"But there's a lot of victims between 300 and 400. Couldn't you have reported it before the damage got bigger?

"Also, sorry! Apparently, this incident had been thoroughly covered up in the shadows, delaying access to information!

The demon said as he panicked. Cover-up, huh? The mastermind in this case seems quite cautious in character. And given the damage, multiple offenders are likely.

"Well, then there's no choice. Thank you for reporting. You may step back."

"Ha!"

The demon bowed his head deeply and left the great hall.

"Something's going on in human territory."

"But for us demons, it's only a fire across the shore. You'll have no problem leaving me alone."

Peta and Henri say with a swallowing face. No, this is never a fire across the shore or anything like that. This is a huge event to take the King's Operation Image Up a step forward! I never stood up. [M]

"Master Ute, what are you going to do?

Ask by stopping Peta from shuffling her cards.

"From now on, we'll find out who did this disappearance."

"" What!? "

The two voiced surprises at the same time. Incidentally, the case name is something I just thought about.

"Dear Ute, I understand your disrespect and offer you my opinion, but where we have captured the culprit in this case, we have no interest whatsoever. On the contrary, is this case rather inconvenient for Master Euto, who will eventually destroy man?

…………

Weird sweat runs down my back. If you consider the position of the king, Henri is certainly right. I don't know what to do, give me some excuse...

"... Henri, I told you before. The rest of us want to hear as many human screams as possible when we destroy humans. Yes, humans are precious bait for the rest. It's unpleasant to be taken away from that bait."

"I see. Boulders, Master Ute, you had such an in-depth idea. Please forgive my shallow thoughts"

Me in a heartbeat. I don't think you can fool around with such excuses every time.

"So from now on, Master Ute is headed for human territory?

"That's a quick count. Whatever it is, the human realm is vast, and even if you're looking for the killer in the dark clouds, it just takes time for mischief. So Henri needs a favor."

"Yes, tell me what it is"

"Send 500 demons of the champion's army to the human realm to investigate areas where there are many victims. There's a good chance the killers will show up there. I'd never go over it if I could identify the killer, but don't ever let him go in deep. You don't have an ex or a kid to hide from you."

"Ha. Whatever Yout says."

Of course I'm not leaving it to the demons alone. I'll use [Chiriko] to find out as much as I can. Maybe we'll be lucky to discover the killer.

Even so, what the hell are the killers like? People who can use spells, wild demons who don't belong to the King's Army, or...

The next day. Henri came into the great hall as I sat on the throne looking around using [Chili Eye].

"Dear Yout. Now we've narrowed down the area where there are so many victims."

Hurry!?

What, you're done already!? It's only been a day since then, hasn't it?!? I thought it would take at least a week!

"... didn't you make the demons quite impose?

"There is no such thing. I just said," If you decide I'm out of hand, you can hurt yourself without question. "

Seriously. You've decided you can't do that. Well, I've never been there before.

"Master Ute, this way please"

Henri has offered me a piece of paper. That was like a map of human territory. There are places with red ○ on the south, west and east sides, respectively. These three would mean areas where there are particularly many victims out there. There are also 1 numbers in the western ○, 2 in the south and 3 in the east.

"Does this number indicate the order in which there are many victims?

"Exactly."

Does that mean there are many victims in order west, south and east? Since there is quite a distance between ○ and ○, it can be said that it is almost certain that it is a multiple offender. The three of us, or more, are working on this case.

"But it didn't get to the point of identifying the killer. We apologize for not meeting your expectations."

"No, enough is enough. I told you not to go in deep. Tell the demons you've done well."

"Yes, I did. The devils will tremble with joy."

And for what purpose do the killers imitate this...? No, I'll think about that later. To avoid any further casualties, the first prerequisite is to capture the culprits. If you've narrowed it down to this point, it looks like you should head out directly rather than looking for it in [Chiriko]. There are limits to the information you can get from sight alone.

"Excuse me! I hear you've got a star where the killer's about to come out!

Peta came into the big hall jumping a little.

"Does that mean that Master Ute is going to be human?

"... um"

I lifted my hips quietly from the throne.

"From now on, the rest will go to human territory. Let's start by hitting the search from the west with the most victims."

"Yes, yes! Let me come with you!

"Dear Yout, I will also offer you"

Henri and Peta offered to accompany us. I do feel pretty comfortable with these two together......

"No, I'll have you waiting at the castle."

"" What!? "

The two raised their voices at the same time. You're scared if you take these two to human territory, they're going to destroy one or two villages at a time. Especially since Peta has a priori. If you're trying to help a human being but you do harm to a human being, it's the end of the line.

"It is not desirable to have a situation where there will be no remnants and no demons in King's Castle. It's not like the angels aren't attacking again. I need you to guard this castle while the rest of you are away."

"But Master Ute! Isn't it dangerous for you to go to human territory alone, beyond knowing the full extent of the enemy……!?"

You're still worried. Henri is. Well, I don't know how Henri feels.

"Right. Let's go to human territory with Lina."

"With Yout's sister...?

Don't worry, Lina won't destroy the village. Lina will also want to breathe human airspace in a while.

"Well, I'm a little sorry I can't help you, but I can't help you if you order me to."

"Hey, please let us know as soon as you need anything!

"Uhm."

Thus I went with Lina to the realm of man in order to find the culprit of the "disappearance of souls."
