Story of The Ancient Demon King!

"... selling in?

"That's what I'm saying. Don't make me say it again."

King Wright, with no loose expression between Pocahontas.

"I was wondering if I could buy weapons and food for money. After all, the conversation ended. He won't show up alone."

"... Master Hildegart, I've never heard of that before."

Sasha and Cain, who had never heard of such a serious meeting before, were also stricken and surprised.

Keep your mouth shut.

"Yes, I see...."

Hildegart glances up at Sasha and forcefully seals the two sentences as to why it is necessary to say so.

"Is it true that the Devil wanted money?

"That's just what I was saying. Don't take it seriously. It's an excuse. You call yourself the Devil, and you sell it directly to me."

He glanced back sharply at the strange words of Alto, asking what he didn't need to hear.

"If it's (...), you can take it from anywhere. There is no need to protect people's decisions. There's got to be another purpose."

From Hildegart's words, which I actually saw in front of me, I could feel the verse that she recognized as powerful.

"What the Demon King wants... I see.... Hildegart, is that it?"

I don't know.

King Wright, who thought while stroking his beard, said troubled, and Hildegart responded immediately.

But everyone was convinced.

"Even if it is, it has nothing to do with you. Let's get this over with. This is how much time we've got with that money, and we're still losing it.

Your chest is so tense that you're about to jump out of your dress, your arms under it are even more powerful.

The surroundings burn their faces reflectively and swallow raw saliva.

But King and Alto are far from it.

If you think about it, the evil demon king who was after Celestia couldn't help but look at this woman.

Celestia must not be taken.

It is a symbol of the country, and it also has two points of 'artifacts'.

But there was also a reason why Hildegart could not be lost.

"Hildegart, that's the point. This is why I called you this evening.... follow me to the Light Kingdom."

"I beg you. It's a pleasant sight. Aren't you ashamed to be king?

I sincerely hope that King Wright will not lower his head.

For Hildegart, this proposal seems to have been taken for granted.

With a glossy smile like an invincible little devil, he looks down on King Wright, who proposes with a true plea.

"... [Black Demon King] and Kudjaro. The more you take these, the less the Scarlet Chamber of Commerce will be able to leave. No, it's extremely difficult to be on the cougar side."

There are things that should take precedence over temporary humiliation.

The Scarlet Chamber of Commerce is reaching out to Quadjaro.

It was obvious that the Quadjaro kingdom, fearful of war with the great Light kingdom, was trying to embrace the Scarlet Chamber of Commerce… Hildegart.

"So? What will this country offer me? A huge fortune? More power than you?

"Of course, we have some privileges. But perhaps the great profit for him now is the inviolability of the King's City."

……

Hildegart's sharp eyes narrowed even further.

Cain and Sasha at the back perceive Hildegart's clear mood instantly.

"The one who jumps through and looks beautiful is definitely the target of [Black Demon King]. This King's Capital will never be invaded by Quadjaro, and hopefully [Black Demon King] will be eliminated."

"... the rumored 'artifact'."

The nodding king speaks of profit in good faith, without falsehood.

"The power of 'artifacts' in the past, even from the exercise of the legend, is quite impressive. I can stand your confidence if it really exists.... but..."

Hildegart continues to grow stunned with sighs.

"Whatever Kudjaro is, what about the Black Demon King?"

"Then don't worry. How can the Black Demon King disappear without leaving any dust behind?"

"Then why not use it?"

The king silently questioned the cold Hildegart spinned with the returned sword.

"... I wonder if it can be used against invading nations. But... most of the time, the owner of the prized Relic himself can't activate it unless he recognizes the object?

"Because it's confidential, I can't talk about it."

"You don't have to ask. I would have done it a long time ago if I could exercise against that demon king."

At first, I thought I didn't use it because I was with my daughter Celestia.

However, from the data left in the literature, it seemed possible to exercise it without the Celestia we had together.

In other words, there are other reasons why I couldn't use it.

Hildegart anticipated that the King would be the owner of the Relic and would not be able to activate it without, for example, visibility.

Therefore, he laughs with his nose at how he intends to use it against the Demon King of the Underworld.

"I don't care how I guess. But the rest of my mouth never tells me anything about it. Even if it's supposed to be on the cougar."

"Well, I don't mind. I'm not really interested."

King Wright's eyebrows rose in Hildegart's words from the heart.

I heard what happened. Now that I have received the money, I will respond formally. Privileges and immunities should be sent as soon as they are available. But it will take some time to reach a conclusion. "

"Hmm, let's wait, of course. Thank you for being sincere."

