Story of The Ancient Demon King!

While Erica was struggling to get the glass out of the salon, Alto was on her own and interviewing one of the suspects.

"--Ah, I left the party and went back to the museum immediately. The butler, the servant, the driver of the carriage... doesn't make any sense."

A body far above Alto, including a small crown above its head.

Sink on your own luxurious sofa and chat with Alto while enjoying the aroma of tea.

I see. The testimony has no meaning. You are too afraid. Those close to you will never testify against you. "

"Oh no. I can't believe you're afraid... Don't you think I'm admired? Hey?"

Madam asks for approval from the butler next door.

"Sit as you say."

"Thank you, Sydge.... I wonder why they suspected me in the first place?

Alto answers plainly to Madame's question of applying a thick makeup and a soft face.

"'Cause you're buying all sorts of magic gear in preparation for the chairman of the Scarlet Chamber of Commerce."

……

I stopped tilting Madame's cup.

He spoke clearly of his “physique” and deliberately overshadowed the existence of Hildegart, who was at odds with Madame.

Neither Deacon Sydges nor the knights behind Alto can hide the fear born of Madame's change.

"... there are times when magic tools mix together and spells come out."

Let me look into the building and you.

Immediately and urgently, Madame Mansion's concierge.

However, Alto does not care about the surroundings, making Madame angry and trying to find any inconsistencies from his words and testimony.

But Madam was blurry.

"Oh, I wish you had told me that earlier."

"... do you agree?

I don't think he nods instantly, but Alto is confused too.

"Yeah, right away. Because I'm not the killer. I've never moved on to clear my suspicions before."

"... get ready"

Madame smiles with plenty of room for nothing, and while Alto feels something caught, he orders his men to enter and investigate.

"We will spare no effort to cooperate. I don't think so... I haven't seen a spell on the market in the last few months. The killer must have cursed himself. There is a catalogue of magical instruments and spells that Ashika has studied so far, so please check it out as much as you like if you need it."

"... thank you for your cooperation"

The catalogue is fascinating, even though it's an alto that doesn't fall into my heart.

"No, it's not peaceful to escape... and above all, I have a purpose, so I'd like to focus on you."

It has nothing to do with religions such as Enze.

Living only with interest in mind, my queen.

Alto was on high alert that his suspicions were still unsettled.

♢♢♢

Alto, who had left Madame's Mansion, was heading for a church that was right next to the glasses... where he was walking along the river and remembering the bitter memories of the casino.

There were two people in front of the church, where everyone refused to go, because it was just in front of the bridge that crossed the pleasure city.

"Father, thank you so much..."

Even as disturbing rumors begin to emerge about Enzionism, deep-rooted beliefs cannot be wiped out.

Really emphasise, and some men kneel and cry to pray and show gratitude.

A man who had suffered from the curse he had been subjected to for many years.

After dozens of treatments, she was successfully de-cursed and returned to her healthy body today.

"Oh! I don't know what to say! It is my mission to save the faithful! Rather, I want to thank you for the happiness you will continue to pray with me!

The priest was big.

A muscle that pushes up a priest's festive attire.

A giant Bible in my right hand.

Square thick faces and threads.

Enzekian priest, "Shock Nandial".

They face the illness and curse of the people who live near Happy City, and are regarded as personalities who take care of their children during the day.

"How merciful... The day will soon come when you will become Archbishop. I'm sure."

"Nhahahaha. It is happiness to serve [White Heavenly Woman] and be able to serve him every day. I have nothing more to wish for. Would it be?

"... you are a true devout believer."

The man released from the curse now lowers his head to shock as he shed tears like a waterfall.

Then, after a few more conversations like this, the man finally leaves and returns to the church with the shock shaking the giant body.

Then, when the shock enters, when the door opens, small children flock in.

"Father ~, play!

"Push it together!

"I want to hear the story of 'Scarlet Earth'!!

"That's because I'm scared...."

Surrounded by children, she laughed with joy.

"Nhahaha! Then I'll take a nap after playing with all my heart. At that time, I want to hear the scary story of" Scarlet Earth ". That's what we're gonna do today."

