Chapter 176 – Interlude: Forum (13 Demon Kings Edition)
１ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｔfｄｙｋｇｒ
The naming of the 13 S Rank Demon Kings hasn’t been decided yet, has it?
２ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：mａｓｋeｒｉ
You mean the Demon Kings whose Domains have been labeled with a Hazard Rank S?
３ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｓeｒｂｄｋw
Is this the correct thread to reveal my source of knowledge to the world?
４ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｌｄｋeｉfｘ
Okay then, I’ll start off ― The Demon King of Fukuoka City, my hometown, is the Evil Princess of Fierce Battle ― Mei
５ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｌoｄｓwａｋ
I guess I’ll expose the darkness. Yokohama’s Demon King is Commander ― Yui.
６ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｔfｄｙｋｇｒ
>>４－５
That’s not it. What I’m talking about is a general term for the 13 Demon Kings, something like The Top 13 Demon Kings.
７ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｃnｄｊwｉe
＞＞６
Dude, say that first!
８ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｄｌeoａｓｋ
It’s 13 of them, right? How about Zodiac then?
９ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｐｄoeｌａｉ
Zodiac, what’s that again?
１０ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｌｓｋeｉfｃ
＞＞９
The 13 star signs in the zodiac star constellation, got it? j/k
１１ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｐｄoeｌａｉ
＞＞１０
Hah? Man, that thing has 12 star signs, just so you know.
１２ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｌｓｋeｉfｃ
＞＞１１
There ain’t no serpent bearer, or shit like that. Just start over, k?
１３ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：mnｓｋwｉｄ
Chill out, guys.
The Demon Kings are fighting amongst each other, so how about “The 13 Kings.” Isn’t it great? It covers 13 and conflict. 1
１４ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：wｄfｇｓｑｚ
13 Demon Kings, in other words: 13 devil lords, right? Then, how about Devil Dozen?
１５ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：mｓｋeｉｄｊｒf
＞＞１４
Hello? Dozen equals 12, you know?
１６ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：nfeｓｚａｙ
＞＞１５
It’s a dozen devils, so there’s 13 of them! ggrks 2
１７ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：oｐwｋｃｓａ
13 is a taboo number, so what about Taboo Kings? Demon Kings are calamities anyway.
１８ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｙｕｉｋmnｈ
We’re Law, and they’re Chaos, right? How about Chaos Numbers? Sounds neat, no?
１９ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：eoｋmｓeｄ
Having stayed in bed on the day before the Cataclysm, I’m a Neutral.
２０ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｙｕｉｋmnｈ
＞＞１９
Stay strong, man.
２１ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｘｄfｒeｄf
The Thirteen Calamities? 3
２２ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｄａｋｉoｃｌ
＞＞２１
Thirteen Calamities…no?
２３ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｘｄfｒeｄf
＞＞２２
災殃
It means calamity.
２４ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｌoeｋｃｊｄ
Unwanted 13 Evils
２５ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｓｋｄｉeｊｃ
The Loki ratio among chuunibyou patients is abnormally high.
２６ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｌｋｊｓeｕｄ
Rather, isn’t it fine to just go with Zodiac now?
２７ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：mｋowｉａｓ
Ｚ（Ｚone）Ｏ（oｃｃｕｐｉeｄ）Ｄ（Ｄemonｉｃ）Ｉ（Ｉnｔeｌｌｉｇenｃe）Ａ（Ａnｄ）Ｃ（Ｃoｌonｉeｓ）
In short, Zodiac, correct?
２８ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｄｋｃｊｄeｉｓ
＞＞２７
What does that even mean?
２９ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：mｋowｉａｓ
Devilish, smart people running Domains, and the land ruled by them.
３０ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｌowｋｃｊｄ
＞＞２９
How marvelously on point rofl.
３１ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｄeoａｋｓw
13 Demon Kings ruling over the lands ― XIII Rulers
３２ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｂｋａwｄｄｓ
How about the 13 Pillars at the Dawn of a New Age
３３ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｌowａｉｓｄ
Isn’t 13 Apostles…Death Bringers, or something like that good?
３４ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｑoｌｓｋｘｄ
My right eye throbs…
The Thirteen Evil Stars, relics that I sealed away in the past
３５ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｕｉｋｓeｄｃ
At this point, we might as well go with 『Heart-throbbing☆Chaos☆Demon Kings』？
３６ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：eｒｕｉｄｋｓ
lmao
Afterwards, many more suggestions followed.
９２３ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｌｉeｄｃａw
If you tally the numbers, Zodiac has the most supporters. The runner-up is 『Heart-throbbing☆Chaos☆Demon Kings』.
９２４ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｘｃｄwｓｄf
Wouldn’t it kinda suck if Japan was ruled by the 『Heart-throbbing☆Chaos☆Demon Kings』?
９９２ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｘｓeｄｉfｒ
Looking at the other opinions, doesn’t Zodiac lack a bit of an impact?
９９３ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｘｌａowｓｄ
The Zodiac are star signs, right? What if we go with “Thirteen Evil Stars“?
９９４ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｃｋwｉｄoｃ
We’re soon going to hit 1000. Isn’t it fine like that, seeing how we won’t get anywhere even if we continue this thread indefinitely.
９９５ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｃｋeｉｓｄｊ
Filler
９９６ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｃｋeｉｓｄｊ

９９７ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：ｃｋeｉｓｄｊ

１０００ Nameless Adventurer ＩＤ：oｌｓeｋｄｉｃ
This settles “Thirteen Evil Stars.” However, Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer, is Nagano’s Demon King, Nanashi. That’s the only thing I won’t compromise on!
The name of the 13 Hazard Rank S Demon Kings, which has been decided in such a way, spread across forums, blogs, and SNS. At the point when the mass-media started to use it as well, it had become widely known in society.