The meeting between King Wright and Hildegart is over and Hildegart bids farewell… before a soldier approaches Alto.

Now that I've ordered nobody around me to stay away, I'm going to press it and call you with an ear slap.

Alto nodded lightly and listened to the soldier who applied for permission using his gaze on the brink.

"... okay. I'll be on my way. Call Hakto."

Ha.

Soldiers bow to the king and the prince and leave.

"... what happened?

"I feel sick. Excuse me."

Alto, who seemed to be in a hurry at any moment, left the venue as he was about to get up.

"... hmm, goodbye"

It is clear that something went wrong, but Hildegart leaves the king behind without any interest.

Then, while Sasha and Cain wait to chase Hildegart in a hurry, they summon nearby soldiers and ask about the situation.

"... Phew. Increase security immediately. Don't let the audience understand."

Ha!

In an unexpected emergency, I ordered him to exhale in his painful head.

♢♢♢

At the same time.

As the sound of the rain grains bouncing off the ground sounds like an orchestra, I look out into the darkness...

"... what's wrong?

"No, it's nothing. I just thought the rain was getting stronger. So... Scarlet, can you tell me where else the money might be gathered?"

"Hubbarkere's Blame."

I was once again at a tavern with an old man in this information shop.

That being said, this is the third time.

"No way... did you really break into the Scarlet Chamber of Commerce...?

Is the old man next door onto me in the mask, or is it a voice of fear?

"Are you asking because it's included in the request fee?

"... forget it."

Speak quietly while drinking distilled liquor at the bar counter.

"... Phew.... you were such a cute little girl. They hated me like my parents hated me in a few minutes and tried to kill me with the momentum to blow up the room."

Tilt Dandy's glass of liquor to suit the atmosphere.

"You don't say" cute ”or“ young lady. ”Let's call it a dragon."

My grandfather gave me a thrill.

But... Hildegart won't be able to help us.

I came here to kill you. I hated you so much.

We need to think about the next gold policy.

How did this happen?

... I wonder myself.

………

……

…

♢♢♢

Time will come back.

The night Krono broke up with Molly and Lillian and returned to King's Landing.

Returning to Ajito, I shredded the conch and trees and created a black knife "Curtain Drawer" storage area.

"... I'll carve the" president ”..."

Once completed, decorate next to creepy black armor.

The sound of knocking reaches your ears when you're looking at it satisfactorily.

"Excuse me."

Celestia's beautiful voice made her wish to enter through the secret door that leads here from the usual rental house above.

"Go ahead."

Return to your desk instantly and start pretending to be busy at work.

Play a handmade solovan on a tequito and meaninglessly slide a quill onto parchment.

"I heard you're back, and it's up to you to rush into it.... I've been looking forward to your return."

Um, thank you. I'm glad to see you soon as I get back to King's Landing. You came a long time ago. "

Chrono stopped his busy hands and said with a smile, Doc and Celestia's heart jumped.

Happy, that simple word leads to happiness.

While realizing his red face, he kept his mind tight and spinned his words without rudeness.

"... I told Mob strongly, so it was worth it, and soon the reward arrived."

"Yeah, I cleaned the room and ran away when I saw my face when I left. I was already scared of something."

……

I'm falling in love with my busy husband who plays something back with his fingers.

"... yes, let's report it right away. [Swamp Demon] has joined my organization."

"Nh!!

I can't hide my consternation from the Lord, who tells me it's just a business contact.

I had no doubt about my husband's victory.

But I never dreamed it would be easy for me to join them.

Far more difficult than knocking down is not hard to imagine.

And... that mighty [swamp demon].

"Of course, but I'm going to be your junior on my right arm. Pleasure, Celeste."

……

Celestia, dressed in easy-to-move white and blue, kneels like a ritual.

"Eternal loyalty to the great Krono....."

Celestia, full of joy, swore allegiance again divinely in her own innocence.

"Oh, um, that's great."

"But... I am as fearful as I am, but I have been entrusted with the king's capital as Kronor..."

Chrono slowly asked Celestia, whose expression was cloudy.

"What happened while I was away...?

Then Celestia stood up with a beat.

"It seems like I admit my inferiority... it's hard to tell you..."

"No, because no one in the world thinks Celeste is unworthy, why don't you say it with confidence?

Fearing disappointment and abandonment, Celestia spoke carefully, choosing her words.

"... I'm afraid so. That... our funds..."

"Hey, yes, yes. I understand."

