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

My name is Tor Sagaram.

He is an advisor magician in the Kingdom of Ruskia.

I was now in an inn across the desert of the eastern continent, on the White Cotton Road, in a village near the border of the Kingdom of Frezier.

I left the Kingdom of Ruskia about two months ago, and then in the Kingdom of Frezil, I got a mandate for a plan.

"Oh, shit. You're kidding. Seriously, Chamberlain is in the hands of the Federation."

Eska peeks into her binoculars and is complaining.

The two great powers of the eastern continent, the Kingdom of Frezier and the Kingdom of Chamberlain.

The two major powers connected on Baromett Road were allies, but about six months ago, the attitude of the Kingdom of Chamberlain was said to have changed dramatically.

Until now, there had been close movement and trade in cooperation relations with Frezil, which suddenly restricted the entry of the Frezilian side.

Frezier makes this a violation of the treaty and can also attack the Kingdom of Chamberlain, but Princess Shatoma seems to think this is even a federal trap.

... Chamberlain is already in the hands of the Federation.

Investigating it as a definite fact, that's my task now.

"Hey Black Demon King, there are soldiers at the border. There seems to be tanks and artillery that Chamberlain shouldn't have had. To get into the country from the ground, it's gonna be so noisy."

"Should we still go from the basement"

Baromet Road has land and underground.

But only a limited number of people in the kingdom of Frezier know about the existence of the underground. The Chamberlain side seems to have the royal family branching out 200 years ago, and the underground presence said the previous royal family took it all the way to the grave around that time?

Princess Shatoma has previously confirmed it.

Nevertheless, it is so complicated that it is said to be an underground labyrinth, a dangerous road that we do not know what is happening now.

I wanted to sneak into Chamberlain from the table if I could, but there doesn't seem to be a gap anywhere.

"There is probably one of the" Blue Generals ”at the core of the Kingdom of Chamberlain. They must be caught promptly."

"I know. So it's best if I get in alone."

Lepis was making tea for the number of people. Me, Eska, Lena and myself.

He is also one of the people who has acted together for the past two months.

As part of the Mission of Inquiry of the Patriarchate, Princess Shatoma persuaded Eska, who was familiar with both the eastern and northern continents, to accompany him on this mission. Instead, Ulysses was to remain in the Patriarchate, but I had no choice.

However, Lena, who is acting with us as the "Savior," seemed completely tired.

She recently learned some white magic, but it doesn't mean she can do anything special.

I am merely accompanied on such a dangerous journey by the words "Savior” from another world.

Princess Shatoma said that it makes sense for her to be there.

"Lena...... are you okay?

……

When I cared, she snorted up and drank tea.

And look up at me with a bewildered look.

"But Mr. Thor is going to the underground labyrinth tomorrow, by himself, isn't he? I knew it was dangerous."

From the beginning, Lena was worried that I would go underground labyrinth alone and break into Chamberlain.

But Lepis says.

"It's okay. Master Thor is still the One Demon King. Say no artifacts."

"... unforgiving, you are"

Lena, who worries about me, and Lepis, who is relentless in sending me to dangerous places.

Emotional Lena and Clerical Lepis.

Reminiscent of my two former wives, I sighed.

"Damn it!! When I said I was going alone, you all felt like 'Ah, yes', why would I take notes if this guy was going alone!!

……

"Die, you guys!! Whoa, whoa."

No one can answer Eska's question by the window. Lena made herself feel sorry for herself, and led to Lepis saying, "Not in popularity?" and that there is no body or lid.

In fact, it would have been nice if Eska had gone, but only a few Black Curtains were available to capture the Blue General. So far, it's Solomon Twilight and me and Lepis. Whether Solomon is the caretaker or not, thanks to the Rubel Tower's magic circuit, the space can be used by three people in sync. So wherever we capture the general, we can lock him in the same space.

"I can't fathom the Blue General on my own, and I can only stick with Esca or Lena as a travel black curtain. Therefore, Master Thor is in charge. If the reality of the Kingdom of Chamberlain is not captured, we cannot move on to the next course of action."

"So, but Lepis. About Mr. Thor... Aren't you worried?

"No, especially. It's stronger if you do it."

……

To Lepis' words, Lena couldn't say anything at all.

"Lena, I'm happy with your feelings, but there's nothing I can do about all this if I don't do it. Well, I don't have artifacts."

……

One of the most recent ways of being made fun of was without artifacts.

Because since the discovery that all the Demon King classes beside me have artifacts, the fact that I don't have them alone is taken up as a variety of necklaces.

It seems that having artifacts, unlike just empowering, makes the world acknowledge their existence “proof”.

I'm not sure what it is.

"But, Mr. Thor, I'm sick."

"When did you get sick? It must have been another year ago."

Eska stuck.

Sure, a year ago, I put my life and death at risk, but that's over.

Is Lena worried about me because she was diligently nursing me?

"But Mr. Thor's magic still involves risks. Without a healing magic white magician on my side..."

"So you're following the Black Demon King? Well, we're just gonna stick our feet together."

"..."

"Besides, blah, blah, blah. The healing magic that the Black Demon King put on himself would work better than your healing magic. If you're a white magician like me, you can still do it."

"... Ugh"

Eska looked frightened, arguing before Lena said anything.

Lena already fell for the poor thing.

But, well, Eska's right.

The white magicians who can perform effective healing magic against my risks are Ulysses, Princess Chatma, and about Esca. If there's enough white magicians on that level to do something, I'd better do my own healing magic.

