"Ciel, I need a favor from you. Will you listen to me?"

Not long after all the demon kings returned.

The Demon King has said that to me, the Lady of the Demon King.

The place is on a castle fortress with a view of the castle town, but I wondered if my ears had gone crazy for a moment to the words of the Demon King, which I had no idea.

"Huh? Demon King, now what?"

"Ask you. In other words, I said I had a favor to ask."

The demon king asked me, please?

Currently, the Demon King, who has used much of his magic, lives with the least amount of power he had over the Demon King's land to recover from it.

Because of this, the Demon King's range of action extended from the castle hall to the outside, so that he could walk outside more than before.

But such a favor from the Demon King.

Besides, substantive orders disguised as "please” and tea glare.

I was determined to write a suicide note to my mother, who secretly quarreled in her hometown, wondering what unreasonable orders were coming.

"I don't know why you look so dying, but it's not that hard."

"Huh?"

"Will you head to this place now?"

The Demon King, who took a single map out of the magic formation that floated in space, showed it to me.

There is a detailed map of the demonic kingdom and something like a red mark on it.

"Um, what is this place?"

"This is where our army used to root castles. I just want you to check here a little bit."

From what I've seen, it's a long way inside.

But, Demon King, it's just a favor. There's no way I can say no.

I know you serve nearest as a samurai, but I'm not aware that the Demon King is ordering you.

Simply because you trust me is a bad favor.

"Why me? I'm a samurai..."

"Hmm. Sometimes I trust you. I wanted to ask you about that place from your point of view.... Don't worry, I'll put on an escort"

"Ha..."

My chest rattled for a moment when I heard that I trusted you, but I get anxious about some inclusive way of saying it.

"Are you calling, Demon King?"

Then another person besides us appears in the fortress.

Turning around, it was the Silver-haired Demon Clan, Mr. Koga Dingal, Second Legion Leader, who was there.

I heard he lost his left arm in this fight, but he was putting up his left arm, which shouldn't look casual.

"It's Koga. Is your left arm important?"

"It's not a problem at all. Instead, I even feel more familiar with my magic than before."

The black-stained left arm of the Commander of the Korga Army deforms and turns like a creature into a sharp blade.

I realize his arms weren't real, they were made of dark magic, and I accidentally think, "Ugh," but without having to worry about me like that, he laughs joyfully.

"So, why are you bringing me here?"

I wanted to ask you to escort my maid.

"Escort? Are you going somewhere?"

"Well, it seems to be here."

The Commander of the Corps of Koga peeks into the map in my hands.

Hmm, the demon king utters his words to Koga, who nodded intriguingly.

"Now that you're rebuilding your army, aren't you too busy? It would be more convenient to move it than to rot you here. Besides."

Once the word is cut, the Demon King looks at the Commander of the Corps of Koga and narrowly distorts the edge of his mouth.

"Where you're headed as an escort could be interesting to you?"

"... The Demon King really is clever at putting people on. Escorts, roger that."

II, and the leader of the Korga Corps, who is escorted with a noisy smile.

The Demon King seems satisfied, but honestly, as far as I'm concerned, I'm afraid of the Corps Commander Koga.

Because he's famous for not doing his job, and most importantly, on the battlefield, he hears rumors that he was beating each other up laughing at a shitty healing wizard named ”Cumaidan” Usat.

"I'll leave it to you, then. I don't mind increasing the number of escorts. At your discretion."

I'll take care of it.

That's all I said, the Demon King leaves me and the Commander of the Corps of Koga on the spot to return to the castle.

I am frightened and look at the castle town and see the leader of the Corps of Korga laughing.

"Oh, you know, Corps Commander Koga..."

"Yeah? Yeah, you're not even one of my men, and you're an important servant of the Demon King. I don't care about Koga."

"So, then, Mr. Korga. What are you going to do now? Are you leaving soon?"

To my question, Commander Koga Army ——— No, Mr. Koga arms as he thinks.

"Well, you can leave right away, but you want to invite the one who seems to be able to take you first? I'll be the only one with enough escorts, but I don't know what's gonna happen."

……

I'm vegan and surprised you're thinking surprisingly well.

Though younger than me at my age, he seems firmer than I was hearing about it.

"It's obvious that the Demon King is assuming some sort of situation at the point where he hits me as an escort first. Then we should bring quite a few guys to the escort."

"Well, who?"

"Armilla... he started training with Nero's old man when he left. Assuming he can't... he seems relatively free and can fight there... Gired's old man can't. When that man is gone, the Demon King's Army will disintegrate."

I thought about it for a few seconds, and I got a hazy face, Mr. Korga.

The look belonged to an age-appropriate child and only slightly changed my impression of him.

"All right, let's go."

"Oh, wait a minute"

Mr. Koga moves to action what comes to mind immediately.

I followed Mr. Korga, wondering who the hell he was going to ask for an escort.

The place Mr. Koga headed was a soldier's quarters outside the castle.

Currently, the treatment of wounded soldiers and the rebuilding of their respective units are taking place, and even here, where soldiers live, there are fewer people's streets.

"The rebuilding of the army is being done at the initiative of Gillette's old man... how long the hell will it take? At least, though the Demon King seems to be thinking about forming for interception, not marching. Have you heard anything about being a samurai around here?"

"No, in my position, you don't hear that much"

Watch Mr. Korga as he walks between quarters built by unit.

