7th Demon Prince Jilbagias' Chronicle of Demon Kingdom Toppling-Chapter 129: Demon Race Style
Chapter 129: Demon Race Style
Good day, Jilbagias who greet too many mobster is here.
Cut the crap already, ain't gonna remember all of their names… who was that guy before this guy, the one before that again?
Hey Ante.
『You expect me to remember them?』
No, not at all. In fact, if you had remembered, I would have doubted that this was not a dream.
『When you put it that way, it really gets on my nerves.』
GYAAAH! STOP POKING AT MY EYES LIKE IT'S NORMAL!!!
Thus, while my secret heartwarming conversation with Ante continued on….
That man appeared.
A young demon race with long, wavy and stylish ash-gray hair. If he was human, he'd be just under thirty, but honestly, when it comes to the demon race at that age, I can't really tell their age just by looking at them.
I mean, they spent more than a hundred years of their life in the body of around a 20~30 years old by human standards after all…
The easiest way to tell their age was by their expression.
If their expressions looked greedy, that means they were less than a hundred years old. He lacks the composure of the next patriarch who sits beside me, Siegwald.
「Nice to meet you, Your Highness Jilbagias.」
Said that young demon race with one hand holding onto a cup of wine that was filled to the brim.
――The composed Siegwald aside, the other person beside me, Eijewald, radiates a sharp, tingly air.
Maybe they, by chance, didn't get along with another?… Well, it didn't seem like it was just my hunch.
I urged that young, long haired demon race to speak with my eyes. I couldn't afford to speak yet since I had yet to hear his name.
「… My name is Germadios, my peerage is count.」
Said the man who introduced himself as Germadios―― While squinting his eyes as if sizing me up.
『Dios』 Huh, what a nostalgic name.
That should be the name of the family from the position of the patriarch of the Reiju clan due to their failure to heal the first Demon King. It is said that the patriarch from back then committed suicide at the same time as the Demon King's death, sacrificing himself to silence the accusations from other demon race clans.
Platy told me that they were rather a troublesome opponent to deal with since the family of the former patriarch had many excellent healers.
The current patriarch's family, including myself, who was of the same bloodline, probably has mixed feelings about it all. Even so, this guy has a really unpleasant look in his eyes…
Though there was no way I could ignore him now that he had introduced himself.
「Nice to meet you, Germadios-dono.」
I greeted him back, just to be safe.
「I heard a lot of rumors about you, Your Highness…」
Germadios smiles lightly while nodding politely.
「Hou, what kind of rumors, if I may ask?」
I had zero interest in hearing about it.
「Rumors such as how He has repeatedly demonstrated unparalleled martial prowess on every occasion, and he's widely reputed to be extremely esteemed and honored…」
Did he just suddenly have a change of heart from a prideful and thug-like character?
『It’s not exactly accurate, but it’s not far from the truth either.』

Humph, well, I didn't really care even if I'm being underestimated… But that rumor works like a charm in the Reiju clan's territory.
「Your Highness, is it true that you slayed the white dragon's patriarch on your own?」
Leaning forward and looking as if he was really interested in that story, Germadios asks―― He is obviously looking down on me.
I glanced behind him and saw that the line for greetings had thinned out quite a bit. Actually, I just noticed, but this guy blatantly cut in line. He must have enough power to get away with it…
Uhm, though I'd rather have no contact with them, I couldn't just flatly refuse them.
「Yeah, I'm truly at a loss back then. Nevertheless, it's not like I defeated him by himself because I want to――」
To sum it up, it goes by 『When I strolled out to hunt, I accidentally met a dragon who went into hiding with his humanization and attacked me with his breath as soon as he came out.』.
Germadios said "Ooh!" or "Woow!" every time I arrived at an important point of the story. At the same time, he was smiling lightly as if he saw a nice comedic skit――
「I see now! I heard the rumors of the wind, but I've never heard what really happened back then. Though I'm also quite confident with my own skill, I don't think I'm strong enough to take on a white dragon's patriarch by myself.」
In the end, he was boasting about his own skill.
「to be able to survive such a predicament at the age of five with your own effort is truly praiseworthy. Your Highness is truly a champion, hahaha――」
Germadios raised a strange laugh while displaying his bootlicking skill.
Shameless. What in the world was this guy tryi――?
