Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (Reboot)

94: A proposal from the Demon King

Currently, there was a meeting of the Demon Kingdoms in Demon Kingdom Haos for a long time.

But there is a vacancy out of the usual glare.

Kilia, who was close to Devil King Yveam, betrayed Yveam, and Greald, the sixth in the series, died in battle.

Only the Demon King and the Demon King's Direct Guard are here.

"Everyone gathered here to decide what to do in the future. And to get an accurate picture of the current situation."

Each of them nods back to Yveam's words.

"But is it true what it says, Your Majesty?

Marione looks at a piece of paper in front of Yveam and says,

The paper was entrusted to Judom by Tekkail.

And Yveam was handed it directly from the color of the day he received it.

"Oh, I definitely feel the magic of Tekkail. Besides, I can't get in touch with Tekkail right now. Probably as it says here, Tekkel is trapped. And I caught him..."

Your lips are heavily moving with a harsh look on your face.

"The ancient demon king, Avolos Grand Early Evening."

"Stupid!" said Marione, who knocked on the table.

"Isn't that just a mistake? The body of the ancient demon king was confirmed by this eagle and Akwinus? There was nothing strange about it anywhere. Isn't that right, Akwinus?

"... ahh"

"The" Magic Nucleus ", also known as the second heart of the" Magus Clan ", was also destroyed. There's no resurrection anymore."

"That's true... but what do you think of Akwinus?

Yveam looks at Akwinus.

"... I did see death with my own eyes. That was definitely a corpse. It wasn't even Kilia's doll."

"That's right. You couldn't hide behind his eyes and pretend to be dead."

I can see from Marione's words that I trust Akwinus' eyes quite a bit.

"So, you think Tekkail made a mistake?

"That's the only way."

"You're the best intelligence agent in the country? And, yes, Tekkail is ranked third in the series after you two. I don't think there's anything I can do to keep that tecail alive. That must be your class."

"Nh, muu..."

Marione roars without saying the right thing.

"Besides, the presence that Era Aura said was there, and the presence behind Kilia that she said was created for the meeting. I feel connected to it."

I had no objection to that being felt by everyone here.

"But that's not necessarily the ancestral demon king. Isn't it only possible that the paper said so?"

"Indeed, this paper only describes how Tekkel came to the idea. But you're saying he saw it? The face of the dead - the territorials!

The scene becomes the scene. That's all the words she said weighed heavily.

"Territorial... the right arm of the ancient demon king"

Akwinus opened his mouth to break the space of silence.

"Now you're in a relationship like you and Kilia."

"Ah, ahh... but he died a long time before his brother died. No, he was murdered. By the other brother's own hands!

The field calms down again.

"If we can bring the dead back to life and use them, it will only be the ancestral demon king."

Everyone looks at Akwinus' murmur.

"Yes, only Avolos, the ultimate Necromancer."

Gokuri and everyone are throbbing.

"If the territoriality Tekkail saw was the manipulation of the dead, it was definitely Avolos. And if he's as strong as the Territorial, he nods that Techkel has been defeated. After all, the territory was Tekkail's teacher."

The Territorial Master was Tekkail's master. No, it can be called a parental substitute. Tekkail, who had preceded his parents as a child, was one day picked up by the Territory and adopted.

Tekkail was taught everything by the Territory.

And everyone here knows that. He can't be mistaken for the face of the territory.

But such a dead territory is alive, and my son captures the same tecail. I can only imagine that someone is manipulating me.

And there was only one person who could manipulate the dead. It was only Avolos, the ancient demon king.

"Akwinus is right. Perhaps my brother... Avolos disguised his death in some way and has lived to this day. And I don't know what the purpose is, but I'm sure my brother planned this war. It's no wonder he did that."

Even though Yveam is supposed to be with his family, Yveam keeps his words on spiritually. The expression is more disgusting than sadness.

"And there's no doubt that Avolos will come forward in the future. I don't understand because of my desires."

"... I wonder if Kilia... was with the ancestral demon king from the beginning?

Schblers questions, but Yveam drops his dark expression when Kilia's name comes up.

