Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (Reboot)

141: Knowing the bad news

Avolos, who was watching the starry sky on the terrace by himself, opened his mouth as it stood in response to signs of approaching from behind.

"... Kainavi?

Ha!

"What about the neck and tail?

"No hesitation. The report says they've captured the queen and princess Lilith."

"Yeah, that's good. But I wasn't surprised the Impact King ran away without fighting back."

As Avolos said, after declaring war on Judom, he fled the scene in a glance.

As for Avolos, who had fought before, he said that if he was provoked, he would turn hot...

"You've grown out of it. The young man at the time."

I missed Judom for the first time and laughed.

Yes, when he was still an adventurer, it occurred to me like yesterday that even a little provocation pushed him in like a boar.

This is how it stops on its own, but there is no doubt that the flow of time is moving.

"What will you do?

"Hmm ~ I see. Even if he's a ranked SSS adventurer. It's my ex. But that strength comes with origami. If it was one-on-one, they might be in danger too...."

"Are you that man?

"Hmm? Oh, well, you don't know his power. Yeah, he's a man who knows all the shocks. Whether it's a magical battle or a fleshball battle, it can be tough to fight alone."

"I didn't mean that...."

"What are you talking about? You understand a little bit, don't you? You've been smelling flowers in The Impact King ever since you got here, right? Yet I couldn't get through to him. Well, rather, I was aware of the Kainavi attack and dealt with it."

Kainavi bites his teeth with regret, but Avolos smiles happily.

"I've had some of the dead on mission chase me, but it looks like they're splendidly kicking me... I don't know what to do."

As I tilted my little head and made a thoughtful face for a while, I noticed that there was a pique and avoros, and I moved my eyebrows to narrow my eyes. And I looked at the streets below me.

"... I see, you're going to turn against the enemy."

Unlike Avolos earlier, that expression contained a feeling of loneliness and loneliness.

"Majesty?"

"... yeah, it's nothing. It's just something interesting happened."

……

Avolos looked up at the starry sky again.

And instead of saying anything to anyone, he moans.

"I got the country... Kuku"

The bad news that [Victorias] fell into the hands of Avolos soon reached [Beast Kingdom/Passion].

And now, the Japanese ears that are staying there naturally come in.

Initially, the colour of the day when we didn't get much information about the human world was when we first learned that King Rudolph was upset and that Judom was assembling the country as a proxy.

In particular, Rudolph was dazed by reports of distraction. According to the information, it was monstered by Avolos....

What an ironic life, King Fool.

He seemed to have taken the "Magus" he hated, but he was the one who ended up holding the hand, betrayed by the "Magus", and I thought it was too pathetic to be turned into a monster who could not speak properly.

I don't know where his real family was.

Now there is no way to ascertain whether the goal was really to make the world peaceful, or whether you just wanted to make sense of the fact that you sacrificed your daughter.

However, he has twisted the path that he was driving until then at someone's convenience, making it the end of the line that deserves to die.

(King who used to be human turns into a monster... a turbulent fallen life)

I knew I wouldn't die a busy death, but I didn't think I'd become a monster.

Even so, that Temple Demon King is really moving.

I thought there would be some movement in the near future, but it was an unexpected fact that [human country] had taken over.

The Japanese colour is now confronting Leowood in the Throne Room, but I heard the report at that time. I also learned that their "Matal Deus" is leaping everywhere.

"Hyiro, what do you think they're gonna do?

"World conquest, right?

"... no, I know that..."

Leowood talks with a stunned sigh, but he didn't say anything wrong. After all, that's what Avolos declared in front of us.

"Anyway, I'm sure we should try to gather information now. Even if their ultimate goal is to conquer the world, there is no doubt that Cochi will suffer in the process."

"Hmm, Hiro's right. Both the Demon King and I need to keep the information tight and plan countermeasures."

Euchit, the proud mind of [Beast Kingdom/Passion], was heading to the lab he was given, but when he tried to open the door to the room, he felt a sign from inside.

When I slowly opened the door to see who was there, I heard a voice that struck me as "ho".

"Oh, oh, there were some unusual customers here."

The person has as long ears as Eugene and is dressed in white again. Moreover, they were both Yoreyole white coats, and not only were they similar, but their faces were somehow similar.

But it's only natural. What is before Eugene now is Laraseek, her real sister, whose blood is connected to Eugene.

Hmm, I didn't want to come here.

It seems like a child to sharpen his mouth so as to overflow with complain. She threw a pencil-like tool in her hand at the table.

"Oh, I hope you don't treat me like that!

In a hurry, Eugene holds the tool thrown at the table and exhales to see if it is safe.

"As always, it seems important only to have something to do with my research."

"Nyohohohoho! No, Lara! Hola, look at this!

