Evening.

The king's capital was surrounded by ringwalls with the sound of bells sounding more than the heavenly ring walls above.

For the inhabitants of the Wang capital, the sound, the sight, was a symbol of the evening and at the same time a signal to mark the end of the day.

Ledo also heard the sound without exception and finished the work of preparing for the establishment in the name of lecture.

Then Yeli took me to greet Eisen, the Dean of the College, and I was in the position to say something, but I clapped it out with nothing in particular.

Ledo, who ended his greeting without a moment, asked Yeli to join him, so he decided to have dinner with Yeli in the dining room in the dorm. There was only a dining room in Dragon College on the boulder and the variety and quality of the food was high, and Redo was satisfied but only a little missed that slightly rough but somewhere relieved liquor store dish.

As the meal went through a paragraph, and Ledo mouthed it subtly in an attempt to get permission for Isabelle and the others to carry their weapons, Yeli sighed.

"So is Dr. Ledo..."

"Dr. Redo... too?

"Yes. Soon after the lecture, Dr. Gotland jumped into the head office. Let students have weapons. They told me to get my weapon ready..."

"Ha ha... I'll let my students have the weapons ready, though I'll be fine"

"No, you have a weapon phone in the first place..."

"I'm not letting you swing around the college. Dragon College also teaches you how to handle weapons and hands-on witchcraft, right? You can think of it as an extension. We need to defend ourselves, and we need to start by letting them have it so we don't use it cheaply."

Yeli with a bitter look on Ledo's words.

"... I'm a genius about swords and sorcery... Dr. Ledo's words only sound like pride to the strong... but it's not fair that you don't give permission only to Dr. Ledo"

"That means... did you give him permission? Sooner or later, the Gotland Knights will begin to build their own order in the Academy."

Yeli shook her neck to the side of Redo, who said so by putting her thing on the shelf.

"... I can't say Dragon College, but I can't get out too hard for the [Blood Table Knights]. Besides, he is the eldest son of the [old blood] Sillu family. The College is made up of significant donations from each house in [Old Blood]. You have to meditate on your eyes somewhat."

"You're part of the [old blood], aren't you?

"You don't have as much power as I do, Dr. Redo. So all you can do is take (...) Ba (...) La (...) n (...) s (...)

"Balance..."

With that word, I felt that Redo had finally grasped the essence of the man in front of him. Even if you can't do swords or magic... there are men who can fight.

"So it will be good. Allow weapons carriage only to students taking Dr. Ledo's lecture. However... I have said it many times..."

"You're strictly forbidden to pull swords or tease, right? I know."

"Yes. I think Dr. Ledo would be fine. But thirty at Dr. Gotland's... ten at Dr. Redo's... one (...) person (...)... I didn't know there would be so many weapons carriers... be really careful"

"Hmm? There's four of us at my place. Just the right number."

"Four? No, it can't be that. In the material I've seen, eleven students must have chosen the lecture."

Yeli turned her eyes round and raised her voice.

"No, there are a total of four international students Hina in Isabel, Redas and Nilun who are here today. What, are you still there?

"Wait. Why did those four give Dr. Ledo a lecture?... No way..."

Ledo narrowed his eyes when he saw Yeli, who was in a hurry. It doesn't look like an act, and apparently I don't know it for real.

"Sounds like there's something wrong with the information. Either way, I'm going to lecture those four. Well, you're welcome for more."

"But they are... students with that slight problem... it is inexplicable that they are all choosing Dr. Ledo's lecture anyway..."

"It doesn't matter. Besides, we're just making up our own minds about the problem kids, right? He's no different from the rest of my students. He's a fucking busy young man."

"… let us put this matter on hold. Something doesn't seem to be working. Perhaps the material about which students will take which lectures has been tampered with and turned to me. May I ask Dr. Ledo to keep those four?

"Absolutely. We're already building quite a relationship."

"It's a boulder..."

"Oh, yeah, I think I'll be soliciting requests within the college as part of my lecture, but, well, I don't cause problems, so I want them to flush appropriately"

That's what Ledo says, as usual, but Yeli sighed deeply again.

"No, no... there's a problem..."

"Well don't say that, Teacher Yelli. Let's promise we'll share the information. I might also know something about document tampering. There are some facts that I can't see when I only look into teachers. You can't make an out-of-the-box fool of yourself for exchanging information between students and running rumors?

