"I'll answer that question after you get through here."

"""Gyaaaaaaaah!!"""

As the demon spreads his arms, monsters overflow from the surroundings, as if he were controlling them.

Monsters began to overflow from the surroundings.

It seemed he intended to wait in the back.

However, Kanata wouldn't allow that.

"Answer me last?"

"...!?"

Kanata destroyed the wall with [Spatial Disruption].

Blocking the escape route, he pointed his blade at the demon.

"That was your first mistake."

"...!"

Kanata had an unusually serious expression.

Perhaps it was because he knew the many heinous acts the demon had committed in the other world.

In contrast, the demon was slightly intimidated as he extended his hand forward.

"G-go you guys!"

"""Grrrrrr!"""

The monsters all moved at once.

It seemed the demon was controlling them.

Then, a swift wolf approached Kanata.

"Gyao!"

"─Burn!"

"Gyaaaaan!"

However, the wolf burned up right in front of Kanata.

Had he trusted them? Kanata hadn't moved an inch.

"To make Kanata-kun angry, you're really a bad guy."

Luzeria stepped up beside Kanata.

She was already enveloped in flames, ready for battle.

"Big sister will punish you!"

The other two familiars also followed.

"Master, Kokone, and the others are around."

"How much blood will flow?"

"Ah, leave it to me."

Kokone was wrapped in ice.

Elvi, with red thorns appearing.

It seems the three familiars will face the massive horde of monsters.

[Uooooooh!]

[The serious familiars have gathered!!]

[It's getting exciting!]

[I don't really get it, but let's do this!]

[The Demon King's Executives (Subordinate Demons)!]

[We'll support you as your subordinates!]

[It's so vivid upon seeing it like this!]

[It looks amazing on screen!!]

[Everyone's colors are different and beautiful!]

The enemy's army is composed of C-rank lower-tier vicious monsters.

Given their numbers, they can almost be considered irregular.

However it didn't matter to the subordinate demons.

"[Still World]"

"""...!"""

"This world is enough for just Kokone and Master."

Kokone transformed the entire area into an 'icy world.'

In this space wrapped in silver, even the monsters are not allowed to move.

Before the monsters themselves even realized it, the match was decided.

Meanwhile, on the opposite side─

"[Vermilion Flame Dance]."

"""Gyaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"""

"Ehehehe. Isn't my dance beautiful?"

Luzeria spread her red wings and created a "sea of flames."

Her figure dancing in the central sky was more beautiful than anyone else's.

With strong and flamboyant movements, she burned the monsters to ashes with hellfire.

Furthermore, deeper within─.

"[Bloody Night]."

"""Guaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"""

"Hahaha! So much blood!"

Elvi sliced through the monsters, causing a "rain of blood" to fall.

The thorns generated from the blood grew sharper with each drop.

The footage, easily recognized as a massacre, was already obscured by a high-performance camera.

In every section, it was no longer a battle.

It was a slaughter and extermination.

[These guys are so strong!!]

[Seriously, this is no contest, lol.]

[The return of the rampage is here!]

[Isn't this the lower tier of C rank...?]

[How strong are they, lol?]

[I'm so happy to see the familiars going all out!]

Some of the enthusiastic fans are also super excited.

[Kokone-chan! Kokone-chan!]

[The big sister is so beautiful!!]

[Elvi-chan is amazing...!]

[I'm thinking of confessing to Kokone.]

[The Universal Big Spin Sister's Dance.]

[The body temperature has dropped.]

The familiars seem to have no problems at all.

Next, the attention turns to Kanata.

"I won't let you escape!"

"Ugh...!"

Kanata's sword clashes with the demon's hand blade.

It seems the demon has armed itself as a skill.

In terms of offense and defense, it would likely be comparable to an A-rank or higher.

After exchanging blows on equal footing several times, the demon grinned.

"What's wrong? Hasn't someone like you weakened?"

"..."

The demon probably knows the appearance of "Hero Kanata."

In contrast, Kanata did not respond to that and continued the offensive and defensive battle.

However, he eventually deflected the demon's arm.

"Ugh!"

"Of course I've weakened."

Then, Kanata said with a serious face.

"This sword is a rental."

"...Huh?"

Earlier, when moving to the lower levels, Kanata's beloved sword was broken.

It was a decent weapon made from precious materials of a magical beast.

However, now that it's gone, all that's left are cheap rental swords.

It's only natural that there's a difference in power compared to the days of being a hero.

"Oh, and by the way."

Kanata had something he wanted to say for a while.

"Who are you?"

"Wha...!"

Kanata squinted his eyes.

He could tell from the appearance that the person was a demon, but he didn't know him personally.

In contrast, the demon gritted his teeth.

(Even though we crossed swords, you don't remember...!)

Long ago, the demon had been defeated by Kanata in another world.

However, to Kanata, they were just one of many.

After defeating hundreds and thousands of demons, he had slain the Demon King.

Then, the demon, exploding with frustration, lunges at Kanata.

"You think you can get away with this?!"

"─It's all too obvious."

"...!"

However, it's a monotonous attack lacking composure.

With his extraordinary [Super Sensory], Kanata is impervious to ordinary attacks.

Kanata evades and simultaneously slips into the demon's embrace.

"You don't need a break either."

"Gahh...!"

With that, Kanata swung the hilt of his sword.

He had pinpointed the weak point with his [Super Sensory], landing a clean hit.

The demon couldn't withstand it and couldn't get up after being sent flying.

"So, will you give up?"

"W-Who would!"

"Eh, but everyone else is done?"

"...!?"

Following Kanata's gaze, the demon also looks around again.

There, the ground is flattened.

Only three people are standing.

"Master, Kokone was the most active!"

