Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Alto made the knight slam the “Cursed Light Stone" into a hole in the holding tower and checked with his own eyes.

"... sure."

The cursed stone that reacts to the remnants of the curse glows suspiciously.

"... spell..."

Hakt groans anxiously at the disturbing keywords everyone avoids.

Shortly after that word, which disappeared into the sound of rain, a soldier rushed towards Alto.

"Thank you for waiting. Again, there is not a single carriage for the party attendees. We also found a corpse that looked like a servant driving. I thought the killers had already escaped."

Ah.

It rained hard, almost everyone was hooded on the robe, and the soldiers and knights missed the suspicious parties.

"I know how to escape. But the key is the intrusion route. Investigate immediately."

Ha!

After dropping off the soldiers on their next assignment, Alto returns to Hakt.

"Huck, follow me. I think you understand in the current report, but don't get too close to this area. I don't know what kind of curse it is."

"Ha, ha!

Determining that Hakt's face correctly recognized the fear of a curse, Alto, led by a knight, walks into the tower from another entrance.

The ground floor of the tower housed inmates in need of medical attention, and the road leading to the Great Hole contained traces of blood.

……

"You wait here. I'll go check on the body."

"Ah, oh, I'm coming too!

"It's still early for you. It seems pretty miserable."

It looks like a blunt weapon, and the body of the soldier is expected to be severely beaten by the author...

All strikes. He would have died instantly.

Brain plasma scattered, depressed from shoulder to chest, completely broken neck.

It was too miserable for young people who had not experienced the battlefield to see that they had fought the Demon King.

Against the King's will to gradually nurture Hakt.

Alto did not speak in depth, but walked to the wrapped body of cloth, which was placed in a remote place.

……

"... we'll be tough too. You're still too stimulating.... don't be impatient. If you're anxious to be young, you'll get mentally tough. Gradually, gradually."

"That's right...."

Thanks to Alto and the care from the senpai knight who gently taps his shoulder... this is a bit like warm water for Hakto now.

Along with the returned Alto, we will examine the destroyed prison.

"... when we summarize what the prisoners testified about seeking a commutation of their sentence, it seems that the killer has a fairly large body. Sometimes it was night, and I only saw the shadow, but most people testified that way."

Point at your knees and murmur as you gaze at the objects scattered under your feet.

Even Alto, who prides himself on his power, felt the debris in the tablet.

"... it's broken by force. This strength lock is shattered to pieces. There is no response from the Cursed Light Stone. Simple power."

"I can't believe I broke this... what kind of power..."

In the first place, this tower has an anti-magic ceremony that can contain some magic, especially attacks with magic from the inside are severely weakened.

That's why you have to pay no attention unless it's like [Black Demon King].

To rely on a spell would not have such a deviant magic.

That's why a simple arm can't be broken so brilliantly if it's not off track.

"Powerful and giant....."

"There are many mercenaries in King's Landing who are proud of their strength, and many who are good at martial arts.... it looks like it's pretty hard to identify the killer."

"No, that's not true. Even if I can think of it right away, I've already narrowed it down to a few people."

"Hmm!?

Alto's gaze, which says he almost identifies the killer, is turned towards the big hole.

"Witchcraft is not as complete as magic, nor is it an excellent means. Some of them are very annoying, but curses usually have some negative effect on the cursed side. It's like a delicate, disease-like weakening of the body."

Unlike disease, it cannot be cursed until it is de-cursed, but I explain to Hakt...

A spell plants an effect that disadvantages a subject. And a typical example of that effect is like a cold.

"No, but... this is..."

A big hole in front of you that lets you see the scenery outside when it rains.

Hakt, who had only vague knowledge of the curse, was just afraid.

But the knights felt uncomfortable because the curse did not have the effect of using such powerful magic.

"Probably, but it uses a lot of complicated curses that are quite cumbersome. Besides, they carve those curses into themselves."

The knights took a breath.

