Our demon king is coming. (formerly Mayday A Series)

I always think that the Royal Palace of Ruskia in Miradolid, the king's capital, is a castle like a tall pile of white sugar sweets.

It is situated in the heart of a circular, metropolitan town, lined with shops for royal palaces in a glassy shopping corridor surrounding the royal palace. Once you have climbed that corridor, you will reach the large castle gate of the royal palace on the hill. Through the tree-lined roads of a neat, white tiled royal palace, you will exit to the first layer of the royal palace.

Castles like those stacked by a number of white buildings and corridors, terraces, have a role to play depending on their hierarchy.

The first tier is a hierarchy with many officials, royal magicians, knights, etc., and a noisy hierarchy with rooms and cafeterias for them.

In the second tier, the hierarchy for ministers and kings to conduct politics.

The third level and above is the hierarchy for the royal family. So in the sense of a royal palace, it goes from here to the top.

Our royal palace general magician was given a room on the third floor, just like Lily, so we got to live in a pretty high position in the royal palace.

Three floors east wing where you can exit right into the air garden.

Me and Thor are close rooms connected in the garden, but Ulysses, the prince on the boulder, lives a little further away because he is given his own ride in the royal palace. That said, it's within the same royal palace, so I can go see him right away.

But here lately he seems very busy.

Because with Sir Raymond, we are at the edge of politics.

"... hey Thor, I'm going to my country"

"Again."

I asked the samurai to use the white flowers loaded in the garden as a bouquet and visited Tor's room with it.

Thor is dressed in fine clothing with the Demonic Knight's crest.

"I want to follow you too..."

"I'm fine. And there's Lepis."

"But the King's Capital has been a mess here lately. There are many cases... if it seems to be too late, I'll pick you up."

"... don't push me. You must be pretty busy with a magic knight, huh?

"Well, the captain will catch on to me..."

There are many magicians and knights in this Ruskia, but not so many magical knights with both of those characteristics. Thor joined such a valuable Knights of Magic. Although he seems to be in the position of an advisor magic guide knight, he is doing his own low-end work.

Yeah, well, Melvis from the Duke of Bigrates joined the Demonic Knights of the Royal Palace. You're in sync with Tor.

Perhaps it's a prep for Smyrda to enter the rear palace.

Um, we are now free to enter and leave the Holy Land "Tomb of Truth” on the other side of the Patriarchate's door.

It's rather us who have that right.

After looking up at the Mosaic mural ceiling of the Patriarchate and staring at the former gods who didn't even blink, I opened a big black door.

And you're going down a long, long staircase.

Along the way, try not to look at as many floors as you can to store the murals, and move on.

Once you're through such a damp darkness, you'll encounter a refreshing, refreshing, mind-boggling air.

………

Pichon......

The sound of the Shizuku of life, falling from the great tree in the center.

………

There are eight water coffins here.

A coffin that holds the remains of the Demon King class.

But here's the body of a boy who shouldn't have been housed.

"............ Ah, it's Machia!! Good. Ah..."

"... Perselis..."

You were hiding on the other side of the great tree, and Perselis showed up with a leopard and glowed and delighted that I had come.

She comes here, treading on the roots of the great great great trees and on the mossy earth, as she is accustomed to.

When she steps on the earth, the bouncing high sound of water echoes into this space.

"Hello.... why the hell were you hiding in such a place?

"Because... I thought Ulysses was here..."

……

When Perselis gave Ulysses' name, he was somewhere approximate and tended to lay low a little.

The great trees of this sanctuary make a noise that blends the leaves with the zawazawa even though there is no wind.

After a little silence, I gently placed the white flowers I had brought before the coffin of my 2,000-year-old white sage and green witch son Shuma.

…………

The boy has a blue and white face and never opens his eyes.

Naturally, it's dead.

"Hey, has Lily been here lately?

"... occasionally"

………

Something's wrong with Perselis' reaction. It's not like her from earlier.

