Demon King Castle in the Demonic Nation 'Demon Nation' located in the northern region.
"Demon King, Bartos was defeated by the brave after Resonas."
"Surely Bartos was the one who entrusted the south region, Leggias?
"Yes, it is. What will you do, Demon King? The western region, which we left to Resonas, has yet to decide who will succeed us?
"Then withdraw all demons once in the land of man"
"All... Do you have a demon tribe?
"That's right. Didn't you hear me? Don't make me say the same thing twice, Regis."
"I also apologize, Demon King... for giving orders to all demons immediately to retreat from the land of man"
"Uhm. And I forbid you to attack the land of man until my seniors say yes. You want this, too?
"Ha! Demon King!
A few days later, the demons suddenly disappeared from the land of man.
Then...
A further month has passed.
Uh-huh.
A certain human city.
"The demons have suddenly disappeared for another month..."
"Well... rumor has it he withdrew for fear of the power of the brave men..."
"I wonder..."
"I really hope so..."
The demons disappeared, but the anxiety from the people never disappeared.
That would be the case.
Rumors of the demon king's resurrection spread to the people, and then the demons attacked the land of man for about three months.
Five countries perished just in the meantime being confirmed.
The three Powers themselves did not perish in boulders, but so did a number of cities and villages.
"See? Next time the demons attack, we'll..."
"Well, let's not talk about that anymore..."
"Oh......"
It's not just the city here.
Such anxiety was heard in every city and village.
I don't think it's a comforting situation to have a brave man.
Uh-huh.
"Princess, it still seems true that the demons have disappeared from the land of man. What will you do now?
"To the country, I really want to go back to the kingdom of Illegalia... but I still can't do that"
A month had passed since Maribel escaped from the Kingdom of Illegalia.
At the time, lost consciousness, Maribel woke up in a running carriage.
Maribel wasn't as calm then as she is now.
"Nevertheless... what are the demons thinking..."
It was a week after Maribel left the Kingdom of Illegalia that she first heard rumors that the demons had suddenly disappeared from the land of man.
"It's... I don't even know..."
"Right...... let's keep an eye on the situation now anyway...... unfortunately for me right now I can't do anything about going right back to the kingdom of Ilgaria...... pity......"
The last Maribel to bite her lips off.
"That's not true, Princess!
"Yes!
"It's with us that we can't do anything. Don't be in a hurry... you'll have your chance, princess."
Three escorts quickly returned the words to Maribel.
"Right... Grandpa said it too, no rush, heh."
Maribel laughed small with a slightly nostalgic look.
"Speaking of which, how are things in the three powers?
"No, we haven't had any announcements like this yet for all three major countries"
"Then... the demons withdrew in fear of the power of the brave men..."
"It must be just a rumor."
If, indeed, the demons were afraid of the power of the brave men to withdraw, Maribel thought the three powers should have announced immediately.
The demons retreated in fear of the brave men of our country.
and so on to a large extent.
"Then there are rumors that even the brave men were struggling with the demons..."
"It must be true. Every brave man would have defended his country, so it seemed to be the best he could do."
"So you still mean the demons withdrew intentionally, right?
"That will happen... I have no idea what the devils intend..."
"I only have a bad feeling..."
Maribel and the others were lurking in the city of a certain country and watching what was happening, gathering information about the Demons and the Three Powers.
