Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Even a skilled maid loves tea during conversations with an elegant finish that is a nail to the eye.

She is annoyed by her manners, but even though she is a princess, she is taken away by the behavior of her students.

"... fuu"

The second cup was just drained.

Celestia's persuasion, which took so long, could not reach some vain sod.

A sigh of tea leaked out of my mouth.

"My sword with all its spirits has now sinked to the bottom of that lake. As a swordsman, I die, and all that remains is an old man waiting for a calm death.... if you insist, take her with you."

"Killier... Certainly the sword's talent is watchful, but he won't be able to replace you.........................? That's....."

Pay attention to the shadow outside the window.

When the little boy comes to the backyard of the green annex, he starts pretending with a wooden sword after a smiling pose that expresses his motivation.

Hair color is linen.

A soft hue rather than the dark brown seen in generations of Sawden houses.

"..." Were you six years old this year? It's only been a year and you've grown up. "

Bren Sawden, the youngest brother of the Sawden family.

At an innocent age, he shakes his sword with pleasure in a simple slash-down shape.

……

A relaxed, grown-up practice scene with Celestia's unexpectedly relaxed expression.

But... it was obvious that it was too awkward and not blessed with talent.

"--What are you doing!!

Suddenly, the mob and maid in the room jumped with rage at Sod, who suddenly became a leopard.

Bren outside was also surprised and saddened as he was about to cry.

"Don't show the princess anything special!! You be careful what you do!!

"I'm sorry, too. I will take you to your room immediately....."

An old maid, scolded, lowered his head deeply and walked out the door.

There was a cold sweat on his face.

"Sod, cool your head."

"... please forgive me."

Her breath was slightly rough, but she immediately settled down and apologized to the narrow, eye-catching Celestia.

"... haven't you admitted it yet? Isn't it more stubborn than me?"

"The Sword Stream must be strong. That's how I've served Kensei for generations. I can't carry a sword to an immature man more than I was born into the Soden family."

Is the anger still healed? The wrinkles between the eyebrows are deep.

Outside the window, she finally talks to the frustrated maid... and Raghelin leans over to Blen with a look of trouble.

"... I've never met that Dark Elf before, but I've known him before."

"Raghelin. Could it be decades ago...? Several researchers came to the town to investigate the ruins and the Nidai. He's one of them."

Talk about old memories while watching Raghelin encourage Bren to return to his main residence.

"I usually leave it in this house as a teacher. The princess was at the ruins when she arrived. He's possessed by the ruins of Mount Siber."

"Is he the only one left when the others left?

"... part of the ruins collapsed..."

The researchers have no news, leaving behind a dark elf.

Currently, access was prohibited, and only Raghelin, who was familiar with the inside, was allowed to search for his companions.

"In the last few years, I've been struggling to put a sword in Killier, trying to get Bren to study, but still struggling to take care of it."

"That's... a childish person."

Hmm, you must be a freak.

Celestia streams her gaze at the book shelf lined up with material about Nidai as she snorts her nose.

For generations, Soden's people, who are studying only to defeat Nidai, also looked like freaks to Celestia.

……

You will still be able to compete with Alto and others.

I'm sure of that from the temper earlier, but apparently I can't get this stubborn old man back to being a warrior.

"- Her Royal Highness. Eh... I'm ready, so I came to get you."

Raghelin, who opened the door and thanked her, reported promptly.

♢♢♢

A cafeteria for the Sawden family.

The dining hall, which would normally have hosted Celestia and Erica, was filled with tingling and tingling tensions.

"....."

A busy friend wandering around the seat.

The three long, thick brown braids, also known as the main characteristic of the Soden family of generations, were flipping like cloaks when turning their heels back.

"... it looks like they're here. Don't forget the brutality of mercenaries and civilians. The knights around me will never forgive you, even if you don't mind."

They say they don't pick on the words of the feathered lord Lend Sawden, but the people in the room have no colour of dissatisfaction.

Because there are hundreds of them, and it is also of great value to see them in person, if you add.

With that in mind, as he stood up from his chair to greet him, the door of the dining room was quietly opened.

"--Thank you all for waiting."

Celestia Wright.

As if it were a journey costume, the Heavenly Girl dances down and stands up in thanklessness to her clear voice.

"Eh...."

……

Everyone's breathtaking beauty and divinity drove her golden hair to the top of an elongated table and lowered her hips to an extraordinarily luxurious chair pulled by a servant of black hair glasses.

Even the routine part seemed to be watching a well-finished play.

"... hey, it's dazzling. My eyes are tingling. It's sparkling, what the hell...."

"Shut up, please. I don't want to get into any more trouble with Mr. Souma."

Celestia's clear beauty, with her guard knights and servants behind her, overwhelms the firefighter Souma, who brought her apprentice, and the spearman Lance, who was accompanied by her.

It is a beauty that nods even if it is not a demon king, it is a beauty that I want to get with any hand.

"Now, let's get started. This town and your survival are at stake, so come with me. Never tell anyone about me."