In fact, I am concerned about the "healing wizard” that has been rumored within the Demon King's Army for a long time.

Lie or truth, you can't be sure of its authenticity because of your position as a samurai who doesn't go to battle, but if he's actually relative and fought, he might be able to let you talk.

I thought so, and I shook up a little courage and decided to ask Mr. Korga about the healing wizard of the kingdom of Ringle.

"Um, Mr. Korga"

"What? Er..."

"Oh, it's Ciel. What about the healing wizard rumored to be in the realm of the Demon King... is that a true story?"

"Oh, it's true."

Oh, I'm totally admitted.

Cramping my cheeks, Mr. Koga talks about the healing wizard on his own with pleasure and narrowing his eyes.

"I don't know about him. It's really not him. You're a healing wizard, but you've been fighting fleshshells. The first time I fought, I didn't know why. The principle was healing, magic, knocking shockwaves in."

"Shockwave with healing magic?"

"Later, it turns out, it's a nice unexpected shock to have intentionally burst through a system strengthening."

"Outbreak system strengthening?"

"Well, that was pretty much before I used it. Whatever you do, hit me at close range with dark magic. Hey, I really enjoyed that time."

Wait, I can't chase understanding.

Humans? You're talking about humans, aren't you?

"So, the next time I fought, he assimilated me to my ex-boyfriend."

"Dowka?"

"If you change your mind, it's a merger. He's taken in the power of dark magic, and he's spraying magic from all over his body. That kick, honestly, was close to being conscious of a blow."

"Taking in dark magic?"

Where are the healing magic elements?

No. I can't think of that healing wizard image as a human being just listening.

Nanica, in the shape of a musculoskeletal human being three meters tall, has been fixed in the image.

"He made a lot of noise after he fought me, but, well, I guess it's mostly true,"

"Tentacles, demon wings, ridden on the back of a blue grizzly turned into a tank and ravaged demons...?"

"I guess it's true that I haven't seen it. Isn't that less of a fact? In his case."

Awesome trust.

I don't know, there's more to Mr. Korga's mouth than a completely hostile opponent.

"Man... some guys got all kinds of trauma carved up by Usat. Do it. They knocked you off the dragon, or they grabbed the arrow they released at close range, and they stranded you on top of it. This time alone, you were pretty rounded up."

"You speak happily even though you are an enemy"

The opponents, like the brave ones, are enemies of the devil tribe.

It has become a bit of a thorny way of saying it to Mr. Korga, who is even happy to talk about it.

"He's a good enemy of mine. The stronger he gets, the stronger I fight. I know it's annoying from him, but we don't care because we're enemies."

……

"Hey, stop bluntly distancing yourself from me"

I pulled it normally.

I have a little sympathy for the healing wizard named Usat, who is the enemy.

"Let's get back to it, but we're talking about trauma... and there's a particularly bad guy in there. He's our third regiment leader."

"Oh, is Hannah here?!?"

Hannah Lowmia.

A woman who has become the new Third Army Commander and a user of phantom magic.

He is a man who is good at witchcraft and witchcraft, and at the same time he thought it would be good to see you in front of the Demon King, but he also had the impression that he was just a little scared.

"No, I tried to illusion Usato in good shape and I did. Somehow, he didn't seem to work. Instead, he got caught by surprise."

……

"Ha ha, that's a masterpiece. Oh, my God, resistance to illusions."

Aren't you the devil already?

How do you acquire such resistance, such as resistance to illusions?

Is that it? Should we continue to show powerful illusions? Though that would definitely break your spirit.

"So, I can't take that Hannah as an escort."

"... Could it be that we're on our way now..."

"It's where Hannah is. Look, I just saw you."

When I look at the one Koga pointed at, I see a building a turn bigger than the rest of the soldiers' quarters.

The appearance of what is somewhat old does not in itself differ from that of a dormitory.

First, in front of the door, Mr. Korga said, "Hanner! Koga! Open it -!" he said, raising his voice, calling Master Hannah, but no response.

Besides, Mr. Korga tilts his neck.

"Hmm? Hey. Are you behind this?"

"Oh, I'd rather not take it personally..."

Just unrelated. He moves on to the back of the building.

As I follow him, I discover a flowerbed beautifully arranged on the back of the building, wondering if this action and speed of decision is why the Second Legion Leader wants it.

And find a woman crouching to turn her back on this one of those flower beds.

"If you are a nourishing soil outside of F, F, or Demon King's territory, you will grow up fine. F, F, F, F"

Evil. There was Hannah, the third regiment leader who was taking care of the flower beds with one hand, zeroing the ominous grin of waxing.

It was too different from the image of the Third Army Commander I had, and even Mr. Korga lost his word, not just me.

"Huff, huh?... Huh?"

And when she finally realizes our presence, she blues her face at once when she alternates with this one.

Did Mr. Koga, who saw it, intend to care, pointed a full smile at Hannah as he thumbed up.

"Unexpectedly, well, it's a lovely hobby! Yeah!!"

"Koga...!"

"Hey, bugger off! I think I'm good!!"

……

Why exactly did this man stir up an oversized incitement?

Dear Hannah, who, silently, produced countless purple magic bullets.

Mr. Korga hastens to incite, a word of excuse.

Before the magic bullets that would kill me, my heart was about to crumble at this point.
