Alihara Kite made contact with the divine beast that was lurking in the ruins of Orochi.

After the news was conveyed by the adventurer in his bedroom dress - temporarily, the castle fell into a sort of confusion.

It was also a big problem that Kate, a valiant squire, was caught, but more than that, it was a problem that nobody realized that the god beast, which had never been confirmed before, existed near this country's, which was also the city where I was moving as queen.

"... it's not a bad god beast. What a distant word..."

Without sending soldiers, the case was solved and Kite returned, but the information brought from him was vague inside.

“Silver Snake Dragon Medularium”

Meliá, the divine beast, who looked like the girl she named, was looking for a pure demon user named Kate.

I have heard that in view of the qualities that will prepare him, but other than that, Kate herself didn't seem to understand.

"... I don't know what to do"

Can you really reconcile yourself with that Medularium?

If it was an act, would you come to this kingdom to force Kate away?

——— What kind of damage is expected if something like a divine beast comes to light?

It's unlikely but not zero.

More importantly, as queen of this country, we must always think about the worst.

"You're starting to look like a queen. Jessica."

"Huh!?"

Behind me holding my forehead down and sighing loudly, there's a voice for something.

Looking back shaking his shoulders at that voice, there is a woman keeping her back on the window wall.

In the moonlight, I look at my gradually dewy reddish purple hair and I regain my composure while keeping my chest down.

"Me, Mr. Merck..."

"Merck is fine. You've been friends since you were a chick."

"It was over ten years ago."

---My mistress, Merck, who runs a small lodging house in this country where I can unite as queen.

Normally, I can't possibly go into my private room, which is the queen of this country, without permission, but only this one is different.

"I've already done my duty as queen."

She is also a divine beast who looked like the same person as the Meduliam.

The covenant made with my ancestors has kept me in the land - but at the same time she is also the greatest secret the royal family of the Kingdom of Hendil has conveyed.

"You're still crying anyway, but you're bothering my subordination."

"How do you know!?"

"Mm-hmm. You don't have to look. You know. You're no different no matter how old you are."

She shrugs her shoulders like a shrug, a human being herself everywhere.

A divine beast that blended into people and spent a long time.

That's her.

"... ha, why are you here now?"

"I thought you wanted to ask me something. That's why I came."

I cut out a story for her to face for the first time in a long time as I regain my calm.

"... why did you miss getting caught?"

In response to that question, Merck looks at this one with his arms together.

I thought she would handle some anomalies, and I would have told her that in secret... Kite got caught.

There's no way she won't notice that.

'Cause you didn't need help.'

"... he was dying?"

"It was the Reefers who were dying. He didn't mean to hurt Kite."

He didn't mean to hurt me...

Sure, Kate said that too, but I feel that what was happening at that ruin was a series of death fights, even modestly.

"In the first place, half the reason why I grabbed Kite is to satisfy my own desires, but the other half is to guide Kite purely."

"Locking him up would do him good?"

"Simply put, yes. Oh, don't get me wrong. That's not why it's right for you guys to lock up Kite. Being under the protection of the Divine Beast and even hiding his presence on it is a condition that“ traps "him."

So, Medulariam locked Kite in the basement and tried to stay away from interference from someone?

"Medulariam... what kind of god beast is Meliá? Is it dangerous?"

"He's more of a danger than a danger. To the best of my knowledge, I basically turn hostility to everyone. It's harmless itself if you don't interfere poorly, but if he cares about it, the continent dies in roughly three days."

"... mi, three days!?"

"Simply a big one."

Earliest, I can't imagine.

It's not the scale I can do something about.

"... Looks like there's something going on in St. Real in the future"

"? Yeah, I have a summons to summon brave men from all over the country."

It's like checking the brave man's abilities, how well he's got the qualities, finally face-to-face.

Answering the sudden question, Merck arms himself as he thinks.

"St. Real will demand that Kite accompany him."

"... why?"

Why would St. Real ask me to accompany Kate here?

Merck goes on to open his mouth to me, who cares.

