Next Life

The name of King Holdia Asteria was notorious enough in the upper echelons of foreign countries to stand alongside demons, but he had a pretty good reputation in the country.

Destroyed the evil and treacherous aristocrats who were squeezing heavy taxes from the people, and put their wealth on the rich countries.

He applied a competent and trustworthy civilian who had never been exposed to light because of the nobles, and gave him great authority and a salary commensurate with it.

The National Assembly was also inaugurated to imitate Mithra and hear the voice of the people.

Those who were also capable and trustworthy of slavery were set free and impartially in place.

Taxes were also reduced to please decent merchants and citizens.

Civilians have been busy and have been unable to return home for days, but the allegedly dying civilian forces are rapidly recovering, and Asteria is becoming hailed as the "light of hope that has torn Holdia's darkness apart".

Unfortunately, they could not even afford to imagine about the people of other countries suffered by the Holdian army.

Until the other day, they were the subject of abuse and suffering.

Isabella was brewing tea in such an asteria.

"Ah-chan. You made tea?

"Oh. Thank you, Bella"

When we're alone, we call each other by our childhood names.

Even the samurai like Mireille, Banessa and Annette would have been left out of the tender look Asteria gave Isabella.

Only this time she decides to take off the queen's mask.

"So, is a man named Marius that strong?

"Oh. It's out of my hands. It may not even be in the hands of the Demon King."

Isabella was surprised by Asteria's rare and weak attitude.

My dear friend she knows is always confident, kind, and doesn't break her strong posture.

"If you're that strong, what we've done has been futile...?

It's not a waste.

Asteria summarily dispelled her friend's doubts and anxieties.

"Make the sacrifice even less. It makes a lot of sense."

Isabella pointed her mouth in dissatisfaction against her confidently out-of-the-box friend.

"Ah-chan. I figured it out on my own. Just weird things to say. We're all unhappy, aren't we?

"I know. But thanks to you, you'd have been barely on guard, wouldn't you?

Asteria smiles badly at people.

"There's a crazy princess who wants something," he said, smashing her quickly because the nobles thought and were alarmed.

"... well, I'm sorry about the people who don't believe you."

Isabella probably admits it.

There was a time when Asteria didn't even cover it up.

Tindalos the Evil God and the Demon King were all brought back to life, and mankind did not seek to believe in anything but Isabella's possibility of annihilation.

The weakness of Asteria's skills lies in her inability to provide clear evidence.

It was not until after that that that the common name "Mad Princess" became famous.

It's hard to say that even Mireille, Banessa, Ignato and Annette, who were murdered by the demons, fully believe.

At best, it's "undeniable what's possible".

It is Asteria's heart, by the way, to try to save humanity, but it is also her nature not to quit stone the whole fatherland for that matter.

That's why we only revealed it to Marius, who hasn't established trust from around us.

If you have revealed it poorly, you have been beheaded with a truncated head stand.

"Marius has made me completely unpredictable... but I want you to be ready. 'Cause it looks like Mithra, Balshark and Vester are coming together and attacking us."

"If it's anything, it's an easy win..."

"Hate, it's premature. Marius seems to have a heavier back than I thought."

The conversation continues even if a third party hears about it and is unlikely to know what it is.

It was enough because we understood each other.

Marius summoned Zofi as soon as he returned to his room.

"Would you like me to call you, sir?"

Zophi responded with a sweet voice and tricks.

It's not particularly odd considering that horny demons have to give in to their minds to become submissive to the opponents they lose in bed fights and to sign a subpoena contract.

All of a sudden, tell me everything you know about the demons.

"Yes, sir."

Zofi began to reveal information about his former companions without a moment's cruise.

The head of the demons is named Rubens.

He is an ancient shrine and militant senior demon who has lived for over a thousand years, and with his strength and leadership, the demons form an organization all around.

Details are unknown, but the Dragon Demon.

The second is Alberto and Franklin.

Just like Rubens, he is a militant of ancient ginseng, and a survivor of the battle between the demon king Zagan and the brave Bernhardt, the wizard Klaus.

Alberto is a Griffon, Franklin is a Sphinx demon.

Gastark and Mergen are brothers, demons of human origin who became servants of Rubens.

Gaelic is the most famous of mankind, the Mimic Demon.

Pal is Blackaur, Rupert is Cocatrice, and Sendrick is the demon of Arlaune.

And Labella is a goblin demon.

Gaelic's "Transform" is famous for the skills they possess, but he says he's not familiar with the rest.

"I've heard that Gastark and Mergen use human magic..."

That said Zofi clouded his words.

When it comes to organizations, they don't always act together, they seem free except to respond if Rubens convenes them and to act along with them if he gives instructions.

It's hard to bind so much without being the Demon King, and Rubens doesn't seem willing to do that.

That's why Zophi doesn't have so much more information about the other demons either.

"Well no. So what's the purpose of the demons?

"The Demon King... is the resurrection of the Demon King and the evil god Tindalos"

Words came out proving Asteria was right, but Marius wasn't immediately convinced.

"Haven't you been going around long enough for that? I wish I'd just revived you."

