Volume 1 Epilogue (1/2)

Due largely to the efforts done by Tenko, now named as Kuina, we somehow were able to defeat the Emerald Dragon and achieve victory.

The Emerald Dragon’s strength was completely out of our expectations.

An A rank monster under the influence of [Berserk] rivaled even an S rank so I was proud of my companions that defeated it.

Together with the end of the [War], we were transferred to the white room wherein our dungeons, mine and Stolas’s, once faced each another.

I then requested to the Succubi to transfer all my monsters aside from Kuina, Elder Dwarf and Wight back to Marchosias’s dungeon along with the Golems and guns.

After the clean-up was over with, we were transferred to the room adjacent of the dancing hall.

Stolas and her [Monsters of the Covenant] who had finished their clean-up ahead of us were already in the room.

Conversing with her were two other Demon Lords.

One was an old man past his prime. The other was a brown skinned beauty with a wolf’s tail and ears… or in other words, Marcho.

I don’t know if their talk has finished but the old man and Marcho started to leave.

Both of them waved their hand at me and said their congratulations.

I looked at the girls and I felt warm again.

For some time now, Tenko who had completely recovered from her wounds thanks to the powers of the Demon Lord of [Time] was sticking close to my left hand.

“Ehehe, Oto-san! Kuina is Kuina!”

“Yeah, that’s right. You’re Kuina.”

I was finally able to give her a name.

Had I known she would be this happy, I would had given her a name much sooner.

“Kuina…… what a lovely name. How envious.”

Elder Dwarf gazed at Kuina with eyes full of envy.

Kuina, meanwhile, was shaking her fluffy fox tail.

“Elder Dwarf too will have one sooner or later.”

“I’ll do my best and be recognized by Master. I won’t lose to Kuina!”

Elder Dwarf’s eyes were now full of motivation.

I haven’t given her a name not because I haven’t approved of her, but only because I haven’t thought up of good name for her. Though I probably shouldn’t say such right now.

Wight watched us, seemingly pleased.

This guy was an adult. His mental age might just be more than mine.

I’ll be sure to assign him to more important tasks from now on.

With us behaving so, Stolas approached and suddenly lowered her head.

“I’m sorry. I would like to apologize from the bottom of my heart for looking down on you.”

I was taken aback. I honestly never expected her to meekly apologize to me like this.

“No, don’t worry about it. I mean, in the first place, I purposefully brought along the Skeleton to make you put your guard down.”

“Even so, I’m sorry. Also, this is my medal. Please treat it with care.”

After she once more lowered her head, Stolas handed over a medal.

>

It was a pretty good medal. It was strong even if it only gave the ability manipulate the wind but then on top that, it further gave not only a major boost to Agility but also enhancements to all stats other than Endurance.

“I gratefully accept. With this, my [Monsters of the Covenant] will be complete.”

As a matter of fact, I had already determined what monster I’ll make with [Wind].

“……if it’s at all possible, can we be friends? You’re the only one from our generation that I can approve of so I’d like us to cooperate with each another from here on.”

Stolas said such a little awkwardly while her face reddened.

Friends, huh.

Stolas would surely become an influential Demon Lord someday. Moreover, although she had too much confidence on herself, the fact that she could honestly apologize like that meant her personality wasn’t all that bad.

“I’d also like to ask you of the same. Let us persist so that we can both become good Demon Lords.”

“Yes. Please take care of me.”

I shook hands with Stolas.

I was glad I was able to make my first Demon Lord friend.

“And then, this is from [Dragon] Demon Lord Astaroth-sama.”

She said so and slipped something into my hand.

It was…….

“A [Dragon] medal?”

>

[Dragon], huh. The one that had driven us into a corner back then.

I understood now that [Berserk] was optional.

Even if [Dragon] was used normally to create a monster, it was still easy for the medal to produce a strong monster.

But then, a small temptation was born within me.

If, for example, a monster born from [Creation] and two other A rank medals had the [Berserk] status, just how strong would it be…?

Stolas coughed and I calmed back down.

“Thank you but is it really alright for me to receive such a strong medal?”

“Yeah. Astaroth-sama himself told me to do so. Besides, I have also received a [Beast] medal myself. [Dragon] Demon Lord Astaroth-sama and [Beast] Demon Lord Marchosias-sama are close ever since, you know, and it seems they want their children to be the same. Also, a message from Astaroth-sama: Thank you for teaching my daughter defeat. My child could now grow even stronger thanks to you. Please take this medal as a token of my gratitude.”

The [Dragon] Demon Lord Astaroth, huh? His appearance suggested he was a kind old man but he was in truth, purely a gentleman.

I’ll ask Stolas to let us meet next time.

“Also, take this child.”

“Child?”

It was a small blue bird that looked like a dove. It was a D rank monster.
