"Who is it!

Phyllia jumps over my executive desk and sets up a sword.

I use a sword because I'm good with spears, Phyllia, but I don't take them around in the room very well.

There seemed to be an unexpected visitor when he arrived at the Gornew Fortress and rested in a room appreciated by Anna after receiving a greeting from his history of first arrival.

Phyllia has a sword tip on a door where no one is, no, a shadow stretching out of a bookshelf next to the door.

"I'm sorry about this. There is no hostile will for a certain person, so please give me your sword."

When I saw people coming out of the shadows nowhere, I said, "It's SF!" I almost screamed.

Well, I could if I wanted to, too.

It's a shadow crossing that can be used in the dark magic hero class.

But that's Phyllia, because she moved in reaction to the slightest sign of this man in the shadow of the bookshelf, so there wouldn't be any more escorts as a protected side.

Then suddenly it's weirder not to be alert to the guy who's lurked in the shadows, but like this guy says, there doesn't seem to be any hostile will.

"So, who are you?

"I would like to ask Lord Brute Ease at the behest of someone named Atrei Sun, and it depends on what he says."

I did push it on my own, but now, what pops up?

Feelia stares at a man named Atrey Sun who appeared in front of her without alarm.

Atrei has a clear skin whiteness and thin body lines, but is definitely a strong man.

It also entails an unusual atmosphere, which would be swallowed by it if it wasn't for me or Phyllia.

"So, what can a vampire do for me?

Instead of me being upset, Atrey Sun, spotted as a vampire, moves his eyebrows pickly.

And Phyllia seems to have stepped up her guard when she finds out he's a vampire, too.

This uninvited guest named Atrei is a vampire.

Vampires are a superior race among demons, and many demons are races hostile to humans.

But not all of them, so even the demons are not persecuted in the Holy Bandham Kingdom, but vampires are rare and I have never seen them.

Vampires are also said to be clans of the night and clans of darkness. There are several records of vampires appearing in the past, but all of them are records of the worst.

With all those records in the first place, it's good enough to say that my heart test against vampires sucks, but I'm not willing to discriminate on a pedigree that a race would be a vampire or a demon.

They are in front of me even though vampires, a species commonly described as extremely disastrous, haven't even called them.

"A certain figure should be a human being, why do you think a certain one is a vampire?

"I don't care about that. Tell me what you need to do. Otherwise, leave immediately."

Why do you have to teach him my abilities?

I need to talk to you about something.

"... aye. I understand. Some of the reasons I wished for it were to ask Lord Brute Ease to protect my family."

"Protection of the clan?

"Dear Left, Lord Brute Ease is quick to talk because he has already spotted a certain identity. Our demons are the object of persecution in St. Orion's country, so it is up to them to seek shelter in peace."

I have certainly heard that in St. Orion countries the Demons are pest treated.

Vampires among such demons are raised to the head of dangerous races with special treatment.

"One confirmation, you say Demon Clan, but your clan is not a vampire?

"The answer is yes or no. One is the head of a vampire clan, and each of the other clans has a head. And one is also the head of all races."

"Huh."

"You're unresponsive."

You don't have to make any more noise, do you?

It's just that I can't immediately answer the question of protecting the Demons, either.

I know this guy isn't lying, but that's why I'll stop judging him.

Oh, I need to hear it before I do.

"Protection, but what's in it for me if I protect you guys?

"Unlike people, we excel in physical abilities and demons, so why don't we dedicate one Demonic Crystal of Rank A Demons each year, and if demons are out of the hands of the violent people in the realm, we increase our strength?

If rank A, Carla and Peron can crusade one, and Phyllia can crusade one, naturally.

Me? I'd feel like a Rank A demon twisting a baby's hand.

However, it is generally known that the crusade of Rank A demons will require a large crusader.

He says he crusades one of them every year and gives away demonic crystals, so much so that a normal nobleman can get his hands out of his throat.

Demonic Crystals of Rank A Demons with extremely low Crusade Achievements rarely appear on the market.

"I'm not going to give you an instant answer, tell me the size and race composition of your clan. Talk to your subordinates and make decisions."

"We look forward to a wise decision."

That said, Atrei gets his hands on the nostalgia.

Of course, Phyllia reacts and restricts her behavior.

When I slowly got my hands out of my nose as Firia instructed, I was grabbing one piece of paper.

"This is a description of the composition and size of the clan. To Lord Brute Ease."

Atrei disappeared into the shadow of the bookshelf when Phyllia received the paper with caution from the hand offered by Atrei.

"You don't think I'd mind? There's as much land left in the Brute East region as there is, so why don't we give it some land and take the form of an autonomous community?

Carla accepts affirmations without much restraint.

"So, what do you think of Peron?

"... first, raise the conditions. I think the conditions offered are those of coveted things if you're in another house, because they don't benefit you so much in the Brute Ease family. And if we accept it, we should disperse our forces in a few places."

Well, even a Rank A demon in the Brute Ease family today can't be a major threat.

Although there may be some damage in the first place, there are a few that can be crusaded, such as me and Karla, and even though crusading with a few people is impossible, they also retain a military force that can be crusaded on several platoon sizes.

But Perón also became quite a housekeeper, a former Perón would have made humanitarian judgment a priority, but now Perón began to spin words considering the interests and risk hedges of the Brute Ease family.

There will still be shortages, but it would be nice if you had the experience.

Perron has the highest authority in decision-making in the Brute Ease family, except for me and Dorothy.

I also have the power of command over Federer if I have to, that is the authority of my lord.

"Demons are dangerous. You'll have to be careful to keep more than 2,000 demons in your territory."

Federer, who keeps security, is in the direction of refusal to accept.

