When I checked her figure again, I noticed that she had something like a slightly smaller lunchbox in her hand.
Something antenna popping up in black paint. That doesn't even look like a slightly retro cell phone.
Is there some kind of telecommunications magic device that can be carried cordless?
"If you have any wireless information, give me your contact details."
"No, this can only be used within a specified range like in the guild. It's a private machine, so to speak."
"... does it make sense?"
"There is, isn't there? We treasure it when we engage in sensitive interactions."
I see. Plus maybe it's quite a hassle to place the fixer, like the line work.
But if you can already use it within a specific range, you may be free to use it more broadly in the future.
"So, I'd like to explain what's going on right now, okay?
"I have heard that demonic adventurers have received requests as a matter of priority, and that children will be allowed to represent them again. And Bomb has now essentially put this guild under his command to improve the situation."
"Right. Then I want to talk about the future for now, is there somewhere?
Me and Oink will turn the word around while the officials watch.
Then the adventurers pack up to the receptionist's side to see what's going on here.
Everyone opens their mouths with a slightly troubled look on Oink as they send a hot gaze that they can't miss each and every one of these actions.
"You do get noticed here. May I use the Branch Manager's room?"
Let me do that.
The moment I move out of reception, I head to the stairs wondering why I react like this to the adventurers who left reception at the same time as if they were shepherds' manipulative sheep.
Then I heard a small voice that was somehow difficult to describe, like the slightly trembling of the people around me.
And all that was unexpected to me.
"Director Oink is in front of me... wow, I want to dream..."
"You look beautiful after all... are you close with the Demon King too...?
"Master Oink is in this city... some big move...?
Oh, what are there so many followers of Oink? I know Oink's at the top, but I didn't know they thought it was like this.
Yabe, I just kicked your ass in front of the staff.
But I think my body would move if I were forced behind my back while making that call.
"You're popular, Oink"
"For once, you're treating me like Jeanne Dark from what I said in the previous world, on this continent"
"All right, you. Skin off to Baron Jill de Ré. And burn after you've been grounded by Jeanne fans from all over the world."
"Ho, is that true? I defeated the royal family that turned me into a tyrant and made it what it is! You're a hero on this continent telling the late Mr. Igzo, aren't you?
"Oh, I'll say it myself. Nice. They call me a hero. What a demon king I am, demon king."
"... I can say that because I don't know the weight of that name. Boom. Fine, I'll teach you, including there."
When he knocks to the branch manager's room and speaks, he hears a slightly impatient, somewhat low-profile response and opens the door.
But the blue-faced branch manager on this mentz suddenly starts to sit down, and he starts to line up his apologies with the floor facing straight.
Mr. Branch Manager, have you reacted even more excessively than I did? Are you so piggy doing fear politics? Shall I turn your brother into a roasted pig for you?
"Dear General! I apologize, for this lapse, for bearing the name of the guild, and for entrusting such a great responsibility to you! For one thing, because of my lack of strength, there is no sense of dismay for the staff and constituents -"
Block that line of furious apologies as Oink grins like a Virgin.
... what a healing voice all that counselor is. I think if they whispered in that voice, my spine would be cracked.
Can't you just flush it with "I can't help it"?
"Mr. Branch Manager, I'm not here to punish you. I need to talk to you about something important, so I asked you to rent me a room. Can you forgive me?
Oh no... are you such a character? I had goosebumps.
But the branch manager nodded with all his might and left the room with a raised expression as if even the goddess had seen him.
No, it's true, if you don't know what's in it and how it used to be, you're honestly a beauty on a level comparable to Lace and Rhue.
What do you care about dark hair, and some of it attracts you as a former Japanese?
But I don't know... I wish I could look at this face.
"What, you can finally show me a scene to show off your charm, and you can't hide your face, and you stick to it, and it leaks, and you have this evil online grin."
"Too esper, I'm afraid"
That's how much I know to take in my hands.
How much do I think I've adventured with you? Because it was just an exchange of letters, I was thinking about what they thought and how they felt, and this one.
And at the same time, she can read my thoughts.
So I'm more alert than usual.
"In the meantime, can you talk to me? What has happened since I came to this city to this day?"
And I speak.
What is the situation in this territory and the city?
About the incident that once happened to Reyes and his family.
There must be more rebellious intentions.
