Hyaku Ma No Aruji

- Today's Sword Emperor crusades serpents, he said. Poor thing, you're a lot of monster ticks, too, but he was more monstrous. Wherever you go, it's your luck that went wild...!

"Didn't you think of anything really rude right now?

"No, not at all"

[Sword Emperor] Elma said to Melea pointing her mouth as she hand-paid her moist black hair.

If you look closely, you have a little sweat seeping into your white skin because you've carried a serpent this far, and the sharp beauty of your time goes hand in hand with an indescribable hue.

The people of Lemuse walking around were also in love with Elma in a double sense, overlapping the huge serpent with the fact that he was grabbing it.

Seeing such an elma, Merea of the day whistled deliberately to continue the words even further.

"So, what's that?

"Oh, I've been finishing up with a request. I hear this red phosphorous serpent (Carl Necca) crept into the realm of Lemuse, scattering livestock and causing problems."

"It's a big day, Elma's Demon Crusade."

"I'm not specializing in monster crusades. It's not like I want to crusade you... Well, that's the request for this one, so there's something I can't do. It's too late to get your hands on people."

I cheeked like Elma was in trouble.

"Anyway, you're good at rough work, even for me. Sometimes that golden deceased just built a Sherwood Chamber of Commerce branch next to Startree Castle, and I get this kind of work around from there. The Lemuse soldiers are naturally asked to do this kind of work, too, but it's still a busy time for each other, so it can't be dealt with there or it comes out. Those golden deceased laid eyes around it. If you make a request, it will help the fundraising squad, and it will eventually lead to the maintenance of law and order in Lemuse."

"Yeah, I think that's a good thing in itself."

Merea nodded lightly, but immediately continued her words.

"But I've been thinking about it again lately."

Merea suddenly wandered after she had connected her words and began to tremble.

Then, this time, he gave his face momentum and said it away with a slightly protested stained voice.

"Something isn't too much for everyone!? I'm here!? Huh? I'm starting to feel like I don't need it!!"

The eye area was slightly moist and a brilliant representation of its indescribable nasty.

"What a bunch of clever guys!!"

Melea noticed that her people were beginning to adapt to life in Remusse at an approximate time, and was rather feeling as though she was putting it down.

It was also occasional these days to remember a little remorse there.

◆ ◆ ◆

When the battle is over, the actions of this Union of Demon Kings (Meer-Nesaiah) become more plain than you think.

Plain, but most importantly.

In other words - it's a lot of 'bottom preparation' to act on.

To this end, as things stand, the Union of Demon Kings was divided into three squads.

I. Funding squad.

Focusing on Shaw, members who trade and run to finance in different ways. It is, so to speak, a squad that manages the wallets of the Union of Demon Kings.

Anything these days seems to be going outside and even collecting ore and herbs because, for the first time, there was a glimpse of life in Lemuse.

Of course, what you've been collecting is basically a sale.

- My hands are fast after a whole lot.

As long as Shaw was leading, Melea seriously thought that no mistake would happen first.

The gleaming grin of the Golden Deceased resurrected in his brain.

And two, the information-gathering team.

Actually, this might be the busiest place so far.

We have a lot to do.

Otherwise, this was also the nucleus of the actions of the Union of Demon Kings.

It was the main role of this information-gathering squad to gather information from each region for Merea's grandiose, 'If there are other demon kings, and they seek salvation, reach out there', then the great guiding principles all the demon kings endorsed.

In addition, the Seven Imperial Instruments were revealed at the end of the earlier battle.

The information is also collected in parallel.

Only with regard to the Seven Imperial Instruments, Elma in particular belonged to this squad as well, but Elma felt moderately involved because of her simultaneous affiliation with the third squad described later.

Elma was Elma and wasn't good at that kind of detailed work.

"If you are around, the material will go away and the work efficiency will be reduced..." is the conversation of the crew.

The information-gathering squad also includes Lilium, who is enrolled in the school of Aeoth and has only a proven track record and curiosity about learning.

So far, she was like the head of this squad.

And finally, the external combat squad.

It is called the 'Practical Troop'. It was a practice - it was also a real battle.

"I'm in the practice squad for once, but so far I haven't been able to practice anything in particular..."

"In your case, your position as head of the team is more important than your position as a member of the team. Given the combination around it, isn't it the only way? There is also Mariza's own education (curriculum). - The maid educated her husband again."

"It's really pictorially that one, isn't it?... Say it yourself and feel sorry for me!

Melea covered her face with both hands and raised her voice.

"Calm down, idiot"

Seeing such a melea wolf, Elma steps closer to melea before poking her head small.

"Guru...... Well, the lack of a curtain for me in that part means that's all we're good at, and that's fine.

But I still don't think I'm going to participate properly in the "action in action." Not in practice - especially when it comes to 'in action'. "

External combat.

Naturally, if it's possible, it better not be.

But...

- This, 'not yet' will be necessary.

Save the Demon King first.

After that, change the meaning of the name Demon King.

At that previous stage - we've already had a fight.

What Merea is trying to do is idealistic, but she never meant to be putting all her thoughts into a fluffy ideal.

Melea knew both, ideal and real.

Either way, it's probably going to take some serious effort to change the meaning of the name Demon King.

And time.

It is still uncertain how the meaning of the name Demon King can be changed to something better.

- Save the world? Help the mourning people? For example, suppress a disaster?

Save the world. What an abstract. Whatever that is, it is difficult to say that it is necessarily a good thing in itself with regard to the second.

Because by helping a people somewhere in it, another people may be condemned.

The fact that it is yet another justice to conflict with someone's justice was that it remains in these times of herd eloquence.

