The person Populus respectfully bowed his head to is neither a person nor an organism.

It was a huge mass of magic that leaked light from the back wall of the Great Capitol, its interior.

'I apologize if I made you think it was ugly. You're right, I can't move out of here right now - did you understand why I greeted you earlier, indiscreetly, with my body?

All I could do was look up at it stunned.

Unlike humans, the Demon Clan is no stranger to being a neat creature.

But that which emits light in front of you and emits a voice that reaches directly into your head is not very much, but it does not seem like an organism.

The unfamiliar garnets seemed more suspicious of my eyes than they were of mine, as did the brave Ethel, who should have had quite a bit of experience.

Only Dustin remains calm among us.

"Have you lost your flesh for any reason? One of the demon kings I talked to had a similar appearance. The magic pressure was too different then..."

Dustin shrugs with admin Fraxinus and looking forward to the glow.

I heard about it and changed my perception that it was not just an uncommon phenomenon and decided to get my mind back on it and start negotiations.

It may be a natural reaction to surprise me, but I'm behind you until I've done what I have to do.

"Administrator Fraxinus. I would like to negotiate as a representative on the ground."

'Of course it is. That's why I called you here. "

There are two main negotiations to be held from the White Wolf Knights.

One is a request for information about the Demon King's Army because he thinks he has escaped into deep space.

The other is that they want to be allowed to use this neutral city of Athlopolis as an exploratory hub for adventurers.

Naturally, this is more than a negotiation. It is not a one-sided push to demand, but a premise of listening to the other hope in return.

We will first convey this hope, ask Fraxinus to present the conditions we thought would be commensurate with it, and if we feel disproportionate, we will explore room for each other to change the conditions - and now we are at a stage where we have taken a first step towards doing so.

'We cannot accept the first request more than we have neutrality. But if, after filing an application with us, we ask the residents to cooperate, we won't stop it either. "

"... ok. At the time I was first offered the three conditions, I didn't think this was possible."

'To observe, is there such a thing as an indulgence against forces on the ground? Looks like you're in a tough spot too. "

Fraxinus sees the background through me, and I laugh unintentionally.

This request was requested by the Golden Tooth Knights on the assumption that they might not pass but would give it a try.

In the meantime, I tried to bring back the response that I had left only the suggestion and still couldn't.

'The second request is not a bluff. We would have refused if we were to fight with the Demon King's army as a stronghold, but if the direct purpose was to explore it, we wouldn't have to.'

"Even if the results of exploration are conducive to the battle against the Demon King's Army...?

'Acceptable. Not just you, but all races and forces are staying on the same terms. But...'

Administrator Fraxinus cut the words once by surprise.

Are you thinking about it, or are you watching our reaction?

Her complexion is grainy and difficult to read her thoughts because she can't even see her figure.

'… in order to benefit from this town, it is necessary to undertake service activities to keep the city safe and neutral. That's what you said earlier.'

"Yes, and if it's hard to accept, you can just reject it and leave town,"

"The content of the contribution can vary from time to time, but in principle you will be obliged according to the magnitude of each margin"

Concentrate your consciousness so that you don't miss hearing every word of it, anticipating what you will be told.

'Not hunted down and fled, but fully prepared and visiting earthly humans… I would like to ask you, who are here now, to accept them as guests and to share in the benefits of the town'

"It's... what?

I was still in the mood for it.

Poking too great a demand on those who have rolled into neutral cities for a variety of reasons will undoubtedly not be able to achieve it first.

Conversely, if you make too light a demand on people who have plenty of room, it can cause dissatisfaction that people who can't afford it are unfair.

Thinking about it, with a peaceful and stable base called Green Hollow, it's no surprise that we're being pushed with the heavy demands we deserve.

"It's been a long time since light was lost from this hierarchy, and people's hearts continue to be disturbed by anxiety and fear. However, I cannot help but focus on the maintenance and protection of this town and can't come up with a radical response. So... you guys took (...) light (...) and went back (...) to (...) (...) (...) (...) (...) (...)

- No matter how much, such a demand was unexpected.

"Hey...... wait a minute! I can't believe you put the ceiling back together...!

"... well...! [Repair], Skills......!

Behind me in a hurry, the noir shouts out without any foretaste.

Noir, however, was silenced by the simultaneous gaze from everyone on this occasion, and Hild, who instead perceived the intention, took over the explanation.

"If the 'morning' was lost due to the failure of the light-emitting function of the ceiling in the underground space, we may be able to restore it with Captain Luke's [restoration] skills. That's what I'm saying."

"... no, wait a minute. What the hell do you think it is? My personal magic is the limit of a house, and even if I use magic crystals, how much do I need to gather..."

I have spent more than a year with my evolved [repair] skills.

That is why I am familiar with the limitations at the moment, and I also understand that the [restoration] of the entire ceiling of the underground space is unrealistic.

This guy is a matter of pure energy resources.

No matter how high the skill performance is, whether it can work extensively depends solely on the amount of magic that can be infused.

And my possession of magic itself remains crowded, no matter how evolved my skills are.

"Don't worry about it. We have analyzed where there are failures in the system. The site has been transformed into a nest of the warcraft Fenrirwolf, but we will also send our forces here '

"I mean, after that, I just need to go to the site and [repair] it while I leave Fenrill Wolf..."

'Rest in the city until you leave. The acceptance of adventurers comes after the achievement of the contribution, but you are already guests here. Please heal the fatigue of your journey. "

I held my forehead in a lean mood.

I even feel the escape route being carefully crushed one by one.

If you refuse a request in this fashion, I can't think of any reason other than my personal rejection.

"... ok. But if it turns out to be unrecoverable after looking at the local situation, could you change the terms to something else?"

'I don't mind. Then Lord Luke Whitewolf. I entrust this hierarchical morning to you. "

It was a suspicious burden that I could carry where I was entrusted, but I managed to swallow the weak sound and shook my neck vertically to show my willingness to accept.
