Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence
Episode 268: Peaceful Days End Suddenly
Having completed today's study group by Daldar, Seyya was rolling out to the city of Dacrya by herself. It was actually Seyya, who was thinking of resting in her room after her studies, but she changed her plans abruptly because she had also received advice from Daldar that viewing the city would improve her understanding of Daklia.
By the way, Seiya, who also invited me about Rona, but Rona disappeared into her world because she said she had something to do. So Seiya comes to Dacrya for the first time and walks alone looking at the city.
"I don't know, it's peaceful"
Seiya groans as she looks around. But if you turn it into Seiya, who was on an adventure in the Kirel Mountains until the other day, you won't be forced to peacefully bog down on your vacation since the Leiria Magic Games.
Though it is likely to be an intermittent vacation due to the impending Demon King's Council that will determine Dacrea's new system. There is no point in Saiya having to do anything in particular, as Gilanel is currently desperately hand-wielding about the Demon King's Conference.
Seiya looking around again.
There are a wide variety of other sights around, including a friendly family holding hands, a couple walking amicably with arms, and other adventurers just returning from adventure and clowns performing on the street.
When I went out onto the main street, one side of the neighborhood was covered by the opening of the store, and the children as well as the adults seemed to enjoy themselves. The sight of the uplifting of the Demon King's Conference in front is no less daunting than the Aquamarine Evening Festival that Seyya once experienced.
There was a lot going on in Miscon then, but today Seiya will not have any particular problems because of her celibacy. With that in mind, something goes into Saiya's eyes.
"That's..."
It was a large fountain in the heart of the city that came into Seyya's sight. It is also natural to be blinded by its splendid construction, but more than that it is a memorable place for Seyya.
"I miss you, that's where you found out who Arthur is"
That's where Seyya first met the Saint Knight Arthur-One's. The first place I had was where I had dinner the day before that, so it may not be technically the first place I had, but it's no different where I found out that the girl's identity was with Saint Knight Arthur-One, Leiria's most powerful magician.
If you take it to Seiya, who was expecting a more muscular intimidating magician, you'd be surprised who Arthur was when he was about thirteen. But its strength was as rumored, and it was greatly helped when attacking the Kirrell Mountains.
The encounter, which feels like a long time ago now, is actually a recent event. However, for the intense experience in the Kirel Mountains, it is not impossible for the encounter to feel like it used to be.
Seiya approaches the fountain square feeling nostalgic for the memory of when it was.
"Hmm?"
Then Seyya found a small crowd near the fountain square. There were several stalls in Fountain Square selling ice cream, crepes, cotton chives, etc., as well as strangely dressed groups playing street arts and gathering the eyes of children, and other men single-handedly performing their instruments, but only one of them had a heterogeneous area.
If you say so, a space like distortion (hizu) that was born in a pleasant space.
When Seyya comes close to me concerned, apparently one man with the fountain on his back is giving a speech. And the way people around you are eagerly listening to the man's words. The contents of the article then drew a line from the atmosphere on the spot.
"I see, is this what Daldar was saying"
As soon as he sees the man speaking, Seyya understands what Daldar intended. To my surprise, the content of a man's speech was an appeal for the abolition of the Demon King system.
That's just a hot topic Seyya just learned from Daldar.
"We don't need a demon king in this Dacrya! How can there be demon kings, it's to connect the dotted districts and have a smooth interaction! But what about the status quo! Zone Two's functionality has already been lost and even Zone Seven has stopped functioning in the last few days! This is due to the vulnerabilities of the Demon Kings, and we no longer need a Demon King!
Is the man who appeals to the people an adventurer? The number of people listening to the man's words is about thirty. It is still a small group compared to the neighborhood because it refrains from holding the Demon King's Conference at present and makes such speeches within the city of the festive mood.
But if other districts fall into the same situation where the Demon King system ceases to function as Dakulia II and VII districts, the movement to list demon kings like them could heat up even more and become a large enough group not to be inferior to the rest of the population. Seiya listens to the man who gives the speech while thinking about it.
"Now is the time to usher in a new era! It's the dawn of a new era by adventurers!
The adventurer man continues desperately to complain, and the people who listen to the story nod convincingly. Moving our gaze to a group of people listening to speeches so that they are not noticed, we can see from that identity that they are also adventurers. Besides, as far as that hurtful gear goes, they're not feathery high-ranked adventurers, they're more like low-ranked adventurers dissatisfied with the job description.
They desperately complain about the Dedemonization King system, but the people around them don't even see how they care, rather than gaze at it. That's as if you haven't seen them. But that may well be natural. The people who live in the Dacrean Empire, the capital of this country, are a class that is benefiting from the Demon King system, a existence that, if taken by them, must have a Demon King system.
The low-ranking adventurers who deny the Demon King system are no different to the stone on the street for them. This is the reality of Dacrya and what Daldar wanted to show Seyya.
It would have been different if this had been the other neighborhoods, not the capital, but it was a reckless act to sue the demon king system in the capital, which is the kneecap of the demon king system.
"They seem serious, but it's a bad place"
One man has spoken to Seyya, who was listening at the end of a group of adventurers who complain about the system of demonic kings.
"Long time no see"
"You..."
When Saiya, who was suddenly spoken to, turned around, there was a man standing next to her. The moment she recognizes the man, Seyya summons Hollins to battle mode, but she manages to. Seiya is not stupid enough to wield a sword all over a city like this.
Besides, the other side didn't feel the will to fight either, so Seiya immediately eliminates the will to fight. If the other side had the will to fight, it wouldn't have allowed Seyya to get so close, no matter how much he was alert. Not to mention because they're that Miko Cabrera.
The man standing next to Seyya was Mikokabrera-Diskian, who recently inherited the name of Asmodeus.
