Falling Mage and the Power of Divergence

Episode 278: Moderate Discussion

Having camouflaged a residential neighborhood in the northwest of the Empire, and having completed the post-processing of the Dedemonized Imperial Branch, which was based by creating a huge facility in its basement, Seyya and Sarunalin were returning to the Hall of the Great Demon King (Lucifer). The current situation of the Dedemonized Kings, which has become apparent in this one case, is too tragic to be left alone, so Seyya will immediately call Gilanel and Daldar upon his return to set up a forum for discussion.

Gilanel and Daldar, who welcomed Seyya, quickly moved to the conference room, although they showed a slight surprise at the presence of Sarunalin. And when Seyya tells them the facts she saw and heard at the base of the Dedemonized Kings, they are all wrapped up in heavy air.

"Really, there's a Leirian magician in the back of the Dewitching Kings"

And it's surprising that it's not just a magician, it's a premium magician.

"Personally, I'd be surprised if Saiya-kun became a premier magician."

The demon kings show the reaction of the triplets to Seyya's report. Because they are in the position of Demon King, they are also familiar with how Leiria works, so they understand exactly what a special magician is like.

By the way, shortly after Seyya's return, Gilanel put up a salutation for Sarunarin, who called Seyya, but he had become absent about it because Seyya didn't care. As for Gillanell, I think we should adopt an attitude of reverence towards Seyya in view of his position as Demon King serving the Great Demon King, but there was a little resistance if we tried Sarunarin, where the first encounter was about the relationship between the adventurer and the guild staff.

That's the same with Seiya, who takes the stance that she doesn't care because some things are a little nasty to be used to honor Sarunarin, who is losing once.

Because of that interaction, Gillanell's eyebrows were moving piquely every time Sarnalyn called you about Seyya. But Sarunarin, who hasn't noticed or pretends not to notice that, doesn't mind calling Saiya a prize.

"By the way, does Seiya know who that premier magician is?

"Unique. Only one of the thirteen, including me, uses the magic of mental interference."

"I knew it would be convenient to have a Leirian magician at times like this."

It would be very gratifying from the Dacrya side to have a star on a premium magician who supports the Dedemonization Kings from behind. No matter how much the demon kings know about Leiria's magician, it's just his name and position, and he doesn't know what magic to use, etc. Especially if you are a superior magician, there are many times when rumors call for rumors to become a figure far from the truth.

But the same is true for Leirian, who knows a lot about the Demon Kings of Dacrea in the upper ecclesiastical hierarchy and the Association of Extraordinary Mages that unite the country, but not much about what magic the person uses. Therefore, it was gratifying from the demon kings that Seyya had information about Leiria.

"So what do you want to do with Seiya?

"I am not willing to deny anything that sets up a demon king system. But if they ask you to forgive them for their ways of abusing the weak for a purpose, you cannot forgive them."

Words I can say because I am a seiya who can well understand the feelings of the weak who are abused for the self-centered thoughts of the strong. It's an unconvincing word to say by a magician of experience who had power from the beginning and was abused by the powerful.

"I mean, sweep the demon king, okay?

"That's not a problem. That's the country I want to make."

"Great words. Dear Saiya,"

"That's true. Seems like you've been a lot better than you were the first time."

Gillanell and admiring Daldar, touched by Seyya, who increasingly wears his style as Lucifer the Great Demon. Having seen the two of them like that and given them a slightly bewildered look, Sarnarin is probably stunned by Gillanell's parental stupidity.

"Then it's a specific plan."

"That's what I want you to hear."

"Mm, what?

"About the new mamon."

The existence of the new Mamon is still unclear, but Seyya, who gets important information about its candidacy from the mouth of Mikola-Asmodeus, who became the new Demon King, tells the Demon Kings about it.

Actually, it's the new Asmodeus.

"To Asmodeus? Were you hurt?

"I'm fine. He mistook me for a special magician."

"That's good."

The moment I heard you make contact with Mikola, Gillanell with a hurried look on his face may still be a parent idiot.

"So Mikola told me."

"Mikola, is it?

"Bad. I hear Mikokabrera-Diskian changed his name to Mikola during the Asmodeus raid"

"Yes, it was."

Daldar, with his neck tied to a name he can't hear, is convinced of Seyya's explanation. Apparently, as far as that reaction is concerned, radical intelligence gathering isn't very fragrant.

"I'm going to be Mamon now. I'm going to pick her up."

"She... I mean, is the rapist mamon a woman?"

"Probably. Bad, but I couldn't hear any more"

"No, enough information. Once you know your gender, you can narrow it down a lot from the candidates we have here."

"Exactly. Besides, the more a woman becomes a demon king, the more powerful she is."

As Daldar puts it, men are more likely to become high-ranking adventurers in Dacrea, where the profession of adventurer makes up the majority. Women also have excellent adventurers, most of whom retire in marriage and elsewhere, and then concentrate on raising their children. For that reason, if you become a woman, your candidacy will be narrowed down.

"But you didn't get that information at my place."

"Are you in the guild? So the candidate belongs to a clan of radicals?"

Sarunarin, with connections to guilds everywhere, comes in with information about another adventurer. If there were an adventurer to Demon King, it would naturally be a rumor. The lack of that rumor probably means she's not an adventurer.

"Are we going to find him?

"In the meantime, it would be nice to look at the Empire's immigration history and narrow it down."

"Right."

"Right."

The meeting of the demon kings of the moderates thus added Seyya closes the curtain. And that's when each tried to dissolve, Sarunarin stopped calling about Seyya.

"Ah, Seiya."

"What's up?

"Do you have time now?

Seiya can't measure intent on a sudden question, but I have time to answer honestly.

"No problem, though."

"Oh well. So why don't we duel now?

"Hey, Sarunarin, you!

Gillanell blames Sarunalin for his bumpy offer to Seyya. Because depending on the offer, you can fight in the chair of the Great Demon King. But of course I'm not going to do that to Sarunalin.

"I wonder how much you've grown since before. Besides, I don't want to serve anyone weaker than myself."

It is an obvious provocation, but a suggestion that I never thought possible for Saiya. When you become an adventurer in Dakulia Fourth District, this is your chance to get revenge for Saiya, who admitted defeat to Sarunarin.

It is also true that I wonder how much I could have grown from myself then. So Seiya took the suggestion pleasantly.

"I was just hoping to get revenge too"

"Oh, well, that's good"

"Dear Saiya..."

"Ho, this sounds interesting"

Thus opened the curtain was Seyya's revenge match.