The fact that Lace and Rue are in the mansion.
And it won't be long before I move.
Just finishing up telling them all, Oink stares at this one with a rare, pain-relieving face.
I couldn't see any play there or the intention behind it, just seemed sorry, distorting its beautiful face.
"... I meant to keep my eyes on my surroundings as wide as I could. But I didn't know the inhabitants of this city had... Arkham had come this far..."
"From a standpoint, you can't stay on this continent forever, and your opponent is a powerful man on par with you again. No matter how much, I guess I could manipulate the information. I don't know how to say this, but there are some aspects that I didn't have a choice in."
Perhaps there was only a perception of the degree of old age that was hostile with political ideas.
Maybe he thought it was like a revolutionary trying to bind the formerly ruling class of humans and divide the country.
Maybe he didn't think he was such a familiar, just a criminal who distorted the ideas of his own people and created many victims over the years.
Yeah, that's just a criminal. It's not like he's a demon king, or a political enemy, or a revolutionary.
You're not the enemy you're supposed to be dealing with.
"But in those days I thought I had liberated this continent and made it a peaceful continent that would cut the future open with its own hands!
"I told you myself, you're a hero. Don't regret your past feats. It's impossible to save even those who will suffer in the afterlife."
"But! I've wanted a little more people to feel something called 'Peace', like that world we know!
"... Oink, you wanted to recreate that world in this world...?
"Oh! That's not true... but still, I..."
Honestly, I didn't even think dew had moved so far with noble thoughts.
I was wondering where he enjoyed expanding his money games and territory, like country pickup games.
Yeah, what weighs their feelings anymore, I guess it means that games and reality and internet and actual dating are different after all.
"I'm sorry, talk about this. That means it wasn't over."
"What is it?"
"I'm talking about Pork's hero Tan not over yet. We're going to keep going. I'm ready now, and after that, I wish I could take the opportunity to do what Pork hasn't done yet."
".................. thank you. Just, can I have a word?
"Hmm?"
"Doesn't that mean throwing all the post-processing round at me?
"Yes."
Can I find out if I put it together in a good story style? Really?
And again, outline the operation, the work you want Oink to do, and ask her to fill the hole in the operation.
My biggest concern is what happens if I kill Arkham.
Oh, there's not a single way to get it done without killing me. Probably the first time, someone who only thought about killing from start to finish.
"Well, first of all, if you cut it, you'll need a reason to explain what caused it."
"Because I got my hands on my precious family. Because it tormented the people. Because the Demon King is wearing it."
"It's out of the question. I mean, are you kidding me? Last"
"Yes. Actually, what kind of problem is there, how we can cut him off?
"Right......"
Oink says there are still implicit understandings, upward and downward relationships, in senators who decide the end of this continent as well.
The average person, or even an adventurer with silver, is seated in that seat, in other words, a leading man in a city or village that is not aristocratic, or a large merchant who puts together a major chamber of commerce.
But at a time when the royal family once ruled, the descendants and personalities of the lords who stood up to defeat it (for the most part because of their private lust) also said that they were in the same seat by asking money and power to say things and solicit organizational votes.
And its speaking power is strong, especially Arkham's authority to strongly draw royal blood, the influence of which is immeasurable.
But Oink's voice, the leader of the revolution, is also comparable, and everyone involved in the guild supports her.
And finally, there is another, influential senator comparable to these two.
He is now the descendant of the late hero, Mr. Igzou.
They say it's already been elsewhere, but at the time of the revolution, you think it was someone who kept confused residents and minimized the devastation of the country? For this reason, they have long received overwhelming support from the inhabitants of this continent.
This is why your daughter, who has taken over so many supporters, is now reigning with Oink and Arkham at the apex of that seat, even though she is the youngest.
So, it's a condition for cutting at the heart, but if you are clearly guilty, in this case, of 'mass murder', 'repression of the people', 'secret possession of military power against the country', etc., they say you may be chased for a seat and in some cases you may be directly handed down.
And it is a condition that we can force our hands down, but only if permission is obtained from the majority of Members of Parliament, or from a parent country that is in a position like the guardian of this continent, that is, the King of the Endoresian continent.
... Is that it? Then I can do it, can't I?