"... ha... you're totally trying to tailor me as an accomplice... a scary person"

"Did you find out? Well, I mean it. I have no need or necessity to be hostile to you."

That was Redo's heart. What's more, I don't want to do as much as I can with that Gotland... unfortunately, Redo hated people of the knight type.

So I also thought I'd buy you any time they sold you a fight.

However, Ledo had an intuition that it seemed better to keep him on his side about Yeli. We decided that it would be better to have one more ally than someone who was moving in the back somehow, and Redo was going to use Yeli to the extent that he was not hostile, and give him the corresponding consideration.

Consideration… I mean information.

Redo was trying to build an Alliance branch to gather information. Most of these Dragon College students are the sons and daughters of royalty and luxury. Redo recognizes that their very existence is information. Even if Redo treated them like that as a teacher, he would get less information. If so, it is better to break bellies between relaxed students.

Moreover, putting it in the position of the client and the adventurer who receives it becomes an even more natural flow.

In other words, by creating an Alliance branch within Dragon College and making Isabelle and the others do their job, the information gathers under Ledo on its own. There's also information that adults never get.

It could be information that most of the time is not enough to take. I guess the majority of the information I don't care about.

But Redo placed more emphasis on quantity than on the quality of information. Anyway, it was better suited to Redo's sexuality to collect large quantities and scrutinize from them.

This was one of the purposes for which Redo came to Dragon College. Ledo has many ways of purchasing information about the positive attack route, the route behind it, but Ledo wanted a different angle of information from it. What a school thing... it's too closed.

And the other purpose of Redo...

"Teacher Yelli. This is also related to the lecture… I want to use [Tower]"

"Hmm? [Tower]? I don't mind that. For once, you need the permission of the director, Dr. Burgess. It's just hard for her... I don't know if I'll allow it."

"Oh, of course I'll get permission, so I want you to introduce me to that director... Hmm? Burgess? He (...) woman (...)?"

In order to analyze the mobile device containing the data of the old world obtained in the previous incident, Redo was about to request an analysis from Wangdu, the world's most advanced artefacts research institute, commonly known as the [Tower], within its state-of-the-art dragon college.

However, since the contents of the project only want to be kept confidential, I would like to start by looking for a trusted researcher...

When I heard the name Burgess, the face of a woman in the back of Ledo's brain turned.

"I don't mind. Oh, just fine. Here's Dr. Burgess, the director of [Tower] and a teacher of post-mortem arts at the university."

I turned my gaze to one elderly woman who Yelli came into the dining room. I don't care about the dirty white coat. I weave my feathers from the top of my teacher's clothes, and my bright brown stretched hair is bumpy, because of the cat's back or because it doesn't look that big for being tall. Sleepy grey eyes and makeup free face on a skinny body. She would be a beauty if she got familiar, but she seemed unwilling to do so to herself.

The hair color and eye color were very similar to that of Ledo.

"Whew..."

Seeing that look, Redo gave me a disgusting look. Unaware of it, Yeli spoke to the woman.

"Dr. Burgess! May I have a word?

…… It's unusual for a head teacher to use the cafeteria....... hmm? Is that it? "

Burgess alternately stared at Yeli and Redo sitting next to her with sleepy eyes, tilting her neck, and continued her words.

"(...) n (...) so (...) re (...) d (...) you (...) to (...)?"

"Oh? Did you know him? Then it's quick to talk. If you'd like to join us for dinner."

"Uh, excuse me, but I suddenly remembered an errand--"

It was Redo trying to leave his seat in a hurry, but Burgess grabbed Redo's shoulder from behind, coming to the table with a quicker move than he looked.

When Redo waved at him for an unnatural behavior that didn't seem like it, I didn't like Burgess's face as he narrowed his eyes and smiled, but it appeared in Redo's eyes.

"Long time no see...... Mr. Redo. What's the matter? Hurry up."

"Hi, it's been a long time...... Sister Callis (...) Sa (...) n (...)"

That's what Redo managed to say with a cramped grin.

Is it a coincidence? Is it again inevitable that Redo was reunited with Karis Anoma Burgess, who was married to the Burgess family, one of the (...) sisters (...) of the fruit (...), (...) Ri (...), [old blood].

