At noon one day, off the boulevard of the Kingdom of Symphonia, the grocery store had the split of Alice, the shopkeeper, and the figure of Illis, his best friend.

"… I have something to deal with as soon as possible"

"... something?" From a stick to a stick. "

Being Isis' subordinate, Alice brews tea and places it on a wooden counter as she tilts her neck at what Iris has been asking with a serious look, which she spends more time in her castle during the day.

"I'm talking about Isis' subordination. Ideally, I'd like five more... but I know it's hard."

"... ha, so?

"But one must be secured as soon as possible. You got any good athletes?

"Oh, so come to me...... no, why is there another one? At the moment, this doesn't mean we have a decentralized role, does it?

Isis is feared from all over the world because of the magic of death, even though it tends to improve, and he rarely does anything as the Six Kings.

With the exception of the global event for the Festival of the Brave, there is at most an annual renewal of the mining rights of the gems, or the Saidich Magic Fixtures Chamber with respect to the Ore of the Demonic Crystal… to the extent that it deals with Chromeaina.

And at the same time, it means that the subordinate, Iris, doesn't have that much work either. In fact, Iris is basically only doing things like training or being Isis' talker.

So it shouldn't mean I'm understaffed...

"On my own... 'It doesn't look good'"

"... yeah? Uh, what?

"So it doesn't look good. Look, I'm under Isis's command. In other words, we will attend Brave Men's Festival and other occasions together with Isis."

"Right."

"In doing so, Dear Isis walking in front, I will not look good following you! I want the two of us to line up slightly behind Isis."

"... what is it? I don't care if they suddenly talk about this other world..."

Listening to the reason for seeking another subordination, which Illis spoke forcefully of, Alice sighed with a heartbroken look.

"Speaking of which, you've always cared that Iris looked like that."

"Will appearance matter? It also leads to the character of Isis… Furthermore, according to the information you have grasped," there will be a festival in the divine world soon ". If so, I want to have it ready by then"

"I mean, I grabbed it, Khlo told me... ha, I don't care personally..."

"Please, the Great Phantom King, Lady No-Face"

"Stop, whoa!? All right, all right... I'll work with you."

"Uhm, that helps...... you can use this hand"

"Seriously, won't you stop? Goosebumps suck, 'cause I'm really going to throw up..."

Iris nods contentedly when he sees Alice admitted with a face that seems sincerely unpleasant. Alice sighed deeply again before sipping a sip of tea.

"... so you want me to help you. I mean, information, right?

"Exactly. As you said before, the freelance high-ranking Demons are 'rare'... I mean, aren't they here?

"Well, in the vast demonic realm, a lone wolf high-ranking demon tribe that is not under the authority of the Six Kings and does not have its own, does exist. However, lonely wolves have a reason for this… they simply don't like herds themselves, they're only interested in self-training, they're pulled on a millennial basis… all in all, it's hard to bring them in."

"Well, I guess so. Otherwise, the other Six Kings would have solicited it long ago."

There is no surprise emotion that it is difficult to bring in a free-titled high-ranking Demon tribe because it is what Illis also expected.

The problem is......

"... so how many of them... have 'just the strength to be under Master Isis'?

"If you assume to live in Mr. Isis' castle, you still want the power of the Six Kings distribution executive...... that is, the earthly top class. If you're not talking about the future, but about the moment... you have a candidate."

After telling him so, Alice takes the map of the demonic world out of nowhere and continues her words as she spreads it over the canter.

"... is a demonic tribe that has lived on a small island close to the earth of death, in what can be considered the northernmost part of the demonic world, for 14,000 years. To my knowledge, she has never been out of that island in 14,000 years. During the day, he exercised silently, and at night he kept staring at the sky without moving... his street name was' The Witch of Stargazing '... the name of the Demon Clan was' Polaris'"

"... Stargazing Witch Polaris"

"By the way, in the past, Mr. Megido and Mr. Lilywood, and my men, have made solicitations, but you're saying no to them all. However, in doing so, you will definitely have the strength of the Six Kings executive class, because you are fighting and 'drawing' one of the five kings of war, Mr. Epsilon."

"Hmm, any other information?

"When my men visited her, they heard her whining, 'Not yet, time is running out', looking at the stars"

"... is that what you mean when you're asking me something?

"Yeah, it's only my guess, but she could have a 'limited view of the future'. By that futuristic view, I was wondering if you were waiting for the time to take some action... well, that's about it"

Listening to Alice, Iris put his arms together to think about something. After a moment of silence flowing as it were, Iris turns his back on Alice and heads to the grocery store exit.

"... helpful. Thank you."

"Are you going?

"Oh, I can't even beat my hand at something I won't try to talk to you about for now"

"Whoa, whoa, it could be a fight, okay? What, should Alice follow you?

"Pfft, you know, it's white. Assuming that happens... this is a good opportunity to try out my Demon Guided Coat."

I smiled lightly and put my hand on the door, where once Iris looked back and asked Alice.

"... oh, you forgot to ask. How strong do you think I am right now?

"... 'Top of the Count'... Maybe 'Best of the Count' if it's just instantaneous fire. Really, it's something I've come up with some interesting magic. The strength jumped in a short time, I guess, because Isis stepped out and coached him."

"Hehe, let's suppose you will solicit competent subordination to reward my king"

After nodding satisfactorily at Alice's assessment, Illis waved gently and left the grocery store. The magic wrapped around that little body felt heavier and sharper than just a little while ago.

Polaris, the stargazing witch, the tiny island at the northernmost end of the demonic world, the only inhabitant there, groaned with potpouts as she stared at the stars floating in the night sky.

"... yet, time is running out. But the moon has already ascended into the sky... not so far away anymore... 'Woman with black and ash hair'... if she showed up before me..."

There were tears in Polaris' eyes whining to himself. And that conveyed her cheeks, and where she fell to the ground one drop... she shrugged so that she could put all her thoughts into it.

"... it was a long time. Fourteen thousand years... finally... finally... I can serve you. I am the only king who offers loyalty..."

So he stopped the words, and Polaris slowly turned his gaze to the earth of death, which he saw ahead of the sea.

"... just a few more moments... 'My benefactor' - Dear Isis Lemnand"