"From the point of view of policing, we still have to give a cautious opinion"

Gael also refused to accept.

"So, what about Egnacio?

"I propose to add a proposal to the opinion of His Royal Highness the House"

"Well, what is Egnacio's proposal?

"Decentralizing and managing the Demons is similar to the opinion of the House of Lords. To add to that, I think it would be a good idea to impose military service on species that are good at fighting, such as the Auga and Giant tribes, and let those who are good at covert actions like vampires work under the umbrella of Lord Clara. We will give Arakune and other species the produce typical of Arakune yarn, and we will decide whether it is better to leave it to them to raise demons, etc."

Lord Sage seems willing to use the Demons!

Well, don't accept those who don't have to work, I say.

Hmm? Say it ~? Well, let's put aside the details.

"I agree with Perón and Egnacio! The Demon Nation manages it in small numbers, and those who can use it use it!

Clara is a good place to pick it up, all the way in favor of acceptance.

Pritz is not here because he's in covert action, so he abstained.

"The Demons are dangerous, but Ensign Egnacio's proposal is unattractive. But do they make it good? And when you conscript demons publicly, isn't it a lot of trouble externally?

Is Federer leaning towards acceptance?

And, put that down, I do think conscripting demons is quite dangerous externally.

I have not publicly persecuted or discriminated against in the Kingdom of Holy Bandham, but nevertheless, on a civilian level, the Demonic Nation is afraid and thinks narrowly of its shoulders.

When it goes to another country, it doesn't hold its teeth anymore, and the Demons have no choice but to hide and live or fight against humans to protect their land.

If such demons were to be publicly subordinated, we could expect a stronger wind against the Brute Ease family.

"So we put it on hold when it comes to military service, and otherwise add it to the condition that they cooperate with us in the peculiarities of the race, and that for the time being we don't make public about the Demons?

"It would be a reasonable line."

Everyone nods at me and Egnacio.

"Ok, let's accept that condition"

Atrei Sun accepted the terms I put out without much thought.

Perhaps to that extent was the scope of the expectations.

"I will put you on hold for the time being when it comes to military service, but think that there will be some military service in the future"

"Got it. So what would our identities look like?

"The chief shall be a citizen, the executive a free people, and the rest a civilian. As you will remember, this is the identity of the point of acceptance and does not guarantee future immortality."

A citizen who holds a public office in a quasi aristocratic capacity becomes this citizen.

Generally, if you are a man of nobility and a civilian class, you become a citizen, as are village chiefs, famous lords, etc.

The good thing about citizens is that they are exempt from the headcount tax they pay to their lords.

The difference between free citizens and civilians is the difference between the amount of headcount and the rights they own.

The difference in headcount taxes is the difference in rights.

An example to be specific is if a free citizen and a civilian had a fight, a free citizen would not be held guilty if it was some injury, even if it was a civilian who sustained the injury.

Conversely, if civilians cause minor injuries to the free people, they can undoubtedly fall into slavery as criminals if they are detained in prison and ill served.

It is common sense in the world, therefore, that there are common slaves, criminal slaves (war slaves) under the civilian population and that slaves are not treated like people.

"Enough is enough"

Atrei Sun gives a gracious bow of grace.

"However, acceptance shall be after I return to my territory. Even with my orders in the realm, it's going to be emotionally difficult to accept the Demons on a 2,000 scale."

"Aye, I understand, then we too would like to help Lord Brute Ease to return to our territory as soon as possible. Do you mind if I don't dare cover you in the shadows?

"Um, then Atrei Sun, I'll treat you as a captain under the Intelligence Department. From now on, let's get under the command of Hector's chief of intelligence there."

I send my gaze to Clara, who was lenient on the couch, and I make a round throw.

"Kurt to Clara Kudo, I'm at the Brute Ease house tying up the Intelligence Department, thank you."

"It's Atrei Sun. Thank you very much."

Well, I handed Atrei Sun over to Clara, and after a short break, the military conference before he came out?

History is much older than mine, and I'm proud to say that I'm proficient in the military, so I'm hard of thinking and hostile, but I can't say I don't like it.

Well, Clara, it's a good idea to have a meeting with Atrey Sun, but don't do it in my office!

Though a private room would be appreciated by you as an office room!

"That's the way it is, adrift it later."

"Got it. Now, let's go back and tell everyone about this one. Then let's assume you're on a mission."

"Yeah, that doesn't matter. Make a comedy report."

"I understand."

That said, Atrey Sun dived into the shadows and disappeared.

Shadow crossing is the magic of moving from shadow to shadow, and its moveable distance depends on the person's ability, but it cannot travel that long.

Besides, the distance doesn't shrink, so if you run in the shadows and travel, you get to your destination fast, but walking takes a lot of time, and even a species that can fly in the sky for some reason can't fly in the shadows.

However, Atrey Sun is a vampire and his physical abilities are much higher than those of humans, so he can travel relatively quickly.

And many vampires can fly in the sky, so if you can get out of the shadows and fly in the sky in an unpopular place, you'll be able to shorten your time to reach your destination.

Hmm? I thought you were vulnerable to sunlight because you're a vampire?

Vampires also seem to have a class, and it may be said that lower vampires have weaknesses in sunlight and garlic, but when the class rises, weaknesses are alleviated, and even more so when they become a class said to be true ancestors like Atrey Sun.

I didn't expect to be buried in the earth even though I had enough power to reign as a demon king if I wanted.

If Atrei Sun meant it, even St. Orion's would not have been safe, and we could have expected quite a good fight if we had cut off the land and protected it.

Really a rare owner of thought.

Huh? Me? I'm... I can't deny it altogether when people say I'm similar, but I live secluded in a land where people never come in.

If that's what you can do.
