as katsu yelled and started to cry as fell onto his knees. the servants took the guard position infront of the demon kings. every servant was vigilant but the demon kings just looked at katsu who was crying on his knees. the demon kings just looked at their childhood individually one was crying, one was sitting in a dark corner with a sad expression and one was just thinking that they were not supposed to be happy with friends and one was just covering his sadness with a laugh.

the demon kings have experienced the same thing known as loneliness. due to their exceptional power from their childhood, the demon kings could not make any friends. there were only people that consider them enemies due to jealousy and some became just devotees and did not stand beside them as their friends. they were just in katsu's situation as he is now b ut just due to a different reason.

as they were all feeling lonely and sad one day a hand had reached them individually by feeling their pain and asking them to his friend and they accepted that with happiness and that person was the reason they all met each other and befriended with each other.

until now they saw katsu as someone who could save their world with his powers and tried to tempt him with various things but after seeing him like that they only recognized that he was no different from them. they looked at each other and nodded and—

"master!!!"

they went past their servants who were guardians of them and did not care about their calls. they went near katsu and looked towards him and Solomon said.

"There is no such thing as an immortal being. every being has an end. it is just that the time they live is that long that's it. as for making friends with you…. we will fulfill that request. we used to live in the same loneliness that you are experiencing now. but a certain friend understood our pain and made friends with us. so now it is our turn to help someone who is feeling the same pain."

katsu stopped crying and looked towards them as there were still tears from his eyes as Solomon extended his hand and followed by the other demon kings. and all of them asked him in unison

"""will you be our friend?"""

they asked him with the feeling of befriending him just as the same people who felt the same loneliness not to tempt him to save their world.

-__________________________________________-

"""will you be our friend?"""

everybody said that in unison while smiling. my heart ached so much that held it and started to cry. but this aching is not something that when I felt lonely. it was a warm and pleasant feeling. the same feeling I felt when I first met Miyamoto and Tsubasa who asked me in a similar way as these guys

–"" will you be our friend""

after remembering that I remembered something that Miyamoto said to me yesterday.

–"it is not like wishing God would help you make friends you know."

what he said had turned out to be true, huh

as I thought that I smiled and accepted their hands and replied

"yes"

they took my hand and lifted me up. I was so happy. the servants in the back were looking at me with anger, some were looking envious, some were looking surprised. they look like what is the meaning of having a friendship with the demon king. I don't care because I got four new friends after 7 years.

as we all calmed down we went back to the main topic

I asked them with a serious expression.

"the god, how did he die!?"

when I asked that Solomon looked seriously and said.