"... something happened with him?

"... I'm not saying that... but..."

………

"Ulysses... maybe because you don't want to see me"

"............ hmm?

Now, what the hell is going on?

I must have been lurking my eyebrows.

Perselis bends in front of Shuma's coffin and stares at the child's face.

"Ulysses... they know about this girl.... because you come here and you look at this girl like she's sad."

…………

"You look sad about me somewhere too... I don't know why, but when you come here and look at me, Ulysses, you look sad... You don't have the pleasure to talk to me like before. When I get closer, I'm going to take a step closer. So... when Ulysses arrives, I'll pretend I'm not here."

…………

That guy.

I put one hand on my head and let my gaze flow diagonally.

"Well, he's been busy lately too... you see, because he's your age...?

and mismock it.

No, sort of, although I don't think there's anything around your age only for Ulysses.

Though I guess I'm thinking a lot too much.

"... but..."

………

"When I'm with Tor or Machia, I seem to have so much fun... I can't be like that for Ulysses."

"With us... you... are not"

"... right"

"No, don't get me wrong!! You are special, for him!!

I thought I put it the wrong way, so I hastily added.

But ahhh...... this is hard.

How the hell, how far do you know and how far do you not know Perselis...

I don't know that, so I can't follow it well.

"Hey, Machia. Does Machia know about this girl?

………

"... I don't know anything about it. But I know it's special for Ulysses. 'Cause I was crying so much..."

"It's special to you, too."

"Even for me...?

"Yes... I can't tell you the details, but that's your bond with Ulysses..."

…………

I sat next to Perselis and looked sideways at her looking lonely.

I know what Ulysses is afraid of.

You're afraid that being on your side will bring back her memories.

How heavy a curse that would be for Perselis.

I guess that's why we keep our distance so we don't get anywhere near cheap.

"... sorry..."

I groaned potpourrily.

"Hey Machia!! Let's take a bath together!!

………

I was out of the basement garden, and I thought it was time to go home, and Lepis was waiting for me, too. Perselis will come after you and take my arm.

"There are hot springs in the Church for witches!! It's spacious, warm, good for you, it feels good!!

"......... Yep, yep!! No, no, there's about a tub in the royal palace too!!

"Nice!! Me, I wanted to come in with your friend............... no?

When Perselis gives me a very squiggly face, I can't say no.

Especially since she's been screwing Ulysses lately and I guess she's feeling a little lonely.

"So, but... because I'm keeping Lepis waiting"

"Then Lepis is with you!! It's a girl, and it's not good."

Well sure it's girls to girls!!

Lepis doesn't take off the black robe on the iron wall, even in the summer, though he seems to hate it.

"... Hmm... Lepis, you're listening, right? Come out."

I sighed and called for a lepis hiding somewhere.

Suddenly, a shadowy, colored lepis came out of the back of the statue.

………

She looked unusual and troubled.

"Hey, the green witch said we should take a bath together."

"...... are you insane? Are you going back to the royal palace with hot water and dust? Since when did the Church become money and water?"

"... are you in a hurry?

Lepis talks faster than usual, and something's wrong with what he's saying.

You always thought it was a calm settling, but there's this side to it.

"... because of this, I think I'm going in. It's been a long time since we've had a spa..."

"I don't like it"

"Well, don't say that, Lepis... Sounds like the Green Witch ordered it, hey."

Make a mean face and ask Perselis to react.

Perselis put his mouth in a big V letter and said, "Yeah!!" I nodded.

………

Lepis looked in trouble again.

"... but I... it's amazing to take it off..."

"Oh, what's that word...... are you okay??

What's so great about it?

A quiet panic-state repis, though I think it's a little funny.

Perselis points "this way" and further back of the cathedral, on the narrow aisle side, running ahead.

A naive smile on her back when she was in the sanctuary.

I knew this one would look better on this kid.

I was just a little worried about Perselis and Ulysses.
