Living in this World with Cut & Paste

Episode 151: In the Royal Palace (4)

"Now, Mine... did you say it was a powerful piece of information on the Demon Nation? Can you tell me what Master Yorumungand told me?

The king and his brother-in-law are staring at me with serious eyes.

I guess you're not leaving a word out of my mouth and trying to hear it. [M]

"... uh"

That the king of the demon kingdom has already destroyed some of the surrounding countries by replacing them.

Having captured many human beings as slaves and taken them away to the demonic kingdom.

I've actually seen the scene where the Demons are raiding the town... and Hume-like figures are joining the Demons in the raid.

Master Yorumungand also told me only a great deal, so I will only briefly tell you what I have heard.

"What? He said there was a fume... What do you mean?

"... I don't know, Master Yormungand was flying far above. Just..."

"... just? Hey, what's up? If you have any concerns, keep talking."

"He's a fume-like figure, but there's a verse that I noticed flying far above.

If I didn't have any skills, I'd never know... "

Yes, that time... that man did look at me and laugh. I was definitely aware of my presence.

If you don't have skills like my [vision enhancement/medium], there's no way you can confirm it.

"Some kind of skill? What, you didn't [appraise]?

"... Mr. Yorumungand's travel speed was too fast, and he passed that area before using [appraisal]."

Yes, I regret that I was unable to [appraise] at that time.

Somehow, the time will come to fight that guy... I have a feeling about that.

"Hmm, well. Sure, the guy, don't worry about it."

Your brother-in-law puts his hand on his chin and starts thinking.

"Are you sure you're a Hume?... I don't care how much you look at it from a distance, I can judge you."

The king asks me so. [M]

"Uh-huh, I can't say absolutely when they say that... but it looked human"

When I answer that, the king starts thinking with his hands on his chin like his brother-in-law.

I don't care, but I think it's the parents and the kids. Yeah, and with that said, Sylphi does this trick a lot too, right?

"This is a possibility, but isn't the man... the demon who was leading the demon clan?

The king speaks to us unexpectedly.

Demon? Oh, yeah. It's about the demon kingdom, I guess there's a race that says demon people.

"Only once in the past, I... No, our party has fought demons before."

In the first place, we Hume don't really understand the information of the Demon Nation rather than the Demon Nation.

Because there is not enough interaction at all.

The details of what species there are and how they live with demons and demons (such as orcs and goblins) are completely mysterious.

Such mysterious demons and kings have fought before.

"What I saw was that demon?

"I think it's possible. In the first place, there's no way the demons can surround Fumes and act together.

You've never crossed the line to consider the possibility of a demon. Don't say that demons have strange abilities besides their skills.

Maybe it was the ability to find you in the sky. "

Well, I didn't know that then, so I thought it was Hume...

If it is true that a war of aggression involving the demonic kingdom is involved, it is not surprising that there are demons among the demonic tribes that are spiritual soldiers as commanders.

Perhaps the King is right in his thoughts.

"Anyway, now from the reports from the Adventurer Guild and from the story of Mine now, there will be no mistake that the Demon Nation has started a war of aggression.

My kingdom of Augusta has no imminent threat due to its distance problems, but it will be necessary to consider some countermeasures at this time. "

"Father, I thought... Cleo, how will the Grand Duchy of Cleo work...?

Yeah? I've got a name for a country I've never heard of...

As soon as the king heard the name too, he would look like he had chewed up a bitter worm.

"... I don't know, it's probably about them, they don't do a lot of things."

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

The story of the demonic kingdom, which is likely to develop into a major problem in the future, is over, and we decided to relax over tea. The topic is moving to the moving door again.

"But you were amazed at that door in Mine. I did mention it, but I really didn't think I could."

The king spoke to me like that in a good mood.

The drawback is the unquestionable fact about the usefulness of what has been found.

"Is there any use for it at the moment..."

When your brother-in-law said that, all of a sudden, Aerie stood up and spoke to us.

"Father, I spoke to you about my (my) participation in my brother-in-law's clan, but I'd like to ask you again."

Oh, well. Apparently, Aerie has not yet obtained permission for the King and Queen, his brother-in-law, which is a condition I gave her?

He hasn't said anything since, so I was wondering what happened...

Sure, Sylphie followed me this time to see how Aerie was doing, right?

Well, my king...... what conclusions do we draw?

"As I said before, even though how much Mine, Silfi, and Aisha are there, it's not always possible to follow them? Just in case something happens to you. Give it up."

That's the answer you expected, isn't it? From a parent's point of view, I would only be anxious to keep my daughter, who is not feeling well, out of sight for a long time.

"Father, can I have a moment?

Hmm? What the hell is Silfi? Are you going to take Aerie's side?

Sure, it seemed like I'd been talking to Airy a lot earlier...

"This is the" door ”my husband made, but I wonder if using this would solve Airy's problem. Instead of living in Lucas, I wonder if my father would feel safe going from the royal palace every day... what do you think?

... I see. Come here early and take a bath to replenish your magic and spend the day, and when it's time again, can you stay well after you return if you replenish your magic with a bath?

It would be tough to say that I would come and go with the Royal Palace and Lucas in a carriage, but if I were to use my moving door, I would feel like I could manage it every day.

"Mmm... no, you can't. When there's an emergency, if there's no one around who understands this door, it'll end up the same way."

"Mmm, Father... I'm stubborn"

No, I know how Aerie feels, but the king is worried about you, because I'm telling you, so I'm not stubborn, stubborn...

"Then what about having your maid Kate accompany you?

Silfi makes that suggestion. Maid Kate? I wonder who......

Hey, you mean the usual maid? But you have to stay in the clan house the whole time, right? Isn't the maid busy?

"... If Kate says it's a good idea, maybe that's it..."

Your brother-in-law, who didn't pinch his mouth earlier, also seems to have begun to show interest in Silfi's proposal.

This is the battlefield and Aerie, too. Tap into the king at once.

"That's right! If Kate would come with us, there would be absolutely no problem! Father, please! Please let me join your brother-in-law's clan!!!

It's a very feverish family battle, but ku is totally out of mosquito nets when it comes to me... By the way, the fluff is over my head, and Ku is overwhelmed by me, but they both look so sleepy.

I can understand how Aerie feels and how the king feels, so that's fine if both sides have a satisfactory answer, right?

"... I know exactly what you're saying. I'll talk to Garnett. Wait till tomorrow."

In the end, even when I came home, Silfi stayed at the Royal Palace. The door I made this time was to be placed in Garnett's room on the condition that I would replace it once the new one was complete.

Since this is Master Garnett's private room, basically only the King and his family, and the maid who says Mr. Kate, enter the room. The Second Queen and His Royal Highness Lectar, who have not been awarded the "Covenant of the Divine Beast” by Master Fenrir, will not come either. There should be no problem with security for now.

... and it goes without saying that the next morning Aisha added a full smile to the sum of her family eating breakfast, Aerie and Kate in maid clothes.