"Besides, Master Lena, Master Lena has other uses. I know you're concerned about Thor, but please think of yourself first."

……

To Lepis' words, Lena bobbled her face bright red.

I thought you were listening to our operation without saying anything.

I had a little pity for Lena.

Even if not, at this time she starts to hear discouragement in her position as the Savior.

In Frezier, where she stayed for a time, various voices flew in the shadows when accompanying Lena on her journey.

What good does it do, what power does it have, what is the proof of being a Messiah...... can it just be a clump on your feet?

And the word that I heard was, "That man was great."

Who the hell is that person who can compare to Lena... no one will ever give that person's name in front of me. But I do.

Because Ulysses unconsciously speaks in front of me.

...... Machia.

He said I knew about him, but he had no memory of what happened when he paid for the risk.

For some reason, he's not trying to teach me.

Was me and that guy so unrelated?

What the hell was he like?

At the border inn, last night.

I could hardly sleep, and I thought I'd get some air outside, so I went out into the hallway.

Then Lena, with a lonely face somewhere, looked out the window into the night sky.

There are no tall buildings around here, and there is a clear, wide starry sky to worship.

Really, bright, clear blue everywhere.

"Hey, Lena. It's cold around here at night. You're gonna catch a cold."

"... Mr. Thor"

Thinly dressed, just blurry Lena.

She's a carefree daughter everywhere.

"Hey, you okay? I won't be here tomorrow either."

"... Yes"

"Come on. Doesn't look okay at all... but what's so worrying about it? In an age like this, you just can't go back to the original world. Well, you'd be anxious."

"Mr. Thor, are you not anxious? 'Cause I'm alone in a country I don't know..."

Lena asks, wondering.

I just thought about it a little bit, but I didn't have anything in me to say I was particularly anxious.

"Well, I don't know what will happen, but it is the decision of the kingdoms of Ruskia and Frezier that the Blue General is more certain to capture each and every one of them than to look for the main body. In the past year, the situation in the world has moved violently.... There won't be much time. As soon as possible, we have to hit him."

……

"Besides, I want to help the Twilight people who are captured by the Federation. This mission leads to the retrieval of Twilight. Let me try something."

"... Mr. Thor, that's amazing"

Lena missed her gaze.

"I have no idea what I want to do or what I should do... even though it's been a year since I've come to this world. I can't do anything. I put my legs together."

"That's not true. You've been studying white magic all year."

"No, anyone can do that. I can't believe I'm the only one... like everyone else, no special strength, nothing. What is the Savior?"

……

She also looked up at the sky.

More than anyone else, she herself seemed to think of something like the existential significance of what she was called here.

"That's all I'm thinking about, who the hell am I supposed to rely on when Mr. Thor is gone? As the Savior, it sucks."

"... anybody can help you"

"That's because I'm a daughter from another world. Without thinking about it, what helps me is about Mr. Thor"

"No, well, Eska's got a bad mouth, too, but he's not such a bad guy. He's an idiot. Lepis is faint, too, and you may have a cold impression, but I'll tell you something funny, that guy. Even Princess Chatma and Ulysses..."

……

Lena shook her head as she sifted.

I weep, like I can't stand it anymore.

"But because... we all absolutely think. I wonder why I'm here and there's no" that girl ”. Machia..."

It gave its name, and Lena was hazy, but still leaned down.

I thought it was him again.

Instead, I had trouble with Lena, who cried once more, and took the handkerchief out of her chest pocket and gave it away.

She looked up at me, dyed her cheeks slightly, and received it.

The trick of pushing a handkerchief in the eye looks just like Lena's in a previous life.

"Even my assignment, I'm not going to prolong it that long. I'll see you soon."

"... Yes"

Lena nodded honestly, kokokon.

I stroke her head with a bump. Lena's head is small, round and well shaped.

Lena, who had been crying, seemed to calm down just a little.

"Mr. Thor, that's sloppy."

"... what?

"No."

For once, she smiled small and still, seemed to sigh small.

"Starting tomorrow, I can't believe Mr. Thor isn't here..."

"Well, yes, because you're the one who's gonna miss me, thank you. Look at the other two. All I'm saying is go."

I don't have a choice.

Esca is here, after rendezvous with the other investigation teams, to get into Chamberlain from the front and blind me to my actions, and Lepis and Lena have another case.

"Each one as another, and the last place to go is the same"

"... Yes. I'll do my best, too."

"Oh. There's got to be something you can do. Have confidence in yourself."

"Yes."

Only at the end, powerful, she nodded.

Originally she should be a positive daughter. I believe that her role can be found herself.

"Um, Mr. Thor... if I, properly, can find what I need to do... the..."

……

"No...... no, that. … after all, it's nothing…"

"What the hell. Damn it."

I laughed to blow it out.

Although Lena swelled a little and said "Mr. Thor is terrible".

Keep holding my handkerchief,

"Can I have this?

Somewhere she seemed to squeeze her courage, and that's what she'd heard.

"Yeah, it's okay. But that's a lot to use. I don't want to spill it."

"This is good."

"Right. Then I'll do it. Yeah, let's get the magic team settled in. If anything happens, use it."

I made a little cube of magic in the universe and lodged it in a handkerchief.

"It will make a small fortress that will protect you. If anything happens, use this to get away. Good."

"... Yes"

Lena was in tears again.

Glittering 3D magic formations as they stare to dwell in its handkerchief.
