Demon Lord Wants to Laze

Mao Dara the 2nd

Lesson 48: What Is True Crystal?

A week passed after reporting the example dagger to Grania and Plenicia.

By that time we were invited to the palace by the Queen of Plenicia.

It's just a tea party... it doesn't look like anything.

It's the same meeting in the garden as last time.

Like last time, the Queen welcomed me with a soft grin.

I wonder if it's my fault it looked dark somehow.

"Mr. Silvia, Theresia. Thank you for your hard work far away."

"Thank you even though the Queen is busy. So, it's quick..."

"About the owner of the dagger, right?

"Yeah. Got something?

The queen nodded cocklessly.

Moisten your mouth with black tea, then slowly spin the words.

"Immediately after the news arrived, we convened what was the Lord. And in response to my question, I made an offer."

"So that person is the killer?

"No, he said: 'It is stolen goods'. Looks like a pickup showed up at his mansion a while ago, and it was stolen at that time."

"But that doesn't matter, does it?

"Yeah. But that's the same for us. To conclude, that dagger alone can't be bulletproof or anything. Doubt remains, but it's not enough physical evidence to corroborate the crime."

"Oh no. It's a clue I finally found..."

A connection to immense evil.

I felt that I heard a pussy cut.

The mastermind is not a large part of the organization because it brings in a huge amount of crystals in one base.

Even though it would be dangerous to let them be more bulky than this.

"Don't be discouraged. Because you have more valuable information."

"Uh, is something wrong?

"You're a dark purple crystal. Unlike both the Magic Crystal and the Great Crystal, it has the power to break."

"Ah..."

At that time, the men had unfamiliar demonic crystals in their hands.

From what I saw, he was not a magician but emitted powerful magic, and even activated a demon barrier.

No matter how much crystal you're boosting your magic, you held Teresia and Fran in and even prevented me from attacking.

It was an unusual development, if you ask me.

"Even if it increases in water with demonic crystals, there is no hassle that a few or so of the people will rival demons. Because if you were, you would need fifty soldiers fully armed against one demon."

"I mean, that's all the power in a mysterious demon crystal?

"That's what you should see. Otherwise, Tsujitsu doesn't fit."

"Does the Queen know anything about that crystal?

"... I don't know. But."

"But?

"If you seem to know, I do. It's your father."

Father?

And if they say so, they don't come pins.

That's messy, but you're someone with little knowledge of magic.

"Explain the circumstances and you'll be able to help. Use that magic prop."

"Okay, I'll ask you. Can we do this right now?

"Yes, of course. Because I care, too."

I tried contacting your father as soon as possible.

"It's a dark purple demon crystal with great power, but don't you know what it is? '… and.

Waiting for a reply for a while, it happened.

A wild, crazy breeze.

The sand dust danced, the grasshoppers were knocked down, and the table floated fuzzily.

I managed to control the area with half-eyed vision and endured until the wind stopped.

Then, in front of me......

"Father?! When did you get here?

"Silvia, it's been a long time. They literally flew in!

A sunny smile, and a bouncing voice.

That's the man the world calls the Demon King.

How many human beings do you know who don't look like that title?

I don't mind my confusion like that, your father said with my shoulder in his arms.

"Well, let's go."

"Where are you going?!

"You want to know about crystals, don't you? Let's go and ask what we know."

"Ugh, yeah. Then do your duty..."

"Uh okay. It'll all be over soon."

Your father flew when I finished saying it.

Of course I was hugged, too.

I thought so, and suddenly a strong wind blew across the street.

No, you're not.

This is moving super fast through the sky.

The surrounding landscape quickly flows back.

The wind that strikes your body is cold and painful inside.

I yelled at my father, who was probably in a good mood.

"Father! Slow down!

"What the hell, Sylvia? I can't hear you.

"Speed up! Drop it!"

"I don't know, are you in a hurry? Then let's fly!

"Ahhhh"

After a while.

A gust of wind struck his body and descended to the ground.

That's the lodging town of Yapone.

It's a city to use when staying on a family vacation.

I got here amazingly early from Plenicia, but my body is totally cold.

"Father, can I have a little warm?

"Right. Then let's go into the tea shop there. All right, moon?

Your father just looked back at his neck and said so.

Suddenly there appeared a beautiful woman dressed exotically.

"Oh, did the concubine notice? That's the Demon King."

"The Yapone people show unique signs. You're easy to understand, too."

I walked into the store while we had that conversation.

I order hot macha.

It's delicious because it has gokuro in it, Moon Ming said, but I wish I'd been warm anyway.

"Well, moon. I need to ask you something."

