Episode 150 What is a Demon?

"I didn't expect this to happen."

Nowem, the demon king of [Saffir Country], sighed and uttered words tired in the conference room of the imperial castle of [Topajo Country].

But she was not alone in the heavy air, and all those who were there could not wipe away the feeling of being swallowed by a fox.

The reason for this is, for example, what Glouce told me, the emperor's messenger, who almost returned from [Ruvino Country].

He then protected Mirage, and she told him more about the collapse of [Ruvino Country]. And I figured out what had happened in the last few hours, and I took the information back to [Topajo Country] and passed it on to Curea, the demon king.

Then information was passed from Culea to Norway, and Soji and the others hurried to [Topajo Country]. Yurin gave me the information in a difficult atmosphere when I entered the conference room.

It was a stunned Nowem who held his head and narrowed down what he had just said.

"Who is this Mirage?

Yoyo asks Culea. She seems relieved that the anomaly of the situation is not being grasped precisely or that there was no war.

She's in the dungeon now.

"How is she?

Yurin answers.

"It looks like I've seen something so horrible that I'm still trembling in my futon. Mr Grouse managed to listen and then lost consciousness for a while. Now my consciousness has recovered....."

"Really...."

Yoyo's expression is shaded. It would have been completely unexpected for her too. Of course, we should be pleased that the coup d 'état by [Ruvino Country] was prevented.

However, the situation is not simple, and Grouse is listening to a statement that an even more troubling presence is planning a coup.

Moreover, because the opponent is called "The Chaos Clan", even that Glow's face is steep and he can't afford it anymore.

Thorzi raised his hand softly thinking that things would not progress while silence continued for a while. And Norway gave me permission to speak.

"Nice to meet you. My name is Saudi Alkasa, and I serve Miss Yoyo."

I haven't even introduced myself yet, so I'll tell you my name first. The Curiers who were listening to Soji opened their eyes and stared at Soji with interest.

"I can't decide what to say to the kings during this anomaly, but first let's be happy that the coup d 'état between [Ruvino Country] and Golden Bandit has been stopped."

That being said, there is no one here to be honest with. I didn't say it because I really wanted Soji to be happy. This is just a connection. And the point is after that.

"I don't know who the ghost is, but even if I kept silence here, I don't think there's any progress. I think there are a lot of things to do, such as post-processing, but we want to organize the information for now."

At the end of Saudi's speech, Glows was the first to speak.

"He's right. First of all, understanding the current situation is of paramount importance. I must report this to the Emperor as soon as possible. After all, the opponent left behind a statement that he was aiming for the throne of the Emperor. But before we do that, let's sort out what we know about them. How do you like it?

Everyone nods with clarity to Glows' words. There are nine people here: Saudi, Yoyo, Norwem, Pukoro, Culea, Yurin, Glows, True Snow, and Confa.

It is helpful that there is no Wado here. He probably said, "You can go after those guys! Saudi thinks it's good not to be here because it's just depressing just to shout lightly.

"First of all, do you know anything about the Chaos Clan?

Grouse is at the center of the story. But most people shake their necks sideways. In it, Yoyo quietly opens his mouth.

"The" Chaos Clan "is certainly a" ghost "that comes out of a long time ago's story, right? I thought it was fiction, but it was real... right?

"No, that's not confirmed yet. It's just a story I heard from a woman named Mirage. Well, I don't think I would lie in that state, but there is also the possibility that the Mummy who Ganage brought back from [Onimura Island] in the first place was mistaken for the Ghost."

As he was right, Ganange seemed to regard the mummy he found as a "ghost", but there was still no confirmation.

"It's only certain that the boy I met wasn't the only one."

Glows took something out of his pocket and put it on the table.

"What is it, Mr. Grouse?

When Yurin asks, everyone also looks at the object.

"It seems like a machine that measures and quantifies the strength of a living organism called Forsavour. Mirage told me that he was measuring the boy's strength."

"Ah, speaking of which...."

Yurin accepts while remembering.

"It has always been in Doc's pocket, or broken by a boy's attack, so it is useless, but something close to this also exists in The Imperial Palace. From what I've seen, Forsavour is not bad either. In other words, if what Mirage said were true, the boy who had just been born would have had nearly twenty times the power of King Ganange."

The boy is 8431 compared to 439 in Gananju. There is certainly a difference of about twenty times.

"Do you have any idea how horrible this is? King Gananju is the king of the" Red Skin Clan "of the clan that was the best at fighting among the demons. Maybe I'll have time to take it down. But the boy was just born and killed him in an instant. This is abnormal."

Indeed, in this world, the strong are the strong. However, Sawyer thought it was an anomaly for a newly born creature to slightly cross a trained samurai.

I think that I will somehow fall into the category of the strong, but this power is still a result of years of training, and I still can't beat Balmunk. But if the boy was born with a strength comparable to that of Balmung, this is nothing out of the ordinary.

"The Chaos Clan, described in the story, is depicted as a clan that leads the world to darkness, and is a clan of only ten people. Each and every one of them has a power called the genius, which plunges people into the depths of fear."

Grouse is talking about a picture book called "The Chaos Story." The Ghost that appears there performs his powers as he says and kills the disobedient one after the other.

And reign as ruler of the world. But one day, ten knights with the same powers appear there. Each one of them vanished into battle with the Ghost, and finally the Prince of the Ghost and the Knight King. The Knight King who defeated the Demon brilliantly, but his wounds were deep and he eventually stopped breathing, but the story is that people get peace thanks to them.

"Even the boy who saw Lord Grouse had a horn like the ghost in the story, right?

When Soji asks, Glows lightly pulls his chin and says, "Yes." And he goes on.

Those who took the boy saw the same horn.

"Isn't that a corner like the rest of us?

Nowem asks, but Glows shakes his head sideways to deny it.

"Yes, their horns are on their heads, not their foreheads. And that tiger robe...."

"Tiger handle?

Nowem answers.

"This is the robe they were wearing. It was the same as the ghost in the story."

All the ghosts in the story wore tiger robes. And the boys were wearing similar robes.

(Has this finally turned the story into reality...?

Soji felt that the world was becoming distorted with a feeling of disgust.
