hours after leaving the first interrogation post.

We were coming near the second checkpoint.

'What do you think? Demon clan or something?

'No, you're all human, too. … there is a slight suspicious reaction underground.'

"Suspicious reaction?

'Oh. Definitely human, but with demonic props of the physical strengthening system. I can't make chanting magic. "

Of course, besides us, there are unchanging grantees, and it's possible that it's a magic item that he made.

In fact, Gilás had developed a kind of chant-free magic on his own and was fighting with it.

However... the magic props are too sophisticated.

It doesn't seem like a complete magic item from previous times, but physical strengthening magic items in the first place are not a substitute for amateurs to make properly in our own way.

... you might want to keep an eye on where the magic props came from.

'There was no such thing as a demonic prop for physical strengthening... Does that make it easier for us to fight?

'You should stop. Detailed adjustments are difficult to work with, making it difficult to fight back. I can't even use it to gobble with power, but it's a lot of strain on my body'

Because of the atmosphere of magic, the magic props that people in the basement are using right now would be the type they use to gobble with power.

Probably got to have some cool side effects.

'From the code that was in this board, you have to go through this checkpoint too...?

'Oh. That's better.... Rest assured. Even if you get attacked, you can pay back. "

With that said, I'll explore the magic reaction of the inquisition again.

Yeah. You're brilliantly full of miscellaneous fish. There are no demons either.

To this extent, Illis alone would be able to return the favor.

Truth is, I already know how to shortcut the interrogation center without finding out, but I won't use it this time.

If the opponent doesn't make a move, you better go through it honestly, and if Volkyrian territory is hostile to us, you better figure it out fast.

Infiltrating the city knowing that Forkia is an enemy beforehand and not knowing if Forkia is an enemy or an ally will also move differently.

If Forkia was on the Devil's side, there's no reason to file an application for going to the Aetheris Prairie by mistake.

If you do that, you'll find your destination in one shot.

The demons won't know what's in the Aetheris prairie or anything, but if they know there's something, they'll be more alert.

If you go down the road thinking about that, just like the first checkpoint, you can be stopped by the guards.

"Stop. Let me get you a pass."

I hope I can get through this again...

With that in mind, we'll give you a pass.

"... this is..."

The guard who received our pass will put it through the machine.

Then he told us.

"Sorry, but it takes about half a day to get permission. Can you wait here until then?"

"... ok"

Apparently, it doesn't work like the first inquisition.

Well, it's half a day, so shall we wait appropriately?

'Permission, whose permission is it? Something in particular, it doesn't look like I'm going to get permission...'

Lurii asked me a few moments away from the inquest waiting for permission.

... Apparently, he's watching closely.

"Have you noticed? I don't think you're getting permission for this. '

'... what do you mean?

'You're buying time. When I put the pass through the machine, the machine was emitting magical powers like communication magic. I guess it'll take about half a day for someone ahead of communications magic to be ready.'

"The one you're communicating to... is that someone?

'Oh. If the lord were the enemy, it would be the lord's hand or something disguised as a bandit. In some cases, demons may come out'

"You pretended to be a bandit... you mean to raid us?

"Oh. The missing person Gilás was talking about, wasn't that the victim?

Gilás said there are many missing adventurers near Forkia.

If a raid has been carried out that has made it look like a bandit, it is also convincing that there are many missing persons.

If it's normal, there shouldn't be any reason to raid adventurers trying to reach the territory... but there's no way 'normal' or anything like that can get through to those with the tools made by the Demons.

'If I get raided, what do I do?

'You can return it normally. Pretend you don't notice anything. "

Then, a few hours later.

'Permission granted' finally allowed us to pass through the checkpoint.

"Is there going to be a bandit?

Alma asks me away from the inquest.

'I don't know if it's a bandit, but I'm pretty sure there's something there.... Here'

I'll decrypt the contents of the pass and show them to you both.

'Caution. High rank adventurer. Perform class B processing.

That's what the pass said in the cipher.

"Class B processing......?

'Oh. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't seem like a lot of things.... Sounds like a customer is following you.'

That's what I say, I look far away.

There was someone tracking us from a remote location.

The opponent seems to be quite accustomed to tailing, can't visually confirm his appearance, but the magic reaction is perfect.

Behind the tracker, nearly thirty bandits... seem to be holding back humans disguised as

As far as magic reactions go, everyone has magic props to strengthen their muscles.

Well... where are you going to set me up?
