Ellantia reached into her collar and pulled out a pendant. The golden key glittered.

“This key proves that you are qualified to use the ‘Question and Answer of Truth.’ It is a golden opportunity to reach all the truths of the world once and for all, and to obtain answers to questions that even God cannot answer. What do you think? Don’t you want to have this key?”

“No, not really.......”

“No way! You want this. You have to.”

“......Let’s say that’s true.”

“I knew it! Okay, then let’s have a one-on-one fight right now! If you win, this key is yours. But if you lose... Hehe, it’s okay. There’s no penalty for you if you lose.”

As expected of a devil, he is skilled in deceitful tricks. The battle is a magic war that I cannot even use, and if I lose, he will treat me as a slave for life.

I think this much talking is enough. I wasn't interested in the question and answer of truth, and I had no business with the irregular librarian in front of me.

What I want is somewhere else.

“Ellantia.”

"yes!"

“Okay, call your superior.”

"yes?"

We need to help this screw-up come to his senses.

I reached out one hand to the side. The bookshelf was so heavy that it could be compared to a large wall. I pushed it with a little force. Really, just a little.

[<System> Ultimate skill 'Queen's Strength' is activated!]

The bookshelf that came into contact with my hand tilted to the side. And in the structure of the library, where the bookshelves are placed at regular intervals, this was likely to cause a chain reaction.

“Ah, no......!”

The bookshelf fell over like dominoes with a thud, thud.

“Gyaaaaah! What are you doing! This is so unmannerly and unbecoming of your dignity!”

“Alba? Call your superior.”

“How dare you, a low-level dreamer, summon the Demon King Inferinos! How dare you have such a bold idea! That is also part of its charm!”

“It won’t come out even like this? I guess I’ll have to push away the bookshelf next to it too.”

“Ahh! If you keep causing trouble, I won’t be able to handle it! Stop it!”

When Ellantia got excited and was about to run towards me, Reed got between me and her.

“I want to challenge myself in a one-on-one battle.”

“Eek?! Oh, no, Chaos Evil! When did you get here?!”

“It’s noisy. Hand me your keys.”

“Oh, no! You shouldn’t do that!”

The library's rules were immediately activated by Reed's authority. Ellantia was forced to participate in a magical battle that she was sure to lose.

So Reed and I each started causing trouble.

✠

Even without using the power of Chaos Evil, Reed's magical realm was incomparable to Ellantia.

The darkness he had raised from the shadows immediately hunted Ellantia.

She was pinned to the ground, bound in darkness and unable to move, and her situation was no different than being half-alive in the mouth of a giant beast.

Reed personally bent down towards the unconscious demon and picked up the key.

He quietly and quickly got what he wanted, and just rolled his eyes and glanced in the direction of the eyelet.

His gaze quickly swept across the noisy chaos and found her.

His eyelet, Rodeline, was busy wreaking havoc on the library in an attempt to summon the Demon King Inferinos.

Looking at how excited you look, I wonder if you've been feeling stressed out in secret.

“He doesn’t seem to have any intention of coming out. I can’t help it. I’ll have to destroy the second floor too!”

Reed responded to the voice that seemed to be telling him to listen.

“Please. Go.”

“Yeah, just trust me!”

If you were enthusiastic, it would be appreciated by him. In the meantime, he had something he needed to quietly take care of.

Reed, who saw that Eyelet had disappeared from sight, grabbed the key and said.

“Come out, Bible of Truth.”

In response to his qualified call, the form of a book appeared.

Because of its enormous size, the way it opened left and right looked more like a mysterious door opening than an unfolding bookshelf.

<Qualification Verification. I approve the use of the Truth Question and Answer... ...

“.......”

<You who have come to seek answers that cannot be obtained from God, what are you curious about?>

“.......”

A change occurred in Reed, who had been so indifferent and calm until now. A faint excitement was felt in the breath he was taking in through his nose. This was a moment he had been looking forward to.

“How to corrupt Ailet Rodelin?”

<It is... ....>

It was a short answer. It was a very clear one-liner, easy and simple, and it made the listener happy.

As the light subsided, rather soft and affectionate eyes took over. The handsome man smiled with a masterpiece-like, elegant smile on his lips.