Zophi nodded over and over just saying that she got my will on Marius' question.

"The Demon King Zagan is strict, and if he is resurrected, he will retaliate against humanity. So it seems like we should be careful what we do in the middle of nowhere."

As a sacrifice for Zagan, the human state seems to be of existential value, Marius found.

Rubens and the others are experiencing that the Demon King has been defeated by the brave and sealed, but they don't know where it was sealed.

No matter how strong the demons say they are, it is just tough for just a few to fight the armies of all the human states.

That's why he said he waited for the birth of new demons, created an organization, and then started acting.

It seems that it is a man named Rubens who has a discreet personality that does not seem like a demon.

"Rubens, if we take him down, we're out of control, right?

"Yes. Without Rubens, the rest of us will start rambling orbitlessly. So I know if I'm going to take it down, it's the last thing I need to do."

That's all a demon named Rubens is afraid of from the rest of us.

"The first thing you have to do is knock it down. I knew it was Gaelic..."

He is famous as a demon who possessed the skills to transform into a human being and created an incentive to strike a great blow to Serraeno.

"I agree that Gaelic needs to be defeated as soon as possible, but now I know Rupert and Sendric are the top priorities. They're supposed to come to Philato to revive Zagan."

"... let's not say that sooner"

"Sorry"

Zofi bowed her head deeply.

"Where is Zagan's seal?

"Yes, this is the land we humans call Naruto Lake."

It was the land where Marius was reincarnated.

I decided to hurry even though I felt unnatural and creepy about the odd code.

"All right, let's say no to His Majesty and leave"

Marius asked what bothered him when he was about to walk out.

"Hey, don't the demons have bases? If you have it, I think you can raid it and cat it all at once."

Zofi answers the natural question with a look of sorry.

"Unfortunately, there is nothing like that. Every time Rubens does, he just calls it in. Anything. Something about being attacked by a brave man once."

Marius learned that greatness also turns into time and in some cases resentment.

When Marius said, "I'm going on a bit of a demon king crusade," Bernhardt III demanded an explanation of the situation with a suspicious face.

When explained, I gave permission while stretching my expression.

If it is true, it is a crisis of continental survival, rather than a fillato.

What kind of roundabout, Burra happened to come and offered to accompany him when he asked what was going on.

"If we become demon kings, we are enemies of mankind as a whole. We should be united across nations and races to hit it."

It was a good point of view, but the question is whether or not to keep your feet together.

The demon opponent would be able to calculate it as a force of war.

I sensed such a Marius stray so brilliantly that Barra...

"Let me help Master Marius preserve some of his magic. When the Demon King is resurrected, we will do everything in our power to escape."

So he reassured not only Marius, but also the fatherland.

With Zophi there too, maybe the Demon Wars can be a little easier, Marius thought.

I can't predict how much effort it will take in the Zagan battle, so it's true that I want to keep my strength if I can keep it warm at all.

"With that said, how strong are Rupert and Sendrick?

If it's a strong enemy, it won't be a good idea to let Bhara fight.

"You're above me in simple combat. For now, if you think I'm considerably stronger than Zamuel."

Those who listened to the conversation of the chief said, "What's the most important thing now? I thought," but no one put it in my mouth.

Because the questioner is Marius.

"Me, you've done it. I'll still stop it."

I assumed Marius cared about me. Barra offered to resign with regret.

I calculated and said that working with the Zophis and the others would make Marius easier, and I didn't mean to be just a foot clump.

"No, it's okay. Let's go together."

Marius said to take it for granted because he was anxious about the lack of a human sense of crisis in this world.

I asked Barra to accompany me to make me realize the possibility of the demon king's resurrection and to tell my surroundings.

Either way, she is the princess of a country, and she is quite powerful.

It would be much more convincing than Marius and Zofi would just say.

"Uh, but don't bother..."

As for Barra, I have a reluctance to Marius, which I love.

Marius said to reassure such a girl.

"You will be protected by me."

The surroundings were impressed with the masculine language, and Barra struggled to keep her maiden heart from appearing in her reliance.

Although Marius felt he had flagged something, he self-completes "That's how much you're used to being told," because the other person is the princess of a country.

By the way, I've already noticed you have a thing for Burra.

I don't know how to react, so I'm pretending I'm not sure.

In the meantime, the demons just have to hit it with full gear, and if Zofi's out there, it'll be all right.

Because if Marius had the right view, Barra would have the strength to defend herself even against demons.

When fighting the Demon King, you just have to force him to transfer.

That is how Marius concluded, but there were those who could not be excused.

These people insisted on something very decent: you can't put princesses and goodwill ambassadors in danger.

It has nothing to do with Marius' strength, and Barra's participation in the battle against demons and demon kings is unacceptable in itself.

This claim was rejected by Bhara herself.

"This is the one who wanted friendship with Fillato. Nonetheless, can you imitate shamelessly, such as watching the Fillato people run into danger?

There was no one who could argue.

No matter what anyone thinks, the most powerful Lanreo in Philato is Barra.

There is no need to be Barra, no danger to Marius, or any doubt about sincerity.

Thus "Zagan and the Demon Crusaders" were added and set off.
