Meanwhile, in the north of Demon King's Land, there were three: Keith, Deanna, and Ginroe.

Deanna summoned a tent on a snowstorming hill that could be described as that villa.

"Don't get cold, let's get inside."

Into the tent, wear thick fur slippers.

He sat in a rocking chair placed to surround the fireplace and warmed his legs as he scorched the tip of his slipper.

There's nothing you can do about it.

Keith said when he saw a blurry, glowing settlement outside the window, beyond the snowstorm.

"But more than we have thus set up a tent, you will also be aware of our presence beyond. We also make you turn on the lights upstairs. If there's no reaction there, I know that's all we're talking about."

So Deanna drinks warm milk from a mug.

Ginroe's mirror-like body was gleaming in the reflection of the fireplace flames.

"I'm sorry, Demon King. If you have worked so hard in such a secluded area that there is no gain whatsoever..."

"Don't get sick, Ginroe, because I want you to know that there are anomalies in the realm. Even if it just turns out that the permanent frozen soil is melted, it can later be some sort of judgment material."

"Care, as soon as it hurts"

(I was enlightened when I cared...)

Keith looks at the window blurry again.

"Ginroe, is there a reason you care about ice sperm?

"It's an old story... it's about the days of the previous Demon King"

As he hit the fire, Ginroe began to speak.

"The previous Demon King had planned to seek sacrifice from all the races in the realm..."

………………

…………

……

Ginroe was tugging his legs in the snowy woods as he stabbed his rough through his body.

A species called Ice Elf oddly hides itself in a blizzard.

Ginroe, who brought up the story of the sacrifice, was struck by a few ice sperm.

The left shoulder and the right thigh are pierced by a thick rubbish.

For this reason, it was a situation where I could neither run nor give out a wheel that I was good at.

The ice sperms surround the forest without hiding any more signs.

Ginroe hid herself in the shade of a large tree for a moment and sat down.

Grab a hard shoulder and use your strength.

".................. Grr"

Even with Ginroe's grip, he doesn't get one crack in the hard way.

I froze further into my body and couldn't even pull it out.

- That's when.

………………

From the blind spot, an ice elf girl appeared.

- Rest in peace.

Ginroe generates a blade from a hard stabbed arm.

But the body doesn't move as much as it thinks.

Though the girl opponent, the prospect of beating the ice sperm was limitless.

"Did you find it? Huh!?

There is a man's voice from afar.

The girl screamed.

"I'm not on this side!

………………

Ginroe opened his eyes.

"Are you...!

"Shit!"

When the girl silenced Ginroe, she touched the hard way she pierced her body.

Hard collapsed like powdered snow and scattered in the wind.

"Do your legs move?

"... why did you help?

"It's for the benefit of the species."

The girl speaks out.

"... let me know your name"

Ginroe said, the girl replied.

"I'm not a name."

"I will definitely return this loan"

………………

…………

……

"All of the above is my disgrace. But I owe that to ice sperm."

"I can't believe they're pushing Ginroe that far."

"I was wondering if you might be cautious."

That's when the salon door was knocked.

"Get in."

It's Joseph, Deanna's butler.

"Is it dinner?

"It's about time too...... we need customers"

It's finally here.

The three got up and moved to the couch.

"What a guest to show up here would be like Frost Bear or Ice Sperm. Let him through here."

"I'm in awe"

After a while, one beautiful girl appeared.

A piece of pure white silk that I've never seen.

Clear white skin with striking aquamarine eyes.

But more eye-catching than that is long, icy hair.

Each of the rooms was like a glass fragment, sparkling.

The girl is fluttering her body about what happened.

Lost creases of color don't seem like they're meant to be.

Joseph tried to help, but the girl gently refused to do so.

"You are!

Ginroe stood up.

"Oh... it's been a long time..."

The girl replied weakly.

"Are you sick..."

Ginroe asked, the girl only laughed a little.

"Thank you for your concern. I'm just a little weak..."

"In the meantime, sit down"

Keith said looking at the girl.

[One-eyed glasses of certainty] will pass on her information.

Again, the species is ice sperm.

And under the status was [debilitating].

………………

The girl tried to throw herself out and sat down on the couch.

"Is it a disease or something that makes you weak?

"Rest assured, it's not like lying to people… we ice sperm lose strength when exposed to heat for a long time. Everyone in the village is like this."

The way the girl talks while resting her elbow is painful.

