Konjiki no Moji Tsukai (WN)

27: Demon Nation Conference

A few days after the Suncolors escaped [Buscador].

In [Human Country Victorias], the four brave men summoned along with the sun color had taught Lilith and Welle the first time they had grown up when they returned to the castle to check their respective "statuses" after doing their quest for monster crusades.

"It's still amazing to hear it again!

Welle was opening her eyes and raising her admiration. He is the educator of the brave men and captain of the second unit of the National Army.

It is Lilith, the First Princess, who is dyeing her expression with the same color of joy beside it.

"What's so awesome?

Daimyo, one of the brave men and the only man to represent everyone as he leans his neck, listens.

"May I? There's only one inherently magical attribute that you can have. There are no exceptions. There are certainly also those who have more than one attribute due to their personal talents. But like you, I've hardly ever heard of three or four attributes. Besides, light attributes are basically attributes that only the 'Spirit Clan' can handle. That's brave of you all to have it."

Everyone laughs as illuminated by Welle's letting go compliments. I guess we're still glad we're cheesy.

"Besides, Mr. Wells is surprised that your magic acquisition rate and level are improving very quickly."

Welle nods back at Lilith's words.

"And even from the magic and physical abilities, Master Tysi and Master Chika are the avant-garde attack type, and Master Shri and Master Shinob are the rear guard support types, right? It seems that's how we specialize in numbers."

Indeed, each "status" is focused on attack by Dai and Chika, and defensive support by Zhu Li and Shinobu. Magic also has such an effect.

"This is a very balanced team, isn't it?"

Lilith is also smiling happily with her hands together.

"Hahaha, that's the same as when you were playing online games!

"Looks like it!

Daiji laughs face-to-face with Chika, the same brave man. They were making a team of four with online RPGs.

Even then, this is how Daimyo and Chika attacked and Zhu Li and Shinobu supported them. Brilliantly the role of that time was also reflected in this world.

"If the level increases, the Status will continue to grow in a manner commensurate with each of them."

"Heh, that's exactly RPG. By the way, how much is Welle's level?

"Is that me? I'm 58."

"Wow, Sasu is the captain, isn't he? I figured you'd knock down a monster or something and raise the price of experience?

"Right. There are other experiences you can get into naturally if you make a quest."

"No, I did quite a quest when I was summoned. The guild is great!

"Sort of. I knew if I played the game, the guild would be flavorful."

I raise my voice in favour of the words of the great aspiration. Shibu.

"Besides, it's a relief to be with you."

It is Zhu Li who says it with a gentle grin and a dusty feeling.

"But at first I was surprised. Adventurers are dangerous jobs. But when it comes to guilds and quests, you'll be happy to sign up."

"Because it's a guild! I'm an adventurer! It's a quest! Gamers are excited! Hey guys!"

"Yeah, my arm's ringing. Normal."

Chika as well as the other two snorted back, and the ambition gave a satisfying look.

"This is as reliable as you can count on."

Welle was smiling remembering his reliance on those brave words about how he misunderstood their optimistic thoughts.

There Lilith takes the wrapper out of her nostalgia and spreads it in front of her ambitions.

"Enjoy this treat if you like, Master Taishi"

"Heh? Is this something, Lilith?

"It's actually a cookie I made with the maids today"

"Heh, one thing."

Chew one star-shaped cookie in your mouth.

"Yeah! It's delicious, Lilith!

"Oh yeah! Haha, good."

Lilith is dyeing her cheeks and laying her eyes down in embarrassment, but she looks pretty happy. And when I see it, Chika gets mucked and pokes her by the side of the grand ambition with her elbow.

"Ouch! Hey, what the hell, Chika!

"Hmm, what are you stretching under your nose, you tarashi demon!

"Ta, tarashi demon......"

You're shocked by Chika's not many words. Drop your shoulders in dismay.

"Mi, please enjoy yourselves"

Lilith rushes to take refuge in her ambitions, sees her ambition to return a grateful smile, and Chika becomes grumpy again.

Did you think this was a bad idea, the ambition becomes desperate to change the subject?

"Oh, uh, yeah! Hey, Wel."

"Oh, yes, what is it?

"No, I was wondering if there had been any problems or anything in the nearby city lately."

"Problem…?"

"Speaking of which," Welle says after being questioned and conceived for a while.

"Is something wrong?

"Yes, well, he's not directly involved with this country, but he said a research facility called [Buscador] was in a mysterious collapse."

"Heh, what kind of facility is that?

"He seems to be studying the demonic ecology of anything, but he doesn't know the details. Excuse me."

I'm sorry, says Welle. You don't even know Lilith. She was tilting her neck.

"But I'm a little concerned..."

"What do you care?

"Yes, according to a report from a researcher who ran away from it, a thief came for anything."