"With all parents and children, what would it be... Did you tell your concubine to be the mother of this daughter?! I mean, be the Queen of the Demon King!

"Hey, you're doing everything you can to make a mistake. I'm not asking you to do that, not this time, not beyond."

"... a lot of clarity. It's the colored guy that makes you feel a little bit concerned, isn't it?

I can see that Mr. Moon was visibly depressed.

Yeah, so is this guy.

Maybe it's just a matter of time before you name yourself your father's wife candidate?

"What I want to hear is about the Demon Crystal. It's a flying, powerful guy."

"Hmm. What kind of nari is that?

"The size is no different than a normal demonic crystal, but the color was unusual. It's dark purple..."

"What the heck!?

- Gattan!

Mr. Moon suddenly stood up.

The store is very tight.

Apparently he was hazy, and Mr. Moon took his seat again.

"My daughter, is that for sure?

"Yeah. Aren't regular demon crystals water colored? I was surprised the first time I saw it, so I remember it very well."

"What a fool... the same mistake you once made..."

Squeezy whine.

The words were heavy, as if crawling through a table.

"Hey, don't go into the world of one. You told me to talk to you so we could understand."

"I don't mind, but it's a long time, huh?

"Please, tell me from me too!

After the cough, the anecdote was slowly told.

Once a continent, the beast man was the ruler's side.

It seems to be because they are more numerous and more capable than humans.

In time, the people were interested in the country and developed magic tools and unique skills.

One day I antagonized with the forces of the Beastman, overwhelmed, and my position covered.

When human beings have the majority of the continent in their hands, they begin to cut the rudder to the exclusion and oppression of beasts.

The pretext for obtaining magic over people's tribes, you think it was?

"There is no ceiling for desire. When we caught up with the Beasts, the next enemy of the people became the same Ningen."

"Well, you will. You made war between humans anyway, didn't you?

"Exactly. A number of nations were born, disappeared, flourished and perished on the continent. In those times, you will not stop looking for power."

"For my country to win?

"That's the place. Developed to beat the Beast Man is the Great Crystal on the Demon Crystal. And I was born under a war between people..."

Mr. Moon cut the words there and rinsed the tea served at some point.

I also have a matcha before me.

Just a little bit in my mouth and waited for the next word.

"That's where it was developed."

"Sinswishaw......"

"Terribly powerful. It seems to take a terrible amount of effort to create, but its power is not the ratio of demonic crystals. With one of them, only Ningen can outperform the Demon."

"If that's all you got, why are you treating it as' something you didn't have 'now? You've never even heard of the real thing, have you?

"Right, I'm the first to hear that too. At best, I saw a big crystal once."

"You're too strong. If we bump something like that into each other, the results are more obvious than seeing fire. In those days, forests, mountains, rivers, fields and houses, many of them were sacrificed."

I got cold spines.

Three true crystals were encountered in that basement.

That alone was strong enough to feel despair.

If such a thing was used in war and attacked.

There would surely have been a tragedy that would have made me want to cover my eyes.

"What's even more problematic is the difficulty of handling it. True crystals that are out of control run wild. In some cases, it will cause a huge explosion, making the area a burning field. I hear a lot of unrelated people died as a result"

"It was. Anyway, you're a dangerous substitute."

"Without withstanding the excessive tyranny of the people, the Gods of Yapone, the Dragon Kings, tried to impose sanctions. but people responded quickly. I forbade myself to use true crystals."

"Forbidden, what exactly is it?

"I think I threw it away, including manufacturing methods, of course. In fact, the presence of true crystals has not been confirmed for a long time."

"So you were supposed to be a phantom. He said it was now out on the surface stage.

"Well, not in that place"

"Fuck you. I don't know what you're up to, but you don't do shit."

Everyone brought their drinks to their mouths so they could escape the heavy air.

I also swallowed up the muddy Matcha, honking my throat.

"Well, what if that true crystal is now produced in bulk? Will its owner be the champion of the continent?

"No, as I said earlier, it's a difficult substitute for control. Let's wreak havoc all over the place."

"No, you can't let that happen!

For someone's evil aspirations, a lot of people could be sacrificed.

Good people who have nothing to do with war, I'm sure.

There is no way we can condone such irrational violence.

"If I knew that, I wouldn't take it slow! Father, let's go!

"Ooh. Moon, thank you."

"Whenever this is a good thing. I don't care if you show your face once a week or so..."

"Then Sylvia, let's go!

"Yeah!"

"I can't get along..."

If the trip is empty, the return is also empty.

When I returned to the Royal Palace in Plenicia, I knew my body would get cold.

So I asked the queen to get three cups of warm tea to keep me up.

... I don't know.
