Barbatos kept her head down as she remained silent for a while.

I waited patiently. I already said everything I had to say, and I had finished persuading her. Saying anything more than this would actually be detrimental now. I simply had to wait for Barbatos to put her emotions back together. She slowly opened her mouth.

“You aren’t doing this for any other reason, right?”

“If I did, then I would’ve done it with Paimon already. I managed to endure the Succubus Queen’s seduction. There’s probably no better proof than this.”

I actually avoided her because I was afraid of the consequences, but I won’t say that.

“……Am I really the best?”

“As you know, I’m not particularly loyal to the Plains Faction, Barbatos. I respect General Zepar and I like Brother Beleth, but I don’t intend to devote my body to the Plains Faction’s ideology.”

I brushed Barbatos’ front bangs to the side as I spoke.

“In other words, I’m your friend regardless of any sort of partisan gains. I don’t care that you’re the leader of the Plains Faction or a high-ranking Demon Lord. Barbatos, I simply consider you yourself as a friend.”

“By any possibility…….”

Barbatos glared at me.

“If you go over to Paimon’s side, then I’m going to kill you.”

“I keep saying that you’re my number one, but you’re still acting like this, Your Highness.”

I laughed as I gave Barbatos a kiss. I didn’t kiss her on the lips. I gave a respectful kiss to the top of Barbatos’ foot as she stayed seated on the throne. If I went for her lips, then there was a high chance that Barbatos would refuse me because of her mood.

That’s why I lowered myself as much as possible and touched the girl’s body respectfully like a servant serving his master. From her shin to her knee and to her thighs……I crossed Barbatos’ bare stomach and chest and kissed her nape. I then carefully pressed my lips against hers like I was knocking on a door.

“Hmm……mm.”

The gates opened with ease.

The two of us would normally have rough and extreme sex. I wasn’t saying that it was rough because we moved violently. It was simply because we were obsessed with acts that weren’t simply pressing our bodies together and would do things that went beyond common sense like whipping, torturing, and playing as master and slave.

Was it because of that? Barbatos actually liked it when I approached her as a normal lover would sometimes. It was like people would say, you can’t live your life only drinking soda.

“……You really are a son of a bitch.”

After our kiss, Barbatos looked up at me with moist eyes. The sharp edge in her voice was gone now. I gave her a gentle smile.

“Don’t you want to pant like a bitch in heat while being pounded by a dog-like bastard?”

“…….”

That was the line Barbatos said to me when she seduced me the first time. There was no way she wouldn’t remember this. Barbatos opened her mouth partially as if she were annoyed.

However, before she could say any sort of complaint, I took the first move and blocked her mouth with my own. Barbatos’ words lost their shape as they turned into moans.

“Hhb, haa……hmm.”

“Barbatos.”

I backed away as I spoke.

“You said that I had become a pervert since the last time we met, right? That’s the truth. I recently discovered that I’m actually quite the perverted guy. Sheesh, it was quite the surprising discovery.”

“……You’ve always been a perverted bastard.”

“Oh? So you became my sex partner knowing that I’m a pervert.”

Barbatos seemed to want to swear at me a little more as she insisted on calling me names till the very end. It was unfortunate, but that was a mistake, O Demon Lord of Immortality.

“Barbatos, you surprisingly have a masochistic side to you.”

“Haa?”

“You normally act as the master, but you get really happy even when you switch roles.”

I opened a system window in front of me and immediately purchased a monster. A torture slime. The same transparent slime I had used on Daisy. Barbatos furrowed her brows once she saw it. She looked up at me uneasily.

“What……are you planning to do with that?”

“I’m sure you know as well, but this slime has the ability to share its senses.”

I brought my face close to Barbatos as I whispered.

“I’m going to put this inside of you.”

“…….”

“I plan to cut it in half and keep the other half with me. I’ll keep it in my pocket at all times. And whenever I’m going somewhere with you, I’ll fiddle with it in my pocket. How about it? Isn’t it a good idea?”

Barbatos’ mouth twitched. Her expression was becoming strange.

“A good idea……? You crazy fucker, how dare you ask me that……the Rank 8 Demon Lord…….”

“You must’ve had a hard time dealing with everything in Habsburg, right? Since you’re already here at my place, we should pay a visit to Niflheim. We can go to a casino and spend a bunch of money at the most luxurious brothels, yeah? I’ve gotten my hands on a lot of money lately. It should be quite the good time.”

I tore the slime and slid it inside Barbatos. The slime squirmed like a caterpillar as it naturally made its way up. I continued to whisper to Barbatos with a smile on my lips.

“And I’ll touch it while we’re under the watchful eyes of other demons. The slime inside of my pocket. Intensely, strongly, and to the point that you can’t endure it……. The Rank 8 Demon Lord will climax in front of a countless number of demons.”

“Are you, crazy……?”

Barbatos, whose expression was twisted strangely━.

“Do you think, I’ll let you do something like that……?”

She was smiling with uncontrollable delight.

She tried to control her facial expression, but the thought of the upcoming pleasure that was going to shower upon her made the ends of her mouth tremble uncontrollably. The usual confident and arrogant tyrant was nowhere to be seen. Only the remains of her pride and arrogance were barely keeping Barbatos up.

I gave her a cold look.

This was the signal that stated our roles were being swapped.

“You should learn to speak properly even if your mouth is crooked. You aren’t listening to my request, you dirty pig. I’m ordering you. If you’re a meat toilet, then you should talk like one as well, right?”

“……, …….”

Barbatos’ expression fell apart.

Afterward, Barbatos wasn’t allowed to speak like a person for 6 hours. I’ll just say that I showed her that she could only oink like a pig.

This was revenge for treating me like a slave in front of Daisy. I always repay my debts because of my incredibly earnest personality.