Deep underground, there were countries where humanity had not yet realized its existence.

Its name is [Grey Hell]

It seemed inappropriate as a name for the country, but the inhabitants didn't care much about it.

The castle was located on the lowest level of such [ash hell]. It is integrated with the rock skin around it in a giant building made of steel and steel. At first glance, this castle looks like a decaying iron crumb, and the people who live there still don't care about that.

Father, I'm coming in.

While knowing it was pointless where it knocked, the Demonic Girl knocked to discipline and waited a while before opening the door.

The room was too heterogeneous to call the throne. Monitors. Machines. The cords and wiring were crawling around so much that the floor was invisible that the monitors and holographic displays filled the perimeter of the man sitting on the throne.

A line of numbers and letters flows dizzily on each monitor, and the man taps three keyboards as if playing.

"Father, how's the analysis progressing?

"Grimm? I see a lot of them."

A man's low voice sounds. Demon Girl - Grimm approaches the man.

The man looked like just a middle-aged man at first glance. Red hair caressed to the back, demonic eyes. One horn grown from the forehead. He was a middle-bodied, mediocre man with no distinctive traits as a demonic race. If there is only one characteristic, does it make the voice feel low and strangely heavy?

His name is Iglese.

He was the Lord of this castle and King of [Grey Hell].

That meant that he was the king of the demons, and that was precisely the man who was feared by mankind to be the [demon king]. But the smile he directed at Grimm, his real daughter, was his father's, and the title Demon King seemed disproportionate at first glance.

"But this... you're more arrogant than I expected"

The man put up his mobile device and stared at it jiggly. It's a mobile device containing data from the old world that Grimm obtained in Ougadar.

"Arre?"

"It's full of bad information. Grimm, is this data on the human side?

"Uh, yeah, sorry. The human side has it too."

"Well... it depends on how you treat this, it's gonna be the end of humanity. Well, I doubt we can analyze that much."

Grimm nods at Iglese's words.

"I just want to say that I can't do this to mankind because I'm finally your father"

"Hmm?"

"The person with the device is deeply involved with the ancient dragon. The apprentice is a dragoon."

Grimm smiled at the thought of an adventurer.

"Oh... again with the dragoon"

"Ask the ancient dragon for help... the analysis will be quick."

"I see. And then what happens... depends on humanity"

"They're stupid, so I'm sure I'll try to use them for boring things. King (...) destroy (...) the capital (...) destroy (...) let (...) ru (...) or something like that"

"I'm in trouble when they do that...... if Gaddis is a bad dither anyway"

Grimm smiled and suggested to Iglese, who looked troubled.

"Then why don't we grab the data?

"Hmm? No, you should stop. Dizzar is a dangerous place for us. There are too many [dragon claw marks] over there"

"But if you leave me alone, it could be a big deal, right?

"Hmm... yeah"

For a while Iglese conceived, pounding and slapping her hand as to whether something had flashed.

"Well... if I (...) move (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...)"

"... only Father is sloppy! I want to go to Wangdu too!

"But hey...... it's bad to go straight to the boulder. The [pseudo] for the grim is still tweaking, right?

"I'll make you do it on the express now, so wait a minute. I can't analyze it right away anyway. And I know more about human society and culture than anyone! I'm anxious to find out if he's the only one."

"Sure..."

Iglese, who started to think again. Grimm decided he could make another push, and he folded.

"And lately... Father, I miss you so much... my mother must be sad too"

Grimm looked up at Iglese looking sad. The eyes were slightly moist.

"... I have no choice. Do you want to go as soon as the [pseudo] for the grim can be adjusted?"

"Yay!! You know, there's someone I want you to meet with! He has the data and it's just fine!?

He, Iglese, reacts pickly to the word.

"Oh... I want you to meet him... he (...)... hey..."

Grimm hasn't noticed a slight leak of killing from Iglese.

"Then I'm going to help you adjust a little [pseudo]!

That's what Grimm said, jumping out of the throne.

"... I don't know what kind of bastard you are... I look forward to seeing you"

It was Iglese with an evil grin, but after a while she starts the analysis work again.

Thus Iglese the Demon King and his daughter Grimm began to prepare for the infiltration of the king's capital.
