Alihara Kite came into contact with a god beast that was lurking in the ruins of Orochi.

After the news was conveyed by the sleepwalking adventurer, the castle was temporarily in a state of confusion.

It was also a big problem that Kate, the valiant servant, was captured, but more than that, it was a problem that no one noticed that the beast of God, which had never been confirmed before, existed in this country near the city where I was moving as queen.

"... you're not a bad god beast. What a distant word....."

Without sending troops, the case was resolved and Kite returned, but the information he provided was somewhat vague.

“Silver Snake Dragon Medullarium”

A god beast in the form of a girl named Melia sought the use of a pure demon named Kite.

In view of his qualities, I heard it was something else, but Kite herself didn't seem to understand it.

"... what should I do?"

Did you really make peace with that Medullarium?

If you were acting, would you come to this kingdom to forcibly take Kite away?

——— But what kind of damage is expected if the beast becomes violent?

It is unlikely but not zero.

Above all, as queen of this country, we must always think of the worst.

"You're starting to look like a queen. Jessica"

"Hmm!?"

Behind me, suppressing my forehead and sighing loudly, I hear someone's voice.

Looking back with her shoulders trembling at the voice, there is a woman leaning back against the wall by the window.

Looking at the reddish purple hair gradually exposed in the moonlight, I calm down while holding back my chest.

"Me, Merck...."

"Merck is fine. We've been friends since you were a little girl."

"It was over ten years ago, that's all."

---Melk, the mistress who runs a small lodging in this country where I can rule as queen.

Normally, I wouldn't be able to enter my private room, the queen of this country, without authorization, but this is not the only one.

"I already do my duty as queen."

She was also a god beast who looked the same as Medurium.

A covenant with my ancestors has kept me here - and at the same time she is the greatest secret the royal family of the Hendir kingdom has ever conveyed.

"You're still crying, but you're embarrassing me."

"How do you know!?"

"You don't have to look at it. You won't change no matter how old you are."

She shrugs her shoulders in astonishment, and she is as human as ever.

A god beast that has melted into people and spent a long time.

That's her.

"... hah, why are you here now?"

"I was hoping to ask you something. That's why I'm here."

I cut out a story for her that I haven't seen in a long time while I regain my calm.

"... why did you miss the catch on to Kite?"

Merck looks at us with his arms tied to the question.

I thought she'd handle some kind of anomaly, and I should've told her secretly... that Kite got caught.

She can't possibly not notice that.

You didn't have to help me.

"... he was dying?"

"The Rifa and the others are dying. He had no intention of harming Kite."

I didn't mean to hurt you...

It's true that Kite said that, but what happened at the ruins seemed to me to have been a series of deaths, to put it mildly.

"In the first place, half of the reason why he took Kite was to satisfy his own desires, but the other half was purely to worry about Kite."

"Is it for his own good to lock him up?"

"Quite simply, yes. Oh, don't get me wrong. That's not why you guys are right to lock Kite up. He's under the protection of a god beast, and hiding even his existence on top of it is a condition to“ lock him up. "

So, did Medullarium try to lock Kite in the basement and keep her away from interference from anyone?

"Medullarium... what kind of god beast is Melia? Is it dangerous?"

"He's more dangerous than dangerous. As far as I know, it basically targets everyone. If he doesn't interfere badly, it's harmless, but if he cares, the continent will be destroyed in about three days."

"... Mi, three days!?"

"Simply big."

As soon as possible, I can't imagine.

It's not the scale I can manage.

"... there seems to be something going on in the St. Real."

"? Yes, there is a meeting to summon brave men from all over the world."

It's like confirming the abilities of a brave man, how talented he is, and finally face-to-face.

Answering sudden questions, Merck puts his arms together to think.

"The St. Real will ask for Kite's company."

"... why?"

Why are you asking the St. Real to escort Kite?

Merck continues to open his mouth to me who is curious and concerned.

"Because there are beasts in the St. Real."

"Hah!?"

It raises an unusual voice of surprise in unexpected words.

After all, it would be strange not to be surprised.

Because god beasts have nothing to do with humans.

"Apart from you, there is a god beast that has blended into human life!?"

"I don't know what she looks like right now. But unlike me, he has a purpose, and he seems to be in the St. Real, so you should be careful."

Don't they think you're a freak, because there's a beast?

Only the royal family will know about Merck, and it's confidential...

"Could you tell me if you could?"

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

Gu, moaning around thinking.

CENTREAL - A city that distributes Warrior Summoning Ceremonies to all kingdoms to summon Warriors.

It is said that the power it possesses is comparable to that of a great power, and in fact it was crushed against the recent march of the giant beast with the greatest combat power in mankind, the Black Adventurer.

I can't believe there's a god beast in such a mysterious place...

"Is it true that the Black Adventurer of the St. Real?"

An out-of-standard warrior who killed the Giant Beast the other day and quickly defeated even the Demon King Army executives.

There is also a precedent in front of you, and it is possible that the Beast of God is becoming an adventurer and waving his power...

Saana

"Don't you have a community of gods and beasts!? Exchange information!"

"Ready? We're basically not close. Ferrihert is better, but he's just the weather."

The story of the poor relationship between gods and beasts is too scary.

It would have been a miracle if I hadn't fought with some kind of applause before.

Anyway...

"... we should hurry up and talk about sharing Hendill and the Philgen Servant."

I cannot refuse a request from the St. Real.

They are so influential that when they summon the Warrior using the Warrior Summoning Ceremony, they must comply with the request.

"I can't believe this is happening...."

I realised once again that he and Merck existed when Rifa offered to stay at Merck's hotel.

I couldn't allow her to stay in an ordinary inn - not to mention a place with an old boy - but knowing that there was Merck in the inn, I decided to leave the referee with her.

As a result, she was able to get a partner with a good understander.

Above all, it was possible for us to have a kite that would compensate for the shortcomings of a slightly missing leaf.

"... did Kate come to your inn with you on purpose?"

Hmm, I feel like my voice is lowered by overwhelming speculation.

Merck smiled bitterly at me, relaxing his shoulders.

"No? It's just a coincidence that an idiot sitting at home brought it in. To be honest, I was more surprised to see the Aura of the Pure Demon of Gold for the first time in centuries."

"Really?"

"Ah... but it's also true that I had nostalgic feelings. Just like the previous Lord, I feel lucky."

... there's no point in lying here.

In the first place, there is no doubt that this person is even troublesome to lie to.

Sighing and convincing.

"My role is only to see. That's why I cooked normally without undue interference and fed them.... well, it's something I like to do."

"I used to be an adventurer for a while, so I could help you."

"It was almost a hundred years ago. No more adventurers."

Well, I just heard from my grandmother.

How powerful is this person?

I'm interested, but let's just imagine what she's doing spontaneously, because something terrible is going on.

"... is there anything else you want to ask me? Then I'll go home because I have plans for tomorrow."

"Yeah, I'm done. Thank you."

Ah.

That's why I waved my hand at Merck, who turned his back to me, and then I poured water into an empty glass on the table to moisturize his throat.

"Oh, I forgot to mention one thing. I've been afraid to hide it, but the Rifa is mixed with the blood of the Beast."

"Bufuu!?"

"I'll leave that to Kite. Goodbye."

"Hey, hey! Don't wait..."

Looking back at Merck as she sprayed water from her mouth, she was nowhere to be found anymore.

All I could see was the untouched windows and the city lights of the Hendir kingdom.

... the last thing I said was outrageous.

It's a troublesome act to be questioned...

"It really doesn't change... that guy..."

I wonder if there are many people who are basically selfish.

With that in mind, I moaned with my forehead down.