"... I don't know"

"Your Majesty...."

Shufflers murmured worriedly.

"Kilia... Kilia has been by my side since I was a kid. I can't believe it was created... who could have thought of it..."

He's holding his fist and shaking it full and small.

"Valkyria... that's what he said."

Yveam nodded without strength to Akwinus' words.

"It was a long time ago. A time when there was still no country here. There was a woman who named the Devil for the first time. The man gathered many compatriots to make a country. However, neither the knowledge nor the wisdom to create the country was found in the" Magus tribe "of that time. Simply put, he was less intelligent. The first demon king, who was the only wise man, thought it would take too long to teach everyone carefully one by one."

Everyone is listening to Akwinus. Even Marione is listening to the story for the first time.

"So the first demon king thought that if he made several identical beings, the nation-building would go smoothly."

"Oh, no way...."

Yveam leaked his words as he opened his eyes.

"It was called the Valkyria Series. They were very good, like the demon king's counterparts. They didn't seem to be able to produce that many, but nation-building progressed as they led the people. And it was the Devil's Land, Haos."

"I've never heard anything like that before. The literature should only have said that the first demon king led the people and founded the country."

Akwinas answers Marione's words.

"I guess so. If nothing had happened, they would have remained in history."

"But you think it's a problem?

"Oh, soon after the founding of the country, there was an incident."

"Incident...?

Yveam asks anxiously.

"One Valkyria began to run wild without a clue."

"Runaway?"

"Ah, that runaway was incredible, and I destroyed it all on purpose. Moreover, the runaway did not stop at all, but covered all the Valkyria Series. When you think about it, all the dolls that should be called the counterparts of the Devil King, wisdom and power, are driven by the urge to destroy. You know what happens?

It would be a hell of a picture.

"Well, how did that happen?

Chevrolet's cheeks twitched back.

Simply put, it's a magical runaway.

"Magic runaway?

"That's right. The Demon King's counterparts were indeed excellent. But the Demon King's power was too great in that vessel. The vessel was still stable at first, but the vessel gradually screamed over too much magic. And the vessel finally collapsed."

It will be as destructive as if the dam were to break.

"Of course, the demon king can't watch it silently, he destroyed them with his hands. Even if you're a double, you don't have all the powers of the Demon King. The Valkyrians were destroyed by the Demon King. But the price was high."

Because the country was destroyed in that battle. The people were almost destroyed.

"Is that what happened...?

Yveam looks sad, too.

"Then the Demon King sealed the existence of the Valkyria Series. I decided not to. Then she took the time to gather her compatriots together again to build a country. Seriously, with your own hands."

"Did the Demon King conceal his deeds from future generations?

Ah.

"Isn't it too selfish? You create them yourself, you hurt the people because of them, even them... and you hide what you've done..."

Yveam is shaking his body in anger. I can't forgive the first demon king for being too selfish.

"Your Majesty is right. But there are other reasons why I hid it."

"Eh... others?

"Don't leave behind dangerous things like the Valkyria Series. The existence could not be completed even with the knowledge of the Demon King. The creation of an incomplete Valkyria will create another tragedy. The Demon King, who decided that curiosity was not the only thing to make, buried all his ways and Valkyria in the darkness."

Certainly, there is a problem in leaving behind the creation of dangerous things that no one can control. Again, the Demon King thought he couldn't complete it, but others couldn't complete it.

That is why the First Demon King did not leave his way to future generations, fearing that someone could no longer create and stop an incomplete Valkyria.

"Mhh...."

Yveam looks down ashamed of the divergence of views. But I still think that the facts that have brought the people into this world should be left behind in some way.

It seems that those who follow the lesson will be able to make better policies.

"But I do know that I doubt that I will leave anything that leaves anxiety behind for future generations. But now Kilia... exists."

"Your Majesty is right. I was also surprised to hear from Kiria that Valkyria. I can think about it....."

"Avolos?

Akwinas nods at Yveam's words.

"I don't know where I learned how to make it, but it's probably..."

"But how do you know that?

