Head to toe, in warm water. But breathing is not painful, and I can be comfortable in a sense of melancholy. But once I start thinking about why this is happening, consciousness awakens me no matter what.
"(This is... where?
Moving into view is a green view. I don't know if the liquid is or the container is. Apparently I can breathe thanks to the tools worn around my mouth. I've come this far to finally understand that I'm being put in some kind of device. The view you see in the water is blurry, but apparently there are two figures at the end of your gaze. I'm not the person I know because of the shade of clothing...... No, more than that, it would be the process of being in this situation.
"(certainly under the attack of the Scarlet Demon King... no, more later than that)"
He was captured by Larheit and handed over to Archbishop Serraes. And I was to be tortured in the name of discipline. I remember, but the memories around there don't really feel clear in a record way. Means of self-defense through self-awareness to avoid being attacked by guilt in an act I originally did, something I did in the position of 'I' rather than 'I', but this is the first time I have not had the feeling that I have done it so far.
"(" I "was seriously wounded dying. and to this day)"
There is no pain in the body. Should I consider that I have received some form of treatment? But there must be no effective magic in this world against someone who doesn't have magic without advanced medicine. The only thing I can think of then is... As I make some predictions and start assuming what happens next, the sound of liquid flowing into my ear. Apparently, the liquid in the container containing 'me' is drained. Gradually, I feel gravity all over my body, allowing my vision to recognize the correct color.
"Yes, I'll take that off your mouth."
Someone comes near me with a voice I can't hear. Looks like a woman with shallow, dark burnt skin with dark hair, though her eyesight is still unclear. When things like the device being applied around your mouth are removed, cold air stains your lungs. Body freedom works, I'm as lazy as I've been sleeping for a long time, but I think I can get up on my own.
"... eh"
Your vision is normal and you can now correctly recognize who you are in front of. It was a woman, just someone I don't know, who approached me earlier as I thought. Considered demonic by its appearance. And the other one is different from the outfit and the hairstyle, but the face is Marito himself... but not Marito. It's not the way Marito looks at me. I have little interest in 'me', such a sense of distance. I can think of the situation, the person in front of me is eighty-nine.
"Good morning! Can you hear me?
"I hear you. What the hell is going on here, Bea Demon King?"
"Ooh, boulders are the star people of Yugra! I didn't expect to see the identity of my king at a glance! So, since you're spotting me, too?
"I don't know. I can only tell by the demon clan of Bea's demon king."
"That's right. My name is Neil Lyates, and I am the only demon in the right arm of my king!
Bi's only demon clan of demon kings...... oddly hooked for that. But there is something to be checked before that. Bi's demon king has no way of opening his mouth, is it this light-mouthed demon tribe that should be asked?
"Who carried 'me' this far?"
"Who are your people? They love that all three Demon Kings are coming to negotiate, don't they?
Do you have a buddy named "the others" or Ilias when it comes to it? I identified that place and found 'me'. Something like a stream that then relied on Bi's demon king? But now Neil Lyates said to negotiate.
"For what?"
"Oh, can you put some clothes on before then? How about exposing my king to nudity?"
"... where is it?"
They are given simple clothes by Neil Lyates that are likely to be worn by patients undergoing human docks or surgery. While dressing, get out of the device where you were being put to sleep and check on the room. A number of encapsulated containers are arranged on the table, such as tools that are likely to be used in medical practice. I have the impression that it is against the course of time. Then all over the walls crawl the roots of plants and things like violets.
"Was it a consideration? It consisted in the fact that the fallen son, the White Subman, would be under my king's command. I'm a little uncomfortable as far as I'm concerned."
Wolfe.
The fallen child was planted in man by Yukura Nariya and the colorless Demon King, as well as Bi's Demon King in front of him, hand in hand. A presence with a peculiar talent comparable to Seiya Yukura, who was called a brave man. Wolfe is one of those droppers who clearly understands the existence of talent. I can certainly say that it is well worth it as a negotiating material. But...
