“The Great Demon King Treinar”
To put it bluntly, there is not a single person who doesn’t know that name. It’s even mentioned in textbooks.
However, I have never laid eyes on his actual appearance.
There are no remaining pictures of him.
He was the Great Demon King who was defeated by my father and his companions.
I never expected to encounter the ghost of the Great Demon King. It must have been a strange hallucination.
No, perhaps it was just a dream to begin with.
Surely, I was simply feeling frustrated and imagined something peculiar…

“Young Master!”
“Ah…”

At that moment, I regained consciousness, and as I opened my eyes, I found myself lying in bed.
The ceiling above me is that of my own room.
The first thing that caught my gaze was Sadis, who wore an uncharacteristic expression of teary-eyed concern instead of her usual mischievous smile.

“Sadis…”
“Thank goodness, Young Master! I’m so relieved… you’re okay, Young Master.”

Suddenly, she hugged me tightly. Soft and warm…boobs!?

“Ah, ah, S-Sadis? Oh, Um… Why?”
“Do you not remember? I found the Young Master unconscious in the Sealed Chamber. I don’t know what happened, and there were no visible injuries. Even though I was with you, I couldn’t help worrying about what might have happened to you…”
“I, I see… so that’s what happened…”
“How are you feeling? Are you hurting somewhere?”
“No, I’m fine… just a little light-headed…. but…… yeah.”
“Is that so…”

I was enveloped by Sadis’ sweet fragrance and it felt pleasant. Then Sadis slowly moved away from me and smiled gently.

“I’m glad to hear that there’s nothing wrong.”
“Guhk!?”

Ah, let’s make children already.

“Maybe it’s really just fatigue. Even if you couldn’t beat the Princess, Young Master was working hard every day… Please take a good rest today. I’ll bring your meal later.”
“Ah, Sadis, a little longer…”
“How~e~ver~, to sleep with you, I~will~not~♪.”
“Uh…”

After saying that, Sadis, who had been showing a genuinely caring smile towards me, immediately reverted to her usual mischievous grin and teased me before leaving the room.
For the time being, I guess she’s relieved.
Damn, I don’t know why I ended up like this, but seeing Sadis in obedient mode after such a long time made me want her to do more of this and that.

『Such an innocent and serene sight… Even the race that vanquished me has grown feeble and complacent…』
“Nuwha!?”

And then, a voice suddenly echoed in my head. It was the voice I had heard before losing consciousness. And……

『Do not be surprised. I am but a spirit. As such, I cannot harm or touch anything... However… it appears that you alone are able to see and hear me. 』

Saying that, the figure of the demon I had seen before losing consciousness appeared, although it was slightly translucent.
However, it did not seem to have a physical body.

“S-spirit… like a ghost?”
『Something like that. Since the time I was vanquished by your father and the Seven Heroes, my soul has been unable to find repose and has become a spirit bound to that sword... Nevertheless, as soon as Heero attained peace, he sealed the sword within that enclosed chamber. Thusly, I have been trapped in that chamber for over ten years. 』
“W-why were you able to possess me?”
『Ah. I do not know either. 』

Being a spirit, his figure appeared faint. Yet his mere presence emanated an eerily intimidating aura.
Then, assuming that everything this spirit is saying is true…

“Hey, you… putting aside being a ghost… are you… really…”
『What?』
“…Um, are you really the Great Demon King Treinar?”
『Indeed! 』

This can’t be! Wait a minute, then what’s this? Does this mean that I’m being haunted by the ghost of the Great Demon King?
Wait a damn minute, normally the ghost would haunt the person who killed them, right!
Then why, why did it possess me, the son, instead of the Hero himself?!
Is it because of that? Is this some kind of curse that will haunt our family for generations…

『Child… it seems that you are perplexed about various things, but even I, who am omniscient and omnipotent, have yet to comprehend the cause of this occurrence. However much a child such as you may ponder, the answer will not come. 』

“Muh…”

『More importantly, I have grown weary of spending my days as though I am in captivity. I want to see a bit of the world after my death. Child, go out into the city. If do you that, then I can also go outside. As you can see, I, who could not leave that chamber, am now able to be in your room. 』

The self-proclaimed Great Demon King commanded me in an authoritative tone. I honestly can’t determine whether he’s the real deal or not.
Anyway, being told to go out all of a sudden… Well, it’s understandable, after being confined in that small room for over ten years without any interaction, I would die of boredom if it were me.
But since he’s a ghost, so he can’t die.
Certainly, it would be a hellish existence, and I would want to venture outside if given the chance.
Although, even if he truly is the Great Demon King, why is he ordering me around like that?

