Hyaku Ma No Aruji

145 words: "The more you play with fire, the better"

Shaw walked off about half the way to Lemuse Royal Castle, and then, uh, found something in the crowd that bothered him in his sight.

Ring streets of Lemuse bustling with people. There are two shadows that fall through that gap.

I don't know anyone else.

But oddly enough, those two figures attracted Shaw's gaze.

The way you walk and avoid people stinks.

Shaw has a somewhat special experience.

I don't want to brag about it so much, it's an experience.

But the experience whistled at the two shadows.

Shaw chewed his toes toward those two figures, conscious of keeping his gait intact and not becoming as unnatural as possible.

When rinsed with flowing motion, the hedge is sewn and approached.

The shadows approaching from the other side walk towards themselves as well.

And finally, it was wrong.

"Hey, there blonde brother"

Shaw didn't doubt it was about him.

That's about it, I felt the obvious gaze from the beginning.

"Yes, what is it"

"I'd like to ask you a few questions about the road."

Young, man voice. It's more of a boy's voice than a youth.

"Do you know which is Star Tree Castle? I wonder if one of the castles you see by that big tree is that."

He has two belts wrapped around his waist and three small flax bags wrapped around his belt.

Four rings on elongated fingers.

The redhead, slightly darker than Lilium's, had only been stretched for a long time in one room with horizontal hair and had been knitted three nicely.

Small, skinny, but overall flashy.

"Oh, if it's Startree Castle, over there"

Shaw pointed to 'Lemuse Royal Castle'.

"That's the castle over there. Okay, thanks."

That's what the boy says, poking the big guy on the side with his elbow and then walking out.

The big man walked out behind him with a loose kimono hem.

"Ah, blonde brother"

Then, as the little boy remembered, he looked back at Shaw and said:

"Do you know if it's true that there are rumors that the Demon King is gathered at a place called StarTree Castle?

Shaw replied with a pale and refreshing smile, without looking like he had moved on to the words.

"Yeah, I hear so."

"Actually, wouldn't your brother be one of those demon kings?

"Come on, what do you think"

"That's an interesting answer, brother. Even though" yes "or" no "is the only possible question."

"I like what you've included, me."

"Haha, I hope that doesn't lead to your ruin"

"Absolutely."

Shaw said so with a smile on his face,

"Okay, I'm in this"

"- Yeah, thanks, brother"

"You're welcome."

I cut my gaze off from the boy and the big guy and walked out again.

◆ ◆ ◆

Then after walking down the street for a while, Shaw stops walking perfectly when it falls short of the spilled tea shop.

I've been daring to change course since I met just about two people. As far away from the Lemuse Royal Castle.

Shaw lay his back on the outer wall of the brick-made tea shop and, in large part, reached for his nostalgia.

"Absolutely, it seems to be a bad habit."

Shaw took the 'wallet not his own' out of his nostalgia and laughed like a prank.

Then make sure 'my wallet' is gone and change that grin for even more fun.

"But it's still sweet"

Shaw looks up at the Lemuse Royal Castle by the great star tree with his back behind the wall of the tea shop.

For a few seconds I watched the royal castle soar beneath the pale sky and finally cut my gaze.

"You have to play as much fire as you do. 'Cause' he 'is sweet, but not as whimsical as I am. -' I hope that doesn't lead to your ruin '"

As he missed his wallet, which was not his own, Shaw began walking towards the Royal Castle of Lemuse again.

Where is that face, it was fun.

◆ ◆ ◆

Merea had a meeting with Harsim even after she broke up with her friends.

"The aim of a pirate city - if you're strong, you should make it clear where Mooseg's aim is"

"I don't think winning Virgilia was my ultimate goal. We should assume that it was done for a great purpose."

Hearing Harsim's words, Melea went off with a strange face.

"What's the big purpose? Celias' belly didn't feel like he'd noticed Sisalis' intervention from the beginning."

"If so, don't disappear the line of restraint on Sisalis"

"Rather, then I don't know extra. You said Virgilia didn't have much strategic value."

"That's right. - If it's on the premise of attacking Lemuse."

The way Harsim catches on, Merea puts her neck up.

"Aim not remusse?

"It's possible. And Mooseg may not have intended to restrain Sisalis' in Virginia '-"

"I was interested in Sisalis himself from the beginning"

"That's right. With that premise, it means a lot to acquire a port town called Virgilia"

……

Upon hearing the explanation, Merea somehow understood what Harsim was trying to say.

