"Our goal is to defeat the Demon King."
"... yes? Demon King?
That's right. In fact, we are from a country west of what you call the spiritual peak. There, the Devil King was born recently. Naja, the Enemy of God, has been working hard every day and may not be able to reach him. That's why we crossed those mountains to fight them. "
"... could you please stop joking about that? Are you going to make a fool of me? You can't cross that spiritual peak as much as you want."
It's true, Charlotte. I've crossed that mountain. "
"... no, that's impossible. That is impossible. Spiritual peaks are always closed by snow and ice. I have heard that there were many expeditions headed west. But it's all over."
"Why can you say that you have failed? Maybe those expeditions have reached the other side of the spiritual peak."
"... that's right. You might say that just in terms of getting there. But they're all fantasy stories now that no one's ever come back."
Hmm, I'm in trouble. Indeed, from that theory, it may be difficult to prove that I came from the west. It's just a fact. We came across what we call the Great Snowy Mountain. I was hoping to gain the power of Atmos's warriors to defeat the Demon King. "
"... then why did you attack us? You have no reason to fight us, do you?
Yes, there is. Atmos warrior Tanatos, he's the reason. He managed to escape, cowardly betrayed by the Brillian Magic Land. That's how we cross the spiritual peak into the western country where we live. And the warrior of Atmos, who made a bond with me through his heart, wanted to return to his homeland, and we wanted the strength of the warrior of Atmos. In other words, my goal is to liberate Atmos' village at Tanatos' request, and then face the Demon King again with Tanatos' help. "
What kind of existence is this demon king?
Are you the Demon King? That's right. It was actually a less powerful presence at first, but it continued to grow at a frightening rate because of its special ability to attack and gain power from its surroundings. Therefore, instead of being an opponent with half-way power, it may promote the power of the Demon King. So in order to fight the Demon King, we need to gather our allies and slap them all at once. "
Fufu. It's like a fairy tale. "
"I think so, unfortunately. But it's true. Naja the Demon King is real. And we're constantly exposed to that threat."
"... I see. In other words, here's what you want to say. He wants to assemble a stronger presence and hand to fight the Demon King. If so, why not? Let's join hands with my Brilliant Magic Nation. Together, you and I will have a stronger relationship than we would rely on a warrior like Atmos."
That's what Charlotte said with a smile.
I like it.
Suddenly he told me something I didn't know about the Devil, and he told me a good story.
Or rather, Charlotte's options are limited.
The possibility of making such a proposal was well thought out.
The Brillian Magic Land, which attacked the land of Atmos, then occupied the land.
We've been collecting Spirit Stones that can be converted into weapons for years.
But why there are royalties like Charlotte in such a place seems to have been a problem.
It seems that the Brillian Magic Nation, which occupied the Great Valley called the Rise of Atmos, was collecting the Spirit Stone that had originally been bare on the surface.
But after a few years or so, the simple task of picking up the spiritual stones that are falling on the ground is over.
Later, we had to use tools to dig up from the ground.
But there was a problem.
In fact, in recent years, there has been a case of a monster attacking a miner.
Atmos warriors dwell in the Spirit of the Earth and call it the Great Stone. Perhaps this land with its labyrinth nuclei is full of magic.
And sometimes monsters are drawn to that magic density.
Yes, unlike the Labyrinth, there are monsters appearing here.
It will only be called the land of the barbarians.
Even if the giants who originally lived here were monsters that could be defeated without suffering, the damage would be immeasurable if ordinary people were brought here as miners.
Therefore, I needed a strong person in charge with a lot of magic, along with the guards.
That's where Princess Charlotte stood.
Charlotte had to defend the land at all costs.
That's why I suggested this to someone who fought once but was defeated.
I'll forgive you for attacking us, and I'll make some concessions, so get your hands off Atmos.
Even if the Demon King said something he didn't know what to do, he would try to find a compromise between them and reach an agreement.
This proposal is quite appealing to me.
Honestly, the current situation in Atmos is too bad.
Perhaps it would be more profitable for Charlotte to make a national connection with the Brilliant Magic Land.
But I don't want to leave Tanatos's problems alone.
So I decided to make another suggestion to Charlotte.
"On the contrary, shall we solve the problem of the Warriors of Atmos and the Brilliant Magic Nation, Lord Charlotte?"
"With the warriors of Atmos? What does that mean?
As for me, as I mentioned earlier, I want the warrior power of Atmos. And as Charlotte, don't you think Atmos warriors will want to stop coming back to reclaim their land? In other words, I will buy the intermediary between the warriors of Atmos and the Brilliant Magic Land. "
"... are you sure you can mediate? Honestly, it's not very believable."
It's possible. How about the land of Atmos, where you are, and the warrior of Atmos, where I share something delicious with each other?
Charlotte seemed to think in my words.
What do you think?
I think this is the only solution in terms of the combination of the advantages of our side and that of the Brillian Magic Nation.
Well, as Charlotte is worried, there is a question of whether the surviving Atmos warriors will accept it.
Before Charlotte replied, a comms officer in the same room called out to me.
Apparently, I've been contacted by [preview].
The news has come that what I asked for has been completed.
I heard that. I'm leaving Charlotte's room.
Regardless of Tanatos, Lyla might be angry.
I was ready to leave the village of Atmos considering the consequences of my actions in the future.