“A meeting?”

I only found out later on that Barbatos didn’t come here to simply escape her troubles. She had business with me as well. There was going to be a meeting between Demon Lords.

My original goal was to tell you this, was what Barbatos told me.

“Hoo……. The Crescent Alliance war has wrapped up to a degree, so it’s come to a point where we have to carry out the distribution of honors.”

Barbatos took a long drag on her pipe. She looked tired. It wasn’t surprising since we had gone to every corner of the cave for several hours.

I fiddled around with the inside of my pocket like I was going to put a hole in it as I walked around together with her. Barbatos did her utmost to not climax while watching the goblin workers.

Although she did anyway in the end. About 50 times as well.

I knew because I had ordered her to tell me how many times she climaxed every time she did. Barbatos almost passed out at the end. She collapsed on the cavern floor with unfocused eyes and muttered ‘fifty-six……fifty-six times……fifty-six times…….’.

On another note, a weird skill had leveled up.

「Your  Training(Lv. 2) has increased!」

Visit readel.me for extra chapters.

I was curious so I quickly checked what this was.

I had gained a new ability ever since I made Daisy my slave. ‘The higher your Training level, the more effectively you can train your slaves.’, this was displayed nicely in the description window. I should test this out on Daisy whenever I have the time.

“A distribution of honors, huh? ……It’s not like Baal is our ruler or something. Why do we have to participate in something like that?”

“Well, you’re right about that, but it’s just called a distribution of honors on the surface. There’s actually something else here that’s important.”

Barbatos continued.

“I asked old man Baal to mediate.”

This was what she was saying: Habsburg was currently split into a three-sided struggle between Demon Lords……. In other words, the battle between Barbatos, Agares, and Gamigin was growing more intense by the day.

Normally, Demon Lord Marbas of the Neutral Faction would act as a mediator between the parties, but this fight went beyond what Marbas could do.

Agares was the Rank 2 Demon Lord and Gamigin was the Rank 4 Demon Lord. There was no guarantee that they would obediently listen to Marbas who was the Rank 5 Demon Lord. That was why Barbatos asked Baal who occupied the highest position within the Demon Lord army to act as the mediator.

“But old man Baal would never offer a solution himself. Never.”

Demon Lord Baal fundamentally supported laissez-faire.
(TL Note: Laissez-faire, also known as the let-alone policy)

He was willing to act as a mediator whenever there was a problem, but he wanted the involved parties to figure out a solution themselves. Barbatos came to me so that she could take a slightly more advantageous position during the negotiations.

“Your talking skill is able to float even if you tried to drown it in water. Help me out.”

“……Hey, hey. Are you insane? Are you telling me to go against Agares and Gamigin?”

I reeled back in terror.

“What are you going to do if they hold a grudge against me?”

“Didn’t you say Gamigin liked you? Try persuading her with that dick of yours.”

“Like hell.”

I only met Gamigin briefly during the Crescent Alliance war, but that was enough for me to know. Gamigin was the type of individual who would resort to assassination without any hesitation if it meant she could get rid of her political rivals. I doubt she’d take our side due to her personal emotions when there were interests on the line.

I didn’t even have to bring up Agares. I didn’t have any sort of relationship with her.

“Mm. There’s nothing for me to gain by stepping forward as a negotiator.”

“……Would I not be able to persuade you?”

Barbatos looked up at me furtively.

Our master-slave roleplay had already ended a short while ago. Despite this, Barbatos was acting surprisingly humble. This meant that Barbatos understood fully well that I would have nothing to gain by stepping forward as the negotiator.

Despite this, she was requesting this of me.

If you listen to my request, then I’ll give you anything in return. I’ll do something for you. Barbatos definitely could’ve said something like this, but she didn’t offer me anything.

Therefore……Barbatos wasn’t considering the profit and losses and was solely asking this of me out of our friendship.

“…….”

I thought about it intently.

Barbatos had never made a request like this to me. Our relationship was rather dry. We both disliked words like friendship and love.

We slept together whenever we wanted. We spent our time together like friends. However, we didn’t use things like friendship and love. It would be fine to call our relationship dry.

I came to a realization at the end of my contemplation.

‘I see.’

This was a trade.

Barbatos had given me the okay to sleep with Paimon and the others. There was no way that this wouldn’t weigh down on her emotions. ‘I’ve allowed you to do that much, so you should do this much for me.’, this was the message Barbatos was giving me.

The reason she didn’t explain this to me openly was due to the fact that it would make love and friendship become incredibly apparent in the relationship between. Our relationship would instantly become muddy the instant those things got involved…….

“Hoo.”

A laugh slipped out. Her behavior felt cute. She was quite the arrogant girl.

“Barbatos, did you bring my fingers?”

“Huh? Yeah.”

Barbatos nodded and took out a white towel from her pocket. Two of my fingers were probably wrapped inside of the towel. They were the fingers I had deliberately cut off in order to save Lapis. She probably brought them here to reattach them to me.

I spoke.

“Make those into a necklace and keep it with you.”

Barbatos blinked.

“What?”

“I promised you, didn’t I? You’ll always be my number one even if I sleep with Paimon. It’s not that great as proof, but it should work as quite the clear symbol. Show Paimon that necklace when you meet her later on. Tell her I gifted it to you.”

You may have slept with Dantalian, but he gifted me a part of his body. My relationship with him is much deeper than yours…….

There was probably nothing more effective than this. I was going to present my two fingers to Barbatos to give her my trust.

“……All right. I understand.”

Barbatos mulled over it for a moment before muttering in a tiny voice. She held the white towel tightly in her hands. I didn’t need her to clarify what she had understood.

Barbatos leaned against me silently. I smiled and stroked her hair softly.

We were both lousy children.
