Upon entering the Wang capital, we first picked up today's inn, finished dinner, and then headed to the royal castle.

Central Avenue, where the night book descended, relies on the lights of the dwellings and the lights (lights) spell to illuminate the streetlights down the road.

"Hey Will. Now, can I ask you something?

In the middle of that, a satsuki walking in front turned only his face to this side and said that.

I had a bad feeling about it, but I listen back.

"Oh, my God."

"No, you know... why did we come all the way to Wang Du?

Kun.

Me, Mi, and Cyril got laid.

The unpleasant feeling was brilliantly centered.

As soon as I regained my mind, Mi gently elbows down the satsuki walking next door.

"You've followed me this far a lot, Satsuki... Eileen called me."

"Oh yeah, I remember that. That's it, the magic of talking to the person in the mirror... what is it?"

"Are you talking about communication (contact)?

"Oh yeah, that. So the princess wants you to come to the king's capital."

Even with that satsuki, he remembered that.

A few days ago, we were in the mining city of Noban, where Princess Irene contacted us.

In a communication (contact) spell that uses a magical mirror to connect distances, she told us to come to Wang Du because she has a job request.

So we spent a few days on a journey to King's Landing.

"So, what doesn't Satsuki know?

"No, I don't know, you had a reason to be called. I wonder what it was."

"Are you talking about the 'Demon King'?

"Oh, that's it! That's what I want to hear about the Demon King."

"... I see. Okay, let me explain."

Mi just sorted out my argument, and I'm going to take one of the knowledge I learned from my magic school days out of my brain to answer Satsuki's questions.

And to make it as easy as possible to understand, I decided to explain it in turn.

"Do you know Satsuki when it comes to the 'Demons'?

"Um, I don't know, somehow? They're the ones with bad purple skin, growing fangs, horns, nails... sure, they were pretty strong, huh? Do you live in a place called" Demon Realm "?

Answers were returned with a terminal image.

Well, I could say it's firing a target in a way.

"I guess that's the place. As a matter of fact, the details regarding the Demonic Nation are still not well understood from a biological point of view. So I think it's not surprisingly a bad approach to talk about it in terms of appearance, amazement as a monster, habitat, etc."

"Hmm...... does that mean I was complimented?

"... well, to put it very briefly, yes"

"Yay! Will praised me ~"

…………

Satsuki to start a small leap.

Sometimes I get worried about this beautiful, sword-armed girl, but I'm so sorry about the other parts.

"... okay. So about the Demon Nation, but as Satsuki put it, it is a race that is generally believed to live in a different realm called the 'Demon Realm'. Although it is a single human type, the color of the skin is purple to herd blue, and although there are individual differences, many things can be seen that produce sharp fangs, nails, horns, etc."

"Hmm, my image generally fits. That's me."

………… And it's amazing as a monster, but even the weakest common demon tribe is generally rated as equivalent to Monster Rank C. "

It should also be noted that Monster Rank C is a level of strength where an adventurer party of average strength with some or more experience can deal with the whole party without any problems.

Rockworm's adult defeated many times in the mining city of Noban is a D-rank, so it's one rank higher than that.

"Phew... you're a little strong, but you're not even an opponent you can't win alone. Surely under one of the Oak Emperors, Oak Road was C-ranked? I can't be alarmed, but if it's about that, don't worry about it."

When Satsuki says so, Cyril frowns on the side.

"... you know, Satsuki, don't use your strength as a yardstick. You'd better be aware that you're a little unusual right now."

"... hmm? Really?"

"That's right. From a normal person like me, a monster rank called" C "is someone who finally hangs up in a bunch of people."

I give a big nod to Cyril's words, too.

Sure, considering things based on the strength of satsuki right now, don't feel all kinds of weird.

In my view, Satsuki is quite the B-rank adventurer right now.

From an overall adventurer's point of view, it would obviously be top notch, within the top five percent.

Even Cyril, as mentioned earlier, as a cleric (Holy Order), has enough strength to serve as a Deputy Temple Manager for the Samurai (Acolyte) class - a city temple.

