King of the Monsters

After bidding Kyle and the others farewell, I still hadn't left the spot.

Because I had an appointment with someone.

It's not some fanciful tryst or anything. The one I'm meeting is a guy. He should be here soon-

"Yo! Engy-sa~n!"

A man who looked like a woman at first glance waves while approaching, calling out to me.

That's right, I was waiting for Roots. Everything is going according to plan so far, so I force myself not to make a shady expression. 

"How'd it go?"

"Yup, no problems really."

"Guhuhu...good work. I'm counting on you going forward too."

"You're making that scheming face again, so stop it. And I haven't agreed to anything further, you know?"

No use playing innocent when you're the demon king's son. What are you trying to pull?

"So, how was it? Since I skipped out halfway through the ceremony, fill me in from there."
