Maou Gun Saikyou no Majutsushi wa Ningen datta

Hostile inspection.

Leaving Giron, Oak's staff officer, I left the city of Ivaris with Satti.

Giron said, "Don't you stand out in that appearance?

And I've been suggesting modestly, but I'll slash and throw it away.

"Just get close to the city and it'll magically change"

Giron still insisted that such a mission, should be left to his men, but I still had something to check with my own eyes.

- That was before the building, and one of the aims was to take Satti outside, who had hardly ever been out of the city.

And then, for the first time in a long time, I can take off this cramped robe and mask.

I still feel extinguished wearing the same robe and mask for days.

Physically but also mentally.

Sometimes it wasn't a bad option to take off your mask and stretch your feathers for a day.

Me and Satti went into the back of the woods, used magic there and dug a big hole when we made sure Giron was no longer visible.

Bury "The Robe of the Immortal King and the Mask of the Horn" and "The Staff of the Circular Snake (Uroboros)" there.

For once, magically explore the surroundings and make sure there are no humans or demons nearby.

It's also difficult to find out who you are, but it's more difficult for others to take this gear away from you.

This equipment is my lifeline at the same time that my grandfather left me.

Filling the gear with soil creation magic left the forest behind.

We headed for the capital of the Kingdom of Rosalia, the king's capital, Reese.

The kingdom of Rosalia, almost in the centre of the continent, known as one of the leading ranks on the continent, is now invaded by the Demon King's Army and occupies half of the national territory.

It's the capital of such a country, so it wasn't as enthusiastic as it was at its peak, but there were still many people.

No, maybe more people than usual because it's a time of war.

I saw mercenaries flowing from other countries, knights with the crests of other countries, various figures.

"After all, was it true that the King's Alliance was formed"

"Is it the King's Alliance?

Satti asks modestly.

"It is an ancient covenant that, in the event of an affair, abolishes interests between nations."

"I don't know what's hard for Sati"

"The point is, if the Demon King's Army attacks, stop fighting and let's alliance."

"I see, that means uniting against the Demon King's Army."

"Exactly. This covenant has been activated three times in the past. Each time, the demon king's army was repelled and hunted down to Dbolberg on the eastern edge"

"... will that happen again this time?

"What are you worried about? Aren't you human? If the Demon King retreats, you will be free."

I said it as a joke, but Sati shakes her head sadly.

"The child of slavery is a slave for life. If Lord Ike dumps me, I will be like the children there."

If you look, there was an iron plaid carriage running on the boulevard.

The goods that are loaded therein shall not be objects.

"… if you are going to be the same slave, say on Lord Ike's side"

………………

When I was silent for a while, I chose words.

"... don't worry. I don't tread the same. The Demon King today has the strongest power and wisdom of all time demon kings, it is said. Now it's time to defeat both humans."

That's the word I said to free the girl from worry, but I was surprised to say it myself.

Is that it? With that said, what am I up to?

and -.

In the first place, I was human.

He was also a complete man in this other world, although in previous life.

He was supposed to be on the human side in the mood, but in fact, he worked as a brigade leader for the Demon King's Army.

Why not?

And ask yourself.

Is it for my grandfather?

My grandfather, the immortal king Ronberg, is a benefactor who raised me despite being human and even taught me how to fight.

There was a natural desire to reward the favor.

Not that I owe the Demons anything, but at least I owe them.

That's what I thought.

I've fought to this day to repay that debt, but what lies ahead?

My mind and body are human beings.

Meanwhile, the parents of the upbringing are demons.

I don't want both of them to fight if possible.

But the reality is that humans, as well as demons, are constantly contending with each other.

Get along better now, whatever it is, it won't be possible.

Then the only way to destroy one side or the other was the idea shared by the demons and humans.

There was no such thing as coexistence.

But not now.

Lord Dyrocuten, the present Demon King, is a man with memories of his previous life.

And I have one too.

If the Demon King's Army dominates the world as it is, could there also be coexistence with humans?