“…Hah, how conceited! What omnipotence… You even lost to my father.”
『…Muh…』

I couldn’t help but retort sarcastically, and it seemed to have an effect.
The legendary Great Demon King frowned at my words.

『H, hoh … Now listen here… son of Heero...』
“Heeeh, so the Great Demon King is short-tempered too. Letting a kid’s sarcastic remark get to you, huh?”
『You…』
“Anyway, we can communicate but you don’t pose any threat to me, so it’s up to me to decide what to do. Don’t order me around.”

I feel a bit pathetic for acting so tough when my opponent is completely powerless. But if this really is the Great Demon King, then this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so I can be bold.
At that, my words made the Great Demon King Treinar glare at me, his refined features twitched in anger.

『Hmph… fearless, are you not? To speak to me in such a manner. I am the omniscient and omnipotent Great Demon King. Even as a spirit, I can unravel this phenomenon and use my power to kill you and once again plunge this world into the depths of gloom and despair, you know? 』

“No, if you could do that, then you wouldn’t have been trapped in this room, right?”

『………… Muh… Oh… Mm… muh… W-well, that is… t- tis not… 』

“O, oi, is it because it’s been more than ten years? Did the Great Demon King, who almost destroyed the world, just lost an argument to an Academy student?”

The Great Demon King suddenly choked on his words and became flustered.
Ah, I’m starting to think this guy might not be the Great Demon King after all, and I felt sorry for him.

“Well, it can’t be helped. Fine. Let’s take a little stroll before dinner.”
『Guhk!? 』
“But it’ll just be a quick walk around the town.”
『Kokukokukokukoku! (*vigorous nodding noises*) 』

As I got off the bed and said that, the Great Demon King’s face lit up brightly, and he nodded vigorously multiple times like an excited child.
Ah~, the sense of dignity that I initially felt from the Great Demon King was completely crushed.

“…Oh, where are you headed, Young Master?”
“Whoa!?”
“Also, I overheard you muttering something to yourself. Is something wrong? Are you plotting to exploit my current emotional state and lure me into bed?”

Sadis entered the room after a light knock.
I jumped back in surprise.
I see… To the people around me, it must sound like I’m talking to myself during my conversations with the Great Demon King.

“More importantly, you changed clothes… what’s this? You are supposed to rest properly today.”
“Ah, no, I was just planning to take a little walk around the town――”
“I’ll knock you out, Young Master.”
“Nuoh!?”

Saying that, Sadis quickly closed the distance between us, grabbed my cheeks and smiled.

『Hoh. This maid…… she is quite skilled...』

The Great Demon King was equally impressed. Yes, if Sadis were to go all out, honestly, she would be much stronger than the current Princess.
That’s why it’s a pitiable situation. The current me wouldn’t stand a chance against her.

“Nfufufu~, this is difficult, you see~, Young Master. Truthfully, I was intending to spoil you today. I’ll feed you dinner and give you a bath. I even thought about turning a blind eye to some mild sexual harassment in the bath. But…”

“Eh!? R-really!? No, yeah, I’ll behave! No, I, am really sick!”

“You already seem to be quite healthy. So, having skipped your afternoon classes… Let’s have you solve all the problem sets I created about Magic Mathematics which should have been covered in the afternoon class today!”

“Sadiiiiis!!??”

“You are forbidden from going out and having dinner until you solve all the problems. So, good luck? If you try to escape… well, for that time… I have various things to report.”

Sadis walked out of the room with a smile, leaving behind her words filled with anger and the promise of punishment.
No way, if I had just stayed silent, I would have been in heaven. But instead, I was slowly thrown into hell.

“Damn ittt, Great Demon King, you bastard!”
『No, even if you say that to me… no… yeah… Well, my apologies. 』
“Damn it, I might have made progress with Sadis today… instead, I was given more assignments than usual… ah~ damn it, but again……. Aaaaaah!”

After missing out on various delicious opportunities, I cried out from the depths of my heart. The Great Demon King, who had lost all dignity, awkwardly apologized.
