It was in a dim cave there.
A place surrounded by woods, out of sight of people.
visitors and others who would not have appeared in a long time. There, a voice of man sounded unexpectedly.
"Hmm, not bad in there...... no, should I say I'm good at unfamiliar? Damn, that's me..."
And so he groaned contentedly, and the man - the Demon King - nodded.
Lift your mouth as you gaze at the wall in front of you and narrow your eyes so you can see ahead.
"Well, it's true that it was somewhat unexpected... including that, I should say. I didn't expect to get this kind of power. It seems like a good start inside. … but we can't publish it in large measure yet."
The demon king, who said so and rattled his nose, also made him feel slightly dissatisfied in the grin that made him feel the pleasure.
Most certainly not.
Try to hide. You're in a place like this because you're practically hiding.
Of course not.
I do... because if I'm not dumb enough to rush a pig, I'm not dumb enough to overconfidence my powers and ramble without any thoughts.
No... no longer, should I say?
"Hmm... it's also a business belly"
When it comes to learning, it sounds good, but the point is, that's all I've become afraid of.
Something that could be the Demon King.
"But it was worth it. And this debt, it multiplies and pays me back. … well, let's start with your ex-companions and those involved."
Imagine what would happen next, and the Demon King hoists up the edge of his mouth even further.
If we go as we aim, it will be time for something interesting.
But the Demon King never sees it.
That sounds like fun... but now I have more to do than that.
It is to be able to use this power to a fuller extent.
It means, therefore, further enhancing your own power.
He turns his gaze toward one arm that still hurts, slightly lurking his eyebrows, but squealing his nose.
Too much has been found that more power could be wielded than it once was.
If that price is to be paid to this extent, it would be acceptable.
But no matter how much power you wield, it doesn't make any sense to be wielded by it.
"We can't just fail this time... well, we can't"
Look at the end of the wall as you loosen the fist you were squeezing with the whine.
What's going to happen, what's going to happen.
Imagining and contemplating those things, the Demon King pleasantly or violently distorted his mouth.
The journey from then on would be something that you wouldn't mind saying is going well in itself.
Nothing in particular had happened that would have been an obstacle, and it was proceeding as planned.
However, that progress does not mean that nothing happened.
It just didn't happen to be an obstacle, that's all.
"... there's no way things are going to be handicapped when Soma is around."
Whimpering in a shuddering mix, Aina looked at the sight in front of her.
Dozens of demons, and they vanish in an instant.
"Sure...... now you can't call it a fault where it happened. Well, I knew it."
"Right. I've got nothing to do, and to be honest, I'm a little dissapointed."
"Isn't that also what you knew?
"Oh, yeah."
And when we were having such a chat, Soma, who remained on the spot even after the demon disappeared, came back here.
Apparently, he was on alert just in case, but there's no other enemy shadow.
I guess that face still doesn't clear because this is still Neumont territory.
"Hmmm... I'm not trying to be optimistic, but maybe this is more of a problem than I thought."
…… Really? Sure, you have a higher chance of encountering demons than you thought... that's not what you meant, is it?
"Oh...... well. Speaking of which, I never told Felicia about this place."
Eina was convinced that Felicia's reaction, I see, was reasonable.
I was a little concerned that Felicia's reaction was dull, even if she was attacked by demons on the road, which is more natural then.
Soma was thinking the same thing, he snorted... but as a matter of course, he doesn't know why.
Felicia turned her unhappy gaze from somewhere and smiled bitterly.
"I don't know if this is the Duke's territory... but simply because Mr. Sophia is ruling it as a proxy. There must be no demons in the realm. Technically, they take you down as soon as you get out. So being attacked by demons like this means there's no way at that point, and there's evidence of unexpected problems happening."
"They'll take you down soon, right... that doesn't mean you're just constantly watching, does it? After all, you can't sleep very much."
"I haven't heard the details, either, but I do have demon squares rolling out all over the territory, and I'm starting to intercept them half automatically, was that it? He had to look around regularly to see how the demon squares were doing and replenish their magic."
"Well, that's pretty much how it's supposed to be. As for him, he said it would be quicker to patrol directly."
"Either way, that's a great story... I can't imagine how I could do that"
I agreed.
That should be said to be one of the Seven Kings... Quality is said to be equal to that of the Devil's Heavenly General, but honestly it is about as suspicious as it is true.
It is because he has the same exquisite class of magic guide that he thought so.
"Speaking of which, if you think only of your skills, you're on par with Eina... Does that mean Eina can do that too?
"Don't be unscrupulous, you can't do it. Honestly, I'm not sure I can do that at the same age as Mr. Sophia."
"Ha... I thought you were, but you're still awesome"
"Well, they're Soma's mothers, aren't they? If you think about it, it's more natural."
I said that and turned my gaze to Soma, and he shrugged his shoulder back.
I can't even feel the way I care about these words at all, and it feels like they make sense of how much this one thinks.
Well, I suppose I'd say it sounds soma, including those places.
"Whatever, but it's supposed to be, the demons have attacked me like they did earlier... meaning they haven't been intercepted..."
"... I see. So it could be more problematic than I thought."
"You know what? The magic of the Devil's Square should never expire in a day or two. So it's already been more than a few days since something happened... or there's a good chance that something happened to the Demon Squad or himself."
Which it is, I wouldn't dare put it in my mouth.
Sometimes I don't know, but most of all, I can't imagine.
At any rate, we made no stopovers or anything to get through Neumont territory in the shortest possible time, but we still had to pass some villages.
But I've been passing through it because I was in a hurry... and because they were deserted.
Just as we saw in the mansion, it felt like only people had disappeared neglectfully.
And naturally, they haven't been able to find a clue.
In other words, so far, no clues have been obtained as yet.
Needless to say again after this, it is clearly an anomaly.
But in terms of that, Soma didn't seem to care so much.
Regardless of the demons, you were supposed to be there.
Either way, it's another person who's checking the situation and starting to lose his composure every time he moves on.
"... Sheila, are you okay?
".................. it's okay"
Aina exhales small, sideways at that figure who answered so, no matter how she sees it.
Sheila, who hasn't spoken at all since earlier, has hardly even turned her face, although she only answered Felicia's query.
If you do stay hooded, it won't make much sense because you can't see your face... but it won't be due to that reason.
Even as Felicia turns her gaze like she's in trouble, this one just shrugs her shoulders in alignment with Soma.
Now there is nothing that can be done, and there is no word that can be spoken.
The reason Sheila is doing that is simple.
Because this place is already plugged out of Neumont territory.
Yet I haven't seen one of the residents so far either... which means that this anomaly is likely to be happening in the future as well.
Ahead - even Baron Arvent Yardster, is.
Sheila used to live there and it was still where Doris was supposed to be.
It's easy to say it's okay, but it won't even give you a break.
So Felicia also exhales a sigh that will be several times, and she turns back to this one.
I'm sure it's to have the same conversation with this one as before.
Of course it's for me too...... more than that, so that I can distract Sheila a little.
Damn, she is a naughty little sister.
But there's also a reason to keep that care out of the way.
Besides, I'm sure there's not just one person who needs to be distracted.
So when Aina also turned her gaze to Felicia, she put a bitter smile on her mouth.
It was in a dim cave there.