"Then wouldn't it be a bad idea to be in such a warm room?"

"Don't worry about that. If it's about a couple of days, it won't affect your body in any way. The problem is duration."

"That's still due to the increase in temperature in this area."

The girl nodded deeply.

"So you came here for help."

"Yes... see this building. This can be done, I'm sure, like him there..."

The girl said as she glanced at Ginroe.

"I thought you would be closer to a demon king, like him, and it depends on your visit"

"I'm the demon king."

Keith said, the girl turned her eyes round.

"Was there anything special about the Demon King being here momentarily?

For special use, I'm sure the girl thought of the sacrifice.

The fact that you stopped being in the habit of taking a sacrifice shouldn't have conveyed it to such a remote place.

Keith replied.

"Ginroe said he wanted to see how the permafrost was melting."

Hearing that, Ginroe slapped cancer and his own knee.

"It may be strange to ask the Demon King to step up and say this, but the compassion he has put on is bound to return. I won't regret what you did to me."

"You remembered that..."

Ginroe closes his eyes and nods.

"I won't forget to thank you..."

The girl nodded, turning back to Keith.

"We have long lived disconnected from the Demon King. But on its own, the Demon King is the only one I can count on now."

The girl pulled a lightly colored crease together.

"Many times I gave my opinion to the elders trying to get the messengers out. But they're stubborn, mean... and I can't think of any help from the Demon King. They don't know what the situation is right now. I believe that one day everything will come back to normal on its own. That can't be..."

That being said, the girl drank the ice-floating milk prepared by Joseph.

Keith put a finger on his forehead.

"So you know why, don't you?

"I know, not so much..."

The girl started a strange story.

They had frequented adventurers in and out of the dungeons dressed in white for about a few months outside the settlement.

When those adventurers disappeared, the permafrost melted out as soon as possible.

That's all I know now.

"Deanna, there was no sign of those people entering Demon King territory?

"I'm sorry, Demon King. Probably through steep mountainous areas to the west. We didn't spin any reconnaissance."

Deanna relaxed and always wrinkled at her cool brow root.

"I didn't know humans were going in and out of places like this..."

"I'm not going to blame you, it's such a wide demon kingdom. There will be as many ways out as there is."

Keith pounded Deanna on the head.

Deanna wanders a little happy.

But when I corrected my posture, I now looked straight into the girl's eyes.

"You, what's your name?

"My name is Renee"

Renee said looking back at Deanna's eyes.

"Then Renee. It is you Ice Elves who have ruled the Demon King until now. Even chase Ginroe back. Isn't that too good a bug story to ask you to help us now?

"It's..."

Renaissance has a mouthful.

"I wonder if it would be of any benefit to the Demon King to help you."

"Don't say that."

Keith said.

"If you have a troubled one and you have the power to save it, I will definitely reach out"

Hearing that, Renee relaxed and bit the crease.

I can't read it from the look on its face, whether it's a rebellion against stubborn elders or a crusade to obey the Demon King.

"That's what demon king rule is all about..."

Renee said one thing, that's what he said.

Behind Keith's brain, a figure of an earlier demon king emerges.

"... it's not like that."

Keith said in a slight haste.

"I mean Demon King... this is Keith Aldberg's way"

The next day.

Having a light breakfast, the three were led to the dungeon by Renee.

Renee looks as sick as ever.

Cold enough to hurt my fingertips is the same, but not enough to blow snow from the ice sperm settlement.

Walking in the snow for a while I could see a number of ice columns.

Paying for the snow on the falling pillar, Keith had inscriptions that he couldn't read.

It's a relic of a pretty old age.

Moving between the pillars for a while, we reached the open cave of the broken gate.

"I wonder if the Thief Demon King is as impressive as it sounds."

Stepping into the cave, Keith hands on the ground to activate his skills.

- [Scanning].

Countless traps flashed behind Keith's brain at the top.

Poisonous arrows, pitfalls, spear-stricken hanging ceilings - horrible numbers.

Behind the bend, I also found the victims of the trap frozen.

"Sounds like it's not just a horaana... it's not good to get into a trap, so you guys wait. I'll see how it goes on my own."

"Oh no, let the Demon King go alone, etc...!

Keith laughed at Deanna for saying so.

"I want to be a thief once in a while."

There is no doubt that the cause of warming is in this dungeon.

Keith flipped his cape and went into the back of it alone.