"Oh, what have you done?
"I'm just checking my legs."
Take a light step on the spot and see if you can walk straight. Even the injuries sustained by the Scarlet Demon King seem to be fully healed. Walk to a nearby table and grab a scalpel-like tool with a sharp tip. I don't see any particular reaction between the two of them. There's nothing for the weak to care where the weapon is. So with the tools you grabbed, you put your own throat...
"What do you do all of a sudden!?
Neil Lyates was grabbing this arm faster than the blade reached his throat. Really, the inhabitants of this world are disgusting.
"You're determined to refuse to negotiate. Getting Wolfe in shape should be a prerequisite to helping 'me'. Then if 'I' dies now, there will be no negotiation."
"No, no, isn't that too thoughtful!? Life matters!?
"Neil Lyates, the man only understands his worth"
After coming here, Bi's demon king finally opened his mouth. Do you look just like Marito to your voice? But the expression is slightly irritating. I see, he's a demon king who seems shorter than I thought.
It's not what you think it's worth.
"It's not what you found out about me. Neil Lyates, take the man with you in custody. It's none of my business if you die after the negotiation."
"Huh! No, you can't, can you? It's a life saved because of it, so you have to take care of it."
The power of Neil Lyates is strong and fast. It would also prevent me from biting off my tongue. Though it bothers me to ask if the boulder has the guts to bite off my tongue. Nevertheless, I honestly don't want to finish the negotiations like this.
"Then I'll ask you to change the content of the negotiations."
"You were so impotent earlier!?
"Naturally. If it's the life of someone else in the red, you can still get mad about the life of the person you want to protect."
"I know how you feel, but that's it, this is this, right?
I don't mind.
"Eh."
"I just accepted the terms they offered. If you can offer more than that, you'll have as much ear to listen to."
Is it still as heard from 'gold'? Bi's demon king looks arrogant because he correctly understands his superiority. If it actually benefits you, you can also make suggestions and negotiate, and at that table you have the honesty to seek equal value. That must be why you're a troublesome opponent. Without negotiating materials that can truly find value for Bi's Demon King, there's no island to mount any kind of mouthpiece.
"I'd like to ask you a few questions"
"Where do I need to answer that?"
"It's not you. Your demon clan, Neil Lyates."
"Oh, is that me? Hey, my king."
I don't mind.
"Eh."
"Neil, Lyates, answer him within your discretion."
"... haha, I get it!
You look bad now, you demon. Well, I can read the approximate development. I wish I could get confirmation from you for "me." Neil Lyates turns to this one after showing a bare gesture of thinking only a little.
"Well, then, can I ask you a question?
"No, let's have clear Q&A rules! The first question about my king is dismissed. The next thing you know, it's rude to keep my king waiting forever, so let me ask you three questions."
"That's an understandable harassment."
"I was told it was my area of judgment. Come on, come on, come on, come on?
This guy's having a little fun. But based on this development, I guess it's Bi's demon king's idea to try it if it's something he can pull information from.
"There's nothing wrong with that rule. What I want to hear is your personal question."
"If it's a sexy belt, it's a neck."
"Thanks for the info I won't need for the rest of my life"
"Terrible!? Well... you have no reason to reject it if it's in my personal range. I want you to know who I am, because I have a strong desire."
"That's information you don't need either. First question. You said you were the only demon, but no other demons?
"You're not there. I used to be, but most of them were killed in the wrath of my king. I owe it to you both to build a happy world for me and my king!
Whether you're your own demon tribe, don't hesitate if you're in a bad mood. Due to this Neil Lyates personality, it seems like he's getting quite a cage... I guess.
"That's the second question. I hear Bea's Demon King usually sleeps. In the meantime, you've been running this place the whole time?
"Of course that is. From the management of the demonic world to the cleaning of this castle, I've never been indispensable for a day after I became a Demon!