That's what I feel.

Quiet for a while.

………………

The daughter beside me, Satie.

Coincidentally, she's the daughter I picked up on a whim, but since I picked her up, she reminds me once again that I'm human.

"... Totally, I picked up my elusive daughter"

I started spending time with this girl, and I had to think about something I didn't have to think about before.

………………

Perhaps because of his silence for a long time, Satti has peered this way with a strange face.

"Sir, what's wrong?

He had eyes like he was worried from the bottom of his heart.

When I escaped that gaze, I gave Sati my orders.

"Our purpose is to conduct hostile inspections. Let's go."

When I said that, I headed to the market.

†

"Wow, Master, what is this?

Satti asks, pointing to the fruits of the South.

"It's a fruit called orange."

I think so.

At least it won't be nectar.

"So what's that big one?

"What is that..., is it Marutai?

Is that so?

Ask the merchant.

"This is cheese from the Farse kingdom. As it ages, it turns brown around like a whole tree."

"I see. Can I try it?

The merchant

"Heh."

And, head down.

Get the cut off from the cheese tree.

Mouth it.

"Hmm..."

"Uh..."

I hear me and Satie got a similar look at the same time.

Apparently the merchant assumed that, too.

"Well, this is still extremely elegant when you get used to it."

And I laughed.

Whether in the modern world or in different worlds, fermented foods can be tight if you are not used to the land for many years.

Japanese don't like blue cheese so that natto doesn't suit foreigners.

Fine locals when they start to think the fermented foods of the land are good, which seems to be common in different worlds.

But if you let me try it, I'll buy it because of the sad nature of my past life's memory, and I say, "Do you want to make it a souvenir to Giron?"

and gave the merchant a silver coin.

"Every time."

The merchant smiles with a commercial smile.

By the way, I gave it more than the market to get information from this merchant.

Since ancient times, a guy named Merchant is better at information than any other job title.

"This market seems lively, but is there something?

The merchant saw this one for a moment, but just didn't seem to think I belonged to the Demon King's Army.

I started talking to her like she might just be a peer.

"No, sir, I'm sure you know, but you know that the King's Alliance has been activated, right?

"I don't know any specific information, but that's what I'm asking"

"Precisely, they're currently entering the stage of making covenants and packing conditions in the Imperial Empire Capital, but before that, it looks like there's a story going up about rewarding the Demon King's Army with one arrow, mainly the knights of Rosalia..."

"I see, that's why the merchants are so well?

"What does that mean?

Satti asks.

"In other words, before the King's Alliance is formed, I want to make a painful blow to the Demon King's Army and declare that it is here in the Kingdom of Rosalia. That will give you an advantage in the King's Council, and will give you more say after the war."

"I see, nobles think of things and act on them."

"I intend to keep you company."

No, I think it's a beating.

"Now that half of the regular army is devastated and half of the national territory is occupied, it is a lower policy in the process of counter-attack. If we lose, we may still occupy the King's capital, and even if we don't, Rosalia's position within the League of Kings will suck."

"I see, you're absolutely right"

The merchant says in a fluent tone.

"You're a nerve-free guy. The last disobedience you said could end in failure."

"Well, that's when. Even if it fails, I hope the King's Alliance is formed before Leesas is occupied. Then this is where the Alliance of Kings is based. It makes business sense."

"What if the Demon King's Army ruled you before that?

"That's fine. I hear that the Demon King now is ruthless but not cruel. Plus, you'll eat pork with the Demons, and cheese on top of bread will be a pedigree you'll want to put on. Honestly, it's a war in the diaspora, it doesn't really matter."

I see, the Demon King's reputation has reached the end of the human race.

Resistance and rebellion on the part of humans are minimized still seems to be largely due to the ruling policy of the Demon King.

Once again, I bought the minimum supplies I needed and headed back to Everlise.

The knights of Rosalia are about to launch their final counter-attack.

One of its frontlines was surely Ivaris.

I never went over there to get ready for the war now.
