a certain room
A man in white is alone, bumping himself into a question.
"Of the nails," why don't you leave!
(Don't panic. It's not the time yet.)
"Don't be ridiculous! Resentment accumulated enough. I think I've got your share! With it, you can get out of my body and become advanced. That's what you said!)
(Uh, yeah. But things have changed. You can't do anything far-fetched. You saw it, too. You've got the Superior Devil of the Sword right in front of you! It's not junior, it's advanced! There are those who defeat it with one blow...)
"Did you cower?
(Whatever you say, it is possible that you can do the same when you become my superior. Is that okay with you? If you become a "superior demon," you may find a place where strong magic can leak out. Wouldn't be a good place to find out, would it? You can always keep the 'grudge beads' on your skin so you can be my superior!)
"Something unsolicited..."
(But what are we going to do... Your wish is almost fulfilled. All the nobles in that realm are dead. More than half the people must have died, too)
"Uh yeah. If I hadn't gotten in the way, I would have really eradicated it, but those damned women and their daughters would have stayed..."
(How much is that... didn't there just be one or two girls left...)
"Shut up! You know what I mean!... It's not over yet..."
Then what are we gonna do? Summon the devil again? Even if I subtract the amount I use, I can summon three intermediate bodies with the rest of the "grudge beads," and quite a few juniors. You can summon them instantly, even if they don't last as long as before!)
"Anyway, I need information... the guy from that tribe... I'm not sure if he did advanced, but he's a pretty good user. Without the magic tools of metastasis, they could have done it."
(I guess I'll have to see how it goes for a while... don't laugh about me...)
"Ah right...... That hateful Pigseed border uncle is dead. All the foolish aristocrats who despised my clan are also dead. Do you want to have fun with that bitch and her daughter later... I just want to be quiet for a while and explore that guy's info... but I can't move flashy..."
(Oh yeah. Why don't we just take it slow? We have plenty of time. You're not getting old while I'm assimilating. What do you say, do you still want me to leave?)
"Well, I'll be patient for a while now."
(Wahahahahaha, that would be good. For a while, you'll endure with the information you get from the demon. If you increase the number of demons you use, you'll be able to pick up quite a bit of that guy's information too...)
"Right...... Increase the number of demons used.
Besides, the example tissue seems to be working very well. Something stinks...
Funny things could happen.
Yes! I've come up with something interesting. Twenty years ago, I made a secret society... it might be interesting to make that one again... if only people were dead now... more people would fall into darkness... kukukukukuku... "
(Hmm, looks like you're finally back to normal. Isn't that interesting?
Plus, that organization can't fool around. Are they the ones who made "The Fucking Snake Arrow"? By the way, how many more bottles are left?)
"I only have five more. Besides, do you think you can make it into that organization, like the art of manipulating demons, even though it's exclusive to snake demons? You stole it somewhere else, or it's a relic of the past you excavated in ruins."
Do they have anything else?)
"Probably. Looks like we didn't take it all. If we move freely, we'll take the rest of it soon... too much..."
(So how many more "Ruling Collars" are left?)
"There's only three of them, too. The mass production plan was completely frustrated. Most likely, he's hiding here, but he can't even get a powerful demon to use the Ruling Collar. The treasure is rotten..."
(Well, don't rush. Didn't it take twenty years before? Without those twenty years, we wouldn't have made it this far.)
"Hmm, do what you find out! You devils have a different sense of time! How many twenty years..."
That said, the man in white threw the teacup he had on the floor.

Conference Room at Pigseed Border Border Border Border, Territorial Castle
"Sister Euphemia, are you sure you want to go all the way to the King's Capital?
Anna, the late Mrs. Borderline, drops her gaze anxiously.
"Oh yeah. You can't do this with magic communication. I need to convince my brother to shut up the loud nobles around him."
The Duchess of Euphemia replies in an abominable manner, shaking her head gently.
"Really...... would a lord act like a sister to me?
"Talk about it again. Anna, you can't let a weak bug out. You can do it. Now is the time for a fine lady lord, but when you were younger, you were quite a mistress!
"I don't like it, sister, it's such an old story... and it doesn't even bother you, such as my wife."
"Hahahahahahahaha, well maybe so, but I think Anna was a pretty good wife too. You can do what you want. We protect this Pigseed Frontier Land, and the Pigseed Frontier House!
"Yes, sister"
"Leave Sharia here for a while. One of these days, Julia should come. I will return to Seyburn once I have summed this up in the capital. Then I'll bring Miriam with me. It'll be a good study for her, too."
"I'm so sorry. It will also be hard for my sister..."
"What... I always train the military and civilians so I don't get annoyed with some things. I don't want to be a jerk when there's a criminal gang out there."
Niyally laughs that the Duke of Euphemia doesn't have to worry.
"Sister, was it really good to gather the inhabitants in three municipalities? Will you all move away from the land we're all used to living in?
"Right...... well I guess not everyone right away...... You shouldn't impose it completely."
"Tell him to leave what's left..."
"It's inevitable, people have something more important than life. You can't impose on people like that...
Still, I'm surprised at the proposal to narrow it down to these three. I couldn't think of anything.
But if it's suggested, there's no better idea. I'm worn out anyway, it makes sense to put it together. That way, there's more chance you can protect it no matter what. If the criminal organization had just moved us... we wouldn't have been able to do anything. "
"Right...... On second thought, there would have been no life for me or my daughters without Dear Nia or Mr. Grimm. The people would have lost more lives."
"Anna... what do you think of Grimm?
"What do you say?
"He... I don't know what he's good at... Of course I know I'm not a bad person. Something... awesome or something... I haven't shown it that way, but he's pretty strong. Then it's a piece of goodwill like a lie. What a strange man..."
"Right. You really look like an abnegation reminiscent of the legend of the first generation."
"Oh, really... Instead of being hung by noble titles and showing no interest at all, you're stubbornly rhetorical. I really wanted to make it a higher title..."
"Well, thanks to your sister, you've become a nobleman in this realm, and you can raise as many titles as you want later."
"Oh, you're finally starting to look like you. Exactly. By the way, why don't you let him marry Sophia? It would be best if he entered the Pigseed family as son-in-law..."
"Yes... but I don't even think Mr. Grimm would be happy to take it the other day.... Most importantly, I want my daughters to marry someone they really like."
"Hahaha, that's sweet. The one who says that in nobility nowadays is about you and me, hahahahahaha...... We're married to a man who's in love with each other..."
"Right. I just think it's quite possible that she'll like Mr. Grimm."
"Ho... that's exciting. So the mother knows. If your daughters don't shoot well, one of our daughters might turn him into a thing. At least Sharia is... like that kid... because I've never seen her before... Well, Daita, you haven't even noticed who you are. That's what mothers know."
"Hehe, you're looking forward to the future"
"Oh, right. Then Anna, let Grimm and Nia be as free as possible. If you let me go, it will be for this realm. I know..."
"Right. That's what I think too. The question is how long will you stay in this realm..."
"Totally... you know what I mean..."
"Well, you can't help thinking about it. I will try harder than that to be an unbeatable lord to my sister. As a pigseed female border uncle... even for the one who died..."
"Oh, right. Then I'll be there. Anna."
"Yes. Welcome, sister"
Anna sent out her beloved sister-in-law forcefully, renewing her determination to become a woman's frontier uncle.
