Himajin, Maou no Sugata de Isekai e Tokidoki Cheat na burari Tabi

So we're headed to the castle one foot away.

"Before sundown, we arranged for a transfer around four o'clock, until then Lord Caivon and the others will be at ease at the mansion. Looks like you've been up late lately."

"Did you find out? After all, people think a lot about putting an anxiety element in a city where people live."

"We're talking about keeping old Mackenzie packed in the sorcerer's guild today, and I think it's okay to feel at ease to some extent. Now, if you'll excuse us."

The next day, early in the morning, you and Mr. Stiglia will be heading to the castle.

Ginia apparently walked ahead, but maybe she didn't escape, did she?

"Phew... let's just get ready for costumes too"

"Yeah. I'm the usual dress armor, though. I knew it would be better if I could fight when I had to."

"Then what a demon king look I am already familiar with. Well, I think it would be rude if I didn't look at you this time."

"And Rayce hasn't worn that dress in a long time, has she? A dress I wore at a dinner party at Oink's before."

"Yes. This was actually something tailored when I was living in Winglest, but I didn't get to wear it inside, and if it's a corner,"

Get dressed for your costume and pray that things will work the way this one thinks as you prepare for dinner.

… If destiny is going to make a big move, it must be today.

It doesn't even seem to be soothing somewhere like that, but it's like there's some kind of heartbreak.

I'm apparently not the only one who was annoyed by that feeling, and neither Lace nor Rhue seemed a little more restless than usual.

"Because you don't know what it is, today. Should we take all necessary measures just in case?"

"Right. The other person is the other person. Shall I do everything I can?"

That's how we grant Abilities to Rue and Reyce.

[CarsGift] Activated

Target audience rue [healing of aurora] grant

Target audience reis [recurrence] grant

[Sacrifice] Activated

Target audience reis

Give them everything they can now.

Add strength and healing abilities that are similar to [Life Extreme Enhancement] to Lue.

Reis has a resuscitation insurance policy that will allow him to return to this world again, in case anything happens.

And at the same time, make sure that all the damage she takes comes here.

If it's true, I'd like to put it on both of us, but I can only choose one subject for Raw Hate [Sacrifice].

When that happens, she will take precedence over Rue, who lacks the means to recover.

Finish by explaining the abilities you've given them, and finally grant yourself [Life Strength Extreme].

"... Um. Is Mr. Kai okay? If anything happens..."

"It's okay. The resilience gained by this force is not uniform. 'Cause being slit in the neck won't kill you instantly enough."

"Speaking of which, it was amazing when you were fighting Shun, wasn't it? But don't push it."

"Copy that. I won't push you either. There will be a lot of people at the ball. Maybe we'll split up and be on guard."

I can feel a little more spare because of what I can do now.

As a result, the long waiting period finally came to an end, and after receiving a report that the carriage for the transfer was ready, he boarded a prestigious carriage as if it were a tank to attend the dinner party.

The Royal Castle only stopped at the training grounds when we visited previously. But the dinner party will be held today, which means we will be taken to a huge hall.

A castle that is usually not packed by many people and has only a strong connotation as a symbol.

But only today, many nobles, as well as intellectuals, executives and chiefs of each organization, will be gathered together.

It was mixed with some graceful, floating air from the Ball Dead, as well as tingling tension.

The time is 4: 00 PM. Time for the sun to weaken and move to sunset soon enough.

The open halls were arranged everywhere with doors and windows that seemed like they could make the transition to the garden games as they were, so that even such a shifting look of space could be felt while indoors.

"Wow... that's a great number of people, huh? The size of the event is different when the country is big."

"Right, I've had my first experience so far, too. Awesome."

"Here, Nao, you're going to make a hell of a bomb statement, right?"

Easy to connect venue outside. This... you might want to be a little bit careful.

Looking around the venue, I realized that besides my thoughts, there were also many demonic figures on this continent.

It's the relationship I have with the Demon King Look, or I'm frequently called out to those people... that's what some of them have ties to Alvis, and naturally they catch me.

Of course, Reis, who is also a Demon, is no exception, but fortunately I'm the one next door, so there was no strange person approaching.

... More like a knight from the guard who knew about the martial arts tournament called out more.

As we spend that time, the venue brings together one attendee after another, and the dinner party begins in earnest.

"Looks like you've started playing music, too. It's time for the King and Nao to come."

Then, the area around the other existential entrance, which was not the entrance we used, was paid for, and the surrounding speech was quiet in Russia.

The voice of names and calls doesn't go up. Just quietly that big door opens and everyone pays quiet attention only.

And it was you, Nao, who enters the hall alongside the king.

