We searched for places where the demons were and where the villagers were being manipulated, but there were no traces of why there were demons in this village.

"... could it be that I activated the Sanctuary Circle so the Dark Waves and Curses never disappeared?

When I spoke to the three of them to dispel my anxiety, there was a lionel and the others with a full grin.

"What do you think... it's no wonder that the Demon Clan, which had all that thick temper involved, didn't seem to have any temper after activation, so it was purified and blown away"

Lionel happily expands her hand and waves her face to the side.

I know I was wrong to ask.

"I crushed it before I did any rituals, so I'm sure it's fine. Even if we don't find out the truth, it's not Luciel's fault."

I couldn't find out if there was any trace in the first place, but it was all my fault.

"That's right. It wasn't until Red Dragon that I felt that the enemy was so strong. If the Demons hadn't played in battle and Lord Luciel and Lord Lionel hadn't rushed, they'd be dead with Ketty by now."

Read my complexion, or it sounded like Keffin was the only one on my side... saying that the Demons were stronger than Lionel when he said what he was saying now.

"Keffin, this is where I mess with Lucielle a little more."

Ketty laughed and looked like she was trying to tell Keffin's story.

If the wounds I sustained in this battle could have been played by the Demons, the fact that Ketty and Keffin might really have died shakes my mind.

"I think so, because it looks like the villagers woke it up"

When I heard Keffin's words and turned to the villagers, I did see the villagers striking back at me.

"... I don't know how this situation will appear to them. Just keep your sword in your sheath."

If I tell you so, I'll retighten the area barrier.

Now in case you have a chance of an ambush, if you don't get killed in one blow, you won't die.

With that in mind, speak up.

"Villagers, are you all right?

The villagers wake up in turn as they have spoken several times.

"I am Luciel, a S-class healer affiliated with the Healer Guild. Is your consciousness clear?

As I continued to speak, the effect gradually began to appear and the villagers' consciousness gradually awakened.

And as soon as I saw who I was, my face faded.

"Master Luciel!? When did you come?

"It's Luciel."

"Some of our people are here."

When one woke up, consciousness awakened one after the other, and for some reason they were going to sit in the ground in front of me.

Apparently there were villagers who remembered my face.

"You don't have to sit in the ground. Not an hour has passed since I visited this village. When I ran here and noticed something strange at the entrance to the village, I saw that the lords had been manipulated by the demons, defeated the demons and hurried to heal them with healing magic. And what happened?

When I heard that, a man walked over here and started grounding again in front of me.

I remembered he was the village chief of this village.

"Actually, the kids are being held hostage by my house. We were threatened by a man named Demon Clan..."

"Threatened?

"... I remember since they told me I was going to do the ritual..."

The village chief looked in trouble and that didn't look like an act.

Forenoir, who is sensitive to lies, also did not react.

"Does anyone know who it is? I don't think you'll ever be hypnotized at the same time?

But no one raised their hands.

If you were a demon clan in the position to play with Ketty and Keffin, you might have been able to manipulate the villagers together...

"Okay. The village chief should look at the house. Ketty, Keffin, take the village chief and see how the kids are doing from inside the house. If you're a demon, let him be a Buddha."

"" Ha. "

We decided to make sure that Ketty and the others headed to the village chief's house to see when the villagers had lost their memory.

Fortunately, the villagers were alive, so we could hear the situation, so we started asking questions, hoping it would be good to decide on an expedition to Melatoni.

"I'm sorry I'm tired of you all, but can you tell me how long you've been manipulated and the memories before and after that? Tell me as far as you can remember in the process leading up to the Demons catching their children."

I don't know why the Demons were lurking in this village, but I was sure someone had guided them and brought them in.

But nothing showed up to testify to it.

On the contrary, he had to keep his mouth shut if he did not know the story of the village chief who had testified earlier that he had been threatened by the demons.

"It's like...?!

I've been seeing this phenomenon lately.

Yes, in the Dwarf kingdom, after the power of the Dark Spirit was used.

But at that time, everyone... except me, who was intolerant, had their memories altered by the waves of darkness.

