A few days after the black moon appeared.

There was disturbing air flowing in the southern Midgard federal capital, Monocanus.

"… the report is above"

"Good luck."

I finished listening to my men while sitting in front of the desk.

I, Alfred Culél, entrusted with the protection of Monocanus, is struggling to quell civil unrest while letting his men gather information.

The information coming together was all bad.

At the same time as the emergence of the black moon, things increased around Monocanus. Some demons have never been seen around here before, he said. There were also reports that native demons were increasing their power.

The Adventurer Alliance and the Grand Duke of Culver are now working together to crusade the demons, and this is even a decent achievement.

I don't know how much demons have grown stronger and more varied, but the Culver family has a lot of powerful fighting power around me, Julia, and Steph. If there's a demon out there that an adventurer or a soldier on the end can't handle, I, Julia or Steph can just go out and defeat it. I often leave it to Julia or Steph, who is the head of the defense, because I'm not going to get to the front very lightly either. Some of the other subordinates are of a high level, as well as the magic props developed by Edgar and Mr. Alphesia. The artillery squad, led by Dwarf princess Zijarak, that Edgar helped, was also helping to exorcise the demons.

Monocanus and the protection of the streets leading to Monocanus can be said to be complete.

The problem is other regions.

There have been examples of powerful demons appearing in areas where so far there has been little demons, even with little damage.

From Monocanus, we're sending out the Dragon Knights, and they're hitting a major attack, but it's going to take a lot of time between the discovery of the demon and the launch.

The small settlements are also beginning to show examples of evacuation to large nearby cities, as well as problems between city dwellers and evacuees.

"According to a report left by Edgar, a demon-led battleship on the moon was about to be robbed by a presence that restored information on the reincarnator Kizaki Tool..."

The news of the Edgars on their way to the moon remains unknown at best.

I don't even know why the moon was dyed black.

Alphesia, the original elf who seems to be able to explain the situation, is also missing with Edgar.

"Edgar failed...... things are going slowly. If he simply loses, by now the world will be in secondary control."

I put my arms together. [M]

"Perhaps the battle is still going on. Win or lose is never there yet. However, Edgar is now at a disadvantage, and the moon is black because of it, and the demons are activated. From the west comes the people who call themselves elf elementalists, bragging about the end of the world..."

So far, the elf elementalists have not succeeded in convincing their citizens.

I don't even know where it came from, it's a bunch of suspicious winds. No matter how eagerly you preach the end of the world, few people will deal with it properly.

Most importantly, if there are more demons under the influence of the black moon ahead, it is not necessarily that those affected by their words and deeds will not come out.

"The black moon, you were getting bigger. From the knowledge of astronomy taught by Edgar, it is unlikely that the moon will grow. Because that black moon is different from the moon we normally call it."

In the black moon, he says, he can't find anything like a crater, he's just smeared black with even his top.

Luranus, the original moon, is disappearing at the same time as the emergence of the black moon.

If there was a demon-led battleship on the moon, it would mean that something happened to the demon-led battleship on the moon and that black moon appeared.

"Speaking of the usual, he's a genius who really worries his parents,"

I sigh heavily. [M]

Is Edgar in that black moon?

Jeremiah and Asura, who are adopted by the Culver family, are among them.

Mr Melvi the Fairy, Mr Alphesia the Original Elf and, according to further reports, even the Fallen Goddess, Lady Atrazenek, are with us.

"That's all there is to it, and it's hard to even think of it as defeated"

Or is it just something I don't want to think about?

Second, that kind of suspicion plugs in.

I shook my head with momentum.

"Even in" Yata-glass. "He always does big things without saying no. Let's believe it's the same thing this time."

For example:

"All I can do is protect where they're coming from."

When I nod, I go to the pile of paperwork piled high on my desk.

The budgets, materials, and personnel needed for defense everywhere… all should be lacking, but the plan David sent me was perfect.

Higher mathematics was used to estimate the probability of demons appearing and calculate the optimal placement.

Following that plan, Berhardt is accompanied by the Dragon Knights and dawn on the crusade of demons.

Chester seems to be flying around as an adventurer, too.

I'll make it, my boys are excellent.

"Edgar, I won't forgive you if you don't make it back safely."

That's what I say to my son, wherever he may be, and I immerse myself in a fight with paperwork.

"Ma'am Julia, they say it's an abandoned village with a dragon's nest. No one lives here now."

"You mean you can do it ~. Got it. Chant omitted," Flame Storm "

In response to Steph's report, I unleashed the magic of a flaming whirlwind that burned down a wide area.

Abandoned villages of demons can be seen from the high hills.

I was concerned that there were survivors, but that no one originally lived there.

The Flame Storm (Firestorm) was a trump card in my adventurer days, but it has become more of a weak category in the magic that I can use now.