And as his companion, he was Miss Stiglia and Ginia, who followed him right behind him.

"Usually, though the image of the armor is strong... it's still beautiful, Mr. Stiglia"

"Yeah, right. This may not be left alone by the men in the venue..."

"But you're a celebrity as a knight in the first place. Maybe he's used to going out."

Lue is right, he is dressed in a dress, there is nothing going on, I can feel a definite accustom from his standing behavior, and a lack of gaps as a samurai......

No, I don't know the details. Exactly.

"Still... Ginia, you're dressed as a man, aren't you? That's what happened when I lived in your mansion. And... you look really uncomfortable, don't you?

"Hey, you're coming a little pitiful..."

Ginia has the closest style possible to her usual style of long-haired pant looks, but she still looks very gorgeous as to whether the costume is for the ball.

Hmmm...... so was Oink, but Ginia is also kind of like Tsukasa or something.

"Don't feel a little sorry for me, after all, when I think Grandpa Ken should have been here with you"

"Well... I'll take care of it later, will you?"

"Shall I? Looks like we're finally going to say hello."

The king stands before the throne set in the venue.

There is also a throne next to it that will be for the queen, but there is no way that someone will stand before it.

... Hmm. Speaking of which, isn't that king married?

"Guys, I'm sorry to interrupt your welcome. but from this moment on, I will officially declare the dinner party to be held"

Even though applause would occur for that proclamation, it was still a relationship that was not an absolute monarch, not an avid applause, but to the extent that elegant applause with reduced volume could be heard from around.

Well, that's still the number of people. Though it can be described as a flourish inside.

"... who is now admitted with me? And what does it mean that the person is here now? What is this sudden dinner party? I also understand a lot of things that need not be said now. but I have to tell you more than I am a king?

Speaking in a subtly witty manner, the king feels that he is still wearing the art of entering people's hearts, not making enemies without darkness, not letting them be wary.

And the surroundings were also listening to the word in the way that they probably already knew about your return, Nao, naturally.

"Now Nao, the liberator, has returned to this country after his journey of liberation of the Seven Stars. Lord Stiglia, our leading knight, son of Lord Shezzard and vice-knight captain. And Lord McKenzie, who was absent for convenience today. And finally, after numerous trials and battles with his swordsman from the far semi-final continent, Lord Ginia Landschild, he ran through the Ethereal Star Forest."

Oh, doesn't Ginia have a middle name now? If I'm sure of my memory, I think Arkham had the middle name 'Final'... well, was that his name as a former royalty?

"Nao, you're the most nervous one. Your face is frozen."

"... I didn't dare touch you. That's right. He was just an ordinary man."

Mr. Nao. I don't think he's uncomfortable in a dress because he looks cute, but he's a pant looker, just like Ginia. Both the top and bottom are wrapped in costumes similar to black student clothes... but it is possible that they have been summoned with student clothes and made based on the uniforms of that time...?

"... after this, Nao, I have your speech. But that's where he should talk. I've secured the original purpose, the existence behind the war, and the seven stars."

"... Mr. Kai. I'll be out in the garden just in case."

"I'll keep Nao close to you. Apparently Mr. Stiglia is moving too, so I'm going to the entrance."

"Copy that. I'll... I'll go upstairs and watch the whole thing from the top."

Everyone is sending their gaze in the same direction as if they missed every word you say.

Liberation of the Seven Stars. I was eager to see if that report would be made, now or now.

"- With the support and cooperation of - our journey has been successfully accomplished -"

Looks like he's talking about the touching part. I see no one making any strange moves at this stage.

But, Nao, the venue turned to the next word you said.

"To tell you the truth, I haven't freed the Seven Stars yet."

What I hear leaking is, "What do you mean," "Did you just discover it? 'Didn't you fail to release me?' The voice of doubt. But then he finally...

"The Seven Stars are in this country now. Each seal was successfully taken home."

That's all you hear, there will be surprises, but you will no longer think liberation is a second reading.

But if you were a person who used the power of the Seven Stars... you would move.

As he is, he talks about the strange events he encounters during his journey, and about Yoloki.

Someone who moves behind the war. A man who leaps to push the war forward.

And I also mentioned the arbitrary devotion by the Knights the other day.

"From here on out, I'll talk to you. Nao's talk of 'those who move to gain some benefit from the war' is already inside the country. That's good to see as getting into the Knights. Indeed, war brings less profit. But there is a huge difference between profiting from war and prolonging war, making strife, to profit. I have the King's permission to explore this series of moves."

Some nobles feel the flag color is getting worse as the twist grows on what she speaks.