"" Ha!

"Eh..."

Both agree and disagree with Nikoniko, and on the verge of calling out from her throat to play,

"... I'm sorry. It looks like a customer has arrived."

Hmm ~

"Come on, I want you to talk inside a little more."

Push the backs of the grumbling children back into the church... and look back at the incoming Alto.

"... it's a lot of stuff, but what is it?

Shock slightly opens the thread and exposes vigilance.

"The one who doesn't leak out of the example and doesn't like it from Enzionism? Not only the curse, but also the doctor's imitation. Though it is a good thing, I heard that there are no locking tools. Is it cured properly?

Since Jan, the bishop of Enzionism, was taken away, this shock was most powerful in terms of body and curse.

Alto first tries to catch a glimpse of the character and inner side of the shock, the second suspect, as in Madame's case.

"Exactly!!

……

I got angry without putting it in my hair.

"The upper layers of Enzionism don't turn enough even a clean cloth! There's no way they're going to have any tools! A doctrine for what? The church for whom! I don't know what Enze is without saving it!!

I was furious with my bosses.

Peel off the thread and step on the dungeon.

Each time, the ground is shaking slightly.

"Ha, ha, ha, ha, excuse me... His Highness Alto's words revealed his daily passion....."

"No... let's get down to business."

Alto was equally tired.

………

……

…

I will escort Alto and his knights as they leave.

And I see the usual girl coming in the wrong way.

"... hey, Father. That's it. It seemed like a lot of stuff."

"Hmm, anything seems like I'm suspected of being responsible for some sort of incident."

Shock explaining the trouble to the girl in the dealership.

Heh... What happened to Tom and Anna's cold?

"Are you not interested in me....."

I dropped my shoulders and returned to the church.

"It has already healed. I was totally fine this morning, but just in case, I told him to be quiet today."

"Oh, I've been in a hurry for days... thank goodness. I can go to work with peace of mind tonight."

"Lana is a child."

"Kids in Happy City twist as they grow up! We just need someone to grow up properly from right now on!

He went back into the church in an unusual conversation.

♢♢♢

When Alto finishes telling Hakt about today's events, he rearranges the Great Sword.

"I checked with the Cursed Light Stone during the interview with the priest, but there was no sign of a curse. And the church.... the remnants of the curse were found in the clinic built on the edge of the site, but there was someone who was de-cursed just before, and you took the back, but there was nothing suspicious about it. And to himself."

"... it's still possible that Madame and the shock could be the killer."

I see. And so are they, but we still have other lines to look into. I wish I had a thread somewhere. "

Alto's prediction that he did not curse himself more than once was that if Madame and Shock were the killers, the Cursed Light Stone would have reacted.

If that is not the case, other possibilities must also be explored.

However, Madam is a party attendee and is able to infiltrate the castle, and Father Shock, the same Enzekian, has a motive from where Bishop Jan escaped. The suspect's suspicions are still strong.

"The other one is...."

From now on. He... I don't think he'll use a curse, but when I heard he could kill soldiers and knights without turning them into objects, I thought of him first. "

"From now on... maybe today!?

During the day, they visit madame and shock, and at night they say they are going to meet after training.

In addition, there are regular jobs and jobs for cougars and the like.

It's not like I'm busy.

"That's right. I'm not going there lightly. We have to hide close to closing in a few hours."

……

The third suspect.

Win by enlarging the gambling stadium inherited from previous generations and beating it back from the front no matter how many criminal organizations and killers target it.

It also has charismas that are admired by militant groups.

A man called “The Undefeated Fighter," who carries the legend of undefeated, and lives the pleasure city with his arms.

"... Gerald..."

At that time...

There were no prisoners or guards in the camp tower.

The mysterious intruder's claw marks are fully restored and the normal silence returns to the circular prison.

When the two regular footsteps echoed and the sound stopped, a misplaced person appeared in front of a cell.

"How are you?"

"Hmm!?

In the jail, Juan, relying on the moonlight and silently reading the materials, reacted and immediately knelt down.

"... please be rude. Please forgive me."