"Thief?"

"Yes, and some of the thieves were similar to the person wearing the example red robe."

Speaking of red robes, he's a reputable figure who supposedly saved the village from a billed adventurer who was evil.

Yet this time he is being treated as a thief who may have destroyed a research facility.

"Aren't you a different guy?

"But when I had glasses on my dark hair, it was similar to the person I had talked about before."

"Phew, but if you're really doing something wrong, aren't you going to get caught one of these days?

That's what Chika said. Chika doesn't seem very interested in this kind of talk.

"Oh, I remembered with my glasses, how's he doing?

Suddenly, Chika reacts to it when Daimyo says it like he remembers.

"... what is it all of a sudden... is he?

Hill Village. Hill Village.

"Oh......"

Chika replies without hesitation if she is not interested.

"You're here because of us, aren't you? Hey, that was just a bad thing."

"What are you talking about now? You said you didn't resent Hill Village. You don't have to worry about it. I left on my own."

"Mm-hmm."

"First of all, you don't like a guy named Atashi."

"Really?

"Yes, because I'm always alone. I don't feel lonely because I can do anything on my own, and I don't feel good watching."

The other three also push silence on Chika's angry mixed words.

Sure, the sun color was in the same class, but I never talked to him. No, I've never seen you talking to anyone, not just the comrades.

I'm there as if it were air, and I'm not there when I realize it. I also skip class, and if I skip it properly, I come to the classroom and stick it up to my desk and go to sleep. Or I'm reading a book.

"I want you to keep me on track!

"Hey Chika, why are you so angry?

"'Cause it's not annoying! Even though he's barely out of class or anything, he's better than a weasel on an on-campus test! Oh, my God!

"Yes, no, even if I ask...? That's simply your head..."

"What?

"Yes, no... it's nothing"

The sun color is certainly hardly in class.

I haven't listened to the teacher because he's asleep even when he's out. And for some reason, you get good grades on the tests you take. So Chika is angry at that irrationality.

"Look, don't you think Hill Village has a solid preview and review at home?

As he defends, Zhu Li makes the thought floated as a possibility into words.

"No, there are lines like school and tutoring."

And Shinobu adds to it.

"I don't know. That's not true!

I swell my cheeks and turn to pussy. Oh, boy. The ambition leaks a sigh.

"Was Lord Okamura one of them?

Welle says, but you can see the difference in ratings where you follow a lord instead of a lord.

"I'm not one of them!

"Well, my classmate... it was between studying in the same place"

"Hmm, is that right? But is he really okay on his own?

"Huh?"

"This world is really in danger swirling. The same goes for the 'Demon Tribe' thing, but the same kind of race can be annoying to each other, and for him to live on his own, no matter what, he's probably going to be an adventurer. But he doesn't seem to have the distinguished ability to fight like a brave man... In addition, there is information that the movement has recently been enlivened in the Kingdom of the Beast (Juyukoku), the land of the Beast People. Maybe the war is close..."

You get caught up in it, and maybe you die. The words were predictable for everyone on the spot.

A painful silence flows. Though we're not friends, I just feel bad about my classmates dying.

"It's all because of me summoning that one..."

Gentle Lilith is depressed to say her primary responsibility lies with herself. Silence flows without knowing what to say. But in the meantime, it was still Chiaka who cut the tantrum first.

"Oh, already! I can't help but care about that self-absorbed guy forever! You must be stronger than that!

"Chika will do it."

"What are you complaining about? And if you defeat the Demon Clan and make peace, that doesn't mean he can make peace!

Everyone opens their mouths to the word. I didn't expect that idea to come out of Chika, who was angry until earlier.

"Chika...... that's sweet"

When Zhu Li smiles with joy when he says so, Chika yells with a bright red face.

"Chi, you're not! Atashi just...... oh already! This story is over! It's over! Fine!"

The three look like they're having fun feeling like they said "yes".

"Master Chica is right. Think about getting stronger now."

Everyone nods back at Welle's words.

Located far north of [Human Country/Victorias], [Devil Country (Makoku)/Haros].

In one of the rooms of the Demon King's Castle within that country, the fierce men of the 'Demon Nation' were face-to-face, surrounded by a long table.

The long table is arranged so that three people face each other to the left and right. The seats are filled for five.

Only one person is sitting back in a position where they can see it. And next to that one, there is one who stands like a companion without sitting down.

That means there are a total of seven people in this room. And the only one standing, Kiria, a woman with crisp expression and bright white hair like snow, opens her mouth.

"Now, then, I would like to begin the Demon Nation Conference. Let me start by checking from the less sequential, as I learned from the precedent."

That is how Kiria looks from herself and turns her gaze to those who sit in the deepest part.

"Sequence Six, Dear Greyards"

"Ugly."