But it's only a matter of country, and Mr. Stiglia's men, not ours, will seize it. Perhaps the eye-catcher was already on.

"You're not noble. It's moving… the people in each organization…"

You can't go after all of them. But if it just moves, you won't have to worry about it.

Everywhere, you must want to rush that information back to headquarters.

But what if someone goes somewhere so as to avoid a glance at a movement that is obviously different?

... but there is no indication that those people will show up.

Already, Nao, you have a seven-star secure report and you are down this hall.

What if someone were to approach him now?

Hurry up, I'll get out of the hall, too, and head to the holding room he'll be using.

In the hall I looked sideways, massive catches had already begun.

Not necessarily without a human being multiplied by this mess.

I hurried to find the place and knocked and your voice returned looking tired Nao.

"I'm coming in, Nao."

"Mr. Caivon. Sorry, I couldn't even say hello."

"That's a terrible face. Are you nervous about being in the right place?

"Yes. This time, some people will lose their homes in my announcement. I'm the one who pulled the trigger, so I figured it would be a little... difficult."

"Oh, it was a mess inside. But that's not the end of it. I'm heading out of the castle now. Nao, I'll come with you. I still don't know who made the move, but if it must have, we should be on our way. Nao, go to the Sorcerer Guild, where Grandpa Ken is known as your collaborator."

"... right. Let's go. There is a private entrance and exit for servants, shall we get out of there?"

"Roger. If... there's nothing unusual, I'm going to have you kill Yoroki like this. Be prepared."

"... Yes"

Head to the Sorcerer's Guild under the sky, where the sun is setting.

Just like us, we can see people rushing in and in carriages, but they're also moving to share information with their organizations, collaborators, and insiders.

Already, the country itself also perceived their movements, and the figure of a knight stands out in the city as if they knew.

A country that's intelligence based on mutual knowledge… Again, it's a lot of distortion.

"Don't worry, Mr. Caivon. All the people who are moving now are guild officials in this city. It's just... if there's a man on his way to the Sorcerer's Guild right now... he must be the most suspicious."

"I think so. The building itself is protected by Lue's boundaries, so I don't think it's going to be that rare... let's hurry, can we jump off that wall?

"It's Hecha! Sounds like you should go tell him about the roof."

With him, he jumps from the royal castle section, which is higher than the others, straight under the eyes where the aristocratic city spreads.

I didn't know you were going to run around the city with him like this. Really succeeded.

That's how I kept running to roof telling, and I could see a tall tower that could be described as a symbol of the Mage's Guild.

Jumping down, hurrying into the guild, but I don't see anything else unusual.

Everyone only has an operator who carries their own research materials as usual or who talks enthusiastically.

"... no abnormality, looks like it"

"Yeah, sounds like it. Awesome, even though it's dinner day, we're all as always... keen."

"Is that what researchers are for?

Was no one from the Sorcerer's Guild present at this dinner party?

Before his predecessor, Grandpa Ken, caged in his guild, he solemnly...?

"Let's go to Grandpa Ken's, just in case."

"Yes. I hope you're okay, Mr. McKenzie. Alcohol alone, sleeping alone."

"Exactly. I don't think I'm going to do that today.... Probably"

Tell the lady at the reception that we're headed to his lab. But I didn't get back to you.

It seemed like he was writing some paperwork, so I could call him again... ignore him?

"Um, excuse me. I still have business at Mr. McKenzie's lab today. Um!"

"... Nao you. Something's wrong. The paperwork, the letters on it are bullshit."

When a woman who continues to be too unresponsive sees at hand what the hell she is obsessed with, there is only a leap of extremely common text there.

But there she was, distracted, continuing to paint symbols like Mimi had crossed.

"Eh! Excuse me! Somebody come! Something's wrong with me!

"... Nao, we're in a hurry. The people here...... they're all crazy!

People walking around, men eager to talk about something. It looks like they're all just repeating the same behavior.

Is this being manipulated by someone?

Run through the hallway to Grandpa Ken's lab.

And the moment I open the door, the fragrance of ferocious liquor gives me a glare for a moment.

"Mr. Nao! Are you all right?

"Ugh...... yes! Terrible... from the booze tree to nothing..."

The plants that Grandpa Ken was cultivating were vandalized, and... in a separate room that was isolating Yoroki from the Seven Stars, the sight that seemed over the glass was...

"Grandpa Ken!

"Mr. McKenzie!

Enter the room in a hurry. And... I speak to Grandpa Ken, who is being pasted on the wall and slowly unconscious.

No response...... what happened? Has he broken in so far?