"In ordinary times, the blubber cannot freely dispose of sinners in the name of King Endrecia. It is only allowed as an executive of the Alliance. Unless, however, it involves the upper echelons of the country in this way. Pumpkins who are allowed to execute sinners by the King of Endoresia can do so without any problems, provided they are only executed. And being a ready woman, I've already talked to King Endoresia about this one, so I can't rub it in the aftermath."
"I have to say it myself. I'll let go and praise you. So you can assume that I already have a pardon?
"You will. Honestly, I was going to chase you down with my hands one day, but at this point, I was wondering if I could just let the blubber do it the way it is."
"... are you sure you want to kill him on the spot?
"Already with me, the operatives are secretly entering this territory. Even if no clear evidence of guilt can be found, it will be fine if I testify to this distorted state of affairs.... True, my eyes are a pit. I can't believe you haven't noticed how many times I've walked into this territory before."
"Didn't the report come up from the guild?
"You're a local person, mostly. I guess you didn't consider the anomaly an anomaly. That's the same for adventurers from outside territory. You're going to be convinced that's more of a place than the residents are plainly accepting..."
"… the harm of a rapidly growing tissue failure. The only thing I haven't gotten to the end of is"
For example, yes, in the city of Endreccia, as in one of the first "Saltburgh" visits by me and Lue.
In Oink alone, it would be difficult to create an organization that would be fully disciplined on that continent, where the aristocratic system would still remain.
And that's the same on this continent, where the remnants of the former ruling class are still smoking.
I knew you were in a little too much of a hurry, Oink.
"This is where I am now investing in the development of trustworthy people who will be my hands and feet. And the fact that I'm trying to make things easier for you was also aimed at getting you to do what the world used to call a world trip."
"I knew. That's why I keep in touch every time there's something going on here."
"... in a way, this will be a turning point for me. If we cannot make this continent completely democratic at once here, we can also think sufficiently of turning back to a world of war. Arkham is truly a Demon King with that much power."
"As I was saying, what is the weight of the title of 'Demon King'? As far as I'm concerned, I can only imagine myself waiting for the hero in this outfit."
The inheritance of the Demon King is in this world, and this figure applies to the Demon King elephant.
I've certainly had my doubts about that before.
But I didn't even want to take it apart and look into it.
That is spoken out of her mouth now.
"Right...... it would be easy to explain if you had Lue on this occasion, but there is the word 'Genesis' right? It's not a common language in this world, it's only used in turbulent times, in Endoresia and semifinals."
"Heh, so what about 'Divine Slavery'?
"That's a common world perception, isn't it? Think of it as a half-legend, like" Moo Continent "or" Super Ancient Civilization "in the previous world."
Mr. Oink, that's a lot easier to explain.
What were you doing originally? Organize and run politics, and teach well and speak well.
Sounds like he handles a lot of personal skills.
Um, if it's good to show you around, this lady or boy still hasn't.
"Just to break things down and get involved with the Demon King, the semi-final royal family was originally born after the demons who lived in the northern part of Endoresia migrated. And the Demon King, he said, is exactly the same person as God, who should be called the leader, who once made Humans and Elves recognize the existence of the Demon Nation."
"I mean, that or the old humans on this continent are drawing the blood of their demon king faithful, so it's like following a demon king arkham"
"To put it bluntly, you will. All the demons from Endoresia are strong and long-lived, and all the demons of this continent raised by such parents believe in demon kings. You see, it feels like Grandma and Grandpa are so confident."
"Thanks for the always straightforward explanation. Then the more old demon bloodlines around here, the bigger the influence of my appearance."
Hmm, the title Demon King seems to be heavier in this region than I imagined.
... I just don't need two demon kings.
Even if it's heavy, I won't split it up with someone else.
"Very well. Okay, Oink, I'll explain my role in the operation again, okay?
"You're stopping the senators and officials and collaborators gathering at Arkham's, you know."
"You know exactly what I mean"
"In fact, no one can stop it but me."
All right, all right, now some of Arkham's power has been scraped off.
And then I come up with yet another plan to cut out the power, and I secretly execute it.
Well, now we're all set for the last time. Finally, finally.
It was well worth the careful, twitchy erosion from within and out.
Come on, by the time I realized it, your limbs were already broken. I won't be looking forward to seeing what resistance you show now.
As if it were a child the day before Christmas, it was to have that day while keeping it in the chest to do it.
