Master Elvis!

Elvis slowly stood up and a girl with apricot hair jumped up.

Elvis looked surprised, but immediately stroked the girl's hair with a gentle smile.

"I'm sorry, Helmina. Show me something shameful - you can be disillusioned."

"No, no... you were much nicer than I thought..."

That's Hermione von Rowe, the First Princess of the Row Kingdom.

I've seen it in pictures and in Rachel's memory, but this was the first time I actually met her.

... looks good on you.

If it had not been for the incident seven years ago, these two would have been married by now.

"Jack"

Looking up at the sky halfway through the night, Rachel's voice came out.

I looked down from the sky and saw Rachel's face, and I smiled bitterly.

"I'm sorry, I'm an unskilled man."

"Fine.... if I'm jealous like this, I probably won't be able to keep myself."

"What do you mean?"

He leaned his head, but Raquel turned away and settled down.

"... Jack...! Mr. Elvis...!"

From behind Rachel came Azerea, Ruby, and Gawain.

Azela stops in front of me and Elvis, her eyes filled with tears.

"I...! Ugh, you two...!" UAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Even though she looked like a fine woman, Azerea's sobbing was completely childish.

Behind it, Ruby shrugs her shoulders and Gawain wipes her eyes.

Oh... damn it, you guys.

Even I feel like my thread is broken and my tears are about to overflow.

There was a world like this.

We've finally made it.

And again and again, thanks to Rachel's work,

- We're finally back to our old friends.

There were some things that I couldn't go back to.

Some of them don't need to be removed from the palm of your hand.

...... I can finally remember......

"... let's make a tomb, Jack."

Elvis looks around - at the wreckage of the Spiritual Academy.

"You didn't make it anyway, did you?"... we need to put him to sleep. "

"..... ahh"

It's hard to break up.

I can't stay like this forever.

We need to think about where we're going to build it ─

At that time, countless threads stretched out from heaven, and intertwined Hermione.

"...... eh?"

I couldn't react.

Not because it was sudden.

I couldn't react, I couldn't react.

Everyone.

Probably the best spiritualist in the world.

I was unable to detect it in advance.

Hermina, tangled, was unaware of the existence of the thread until it was hoisted vigorously.

What--that's it.

It's like it's suddenly stretching out from the outside of the world.

"...! That way!"

Ruby picks up her cat's ears and looks back.

There was a monster before the hoisted Helmina was retrieved.

Big spider.

It was a giant spider the size of an elephant.

And to serve it, about ten soldiers with strange gear stood.

It's not metal.

It's not leather either.

But you can clearly tell it's armor.

Without going so far as to say, his hands and feet are armored with a suit of patchy black fabric that covers his skin without gaps, from his neck to his face.

Phantom.

It was most appropriate to describe it that way.

"I can't see with my [King's Eye]...!?" What the hell are they...! "

When I hear Elvis murmuring, I can't help but think.

Equipment that rejects Spirit Magic.

Could it be that suit--!

"--You are so sensitive, Demon King."

With a heavy, low voice, a big man stepped forward in front of the big spider.

Like the other phantoms, the big man in a black suit covered his entire body and zipped down the zipper on the front of his face.

I knew the face that appeared from the inside.

Nearly forty dragon men shone silver scales on their cheeks and temples.

"... Diederich Baling..."

Elvis and Gawain got up fast to my murmur.

"Diederich Baling...!"

"Rowe's [Massacre Hero]! You're the general of the Demon King army!"

That's right - he's one of my men.

Captain of the Demon King Army and Airborne Dragon Knight Squad. My personal strength is probably second only to mine.

Outside of Daimkurud, however, another synonym would be more famous.

"The Heroes of the Massacre".

He once lost his support to the scandal while practicing martial arts in the Kingdom of Rowe to be considered a hero, and at the end of the day, he laid hands on a large number of people in the city.

"... what are you going to do, Diederich?"

I made a face as a demon king and questioned the general of my own army.

"Hermione von Rowe's abduction operation must be frozen." Besides, what is it? Well--the equipment made of the Evil God's thread! "

The identity of the phantom's suit.

