The Villainess That Was Once A VRMMO player

Country of the Daemons (1)

The biggest question we had when we arrived at Daemon’s village was whether Maia and the others, who looked like humans, would be accepted by Daemon. However, Maia was the first one to help the injured Daemons, and perhaps it was because of this that they were accepted so easily.

Maia’s parents, Meiya and Danny, were interacting with the Daemons, but Maia was getting glances from the Daemon men.

Well, Maia was cute and kind, and I was also proud that I was quite useful in this village, but I don’t remember ever being irresistible.

The main reason Maia and her friends were accepted was because of Uncle Bert.

I believed that Daemon, who respected the strong, felt something in common with him, who was a muscle-brained warrior. And after that head-on fight, head-on, he was finally acknowledged by his opponents. Long live muscle brains.

Even now, around Bert-san, people who were confident in their strength were challenging him with their bare hands or with weapons, and everyone was laughing happily.

It was funny, right? I was never challenged like that, even though I showed my strength quite a bit.

Well, back then, I used to beat up Pochi with my bare hands to train it, so maybe they were just being considerate of me because I seemed to be busy. ｂｅ𝚍ｎｏ𝚟𝚎ｌ.𝚌𝚘ｍ

I didn’t have to worry about anything else, but the warriors involved: Boris and his men: were now on their knees in front of me.

“Carol-dono, I apologize for the trouble I have caused you!”

“”We are sorry!””

“…”

The place was a large house built for my personal use, similar to a temple. I was sitting on a big chair decorated with animal horns, like a throne, in the hall, and the men, who were nearly two meters tall and three times my weight, were bowing their heads as if rubbing their foreheads on the floor.

What is this situation? How should I behave?

By the way, I have revealed my true form. I was tired of being transformed all the time.

The elders and other Daemons were a bit upset when I became half a head smaller in an instant, but since Pochi was still treating me the same way, and I was still a half-elf when I came back, they were rather relieved to see the smaller me.

So, I continued to deal with Boris and the others as the small Carol, but the image of a large Daemon kneeling before me, a child less than 150 centimeters tall, was a dreadful one.

“So, what can I do for you?”

“…Yes. Actually…”

I found it too difficult to respond to them in a formal manner, so I ended up responding normally in the end.

To summarize their story, there used to be three Daemon countries, but two of them were destroyed in the war with the humans, and now there was only one left, which absorbed the survivors.

The others were apparently just scattered settlements of a few dozen to a few hundred people, but suddenly a large settlement of a different scale than before appeared in the Demon Forest, and at the same time, rumors began to circulate that a “Demon Lord” had appeared in the Kingdom of Caenista, a major human nation.

But rumors of the appearance of a demon king were like the periodic outbreak of measles, and there would be no actual “Demon Lord” among Daemons for several hundred years, so the kingdom of Daemons was not too concerned about it.

The strange expansion of the settlement was thought to be nothing more than the appearance of a new leader with great leadership power, but in just a few years the settlement grew to the point where it could be called a town, and the Kingdom of Caenista became concerned and dispatched an army.

But before the Daemon Kingdom could realize this, the army of the Kingdom of Caenista was defeated by a single being called the “Demon Lord”.

“So His Majesty the King asked us to invite the ‘Demon Lord’ who fought against the human army to our country, and so we came to meet the Demon Lord.”

“I see.”
