"I'm coming."

That's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna open the principal's office.

That's what the Knights called me.

"This way, please"

That's what the Knights Commander says, he hands me a piece of paper.

"What's this?

"His Majesty the King told me to give this to you. … use it effectively."

At the top of the paper offered by the Knights Commander was written 'Letter of Appointment of Plenipotentiary Commander for Emergency Situations'.

… apparently, the state pays for damage to surrounding buildings, etc., regardless of the crime in response to the emergency…

Plus, they even give local knights and the like the right to give instructions.

Until now, the same treatment has been done...... don't be easy and helpful if you get it in writing clearly.

Honestly, when it comes to fighting in the city, damage to the surroundings is inevitable, and the cooperation of the Knights, there are useful occasions.

It was the Knights, for example, who evacuated the ordinary people around them when a second schoolboy fought the Demons in the King's Capital.

If they hadn't sealed off the battle zone tightly, the battle could have taken a different form again.

"Tell the king I'm grateful."

"Yes."

That's right. We had a conversation, and we left Wang Du behind.

The destination is where Zadkirgias was resurrected - Bowsail.

◇

Then two hours later.

We had an ops meeting and we were on our way to Bowsail.

Demon-like magic, I haven't seen it so far.

"For now... you don't seem to have that kind of magic."

"Oh. That's exactly what I expected."

That's what we're talking about, and we're going inside the city of Bowsail.

It is as predicted beforehand that we do not see the magic of the Demon Clan.

Zadkirgias is not the type of demon tribe that suddenly sells fights to enemies from the front.

Getting ready, setting up an operation... fighting after creating a winnable situation is how Zadkirgias does it.

In a way, it's the opposite pattern when we fight demons.

Until then, Zadkirgias lurks and solidifies his preparations.

Instead...... once Zadkirgias shows up plainly, we should assume there is a trap or ploy there.

The fact that Zadkirgias hasn't shown up yet...... means he's not ready to fight yet.

It's convenient for us.

"Do you remember the operation properly?

"It's okay!"

"It's perfect!

"Yes!... Watashi, it's been a long time since I've used that one... I'll do my best!

Using soundproofing magic, we walk through the city making final confirmations.

In the city, it's not very lively.

Somehow...... you all have a hungry vibe.

The food lined up in the outdoor store is also just crude demonic meat and cereals, with an emphasis on filling your belly cheaply anyway.

"... this was a reputable city where rice was delicious, right?

"It's supposed to be... hmmm..."

Sure, there are many things in the city that look like restaurants.

But most of them seemed to be closing.

"After all, it sounds like you're watering up your harvest and putting heavy taxes on it"

There were many shops in the city that did not contain customers or were not open.

Adventurers, cheap-focused shops, etc. seem to thrive... but the shops that serve hands-on food are almost completely destroyed.

Perhaps it's expensive… or the residents don't have room to go into a normally priced store.

Until then if you say the economy is bad...... don't ever see it so bad.

The city that was ruled by a demonic lord is so much better.

While I think about it, I walk around the city.

But I still don't see demonic magic.

There's no such thing as someone dying in the city.

The economy is bad... but it doesn't look like something's going on in the city.

... I don't see anything suspicious in the Lords' Hall either.

I didn't confirm what the lord himself looked like... but there's no such thing as a scurvy or suspicious space inside, like the Lords' Palace in Gravywood.

"Hmmm... you can't find it..."

"When there's nothing so far... could it be another city?

"No, this much is assumed. Naturally, I couldn't find it in magic, and I had predictions about not taking understandable action."

Indeed, it cannot be said that there is no possibility that Zadkirgias is moving to another city.

If you fly, you'll see by magic... if you walk around pretending to be a normal human being, you'll never find it.

Enough to say that if a demon clan with as much moves as Zadkirgias seriously conceals magic, it's impossible to tell it by magic first.

Zadkirgias should have expected a crusader here who was better at fighting against the Demons than scattered all that flashy magic during the resurrection.

Zadkirgias has a good chance of beating the Crusaders... but it's the trouble with that demon clan not choosing to fight cheaply there.
