Bring the Demon King aboard the ship to escort & monitor Miarak.
It's a mission that seems empty to my stomach just to hear it anymore, but I know that's all we can do, so I'm not complaining--
"So why am I here?"
"Talk to him."
"There is so much tyranny...?"
I was called to guide you to the ship, but I didn't expect you to tell me to talk to you.
Nair and Ferm said they were going to rest in the appreciated room, but I was wondering if I should have brought them in.
"Go ahead."
"Thank you"
I thank Mr Siel for offering me tea.
Speaking of which, why didn't you introduce yourself to this guy?
Turning to her holding the basin, I bow my head gently.
"Again, my name is Usat Ken"
"Oh, this is polite. I'm Ciel, the devil king's maid of honor. We couldn't tell each other a while ago, but thank you for protecting us in the ruins before."
"Welcome and thank you for protecting Keira"
"No."
"No."
"It's going to last forever."
As we interact with each other reluctantly, the Demon King is putting his mouth on tea in a pioneering manner.
Keira, I wonder if you're doing well.
When I calm down a little bit, I think I'll get a letter out via Koga.
……
For the time being, awkward silence persists.
I look at the Demon King with tea in my mouth. [M]
It's not as urgent as it used to be, but it's still hard to get the distance.
Don't be timid here, let's ask a question.
"Is the Demon King's Realm okay now?"
"... you won't have to worry"
Quiet, Demon King answers.
"The same goes for having people I trust, but more importantly, Nero"
"Don't worry about that guy..."
Nero Argens, a swordsman with tremendous power.
With him, no matter who comes, you won't be able to get your hands on the Demons.
And there's Hannah.
"Oh, is that Mr. Hannah? How is she?"
"Oh, you're doing your business without hesitation, compared to before?"
I don't know what to say, but I'm relieved.
Hannah thought she was leaving the Demon King's Land like that, but at the end of the day she decided to stay in the Demon King's Land.
I don't know if that decision is a disintegrating one or if I chose it myself, but I'm relieved that she's alive that we got involved in.
"How are you?"
What do you mean?
He said, "This meeting is coming, but what do you think?"
"I was surprised... well, especially"
There will be a lot of things to think about for others, but there is nothing particularly to think about the coming of the sub-people.
It would involve something if something were to come across a scene that is blatantly subhuman.
"Ah, Mr. Hayate... you want to say hello to the representatives of the kingdom of the beast man"
"... Speaking of which, you were between the head of Hinomoto and yourself."
"Yeah, well, it's just personal, just an exchange of letters"
"... personal? Hmmm......"
A demon king who thinks a little surprised.
Did I say something strange?
"Demon King?"
"You're convenient inside."
"Yes?"
"The Beasts are a closed race against other races. I was hoping there would be some connection, but I didn't expect to even have personal intimacy."
"It's unusual, but is it that strange?"
When I say so, the Demon King shifts his gaze from me to Mr. Siel in a frightened manner.
"Ciel. What do you think when you see this guy who also has personal intimacy with the head of the Beast clan and can look fine in front of me and other demons?"
"Normally I think it's strange"
Mr. Ciel, why are you smiling so much...?
You mean weird in the sense that you're not prejudiced against subhumans?
"Either way, I have to tie a pipe with the Beasts, but if you're here, it's quick. You don't have a race problem. That's exactly what you are."
"Were you also going to interact with the Beasts?"
"Oh, there's something about the demonic realm, and I couldn't have divided my power there, but now that the Demon King's Army has been dismantled, I can assign personnel to your development"
"I see...... But you can't do it at my discretion?"
"I know. But in any case, dealing with the Beasts is a necessity for us and everywhere."
Necessary...?
The Demon King explains it properly to me and Mr. Siel, who leans his neck.
"Hinomoto has been able to spin civilization the same way before, but that's only what we've been able to do because we've stalled everything"
"Stagnation, is it?"
"We didn't take in what we didn't need, and we kept reflecting the knowledge we had given Hisago as it was. Well, that will keep us alive, but from now on, our perception of the subhuman will change in every way."
... you mean the change of times?
"It means that the Beasts can't stay at their current standstill either. That's why we have to change just like our demons"
"Is that why you're dealing?"
"The earth is not fruitful, but fortunately there are a lot of mine resources. Plus you can make my knowledge worth it"
The Demon King is looking ahead, too.
If that's the case, I'd like to help, but first I need your permission.
... Speaking of which, there was something I wanted to ask you.
"May I ask you a question?"
I don't mind.
"Does magic exist to resurrect the dead?"
"No, there isn't."
Round your eyes to the demon king who answers instantly.
If there is no one to the right in manipulating witchcraft, I would have thought maybe, but he can't?
"Not even after death, though it will be possible to resuscitate only a few minutes after death, until more than a dozen minutes. After that, even magic will be impossible."