"I don't mind. It's not in public, and I just wanted to talk to you a little bit. It's a little breathless."

With one knee poking at Juan... Celestia smiles.

"After all, you're not a vendetta against your country. He's right."

……

Juan can't look up at the beauty of Celestia in the dark prison hallways.

Despite being the country's top princess, I feel uncomfortable with his words (...).

Explore your thoughts as to whether King Wright or Alto reported it.

"So, what do you know?

"Before answering your question, please be respectful.... do you have your permission?"

Juan's loyalty is still in the country and in King Wright.

Speaking of princesses, we can't talk about secrets without the permission of King Wright or Alto, who is in charge.

"Fufu. I thought you'd say that. Marie?"

"Ha... this way."

With a charming smile that might even take Juan prisoner if she was careless, she gave instructions behind her back, and Marie walked out in response and showed him the King's permission.

"Look... sure. But...."

"Don't you have any idea?

"Ha, you're right. The curse is shaped differently by the curser. However, it is hard to believe that these direct effects, such as the destruction of the prison, are caused by magic."

Having checked the permit, Juan answered deceitfully.

"If there was a scene left, or if there was something you might know, there's nothing more from this material alone...."

Really? The kind of curse is troublesome after all. Especially since anything unknown, like this one, has no clues. "

"Exactly... that's right"

Celestia is largely unexpected.

"But I wonder if Gerald, the head of the suspect named 'Harmit', had anything to do with this."

"... why is that? You seem very confident."

Juan may not know, but Celestia and Marie have a revival of their past struggles.

"If only we could infiltrate the castle, he won't have to use a curse. No matter how powerful our soldiers and knights may be, it will be difficult to hurt him. I don't think that the walls of that tower would be kicked down by him."

Juan's words that even make me feel respected.

"... that's what you're going to say, so it must be terrifying. I hope we don't bump into each other by accident."

A man whose steel flesh does not pass properly with a blade, and who still does not know defeat with the suspicious power of man or doubt.

In the end, I swallowed favorable conditions for winning, but Celestia and Marie fought alone, a genuine monster who didn't take a step.

"Even the Light Kingdom is the best at swordsmanship, just in case. I want you to put your safety first when you encounter it."

"Thank you for your concern. Let's do it."

No matter how strong the bracelet is, I don't want to be able to lower the casino sales, but Celestia groans coldly in her heart.

Juan kneeling down in such a slight silence breaks modestly.

"... that benevolence..."

It's not Gerald that was on the subject earlier.

Cerestia and Marie immediately realized that the words leaked out of curiosity... whether it was glass or not.

I had to worry about it because I got that trick.

……

"Isn't that wonderful? I am also a very helpful servant. I also cared about you. There must be some reason why the curse experiment can't be handed over."

Certainly I would like to ask someone, but Celestia stopped interrogating me because she wasn't willing to answer.

"Aside from Mr. Glass... let's think about yourself. Your position is more dangerous than showing a blade in front of Princess Erica. I've been on an assassination mission, and I'm under suspicion of being a detective in another country."

Speak calmly and flatly with a warm, loving smile on your face.

Although it is a beauty that will captivate thousands of people, Juan has an unknown anxiety about its perfection and the invisible Celestia in this situation, which he knows is not hostile to himself.

Not on the side of the kingdom. It's not worth showing inside and talking emotionally.

Though unlikely, such thoughts come to mind.

"... I'm prepared because I made a mistake. But there has been and will be only one way to go. I will only serve His Majesty with my whole body. No matter how you get punished, it doesn't change."

Show loyalty to King Wright, not Celestia.

"Fufu... you're really good. Your father will be pleased."

Your back is drenched with cold sweat.

Celestia was supposed to be praised for her joyful words.

"Your commitment to resolving this case is at stake. I can't do anything, but I hope I can make a big difference."

"... thank you, happiness..."

Scary.

In the alley, there are stories of greedy [Black Demon King], noble black knights, and monster orcs that synthesize dragons.

... but the goddess who praised Juan with this cold smile couldn't understand a bit, could not know the bottom, and was more terrifying than anything else.
