arm is still lives.

「Well, calm down. You don’t remember fighting after that, do you? 」

「…… That’s right. Not at all」

She’s clutching her shoulder with a puffy face.

「It’s been 500 years. It’s has been so long yet nobody came to subdue me.」

「Isn’t that because you’re too strong? Even I wasn’t able to make a dent, didn’t I?　Hey, do you remember? It’s been a thousand years since then.」

「Of course. I wonder if that’s all it’s been. 」

A thousand years ago, Lumiel led a large army into Tenebrae, a Demon Country to defeat me.

Many of the famous demons were killed, but I was able to turn it around and safely slaughter them.

And the reason that she is now with me, and became my beloved wife, is because I have put her by my side when I have caught her alive, and I eventually found myself holding her in my hands.

as we spent days of our lives together, our distance naturally shortened, and she became my wife.

「It’s strange. At that time, I hated you so much, I couldn’t stand it… Yet, I love you so much now.」

Lumiel holds my cheek with both hands and gazed at me with a feverish eyes.

It makes me weak when she’s looking at me with those eyes.
I want to court her immediately.
I’ve been doing that for a while now.

I held out all my desires and patted her head gently.

「Me too. It’s fun to spend time with you like this…… but recently my battle instinct is having a destructive urge」

「So, that’s why you’ve been so uneasy lately?」

「No, don’t interrupt me for a moment. Be a good girl. Hey, Lumiel.
How about you? Isn’t it boring?」

「I just enjoy spending my time with Dar~ling.
Besides, even if a hero comes, Dar-ling will destroy it immediately.
It’s not worth thinking about it」

As an angel, this is an unwelcome statement, but since she has been corrupt long ago, it can’t be helped.

「…… No matter how strong their opponent is. they will come to kill me at the risk of their lives. That’s what Heroes are.」

「Even though you’re a demon king, you’re saying something heroic ~ Dar~rling is adorable」

「That’s why, I think I’ll go.」

「?　Where? 」

To the half-frightened Fallen Angel I rose from the sofa and said firmly:

「to The Empire. There is an institution that trains the heroes of that Country. I’ll go and see how it is」

The name of the empire is Elberia.
It is a large country adjacent to the east of Tenebrae demon country.

It is a country that is as large as my country, and is home to the people who once invaded with their troops, several decades ago.

There are many institutions that train heroes.
I’m going to pick one of them out and see what they’re like.
