- Solciere Perspective

It's a strange thing - that was the candid feeling.

These days it has become routine for me to gather and analyze information that comes from guild cards and user demons. I'm usually a diligent and far from lazy person, but I can't say that either in the current state of this world. I don't even want to do it. It's all about eavesdropping and the remote manipulation of secret agents. I don't even want to get involved in the outside world. But Brave - he couldn't just leave Lapis alone.

I may say that the environment surrounding her has changed dramatically in the past month. Who would have guessed that there would be a seizure in her country? I'm about to leave Lapis alone if she's not related, if she's on her own, but that's not going to happen if she's wanted. In order to make things a little better, we were forced to gather information in neighbouring countries, beginning with the Kingdom.

The information I get from the guild card I invented is the number of demons crusaded by their owners, the type of work they received, and the date and time. That will tell you roughly where demons are derived from, and what kind of people are hiring and trying to defend themselves.

I could confirm that the Kingdom of Bordeaux is parting into two factions and fighting over it. Even if one is on the verge of devastation, there should be no mistake in expressing that if there are two factions, they are divided into two. But that's not the problem.

"Only the Kingdom of Bordeaux is experiencing an extreme increase in demons...?

Demons occur all over the world before and after the resurrection of the Demon King, but only in the Kingdom of Bordeaux compared to other countries - in other words, the number of crusades by adventurers was unusual. There are twice as many Strom kingdoms and Llumiere that have caused great damage by allowing the demonic invasion. Conversely, the number of crusades in the Rebble Empire is extremely low, so much so that the adventurers are out of the country. This was clearly an anomaly.

"It's happening naturally... there's no way, is there? Obviously, it's manipulated. But who the hell did?

The most likely one would be the Demon Clan. But the only investigation by my user demons is the general military action of the demons, and I can't even grasp the whilst they are invading another country. I mean, assuming the Demons are moving in the main, it's good for me.

The next thing you can think of is if that's what the Empire is up to. It is not surprising that only the two countries, which are originally virtual enemies, have crushed each other in a way that avoids direct military power. But can you imitate intentionally manipulating a large number of demons of any kind, not even using demons, like me? If I could, it would be more of a wizard than me.

"Or the Demons are cooperating... right"

There was a wrinkle between nature and my eyebrows in the situation I least wanted to think about. Untie it with your fingers, while I turn my shoulders around. You shouldn't. Because he's a big enemy of beauty, like making wrinkles in his face.

Even in my time on active duty, there were a lot of people who were trying to work with the Demons to make themselves safe or profitable. But that's just an individual, not a group. Is it possible to cooperate with demons from country to country? For the demons, humans suck up fear. Food and entertainment. In other words, it is less than livestock. Even if we were cooperating now, we would always be betrayed later.

If you look at what they're doing, any idiot would be as predictable as that, but is an imperial human being so stupid that he doesn't even know that?

"... no, no"

Probably wondering if you think you can get out of it, or if you've already got a way of doing it. Otherwise it's weird. Having come to that thought, I pull a bunch of paper out of a picture on the bookshelf, roll up a few pieces and look for the item I'm looking for. This is the material of the Levre Empire, which was previously examined and left unattended.

"... There it is. Emperor Rebble Empire - Rebble V"

I'm just forty years old. Former warrior with red hair and a gusty physique. Originally from an intermediate aristocracy, he expanded his own forces by raising martial arts in civil unrest. A man who destroyed a number of hostile forces and ascended to the status of Emperor by force. What he can wear seems to be quite an industry, and the armor plays every attack, saying that the sword in his hand rips even steel armor like paper. Very ambitious and confident, as can be seen from what has become an emperor. I see my power as absolute, with ruthlessness that I do not condone my enemies.

"You're an easy man to understand. I would use anything for myself, and I don't care what other people do. But if it's him, it's okay to tie hands with the Demons."

I guess I should pass this information on to the Lapis and the others as well. When I was thinking about it, a girl jumped into my room.

She's been asked to hide from Lapis, Maria's daughter. Character is honest and obedient. She grew up slumming but has no threaded bent parts at all and is a mother thoughtful child. Maria's been teaching a lot at work lately, at my house. It absorbs the foundations of reading and writing and magic at an incredible rate, and the future is also fun.

"Dear Solciere! Sepia, your sister said you were ready for dinner!

"Okay. I'm on my way."

Throwing the material out to my desk and stretching one back, I stood up and stroked Leena's head. She tickles and yet doesn't have a reluctant bareback, and delightfully narrows her eyes. The number of rooms in my house is low and next to the study is already the kitchen. Though there is only a small variety, I waited for a dish that looked delicious to be eaten while getting the hot air up.

"Dear Solciere, Your meal is ready."

"Yeah, thanks, Sepia"

Of the three people I hid, this sepia was the most competent. That should be it, too. Because she is an active maid and exclusive to the princess. Among the maids who serve the castle, they draw a line with their surroundings when they become maids who serve the royalty. Of course, his ability is to do cooking, laundry, and even escort at the end of the day. He is the best of the elite. Thanks to her, I was able to scatter all I wanted. My house was quickly clean and I was ready to eat three decent meals.

"It looks delicious!"

"Leena, did you wash your hands properly?

"I washed it!

Growing up, Leena is holding a knife and a fork in both hands, waiting to start her meal now or now. I laughed bitterly at the way things were going. That's when I took the knife, too, and now there was a sharp warning sound in my head.

"Warning! Warning! The Demons and the Great Army of Demons are approaching!

A warning message came from one of the user demons, the bird demon, who releases a lot to explore what's going on out there. A number of demons were led by a handful of demons that would fill the vast woods that spread across the demonic realm. Are you planning on attacking another country?

"Dear Solciere, Can I help you?

"Yeah...... Kind of."

The demonic path also looks like it's going for this city in a straight line. This city should be completely cut off from the outside world and not even recognisable by the magic of illusions. I don't think that's possible, but have you discovered this city by any chance a demon tribe or something that doesn't make any sense? If so, it's a hassle. I put the knife I just held back on the table and get up off the spot.

"Master Solciere?

"I've got a little errand to run. I'm sure you'll be fine soon, but eat first."

If this is the army that will attack the human country, I am going to leave it alone. But if it's possible that the aim is here, then so be it. I'll have to be prepared just in case.

Return to the study and take the cane, which was now an ornament to hang the hat and robe, and swing it gently.

"Okay."

It's been a shame lately, but it doesn't seem like the feeling I had when I was adventurous is gone yet. The wand, the robe, and my favorite hat felt happy to turn up. Shaking off all sorts of memories that came back with the senses, I was sweeping my magic all over my body and moving in an instant into the outer skies.

"Well, first we have to find out what they're after."

To pick up the conversation of the leading demon tribe, I let the user demon dressed as a worm go under my eyes.
