Chapter 528 A Child Who Sleeps Well Will Grow Up Super Well

Anyway, Agalia joined us, but is this guy going to announce his trial in this atmosphere? I mean, can’t we just treat it as cleared? As I said before, it’s after Maria and Vakala, you know?

「Deris, I understand what you’re saying. But as the last of the Great Eight Demons who will give a trial to your disciple, I have no choice but to use this authority. I mean, it sounds like a lot of fun!」

「Oh, I honestly admire that kind of steel mentality of yours.」

It seems that he really intends to do it.

「So, have you decided on the content of the trial? If you’re going to do it, make sure it’s appropriate for the last trial, okay?」

「That’s right. If I were you, I would be too embarrassed to come out if it isn’t appropriate.」

「Wow, I’m looking forward to it. I wonder what kind of trial will Agalia-sama, who stands at the top of the Great Eight Demons, give! I can’t imagine it at all!」

「You guys, can you please stop it already? You’re making it hard for me since a while ago.」

「Suya~, I’m looking forward to it, suya~」

「Haruna, you’re already awake, aren’t you!? What’s with that specific sleep-talking!?」

「How rude! If you master the Pleasant Sleep skill, something like this is easy! It’s a basic technique, you know!?」

「No, that skill doesn’t have that kind of effect, right?」

Anyway, after joking around, it’s time to get down to business. The air in the room is also changed.

「I’m thinking of doing the last trial on the continent of Judah, where we always hold our meetings. No one will bother us there, and we won’t attract any attention. If you want, you can get all the members of the Great Eighth Demons together to watch it.」

「Judah, huh. It’s true that only powerful people can go there.」

「After all, it’s a place with the worst climates~. It’s a disaster fair~」

「That’s right. So, whether or not your disciples can cross over to Judah one their own will be the starting point for the trial. But well, they’ve reached the level of the Great Eight Demons, so it won’t be an obstacle for them.」

「Agalia, stop wasting time and just tell us the contents of the trial. Something as easy as that won’t even serve as an opening for the trial.」

「Nell is as short-tempered as ever, huh. You say it’s easy, but the only human in this era who can travel there are Deris and Nell, you know? Well, it can’t be helped. I will tell you. Cough, test, test.」

As if to regain his composure, Agalia was deliberately clearing his throat. I don’t mean to give you advice, but I think you should hurry. Nell’s shoulder crusher is approaching you from behind.

「Then, you three, lend me your ears.」

「You’re not going to say it normally, huh?」

「I mean, Haruna might be awake. Come on.」

「Sigh…」

We had no choice but to lend our ears.

「Actually, whisper――」

「「「………」」」

――Then, we finished listening to the general explanation. We straighten our posture, put our hands on our chins, and wonder what to do.

「What’s wrong? Why are you guys making that face?」

「Well, I mean, right?」

「Yes, it was kind of unexpected….」

「Um, is that even allowed? It’s different from the trials they have had so far. We can decide the clearing standards, you know? Or rather, it will be cleared the moment we start it.」

Lilyvia unusually asked something reasonable. Yeah, that’s right. Rather than a trial, it’s more like Agalia’s hobby.

「It was you guys who said rude things about my trial being after Maria and Vakala, right? Well, originally, I’m not from the Demon King’s side, so it can’t be helped if I’m not suitable for the job. Then, considering everything, this kind of trial is acceptable! I’m sure the other Great Eight Demons will enjoy it too. Also, I’m sure Haruna will be pleased as well.」

「I-Is that so? Well, I think Haru will be happy about it…. Then, let me confirm it again. Agalia, are you really okay with this kind of trial? When this is over, you’re going to open the door to another world, right?」

「Yeah, this is fine. I’m sure everyone will approve it, and I’m sure you guys won’t cut corners!」

「Sigh. You strangely trust me that much, huh.」

I let out a sigh and sat down in a nearby chair. If this is going to be the trial, I don’t need work behind the scenes to lay the groundwork. Well, I can have it easy, no, on second thought, it’s not easy.

「So, when are we going to start?」

「You guys can decide it yourself. As long as you discuss it and tell me the date and time later, at least I will be the witness. Ah, if you can, please tell me with some time before the date. I want to contact the others who are able to come.」

「Uhee, I’m sure everyone will gather….」

「…… Okay. I will let you know as soon as everything is ready.」

「Take your time. I will wait for days, months, even years!」

「No, I won’t make you wait that long.」

Anyway, the next objective has been decided. I’ll tell Haru when she wakes up, so let’s tell Chinatsu and Touko first.

「Suya――hah! I-I’m hungry…」

When I was thinking about it, Haru suddenly woke up. It seems that her empty stomach has reached its limit. It’s really Haru-like that she woke up for that reason, even though she was sleeping soundly until now.

「Huh, where…?」

「Good morning, Haru. How are you feeling? Are you feeling any pain?」

「Ah, Shishō. Um… my whole body hurts so much, but more importantly, I’m so hungry! Ah, but I strangely feel great. Hmm?」

At the same time as she said so, her stomach growled. I guess she’s feeling great because she fought Vakala to her heart’s content.

「I will briefly tell you what you want to know. You won against Vakala. You collapsed and slept soundly for a day. Your Pleasant Sleep skill was being very useful. We are in Carmine’s medical facility. Is there anything else you want to know?」

「I want to eat!」

No, that’s something I want to do.

「Huh? Why are you here, Agalia-san?」

「Hello, Haruna. First, let me congratulate you on being recognized by old man Vakala. Congratulations. Your great achievement will be engraved in history and handed down to future generations. Specifically, I will write a book about it and publish it. I want to make a lot of money through Alezel’s trading company.」

「Hey, don’t do that. Somehow I have a feeling I’m going to be the one who gets the short end of the stick!」

「Is that so? Then I’ll keep it to myself.」

「Sigh….」

「Ahaha, I guess Haruna will be interested in the main topic. You see, I came here bringing the topic about my trial.」

「Agalia-san’s trial!?」

Haru jumped up from the bed. My disciple sure is easy to understand.

「Now, your master Deris will tell you about it.」

「Ha? You leave the important part to others, huh….」

「Shishō!」

Haru urged me with sparkling eyes. I can’t help but smile wryly.

「Let’s see…. Haru, actually, it’s decided that I will be your last opponent.」

――――The 86th day of training is over.
