Onlyn kingdom, the king's capital, Blaion.

One room on the upper level of the Royal Castle, where only humans authorized by the King can enter.

It is a simple place that is large but has no decoration whatsoever.

There is no sound, in a room surrounded by silence.

There were multiple people standing there.

What wraps you up in is a pitch-black robe as if you had trapped the dark night.

Each has a right arm hem and gold embroidered numbers.

You would have noticed if you had seen someone with a good taste in martial arts.

to their anomaly of not making any noise and not even moving.

And those who are profound in the creation of sorcery will understand.

to the first-rate magic grants they wear (magic items), and the massive amount of magic they enclose.

To martial arts that even outweigh knights, a user of witchcraft shouldered by court magicians.

Their name is "Selector".

The elite of the kingdom who has mended witchcraft, martial arts and all kinds of combat techniques.

It is a collective whose business is to worship the next seat from the king and to select and dispose of those who will harm the kingdom.

Under the king's life, the selectors who were on duty away from the king's capital were meeting together in a room in the royal castle.

The selectors don't open their mouths as one.

There was a squeezing tension in the room.

"Oh."

Inside the room, a man came in.

He is a magnificent man dressed in a court magician's robe.

Unmaintained red hair with a beard that is still growing.

The fallen eyes emit a cloudy glow, like boiling and trapping every paranoia.

The appearance that makes the seer remember a messy impression, like it doesn't deserve this occasion.

However, he stood in the front of the selectors without taking the pressure they had unleashed as an object.

"Orders from His Majesty the King are simple."

Without any foreshadowing, the man tells the selectors in a silent voice.

"The captivity of the brave Heavenly Moon Io, life or death, is irrelevant. Kill him. But hold on to that man. Dispose of anyone who disturbs you by any means."

……………

Silence runs to Luisas, who gives orders in an arrogant tone.

"... any reply?"

"" - Ha. "

A short reply with a footprint.

Don't do that. No, the selectors are moving.

"... chip"

Seeing that, Luisas pounded his tongue.

Well, Luisas whines a little.

"That bastard screwed up. Well, I didn't expect anything from the beginning."

A man's voice echoes in the room where no one is anymore.

"After all, I'm the only one who can kill him."

Cloudy eyes narrow, says the man.

"- Come on, Amatsu. Shall we begin revenge (...)"

court magician.

"The Great Devil's Guide." Luisas Gilburn.

That's right, his right arm.

Nothing should have happened. There was a carefully bandaged arm stuck there.

◆

Strong tidal scent that tickles the nasal cavity to the sound of waves that come at regular intervals.

Not a cloudless sky, another blue was spreading into sight.

I hear the voice of those who move around busily and the sounds of seabirds never stop.

A few days after we left Hot Springs City, me and Elfi were coming to a port town in the Union.

It's just called a harbour town and you can see a number of fishing boats.

Elfi looked uncommonly at the fishermen bringing back the captured fish while eating the hot spring manju in both hands.

Our next destination is the Empire.

The Union and the Empire are separated by the sea, and we must cross the sea by boat if we are to make our way.

That's why we came to this port town on the southern tip of the Union.

"The sea……. I'd love to try some fresh fish dishes..."

Pull Elfi, the bulimic demon king, to find a ship to the Empire.

The fact that the sea is rough or that there are demons does not leave the ship is Zara, but fortunately I was able to find a ship for the Empire.

Confirm the next departure time and blah blah blah blah blah.

The adventurous ones, like those seen in Hot Springs City, wandered.

"You have adventurers here, too."

"In the first place, the adventurers themselves are still the only ones in the Union."

The majority of ships crossing the sea employ adventurers as escorts.

I wonder if many of the adventurers here are getting that escort job.

"Well... we're adventurers too"

After the Purgatory Labyrinth, somehow me and Elfi signed up as adventurers.

Class is A-rank.

I don't plan on working as an adventurer, but the guild cards I get when registering can be on my ID.

The Adventurer System is a system that countries pay attention to, so if you show guild cards in other countries, you can gain some trust.

I walked for a while and went into the library.

Show your guild card and you'll be admitted for free.

Sit back in the corner seat and take a breath.

"Nara Labyrinth, Purgatory Labyrinth. With the two labyrinths falling, it should be time for the Demon King's Army to move"

"... Elfi's presence was discovered by his opponent."

I don't know how far they're holding our intel.

I heard that from Bertoga, but he seems to be running with Dionis, so he probably didn't have that much information.

"And the Demon King's Army, but perhaps the kingdom is after me, too."

"That guy named Luisas. I tried, but we wouldn't be a big threat right now."

"No."

Shake your head and explain to Elfi.

When I was in the kingdom, I heard about the Selector.

"Hmm..."

"Every single one of them has the strength to cross A-rank adventurers. Considering that Lewsas is leading, I don't think he's going to lose, but it's a hassle"

Well, it was 30 years ago, so I don't know what's going on now.

I think it might be debilitating.

"For once, let's be vigilant"

After we talked about it, I fished the material in the library.

Due to the port town, there is a lot of material about the sea.

I found the material you were looking for, but it did not contain the information I wanted to know.

"Io, what have you been looking into?... Is that a record of the war thirty years ago"

"Oh. I was looking for information about one of the traitors."

The fact that he's in the empire is grasping with information from adventurers.

Apparently, he's doing aristocracy now.

"Well, it seems convenient not to have a record."

Well, even without the information, I know what he did.

"... just fine. I'll tell you about my revenge in the meantime."

Drop the tone of your voice and Elfi will bring your face closer.

"You said it when you fought that ghost tribe in the Purgatory Labyrinth. That ghost was smearing the remains of my men."

"... oh"

"He who killed my men directly… among them, is your object of vengeance. Dionis and Lucifina."

Giri's teeth squeal and Elfi continues.

"... As for those two, let me get my hands on them too"

Dionis and Lucifina.

Those are my most vengeful ex-companions.

We must avenge those two more miserably than Marwin or Bertoga and the others.

I can't accept the boulders giving those guys over to Elphi.

"I'm not asking you to let anything avenge just me. Vengeance is executed by me and Io. … so why not?"

".................., ok"

Elphi helped me many times to get here.

I've made you go out with my revenge many times.

Besides, this suggestion would have no reason to say no.

"That's settled. I don't know what I'm gonna do with my crush."

"You can't do that. I'm not gonna kill you that easy."

Me and Elfi are buddies.

Then it would be different to let you hang out with all my conveniences.

... buddy, what is it?

◆

Then about an hour passed and it was time for the ship to leave port.

I was discounted when I showed my guild card and was able to ride it for a cheap price.

The Empire is on its way.

There is one of the five general's labyrinths, the Dead Swamp Labyrinth.

And one of my vengeful subjects.

He went to the Empire thinking of a way to avenge the "woman".