"As expected, this older sister defeated the most, right?"

"Geez, everyone lacks artistic sense."

Kokone, Luzeria, Elvi.

The three were competing to defeat the monsters.

As a result, they were all wiped out in just a few minutes.

"...!!"

What remained was a hellish scene.

[Here comes the usual hellish scene, lol.]

[Don't compete over the number of kills, lol.]

[They don't even see them as opponents anymore, lol.]

[They don't feel like losing... lol.]

[This is what the Demon King's subordinates are like!]

[Isn't it too scary to be followed by these girls every day?]

[Kanata-kun is doing well.]

[The scariest stalkers.]

[Is this also because of the weight of love?]

With that, Kanata turned his gaze back to the demon.

"Well then, let's have you spill everything."

"...Ugh."

Just then, the familiars lined up beside him.

Perhaps because they got involved with their master Kanata, their eyes lacked light.

"Master, you're too lenient."

"Kanata-kun is so kind."

"Leave this to me."

"Um, you guys...?"

While Kanata was bewildered, the familiars busily prepared.

What they quickly set up was a torture chamber.

"I hung you up with ice!"

"This older sister will scorch you."

"I'll peel you little by little."

"H-Help meee!"

The demon was hung from above with ice and scorched from below.

Unable to move, he was being toyed with by Elvi.

He was undergoing three tortures simultaneously.

[That's why they're scary, lol.]

[Too much, too much, lol]

[Well, they did attack their master.]

[When heavy love turns into an attack, this is what happens...]

[The fate of turning a yandere into an enemy]

[It's too terrifying, lol]

Unable to endure this, the demon immediately raised his voice.

"Th-that golem was empowered by me! But the other demons have nothing to do with it!!"

"""Is it true?"""

"Y-yes, it's true!"

The three summoned spirits glared, but Kanata stopped them.

"It seems to be true. He's not lying."

He must have understood thanks to his [Super Sensory].

Seeing no reason to ask further, Kanata released the demon's restraints.

Then, they exchanged glances and said one word.

"Do you understand the rest?"

"Yes..."

The demon fell forward and was smoothly absorbed into the dungeon.

"Th-thank you..."

"That's good."

[In the end, he did it himself lol.]

[After all, he's like a monster.]

[Kanata-kun is scary too lol.]

[The demon gave up.]

[Isn't this guy the Demon King? LOL]

[The deeds of the Demon King.]

Thus, Kanata witnessed the end of the Demon.

(The Demon even came to this world...)

There are things to consider.

But for now, he decided to forget about it and head towards the defeated monster.

"Alright, time to collect the materials."

[He's really on top of things, huh? LOL]

[The Demon King doesn't miss a beat.]

[Pocket Money King.]

[Part-time Job King.]

[I mean, he's probably just a high schooler, right? lol]

[If only I could contribute too...]

[You can send 240 yen for that, right?]

"Huh, that!"

At that moment, a comment called "Super Chat" flows in.

It's a system where viewers pay money, and the revenue is delivered to the streamer.

Kanata checked the streaming settings and saw that a notification had arrived a little while ago.

"Your channel has been monetized."

It seems that the country is also quickly moving to monetize in order to broaden the entry for streamers.

"It looks like the monetization has gone through!"

[No way!]

[Whoa, it happened!]

[That was fast!!]

[You easily cleared the monetization requirements!]

[Finally, the Demon King has!]

[Congratulations!!!]

If monetization is approved, income can be earned from streaming.

Super Chat (Supcha) and ad revenue will become available.

As a result, followers throw Super Chats like crazy.

[5000 yen Congratulations, Demon King!]

[1000 yen For the cash-loving Demon King]

[10000 yen It's a celebration of monetization!]

[780 yen Finally able to throw something!]

[8500 yen I've been waiting for this moment!]

[50000 yen Kokone-chan LOVE ^ ^]

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! This is too much, everyone! I'm so sorry!"

Kanata panicked as a sudden influx of money came in.

He had wanted to earn money, but this was a bit too much to handle.

Amidst this, the familiars muttered.

"Kokone wants to eat good meat."

"I'm getting tired of convenience store food every day, too."

"Oh, you guys shouldn't say that...!"

[25,000 yen That's not good!]

[3,000 yen Please say it quickly!]

[15,000 yen Use this to eat something good!]

[24,000 yen I'll dedicate this to the older sister.]

[30,000 yen Commemorating Elvi-chan joining in.]

[50,000 yen This is basically a treat for Kokone-chan ^ ^ ]

"As I thought..."

As the super chats keep coming in, Kanata breaks out in a cold sweat.

Amidst all that, he reacted to a certain comment.

[But you're happy, right?]

"W-well... heheheh."

[Isn't he cute?]

[500 yen, the Demon King is cute.]

[1000 yen, really, so sly.]

[5500 yen, this is a thank you for the entertaining stream!]

[6000 yen, you're good at asking for things.]

[50000 yen, I'll support you, Kokone-chan~ ^ ^]

"Whoa, that wasn't my intention at all!"

But deep down, he was genuinely happy.

Now that it had come to this, Kanata decided to express his gratitude honestly.

"T-thank you so much!! Really!!"

[The Demon King cried]

[I'll follow you for life as your subordinate!]

[He's just a child and so cute lol]

[The Demon King is weak to emotions.]

[He's a Demon King weak on money, huh? Haha, how honest.]

Thus, Kanata and the others reunited with their third familiar, Elvi.

While some questions arose, such as about the demon, it ended in a way that was typical of them.

Despite it being the end of the stream, the super chat amount for the day exceeded 1 million yen.

They created another new legend.

The modern Demon King, Kanata.

His path of conquest continues─.