If you look closely at the tools in your hand, there are several things like switches, and when EUHIT presses them, the tools that were pliers move like a cashakasha and an assembly puzzle, quickly turning to a flat head screwdriver.

…………

"Nyohohohoho! And here's how it works!

Press the switch again and it will now be in the form of a hammer.

"Hooray! Isn't that convenient?! Lara, let's play!

"It's like this!

"Ahh!?

Laraseek, who was handed tools by Eugene, threw them into a tool box that he kept in the corner.

"Uu... hi, you're making such a terrible mess..."

Eugene mourned as she shed tears under her glued glasses, but Laraseek stared at it in a cool manner.

Besides being a research idiot, Eugene values things related to research as if they were family. Especially when it comes to what she makes, she feels depressed because she always boasts of Laraseek.

"More than that...."

"More than that!? What the hell are you talking about, Lara? These kids are like my kids!

"Okay, okay, okay. I'll apologize for the good liquor this time, so forgive me."

"I'm not interested in alcohol!

Eugene's face turned bright red and angry, Laraseek sighed and scratched his head.

"I'm sorry. By the way, what happened to the knife?

"Ugh, I don't want to apologize at all... but that's fine. Um, speaking of the knife, is that it?

Eugene points to an object wrapped in a red cloth on a shelf.

Oh, is that it?

Laraseek takes out the knife by cloth and checks the contents.

"So? Hiro checked it out, right?

"Nyohohohoho! That's right! Thank you for your amazing investigative abilities! Nyohohohoho!"

"Well, it's against the rules. So, what is this knife?

"Wow, does Lara still care?

"Well, I'm just a researcher. I checked this knife at Leo's request, but I didn't know anything."

Shrugging her shoulders, she grabbed the knife and stared at the part of its suspiciously glowing blade.

"A blade made by processing the Doft Fill that exists in Monarch Clarken. Its potency makes it easier to pass through overwhelming hardness and magic. I have no theory about what I can do to make Aragorn die."

"Well, that's true. Because the blade doesn't mean that much in the first place ~"

"... hah?

Eugene receives a knife as she approaches Pocahontas and hardens like she's been poked into an illusion. Then point to a part.

"This is my liver."

Me?

It was fitted with beautiful crystal balls like marbles.

"... it wasn't just a crystal ball, was it?

"Nyohohohoho! That's it! Everything Red Robe says is" twin beads, "and it seems that there is another bead that matches everything."

"... so?

"Actually, it seems that this bead and the other one somewhere are connected, but this is what the transmitter and Red Robe said."

"Send?"

"The other one is reception.... don't you understand?

Eugene uses her index finger to try Laraseek, but Laraseek gets happier after thinking about it for a while.

"I see! Send... receive... I see. So you took all the magic from Aragorn with this knife. And the magic I took was sent through this bead of the transmitter to the other bead of the receiver... right?

"Nyohohohoho! That's my sister! That's right!

The blade made with Doftfil makes it easier to pass magic. In other words, the knife stuck in Aragorn flows through the blade and into the bead. And the magic flowed from the bead to the other bead.

Aragorn, a large tree with magic, was depleted by all magic. But that was good enough. After a while, there would have been magic and a return.

But "Twin Pearls" had another effect.

It turns life itself into magic.

By stabbing a knife, Aragorn was deprived of magic, and all vitality was converted into magic, literally depleting everything.

"Is that what this is all about... transforming life into magic... there is certainly something in magic equipment that has such an effect... I can't believe it..."

"Maybe, but it's not commercially available. Perhaps it was procured directly by the ancient demon king ~"

"I guess. I've never heard of or seen such a bead. Besides, maybe this is...."

When Laraseek received a difficult expression,

"Nyohohohoho! That's Lara. You noticed after all. That's right, the pearl is actually... dying."

As Eugene said, The Twin Beads were already just beads. Probably can only be used once, and once used, it will become a normal decoration with no power.

"That's why you didn't know... if there was anything left, you'd know what it was, but if it was just a bead, it's impossible how much you didn't know."

"They figured it out in one shot, so the researcher's face is crushed! Nyohohohoho!"

Of course I'm talking about Japanese colour.

It's good to find out because the color of the sun has solved what the two proud minds of the Wesen don't understand even if they think about it, but they still have a feeling that they are not convinced.

"... fuu, so this knife is already just a knife..."

"No, it's a rarity and a mistake, more than it's made in Doft Phil!

"Well, well, even if I wanted to figure it out... it's still a later festival."

Laraseek had a dark expression mixed with regret.

"... it's okay."

"What about it?"

EUHIT is yawning.

"I'm sure the trees are a shame, but we're still alive."

…………

"I will definitely pay you back for taking Aragorn, which was the subject of my research!

Apparently, EUHIT's research subject, Aragorn, was killed by Matal Deus, and EUHIT felt like his family had been robbed.

