"... this demon sword, really?

"Yes."

"... definitely"

At present we were listening to General Prism, who had turned back, and General Wooley and his men who had sent him to reinforcements, under strict vigilance, almost without compromising the army.

Initially, I was surprised by the fact that I couldn't get my betan belt back, but if I asked how things were going, I would have to snort.

Strangers have emerged, if they attack it without darkness and engage in hostilities, they could also work with Zilva, which could put them at a disadvantage.

And most importantly, the chief and thinker who leads the demon is the legendary demon called Minotaur.

Fortunately, unlike legends, you speak our language and do not like strife, even though you have taken food from the ruins of their dwellings, even to General Prism, without darklessly attacking General Prism or General Wooly's soldiers.

The extremes took General Aegil as a prisoner until he returned his supplies, but deposited them with the generals to make him trust this one... a pile of demonic swords and legendary weapons.

"... Plus, I don't care about aptitude or anything, it can be used by me. This..."

"Yes, something usually unthinkable, such as handing over such weapons lightly"

"I wonder, however, if for them it's not even enough to take this weapon, or if we should see it as showing sincerity here, and even if the other person is a demon, exchange words for promises. It is up to me to turn to the judgment of the Holy King as a knight who supports the people, as a nobleman."

Yes, I can use this demon sword.

Such weapons have never existed before.

If you remember with your sword, there will be flames.

Perhaps you can create an even bigger flame consciously.

I can tell you that bumping into each other with that demonic army that gives you this weapon lightly isn't very nice.

These generals have never committed a lethargy.

Although the original purpose has not been achieved due to unexpected events, this discovery makes more sense than taking back territory.

"... Hmm. I get the story about the generals. I suppose we should punish ourselves for not being able to accomplish our purpose, but it would be foolish if there were a king who would see this devil's sword and armor and punish us yet"

When I say that, the Prime Minister who was listening with me also nods.

"Ha, I think His Majesty is right. I don't know if I will create or own this unprecedented weapon, but it will be in the greater interest of the future Eneria to reclaim the betan belt, even if it doesn't have to be with its opponents and friendship, leaving room for negotiation"

"Then we must quickly talk to the demonic army and invite them to our Holy Land."

"Yes, there will be some confusion among the people, but there are also many places that have goblins and oaks. If you push it through in that direction, you won't have a problem."

"... Hmm, can't that minotaur spoil your mood? What do you think, Hein? Actually, what about you and Minotaur?

Hain is also a good buddy I've fought the battlefield with since I was young.

I just said a boulder hein on this one, or if I heard the story, I went to the army of that demon to negotiate with a few rides of escort.

As always, daring man.

"Right. As far as I could see and as far as General Minotaur and Deputy General Oak were concerned, my men's control was solid and they treated me politely on the assumption that this one was unfamiliar with the demons. Someone who can do some slander if you do harmful harm here... No, it's a demon. Or if you want to sell a fight, please do it where we're not. He's the one who robbed our dispersed forces of supplies and drove them into inaction, almost without taking their lives."

"... Indeed. I hope you don't mind how far I trust you, but the supplies were actually taken and returned to you after your escape?

I turn my gaze to General Woolley.

"I'm sorry. It is my responsibility, if at all, to take the supplies that His Majesty has deposited with me and to damage the lives of the soldiers that matter"

Yes, they took an operation to separate and isolate the enemy from General Wooley's operation and ensure that it dropped one place at a time, but they poked him there by the demonic army, deprived him of supplies and rendered him incapable of action.

Testimony tells us that they were both hit by two women, but all of them look different, and General Wooley says they were hit by a goblin with menacing powers, and some witnesses.

Troops in the woods say they were hit by snake demons, and perhaps even travelers saw it and got it wrong.

"Well, thanks to General Woolley, we can measure the power of the Demon Army."

"Right. I did commit the malfunction of being deprived of supplies, but I got a chance to know my opponent's power of war. If you welcome the demons without knowing anything, there will always be people who will tell you to take them down or put them under your control."

"As the Chancellor put it, if that happens, my King Eneria capital will be a hell of a painting. There are demons capable of sinking more than 300 people, including General Woolly, with a few goblins. It's great to have the information to prevent it. It's not shameful. General Woolley made no mistake in defending his country with it."

"... thank you"

Before that, I just took this treasure home, and I can undo my lethargy.

"The problem is the Zilva Empire..."

"Right. Because it is only detrimental to continue the war in this situation. Now, in order to invite the Demon Army here, we must hold a truce."

"Hmm. But wouldn't you be wary of suddenly giving up betans? What's more, there's no chance they'll attack us?

Yes, I'd like to make a truce, but it doesn't necessarily mean Zilva will respond.

There is a chance that they will attack this once and for all.

"There, I can't tell you anything, but with the help of the demon army, it's likely."

"... I see you'll let them know how powerful the Demon Army is over there, too?

"Yeah, luckily, we're the only ones who know about this demonic sword and arsenal, and the Demonic Army has no reason to give this treasure to their Zilva opponents. In other words, we have already negotiated, so it would also be possible to work with the Demon Army in case Jilba attacks."

"If so, will our army, working with the Demon Army, gain powerful allies and become closer to each other?"

