Frondier faced Arald. Arald stood still, his head slightly bowed. He was the picture of a loyal subordinate.
“Arald. There’s something I need to tell you first.”
“……What is it?”
“I have no intention of antagonizing you.”
Frondier spoke as if to reassure him, but it was a terrifying thing to hear from the listener's point of view.
“So I’d appreciate it if you could be honest with me.”
“…….”
“I don’t want to treat you like the other enemies.”
Arald. The chairman of Hitchcock. The devil who possessed the desire for ‘Gourmet.’
Frondier had been wary of Arald from the moment they first met. Even after he became his subordinate.
However, recently, that vigilance had disappeared a lot.
Arald was too loyal to be wary of, he had been quite helpful, and…
Above all, he was beginning to understand Arald.
“First, I want to hear your thoughts.”
“My thoughts, sir?”
“I’ve become the King of Devils.”
Frondier spread his arms.
“That’s what you asked me to do, right? To become the King of Devils.”
“...That’s right. I’m very happy for you.”
Frondier shook his head.
“I’ll ask you again. Be honest with me.”
“…….”
“Like I said, if it were you and I from the past, I would have used every means at my disposal to make you spit out everything inside you.”
Frondier shrugged.
“I don’t want to do that. Let’s not bother each other unnecessarily. It’s a waste of time.”
Arald looked away for a moment, then closed his eyes and let out a short sigh.
When he opened his eyes again, they were fixed on Frondier, clearer than before.
He said, “It’s not enough yet.”
“I knew it.”
“The King of Devils I asked Master Frondier to become is not like this. The summit of all devils. The absolute power that controls the power of all devils. Only with that can God be-”
Arald stopped there, as if he had made a slip of the tongue.
Frondier smiled in satisfaction.
“You, you want to kill God.”