By special training with you, Edgar, I - Julia Curlevel - am dramatically stretching the power of magic.

The Firestorm burns down an abandoned village.

In the dancing flames, the shadows of the demons roll around and eventually stop moving.

But...

"Is that it? You survived."

The dragon sitting in the back of the abandoned village seemed to have barely outdone my Firestorm.

Though his whole body is coal, he probably prevented a strong dragon scale from burning down to his body.

"Did you add or subtract too much? But even if you do too much, the terrain will change."

The river is close around here.

If you use very flashy magic, the terrain may change and the river may snake or the river's water resources may move.

"I'll take care of it. I'll clean it up."

"Hey. Nice to meet you."

And when he heard my reply, Stef ran out with a subdragon.

White brim on the head and maid clothes on the body. She's a girl who's grown up now, but she'll always be an unbearable girl.

If Edgar was here, he'd be rude to say, "Girls aren't old enough," etc.

(While my child, I don't get it. Girls are girls forever. Oh)

Even Edgar has a boyish personality, as opposed to being reincarnated and living a second life.

Edgar-kun seems to tickle his craving for asylum when he looks at Steph, but on the contrary, even Steph says he feels craving for asylum when he looks at Edgar-kun.

There was also a strange obedience.

While I was thinking about not being nervous, Steph was fleshy on the subdragon.

Boneless Great Sword cuttings scrape the ground.

"So hey, ahhh!

A magical sword is slashed up, and the forelegs of the dragon are torn asunder.

The screaming and nodding subdragon's neck is slashed off with a sword returned by Steph's great sword.

Stef's sword doesn't even have subdragon blood on it.

Steph returns to me with as much momentum as he goes when he restarts his great sword on his back.

"It's over."

"Good luck."

Me and Steph exchange high touches.

Over the past few days, me and Steph have been acting in pairs.

If you hear that a powerful demon has appeared, crusade for it instantly.

For travel, Edgar and Alphesia use a prototype Magi Jeep.

A slightly rough path would be a great way to break through at your leisure. Fuel is fine if I supply the MP.

"So let's go next."

Me and Steph get in the jeep.

While I was running the MP and activating the jeep, Stef said.

"Is Bo okay..."

Originally, Steph was made exclusively by Edgar Kun.

I wish I could have taken you, Edgar left Steph concerned about this protection.

Most importantly, Edgar was right to make the decision given the great outbreak of demons happening on the continent today.

"Edgar will be fine."

I assure you so.

"Why, is it? Watching that black moon makes me nervous..."

"There's no reason. I just don't think Edgar's gonna lose."

It's a certainty that comes from the depths of your heart.

There is no basis.

But the more unsubstantiated certainty like this, the better it hits me since I was an adventurer.

I say as I run my jeep.

"My guess, Edgar isn't in this world right now."

"What... what do you mean?

Steph rides himself out and asks.

"If Edgar's over here, I don't think he's gonna let anything like a big demon outbreak happen. But the fact that it's happening means Edgar's in a place where he can't interfere this way, where he fights his enemies. Precisely, I'm ready to fight. I think so."

"Duh, how can you say that?

"If you're already fighting, you'll see a change in the black moon, too. It's slowly getting bigger now, but it's not, and it's weird if you don't get bigger or smaller. So I think Edgar's in a little pause somewhere, getting ready for the next fight."

Yeah, I'm talking and getting organized.

I think you're absolutely right.

If you're fighting, there's gotta be a change, so Edgar-kun's showdown is coming.

"So, are you okay..."

"Edgar, you'll be fine."

That's what I told Steph, who looked anxious.

"I'll be back safely, without missing anyone. Edgar knows exactly how to fight his enemies and protect his people. Be sure to accomplish it and come back."

I wonder why. Anxiety does not come to me.

"We have to do our job."

"Yes, ma'am"

A jeep with me and Steph on board runs down the street.

A black moon visible day and night floats in the sky in front of the street.

"Oh, I wish my magic had arrived"

"Exactly. I can't do that, ma'am"

Stef laughs bitterly.

"But it's okay because Edgar went. More certain than I will, Edgar will do something about it."

The jeep swings with cancer and cuts the words.

"Having kids is a good thing."

"Oh, really?

"I feel sorry for Steph, too. Edgar, one or two of my daughters-in-law, can't care less to make it."

"Well, I'm a maid of honor."

Jeep conversations are light.

When I get back to Monocanus, Al must be glittering with paperwork with a difficult face.

It's cute in places like that, but I think we could use some more help.

I want to hug Al, who will be cute as a girl in the bed at night, full of strength.

"After all, I think love is where we're going. Edgar knows a lot about love. So, I'm sure it's okay. You can't beat someone who doesn't know love."

"So, hey..."

I grinned softly and bitterly at Steph, who nodded with a face I did not know.