"Yes, but perhaps Zilva will also respond to the truce. Suddenly a strange army appeared. If you attack without darkness, they will poke you where it hurts. So you won't do that. Over there, too, we got betans. If you can buy me time, I'm sure I've never been over it."

I can tell by talking to the Prime Minister that a ceasefire would be good.

Even if we fail, the Demon Army will be on our side.

... My body is noisy, but would I be convinced if I showed this treasure?

"All right, let's give General Prism, General Woolley, and the General of the Zilva Empire who is in control of Betan a a truce. At the same time, it transfers supplies to the Demon Army as consideration for the liberation of General Aegil, who is captive. And pray for the Sacred Capital of Eneria. Tell the delegates we'll allow up to 100 men to accompany us."

"" Ha!!

Well, me and the Chancellor need to calm down the loud militants.

side: Zilva Empire King Fionha Raiga Zilva Zilva VIII

"Hmm. This should be a truce"

"Right. The situation is too unclear. I have no idea how the demonic army moves. Worst of all, we also need to fight Eneria."

I'm reading a report from Miffy.

Damn, there's gonna be problems from next to next.

But this might be a good story to think about.

I see the report. Did Air come to the same idea, and I support my ceasefire.

"As it stands, we are forcibly sending reinforcements to Betan. But if a truce is achieved, Princess Miffy's brave name will boost morale, and the fact that she has secured Betan will remain, and it will be possible to restore the reinforcements she was forced to send back to their original placement."

"So, there is. Ignore the truce and attack this way and your name will fall all at once. You shouldn't do that as an enalia with many territories. The question is, will you respond to the truce while the betans are taken?"

Yes, the question is whether Eneria will respond to the truce, as things stand, the troops that fell into the ruins withdrew with reinforcements, but with little loss of soldiers.

If you replenish supplies, they could attack you again soon.

"... hopefully, but we have an army of demons. I don't think we can ignore this truce beyond the possibility that we can lay each other in."

Air's right, if you normally think about it, yes.

But we're invading Eneria to take the betan strip.

The barn zone over there is quite profitable, so it is suspicious to let go even in this situation.

"Something, you need to hit your hand here... But what..."

"... it's hard to say, but for the record, I have the hand to send Master Miffy to a ceasefire and to send him to his daughter-in-law in Enalia... I'm sorry, I said too much"

"No, good. Nice hand. I originally sent Miffy to buy time. Though it is the last seat, it is the royal family of Zilva. If you put that out to your daughter-in-law, you can't say Eneria doesn't like it either. But hostages are not enough. The barn zone over there is worth so much, I don't know how much we're going to tie up a truce with Eneria in the future... but the longer it takes, the better for us not to have to split up our troops."

"Yes, but..."

"Hmm. Then let's free the captured Holy Swordsman with the Holy Sword. I feel spared not being able to explore the secrets said to be the Holy Sword, but now it is better to cease. And the demon army will be able to work with Eneria."

"I see, this is the Devil's Sword captured... No. If you're returning the Holy Swordsman to Eneria, you can't take it without combining the dowry with Master Miffy"

"All right, if you want to go to a truce with this plan, take the order directly to Miffy."

"Ha!!

"The place to tie the truce should probably be the Sacred Capital of Eneria. Just in case, Yuki and the mercenaries need an escort. That way, Miffy and the Holy Swordsman will be assassinated by the other militants and the truce will never be broken."

"Roger that!!

In a way, we have to thank the demon army.

Now, if a ceasefire is reached, vigilance for Eneria can be considerably reduced.

I can invest in invading others.

"... Miffy, do your duty as royalty"

side: Tori

I was in a hurry to reach out to all the places involved with Riel.

Even in Sellaria and Lulua, the city made a fuss for a day and became a festival on an extraordinary basis.

Assuming that, we are very busy reporting the current situation to the government building and telling them not to fail to prepare that there is a festival.

I desperately finished contacting them and came back to the hospital......

"I don't know yet...... I wonder if we can all give birth safely...... The children...... Wow..."

Yuki was wandering in the hallway.

"... again?

"Sounds like..."

"... unchanged"

I heard Kaya from the side, and when I turned that way, there was Kaya sighing looking at Yuki.

"... Yuki seems very weak about us and the kids"

"Hey, the only time I saw you in such a hurry was when Cellaria and Lulua"

"But you're happy, aren't you? Because you're so worried about us."

When I say that, they both nod happily.

"But it's time to get wussy"

"Yeah. You're gonna get in the way."

"Right. It's pathetic, but if I hear everyone screaming, it's going to get in the way... Yuki."

The three of us come to the same idea.

"Tori, Riel, Kaya, good job!! But we haven't. Damn, is there anything I can do? Whatever. Is there anything I can do to help everyone?

Yuki talks desperately with her hands on my shoulder.

"Oh, that Yuki, please calm down!?

"Yes, yes, let's calm down"

"... Yuki, go to sleep"

"Huh?

When Kaya performs a sassy sleeping magic, Yuki loses consciousness.

I hold Yuki, who falls.

"Don't push it. We'll do our best for Yuki."

"Let's do this."

"... This is Riel. Don't sleep with Yuki, he's going to everyone"

Yuki sleeps in an empty hospital room just like before, dragging Riel along for two, while she goes to help usher in a new life.

"Hey, ears, don't pull your ears!? Just Yuki!? The only thing you can touch is -!!