In contrast, there is still hope in suppressing disasters. - If that is truly a natural disaster.

- When I come up with it, I don't have a kiri.

I knew this would happen, and yet Merea decided to go that way.

Probably a lot of people would laugh this way.

It's impossible to walk through it, he said.

I know.

- That is why we must always think about it.

Sooner or later, there comes a time when you actually have to move.

I'm the one making the decision then.

Perhaps even when you have to make a weighty decision.

Still,

- Stop thinking and go down the path determined by the will of Mizu rather than just being flushed by the times.

Melea and that scares me.

But the presence of the companions following me was supporting Merea's back.

And after making that decision, it's actually the practice unit, the external combat squadron, that moves -

- "Demon King's Sword (Maane Emery)".

Merea spinned the name in her heart.

◆ ◆ ◆

These three squads, which are now there, already had a common name.

One of the demon kings, who likes to name it, decided three names based on a motif.

Fundraising Squad - "Demon King's Purse (Meiane Listal)".

Information-gathering squad - "Knowledge of the Demon King (Mearne Lazras)".

External Combat Squad - Demon King's Sword (Meiane Emery).

When actually calling it, it is often referred to as "Purse (Listal)", "Knowledge (Lazlus)" and "Sword (Emery)" respectively.

"Anyway, for the time being, I'm going to be part of the Sword. I don't have enough people. The truth is, as far as I'm concerned, I always want to be on the front line."

"Oh.... but there seems to be a lot of the ones that I forgive as the only ones right now, but there will be just as many that I worry about in my heart. You're definitely the strongest man in this demon king group, but that's not always a relief. - Don't forget your sense of being long."

"- Yeah."

To Elma's serious allegations, Melea honestly returned a nod.

Having seen that nod, Elma, after exhaling with her little nose, decided to cut the story there for a moment and cut the topic out of another direction again.

"But in fact, it is we, the Demon King's Sword (Meiane-Emery), who are exposed most externally and subject to every 'evaluation'. In that perspective, it's probably the first thing you need to do to get on the front line and act, which is also a symbol of this whole group. We have to be careful what we do."

The Demon Kings, who belong to the current Sword (Emery), excel in hands-on behavior, including combat skills, including Merea, but now that they have only come to Remusse for a week and a little while, the situation continues for each of them to work out.

But every time the demon kings of Wallet (Listar) and Knowledge (Lazras) purchase information from now on, they will be busy moving.

Feeling such a close feeling of certainty, Elma once again gave thought to the position of Sword (Emery).

Then the words fly in a slightly disfigured voice to Elma, who tried to delay her thoughts.

"Well, now's the time to fight. What a noisy name, but I hope we can all turn it into something more serene"

Melea said so with her hands behind her head.

Shortly after spinning so, however, sharp light once again dwelt in red eyes.

As it was, Merea put the following words on her tongue.

"But now - I have to protect you. I'm breaking up there, too. Not that I don't have hope, but I've seen a lot of people fail with it."

"... oh"

Elma nodded heavily at the words that went on.

Sword.

It is also a shield at the same time. It's a tool to protect.

Elma also knew what it meant when the names of the two tools coexisted.

◆ ◆ ◆

Then for a while, the two walked silently through the streets of Lemuse.

After a long period of walking with curiosity and strange gaze directed at the people of Lemuse, Elma finally raised her voice more.

"Anyway, you don't have to be in such a hurry. That's fine as long as you stand in the middle of us. You can leave the chores around."

"Hey, I want to try a lot on my own.... but not as adaptable as everyone else!!"

"You're like the first ancient man to come down to the city from the d countryside in the first place..."

"That's a lot of mixing..."

"Because of being raised by the English Spirit, values are ancient people's, and it's like fossils anymore at a time when I've never been down from that Lindholm Spiritual Mountain since I was born..."

……

When Elma said so, she began to snuggle her fingers at the artistic craftsmanship that Melea had crouched into the white stone alley and engraved there. - It seemed like a bully.

"Fossils..."

"Oh, hey..."

"No, I'm not wrong..."

It's never all bad.

What you see. Everything you see shines.

Seeing, hearing and touching new things is all a comforting stimulus.

But just when I realize that there is a lack of general common sense, it also gets somewhat meticulous.

In the end, there was only such a lack of common sense regarding all the studies being coached by Marisa, which is why it takes extra effort.

"Melea does the technique, the combat technique, and then the knowledge and experience in the pointy direction is skewed. You're pushing your way through that, too, to the point where you think normal knowledge is missing for that matter. I think it's a good thing to be proud of yourself at a time when you go around bookstores around the world and you don't have a record, you know, lost knowledge of surgical theory, technology, that sort of thing in your head and body. - If the place is a place, you're like a treasure."

Elma praised Melea, even though she was aware that the direction was becoming slightly uneven.

It is up to me that I have also become familiar with ways to invigorate Melea, who often takes the opportunity of not being able to do 'normal things' lately.

"Really...?

"Oh, it's true"

Merea was surprisingly slight.

"That's why I'm going back to the castle for one second"

"Something's awesome. I feel like I've been busted talking to a thrower. - Well, no."

Melea was Melea, and she recovered quickly.

"So, what do you do?

Towards Melea, who stood still, Elma asked, pointing her jaw toward Startree Castle.

"I'll walk a little longer and then I'll go home. I'll be imprisoned by Mariza when I get home now."

Elma grinned bitterly when she saw Melea shaking her body and spinning it not as a joke.

"I take a good look..."

"Yeah......"

They then joined hands gently before breaking up.

And Merea walked again throughout the city of Lemuse, so that they could be swallowed up.