And it's getting angry at them.

"Nahaha, they did something stupid to piss you off."

"Nyohohoho! I want to autopsy that body of the previous demon king...! Nyohohoho!

Then the two of them discussed the future……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………… said that they had heard no more, and Lassik returned to their homes.

It was a euhit who invited me to tea, but nobody knew that I was shocked when I was refused.

Walking in the castle with a slightly tight expression, he is heading straight to the destination of the "Demon King's Guard (Kruel)", which is prized by [Demon Kingdom Haos], and Akwinus who reigns at its top.

Long bright red hair flares to the left and right, and regular sounds are heard from the floor for quick steps.

He noticed that the maids were dyeing his cheeks by looking at the beauty of the arrangement, and proceeded with a calm attitude.

To the office where a girl named Eveream the Devil King, who is above all his protector, is working.

Arriving at the destination, he knocked and opened the door with permission from the other side.

"Oh, my complexion has gotten a lot better. Evidence of a good night's sleep since then."

With a smile on his face, Akwinus saw Yveam, who was currently working, and decided that her skin looked different.

She also turned her face down a little shy.

"That's why you said you were sorry before! And since then, I'm going to get a good night's sleep, just like I was warned!

Hmm, that's fine.

In response to Akwinus, who nodded satisfactorily, Yveam shook his head to remove the heat from his red cheeks and heard the requirements for his visit.

Recently, the evil news of [Victorias] arrived in [Magic Country].

I didn't think that Avolos would take over the kingdom of man, but I made sure of it with my trusted subordinates.

Akwinus came to ask Yveam if he had any new information since then.

No, I don't have any new information.

"I see....."

"Something bothering you?... you mean Lord Judom?

…………

"I heard that he had almost wrapped up the kingdom in the absence of the king alone, but I don't know what happened to him in the Matal Deus raid..."

Oh, I see.

"I'm certainly worried... about how many of them are out there..."

Yveam leaks words worried.

"No, I don't think he's the only one who died."

"Akwinus....."

"I know the power of that man, I've actually fought. No matter how many people push you, you should have enough strength and wisdom to survive."

"... yes, if that's what you say."

Yveam smiles as if relieved. In fact, she won't know the true strength of Judom.

I only met him once when I was young.

But Akwinas is fighting Judom to death. The connection that they fought for their lives seems to have built a relationship with each other that is equal to that of their comrades.

If Akwinas believed in the strength of Judom, then Yveam would have believed in his survival.

So the story came to a close, but Akwinas thought of a person.

"Speaking of which, what happened to Hiro after that?

Huh?

"Huh? No. It was Hyiro who forced me to sleep and made me realize that I was using my body too badly."

"Mh, mmh... is there a thorn in the way you say it?

"Fufu, it's my fault."

Actually, Akwinas may have hit me a little.

I guess you wanted to be a little bit mean to Yveam, who was jealous of the color of the day that made her change her mind easily, and listened honestly to the color of the day again.

"Hyiro, I haven't heard from you in a few days. Wow, don't worry about that idiot Hyiro!

The tone has changed, but Akwinus says with a smile as he sees her complaining honestly.

"Well, the lack of information is also evidence of good health. And can you imagine him dying somewhere?

"... I can't..."

"I'm talking about him. I'm sure you're enjoying something delicious over there or even finding a rare book.

"... I'm sure it is."

Yveam makes a stunning face that makes it easy to imagine the color of the sun, perhaps without a doubt.

"Besides, now it's more about the demon king than Hiro."

"... I see."

Suddenly, both of them became serious faces and the air in the field became heavy.

"Worldwide conquest... when you believe what he says, does it start with humans...?

"The [Beast Kingdom] was attacked, but it wasn't dropped. I thought it would be easy to get [Victorias] if we were expecting confusion now."

"In fact, he got the country without a clumsiness. And now he's going to start ruling the human world."

Yveam is silent in Akwinus' words. Because of Avolos' character, it will surely be dominated by fear. It is not strange to kill anyone who rebels.

And eventually, all human beings will be dominated by that fear.

"... where do you think you're going next, Akwinus?

"It's very powerful now, and it's likely that we'll be left behind here."

"... then [Beast Kingdom]?

Um, maybe there's already something going on over there.

"Wait a minute! There's even Hyiro over there!

"Oh, so if you do something on the contrary, it's pitiful. If you buy Hyiro's wrath, you'll definitely be crushed."

"... hah, whatever you want, come home safely, Hyiro"

Various thoughts stagger in the chest, but the top priority in Yveam's mind still seems to be the safe return of the sun.

"Besides, Aunous is over there now."

Ah, that's right.

Even so, the presence of the sun still pops into Yveam's chest, but Akwinus also thinks of two friends who would be far away if he slightly smiled at her feelings.

(... it would be best if nothing happened)