The combination of negative and harsh effects produced these direct effects.

"I thought most of the suspects could be identified because the killer was very suspicious. And I'm a curse specialist."

Bear the disadvantage of both the hanging side and the hanging side. I can't even imagine what kind of negative reaction would occur to my body or mind if I did that.

"... possibly from someone else."

"There is a danger of 'curse back'. With this level of spell, the risk of being returned would also be considerable. The combined risks are immeasurable. I can only think of myself as having a miraculous balance."

Curse me back.

In the process of de-cursing, it is a secret technique that returns the curse to the person who cast the curse.

A knowledgeable person who knows the structure and type of the spell perfectly and is the first one to be able to retaliate.

Immediately afterwards, we also heard expert opinions, and as Alto predicted, it would be more successful to take charge of everything on his own than others.

"But the curse is a curse. Multiple... I can't help but wonder that it doesn't cause mental disorders. It is also unclear why they are able to operate properly. I don't even know if it is still a person in the first place. We must therefore act swiftly and carefully. There are three suspects under investigation..."

♢♢♢

……

"Um... were you okay? I had to tell him that I was invited by Cujaro."

Hildegard and his two usual valets were on the Hildegard carriage, which seemed to belong to the royal family.

"I don't need to tell you even though I don't have a cooperative relationship yet. Anyway, just compare the conditions on both sides."

"I understand the policy.... so when did you get to Quadjaro?

Sasha asks in a classy white dress... but Hildegart replies carelessly.

"You've changed your driver."

"... be careful. I reprimanded him forcefully because he was driving violently, but he apparently escaped. So I was quickly replaced by a castle soldier... don't you like it?

"Well, it's not bad. Invite him as a driver."

"Yes, yes."

Sasha's arbitrariness is of little interest.

Capacitarianism.

"Prepare yourselves. It is only left because it is excellent. I don't want anyone who can't use it."

"Of course, I understand."

"Yes...."

An exchange while looking out of a raining window.

End the conversation with a minimum of weight for complete profit, not affection.

"Communicate business trips to Cujaro the day before. I want you to set your schedule."

"Sure...."

Reservations for hotels on the way to Cujaro and scheduling work there suddenly arrived.

They've known each other for many years, but the charm of Hildegart's little devil appearance is enormous.

But the dominance and charisma are enough to completely crush it.

I know the horror better than anyone.

"And find out what the prince told you."

"Well, I can't let go of my hand, so Cain will check it out."

"Hmm!?

Sasha and Cain won't be spared overtime for a while.

♢♢♢

The next day.

- This way, please.

School days have returned.

Let me be clear.

Now I have the idea of making money like hot water.

The next target of the Scarlet Chamber of Commerce has already been determined.

But I'll leave it there for now.

While on duty, let's switch and work as a competent employee.

"It's a new one. It's hot, so be careful."

"Uh-huh...."

Currently, we are welcoming one of our best customers and proudly making tea.

"... eh"

"This is Umiye kombu tea that I tried to make. Of course, I tasted it myself and tried it again and again until there was no problem... how about that?"

I'm the Count's son.

She's a shy daughter, a nobleman with social skills, but she can't talk to her surroundings well.

I happened to hear the story, and I suggested that you practice with the edge and this salon again.

"... it feels strange."

"I also prepare my usual tea, so please don't hesitate to let me know if you don't like it"

"Yeah."

The forehair is long enough to cover your eyes, and combined with the sumptuous body and the big atmosphere of the literary girl herself, you get the impression of a small animal.

They also told me that Mob was doing it instead, and it was worth having conversations at the salon several times with both of them, and now I can do these everyday conversations.

At first, I was about to cry just by speaking.

There is a sense of accomplishment, and above all, I am pleased with her growth.

It heals... wow.

"--Glass, you must be here ~ I'm going to the city. Get out of here."

It was like taking a pet dog for a walk, and Princess Erica broke in.

♢♢♢

"... Erica, aren't you late?

