Nankoufuraku no Maoujou e Youkoso

Time goes back to after the interview.

"Ha ha! I didn't expect to hire an adventurer anymore! Is that you? You have to surprise people on a regular basis. Is it even a curse hanging?

Me and the Demon King are walking side by side in the dungeon.

Even though it was a dungeon, it was a staff-only corridor, heading all the way to the Demon King's office.

She looks more fun than surprised and in a good mood.

She looks like a toddler. Crimson hair and eyes. A pair of horns extending from the side head is deep black. Long, hairy hair, tied in two today. Length that is tied in a high position but still usually seems to reach the ground.

But he was fluffy with mysterious powers. Is it wind magic?

"Such a thing..."

By the way, where there's no one else, there's still a staff tone in the hallway.

"I don't mind if you decide. But being an adventurer is no different than being a collaborator. It's not accessible anywhere, is it?

We cannot allow the transfer and use of all facilities, the story says.

"I understand."

Neither will Ellie and the others complain of dissatisfaction. On the contrary, I think I'd be more angry to say I'm free. That's like saying they don't deserve vigilance.

Sooner or later, challenging Demon King Castle is the adventurer's goal.

To the demons there, it would only be humiliating to think that it was not a threat.

"I'll leave the disclosure to your discretion, but you're strong nonetheless. Enemies in your nostalgia, etc."

"I thought they were allies in this Reid attack."

"But back to the enemy. It is possible to see the tenth level of activity up close. Isn't that valuable information to give me a short-term job?

…………

I understand what the Demon King is saying.

Is Ellie and the others getting information here commensurate with their cooperation and their value?

For example, if you do not dispose of the person knowingly as a spy. We think we can make a bigger profit by letting them swim, so we come to that decision.

Things are different, but that's what you're trying to say.

Is the benefit gained by putting the adventurer inside enough to meditate on the loss?

"Sure, there's no denying there's a mix of personal feelings"

[Black Demon Instructor] and [White Demon Instructor]. A party that fills four of the five with misadventures [Title (Job)].

Hope that their activity will make a difference in the adventurer industry.

As Lily's activity has allowed and actually increased the number of elf adventurers, little by little.

[Black Demon Instructor] and [White Demon Instructor] also think it would be very good if the idea was to adopt them because they are useful before plain times.

But.

"But there's no problem."

"Right. Mind if I ask why?

Except for Ellie's credibility that she won't be collecting information in the back.

"My tenth tier is not sweet enough for a rat to sniff around."

How the tenth tier works itself will be revealed in the Battle of Reid.

What Ellie and the others can find out is enough to be one of the officials. Character or tendency? What do you like? What do you hate? In short, it's private information.

I'm not saying that won't help either, but you won't lose the fight with that.

Other than that, it is a matter of access rights, which cannot be transferred in the first place. Other hierarchies, etc.

"Huh. Fine. Assuming there's a problem..."

"Yeah, this lemmegeton will take care of it responsibly."

"That's enough if you ask. I can't talk about the rest anymore, do what you want."

Ni, and the Demon King hoisted one side of his lips.

"Ha."

While we're talking about that, I'll go to the Demon King's office.

This is the only metastatic recording stone that leads to the dungeon core.

Shortly before entering the room, I felt my gaze and looked at the corner of the hallway.

There was the devil in the swallow tail suit - [The Devil of Time] Mr. Agarez.

... I'm sure they told you not to come about the Demon King or something.

He looks at me with great regret.

"... Demon King"

"Ignore it."

"But"

The Demon King, ha and one sigh.

"... at all. Agarez. I want to eat that one for the rest. It's a special pudding from" The Honey and the Bear ". By the time you get back, our story will be over - have you gone yet?"

"Honeybees and Bears" should have been the name of a coffee shop behind Demon King Castle. Some products, like pudding and cake, cater for takeaways.

Mr. Agarez vanished in an instant in order to fulfill the wishes of the beloved Demon King.

"That's too worrying. Trouble replacing my boss's guardian."

Instead of being a dangerous person, Mr. Agarez must be worried about Lucy, the demon king who encourages dungeon management at a young age and with a different purpose from his father.

The Demon King is depressed in his mouth too, but his expression is soothing.

Okay, let's go.

We then entered the office of the Demon King, touching and transferring the recording stone installed in a small room spread across the hidden door behind the bookshelf.

"This is..."

It's a vast space. The walls, floors and ceilings are built of something shiny black.

At its centre, the protagonist was grandly seated.

Light glow, octahedron. That's clear as glass, big anyway.

Huge enough to look up. That's the dungeon core.

If you look closely, the core is intertwined with something like countless tubes.

"This is the dungeon core"

I take a mask and stare at the core. The more my neck hurts, the bigger I finally look up, the bigger I can see the ends.

"Wouldn't that be the first time you've seen it?