Definitely. It's a garment made of Evil God's thread that nullifies Spirit Magic!

"... what are you going to do?"

Fu, and Diederich loosened their mouths to mock.

"With all due respect, this is our line, Demon King - no, Jack Reaver."

"... what?"

"It will be no calamity for the world. That is why we have gathered our demon king army. No doubt, no hesitation, just destroying everything--that's what it was. That would have been us! But what's the matter! The movement that has been going on since the other day to delay the start of the war with Rowe - if you follow Omoto, you'll arrive!"

…………

"You followed me...!"

Benny should have done his best. But Diederich was faster than that...! "

"I don't care why. I don't care what the circumstances are." In any case, at the time of stopping, you were not qualified to become a demon king - the resolution was already over. From now on, I, Diederich Baling, will take provisional command of the Sky Demon Territory Daimkuld! "

"... I mean, it's like a coup d 'état."

I pulled out the [Sacrificial Sword].

"I don't know whose wisdom it is, but did you use the power of the evil god to make your mind grow bigger?" If you thought you could help me, I'd have bought you a little too much. "

"That's true, even if it's an imitation." Your Majesty, once upon a time. Just as you used the power of the spirits of the world itself to wreak havoc, so I also decided to use the power of evil gods and witches. "

... a witch?

The moment I thought I was weird,

"Let me give you the advice that I once loved you-"

Diederich stretches his arms upward,

"--You 've already been tricked."

The figure had disappeared.

Disappeared, not at all.

It was gone (...).

(...) no one (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) and (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...)

"... eh...?"

"Helmina...!"

Diederich wasn't the only one.

The big spider, the other phantoms, and Helmina were all gone.

Hallucinations.

Spirit magic. They thought you were looking for something that wasn't there!

"Damn it! What I've done... is so easy to get...!"

It can't be helped. That big spider was driving everyone crazy.

Rachel said calmly to the poisoned ruby.

I was twisting my face,

"I knew it... was it the family of the evil god?"

Perhaps. If Baal is also a type of spirit, it is not strange that there is a spirit.

Even in Rachel's memory, the evil god scattered something like her own child.

However, the main body is still far away in the sky - I can't believe that a family member is descending to the ground so quickly...!

Everything is different from before.

Even if I'm cornered, I can't do it for free, Sharo...!

"... no, you're not cool, are you guys?"

Ruby told me to run into Rachel.

"Evil God? Baal? I don't know what I'm talking about!" What the hell is going on, Jack? Your kingdom! Hold on to your men's reins! "

"Oh... I wasn't expecting it either." In any case, it's only been a week since the original world line (route) split... it's too soon. "

It's not normal.

There is no doubt that something is pulling the thread on the back.

"... what's going on with Daimkurud now?"

Elvis said.

"You didn't come out without any preparation, did you?" I wonder if you're ready to grasp the situation in Japan. "

"Elvis, you..."

"My fiancée was just taken away, but she was so calm..."

Elvis laughed vigorously.

"I'm used to being irrational, thanks to you." - I can't break it like this. "

... Damn it. You're a brave man to rely on.

"Let's get to know the situation." I was worried about the Daimkurud, especially the Houjou. There's Phil's body over there-- "

― ― Your Majesty!

Just then, Vinny rushed over just in time.

She's the liaison. I always share my senses with Benny who remains inside the Daimkurud.

Vinnie was out of breath,

"Haha... I'm sorry..." To deal with it... your brain wasn't enough... and I'm late to report it. "

"Vinnie! Now, Daimkurud..."

"It's okay--it was in time." I'll be here soon... "

That's when the shadows overwhelmed us.

Look up at the sky.

A large chunk of soil was shading the purple-colored sky with a pitch-black shadow.

"Daimkurud's native country was captured by the rebellious army..." My brother barely disconnected the Hougu. ”

... Good. Fortunately for us, we are in a state of misfortune.

If we can protect them, which is the core (roost) of the country, we can rebuild them.

"Benny, Benny, good job."

"Yees...!"

When I stroke Pompon and Vinny's head, I tell Elvis and the others.

"Everyone, get up. I'm sorry for inviting you under these circumstances.
