Princess Meets Swordsman (4) Third Party Perspective

"I met Kazuto 10 years ago - and yes... that was when the famine broke out in the Duchy of Alto"

"Ten years ago?

"Well, it was when Kazuto was just a little girl."

Yes, Rumelia spun her words away to stare at the distance when she whined.

"Do you know what an end forest is?

"I've heard the name. - But not to the place..."

"Yes...... The forest of the end exists in the middle of the Altras continent. The place is a vast forest between the kingdoms of Lucial and Lawrence - it's called the End Forest."

Lumelia drops her gaze into a vessel containing soup.

"Mr. Alice. Do you know what the place is about the End Forest?

"It's only a dangerous area..."

"Right. On the Altrus continent, there are two main forests, the End Forest and the Abyss Forest. - And both are considered more dangerous than erosion-type labyrinths."

"An erosive dungeon - you mean a growing dungeon!?

Alice shouts her surprise.

It was impossible for her to be surprised.

The erosive dungeon is a growing dungeon, and the hierarchy is built as much as it can to produce powerful demons.

And at the end of the day, when demons overflow out of the dungeon, they attack surrounding villages and cities.

Suddenly, villages and cities attacked by powerful demons are instantly swallowed by a herd of demons and transformed into death villages -, towns of death.

There is no human being who is not surprised to be told that it is more dangerous than those dungeons.

"- So, but..., the story of demons coming out of the woods..."

"That's right. Because the Abyss Forest was managed by us, the Demons, to reduce demons. And the forest of the end was managed by Kazuto's grandfather, Haruna Kagi, whom you and I are avenging."

"Management..."

Alice had no understanding that more dangerous dungeons could be managed without attack than eroded ones.

Even the usual dungeons in general say that teams of S-rank adventurers will spend years attacking them - and when demons overflow, it will be Seto's time to see if the state will perish and the state organization will come together to deal with them..., but there was no way I could understand that humans could manage more dangerous abyss forests and end forests than that.

"Are you not convinced?

"Yes... because - I can't believe that even S-rank adventurers who can crusade Wyburn by themselves manage more dangerous places than dungeons that can't be attacked without partying..."

"Right."

Lumelia shrugs her shoulders, nodding as if to affirm Alice's words.

"- But, in fact, there are people who can do that? We, the Demons, the Black Dragons, the White Dragons, and..., there's something like Haruna Guigi."