"Yes, it's amazing...... rolling"

It's not released, but I can see there's magic inside.

A mysterious device that supports the dungeon. Ultra-technology that allows us to draw magic from the world and create magical spaces.

"Speaking of which, don't you ask?

"? What,?

"'Aren't you going to help the world with the dungeon core? It's what humans often say."

Can't you use the magic produced by dungeon cores to consume them in people's lives?

This has been said for a long time and has not been achieved until today.

"Isn't that impossible?

There's no way that a lot of smart people would ever think of even ordinary people coming up with something.

If it has still not materialized, it should be considered that there is a reason why it did not.

The number of dungeons is too high to consider that there is a strong opposition and it fails...... For example, someone was forced to dominate the dungeon and use the core... what a story there seems to be.

If it's available, though.

To my answer, the Demon King nodded contentedly.

"Exactly. The magic of the dungeon core cannot be used for purposes other than maintaining and developing the dungeon. Precisely, the magic that the core has drawn on spreads when it is brought out of the dungeon."

There is, for example, a demon stone.

It is a convenient stone that can accumulate magic and cannot be viewed on video boards (TVs) or connected to computers (nets) without this. Demonic stones are also essential for the operation of a range of other products called demonic motives, such as refrigerators and vacuum cleaners.

This has the nature of absorbing the surrounding magic and accumulating it, but if you leave it in the living room or something, it will fill up on its own, which is not so easy.

Do you think we need to leave it in a highly magical area for a long time?

Everyone comes up with the idea of unlocking the magic of the dungeon core and accumulating magic in massive amounts of demon stones, but does that make the magic inside disappear when you go outside?

That doesn't make it a very good sell. If you are in a dungeon, the supply from the core does not have to pass through the demon stone, so you do not need the demon stone.

... I wonder if it was a function to keep the core's magic from being taken away, even if we lost.

Core was made when people and demons were enemies, so it's a full story.

Who created something like this...... No, are they the only ones?

The same race of now doomed illusions that created the magic fixture.

Then it will be the same as magic equipment, and no one will be able to create a new core. Isn't that what prevents the appearance of a non-functional core that can't be brought out there?

But why would the Demon King take me at this time... no way?

"Sounds like you got a guess. I want you to absorb core magic."

"... wait. The 'amount' of magic is certainly impeccable. But the Horn of the Demon is not able to absorb the magic outside. Isn't that right?

"Oh, there's no error in that perception. But we've already talked about this, haven't we? I couldn't master the rest or the man."

The master could do it, but neither his son nor his grandson could. No, I don't know what will happen in the future because Mr. Lucy is still too young, but at least he's [Demon King], so it's not a skill to wear.

But if you could have done it to your master.

It's not impossible. It may be infinitely close to impossible, but zero and one are still different.

If it's possible, even if it's as good as a grain of sand.

"Fortunately, the Battle of Reid takes place at Demon King Castle. You won't have to worry about going outside and losing your magic. What do we do?"

The answer is fixed.

"I'll do it"

"Good answer."

Um, the Demon King nods.

"... So, what do I do?

"That's an explanation first. There are several things that can capture the magic outside. So is the core, and fairies and spirits are famous."

I did think that if I could master the abilities of fairies and spirits. Anyone with a wizard [position (job)] must have thought about it once.

Even if you admire fish swimming in the ocean, it's the same way that a human (normal) can't breathe.

It is not a technology, but a difference in the features provided, so it cannot be reproduced.

"Ghosts have the ability to convert food into regenerative abilities and strength. Demons accumulate magic in horns, purifying and densifying. Absorption or conversion of energy is not in itself a rare ability"

"Yes..."

"Only demons are said to be able to meet the abilities of fairies and spirits"

"Is it because horns have the function of capturing magic?

Having inherited the Horn of the Demon King, I am no longer a pure human (normal).

That's why we have a chance...?

"Dear Left, but not as easy as you say with your mouth"

That's right. If it was easy, there would be more of them. There are about three of us in the world, which is too little. How difficult the road is.

Pouring magic into the corners is like throwing a bucket into a well and putting the pumped water in another vessel. Nothing is difficult. degree of fatigue depending on the amount and number of times.

But what happens when it becomes an extracorporeal magic?

If you can... that's it.

Grab the fog with your hand and try to store water in the vessel, like.

Still, we have to do it.

"I'm sorry, but I still can't coach you. Instead, let's give you permission to transfer to this room."

She's not mastering herself.

Even if you just lend me a great place to train, I'd appreciate more than enough.

"Thank you"

I approach the core.

Same as the master's training.

Workout until you can.

Trial and error and find your own right path.

Same thing they tell me to be another creature. It's a rough road.

But if you still need it to win, I'll put it on.

I said I could do it to all kinds of people. I won't lie about it.

And I reached for the core.
