When Alleyra's [gate] opened, the hot air seared Keith's nose tip.

[Gate] was opened in the square in front of the inside, and a large number of elves were coming evacuated.

"Oh! Demon King! The Demon King is here!

"Please help! There's still a kid in there!

The inside of the elf is burning...

"Okay. I can't guarantee it, but let's just do what we can."

"Demon King"

Fiore drowned his head.

"Rescue is extremely difficult. This is not just a fire......!

"Apparently so..."

Something flows from the inside, burning the woods.

- Lava.

Keith knows because he's been through the volcanic zone on his journey, but the Elves wouldn't have had a chance to see lava.

Lava, which hosts red light in the blacks, dripped down as it burned the forest and eventually solidified.

"That burning river is holding you back."

Inside the elves, far from the volcanic zone.

It is very unlikely, such as the natural occurrence of lava.

Keith was convinced it was due to something malicious.

"Demon King"

Ginroe.

In a silver giant body, the flames illuminate red.

"I am resistant to fire. I was wondering if this would help."

"Okay, I need you to command the elves and hit the rescue. I lead the way."

Keith flicked his cloak and breathed all the way into the burning forest.

The crossed exhalation of brilliant grains of ice instantly froze the burning forest.

"Demon King... what's that now...?

Fiore asks Keith with his eyes round.

"A souvenir for a friend."

It was a dungeon in the ice sperm, a skill [frozen breath] taken from a sleeping frost dragon at the bottom of it.

"Alleyra, go around the others and gather the healers."

"Copy that!

Alleyra casts a spell and disappears into the darkness of the gate.

"Follow those who can come to rescue me."

Keith went up the hill leading inside.

Ginroe and Fiore follow suit.

Inside was presenting the look of hell.

A voice calling for help can be heard from here and there.

There was a crack in the road, and the lava was rippling with red light.

Beyond the lava, immobile elves held children.

The houses on both sides burned up violently and are about to collapse.

"Because of that, we have to take a detour!

"Wait, it'll be over soon"

Keith blew a [freezing breath] toward the lava river.

The lava river solidified like black wavy graphite.

"Ginroe, I asked for the elves left in the house"

[]/(exp, adj-na) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk)

Ginroe steps on a river of frozen lava and moves on.

Behind it, the elves continued.

The elves with children finally cross the hardened river when they see it and head to the square.

"Thank you! Thanks!

Keith nodded and told Fiore.

"Show me the rescue route. I'll freeze the lava in the way."

"Yes! I understand!

Keith continues after Fiore as he extinguishes the house fire with a [freezing breath].

You can't freeze anywhere with [freezing breath].

Because if there were any elves left in the house, they could freeze to death.

(But this situation... did you use flame magic?

Keith doesn't know if he can call himself a former fellow traveler - but he reminds me of Melarda's preferred use of [Fire].

But it's hard to imagine being able to cause all this disaster to a human sorcerer.

Beyond humans, someone is involved.

"Speak up for those who have missed the run!!

Ginroe's loud voice can be heard so far.

Keith bowed down and laid his hands on the ground.

- [Signal perception].

Long time no see, it's a thief's skill.

Keith felt signs, precisely in the now collapsing house.

When I took my hand off the ground, I immediately ran to the house.

"Wait!!

Break through the burning door, and when you get inside, it's already a sea of fire.

The elves, supposedly sisters, put a cloth on their mouths and laid back.

Above the two, Keith's [freezing breath] froze the ceiling at that moment when the burning beam collapsed.

The surrounding columns are also frozen to prevent collapse as much as possible.

"Demon King... Dear...?

Keith leaves the house, taking on the sisters who have lost their hips and are unable to move.

As soon as he went outside, the house, mixed with ice and flames, collapsed making a noise.

"Fiore, ask for these two"

"I understand!... both of you, can you stand?

We just have to extinguish the fire from one end and consolidate the lava, more than the guide is gone.

Keith froze one river of fire after another, cruising through the elves.

When I thought it was time to turn around, Ginroe and I bowled together.

Ginroe has five elves on his shoulders.

"It is time to return to the square and announce that we will take the docking call"

"Oh, that sounds good. I'll put out the rest of the fire and then I'm on my way."

Keith again [scanned] to see if there were any elves who had missed the run.

Then he sprayed a [freezing breath] on the rising flame and the rocking lava river.

When Keith went back to the square, he seemed to be just finishing the docking call.

Aleira, who had taken the healer, was also returning and had been treated for burns in turn.

The head of the inside advanced to Keith.

"I say. There are no dead in this fire."

