Black Summoner

- Demon King Castle/House

My father-in-law picked up Sylvia and the others from the transfer gate and rented the castle floor I had spoken to Bell about before to gather there. I had Sylvia, Emma, and Moment the only faces on the other side, just because what I was talking about was content. For some reason Nagua was fiercely protesting, but did you care so much? Well, it's about the purpose of our journey, naturally. This side is me and Colette in the follow-up role of Stra.

"Mr. Kelvin, once our leader has become a swordsman, why should I...?

"I trust you the most of the four disciples because it's a moment. The knife has gotten a little better, but it's still there, and Ya doesn't seem to like it, and Nana knows too much."

There is also my arbitrariness and prejudice that the moment is the most combative qualities of the four. The moment I fought Lion seemed to blossom something, something to keep an eye on. I always turn my head because I am wary of knives, and at this stage, a push disciple is an instant.

"I don't know if that's okay..."

"More than that, there's something I'd like to scratch first, isn't this the Imperial Castle...? You said grel barrelka, right?

Quickly Emma poked me where it hurts. You feel calm, you're back on track as usual.

"I can't help but hide it now. Emma's pointing it out."

"Um, if my learned knowledge is correct, it's where the old Demon King Army was based when it came to Grelbarelka, right? From what I saw, there were many demons in the castle, and the fact that he died a long time ago was a false story?

"No, you did almost die, didn't you? It's just that there's so much going on that Gustav the Demon King and all the Four Kings of Demons are back together..."

"Isn't that a big case!?

"Brother, too much discounting..."

Stra put me on my lap. Stra stunned me. Too many stories to explain, and your brother is not sure he can speak well. Mr. Colette, Mr. Stra, it's your turn! and make subtle eye contact.

"This is a matter in which we at Delamis are deeply involved. Let me explain it to you while you cross the border."

"If there's something I don't understand, I'll explain it to you. Feel free to ask questions."

Briefings were launched by two trusty gold sages, the Silver Virgin.

"Serra is the daughter of the demon king, Mel is the goddess, and her mother is the witch of Delamis--"

Even though Stra and the others talked about it, Emma entered her world whining and grumbling because of too much material information. This is going to take a while to sort out.

"... n"

Sylvia's reaction, on the other hand, is thin. Are you okay, this?

"Well, that's why our purpose is to defeat Elearis' messenger, proxy - Sister Ellen, and stop Elearis from being resurrected. Of course, we haven't decided who the deputy is, Mr. Ellen."

"But that's most likely, isn't it?

"... oh"

"Yeah, okay."

When Sylvia said so, she moved on to the task of returning the trans-state Emma to the real world with a gentle shake. That's a little quicker to understand than Emma, huh?

Stra, you're not using the unique skills of Retaliation Preaching, are you?

'There's no way I'm gonna use it on my friends! Even if you use it, it hardly works against Renoir or Ashley!

I'm pissed off...

Stra has evolved into a sage to meet a new unique skill, Retaliation Preaching. This skill is used during negotiations and is horrible to persuade someone by stuffing and make them nod their neck even if they knew it was an unfavourable condition. Since it is ineffective for the friendly and extremely effective for the defiant, it is arguably a skill to be used against the hostile. If Stra's words make sense, he loses his interest.

The remarkable aspect of retaliatory discourse is not to make them do so against their will, but to the point of convincing them wholeheartedly. Once Demon King Zell brainwashed the people with "King's Life," forced action creates unnaturalness. Stra's power, by contrast, is limited in object and use, but it is an enhanced version that controls the other's mind in a more natural way. Isn't that the strongest cheat skill in diplomacy with other countries? They also said it worked for the Vegarzeld of the Devil Four Heavens.

"... Sylvia, thank you. I managed to swallow it."

"Well, normal mind matters."

While we're at it, it looks like Emma's back. I'm still holding my head down, but Sylvia's stroking my head to keep me sensible.

"Hey, what was Sister Ellen like? It may not be a story to ask at a time like this, but I'd love to hear it if I could."

"What kind of person, is it? It's hard to put into words...... who is our mother, our master, our benefactor - who we respect more than anyone else, who is our goal in life? He picked us up who were unaccompanied orphans and raised us with plenty of love. Well, for publicly stating that I was sick and weak, I was fine, and I had strong arms, and I could do it."

"I learned all the swordsmanship, magic, and knowledge I needed to live from my mother"

"I miss you. Were they crying a lot back then when even two people couldn't stand their teeth at all..."

"Hooked up in a booby trap is a good memory"

"Yeah, well, if I did, it would take me a day to get out of the deep pit - he's such a teary-eyed person"

... Is that it? Something different than I imagined. At least it doesn't sound like a Sister, nor does it teach orphan children. My impressions are different from those of Ange and Bell's current deputies.

"Oh well. The root of Sylvia's and Emma's strength must be Mr. Ellen."

"Yeah, it's us with my mother's education. You were good at teaching other kids difficult studies and blossoming talent. Edward, my brother, who was nestled first from the Riflil orphanage, is now a politician in the Lizea Empire."

"Mr. Edward of Lisea, is it? That person is also famous for Delamis. Until then, pacifists ruled the belligerent domestic situation and sought means of symbiosis. Since Mr. Edward took office, the relationship between Delamis and Lisea has also softened considerably."

Do you know Colette, too? You've got a big man coming out again. It's called Sylvia, who became an S-class adventurer and a general of Trysen, and it also makes me feel like an orphanage is an educational institution. But what's the point of generating such talent in the world you're about to purify? Or are you miswearing the meaning of purification?

"I see Mr. Ellen is awesome. But it doesn't change our policy. As soon as Mud and Boga hear from us, who are chasing the survivors, we're going to the heart of their home god, but what are you gonna do? What's the moment?"

"... we want to help Mr. Kelvin, the goddess. I don't know how much help you can do, but I'd like you to take me with you if you can."

It's the way I expected it to be. But the power of the moments is still developing, sweet fruit before ripening. Perhaps this is the time for a demonic death march.

"Yeah, I see. What about Sylvia and Emma?

"I want to go with you and make sure with this eye"

"Are you sure?

"Mmm, sometimes times come when you have to make brutal decisions. But I won't stop. Think, keep thinking. Because that's what your mother taught you, too."

I am not lost in Sylvia's eyes. Though Emma has some wolves, her thoughts seem to agree. But can they really wave their swords, assuming that their mothers are evils that take their revenge on the world? I can't judge. Worst case scenario, it could be hostile on that side.

"... Got it. Then let's talk more about the decision."

That's delicious, no, I'll do everything I can to convince you then.