"It took a little too long just to call it in, I'm sure."

Three people waited for Erica, who went to fetch glasses at the school gate.

"I can't spend much time asking Marie-san to come all the way out here...."

"I was on holiday too...?

Hakt and Oswald, and even...

"Don't mind me. I'm not going to go out with Erica anymore."

There was Marie as Celeste's guardian knight.

Since the possibility of a spell arose, Hakto was removed from the investigation team, but Alto declined and asked for permission to investigate independently.

The condition given by the strange king was to attach Marie, who was trustworthy and capable.

Renoir was the most powerful, but she was fascinated by Erica's bragging moves and sometimes immersed in her training, and the bowl came around.

"No, I can't let the boulders spend too much time on my self-satisfaction. I'll go and have a look."

That said, I shaken my gray hair and ran well.

……

……

I left two awkward people in front of me...

"Hakto, Hakto."

"Eh!?

Girl students roaring yellow at the running hack....

Hello!

I greeted him with a smile and ran straight through.

One after the other, the women's faces turned red, increasing their fans.

However, when Hakto arrives at the glass salon wanting to take Erica to the investigation sooner than that, he can hear a slight argument from the inside.

"Come on, hurry up...."

Open the door and go inside in a sick mood.

Then, contrary to expectations, Erica and Glass looked at each other in silence.

Regardless of the hack that entered the room, they were looking at what they would give away.

And the silence is broken by Erica's pre-emptive attack.

"... hey! Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

"You can't sing the power song! You can't go. You can't go!

Erica claps and sings, trying to lure the glass out.

Glass braced and stubborn.

"Why! The princess ordered it! Follow me!

"You don't seem to know Erica, but the school's servants also play the role of teachers. I have to teach you how to make a salon. I am therefore a teacher.... no!

A princess and servant quarrel that is inconceivable in common sense.

"Just follow me to the city!?

"What if a servant abandons his job and goes into town? You're gonna want to blow it up, aren't you? If I were you, I'd fire you afterwards.

Indeed... Hakto's feelings of joining Erica fade away.

"You should be fired! I'm working illegally!

"Louder!! What are you going to do if someone asks!!

"No, Mr. Glass is louder."

A glass that argues twice as loudly as Erica.

"I told you before, I'll hire you. Come to my house. Can I live here?

"... there's no room for a suspicious person like me, is there?

"It's okay, I've been thinking about it. The closet in my room is big.

"I'm not a cat robot."

The glass reflexes back to Erica's vagabond saying that she wants her life to be pushed in.

"I'm trying to deceive you by saying something you don't understand again! I'm mad already!

"No, why should I be angry....."

─!

"Erica!?

Erica jumped out of the way to push Hakto away and thought... the rattling footsteps approached immediately.

"--Glass!!

A skilled servant, Glass's boss, walks in with a change of appearance.

"... did you bring the captain? It's embarrassing....."

Fufu

A glass that bites and crushes a bitter bug to Erica, who is good at it.

"Hey you!! I wonder what you're thinking of refusing His Highness's orders!

"...... I pointed out Erica's wagamma and praised her."

"It's selfish...." I'm taking you on a dangerous mission as an escort ". For such a good reason... You call this selfish!? I doubted your ears.

"Oops? It's my first time hearing that."

As Erica raised her lips and smiled like a prank, her glasses narrowed.

"... you're sending a knight or nothing servant on a dangerous mission? Rather than feeling uncomfortable, it's an incomprehensible story that even feels a sense of daze.... you'll get danger pay for this.

Uh-huh, let's consider it.

"I promise. With a raise."

……

Glass gave Erica directions with his gaze to the silent captain.

"... oh, hon!

"Hmm!? Okay... I promise...."

The old butler, reluctant to accept the princess's hasty cough, looked a little old in the meantime.

"... you're so close. To the habit of fighting so much....."

Hakto, who couldn't keep up with the pace of the glass and Erica, murmured in a tiring sigh.
