The feast lasted until late at night.

I've always been exposed to the threat of stampede, but that finally solved it.

The joy was considerable, and the children were noisy together, not just the adults.

Of course, kids are juice, not booze.

There was such a feast...

And the next day.

More than half of the city's adults were stunningly hungover.

"Uh... no, no, keep your head. I can't believe I'm getting hungover... Damn it, dude."

"You just drank too much... you suck, you really have a headache. Seriously, there he is."

When I visited Mr. Kaise's hall, along the way, Mr. Resona and Mr. Al fell to the floor and were having pimples and cramps.

Looks like a fish launched ashore.

Hi, he drank too much in good shape.

The strongest species are resistant to alcohol and usually can't be hungover...

There were tons of bottles rolling around the two of them, and I thought even the strongest species would be hungover.

By the way, everyone was still asleep.

I guess I'm still sleepy because I was up late at night, although I haven't only gotten hungover like Mr. Resona and Mr. Al.

We need to talk to Mr. Kayes about the future, but we can tell everyone about it later.

So I visited Mr. Kaise by myself, so...

"Excuse me, my husband was being chased by a sudden visitor response... Sincerely, please wait here for a moment"

"Ah, yes. Okay."

It was not possible to meet Mr. Kaise immediately, but he was guided to one of the rooms.

Sit on the couch and sip the tea served.

"Mr. Kayes is busy too...... is that obvious"

After an unprecedented incident of stampede.

To rebuild the city, salvage the victims.

There is a heap of work to be done, including a review of the defence system and future measures….

I don't have any particular complaints because this is a situation where sudden work can't be helped.

It doesn't mean I'm busy, let's just relax.

"Besides, is it just right to put your thoughts together"

Various incidents kept happening and I couldn't slowly broaden my mind.

This is a good opportunity.

For once, let's sort out our thoughts.

Currently, what you need to think about, how will it work in the future? That is.

Keeping active as an adventurer is no different, but you might want to lay down a policy that is at its root.

As before, I felt a lot worse in the passive attitude of being able to contract if requested.

Why is it bad?

Because things are changing around us.

"It's such a mess..."

There are two things that concern me.

First of all, it's a demonic move.

Targeting Krios, the Demons stampeded.

Perhaps the stampede that occurred in the Horizon was also the work of that guy named Weiss.

There's no way there's another demon clan with that power... or something that I can't stop being there, so I'm pretty sure.

I can say that the purpose of targeting Krios is related to the ghost tribe...

If so, it is a mystery that the Horizon was targeted.

It's not a special city where the most powerful species coexist.

It's a normal city, like everywhere else.

... Well, the Canades, in that they have more than one of the most powerful species, may be peculiar.

"Hmm? If so, the Demons are after us?

... No, that's different too.

If they're after us, there's got to be a different way.

When it comes to crimes aimed at individuals, it's a little too much.

There's always a way out.

"Then I knew I aimed at the city itself... no. A crime aimed at the people who live there?

Weiss never threw up his purpose until the end.

Perhaps that was the only operation that mattered.

Speaking of demons thinking best, what?

"... for the Demon King."

Awaken the dormant Demon King.

With that as its primary purpose, the Demons should be moving.

Then...

Can't you think that the incident ahead is necessary to awaken the Demon King?

For example, causing stampede causes a lot of victims.

By offering their souls, you awaken the Demon King...?

"... a little different"

I don't think it's a bad line, but still the mystery remains.

Why, did you aim for Krios?

If you're going to dedicate a lot of souls, there's no ghost tribe, it's decided you'd better go for a normal city.

No.

Horizons were also targeted, so given that, isn't that a mystery?

Instead, the mystery never comes up, especially with no problem behavior...

"No, I'm getting confused"

I think too much of this, and the thought circuit is going to be short.

Abandon your thoughts for a moment.

"If we don't gather some more information, I can't tell you anything."

Recently, the movement of the Demon Nation has become more active.

I'm also concerned about Monica's words...

In the future, you should pay attention to the demonic trends.

"Speaking of Monica, don't worry about Arios"

Arios broke out at Monica's behest.

The matter is well established.

So I guess the two of them are still acting together.

And the monica turns out to be connected to the demon tribe.

When that happens, Arios is also involved with the Demons...

"No, is that early?

That's right. I don't think Arios will cooperate with the Demons either.

Perhaps they don't know the connection between Monica and the Demon Nation and are used in a good way.

Most importantly, Arios was somewhere mentally at risk these days, so he didn't necessarily change his mind and cooperate with the Demons.

"About the Demons, about Arios... it's a lot to think about."

Oh, boy, I sighed.

Including these things, I would like to consult with Mr. Kayes.

"... Speaking of which, Mr. Kayes, is it too late?

It's been quite a while, but I still don't show up.

Is it urgent and prolonged?

"Excuse me."

One woman appeared when the sound of knocking on the door with the concoction sounded.

The woman...... was wearing the 'Shield of Truth' that Arios was supposed to have.