Hearing that, Keith was wholeheartedly horrified.

What would have happened without [freezing breath]?

Keith, in his heart, thanked the Frost Dragon.

"It is all thanks to the devotion of the Demon King. What a thank you..."

"Thank you. You are my people. I'm responsible for your lives and your deaths."

"What a waste of words"

The chief drowned his head deeply.

"But Demon King... the problem, or... the inexplicable..."

"When it comes to"

"One, there are many... I will guide you"

The girl was sitting on the roots of a large tree.

"Ugh... Ugh..."

The girl is desperately in pain as she leaks a whimper.

He was badly burned in the arm.

[Heel] 's turn won't come around yet.

But what caught my eye more than that.

- It was a girl's, lovely round ear.

"Is she... human...?

The questions are endless, but healing anyway.

Keith took the girl's arm and sprayed a small [freezing breath].

It would be painkillers until the healers arrived.

The girl stopped crying because the pain had healed.

But its face is blue.

At first glance, it looks like it was caused by a fire shock, but Keith knows it wasn't.

Because I have seen Marie suffer the same symptoms during her crusade to the previous Demon King.

- I'm out of MP.

In the midst of an unexplained fire, only one human being is out of MP.

Sufficient as a suspect material.

There's no way such an unusual girl could have caused such a catastrophe, but the elves have a disgust for humans in the first place.

"You are to direct the treatment."

"Understood."

Keith retreated the elf's head and secretly gave the girl an MP.

The girl's complexion gradually leans.

Keith borrowed a water bottle from the elf and gave him a drink of water.

Is it about the same age as Luca?

Big green eyes, a decent little nose.

She was a girl with a neat face.

The blue hair is stopped by a golden barretta in the back.

The girl had strangely regained her calm, even though the burn pain would not have completely disappeared.

"Mr. Keith!

It was Marie who came running over.

“Virgin” Marie is a [heel] specialist.

Alleyra must have brought him in at the [gate].

Keith secretly regretted that he should have been brought in from the beginning.

Somewhere else, I still have the feeling that I need to keep Marie away from danger.

Even though, Marie tends to be impotent.

But it is not for the ruler to waste the power of his fellow men.

"Ask for her treatment..."

The green light Marie flickered out of her wand instantly healed the girl's burns.

"It's all right now. You scared me."

As Keith spoke, the girl hugged Keith's arm without saying anything.

"Mr. Keith, you seem to have been completely missed"

"That would be an honor. But why are you here?

When I asked her that, the girl had twisted her neck for a while.

A while later, I looked up at Keith's face.

"... I don't know"

"I don't know. Can you help me?"

As Keith stood up, the girl stood up with her as she clung to her arm.

"Marie, what about everyone's treatment?"

"Yes, all are fully healed. All you have to do is get some rest."

"I have to think about their place of residence. Call Dwarf to make a temporary home."

Keith took Alleyra's [gate] to the Dwarves to explain the situation to the Chiefs.

"I honestly don't like the elves, but let's be each other when this is the case"

Dwarf gathered his tools and his legs and went inside the elf again at the [gate].

Aleira sent the healers back inside each of them.

"Now, what have you done with this child..."

Keith clung to his arm and couldn't leave, looking down at the blue-haired girl.

"I don't see any parents, and I guess I'll have to take them back to the castle?

"Right. You can't even leave it with an elf. You want to come with me?

The girl looked up and snorted.

"Well, then we have to get ready to welcome the lady."

That's how Keith and the others were finally able to return to Demon King's Castle.

Back at Demon King Castle, it's night.

Deanna, of course, has been waiting the most for Keith's return.

But when you look at Keith, the joy turns into confusion.

"Welcome home...... what the hell is that little girl?

"I'm not sure I know that either."

The girl is sliding a rub and cheeks on Keith's arm.

Deanna's neat brow moved piquely.

"In awe. I was wondering if it was too late to make you behave like that in human minutes."

"Now we have Luca."

"That's... you're right... forgive the foolishness of misunderstanding..."

Deanna stares at the girl from a gap in her platinum blonde hair as she bows her head deeply.

Keith has no choice but to laugh bitterly.

"Deanna, would you ask Joseph to get ready for a standing party?"

"Everything is in order"

And the chiefs of the men were hungry, waiting for the return of Keith.

"Well, let's eat, aren't you hungry too?"

The girl snorted upwards.

Stick around and head through the entrance to the dining room.

"... Speaking of which, you didn't hear the name"

Keith smiled at the girl.

"I'm Keith. And you?"

"I..."

The girl looked up at Keith's face and opened her little crease.

"I... yusha"
