I'm just spending some time in the tower.

Because Tralzard the Demon King asked me to stay here for a while longer.

There's no reason to say no, and the inn I was staying in has already been paid off.

Seems like Master Seitley is turning a lot of hands to get rid of my existence.

"How are you?

Seitley of the day, but I'm right in front of you.

It's the third day I've finished my meeting with Tralzard.

Dispersed by patrol soldiers, Seitley may be coming.

Anything, they usually wander around the castle like this to gather information. It's serious.

By the way, this time Seitley did it. Rumors of a teacher's death.

They're hiding it from the public. The way you think is a little funny.

"I don't care how you say you are... you won't be bored. You seem to be doing better than anything else."

Seitley used the battle between me and Tralzard to impress her own death.

I'm working with you, too, so I'm in trouble if you don't make it work.

"Thanks to you, the disguise is going well. A lot of people are exploring this country, but they think I'm in the tower. Those with a good eye will realize the truth, but there is no way they can search for where they are. Some people are capable of investigating, but they're the ones who get caught up in the disguise."

Yes. I mean, he's hiding the death of a military master, which is why he's taking home information that Seitley's dead. The cover-up is a three-step arrangement.

"So when can I get out of here?

"I want you to wait a little longer. In the aftermath of His Majesty's battle, the attention of the surrounding countries is now gathering in the castle."

There are a number of countries that are uncontrolled, but are letting merchants in and out, and they say they are gathering information in this town.

When I come out of the castle now, irrelevant, it is possible that I will be associated with the battle ahead, and if I leave the castle with Kosovoso, I will be counted as having something the other way around.

He wants us to stay this way until we get less attention.

"I don't care if they say..."

I don't get any information when I'm here.

I care about my people and my country.

"I thought I'd say that, and I've got information about the country of little demon king Melvis"

"Whoa, that'll help. I just wanted to know."

This is it as soon as you state your dissatisfaction.

That's right, military master, I feel taken by the balls.

"The rise of the little demon king Kyoka is a problem that we can't ignore either."

"So, what's it like now?

"Kyoka stopped the march after breaking Farrah. Probably took the deep end."

"I see, wasn't he the one who could take him down intact... oh well. Short showdown."

Farrah the Little Demon King was also beginning to climb the stairs to the Demon King.

It is the norm to accumulate power little by little while sharpening the power of your enemies.

But by the time I heard the rumors about Kyoka, it was already after I defeated Farrah.

Why did you do such a hurry? Farrah's has Leninos.

If you neglect Kyoka, who has suddenly risen, you may temporarily join hands.

Whatever the case, Kyoka decided that it was better to make a short showdown ready for sacrifice.

But General Meralda told me that the troops we traded for our troops must have broken Leninos.

Then the country of Kyoka and my country will bump into each other?

"I guess you couldn't have marched on, keeping the momentum that beat Farrah. I think I left Farrah's land to my men and pulled the army once."

Does that mean my country is safe?

With Farrah defeated, Kyoka's ruling power would be five or six.

It is not strange that Kyoka should remain the Demon King.

But Kyoka pulled the army. This makes sense.

Maybe he took a deep hand. The injury may be mild. I don't know the area.

Kyoka just thought about it.

- I don't want to fight anyone who breaks Leninos like this.

It's a reasonable decision. As long as you're not so dumb, I will.

If you lose, you lose everything.

Besides, the opponent is the one who broke Leninos.

I guess I went into collecting information about healing wounds because I was in danger of losing myself too.

If this is the case, I guess I'll be in Kokan for a while.

"Which country do you think is in crisis right now?

They said that... but where is it?

Aren't all the little demon kingdoms around here feeling in crisis?

"The purpose of Kyoka is to become the Demon King, so if the wounds heal, it will always be war with the Little Demon Kingdom"

"That's right. It should have been a dispute between Leninos and Farrah, but both Leninos and Farrah were killed. All that's left is Kyoka and the unidentified. And it's more than just a Leninos threat."

I'm actually under General Meralda's command.

Now it's something that lent me a pretty powerful one.

Probably an adjunct to the general or something.

"When it comes to the actions that little demon kingdoms take...... war?

"I like to guess. The surrounding Little Demon kingdom is feeling threatened. The country of Krulu, the country of Rous, the country of Lubanga and the country of Nakti joined hands. We have attacked the land of Melvis."

"War with four countries at a time?

"I guess that's all the little demon kingdoms are pushed for. And this war, the country of Melvis just destroyed one little demon kingdom, and Kyoka will be attacked by healing, whether the wounds heal or not. There's no way you're sitting there and watching Melvis' country empower you."

On the way to another country's offense, I will have to take Kyoka's army from behind.

Just because you've been attacked, it's dangerous to take troops to the other country.

You can't attack one country at a time, especially for swallowing.

Now that Kyoka has drawn to his country, must we do something about it?

But it was the troops borrowed from General Melarda who butchered Leninos.

One day I will return to my country.

Are you sorry you defeated Leninos in the first place?

Well, what kind of contract is it?

War with four countries with Kyoka in the back?

Is it too much?

"... or my country, packed?

"Yes, as it were."

"... are you serious"

Right.

It sucks to protect or strike out.

What army of borrowers is the strongest of the forces...

I don't know if it's a good idea.