"No way, is Mooseg going to circle the eastern continent along the sea and attack the southern continent"

"I don't think it's a very strategic action. But I wouldn't do it if I were a moozeg. Especially lately, there has been an increase in the number of people who have done it before, but it has been overwhelming and radical. And suppose we get the southern continent - Saisaris, we're in danger at once."

It will be sandwiched between the north and south, at both ends by the enemy nations.

"In addition, there is a chance that the eastern harbour of the eastern tip of the continent, which you will earn for the Sisalis offensive, will be filled with battle power."

"That would be a hassle."

"So I'm going to make a big move here once."

Harsim said hand in hand in front of his face as he leaned forward and put his elbows on both knees.

"Stop the Port Town Occupation of Mooseg. There is a slight distance from here to the eastern edge of the eastern continent, but also the task of forming alliances with the countries on the road, once we send troops to the eastern edge"

"Can you stop Mooseg"

"... I don't know"

Harsim vented honestly.

"The Three Kingdoms cannot afford to send troops as they stand. The Kingdom of Kushana in Mulan in particular is the closest distance from Mouzeg. Spin your troops on the north side, so do your best."

"What about the Kirishikas?

"You're turning your men to cover the Kingdom of Kushana."

Harsim shrugged her shoulders and smiled bitterly, "Well, this is reality," he said.

"The easiest thing to move right now is the lemuse. We have no choice but to move around in restraint against the Mooseg leader or to strengthen the anti-Mooseg tie."

"What do we do?"

Merea was suggesting to Harsim in the dark.

I was wondering if you could use the Demon King to send soldiers to the eastern end of it.

"Don't you get your hands on me this time"

But Harsim shook his head sideways as a fortitude.

"This dispatch will be done publicly. That's why you can't take the Demon King's hand."

Merea somehow guessed what Harsim was going to say.

"Already once, Lemuse has relied on the Demon Kings. Of course, I wouldn't hesitate to borrow your help if it could be a big fight, but when I drive you all the way to these little things, the soldiers don't grow up. Besides, it also becomes a spark of distrust of the people's own country's power of war. - Lemuse has to be strong even then."

Melea knew it was exactly the same idea as we had.

If one relies too much on one, the unity between the Demon King and Lemuse now looses.

"Besides, I guess you guys have something to do. I don't know when Mooseg will attack again. Exchange what needs to be a priority right now."

Hersim went on to say.

"Destroying Mooseg won't be your top priority."

That's right.

That is not the ultimate purpose of Merea.

- Save the demon king first.

Reach out to the abused demon kings everywhere before the moozeg moves.

The sooner the better.

Rather, it has to be quick.

"If anything, beg for help immediately. If we crumble, we'll lose your place. I will not imitate a country by my own will."

"Oh, do that. - Then we don't have our hands on it yet."

Merea said looking straight at Harsim with red eyes.

"Sweet for your words, Hersim"

"Oh."

"But if you need anything, say it right away"

"I know."

Harsim smiled bitterly and nodded.

"By the way, have you decided where to go next?

"No, I'm going to decide. We need to get back to Startree Castle and hear from Lilium."

"Right."

So Harsim sat deeply in the chair without the strength of his body.

I shake off thoughts that bother my head, and it's like I'm resting.

"It's only my proper idea, but how about" Iaus "?

"Of that academic city?

"Yes."

"Lillium and you were talking about not hiding the Demon King to remain politically neutral."

Because of that kind of air, Lilium was also kicked out of Aios again. That's what I heard.

"That's right. I'm not saying that the breeze is gone. But I think Aios is a good option, simply to get information. That's the treasure trove of information. Especially when old books are stored in abundance. Information about the Seven Imperials and the Demon King itself may also be newly purchased."

"-But," Harsim added.

"Indeed you are right, it is exclusive to the very existence of a demon king. If we find out who we are, we could be in trouble."

"Like someone else, sneak in good," he said?

"It's just a plan. If you have more specific information, like Virginia's Enchanted Queen, you should give it priority. - Either way, if you're going, now's the time."

Huh, Harsim said it again with a serious face.

"Your presence now blows into the world. Your presence in Virginia has begun to spread everywhere by the art enthusiasts who lived there."

"There are pros and cons to that, too."

"Exactly."

And where the two of them nodded, the door between them accidentally made a cone noise.

Then a voice sounds from the outside.

Your Majesty, the Lilium of the Union of Demon Kings is here.

To the voices from the outside, Merea and Harsim looked at each other.

"I don't mind, let me in"

When Harsim gives permission, the door between the glances slowly opens.

Beyond that door appeared a girl with long red hair.