"Lionel, it's the village chief's house. Everyone, please stand by."

I activated the sanctuary junction once and for all, instilling magic in the fantasy wand on the spot, without going after it.

At the next moment I heard a dawn and an explosion, something popped up and tried to fly straight into the sky, but when what seemed to be Lionel's great sword of flames was shaken, I had never seen it before, the whirlpool of flames captured something and shot it down.

"Did Lionel even do that?"

With such a grunt, I was activating the Sanctuary Circle even against the villagers I was assembling.

"I didn't know you were still there..."

Towards the tormented villagers, I threw the spear of Saint Dragon, who without hesitation instilled his magic.

At the very moment of suffering, when he transformed himself into the first demonic figure, the spear of the Holy Dragon stabbed deeply in the demon's chest, screaming and falling.

The villagers were badly confused by my actions and some screamed out, but when I cut off the limbs of the villagers who turned them into fantasy swords and turned them into demons, there was no one else to speak up for too much brutality.

My body moved amazingly myself and I felt manipulated, but I felt unquestionably awakened to my sense of crisis.

"Now, demons, why did you come into the village of Saint Shroud's Accord, which is also close to the center?

"Gaha."

I don't really care if I spit blood, and when I heeled on my limbs, the wound healed just a little.

It turns out that healing magic works for the Demon Clan, and purifying magic and state healing magic can have normal effects, which is different from the undead attributes.

"I'm not a saint knight, but if there's a demon tribe trying to crush the village so easily, I think defeating it is also a mission"

"Ha... ha, then you can kill me"

"You don't think I want to live?

"Goddamn it... with this injury... die anyway..."

"I can't recommend suicide bombing because I take out the demon stone in my chest before I burst into magic. And you can't die."

I stopped bleeding when I heeled my hands and feet.

"There is nothing resentful about the Demons. I didn't have to coexist, I didn't mean to interfere to live. In this day and age when there are no brave men in the first place... in this day and age where there are no demon kings, what will war be?

"Then why did you kill your countrymen?"

"On the contrary, I'd like to ask you, what would you do if I was going to Demonic territory and brainwashing every village?

…………

"That's the answer... more than that, are you a pure demon clan?

…………

"Maybe you were originally at the Empire's experimental facility?

Blood draws at once from my hurried face.

"Because I don't make it bad......?! Middle Heel, High Heel"

I cast a healing magic with chant discards, but the Demons never recovered.

"... why did he die? Losing your life is worse than a pledge... it's a curse."

You have a curse I can't lift that I dispelled... I felt I had to listen to the Dark Spirit, not Estia.

Little voices that talk to hissocks overlap and feel small blurring.

Lionel, who brought a corpse that burned black to his place, and Ketty, Keffin, who was injured, returned.

"... were you still here too?

"Oh. There was no Lionel and the others, so I ambushed and defeated where I suffered in the Sanctuary Circle at once. What do you got there?

I listen to the area high heels, recover the three of them, and then the state recovery magic again.

"... No, the kids were safe instead. Looks like he was trying to move it somewhere..."

"Okay. I'll talk to you later."

"Ha."

I look back at the villagers and open my mouth, checking the faces of each and every one of them.

"Gentlemen, the Demons have defeated you, so you can return to your homes. I'm staying at the village chief's house today, so call me if you need anything."

If you forget everything, there's no point listening... and on the contrary, it leads to distrust.

I don't think it's a good idea to be in the village chief's house, but some of the villagers must have been treated by me, so I can probably talk about it.

That's what I thought, making it a priority to return it to the child's parent.

When I lit the lights on the village chief's house and made sure the child was gone, I decided to take a breather.

"... So what's this miserable situation?

I know there was a fight, but it seemed really bad.

He was brought here to guide us. He attacked us from behind.

"Instead of just being dangerous, we were attacked too… if the Demons hadn't suffered since glowing blue and white outside, they might have died"

"I slashed them from behind where they managed to attack the demon tribe that they were simulating to that old man."

"Master Lionel managed to help us attack. But then the house burned out and I was in a hurry."