The question of Marione is all the more important. Everyone's gaze is also on him. Akwinus exhaled with a flirtatious exhalation, closing his eyes and opening his mouth.

"... not all the people have been destroyed. It was enough to count, but some did survive. I'm the one with that connection."

In other words, did you hear the story of survival, or did you hear the story of the descendants come into Akwinus' ear?

"I see... but I didn't know there was such a thing in Kiria..."

"No wonder you don't know. Me too... I just heard the story. Maybe I was the only one in the country who knew."

"Wow, Your Majesty, even if Akwinus is telling the truth, things will not change. Rather, we are talking about the war, which is the immediate problem. What are you going to do about the prisoner?

Ask how Marione will use the captured prisoner to act from the status quo.

"Oh, I see. We have to decide first."

Yveam exhales loudly when he looks at them.

"This time, I had you capture the" human tribe "and the" beast tribe "that entered the magical world. But I'm not trying to take the lives of the prisoners."

Nobody says anything as if the other four already knew the idea. Marione is also in a bad mood, but she is silent.

"I intend to conclude an inviolability pact for the release of the prisoners."

"Well, isn't that an alliance...?

Yveam stares at Guillotine with a slightly disgusting feeling.

"Even I know there's no way I can make an alliance in this situation. That's why we're only prioritizing peace in the demonic world."

"But, Your Majesty, do you really think the other person will drink that condition?

"That's right. They betrayed us, the" human race, "and the" beast tribe, "which strangely hurt our pride in the last war."

Schblers and Aunous each say.

More than six months ago, there was a war with the "Beast Clan".

Yveam dropped the bridge and ended it immediately, but Yveam and the others acknowledge that it hurt their pride at that time.

"Perhaps... it's impossible to talk about the 'human race'. The King is more likely to abandon his prisoner for some reason. After all, I threw away the hero who was supposed to be their trump card."

Hmm ~ So you're only negotiating with the "Beast Clan"?

"Ah, they are a race that values bonds above all else. It may be unlikely, but maybe."

I don't think it's worth it against that Beast King.

Marione shook her head slightly to the side and spoke.

"They do value bonds. But I've never done anything like wrap my tail around a battle. If we're going to win this battle, we're going to throw our lives away."

"But this time we have company?

"It won't stop anyway. They're blood hungry single-cells."

Marione leaks killer air. I guess I still hate Wesen. I couldn't help it. Because his wife and son are being killed by the Beast.

"... but I still make recommendations."

"What are you going to do if it doesn't stop?

Yveam closed his eyes and tied his mouth to one letter. Everyone is waiting for her to speak. And her mouth opens.

"Then... let's fight"

The words solidify Marione as if she had been poked with falsehood. No, it's not just Marione. Everyone but Akwinas is Pokan.

I didn't think the word "fight" would come out of Yveam's mouth.

"Heh, Your Majesty? Do you know what it means to fight?

Chevrolet asks in a hunch.

"Ah, if you don't accept my request, we have no choice but to fight. Just because you broke a bridge doesn't mean that your anxiety went away by postponing the fight."

That's right ~

"I've been overlooking it, and I've been convinced that just waiting and believing in my opponent won't change anything."

It seems that I learned it clearly this time. You can't just let them go and trust them.

"So if the demands don't go through, we fight. On top of that, you can control them and feel our nostalgia! That we really want peace!

"With force...?

She nodded while biting her teeth at Marione's words.

"Oh, but I don't want to kill as much as I can... so I'm going to let them ride on a proposal that goes hand in hand with the partial release of the prisoners!

Those on the spot were as solidified as if they had lost their words after hearing her suggestion.

Lenion leaned towards his neck as he saw Legulus coming back to the tent with a difficult expression.

"What's the matter, brother?

"Hmm? Oh, there's no Eugene."

Euchit is the owner of [Beast Kingdom Pacion] 's proud mind, and the author of the "Unknown Bracelet" that inspired him to invent the "Costume Art".

"Ah? That Mudd bastard?

"Oh, he was supposed to be deployed here."

"Why are you looking for that bastard?

"No, I thought he'd come up with a magic trick to get us to the magic world."

