Dual Life ~Hiru wa Yuusha Party, Yoru wa Maou Gun~

"Yulia, what's your weapon?"

"Once, only a self-defense dagger. But it's okay, the demons will definitely try to defeat it with this hand."

"... I think it's better not to underestimate the demons."

"Fal brother ... I've trained as a hero for this day. It may be a bit faster than expected, but I'll definitely get it."

Falsa talked to Yulia as she ran, confirming that she had bitten a worm. In the first place, demons have never appeared around the royal capital, and it is natural that neither of them can be prepared to fight. However, Julia is now clearly excited and seems to be jumping with a dagger alone. Nevertheless, Falsa had no idea where the demons were and how they got into the royal capital. The demons, not only with red eyes, but also horns, tails, wings, etc., are so prominent in appearance that they cannot easily sneak into human lands. If this is the northern part of Valois, which is in contact with the demons, it is still a royal capital and is located almost in the center of the kingdom. If you pass along a highway, it is highly likely that you will be able to find your identity at a checkpoint along the way, so it is extremely difficult to get through places with few people, that is, forests and mountains where many monsters live. It is. No matter how tough a demonic has a physical body, his magic and physical strength are limited, and he must come to the royal city with his nerves so that no one can find him in danger and at all times. Even if there is any purpose, the meaning of infiltrating secretly disappears, such as being witnessed at the place where the number of users called South Gate is the largest. While Farsa was thinking about such thoughts, they eventually reached the southern gate, which was crowded. If danger is imminent, it may be more fleeing, but it seems that there are still a lot of wild horses.

"Falsa Specchiace, the court mage, and Julia, the hero. Report the situation."

Falsa began catching one of the guards on the spot. As soon as the two of them have removed their kingdom-issued ID cards from their bosoms, indicating that they are in a public position, the guards will immediately salute and begin explaining the situation.

"Huh! About fifteen minutes ago, the person who masked his face outside the gate made a loud claim that he was a demonic, and then ran away with one demonic wearing a robe. After that, the surviving demons roared and changed into a wolf, and the guards immediately besieged.Ten guards are still engaged and cheering to the Royal Palace already. I've requested that the masked person escaped too quickly, but that the remaining demons would be captured and extracted. "

Masked by the wolf, the purpose of the mastermind who caused the uproar is not yet known, but Falsa had only a bad feeling.

"Thank you, we're gonna do something here for now, so you're fine with your guards giving priority to the evacuation of civilians. Please! "

Falsa, who unilaterally ordered the guard, jumped out of the south gate with Yulia, jumping lightly over the hedges with tremendous jumping power. Farsa thought that knights and mages would still have a shortage of actors against the demons as much as the guards at the gates. As demons have a small population, they have the potential to turn over even ordinary human opponents even if there is a tenfold difference in their strength. In particular, most demons that use beast-changing magic to change their bodies are very good at physical abilities, and boast unrivaled strength in human-fighting combat. However, what jumped into Farsa's eyes was the appearance of a guard fighting well against the demons. Despite being a beast, its height is not different from Yulia, or a person who seems to be a small wolf demonic enough to see it below, wielding his arms and legs toward the guard while groaning I have. The speed itself was a true demonic, but the attack was clearly monotonous, and the guards continued to exchange without difficulty, keeping a certain distance. Three, three, and four squads surround the Wolf Demon Tribe to keep them from escaping, and move in clever coordination with the opponent's movement without breaking their formation. Perhaps he's dedicated to earning time before strong people like Falsa and Julia arrive.

"Is that ... a wolf demonic child?"

Farsa noticed that the opponent was still a child, based on the body of the wolf demons surrounded by the guards and movements during the battle. The wolf demons are fighting races that rely on hunting, and adults have some experience of fighting. However, the rampant wolf demons in front of them attack only by force and do not seem to have any understanding of how to fight. Added to her small size, Farsa speculated that she was still a Wolf Demon child.

"The demons ... the enemies of everyone in the village ... ah ah ah!"

When Falsa is surprised at the unexpected sight, Julia jumps at the Wolf Demon with a sword. The expression, which opens his eyes and makes a big wrinkle in his eyebrows, was clearly full of hatred, unlike the usual cheerful and bright Julia. The guards were surprised by the sudden intruder for a moment, but when they saw Yulia, whose cap came off and her white hair was exposed, she noticed that she was a brave man. start.

"It's a hero, Yulia!"

"A gray-haired hero! A savior who destroys demons!"