Hurry up and change your abilities so that Grandpa Ken will have a healing effect on my [Life Extreme Enhancement] and see how it goes.

I have a pulse. I also breathe. He seems to be alive...

"Nao, I need you to take a look at the seven-star sealed room."

"Yes!"

"This one... what is this?"

And I turn to the black mass that's supposed to be in this room.

But there's red and black blood and black fragments. And only pieces of meat mixed with it.

Someone killed him? Stupid, there's a line up here in the first place for Lue. Isn't it possible for outsiders to get in?

"... no way, among those involved?

"No... Gu, Kai...?

"Grandpa Ken! What happened! The whole guild was manipulated by something!

"Lord Nao... where?

"The next room now. I sent him to Seven Stars."

"Hmm, well... apparently, Noona and the others were watching sweetly. Non is more conscious... but more willing."

At that moment, the door of the room closes and the crest floats all over the room.

"Let me isolate the Lord. Lord Lue's bonds are torn apart."

"Nah...... Grandpa Ken. You...... Could it be"

"Um. I'm sorry, but I'm already with Yoroki. I don't know what to say, it's more of a sudden change of heart than being manipulated. Do you want to kill Noon?

"... you're not willing to resist any more, are you? Then put the cane down. Let me keep it sealed."

"Will it still be? Um, I'm sorry, it's Kai. It's a terrible force. I didn't expect to fully master people's hearts and minds. Nor is there any guilt in Non."

"... it's not even brainwashing. Can you really betray us as we are?"

Seal Grandpa Ken immediately with a black mass and keep your head out so that you can only breathe.

... Since when. Since when was Grandpa Ken under Yoroki's control?

It was sweet and watchful. Assuming it's a divine power.

Have I ever succumbed to the charm of Masato myself?

"Lue's Connection... Hate, I'm not antagonizing Lue's power."

With all my might, I wave an opposing sword down the door.

Then, with the sound of massive amounts of glass broken at a time, the door junction and the door its object are smashed and scattered.

As I rushed straight to the next room, I saw exactly how Nao was now being taken in by a shapeless, immaterial, poorly understood red and black pocket.

"Huh! Yoloki! You!"

'... faster than I imagined. Is Stopping a Fail?'

Even if I cut it off, it only makes me look like I cut the fog.

Apparently, physical attacks are ineffective.

"... you... since when? How long have you been manipulating Grandpa Ken?

'Well, I wonder when. Because it's a raw hate, unconscious force to work. Most of all, it only works with highly sensitive surgeons. It was a shame in that sense, I couldn't rule you or that elf's daughter.'

You think it's not manipulative or manipulative? Because... if I was bad, I might have been affected since the first time I confronted you.

Wave your sword again, now Nao. Scatter your arms grabbing you.

Then you just couldn't keep catching me, Nao, you crashed to the floor.

"Nao, put up your sword."

"Ku...... yes!

Then the moment Yoloki saw his sword, he trembled so loud that he could see it, and began to blurt as if he were responding to something.

"You... you even gave me that power"

"Was it unexpected? Nao, I'll make a gap. Tap all at once"

"Okay. Be careful, if you touch your body directly, your body will stop moving."

The damage doesn't go through, but apparently the attack can keep the distance apart.

We should be able to deal with it as long as it takes. But...

'... shall we also wait for the next opportunity? Apparently, Demon Man, you are so sweet. I can see you care about the damage to your surroundings'

Return silently.

It's a star. If we fight with all our might here, it will be a form of involving a large number of humans who are still in the Alliance.

"Go after me."

"... Running away? The Seven Stars left here are going to kill you soon."

'... that would be good too. There's nothing you can do. Too weak for a raw hate bargaining material'

The red jaw begins to form again and disappears as it is sucked into the ceiling.

But that was the time. As if he had been forced to bathe a strong wind from above, the red fog began to spread so that it could be slammed to the floor, and a voice of amazement would rise.

'Nah...... stupid...... thwarted me!?

Then the door of the room opened, and I said angry mind--

"Nao, this is what happened when I thought you and Kai-kun weren't here. It was sweet, I knew I should have killed everything first."

"Lue!"

"Now's a good time, make it stop! Nao, come on!

"Yes!

The fog spreading on the floor begins to spread further around so as to show the last resistance.

However, it no longer seemed possible to expand into the hallway because all the gaps in the room were blocked by Lyue.

The sound of the knife being pulled out of the sheath is heard from behind, and along with it magically creates a wall around Yoloki.

And the next moment...

"... Huh?

"… this is the stop"

"Oh, yeah. This is your last move."

Precisely, from where my heart was, a knife was popping out.

"Yoroki... this schemer..."