The moment I was about to gauge his intention.
The liquor cup in Germadios' hand suddenly moved.
The wine that filled the cup to the brim―― Was splashed.
And just like that, it drew a parabola in the air――
And splashed on my face.
「…」
Eh?
†††
The wine was spilling down from Jilbagias' face.
「What the!」
Not even Eijewald and Siegwald, who sat by his sides, expected such a situation.
Despite being a child, that was very improper behaviour before a royalty. Though it was no big deal if that happened by accident, and fact the prince had to give some face to his relatives too since it wasn't deliberate act, but――
「Woops! My hand slipped! How rude of me…!」
Germadios, the culprit himself, clearly did that intentionally, and though he bowed his head in apology, he clearly didn't show a hint of respect toward the prince.
「I got too excited to praise His Highness' bravery to the point of accidentally splashing my wine on your face. Worry not, your face will be wiped by my own hands.」
While the other was still dumbfounded, Germadios swiftly took out his handkerchief and wiped Jilbagias' face.
From the other's perspective―― It looked as if Germadios was taking care of a noisy child.
Meanwhile, Jilbagias didn't say anything and let Germadios wipe his face. Since the victim himself didn't say anything, Siegwald couldn't do anything for the victim either.
「… Done, it's nice and clean again.」
Germadios became more and more elated seeing the prince himself didn't say anything.
「This Germadios truly regrets his actions. It seems my hand slipped when I wanted to pray to god… However, I suddenly recalled that Your Highness is someone who has slain the white dragon's patriarch on his own. A champion of your caliber should be able to avoid that and yet―― Woops, it seems I'm overstepping. Please forget about that.」
He spoke with a loud and clear voice that could be heard by everyone in the venue.
「On the other hand, if I'm an infidel holding a knife in their hand, Your Highness has already died at this point. What do you think? I've already offered an apology, but I'm also a master of martial arts. Should I give some pointers to Your Highness?」
――Have you really won against a dragon on your own when you can't even react to that? Shall I teach you how to move your body?
「You little!」
This was so outrageously rude that even Siegward couldn’t help but intervene. It was far beyond mere less sincere towards a royal! From what he heard from Platyfia, Jilbagias didn't seem to be your average kid.
You never know what might happen if he was enraged――!
「――I see.」
Finally, Jilbagias showed some sort of reaction.
Scaring Siegwald―― Of how he calmly observed the situation.
Jilbagias revealed a refreshing smile.
「Germadios-dono's words make a sense.」
Germadios and the peanut gallery were dumbfounded hearing such a carefree remark.
「Man, it seems I'm being careless. I had never expected that such insolent people would appear during the banquet held by my mother's family; that's why I let my guard down. Germadios-dono's painful lesson taught me that.」
Far from being angry, Germadios seems to be disappointed seeing such display of composure.
「It might not be the best way to put it, but――」
Jilbagias spoke again with an ominous smile on his face.
「It seems I've to teach you a lesson that I learnt in the Demon King Castle」
The moment he said so, a loud bang reverberated in the hall.
「――WOAH!?」
Germadios was thrown back, and by the time he regained his composure, the wall was already before him.
… Or so he thought. Upon a closer look, the said wall was the table that got kicked up by Jilbagias!
He instinctively crossed his arms to protect his face, and the plates on the table fell to the floor and shattered with a loud noise――
「―― And the fate of the idiot who dare to do that.」
Added Jilbagias in a low, threatening voice.
A chill was running down Germadios' spine.
He could feel it from the other side of the table.
The prince's presence.
His magical power.
「【Our Name is Jilbagias Reiju】」
――Ballooned.
「【The 7th Demon King's Child of the Demon Kingdom】」
A loud bang, incomparable to the previous on,e resounded in the room.
The table in front of Germadios smashed up,
And the fist of Jilbagias that smashed the said table was,
Slammed without holding back,
―― Right into Germadios' face.
――――――――――――
How much is the strengthening effect of 【Naming】?It'll be easier if we express the magical power as weight and height.
Imagine a five-year-old boy who is about 150 cm tall a normal state. If you were to underestimate him by thinking, 「Considering his age, he's impressive, but I can still overpower him with strength」 and then the said boy suddenly transforms into a heavyweight wrestler around 180 cm tall and starts attacking you.