People who are on the horse around the south gate without cheering because the guards are fighting well begin to cheer. Yulia, a gray-haired hero, is a child-friendly name known to those who live in the royal capital, and was widely recognized as a tragedy girl who stood up against the demons. Those whose hearts have been broken down by demons are not old men, but their hair becomes white as burnt ash, and the rest of their lives will be spent as waste. This is a story about the dread of demons, which had been heard once by King Valois. However, Yulia was exceptionally found to remain insane, and after spending time in an orphanage in the royal capital, became a brave candidate and continues to this day. Even outside the royal capital, white hair is often considered to be a sign of a crock, and even in the royal capital, Yulia often wears a short hair and a hat because her identity is immediately exposed. Hat collection, which is now a hobby, was originally started to make himself less noticeable.

"urea……"

Yulia, a hero who repeatedly attacks with a dagger in one hand, and a small wolf demon who keeps evading at small dimensions with her own physical abilities. Falsa watched the battle with mixed feelings. In the past, Yulia, who once destroyed the village and lost everything by the demons, became a hero to gain revenge. Training as a hero is not unusually painful, as it aims to simultaneously obtain a sword above a knight, an attack magic above a mage, and a sacred magic above a church priest. Now he was able to spend some time relaxing while traveling, but among the brave cadets, he practiced vomiting blood from morning till night, except during sleep. Like Julia, many wanted to be brave, but many gave up on the way. There were some people who gave a heartless word to Julia with gray hair. But still, Yulia continued on her path as a hero without a break. All to revenge the demons who destroyed their villages and killed their families and friends. And now, Julia, who is behaving brightly, has always been cold-eyed when Falsa was training her cadets for magic, and has undergone changes that seemed unlikely to be the same.

"Because of you! Dad and mom! Everyone in the village! I will not forgive me! I will never forgive me! I will defeat the demons and the demon king!"

Now Julia is returning to her old age with revenge on the demons. One of the things Falsa was worried about, was the question of whether Julia could stay cool when she saw the demons. While capturing the demons and exploring the purpose of infiltration is a priority, Julia was aiming for attacks only in critical areas such as the neck and chest. The battle between the wolf monsters with poor combat skills and the hero Yulia, who has lost his calm, seems to be prolonged, but the battle ends soon.

"Oh, oh, the magic is ..."

Demons who use beastling magic also use enhancement magic to increase their physical abilities, so they consume a large amount of magic power. That's why you can't stand a long battle unless you have enough training and efficient magical operation. Fifteen minutes before the Falsa rushed, and as soon as the battle with Yulia caused the out of magic, the body of the wolf demons returned to their original form. The wolf demons, whose whole body was about one size smaller and fell into the spot, belonged to a girl familiar to Farsa.

"Le-"

--Lou--

Farsa was so nervous that she could easily get her name out of her mouth, but the upset of her heart was immeasurable. The other day, a wolf demonic girl who had suffered from black skin disease but had regained her health after being treated by Falsa. Yes, Lou, the only daughter of the Wolf Demon Chief Levault, was there. The demons live in the demons north of Valois, and in the forest in the northeast. It is impossible to move to the royal capital by ordinary methods, so it is impossible unless it is Falsa's transfer magic. And Farsa comes to a conclusion, that this is a plot to defeat himself. If the story goes to the demons that the masked demons suddenly appeared in the royal capital with a girl of the wolf demons, the first person to look at the doubt is the user of the transfer magic. There is no doubt that the lack of a lure in the wolf monster village will make a fuss, and you will have to calculate the difference between the time you later disappear and the time you appear in the royal capital. At that time, Mirage, the illusion, was in the royal capital as Falsa, so of course there was nothing to call an alibi, and he couldn't tell where he was doing what. In addition, there has been no other example in the past than Mirage, the four kings of the Demon Army, such as the Genma who can transfer from the demons to the royal capital.

"Ah, oh, oh!"

With no time for Falsa to think about a countermeasure, Julia, who saw her as a winner, roars and jumps at her dagger with a wolf demonic girl-Luu. Lou has lost her magic, and her red eyes only show scared colors, but Julia does not seem to realize she is full of revenge on the demons. Perhaps what is reflected in Yulia's eyes is not a childish girl, but a hatred demon with red eyes. Lou, on the other hand, couldn't move, either because of the rebound of the enchantment or if she was shrugging due to fear. Yulia's dagger stormed at Lou's scrutiny and fresh blood scattered around him shortly before blinking.

"Well, why ..."

However, Yulia stabs himself into the body, removes his hand from the drip handle of the drip, and retreats one or two steps, perhaps because he cannot believe the scene in front of him. There was a figure of Pharsa, who was behind Lou and received Yulia's bad blade on his back.
