If I were to be honest with you, it would have been unexpected.
However, it is difficult to answer inside when asked what it is about.
Because it's a feeling for more than one matter.
It was something I could discover in one shot after searching for the right suspicious spot, or if I was going to give up if I was going to be suspicious or troublesome, I would have been welcomed with no problems whatsoever... and then the decision date would be tomorrow.
Really, it was just unexpected.
And then... the sight in front of you is also one of them.
- Pull over.
Breathe out small into those words past the back of your brain.
Or maybe even around the U.N. crowd... one way or another, more than I expected.
More than I expected, it was a situation I could only say no to.
Yeah, except you could honestly say it was unexpected in terms of the number of people that are gathering.
There are more than a hundred people gathered just looking over.
I am impressed that this is all that we have gathered so often... but that is why we cannot hide the fright at the same time.
Especially because of how everyone and he believe in success.
――――――――
And the instant field boiled.
Perhaps someone spoke of something brave as well.
It's as if I hadn't heard, but I can easily predict what I said.
Soon after, their gaze was directed at us all at once.
Besides, I'm no longer in the mood to return a loving laugh, so I shrug my shoulders back, but still springs up again, so I guess I can do anything anymore.
What are we going to do about it, and what are we going to do about it?
Well, as for there, I guess I'm responsible too.
I honestly explained this identity because it seemed troublesome and there was no point in hiding it, and I tried to show some power because it was also troublesome to be insulted, but they made the extra situation worse because of it.
I thought it would be okay, but I could be sure that this would be absolutely fine.
That's what I said and the eyes I've been pointing at this one... still pointing at it. I feel the dark starch there and breathe one small breath.
That's not just for one person, it's for everyone, and that's why I wanted you to give me a break.
I can just as well be treated like that.
Even if it didn't actually make any difference.
"Totally... oh man"
Squeeze, as disputed by the avid air.
But in a way, Stina exhaled, saying that maybe this was what she deserved.
Early the next morning.
Soma and the others left the village early because there was nothing left to do.
We were supposed to head southwest, but the destination was changed to Demon King Castle, so we're heading northwest.
According to Eina, this is the only way to get to Demon King's Castle, but is there a connection where you can't move on without taking certain steps?
I was thinking about that... but by moving on, I knew what it meant.
It was simply, geographically.
"I'm sure this has to come from here."
"A stronghold surrounded by rugged mountains, is it… Arimori if you say so, but that's how it works"
"... but it's not like we can't go from anywhere else?
"Well, well, if it was just rude, it might have been. But is it right that we need to follow proper procedures? Because there are powerful demons unleashed around us, and they're starting to attack those people."
"I see..."
That seemed to be the specification of the place where the Demon King lived for a long time.
But that, in other words, shows one fact.
"Hmm... does that mean the Demon King can manipulate demons?
Although it has often been said that demons can manipulate demons, that demons are to blame for the demons, and so on, that basically should have been just an argument.
Skills do exist to teach and serve demons, but naturally that is not the exclusive patent of the Demons.
Instead, it can't be used just because it's a demon tribe or something.
"Right... technically, not the Demon King, but the subordinate... in this case, should we call it proximity? Well, you can have those people. Nevertheless, there are limits to numbers and ranges, and it seems to be best served by just letting them protect the mountains here."
"Just... I think it's too much?
I agreed.
Although not as good as the mountain surrounding Radius, the mountain here is also quite something.
Just because I'm letting him loose here would be too much.
The skill of Tame to use ordinary demons in the first place should only cover about one to two people.
You ignore that lightly, so that's near the side of the Demon King or something.
"I don't think that guy wants you to tell him either. So the demons that are unleashed here are demons, but they are also protecting us. That's why you can't hunt when you're nagging... Okay, you guys?
"They say so, Sheila?
"... maybe about Soma"
"You're saying they are...! Both of them!
"Yikes, it is"
"... Yikes"
"Weird!"
To Eina's cry, the Somas shrugged their shoulders all together.
Point that gaze at the demon you just hunted.
Yes, before I heard the current story, Soma, who saw a steep mountain, climbed up there just for now.
Then he was immediately attacked by the demon and repelled as a matter of course... the somas who saw it sparkled their eyes.
Because it was such a monster that I had never seen or heard of it before.
Besides, it was also quite strong.
Though it was all a combination of views, Soma couldn't defeat it with one blow.
Strong demonic materials are often used for special applications.
Because it may contain magic or produce special effects only.
What's more, it's rare.
If...
"... I thought it would be a good research material"
"Uhm... it's a heartfelt shame.... Can't you just take that? Look, I've already defeated him."
"I'm telling you it's ours too. That won't change if they take you down. Well, I don't know what else to do if this is someone else, but you guys, I mean, not especially soma."
"Isn't that terrible? It wasn't on purpose, was it?
"Well, I didn't pay attention to mine beforehand this time. I'm sorry, and I don't care about that. But if I give you permission to do it badly, that's all."
"No, no, that's too much to think about, isn't it? It's just... I don't think that only the same demons are released, and then there could be a lot of other rare demons here. With that in mind, if you were to do routine bareback or something, the mountains would be cut off by mistake, and then a rare demon would be hunted... I wonder if that's what happened, etc., you don't think about it at all?
"Thank you for not convincing enough words. And I knew I couldn't."
"Yikes, it is"
Though I shrug my shoulders again when I say that, of course it's just a joke now.
Eina's words are, too.
However, I'm probably serious that you can't.
Although it is true that I want to use it as a research material, it is probably not a good idea to do so.
Whatever it is, it is an immediate guardian around the castle of the Demon King.
