Next Life

The Tariant continent was exposed to many attacks by demons and demon kings, which greatly depopulated it.

Balshark and Vester have collapsed, and Mithra is on the verge of doing so, with refugees occurring.

Still, there's a big reason we're keeping order.

"The return of Melinda" is called, because there is Marius.

It is a living legend that destroyed Zagan the Demon King, Decarabia, destroyed millions of Demon armies and also defeated Aulanis the most powerful Demon King.

And he finally becomes the lord who governs the former Berganda region, naming Marius, the "autonomous Tuban" lord.

There are still things to resolve and develop to name the "state", so we decided to name "autonomy" for a moment.

People were finding hope behind such Marius, and one magnificent man says:

"It's not all bad. You're lucky to be living in the same time as someone like that."

His son said in tune with his father.

"I'm sure you'll all be jealous."

Everyone has similar opinions and is cautiously proud to say, "The Turiant inhabited by Master Marius".

That's why the Tuban Autonomy was particularly popular, so much so that Marius issued a "restrictive immigration order".

It is difficult to feed even with a growing population.

There is not a lot of food that can be earned on its own, and it also takes money and time to import from countries.

Marius thinks that if we can introduce metastatic magic, we can solve the problem of time, but everyone opposed us and disappeared with dew.

It can also be said that Marius does nothing but strike out the direction of the territory in the end.

"I'm willing to work."

Marius was foolish with Aulanis, Sophia, Iris, Zophi, Al and Elle.

"But they say no with warm eyes."

"Don't do what you can't do, ha-ha."

It was Aulanis who frankly crushed Marius' claim.

Zofi, Al, and El look sympathetic or comforting to me, but the Aulanis and the others don't have such a brother-in-law.

Sophia and Iris, etc. seem annoying somewhere.

"Don't tell me not to do my job. You can fight me without thinking about it, right?

"No."

"Yep."

Rejected by Marius instantly, Aulanis fumbles.

"Ma, Ta, Ka"

"I would promise to look for Orihalcon and Hihiiro Ore before we fight"

To the unhappy Demon King, Marius points out the example.

"I'm not good at what I'm looking for."

"... I'm sure you'd have been more comfortable with it."

Marius feels dizzy about Aulanis, who has just mentioned something further.

And when I asked my men with my eyes, "Is this always the case," Sophia answered with her eyes, "Exactly."

It appears that an enemy named Weakness appeared before Marius.

When I dropped my disappointing shoulder, Aulanis looked at Zofi.

"You, aren't you a little stronger than you saw before?

I guess I should say that the acumen around here is just fine.

"I'm a succubus. The more your husband loves you, the stronger you become."

Zofi doesn't turn a blind eye to her Aulanis opponent, she strains her chest.

Aulanis, who heard the answer, looked at Sophia in surprise.

"What? Was a succubus such a skill?

"Yes. Didn't you know?

Sophia didn't even know Aulanis didn't know.

Listening to the reply of his trusted men, Aulanis clapped his hand and regretted it.

"Shit! You shouldn't have murdered the Succubus!

"No, I don't think the Demon King was born anyway because it depends on the person being held."

Sophia calmly points out.

That's what I knew it was all about, so when I rammed around and killed the succubus, I didn't say anything.

(Even if it looks common sense, I'm Aulanis' man.)

Marius gets a glimpse of Sophia's nature and gets slightly disappointed.

I thought you were going to make a good stop.

I can't help but mourn, so I'll get back to it.

"It's the Hihiro Ore that's in trouble, isn't it? It's rare, and the smelting method is too special."

When Marius says so, Aulanis agrees.

"Sure. I don't remember seeing any hyiro ore that wasn't smelted either."

But Sophia said something unexpected.

"What are you talking about? Hihiro Ore should be on the tracks of the Soworm continent."

Marius did not know, but is the name of a continent that was once annihilated by Aulanis.

"Huh? Really?

What surprised me more than anyone was Aulanice herself.

"Yes, there would have been a few small stone-like things that kept the prototype in place in Lady Aulanice's attack, wouldn't there?

Aulanis and Iris hang their necks on Sophia's words.

"Was there such a thing?

"I don't remember either"

Sophia turned to Marius as she sighed.

"It would be possible for you to transfer and bring it home."

"Right."

However, if it's like this one, the person reading the memory should be Sofia.

I can see that "psychometry" is something I don't remember in person, but it takes a while to find it.

Resistance to magic slips through and is unsuitable for use in high Aulanis.

When Marius says so, Sophia agrees with two replies.

"I don't think I can say I'm magically resistant, either."

If you're a Demon King, it's natural to have magical resistance, and vampires themselves are a highly magical species in the first place.

It takes an extra second or so compared to other humans when I try it.

(That's the Demon King.)

That's Marius' honest feeling.

It's this much time because Sofia was cooperative, and if it was hostile, it would have taken more time.

It's hard to predict when Marius has finished reading, and Al calls out.

"My husband, I have a simple question, you didn't use reading mind magic during the battle, did you? I think it's better to use it to carry the battle in your favor."

"You know what?"

In fact, it was also validated in the game age.

There were quite a few players who wanted to give it a try, as comics, novels, etc. often portrayed very powerful enemies who could read their minds.

But it will prove almost meaningless after losing so much.

The stronger the enemy, the better at serial attacks, and the harder that hand magic works.

I never found anything worth purposefully using.

Those who wanted to play like that were about to use it against miscellaneous fish monster opponents.

Alongside his "arithmetic" skills, he was at the top of the waste rankings.

That said, you can't say that.

Explain while choosing words.

"The Demon King is highly resistant to magic, because he's going to make a series of attacks, and he's going to fight back with spinal cord reflexes and stuff. It's safer and more efficient to avoid attacking, defending, and dodging that effort."