Celestia's lips are smoothed by Chrono's index finger, which moves within a moment, and the words that follow are suppressed.

A whorehouse and gambling stadium that is the source of funds for [Kronos].

Although the whorehouse is relatively well, the casino has been separated from the Scarlet Chamber of Commerce in the last few weeks.

Perhaps we can't win like this, tearful Celestia decides to uncover the source of funding that never kept Chrono's intentions secret.

"I see... I see... I see... was it a matter of money..."

It was Celestia who was terrified, but Chrono kept pushing his arms together to cheer him up.

"... hey, you rather told me that."

"Eh...."

"You proved to be trustworthy. I think it's okay. There's nothing to worry about. There is nothing to worry about. Leave the rest to me."

"Kurono-sama...."

Inspired by words that soak warmly into your heart... you hold Chrono in tears.

We're busy and trying to concentrate on casino issues that aren't as important as they are right now.

"You've made me anxious. It's all right. This demon king can handle it."

"... I'm happy..."

Celestia entrusts everyone's envy to the majestic breasts of the boy Krono, gently strokes her back to comfort her, and somehow everything becomes better.

But....

……

♢♢♢

No way... I didn't know you were short of money yet...

Besides, the way Celeste looks scared of something, it's probably not enough.

That Celeste seemed very anxious.

No, that's right.

I'm working, Celeste and the others. I wonder if Mob works as much as an ant.

Lilia and the others are cleaning the Chrono Mansion, which was built like an idiot.

Your salary is going to be higher.

That's probably why we've come to a stage where we need to move more seriously.

Huge organization.

Let's see this as a good change and work positively and actively.

……

"Alcohol is good. The aroma and drunkenness of course change the taste again depending on the atmosphere and mood. I don't know what else has so many faces."

An amber spirit is poured into an empty glass.

Every time I make a token and sound, a rich fragrance reaches my nose.

"... I'll take it."

The Master of the Bar poured me one more thing than before, by the gauge of his neighbor, Hubbarkele's culprit.

"If people like you come here many times, they have quite a purpose.... gold."

Grandpa spins the glass and looks at the color of the liquor.

"... recently, there seems to be momentum in a casino called 'Arch Chee'. But... there's a strange part there. I can't recommend it. Besides... it's still weak, isn't it Madame or Enzionism? Both have a dark shadow, but they will do as they please."

"Thank you, thank you."

"What, I treat customers equally. That's all."

Still.

Raise the glass and thank him for drinking.

"Dinner. Bye, next time, I'll have dinner."

"Ah, let's look forward to it. The Master."

By the time I went out, it had become a rainy sky with dust and sand.

♢♢♢

The knights, mainly Alto and Hakto, who escaped the party, ran through the grounds of the royal castle.

……

"Hah, hah, hah..."

While being hit by cold rain over the robe, he draped his hood deeply towards the camp tower.

And turn around the corner. I saw the tower.

……

The hacks' feet stopped.

The tower, once severed by the Demon King, was restored by the healers who dealt with restorative magic.

But now, on the ground floor of that camp tower... there was a big hole.

Countless cracks are running from the hole, and it's about to collapse.

It's like a big beast attacked me like a bullet, like it was detonated by gunpowder.

Everyone remembered the unpleasant feeling of telling the hole, even though the damage was too great.

It's not cold, but it's a strange feeling of frosting and goosebumps.

"What the hell...."

"I'd like to finish a little by the end of the party. Let's go."

Currently, a repairman living in the castle prevented collapse with first aid, and a quick investigation was being carried out.

"What's going on?"

"This is Prince Alto. I'm sorry about the big party."

"I don't mind. What's the status quo?"

Finish the minimal courtesy and hear from the elderly knight who was in charge.

"The intruder killed seven knights. They broke into the tower and captured it inside... with Enziyan suspects and two criminals, destroying the tower walls and fleeing."

I see.

As Alto listens to the report, he takes a step towards the creepy, powerful hole.

"Nh!! Please wait!!

"What?

Rather than Alto, the accompanying Hucto and Knights beat the heart out of the Prince's voice.

"No, I'm sorry. Whatever you put down, you should have told me first."

"Is there still a problem?

The person in charge of the cardiac shrinkage explained again.

"Yes, in fact, I've only detected this hole... possibly caused by a" curse "."

Curse.

"Hmm!?

"Curse...?

Those ominous words change the face of Hakt and the knights.

Many of them are impatient and afraid, and even take a few steps back from the great hole.

……

Alto, who was calm and undulating, also raised his eyebrow for the first time.
