Castle City Cree Grant.

That's what the city at the westernmost end of the Central Continent was called.

Its closest proximity to the demonic realm makes it a fortress rather than a city.

Zero tourist destinations, etc.

Instead, military installations lined up, with military officials making up the majority of visitors.

We arrived in such a city.

Normally, you can't enter unless you're involved....

Face pass because Yuki is here.

Once again, I realized that he was royalty.

Well then, let's go.

I don't think it's royalty in a good way.

"Rain, what's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing. But where are you going?"

Creeland is just a destination, and I haven't heard what happens afterwards.

"Oh, I see. I'm sorry. Sorry."

"Stop being such a cat by accident."

"Accidentally cat...?"

"Don't worry about it, it's okay."

"So, which way?"

"Again, we're a small separate team.I want to use the lightness of the footwork to explore the demonic trends, apart from the large troops sent by the King. "

"Are you going to attack the city or have another purpose....."

"It's a very difficult question to judge.However, as for me, I would like to recommend the latter. "

"On what grounds?"

When asked, England talks slowly to make sure after a short time of reflection.

"As you may know, the Demons are the absolute royalty.The Demon King decides everything, and whatever it is, the Demons are absolutely obedient.I will not defy the Demon King, and I will absolutely defend and swear to the choice of the Demon King. "

In analogy, the demons resemble ants.

The queen ant is the demon king.

The other ants are the demons.

I work for the Queen, and sometimes I don't hesitate to sacrifice myself.

And absolutely obedient to orders.

"The goal of the Demon King is to eradicate humans... but you want to do it with your own hands.In fact, the Demon King used to do that. "

"Before...? You say it as if you've seen it."

"That's... a secret."

Iris puts his fingertips on his mouth, patches and winks.

Mischief Yuki's question.

……

Gray had a delicate face, so I don't know if he made it up entirely....

At the very least, it seems unlikely to be an enemy, so I'll leave it at that now.

"But now the Demon King is dormant.As long as the top can't move, I can't do anything on my own downstairs..... "

Hmm? I know what you're talking about, but isn't that strange?

"That's right. If you can't act on your own, there's no explanation for Kriosian or Northern Continent matters."

"There are people who have changed into demons.Some deviate and... rarely, but I hear that some demons don't obey the Devil. "

That's the first time I've heard that.

After all, I thought all demons were faithful servants of the Devil King.

"Well, you can assume that there are almost no such cases, so please listen to what I'm saying.Back to the story, one of Kriosians and the North Continent was triggered by some demons… Mr. Reese.Its purpose is to gather the souls necessary to awaken the Demon King.That's why you took my soul.If you think so, you can never say that you are acting against the will of the Devil. "

I see.

"So this time, it is possible to attack this city to collect souls....."

"If so, isn't it a little risky?"

Gray clasped her mouth.

I'm probably thinking the same thing, so I'll just listen to you.

"As you can see, it's no exaggeration to call this a fortress.Do you think it would be more efficient to attack another city than to attack such a place? "

"That's where I wonder, too.So maybe there's another possibility. "

"What are the possibilities?"

"I have no idea."

"It's a waste of time to talk, but after all that...."

Gray sighed with astonishment.

It's bad for England, but I can't help it.

"I think it's important to check the status quo.And what do we do now?I'm going to gather the information I need to make that decision, okay? "

"Thinking about not being able to move too flashy... an informant?"

Rain, that's right.

Yuki seems to be having some fun.

Because I'm a royal family, no one would have treated me so kindly.....

This kind of conversation might be fun.

"I'm going to talk to a national agent, and then I'm going to check on a local informant.Sometimes only locals will know. "

"Yes, I agree with that.But I don't want to spend too much time, so why don't we split up?I can't really imagine being attacked just after we arrived... and I don't think it's a problem to split up now. "

"Well, Tania is telling the right thing...."

"Rain, it seems to be raining heavily.Let's get an umbrella. "

"You guys...."

When Tania held her fist, Sola and Luna screamed and ran away.

Tania chased after those two....

I don't feel nervous, but I think that's fine.

It's better than getting weird nervous.

It might stand out, but....

Now that you have several of the most powerful species, it's already noticeable.

Let's reopen it and have fun in a way.

"Well then, Bo-chan. I'm going to the agent, so I'll ask the agent."

"Yes, I understand. I'm sure it's nothing, but just be careful."

Hee.

After we split up with Grey, we'll start with the Adventurers Guild in Creeland.

It's the same city as the fortress, but some people live here, so the Adventurers Guild exists.

If you're looking for an informant, you might want to start with the Adventurers Guild.

"Welcome... to the Creature Grant Adventurer Alliance..."

When I entered the building, I was greeted by a grotesque receptionist.

Ghost!?

The more you look at it by mistake, the bluer it becomes, the more worried it becomes.

"What... what do you think...?"

"Um... I need information, but do you know an informant?"

"An informant... ufu, fufufu..."

I suddenly smiled thinly.

I'm a little scared of this guy.

Sola and Luna are crying slightly.

"If it's information, then... let me handle it... fufu"

"I see... you're also an informant?"

"That's right. Cree Grant's best informant... Marily-chan and I... fuhihi"

Excuse me....

Isn't your cute name and personality commensurate?

No, no, no.

As a matter of fact, perhaps you'll be cheerful if you figure it out.

Don't worry about her personality and keep talking.

"What kind of information do you want...?"

"It's information about the demons. It doesn't matter if it's big or small.Can you tell me if there's anything? "

"A demon race, huh... fuhihi"

"Isn't this the demon race...?"and listened to Marilyn's words, making sure she didn't hear Luna's frightening lines.

"If it's a demon race... there's just a good story... fufu"

"Is that...?"

"Four Heavenly Kings... and a demon race with comparable powers... fuhi, have been sighted."
