The Grand Magic Formation.

It was a secret that existed in the Demon King Castle’s underground.

That existence existed sing the past Demon King Gramfia’s era, and was only revealed to a select few.

The role that the Grand Magic Formation played was very simple.

To create new Mazoku──that was simply all.

Naturally, Mazoku were also able to birth children similar to normal creatures, but in addition to that, it was possible for the Demon King to bring forth special Mazoku through that ability.

To the very end, this Grand Magic Formation was something meant to assist in the Mazoku Creation process done by the Demon King.

If put in another way, if not for the Mazoku Creation power that the Demon King possessed, the Grand Magic Formation was nothing more than simple scribbles.

Right now, that Grand Magic Formation was emitting light within a dim room.

Having been activated by the magical power that flowed into it from Vermudol, the Grand Magic Formation assisted Vermudol’s thoughts, and projected an illusion of the new Mazoku at its center.

After staring at that for a while, Vermudol nodded looking satisfied.

「……Yosh, well……this should be good enough.」

When Vermudol snapped his fingers, the illusion vanished, and the brilliance of the magic formation became stronger.

Before long, the entire room was engulfed in light──and then, the light gathered at the center of the magic formation.

What was there, was something that shouldn’t have been there up until now.

If put into a single phrase, it was light blue full body armor.

The armor had a color that looked as if a piece of mankind territory’s sky was torn out, however, its appearance was somewhat different from normal armor.

If it were to be likened to something, it was in the shape of maid clothes.

If those clothes were to be made all out of metal, wouldn’t it turn out like this……that was the design of the full body armor.

Of course, this was no mere armor. It was part of a race of Mazoku called Magic Operated Armor.

To begin with, the Mazoku called Magic Operated Armor were a race that were a part of a group called the Illusory Races, which operated outside of the activities of normal life. Moving armor, talking pictures, and Golems were all a part of this group, and it was the general term for those that did not possess bodies of flesh.

That being said, since they would possess bodies of flesh when they do Majin transformations, putting aside mankind, there weren’t that many that minded the presence or absence of a flesh body among the Mazoku.

There were cases where it would be a bother in certain situations, like it being impossible to give birth to a child unless they were transformed into a Majin……but let’s put that aside.

It meant that this armor that appeared at the center of the magic formation just now was also a Magic Operated Armor.

That Magic Operated Armor, which didn’t move a single bit for a while, started to slightly move its full face helmet left and right.

If it were to be compared to something, it resembled the head shaking motion that humans would do when waking up.

Vermudol asked it a question.

「How does your body feel?」

「……Yes, it is, very good.」

Mazoku birthed by Mazoku Creation would have the language and this world’s basic knowledge implanted into them by their creator, the Demon King.

Since even high degrees of expertise that followed a purpose could be be implanted depending on the situation, there were also cases where they would possess abilities superior to unskilled Mazoku from the start.

People that excelled in specific knowledge and abilities like Rokuna and Nanalus were an example of that.

And then, the Magic Operated Armor that was at the center of the magic formation was also brought forth by Vermudol for the sake of a certain purpose.

「I believe that you know this, but I am the Demon King Vermudol. Now then, try introducing yourself.」

「……Yes. I am Marin. I am a Magic Operated Armor Majin, and one created to serve you, Demon King-sama, as a maid.」

Hearing those words, Vermudol nodded looking satisfied.

「That’s right. From the moment of your birth, you possess the power to do a Majin transformation. In that case, you understand, right?」

「Yes.」

When the Magic Operated Armor stood up, it was enveloped in light.

It started to adjust the magical power that was flowing within itself.

Majin Transformation.

It was a phenomenon among the Mazoku born with forms that weren’t humanoid where those that possessed more than a certain amount of strength would turn into a form that resembled Humans.

Mazoku that obtained this sort of power were able to freely switch between their original form and their Majin form.

For them, in order to make their original form known, they would describe themselves as being a 「○○ Majin」.

After the light that enveloped the Magic Operated Armor settled down, the figure of a woman wearing maid clothes that had light blue as its basic tone was there.

Her height was about the same as Krim.

Her light blue hair was put into twin tails, and her light blue eyes that had a slightly strict impression to them stared at Vermudol.

「How was that, Demon King-sama.」

「Yeah, that was good. Do you understand your own abilities?」

Marin quietly nodded at Vermudol’s question.

「Yes, Demon King-sama. I am an all-purpose type maid. Among the general abilities that are requested of maids, there is no ability that is impossible for me to perform.」

「What do you know about your coworkers and superiors?」

「Yes. My coworker is currently the similar all-purpose type, Krim. My direct superior is Ykslaas-sama.」

Vermudol smiled looking satisfied by Marin’s answer.

「Yosh, that was perfect. Marin, I bless your creation.」

「Thank you very much, Demon King-sama. Everything of this life of mine is for the sake of the magnificent Demon King-sama.」

Vermudol held out a hand to Marin who raised the hem of her skirt and curtsied.

「……Yosh. Well then, Marin. I shall introduce you to your coworker.」

「Yes, Demon King-sama.」

After Marin took the hand that was held out to her, the two of them were enveloped in transfer light……And then, they transferred to the first floor’s reception hall.

──The reception hall was in chaos.

At the place that they transferred to, what burst into Vermudol and Marin’s eyes was Olred who was chasing after Krim, and the figures of Magic Operated Armors that were chasing after him.

「St, stay awayー!」

「Don’t say that. Hey, just a bit. Just a bit, okay!」

「Olred-dono! It’s troubling if you made a fuss in the Demon King Castle!」

「The reinforcements are……Eei, jeez! Someone bring Gordy-sama here!」

「……What in the world, is this situation.」

Vermudol unconsciously muttered that to himself.

「Ah, D, Demon King-sama! I am terribly sorry. We will do something about this right away!」