I don't know if it's a castle here or because of the thin fantasy element. The demon world seems different.
"The last question…"
"Oh, something bothering you?
"No, honestly, I can't think of anything I want to know about you"
"You really are a terrible person!? Say it face to face!? Well then, all my heart is dedicated to my king, but it breaks my maiden heart to be behaved like that by your Highness!?
"Then tell me even a passage from Poem that spells out your thoughts on Bea's Demon King, which you usually write in your spare time."
"I don't like it!? Why should I be allowed to recite it in front of my king!?
"Are you writing..."
"Ha!? What advanced induction interrogation!?
I got all the information I wanted as of the answer to the second question. Depending on the second answer, I was going to dig a little deeper into the third.
"Then you're done asking questions."
"What am I saying, you haven't asked a decent question, have you? Is that why you come up with the kind of bargaining material that my king would approve of?
"How about the neck of the demons who betrayed you?
Neil Lyates' joking face suddenly takes him seriously. Bi's demon king... can't see a change in his expression, but he has a slight power in his eyes to see 'me'.
"My king, forgive me for throwing this man an inquiry from me"
"Forgive"
"Thank you. May I ask how you got to that content?
"It was about ten years ago, or there was a demonic raid on Tayz that brought Wyburn and other demons. If you are also a demon clan who can obey the demons of the Tayz demon world, you will make no mistake under the authority of Bi's demon king. Nielyates, you said you've never left this demonic world since you became a Demon clan. Which means you're not the demon who attacked Tayz. And right now, there's only one Demon in this world."
Most of the other demons were disposed of by the demon king of Bi. But most of it means there are exceptions.
"So the purpose of the question was to see if I was. But did you not think that the demon tribe had already been disposed of by my king?
"I have an idea." I "and" I "found out about the dropper because they sniffed that the people who were hiding a religious group called Raitis were looking for the dropper. Then how did the laitis know the dropper existed? It'd be easy if Bi's Demon King's Demon Clan was involved, wouldn't it?
"Whoever attacked Tayz should be superficial and widespread that he was crusaded"
"That's what the guy in Laitis' position said, that the demon clan that attacked Tayz was alive. Then you should still consider yourself involved with Raitis."
I'm talking about believing in the words of reality, but there are quite a few elements to believing. Whatever Raitis's purpose is, the only thing in the process is to search for the droppers. Then there is a great chance that the demon clan of Bi's demon king, who is familiar with the dropper, is cooperating.
"Why do you think that demon tribe betrayed us?
"You told me, the only one. If you're taking orders and you're moving, you just have to tell me there are others. That means we're alone in this castle, as that was the proper statement to make from your tea. You guys are not collecting droppers. If Raitis is finding quite a few droppers, he's making it available for experimentation in one or two of these rooms, right?
This is some kind of lab. I checked, but around the capsule I was treating, there was something like an excommunicated plant. And those plants remain crawling in the other capsules. In other words, it can be assumed that this room was not used for a long time until 'I' was treated.
"Then the Demons and you guys cooperating with Laitis are not in the pattern of being in decent touch. But that's odd considering your subordinate relationship with Bi's demon king. All you can think about is that the demons are acting arbitrarily."
"... you're just saying you've flexed the three demon kings"
"The current lack of manpower prevents us from ending the demon clan. There's no way Bea's Demon King is going out in person. I'll do that instead. I think it's worth it if you betrayed the king and crushed the head of a rebel."
I know it's you in the dark if it's also the best trump card, but you can't turn an array against your enemies. If you find out you're in Tayz in the first place, maybe Bi Demon King will attack Tayz. The former would be more valuable if we considered only the registration of the useful and the disposal of the unnecessary, and the simple advantages. But due to Bi's demon king's character, it shouldn't mean he only seeks pure profit.
"- It would be good. If that condition is met, I'll accept it as a consideration for saving your life."
That's all Bi's demon king said and left this room.