Appearance A young man with shallow black skin in his twenties, looking dizzy and kneeling on his desk replies. A tungtung head like a onion is a trademark.

"Sequence Five," Dear Shubblers,

"Ha-ha, Woof."

A luscious beauty with a good perception answers with a smile as she moves a purple lip. Style is outstanding and dressed to provoke the chest.

"Sequence Four, Dear Ownous,"

A person whose face is beastified like a wolf, covered with blue body hair, nods back small.

"Master Tekkail from Sequence Three will be traveling for you, so you will not be able to come here."

Then I heard a small tongue pounding. Its opponents are:

"Second Place in Sequence, Dear Marione"

He was the kind of person who looked like an obvious militant with a tight face. I'm frowning in a grumpy way. But there is a mustache growing in his mouth that makes him want to touch it.

Kiria doesn't mind continuing.

"Sequence # 1, Dear Akwinas"

"Oh."

A red-haired man shouted quietly. The atmosphere it creates gives you a sense of just piercing.

But like a woman, her tight face is attractive to both women and men.

"I now give you this agenda, Your Majesty Yveam."

Kiria urges Yveam, the blonde girl sitting next to her, to talk.

"Um, okay"

Yveam is a young girl about sixteen or seven years old. It shed beautiful blonde hair that the woman envied, and its face made her feel a little young, but it was what she deserved to call a beautiful girl.

She opens her closed eyes and reveals blue blue eyes like a clear sea. And when I tried to open that lip with good blood color, Marione from "Sequence Second Place" quickly raises her hand.

"... what's up, Marione?

"What is it, Your Majesty? Why is anyone absent from the Demon Nation Conference?

'Cause I asked him for a job.

"Work? Well, is it more important than the Demon Nation Conference?

"That's what I decided. Besides, it doesn't have anything to do with the content of the meeting that we're going to have. Listen to me first."

"……… is it the Left Lord"

It looks like it hasn't been interpreted yet, but I pulled back once.

"Look, let's just get straight to it." The Humans Successfully Summoned the Brave. "

Everyone reacts to that word of Yveam. Each one of them is clearly grumpy, interested and eye-sparkling, disguised as indifferent, etc.

"Is that true, Your Majesty?

The Shubblers ask, so they nod back.

"Oh, it's information from Tekkail. Definitely."

So you're sending him into the human world.

Marione is nodding as convinced.

"Yeah, but I'm going to go to the beast world and ask you to explore the trends."

"Hey, maybe I should be more alert to the 'Beastman' now than to the 'Humans'"

"Sure, you heard the dally report that a few of my men got hit before. I retaliated quickly, but it was a dahl."

Speak a word that Greyaldo is pale, but sure to contain anger.

"That's right. Brave men are a threat indeed, but now you can still leave them alone. More than that, it's the 'Beast People'. Higher physical abilities than ours and the Cosmetic Arts they knit are very troublesome. And also belligerent."

"Instead of being able to use magic, they have that strange power. But I don't feel like I'm still developing. I thought now would be the time to slap him."

Marione says so, but Yveam shakes his head.

"No, I told you before. We have to go to war!

It was Marione who suddenly slapped the van and the table and nailed everyone's gaze.

"What are you lost in blood! My people are being killed! Dangerous buds can only be crushed as soon as possible!

"No, then you just follow the same path as your predecessor! Our aim is to create a world where the clans can live in peace!

"Isn't that why you're going to end the interrupter!

"No! In such a way hatred just swells! The feud calls for a feud, the war gets bigger, and this [idea] will break at worst!

"Then what are we going to do! You think I'm gonna accept what they're gonna do?

"That's right!

"Become... Huh!?

I never thought the word of affirmation would come back and it would solidify.

"The Predecessor... My brother killed my father and took power, trying to create a world just for the 'Demons', and it turns out this is now. Is this what we want now? Do you think a world where other races stare, fight, and hurt each other is the right world?

Everyone listens to her in silence.

"My brother was assassinated by someone because he acted so radically. Probably the 'Beast People', but I don't care about that now. But past domination always creates distortion. The distortion gradually grows larger and more contentious.... Isn't it sad? Whoever lives in this world has the right to live slippery. Why should we take it away from each other..."

I lay my eyes down sadly and leak my words. Kiria notices her shoulders trembling slightly and gently places her hands on her shoulders.

"It's okay, Kilia, I'm sorry"

And look up and stare at everyone.

"It would be best if we could hold hands between other races, but there must always be a way not to hurt each other if not!

It's an ideal theory.

Marione cuts and throws it away.

"Yes, idealism. But a lot of blood just keeps flowing like this."

"We are the Demon Nation. Why do we need to weigh other species?

"Life is great just because it's there!

……

Yveam has the appearance of sixteen or seven. Try Marione and she'll be nothing more than a little girl. But he took a breath for a moment at the strength of his daughter's eyes.