Even demons don't deserve surprise where troubles were planted there.
Well, you won't even bother to step on the mines you're seeing.
"By the way, I know you can't take that back, but what do you do then?
"Well, if we leave it here, we'll be back in the dirt one of these days... it's going to be an array of things between now and then"
"... throw it down in the mountains?... instead of bait, two birds with one stone?
"I wonder if it was carnivorous...... well, that's not nasty, shall we take it? Tell me what's going on, and I think someone will take care of it properly. So, Soma, please."
"Hmm? Are you my age?
To the words, Soma tilted her neck.
Nevertheless, if they say who carries it, surely that would mean the role of soma -
"That's what you took down, and it's natural to take responsibility, isn't it?... Well, it's simply true that I'm unlikely to be able to carry anything other than you. I know you know that, but it's heavier than it looks."
"Hmm, I don't mind that... but if I could, I'd like to fulfill my responsibilities by looking into every corner."
"… then, cooperate"
I thought you said no.
"... Yikes"
"... didn't you remember Sheila was weird again because Mr. Soma would do something extra"
"I think it's a little too windy for me?
"If that's what you think, weigh yourself a little. There's a mountain there, so Mr. Soma is a little too free today to climb unexpectedly like that. Well, as usual, today is a misdemeanor."
That was a bit self-conscious, so I'll be honest with you and reflect on it.
The proximity of Demon King's Castle made me a little nervous.
Because I have a lot to think about.
"Now, let's just say that we will carry them with us."
Enough of the bullshit and head to the falling demon.
By the way, that demon that Soma defeated had a bull-like appearance at first glance.
But no matter what you think, it can't be a cow.
Because cows don't have a third eye on their foreheads, and they don't wrap thunder around their bodies when they rush in.
Those things happened and I wanted to do a lot of research... well, I just have to obey more than they say I can't.
Together, if you try to lift that cow-like demon as it is, the weight shifted to your arms.
He is about two metres long and would have a ton if he were a cow, but based on the weight he felt on his arm, he would probably be more than double that.
Like Eina said, this has to be soma to hold.
Sheila is good at instantaneous power, but she's not for this.
Eina and Felicia did not go so far as to say, that Soma inevitably had to carry them.
"Well, let's go."
"Right...... are you okay? If it sounds hard, I can help..."
"No, if you try to help me poorly, Aina's going to crumble. Take only your feelings."
"... right?
You said it yourself, and this is how you care, so it's totally like Eina.
I smile bitterly and shrug my shoulders.
It was at the foot of the mountain that Somas resumed their steps.
It's just a regular path, and the mountains are interrupted there - no?
"This could be..."
"... not something that came from the beginning, but made it later?
"I mean, you know, just looking at it... that's what I'm saying, right? He forcibly chose a part of the mountain and built the Demon King's Castle there. My predecessors... No, the demon kings of my predecessors and so on."
"How is it supposed to be called the Demon King or the Demon Nation that all sorts of things differ from being the Demon King?"
While we talk about that, we go further where it became that path.
Not the tunnel, there's nothing there by the time it's stunning.
There must have been quite a few things here to see the mountain that had gone on so far... but it was a beautiful decision, so let's see how awesome it is.
"It's a little uncomfortable for Mr. Soma to say the word awesome, etc."
"Hmm? Why is that?
"Oh, I can see that somehow. Soma would normally be able to do the same."
"No, that's a little too much for me."
That's right, Soma, too, would be pretty hard to create this much.
The only thing you can use soma for in the first place is just sword moves.
In other words, its essence is to slash something.
The mountain is too big to kill.
As I said earlier, even if it is done, it is precise enough to wipe out about half of it.
"... I have too many scratches on things and I'm not sure what to say..."
"I agree, but I feel like soma at the same time."
"Oh, sure, I think so,"
"I think they say whatever they want..."
"... naturally.... by the way, soma"
"Yeah? What's the matter?
"... So what if these powers were directed at Soma here?
"Hmm..."
To the words, somehow look around, then nod again.
These powers here.
I think that's a tremendous force to flatter.
Something that Soma would never be able to use.
If it were directed at me...
"Well, you'd slash it, normally"
"... you know, even Mr. Soma said he couldn't? And yet, can you slash it?
"I don't think you'll know exactly what it is unless you try it... but maybe you can kill it to this extent, right?
In short, it's simply the difference ahead of the force.
What made this happen was the force that made it specialized in destructive power, and what Soma unleashed was the force that made it specialized in amputation.
If you say so, the former is the surface, and the latter is the line.
No one has said that we don't need to have equivalent force on the line to destroy the surface… in the first place, we are losing with comprehensive force.
"I don't know what to say... soma is really soma"
"... Sounds like soma"
"Take it as a compliment"
In the end, though, that's only an assumption.
If it's the power of the limit that creates this, we're only talking about it.
I don't know where the cap is or anything like that unless I actually try it.
And I don't know how the replacement of the Demon King will take place... but normally, it wouldn't be that weaker than it was in previous generations.
In other words, the demon kings of today could be much stronger than the opponents who made this happen.
At the end of the road, which lasted forever, only one building could be seen.
Something like that must be Demon King's Castle.
And when Soma looked there, he narrowed his eyes, so that he could see who was there.
If I were to be honest with you, it would have been unexpected.
However, it is difficult to answer inside when asked what it is about.
Because it's a feeling for more than one matter.
It was something I could discover in one shot after searching for the right suspicious spot, or if I was going to give up if I was going to be suspicious or troublesome, I would have been welcomed with no problems whatsoever... and then the decision date would be tomorrow.
Really, it was just unexpected.