He's not as ordinary as he says he is.

And that's just like the other party member, Mi.

After being able to handle auras that enhance their physical abilities in addition to being strong enough as bandits (sheafs), their combat abilities have outgrown those of lined warriors as well.

But if they're looking at everyday conversation scenery...

"Satsuki is sure that all the nutrition that should turn to otum is sucked into the arms of the sword. I can't help it."

"Yes, yes. I'm retarded for that matter - wait a minute Mi, that's not terrible!?"

"And Cyril is getting sucked by her tits,"

"Whoa...!?... Hey Mi, can you come to the Temple's penance room later?

... are normal beautiful girls who just have a very pleasant exchange of what it is.

No, the expression "normal beautiful girl" is also allergic, but somehow I can't help it because I actually have all the beautiful girls.

But it's good to be happy, but it's also a matter of not being able to move on.

"I'm sorry, can I keep explaining?

"" "Ah, yes" "

When I called, all three of them became silent.

Confirm that, and I'll resume the explanation.

"So, its demonic race, but as is the case with other races, there are naturally individual differences. Some of them jump through and are powerful -" Demon King "refers, among other things, to those who are powerful. There must be only a few demonic kings confirmed in human history."

Three girls spit on my words.

And Satsuki asks terribly.

"... isn't that a pretty nasty one? No, because... you're a regular demon, right? Then who's the demon king..."

"Oh, it's quite a monster. If the Demon King appears in the country with his demon tribe, a small and medium-sized country is expected to be important enough to have a major impact on the existential crisis, the tense relations with neighboring countries, and the military and political level even here in the Kingdom of Grace Road or so"

"Uhhhhhhh!?... seriously... why are you trying to get involved with me like that...?

"I don't know that far. I'm on my way to Royal Castle to hear that.... has this largely captured the situation, Satsuki?

When I heard that, Satsuki shook her head vertically.

It seems that Satsuki also understood the magnitude of the matter by explaining it so far.

No matter how strong Satsuki is as an individual, the emergence of the Demon King is not a matter of that level.

But on the other hand, Mi hits a new question.

"But what do you mean, something like that suddenly 'appears'? I mean, what's" demon world "?

It was a slightly troublesome question.

I choose words carefully and explain them.

"That too, I guess, should be answered 'I don't know'. One of the powerful theories is that the demonic world is a different world from our world, where interference can occur when the two are closer than constant, that is, when material and organisms in each other's world move between worlds."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Mi doesn't seem to understand."

"Mm... right"

Mi gibbered up understanding.

By the way, Satsuki seemed to have something like a soul coming out of his mouth that was open.

"... well, I think there's a different world named the Demonic Realm, and very rarely from there, it's like the Demon Nation suddenly moves in moments"

For once, add some chewed up explanations.

Then Cyril, who was somehow following the story, asked me another step-by-step question.

"Uh... Demons are the things that allow us to come and go freely between that demonic realm and our world?

"No, that's probably been seen as impossible. So if that theory is correct, the Demons who have been flown into this world can also be considered victims of interference."

"... but that said, if they don't come peacefully over there, we'll have to bump into each other by force."

"That's the thing. And in history, there are no examples of demons having taken a peaceful attitude towards humanity. At least not as far as I've learned."

As we walked down the night lane talking about that, we eventually reached the front of the royal castle.

I tell the gatekeeper who guards the castle gate that Princess Irene called me to visit.

And after waiting in front of the gate for a while, behind the gate of the royal castle, I saw a figure rushing through the courtyard with a patter.

The figure, who looks like both a beautiful boy and a beautiful girl with silver hair shortcuts, turns to that gorgeous smile when he comes before us.

"Thanks for coming, Will. And Satsuki, Mi, and Cyril, too. Just go inside. We'll talk in my room."

With that said, Eileen, who has become a princess of this country and my childhood friend, led us through the courtyard and headed to the main building of the castle.

The four of us followed her into the castle.