"If you two had put out the fire, I'd be surprised when the roof blew up"

"Right!! Lionel. What's that flaming attack coming out of that great sword?

"There was a weapons maniac in the Knights of the Church who taught me how to use it."

"... you taught me so well"

"I was told it was because I was a servant of Master Luciel. He laughed proudly because he was a squire who regained the prestige of the Church"

"... I'm just a coward though. Well, let's make it dinner."

"" "Ha" "

Before entering the house, we decided to release the men, including Forenoir, after they had been turned into stables of hiding and awakened the men who had been in the carriage, confirming that they were not demons.

After putting her unconscious Estia to bed, she handed all the children over to her parents, and it was only just then that it was over.

I'll put some purifying magic on the table and arrange dinner.

"When dinner's over, while we clear the village chief's house, we'll explore."

"" "Ha" "

And we surrounded dinner.

"Did Ketty and Keffin ever notice anything in the field when they were in their first fight?

"He had a suspicious cane, and he had a cane."

A cane... some sort of ritual?

"... something like that?

"When the magic unleashed by Master Luciel was wrapped, the wand, the tsubo and the magic formation disappeared."

"Magic Formation?

I don't think there was anything like that, but did the sanctuary circle really undo everything?

"I couldn't find it earlier, so will you look into it tomorrow morning?

Lionel's voice brings him back to consciousness, and he keeps talking.

"Oh. Anything else bothering you?

"Speaking of which, no one suspected the man who thought he was the village chief. Possibly a pseudo."

"That bothered me, too. I can't believe I can't judge Forenoir... it's not normal. Even the bandits should have noticed that they had not been able to react... it is possible that demons and demons are different, but they can even resemble emotions such as smells"

"I get it. Neither I nor Keffin noticed because of the smell or the sensation."

I can't notice Forenoir who might be the Spirit, I can't notice Ketty and Keffin who are the Beasts.

Is that really happening?

"Sure... and I don't know if there are three demons out there, if only to master one village, I think it's excessive power..."

"Well, this time it's almost certainly an imperial entanglement,"

After Lionel is surprised, he hits us with a gaze that pushes something to kill him.

"... do you know anything about it?

"Remembering our relationship with the Demons that Lionel and the others were investigating at the time, weren't they originally in the Empire's experimental facility to the Demons I defeated? When I asked, it was the only thing that was dead. That's a curse."

"... are you really going to create a demon clan anymore?

Not only did I feel it from Lionel as a samurai, but I don't want to admit that my hometown, the Empire, will be stained with darkness.

Such emotions were overflowing.

When you say something that seems like a little hope or fun at a time like this, it saves you a little bit.

I felt someone taught me that.

"You don't get it. It just seems pretty creepy if it stays like this, and would you really consider your strength to defend yourself?"

"Do you even make it in the Private Corps?

Keffin ate it right away.

"Oh, we're going to the Empire someday."

"... why?

If Lionel knew my personality, he would naturally think so, but the Demons showed up even though it wasn't imperial territory.

I feel like things haven't changed much anywhere.

Then there's only one thing I want to do to Lionel and the others.

"The cause of Lionel and the others wanting a position of slavery, if we go to the Empire, it will be eliminated, won't it? I don't want to enslave those I trust forever."

"... you have no choice. But going to Meratoni, going back to Rockward, going to Nerdar, going to another country, it's not going to be possible to get married for the moment."

If I thought I was a little distracted, I was returned with a vendetta.

"... from where it doesn't matter, don't drop the bomb all of a sudden!!

"Master Lionel is worried. Polygamy should also be tolerated in St. Shroud's Republic. I've never heard a man make you wait. Attack Lord Lumina early."

If you think it's nya loud, more Keffin cover comes in.

"That's right. I don't think there's another chance."

The snort was rough and Keffin seemed to be telling himself, but his face was close and mentally damaged, and I cut up the story and gave him instructions.

"... don't say that because I think about that talk properly. And tonight, maybe there will be a raid, so I need your help and protection."

"" "Ha" "

Thus, after a strangely tired dinner, he began to clean up the village chief's house.