"Is that what it is"

Al gave a vague look like he was convinced, like he couldn't.

That's where Aulanis comes in to talk.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be able to tap into a juggernaut and Brewnak combo in my spare time using such magic."

"Yes, it is."

"Ha, ha"

Aulanis said it was different convincing and Al nodded.

There were no further questions, so Marius takes Aulanis on a transfer magic trip to the Sawerm Continental Trail.

Something like a pompous black mass over the great sea plains was seen from the high sky.

(Is that Hihiro Ore?)

Hihiro ore turns scarlet when smelted, but before smelting it is dark and only looks like a thin, dirty stone.

Just in case, check with the Appraisal Magic "Appraisal".

Slowly lower altitude because I found it real.

They say the only reason Hihiro ore remains untouched is because there are a number of intense vortexes in the surrounding ocean that cannot be reached by boat.

It is Sophia's assumption that there are only a limited number of people with the power to travel between continents, and that none of them possessed knowledge of Hihiro ore.

It is expected that it will be difficult to carry the usual magic because it will be bounced back, but that is why I brought Aulanis.

"Then please."

Nodding at Marius' words, Aulanis attempts to lower altitude until the sea level is rinsed and lift a mass of black stone.

If Auranice's arm strength, it's not much of a handful that her legs aren't about the ground.

Marius thought so, and Aulanis herself agreed, but the object could easily be lifted without her being able to help.

"Is that it? Marius, it was easy to hold, huh?

"Is that it?"

Marius looked it up, and it simply seems that the Hihiiro ore was on top of the rock bed.

Nonetheless, seeing where he wasn't exposed to the waves, Aulanis probably has great arm strength.

Marius wasn't willing to at least give it a try on the ocean.

Maybe that's why the "weight" was also left out, I thought.

And can't Aulanice's attacks break to the ocean plates?

"Let's just go back"

"Whoa!"

After returning, Aulanis puts it on the floor unconstitutionally.

Zofi, who noticed the two of them, comes to Marius' side.

"Your husband. Now, Catherine, there's been a report that someone is wishing for the street."

"Princess Catherine?

I decided to meet Boltner's young princess as she wondered what she wanted.

The adorable girl shows up in front of Marius with a small bouquet of flowers.

"Congratulations on completing your new home"

"Thank you for your kindness."

I should have had a tougher courtesy, but it's hard for Marius.

Catherine said that there was only royalty who could go all the way, and she had snagged Marius.

After the formal interaction, Catherine looked at Aulanis as a chill, mostly, and turned to Marius for help.

"Oh, you know. That one, too, could it be Aulanis?

"Yes, it is."

Marius affirms somewhere tired.

Aulanis was casually and intriguingly looking at Catherine's entire body to make her feel uncomfortable.

And open your mouth.

"You look like the most promising thing I've ever seen."

"Huh?"

Katherine doesn't fully understand what she's been told, and puts her neck up.

The others who understood only looked frightened, but Marius had to be stopped from doing so.

"Weigh yourself in. Her Royal Highness Catherine is irrelevant."

"What are you talking about?

Faster than Aulanis opened his mouth, Catherine asked Marius.

We can't just leave the party alone, Marius replies.

"No, this guy loves being strong. Now they're saying we should work out even if we're weak."

"Uh, from Aulanis, does that mean I can be strong?

"Exactly!

Aulanis breaks in.

"I don't mind how you muscle, how you carry your feet, and how little you waste. There's less magic, but quality is good, and this is good again."

The praised Catherine was bewildered, but eventually nodded cocklessly.

"Um, can you be strong enough to protect me, Master Marius?

"Hey, Your Highness Catherine?

Aulanis ignores Marius, who is confused.

"Well, you won't be able to do the same as Marius. It just seems like you won't be able to fight the Demon King."

"Ho, is that true!

Catherine smiled sunny and hurried Marius.

"Your Highness Catherine, that's just a little"

As for Boltner, there may be no problem with ex-post consent, but arbitrariness will still be poor.

When Marius tried so hard to stop him by herself, she opened the door and Barra appeared.

"How about me, Mr. Aulanis? Can you be strong?

"Whoa, you're in the realm of a hero one step ahead. There's still going to be a stretch."

"Well, I beg you, too"

"Wait a minute Cora, Bura!?"

Barra shows an uncut face to Marius' words, whose reluctance disappeared only to his wife opponent.

"'Cause I hate it when I just let you fight and hope you're safe from where you're safe"

And I shook my husband's hand, which was stubborn and rigid.

"Fight shoulder to shoulder with you, I'm not going to tell you, but I want to lighten your burden,"

No heart or eyes are moisturizing.

"Hey, can't you? Is it annoying that you want to help?

Aulanis laughed at Marius for not being able to say anything.

"You lost, Marius."

Marius dropped his shoulder disappointingly, but sees Elle piercing his silence in resentment.

"Elle, you gotta help me."

The summoner, who was supposed to shine at times like this, answered snugly.

"I agree that your husband's burden will be reduced."

"Can you make an effort to reduce my hard work first?

Marius got slightly murky, while Elle says cool everywhere.

"Temporary labor and burden in the long run. Which would you prefer if you were to reduce it?

"... in the latter, please"

Marius finally surrendered.

I can't complain about the fact that I only have two choices.

Marius understands that if Elle has any other options because of her personality, she will show them properly.

"Uh, I mean, you can train me and Master Burra together, right?

"Yeah. We have to get King Boltner's permission before we do that. And look for someone who can smell the Hihiro Ore."

Is it a luxury to think that it was much easier to just defeat the Demon King?

There was an autonomous lord who worried quite seriously.