“That’s a perfect answer.”

✠

My vigorous physical activity paid off when I left the third floor of the library in shambles.

[<System> Warning. The 3rd rank in the Demon Realm hierarchy, 'Inferinos, the Rule Maker', is interfering with the 'Library of All Creations'!]

A gust of wind blew through the middle of the library, and a long, dark red crack appeared, like the pupils of a demon.

If there is a cave leading to hell, it would look just like this.

The eerie voice of an extraterrestrial being rumbled out.

<Oh, Chaos Evil... ... . If you had called me, I would have greeted you in person... ... .>

“Are you dissatisfied?”

<No, no. Come this way... ... .>

At that moment, Ellantia, who had been huddled in the corner, suddenly stood up and shouted.

“I, I will take you!”

But I don't know why he keeps glaring at me and not at Reed when he says he's going to serve me.

“Eilet, don’t leave my side.”

"huh."

Now, I took his hand and stepped forward, feeling comfortable with it.

[<System> You have entered the L-level difficulty dungeon 'Judgment Hall of Encouraging Evil and Punishing Good.']

Now, we enter the territory of the Demon King Inferinos.

✠

A vicious judgment hall that encourages evil and punishes good. Based on the description in the original work, what I imagined was a place like the underground judgment hall of King Yeomra with a thousand-foot cliff stretching out on both sides.

However, when we actually passed the dungeon, the environment that greeted me and Reed was completely different from what we had expected.

“I bow to the evil of chaos!”

“Welcome to chaos and evil!”

A spacious hallway with red carpet. Succubi in maid outfits and incubi in beaded outfits lined up on the left and right, bowing deeply.

The space where the extreme welcome took place was not a scary underground court. It was dark and damp, but it gave off a majestic feeling like the interior of any castle.

Reed whispered a little spell that only I could hear.

“This is the nature of Infernos. This is a place more suitable for welcoming guests than sinners.”

“Then this is the Demon King’s Castle that I’ve only heard about.”

A black Gothic castle built on a cliff flashes through my mind. It's a new feeling to be right in the middle of it.

At that moment, I felt the hairs on my body stand on end. My instincts were ringing an alarm, urging me to be on guard against the presence approaching from across the hallway.

[<System> The master of the Demon King's Territory and the 3rd in the Demon World hierarchy, 'Rule Maker Inferinos' has appeared.]

Blonde hair that turned blue towards the end swayed in the air like waves. A female demon walking majestically, wearing ornately embroidered robes.

She approached him, showing off her mastery without hesitation, but then she calmly gathered her energy in front of Reed.

“I, the Demon King Inferinos, greet you, the great and supreme being. I cannot express in words the glory that the Chaos Evil has come to my domain. I will do my utmost to serve you so that you will not experience any inconvenience during your stay in my Demon King’s territory.”

Despite his polite manners and soft voice, his eyes are filled with madness. Even his desire to treat the guest well is possessed by the devil, so he is neither pure nor ordinary.

The demons under his command were the same. The demons that were bending their backs on both sides of the corridor all raised their heads and looked at Reed.

The sight of glowing red eyes extending all the way to the vanishing point of the hallway is bizarre. The dreamers each expressed their ambitions with bright blushes on their faces.

“I will serve you with utmost care!”

“So that nothing is lacking!”

“Please leave all of your meal, clothing, and bathing needs to us.”

“If you want, I can give you more than that......!”

“Yeah!”

Soon, strange snorting sounds could be heard here and there. It seemed that due to their instinct as servants, they were unable to restrain themselves from flirting in front of Reed.

But it was the same not only for the female succubus but also for the male incubus.

“I apologize, Chaos Evil. They are carefully selected sleep demons who have undergone training, but it seems that it is inevitable that they will react to the highest level of Chaos Evil.”

“I guess so.”

Reed reacted indifferently. Another uproar broke out as people said that he ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) liked the indifference.

'No matter what you do, it's fine.'

[I'm very satisfied with the overt harem atmosphere of 'The Architect of the Skyscraper'.]

[I hate the shallow, irrelevant setting of 'The Scales of Justice'.]

At that moment, Infernos' gaze fell on me.

“But what is this dream horse?”
