Volume 2 Chapter 95 Right Minister Valtera (I)
My name is 'Valtera'.
In a world different from this one, I was the 'Right Minister', second only to the Demon Lord, Vega-sama, and Empress Mare-sama, the 'Left Minister'. We 3 led the Demonkin.
We fought daily with various races to dominate the surface, all under Vega-sama's lead, and we were winning.
We were just "one step" away... Then news came that the human race had summoned a 'hero' from another world.
The hero's name from that other world was 'Yuki Takeru'.
At first, I thought, "What can just one guy do?" But he kept defeating our Demonkin one by one and took over our territories in no time.
And for some reason, whether it was because he was a hero or just a human from another world, all sorts of sub-human races like beastmen, elves, and dwarves flocked to him.
Before we knew it, our domain had shrunk to a third of its peak.
That's when... Vega-sama showed interest in Yuki Takeru, saying, "Seems like an interesting guy." And without telling me or Mare, he made contact with Yuki Takeru alone.
After that, they met secretly many times, and eventually, Mare-sama joined in.
Then, in just half a year, Vega-sama made a 'Non-Aggression Pact' with Yuki Takeru, the human race, and the others.
When I heard about it, it was like a bolt from the blue.
I argued furiously with Vega-sama, "How could you make a joke of a 'Non-Aggression Pact' when we've lost a third of our territory?!" But he just said, "We still have enough land to live, even if it's a third smaller," and tried to teach me, "No more fighting. We're starting a 'new era of coexistence' where everyone on this planet can enjoy prosperity."
That's when I decided, "Vega-sama is no longer fit to lead."
So, this time, I breathlessly proposed to Mare-sama, "Instead of Vega-sama, why don't you become the Demon Lord and revive the Demonkin? And let's take back the land stolen by those fake humans and sub-human races!"
Mare-sama, just like Vega-sama, replied, "I'm tired of fighting. I'd rather see the 'new era of coexistence' that Vega-sama and Takeru describe. A world where all races thrive on this planet!"
That's right, both of them were already bound to that Yuki Takeru.
After that, Vega-sama, Mare-sama, and Yuki Takeru started working towards making the 'new era of coexistence' a reality – the world they envisioned where all races enjoy prosperity.
On the surface, I acted like I agreed with Vega-sama and Yuki Takeru's ideas. But inside, I kept thinking, "How can I mess this situation up?" I was just waiting for my chance.
That's when... Goddess Tera appeared.

"The Goddess... Tera, you say?!"
The human-like girl in front of me claimed, "I am Goddess Tera." Goddess Tera, the deity worshipped by the human race, the creator of this world, they say.
I didn't believe that this girl calling herself 'Goddess Tera' was the real deal.
Then, she showed off her incredible power right in front of me. That display left no doubt – she was the true Goddess Tera.
She said to me, "Valtera, I need your help. Will you listen?" I snapped back, half-crazed, "How can I possibly defy someone with such immense power?!"
With a mischievous grin, she asked, "This is about fulfilling your wishes, too, you know?" Annoyed, I retorted, "What are you talking about?" But I have to admit, her words piqued my interest. Reluctantly, I gave in to the temptation and listened.
That's when Goddess Tera dropped a bombshell.
"Kill the Demon Vega."