"... Really?"
"You mean the wreckage taken by the devil?"
"... Yes"
The remains of those who were Rose's men stolen from the cemetery of the kingdom of Ringle.
If the devil is trying to exploit the wreckage, he has to predict it.
"Right. Soul calling magic exists."
"Can you use that too?"
"I could have used it before it was sealed, but now it's impossible. … you can use magic that moves the wreckage like a demon necromancer, but perhaps it is not magic that the demon would use"
"Is that because you don't need to take away the flesh of someone who was strong in life?"
"Exactly"
Nair also taught me that even if I manipulate a corpse with powers like a necromancer, I'm just magically moving the corpse, so I can't have a particularly strong zombie.
"... I advise you, even if that corpse appears before you as it was, it's not necessarily the same person as it was before you"
"Why?"
"The soul called back by the foreign law is somewhere distorted. Unless you are as strong in spirit as you are, you make an anomaly in your spirit and in many cases turn it into a meat doll that just listens to orders"
……
Somewhere in my heart, I was wondering if I could talk.
Even if they were forced to come back to life, they wanted to hear about the amazing people who were Rose's men, and they thought so, but that doesn't come true.
"Usat, the devil is a demon empowered by fear, evil emotion"
"Yes."
"If you're going to be relative to them, you're going to be tested for strength of mind first. If it shakes and breaks, they'll poke at it."
Nod to the advice of the Demon King.
So it's important to have a strong heart and relate to the devil.
"... well, I'm not that worried about you. Rather, it's the side that terrorizes the devil."
"It's ruined."
As far as I'm concerned, you're much scarier than the devil.
Although there is an absolutely immovable Great Demon King named Maggie Lerose on top of it.
But you've raised the possibility that you might fight the Aurs.
While you're going to be distracted by that fact, you have to keep your mind in place so that if they show up, you can respond immediately.
"Speaking of which... I wanted to ask you something."
"... you... no, well, I don't mind..."
"Demon King, it's good to be able to talk to you at will"
"Shut up......"
?
Tilt his neck to the demon king who holds his forehead against Mr. Siel, who smiles face.
I'll get back on my mind and ask what I thought I'd ask you just now.
"Demon King. Can you still use gravity magic?"
"… I'll check it out, but why ask?"
"No, I'm free on the ship or something, so I thought I'd put that on during the escort and train the load."
When I say that in the light, I get the look that I pulled on Mr. Ciel, who was nicotine earlier.
I know you're saying strange things while I'm at it, but it's true that I wanted to give it a try.
- Then I was allowed to leave as I was, nodded vaguely.
Mr. Ciel dropped me off and I left the room. When I heard the door closing behind me, I put my arms around me worried.
"Just suddenly gravity load training is too much...?"
"Maybe you're an idiot...?"
"Ah, Mr. Armilla"
Mr. Armilla, who was guarding me next to the door, tells me that with his face.
With a sword on her hips, she looks back at her standing with her spine extended.
"Speaking of which, what about Koga?"
"He's taking a break. … well, you're likely to skip the lookout"
"... Um, are you okay?"
"Huh, I didn't know you'd be worried about your former enemy..."
I get my cheeks cramped by Armilla with a self-derisive grin. [M]
I wonder what it is.
This endless hard-working temperament.
"Would you like me to bring you in?"
"... no, you don't have to go that far. There's going to be a fight on the ship when you get there."
What do you mean?
That's just not the kind of thing that suddenly strikes me on a boat...... well, it shouldn't be.
Well, if that happens, I have an idea.
"Don't worry. I'll be responsible for throwing him out of the boat."
"Has Koga changed her personality only when she was involved?"
Armilla looking slightly pulled.
Should it have been glue-wrapped and rolled onto the deck, not off-ship...?
"... talking to you makes me sick"
Sigh, Mr. Armilla.
I smile bitterly at her with a powerless grin somewhere.
"Armilla is Nero Argens... Nero's apprentice... what is it?"
"Oh, you're Rose's apprentice, aren't you?"
That's what they asked me to confirm, and I snort.
"If we were to talk, I thought we were in the middle of a fight. I had no idea it was going to be this way."
"Even if we talk, it's going to be all hard talk."
"Huh, sure...... If you think about it, you and I might be alike."
It is true that we feel something like sympathy because we are in the same position of mentoring a strong master.
"But I never thought he'd be slaughtered all of a sudden right after the battle with the Demon King."
"Forget that..."
"I've been in trouble ever since."
"You actually have it pretty much in your roots...?"
I was so surprised then.
Because there was no one else who tried to hurt himself, crying if he thought he was suddenly attacking me.
But if you look at what I'm normally talking about right now, I guess I was just a little emotionally unstable then.