"Oh, I see. Well, it's about him, so he'll show up soon."

I see. He's out of his league. "

EUHITS always appear suddenly or disappear somewhere, so they don't seem to care much. Legulus thought it would be easier for him at my pace even under these circumstances.

"By the way, where's my father?

"I'm going to another tent. They must be talking to the wounded."

Funn, as always, I think of you as a companion

"That's our strength."

After waiting on the spot for a while, the soldiers entered the tent with great momentum. He seemed to be in quite a hurry, disturbed by his breath.

When I asked why I was in such a hurry, a letter was sent from the "Magus Clan".

After a moment they looked at each other, they hurried out to King Leoward.

"Oh, are you guys here?"

They felt uncomfortable with the tone of voice somehow. This is because his expression was a little loose and the pleasant atmosphere was on his voice.

"Father, is that your example?

"Oh, read it. It says something interesting."

And I read the letter that was handed to me, and Legles said, "What the hell is this? I raised my voice without thinking.

Of course, Lenion was also interested in the content and asked Leggles for an explanation. I heard the explanation from him and felt the same astonishment.

First of all, we are asking for the conclusion of an inviolability treaty on the grounds of the release of prisoners. There was no surprise because this was what Leoward and the others had expected.

The problem is if the request doesn't go through.

If the request didn't go through, we would settle it in battle. It was a little surprising to be a sweet demon king, but it was the way he fought that took his breath more than that.

Here's what it says in the letter.

Your power is unlimited now. When we fight extermination like this, there will only be a lot of damage on both sides, and even here, it will not be beneficial. Then, instead of hurting soldiers and people badly, you should choose a mutually acceptable way of fighting. You must have said this before. If you want to dominate us, try to do it with strength. If so, let me show you. With our help, I will hold you in my pocket. Let's decide whether to win or lose in a confrontation between your greatest strength and our greatest strength. I'll give you the details of how to fight. Match the numbers. If you understand, I will also release some of the prisoners. But this is the biggest concession. If I refuse this request, I will not resign from the battle of annihilation with the full power of my "Demon Clan". Of course, it's best if you don't have to fight. I expect a good response. "

Everyone on the spot is listening to Legulus' explanation and poking. It's not too irrational. Because there was too much content here.

Indeed, as it is written in the letter, if we continue to fight, it will be a battle of annihilation. And perhaps the color of defeat is dark from a few. Everyone can imagine that death piles up.

But with this way of fighting, the soldiers will no longer be hurt without darkness. Moreover, it is clearly advantageous for us to be able to choose a detailed way of fighting.

No matter what I thought, I could only think of unfavourable conditions for the "Magus Clan". If the opponent kills all the prisoners like this and crushes the remaining combat power, there will be no problem.

And yet everyone leans their necks for some reason.

"Gahahahaha! Oh, my God, this one's taken! I'm going to tell you something completely unusual! Gahahahaha!"

Leoward smiles funny at heart.

"Chi, Father! Not if you're laughing! What are you going to do!

Answer Leggles' questions with a smile on your face.

"Anyway, it's convenient for us!

"But this could also be a trap!

"No, it won't be."

"Nah, why?

"You don't have to do that, because you can win a fight if you fight normally. I don't care what you think."

Now that the "human race" has withdrawn, it is obviously too bad if pushed in a few minutes.

"Besides, I told you the demon king was sweet. Perhaps there is no lie in this content. Well, it's mostly my guess!

"I wonder..."

Legulus exhales in astonishment.

"Besides, it's been a long time since we've had such a great battle... fufu, I've had such an exciting proposal!

"Chi, Father...."

At that time, a pong and a hand were placed on Legulus' shoulder.

"Aniki, no matter how much you say, it's useless."

It was Lenion. But he also smiles happily.

"Isn't that interesting? I thought it would be nice to go out to war like this, but it would be awkward to settle in that way."

Looking at his expression, Legulus droops alone. I shake my head from side to side against two people who are too militant.

"Haha! Don't look like that, Leggles! Look at that."

Leowood snaps his chin and pulls forward. There were Barid and Petites of The Three Beasts kneeling down in gratitude.

