Walk through the king capital of Bestier with a guide to the deer beast man.
Apparently this man is also the head of the inquisition.
Even though it was only noon, few people were walking away.
There are many shops that are not open and I miss them so much when I say it's Wang Du.
"Is this what it's always like here?
"No, it's usually more lively.... Actually, about a month ago, this country was attacked by demons"
"To the devil?
The story of the deer beast man says that a demon came suddenly where the National Army was training and destroyed that squadron.
Though the demon managed to repel the king of this country and the ten most powerful beasts of this country, who say the Beast King Soldier, he cursed the Beast King when the demon retreated, and because of this the king was unable to rise either.
"The demon attack killed many who were part of the National Army. And those who survived also suffered terrible injuries and are still being treated."
"Oh, yeah, what is it?"
There is no television or newspaper in this world.
In other words, information from other countries hardly comes in unless it's a human being.
It seems that the kings of each country have their own information network and get information about other countries, but nevertheless there is a time lag in the information, and the information is never communicated to the general public.
I had no idea that many beasts had been killed by demons.
I feel a little scared that I don't know, that I don't notice.
This happened in the kingdom of the Beast, and if you say it's none of my business, that's it.
But what if this happened in Glendale right now?
My precious family is in danger, and I don't realize it.
Well, my family's all at the Ifrus School of Magic right now, and there's Luano the Sage on the side.
Besides, I give the whole family a bracelet of guardianship, so I don't think anyone would get hurt, even if the demon who attacked this country attacked Glendale.
However, assuming what was going on, I thought I should consider how I could get information in real time, even in other countries.
I ask the deer beast man another thing I was wondering about.
"I was told that the demon raid was about a month ago, but what was the demon's foothold after that?
"I don't know. I heard you made a big hole in your belly with the king's attack... but it didn't seem to get you to stab Todome. Perhaps they will recover and attack here again, so for the sake of vigilance, the people are basically waiting indoors."
Really? So you say it's the boulevard of the king's capital, but there aren't many people?
Isn't the demon who attacked this country the demon who attacked us? ─ I thought so, but apparently not.
The demon I captured didn't have a hole in his belly.
If so, there would have been two demons on the side of this country.
Beastmen have exceptionally high physical abilities compared to the human race.
Perhaps the most powerful of them are still lurking nearby, demons who did not reach the point of defeating them even when they became bundles.
... you should be a little wary.
I secretly unleashed my magic and activated some magic.
─ ─ ─ ─
I walked for a while to reach the royal castle.
Whereas the royal castle of Alheim, the kingdom of Elves, was an elegant castle, the royal castle of this country had a boneless and pragmatic construction.
I broke up with the deer beast man here.
There was yet another scrutiny to enter the royal castle, and even the deer beast, the head of the Wang Du's interrogation post, could not help.
"Who is it?
I was stopped by a werewolf beast who was a gatekeeper.
Just keep coming to the royal castle, I can't say it's a sightseeing.
See Meldy, who was behind me chills.
"Yeah, we'll take care of it from here."
Meldy gets out in front of me.
"Hmm? ─ What, this smell!!"
Wolf beast man surprised by something.
That, me, did it stink?
Meldy took the hood when she was thinking about it.
"Dear Merdy!
A wolf beast man knelt before Meldy.
Good.
Apparently I didn't stink.
You know, this reaction from the gatekeeper... I knew Meldy was royal or something, right?
"I knew your father had fallen with a curse, and he came back. I was wondering if you could let me in the castle?
"Of course you are!
...... yeah. I knew Meldy was a princess, right?
'Cause you're the king who was cursed, aren't you?
Calling that my father is definitely your daughter.
Before I knew it, you were letting princesses from other countries dress in maid clothes to serve...
Sorry, Meldy.
Then bestiers.
With that in mind, I followed the Wolf Beast Man with Meldy to a room protected by multiple soldiers.
All the soldiers poked their knees in front of Meldy when the Wolf Orc announced Meldy's return.
And we go into the room.
In the bed surrounded by physician-like beasts, a large beast man of the temporal body slept.
"Father!
Meldy ran under the beast man.
"Father, we're here. Meldie, you know what I mean?
Tears abound from Meldy's eyes.
I stand a little behind Meldy and check on the beast man sleeping in bed.
There was a black pattern floating all over his body.
Maybe it's a black death curse.
The black death curse is a form of curse that leads to death, only a small black pattern appears at first, but gradually the pattern spreads throughout the body.
Whenever the pattern spreads, the pain runs as if he was stabbed with a nail all over his body.
And when your whole body turns black in about a month, you die.
By the way, dying of a black death curse depends on aptitude, but it can be demonic or demonic by saying demons (...) fall (...) chi (...).
Also, because this curse has a certain connection with the surgeon, there is no other way to break the curse than for the surgeon to decurse or defeat the surgeon.
"Meldy, is that it?
I hear a weak voice.
Looks like the sleeping beast man woke up.
"Father!
"... only you didn't want to see such weakness"
"I don't care."
"But he came back often. I'm a little embarrassed that I was cursed, I couldn't get enough of it... sorry."
Red letterbirds can fly in about two days if they are between Glendale and Bestier.
But it was today that Letterbird came to Meldy. I mean, this beast man wasn't trying to let Meldy know until just two days ago, while the curse was going on so far.
"But you can't when you're weak. I really missed you the last time. Honestly, I didn't think I'd make it."
"Don't say the last thing. Because of this, Hart brought me here."
That's what Meldy looks back at me for.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Hart-Elnor."
"People... what kind of friends are you with Meldy?
I was stared at with a gaze that I didn't think was weak by the curse.
Is this what it feels like to ask a father to give you a daughter? I'm a little scared.
"I'm an alumni of the School of Magic."
I tried my best to pretend to be calm and answered that.
"Oh well, did Meldy go into the School of Magic? So you're Meldy's friend."
Somehow, this beast man looks relieved, too.
And the word friend was emphasised.
If you found out you were letting Meldy wear made-up clothes at my mansion to serve you, wouldn't you be angry?
"─ ─ Whew!
Suddenly, the beast man lying down suffered out.
The overall pattern widens slightly.
"Your Majesty! Be careful!
"No, I can't stop the curse progression"
"Hey, hit the pain killer fast!
The doctors around him rush out.
However, where I applied the analgesic, the pain of the black death curse does not draw, nor does the heel (healing magic) make sense.
The Beast King endured a few minutes of pain and managed to hold it up, but perhaps if the pattern spread twice more, it would lead to death.
"Hurt, we'll do anything. So... I want you to help my father."
Meldy begged me with no tears.
If I can help, I want to help.
But breaking the black death curse is usually impossible.
─ Yes, Pu (...) Tong (...) is.
Hopefully, that's the way I would never want to do it if it were normal, but I know how I can break any curse other than the curse of the status-fixed evil god.
"Meldy, you said you'd do anything, right?
I confirmed Meldy's will.
Meldy listened to me and gave me a slightly bewildered look, but she did nod.