"Because there are godbeasts in St. Real, too."

"Huh!?"

I raise a voice of surprise that I don't normally do to words I don't even think about.

'Cause it would be weirder not to be surprised by this.

Because God Beast is so unrelated to man.

"Besides you, there are godbeasts who blend into human life!?"

"I don't know what you look like now, though. But unlike me, he seems to be in St. Real for a purpose, so you better watch out."

Don't they think you're a freak?

The Merck thing is confidential only to the royal family...

"If possible, could you tell me?"

"I don't like it. It's too much trouble."

Grrr, groan and circle your thoughts.

Centreal - a city that handed out brave summoning ceremonies to each kingdom and made brave summons take place.

It is said that the power it possesses is comparable to that of the great powers, and in fact it crusaded against the march of the giant beast the other day with its strongest power in mankind: the Black Adventurer.

I can't believe there's a god beast in such a mysterious place...

"Is it true that the black adventurer of St. Real?"

The other day, a non-standard warrior who killed a giant beast and even defeated a Demon King's Army executive lightly.

There are precedents in front of us, and possibly the possibility that the divine beast is becoming an adventurer and wielding power......

"Saana."

"Don't you have a community of gods and beasts or something? Exchange information or something!"

"Ready? We're basically not close. Ferrihelt's better, but he's just capable weather."

The very story of poor friendship between divine beasts is too scary.

It would be a miracle if we just didn't fight or something with some applause so far.

Anyway...

"... we should hurry to talk about the sharing of Hendil and Firgen's squire"

I cannot refuse a request from St. Real.

They have that much influence, and they must comply with that demand at a time when they have used the brave summoning ceremony to summon Reefa to the brave.

"I can't believe this is happening..."

I noticed him and Merck's presence again when Reefa offered to stay at the Merck Inn.

In a normal inn - not to mention a place like having a boy of my age, where I can't possibly allow her to stay - I figured I'd leave Reefa with her, knowing there was Merck in the inn.

As a result, she was able to get a good understanding and a partner.

More importantly, it was a common thing for us to have a kite that compensated for the faults of Reefa where it was a bit missing.

"... did Kate come to the inn where you are meant to be?"

Second, I feel my voice go low on my head speculation.

Merck laughed bitterly at me like that, pulling out his shoulder strength.

"No? It's just a coincidence that some asshole sitting at our house brought us here. Honestly, I haven't seen an aura of pure gold demons in hundreds of years and I'm more surprised."

"Really?"

"Oh.... but it's also true that I had nostalgic feelings. Just like the previous Lord, he has a happy and thin face."

... Is there no point in lying here?

In the first place, there's no question about this one because he's a person who even wants to be bothered to lie.

Convinced with a sigh.

"My role is only to see through. That's why I've cooked normally without undue interference and fed them. It's what I like and do."

"I used to be an adventurer, too, so I wish I could help you"

"It was almost a hundred years ago. I'll never do an adventurer again."

Well, my grandmother just told me and I know.

How powerful is this person?

I'm interested, but let's just imagine what she voluntarily wields power in the middle of something terrible going on.

"... is there anything else you'd like to hear? Then I'll go home because I have my plans for tomorrow."

"Yeah, I don't have any more. Thanks."

"Oh."

That said, wave to Merck, who turns his back here, and then pour water into the empty cup placed on the table to moisten his throat, moisturizing his throat.

"Oh, I forgot to mention one thing. I've dared to hide it before, but Reefa has the blood of a god beast mixed with it."

"Buuuuuu!?"

"Leave that to Kite. You'll be fine. Bye."

"Hey, hey! Don't wait."

Spraying water out of her mouth as much as she could, she looks back at Merck, but she's already nowhere to be found.

All I could see was an unmade window and the lights of the streets of the Kingdom of Hendil that I could see from it.

... I left with a hell of a thing to say at the end.

It's a hassle to be questioned...

"Really, it won't change... that guy..."

Is God Beast basically a lot of selfish people?

With that in mind, I suppressed my forehead and groaned.