"So we don't use force as much as we can. War and all that!

"Mm-hmm. But, Your Majesty, I'm sure you're sending your parents of harmony to other races. Wouldn't it be all in vain?

Shubblers is right. Yveam has repeatedly sent a parent book to hold hands together. But no reply. I haven't been totally dealt with.

"That's an impossible story too, isn't it? In my predecessor's time, we used to kill each other. Even if it's about the parent book, it's a pretty good way to use it to commit treachery. It's no exaggeration to say that each country and we are connected by hatred. Besides, there's no way to negotiate harmony from the" Demon Nation "side that was at its center, no matter what kind of joke they think it is."

Greyaldo pukes in a sigh like a solitary.

"There will be no forgiveness for the atrocious injustice done by my brother, neither the 'human race' nor the 'beast tribe'. I understand that. But if someone doesn't break the chain of hatred, more grief will ensue."

"So now you think we're going to break that chain?

Marione says with a grin like he made a fool of himself.

"Yes."

"You can't. They're killing me, aren't they? Even my countrymen won't be able to convince me now. Still, does Your Majesty tell you not to lay your hands on it until harmony is established? How long will that take? Until we perish?

"No! 'Demon Nation' is something I protect!

"That's a joke. What His Majesty has said so far is nothing more than to put the 'Demons' at risk!

With Marione's tremendous hegemony, even Yveam looks stuck in words.

"Still... I..."

"The 'human race' will raise brave men and attack them soon. No, before that, the 'Beast Nation' should see the opportunity and be sure to come. There are also signs of that. Either way, there's no more time. We just have to kill each other until one of them dies. Now, I want you to withdraw your declaration of truce!

Now the 'Demons' don't attack other races because Yveam is using Demon King authority to impose a truce. Demon King's life is absolute. It has long been decided that if you break it, you will be sentenced to a maximum sentence.

"Now, before it's too late, we have all our strength to get rid of the intruders! Your Majesty!"

Yveam, who receives the word and is silent for a while. Face up and stare at Marione.

But the face does not appear to have succumbed to his words, and Marione also frowns when she sees how it is.

"We will not withdraw the truce!

"Sire!"

"Why don't you calm down a little, Lord Marione?

"The Beast Man Collapse didn't pinch his mouth. Shit!

I stare at all the Aunous I've been pinching my mouth.

"Why are contraindications like yours here in the first place! In the first place..."

"Shut up!

"Huh!?

Sudden anger. The air solidifies in the words released from Yveam. And I glanced at Guillot and Marione.

"You're going against the life of the Demon King!

"Ku............ Hmm! I remember the emergency. I beg your pardon."

Saying that made my nose rough and I left the room.

"I'm glad I didn't stop you, Your Majesty. Huh?

A slightly excited grin on Schubblers' question.

"Yes, no... I can't bend my beliefs"

Then Akwinas, who had ever shut his mouth, speaks.

"I'm short minded, but I can see you, too, and I'm serious about the future of the 'Demon Nation'"

By alle, I mean Marione, of course.

"I know."

"His wife and son are also killed by the Beastman."

Aunous is also quietly closing his eyes. Seeing him like that, Yveam shook his fist with regret.

It is understandable that extraordinary hatred resides in Marione because he is murdered. But still, I think it's wrong to rule with hatred.

"Today... I'm dissolved"

Unlike earlier, our demon king - Yveam - left with Kiria from the spot with a powerless and sad look. Only Akwinus and Aunous remained as the others left one after the other.

"Never mind. As I said earlier, Marione is a little short tempered."

Aunous inadvertently loosens his mouth to words suddenly released from Akwinas.

"No, I care about His Majesty"

……

"What does the Lord think? Your Majesty's ideals."

".................. that's sweet. Too sweet."

…………

"But..."

"Hmm?"

"A world without pain. If you really have something like that, I'd like to see it."

"... right"

"But even if we're the only ones who want it, it can just poke a vain reality."

"I guess so."

The two of them did not move and the silence would flow for a little while, but it was Akwinas who first cut off the tantrum.

"... Someone"

"Hmm?"

"If there's someone who doesn't focus on the race, who can be a bridge between the races, or..."

"Can't His Majesty do that?

"Princess...... No, Your Majesty, I can't do it alone. Moreover, the representative of the 'Demon Nation'"

"Right. He who is not a 'human race', a 'beast tribe', a 'spiritual tribe' or a 'demon tribe'. If you're such an unaffiliated person, you could be a bridge."

"That's the ideal theory."

"Still, will the Lord continue to support His Majesty?

"Oh."

"I, too, pledged to support the Lord like that."

"...................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Smile slightly at each other and take a seat. And Akwinas thought.

(who can be a bridge...... that's really ideal theory)
