Then, if I took the super express lil, it would take me about two hours to get there. When it was about six hours since I was slow.

- All right, I see you.

Alfiero, an example city on the border that has been visited several times, shows up before us.

As always, there seems to be a lot of people in and out, and even now, much past noon, you can still see the lines lined up at the main doors set on the city's exterior walls.

By the way, I didn't go straight to King's Capital in Lil, and I first came to this city because this time it's not that urgent.

We didn't have time before, so we ran to Wang Capital in Lil at the risk of finding it.

So this time we are going to take the carriage out of this neighboring city with Nell and relax and head to the Wang Capital.

It's a leisurely carriage trip.

Let's just say I'm going easy.

I get off the lil in the bush a little further away from the city, give Nell a hand to get him down, and he pounds around Lil's forehead.

"Thanks, Lil. I'll be fine when I get home."

Now, there's a handy silo necklace for a dungeon return device.

The return is for a moment.

"I don't know how long I'll be home, blah, blah, blah. I'll take care of the dungeon. If anything happens, rely on Leffi. - So did you guys, I asked you."

"Ku."

As Lil thanked us, the other pets in the back also drool their heads together.

They dropped me off and Nell and I headed for the front door.

"Welcome to the city of Alfiero - huh? That's a face I've seen."

Close to the bare streets, in a smoothly flowing line, and when it's our turn, the gatekeeper's soldiers come calling out like that.

This soldier...

"... Could it be an old man who's been a gatekeeper here before?

"I knew the way you put it, some fucking kid. Long time no see."

"Heh... it's been quite a while, but you remember your face properly"

"Well, that's what you're good at and you're assigned this job."

That's what I said, to, and a smiling soldier's old man.

I see... do you have a good memory, this old man?

I honestly admired it awesome.

"Today... Oh, is it the old Saint Knight who sent you? There was another one, wasn't there?

"You really remember me well. He's not following me because he doesn't have any business this time. Hey, Holy Knight."

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Right.... That said, I, the Holy Knight."

Boss, later in the day, I thought I heard words I shouldn't have heard, but I decided not to care and keep saying things to the old soldier.

"So, can I come in? This time, I can show you my proper ID, too, okay?

"Haha, right. Fine, enjoy yourself."

To an old man who laughs joyfully, me and Nell meet up and then - I just tried to dive in the gate, and I can be stopped again.

…… Oh, Lord Nell!! And, demon......!!

- When Nell and I turned our faces in the direction that we heard that voice, there was a soldier who looked familiar several times.

The warrior-inspired look of that war... is certainly the man who was the commander of the army that attacked the Demonic Forest.

He was just coming out of a stuff-like place set up at the gate, and he comes running over here in a panic with a pretty surprised look on his face.

What are you so anxious about?

"Long time no see, Commander's old man"

"... I don't know why you guys are together... Lord Nell, I'm sorry to bother you, but could you come to the Lordship Hall as soon as possible?

"? What is it? Something unsavory...?

To Nell's words, the commander's old man continues his words with a look that crushed the bitter bug.

"... in the center, Gotagota is supposed to be pretty bad. Before Lord Nell went on an expedition to the demonic realm, it wasn't quite there yet... but there's an agenda in the center about Lord Nell himself."

"My agenda?

He nodded cocklessly at Nell with a strange look on his face.

"Ah. Pretty troublesome story. - Anyway, will you come to the Lordship Hall once and see the Lords?

"... Ooh, okay?

"If it's about you, there's no reason to say no."

"... thank you, Oh-ho. - Then, uh... Mr. Gamdia, was it? Thank you for your guidance."

"Thank you. Follow me."

That's the third time Nell and I have visited the Alfiero City Lordship Hall.

"Oh, Lord Nell! And, demon king!? Why are you here?

In the office room, the man buried in the paperwork - indeed, the lord of this city, named Raylow, shows almost the same reaction as the old commander who led us so far.

Something... feels even worse than before.

Hair retraction is severe, and the neighborhood under my eyes is supposed to be terrible.

Hey, it feels worrying to watch.

"... old man, I'll do this"

…… What's this? "

An old lord who receives the advanced potion I took out of the item box and looks at this one with surprise.

"It's like a nutrient. Drink it and you'll almost get sick, so drink it when you're about to fall down."

Well, it's a little intense, and it could rather work too well.

"... thankful. I'm barely asleep here... so much so that I get something like this from you..."

And, after saying that in a self-derisive manner, he goes on to say the words in a way that he has regained his mind.

"So, Demon King, what are you doing here? Lord Nell can still tell..."

"I've decided to marry Nell."

"... what? Hey, what?

"No, I decided to marry Nell. But he's a brave man, isn't he? So I came over here to talk to you about the neighborhood."

Even telling me as a matter of course, the lord's old man rubs his brow between his fingers in such a way that his head looks painful.

"............... hey, give me a minute. You think the Demon King will marry a brave man? Duh, what happens, to a result like that...... or is that true?

"... well, that's... that's the thing"

Nell, speaking to the lord's old man, shakes his head slightly and vertically as he blushes a little next to me, agreeing.

He's such a cute little animal.

Bruises.

Brave bruises.

It bruises the area that is completely natural operation. Forgive me because I'm cute.

"............... okay, I have a lot to say, a lot really, but I don't know that area anymore. Do whatever you want."

"Oh, I will."

I'll laugh and answer him like that.

"... If that's the case, well, would it have anything to do with you?... Anyway, I'll leave that story to you I didn't hear. What matters now is the story of Lord Nell."

"... what happened while I was gone?

An old lord with a tough face on Nell who hears that in fear.

"First, let's talk about the current situation in this country -"