"Oh, you guys...."

"We will do our utmost to win."

Petites only nods back to Balid's words. He seems to be very motivated.

"... hah, I see. Are you sure you want to do this?

"Oh, and maybe he'll join us in this fight."

Put your hands on your chin and make a joyful smile.

"He?"

"Well, some of you may disagree, but we have a great chance of winning this battle!

"" "Ooooooooo!

I wonder if the soldiers are getting along, raising their arms and raising their voice.

"Soldiers! Trust us and we'll take care of the rest!

"" "Ooooooooo!

Thus, the collision of the "Magus" and "Beast", which are extremely unusual forms of warfare, was decided.

"Really? I'm glad they drank it... First of all, I'm glad."

Yveam was relieved to hear from the Beast. Now there will be no more deaths on either side than necessary. Of course, if we lose the match, we don't know what happens to the "Demons".

I intend to use the "Contract Paper" to make a promise to win a match, and in it, I will make a contract not to kill the loser in the dark, but if I lose, it is likely that my life will be lost.

The defeated side does not intend to propose to enter the winner's pocket, that is, to take the form of a subordinate. But this promise isn't perfect either. You could throw away your life and betray it.

But Akwinus will remove the anxiety.

"They don't break a decision once. I think that's the pride of the Beast. That's why I've never heard them betray anyone before. At least if the Beast King now drinks what he wants, he will follow it, emotionally or otherwise. Besides, where we won, your Majesty is not going to hold them back, is he?

"Of course."

"Then the dissatisfaction won't accumulate. You should spend some time with me to see what we mean."

"Really... oh, yeah."

"But to do that, we must win this match."

"Oh, that's right. Honestly, let me show you how to defeat them from the front!

Seeing her holding her fist tightly, Akwinas loosened her cheeks.

"But I can't believe I chose this method. Marriott and the others looked like they were open mouths.

"Haha... actually, this way... Hyiro..."

Hiiro?

Ah, ahh

What she demanded from the Beast this time was also a proposal that Nippon came up with.

When she was talking to the sun, she leaked that she could manage to settle peacefully in this war.

At that time, I was laughed at with my nose and made a fool of. I was laughed at what I was saying. Of course I know what he said was right, but I was still not convinced and became angry.

This is what the sun said to her, who had been peeling for a while.

There can't be a war where no one gets hurt. If you don't want me to hurt you, you should avoid a war. "

It's only natural. She also said that she tried not to do so.

The war that once broke out will certainly not stop intact. However, depending on the opponent, the damage can be reduced as much as possible. Well, it's kind of a dream story, but it's a stupid idea like a hot blood cartoon.... "

That said, he taught me how to say this time, which seems a little difficult.

"Oh, was this ridiculous suggestion from Hiro?"

I had a good look on my face.

"But you made a good decision."

"... there's no choice. If you keep fighting like this, you're really going to keep fighting until one of them is destroyed. Absolutely not. Then I thought if I went on top of them, they would hear me."

"... I see, the other party is a unique way of being a beast."

"Ah, this method is certainly not intact, but it should do minimal damage. And unlike the other party, we're clearly making a bad proposition. If they lose, they won't say anything."

"Fufu, that's pretty strong. Is that Hiro too?

Uh-huh, well...

He looks bad.

"Certainly, if this is so advantageous, or if you have taken on a situation with many advantages and lost, you will have to admit that the Beast is right. Defeat yourself."

"Oh, Hiro said the same thing!

Akwinas stares at Yveam with a happy smile. I noticed the gaze and turned away in a hurry. My cheeks remain red.

"... fufu"

Look at Akwinus with a smile on his face.

"Hmm, is there something you want to say?!

"No, you just have to change yourself little by little."

The expression seemed to contain a kind of affection in which the parents would rather watch over their children.

"Eh... what...?"

Then Akwinas turned his heel and tried to go somewhere.

"Where are you going, Akwinus?

"... a little"

With that said, he stared at Akwinus' back as he left the scene.

"... what is it...?

I was still leaning against my hot face.
