- Dierian Perspective

"Hii, hii!

One last person left screams and runs away. It's easy to catch, but I dared to miss it. Because I'm not going to kill them either. Sure, they're annoying, but they're not working enough evil to kill where they are right now. Ma, I don't know what happens later.

"Shall I talk to you? What's that move? Who told you that? Tell me what you know."

When he picked up the sword the man had and poked it at him, Blackcrumb began to talk like he'd given up after a moment of hesitation.

"This... is the power gained by medicine"

"Medicine? What is that? Who gave it to you?

"My superior officer gave me the medicine. They told me it was a medicine that would make me stronger..."

According to the story, this man was originally not a knight or anything in the kingdom, but a leading aristocratic private soldier belonging to the Stieds. Though Steed was in a dark fight with his second son, Magna, the situation changed with Rubias, a brave man, on the Magna. They got disadvantaged at once, even though they had a pretty good chance of being close to the next king's throne. In a hurry for this situation, Steed aimed to reverse the situation with a bee raised by force.

Even so, if you obviously gather your troops, you'll notice as much as you want. On top of that, the situation continued to be unfavourable and therefore inferior in terms of military strength. I don't care what you think. In an octagonal situation, Steed apparently got some strange medication from somewhere.

"That was the medicine that unleashed my potential. Even so, drinking doesn't make anyone stronger. Only some of the medications fit were collected as SS Steed."

The man smiled a little as he was proud of his selection. In contrast to such a man, I think deeply.

(Medicine to unlock potential? There is no such convenience. That sign I just felt, that was definitely grumpy. So he and the Steed SS were remodeled before they knew it?)

Looks like Steed set up his main force as SS after finishing his medicinal selection in all the noble territories belonging to the Steed faction. They unified themselves with all-black monochromatic equipment, whose abilities greatly surpassed those of traditional knights and soldiers. They literally kicked the Magna faction's power.

A powerful black knight who cuts down even a handful of concurrent soldiers in dozens. Let it lurk everywhere so that it is not enlightened, and bee up at the same time as time. The coup d 'état by Steed was a success when the main forces of the kingdom, disrupted by a complete surprise attack, were defeated one after the other and the main stronghold was seized.

(Sure... a soldier in a company wouldn't be dealing with it. Even adventurers can be tough if they are not more powerful than Silverrank)

Now we know where Steed gathered his power from. But that's not the end of the story. I still have something to ask you.

"You just said you were some of the people who fit in, right? What happened to those who didn't fit?

When I visited him that way, the man groaned with a bitter look.

"... dead"

"Dead!? All of them!?

"That's right. The guy who couldn't fit died in agony on the spot where he took his medication..."

"Do that..."

Saying it's to create the elite, but it's a very insane crime. I let my own soldiers die - and I thought about it so much I realized. Even if you do that and create an elite one, if you keep killing a bunch of people to make one, any one of them will drastically decrease, and overall, the force will fall. But the man shook his head at the allegation.

"Me and I were soldiers around, but not necessarily the same in other lands. I have also heard stories of using criminals and unaccompanied orphans to build soldiers. No, that's probably the majority. It's unnatural to bother to reduce our own power."

Probably... that's true. I don't feel any better when the mystery is solved.

"Where did that medicine come from?

"There's no way a lower end like me would know. Probably doesn't even know the superiors who gave us the drugs. It would be safer not to know if Prince Steed created it independently or if he received technical assistance from somewhere."

You mean if you try to look poorly, they'll just kill you? Anyway, it became certain that the Steads were not decent people.... I don't have a word to return it if the guy who's going to have the coup is asked if it's decent. I could ask you what you wanted to hear for now. I put my sword in my sheath, flashing against a man. The man, who had taken a decent blow by accident, fainted on the spot without the art of exchange.

"From what we've just seen, it's clear that the Demons are involved. Maybe Steed has the Devil's Clan to help him. We have to hold onto that evidence."

If the Demons were publicly involved, we would be able to fight the Steeds in dignity without escaping and hiding. He who gives to the brave and the devil tribe - it is obvious which the people direct, etc.

"Well...... then how do we move?

It will tell you that we have returned from the mouth of the man who let us escape this time, and now it makes no sense to falsify our identity. Then should I reopen it and stand out? Karin and Ciel also play a role, but only as others, so sooner or later we can get away with it. Then I think I'd better move so everyone else can move easily. Maybe if we get around well, we can get the secret to the medicine.

With that in mind, the adventurers who were silently watching what happened ran over.

"Oh, that! Mr. Dieria! Thank you!

"Thank you!

"Be sure to let me thank you!

"No, you know, take it easy"

It would be nice if you could take my hand and pass on a word of gratitude, but it's a little too much pressure. It didn't seem any different to train to instinctively alienate aggressive people.

"Is there anything I can do to help? We're powerless, but we'll do anything we can!

When the adventurer holding my hand said so, he shook his head vertically as the two behind him also agreed. I don't care what you say you can do... Oh, yeah. Just in time, please help me promote it.

"Then I need a favor, will you spread two rumors?

"Cheap help! What kind of rumors?

There are two things I asked them to do. One is that I - one of the brave parties, Dieria, said she was headed to investigate the Steed aristocracy. The latter is to say that the Steeds are endowed with demons. Whatever it is about me, the Demons are giving it away. I haven't been able to grasp the certainty yet, but it's better to keep the basement of the counterattack in place.

"Was the Demon Clan involved... No way..."

They couldn't seem to hide their agitation when they were exposed to the existence of demons where they could not imagine. Naturally, too. You didn't have anything to do with the Kingdom of Bordeaux when you said there was an invasion of the Demons.

"Probably. Besides, you better not come to the training center until the current commotion subsides. I'm in danger of getting tangled up again, like this one, and this time I might see worse. Will you tell that to the adventurers you know?

"Wow, I get it. I'll be sure to tell you!

"You asked for it."

With that said, I uprooted the possessions of the falling men in advance and put them in my own pocket with nothing to eat. The adventurers watching the sight just kept their mouths open with Pocan.

"Um... Mr. Dieria? What the hell is that...?

"It's a loot. I would have done this to cut off one of my arms, so I'm generous, too, right? Well, I asked for the rumor."

I forcefully end the conversation, and I turn my foot straight out of the city. For some reason I felt the gaze piercing my back, while I speeded up my gait.

(This is not going to bother you for a while. Well, where shall we go at first?)
