Master’s Smile

Episode 230: The Beginning of the Invasion

The door opens with rattling noises.

Um... the knock...

But for the child who came in, that doesn't seem to matter.

Litter, in a simple knight, looked around the room with Kyoro Kyoro.

Yeah? What's wrong?

"... in the good smell of the master, there is a mixture of strange smells. Odor."

Ritter distorts his brow uncomfortably as he snorts with Sunsung.

I was wondering if you smelled weird?

Remill, although it smelled very good......

"I smell it again. Kun Kun......"

When Ritter thought he'd hugged me, he pressed his nose against his body and started sniffing like a dog.

Ku, I want you to stop because it tickles me......

So, what can I do for you, Litter?

Today is a very visiting day. Though I'm glad.

But I have to go to Coolin, where Limill left me...

"Coolin? I don't care. … more than that, I want you to follow me to the master"

Yeah... he said he didn't care about his people...

But I don't know if Ritter would like me to follow him... but I feel like he's become a popular person.

I'm glad, but I figured it was muscle to go to the first coolin 'place I came to...

"Mmm...... But even if I go to Coolin's now, I don't think I'll see the master."

Ritter looks up at me with no expression.

Huh? Really?

"Yeah. That might have a little something to do with it too...... So I want you to follow me. Nina is calling."

I'm surprised by the name of the person who came out of Ritter's mouth.

Nina. It is the name of a man who is now Queen of the Kingdom of Evan.

I used to be a little involved when she was still a princess, but I was completely alienated from it.

Well, he's the monarch of a country, and I'm the master of a dark guild that can be described as a criminal organization. There's no way we can interact.

I can't believe she's calling me like that... What the hell is going on?

"The truth is, Nina should come, not the master. But you said you had no choice, and you'd follow me?

Litter peeps in a sorry and shunny manner.

No, the Master of the Dark Alliance calling the Queen... I don't think the outside world is going to be a bad place.

I don't mind going out at all, but is Anato biting about this too?

Hmmm...... I'm sorry about Coolin, but I think we should go with the litter first.

It's impossible for Queen Nina to summon me, unless there's so much to it.

And that Anato is acknowledging it again.

"Thanks"

When I snorted, Litter smiled happily and took my hand and walked out.

"It's kind of funny the moment I'm gone."

Whew!?

All of a sudden, my voice startles me.

I looked at the source of the sound and found out that was the pendant.

Ri, a rimil...... It's bad for your heart when you call me all of a sudden.

"Haha! Sorry, sorry. But that sounds really interesting. I'm looking forward to it too."

Apparently, Remill is enjoying this situation over the pendant.

Totally...... make it seem fun when you have nothing to do with it......

I laughed unconsciously at her attitude. [M]

…… Now I see signs of annoyance... "

A litter that moves your eyes with a kyoro kyoro.

... it still seems like it would be better to introduce Limill to them a little later.

Ritter takes me through the royal castle.

Hino... this is where the Dark Alliance Master shouldn't come...

I freak out when the different knights will attack me. Though he smiles on the table.

But behind such worries, the distinct knights pay a neat salute to Ritter.

... I knew this kid was awesome.

"Here we are."

When Ritter stops in front of one door, he opens the door without any temper to know his own, and moves his hand a little cute and invites me.

Around the corner, it was apparently a simple office there.

And a woman, who would be the lord of this room, approached me with a grin.

"Long time no see, Master!

I return that it has been a long time. [M]

This man is Queen Nina of the Kingdom of Evan.

If I hadn't known you a while ago, I would never have met you.

But I didn't expect you to be greeted so friendly......

You know I'm the master of the Dark Alliance...

"No, that surprised me. I can't believe the master was the guild master of the worst dark guild, The Army of Salvation (Yerkchilla), which destroyed that infamous Iron Queen."

Queen Nina turns her jittery eyes to me.

Ugh... sorry I seem to have deceived you.

I had a connection to the Dark Alliance. If I could, I might be dragged down the Queen's throne, wouldn't I?

... But when did you get two noisy names for being the worst dark guild?

I don't think that's such a bad place.

"Ha, I trusted you. Seems I only have a litter right now."

"Nina."

See her as Ritter blames her.

"Heh heh, it's a joke. It's been a long time since I've seen you, so I've been floating around a little too. The master has helped me a lot, and I know that character is kind.... Except for that esesister."

I'm glad you said that.

Though I didn't think so, all of a sudden I'd turn into a leopard and call the knights to get me... for God's sake, I'd be shocked.

... Do you mean Anato?

Well, because you believe in such a monstrous religion as mastery, which would not be in any way spreading to the public. I want you to stop.

"I know."

Litter's one of us, so I don't snort.

"No, it's nothing. More than that, I need to explain why I called my master."

Yes, that's why I came here before I went looking for Coolin.

What the hell happened to a monarch of a country calling me?

Queen Nina vanished her ever flamboyant expression and told her with a strong expression.

"The Demon King's Army has declared war against the Kingdom of Evan"

I'm a little surprised. [M]

Speaking of demon kings, surely Vasuil demon kingdom...... was it?

It is precisely a nation that can be described as the enemy of mankind, a nation of demons very hostile to mankind, which has waged intense wars many times in the past.

Ugh... I'm scared of being human too...

"It's not just the Kingdom of Evan, either. for all the nations of humanity in the neighborhood or vicinity."

Queen Nina said it was unlikely, but I wasn't so surprised to live long in vain and know the past.

That country is going to wage war against almost every country.

Well, the former Demon King Army was devastated.

Or is this demon king's army pretty powerful, too?

Humanity is totally bound!... even if it doesn't, with some military cooperation, we can defeat it?

"Their military power is amazing, and it's not going to work. There have been no wars between states these days, and most of the countries that needed a lot of money had shrinking policies. A small country bordering the demon kingdom is already on the verge of doom."

Well, this time the Demon King's Army seems pretty powerful too.

Demon King's army is a lot of hits these days......

Although it is annoying to mankind.

"But we can't just watch, either. If we're declared war too, we have to move."

Yeah, even if I could tell.

Even if we do not intervene militarily here, sooner or later the Demon King's Army will attack the Kingdom of Evan as well.

If the Demon King's Army is human, they'll attack anyway.

It's impossible to imagine they wouldn't have attacked us without attacking us.

"So we decided to send soldiers too... and I want the master to join us there"

Queen Nina looks up to me as she begs. [M]

... I see, that's what you came for.