Celestia's opening words draw back the consciousness of those who were fascinated by her finished beauty.

However, there are still some who can't stop their gaze from sucking on their rich chest and so on.

After all, my anxious friend figured it out so he could buy them some time to get back to their senses...

"... princess, before we do that... let me introduce you to the skilled mercenaries who were in this town."

"You don't have to. I've been briefed on the journey by your assistant."

Celestia glanced at Raghelin before refusing to take care of her friend.

"Well, the mercenaries are also good at this field, so I wonder if it would be a loss to know....."

"Apart from the name and gender, I think I'll make up for it with the information I actually saw right now. For example... Mr. Assangia."

Celestia's gaze runs to the head of a group of tanned brown-skinned female mercenaries wrapped around a turban that is still standing.

A few days ago, she was the only one to solve the large-scale brawl between the rough guys, and she was highly regarded by her friend, but was summoned to do so.

"Looks like you've crossed the Kihanai Desert from the south. He's a fine man with a body, and he's a fighter who handles two famous song swords around here."

"... no matter what. This town, famous for its sword, has been visited by my grandmother before, and we should come once, as soon as we visit."

"Assangia”, the architect of the [Dancing Two-Blade (Shalatra)], who seemed to be silent, broke his abs into eight pieces peeking from high-exposure ethnic costumes, answered Celestia honestly.

The muscular arms are filled with unique pattern tattoos, and the hair is carefully braided, making them powerful enough to cross compared to horses and the like.

"Those of you who have arrived without major injuries are genuinely talented. Some people seem to be able to use a bow, and there is no doubt that it is a great force.... right?

"Wonderful, bright eyes....."

Assangia nodded with a red face and a dazzling smile that reflected Celestia's afterglow.

"In addition, the famous martial artist, Souma, and traveler Lance, who handles assault spears. Deep has the skills to travel around alone. If we add our troops to this, we will be able to deal with it in a good way."

Celestia worries slightly and without doubt.

If you don't know the rumors, if you have the beauty, there must be some people who resent what the unknown princess says.

"Now, I will explain that you can help me in exchange for rewards by being here, and I will tell you the subject immediately.... the problem around this lake today is that a unique species with intelligence to lead monsters such as goblins will have been born."

"Nh...!

"Not to mention, what's in this town just around the corner..."

Assangia and strangers make noise by changing their expressions, and the horses bother their heads.

If they were young and immature, they would have wondered if they were the work of famous human monsters in the Republic of Ralman.

However, since Goblin was in service, I knew that these powerful men weren't the monsters.

Goblins work wisdom to pass the name of a bad child, and are very difficult to handle and vulnerable to it. Even if you train, people will betray you safely.

Therefore, the most likely is the birth of an intelligent monster. The idea was that it would be possible for a family member to serve as a soldier.

"We were assaulted by one of the forces that the unique species would lead. However, we will scout and find the squadron before it is invaded and destroy its own species. I can already see what I'm doing."

Simply put, the lord's friend has always left his scouts in the woods. Sometimes they greeted Celestia, and they watched the monsters thoroughly.

That ended up in prison this time.

In other words, if the unique species is taken seriously, it is possible that the scouts will be able to scratch through their eyes and move their fleet.

"I know what you're trying to say... but there's one other person I want to tell you."

Celestia's atmosphere turns into something terribly serious.

Celestia told the mercenaries that her spine was growing naturally.

"Remember, there's an informant in this that connects to its own species..."

The upset runs through.

A companion of the intelligent monster is mixed up in this little space.

"Someone, including a servant of the Soden family, is divulging information. When and where you attacked me when you visited me secretly."

"... how do you know I was targeting His Highness?

Lance raises legitimate questions.

"That's because the parchment, which was carefully written in human letters earlier, fell in front of the door of this mansion. It was pretty hard to read, but it contained their demands."

Raghelin, with a difficult face, tells a serious story.

"The request is for Her Royal Highness Princess Celestia and the Relic."

... in a quiet room.

Some people shut up without showing any reaction to what they expected.

I heard Raghelin continue to open her mouth as she sighs out of nowhere more than once.

"Of course, handing over cannot mean anything. The handing over of His Highness alone would not have made this town free, and vice versa."

Dark Elf Raghelin asserts from his long life experience.

Terribly realistic.

"In the first place, as a nobleman of the Kingdom of Light, it's out of the question to present a princess."

Len, whose tone had grown stronger since she was irritated, told her to stick a nail.

"If I tell you one more thing, you don't have to rely on it. Don't divulge information, including about the princess."

"... the [Siege Army], right? I know."

A group of mercenaries [Siege Corps] hired by the rebels to drop several fortifications in Quadjaro.

The leader, Gundo, was personally invited by King Cujaro, who had only two.

One is a [flame lion] that everyone is afraid of. From this, the people of other countries tremble just to hear its name.

"But if you have informants, it's useless to keep information secret."

"Assange is right. But first, let's search the surrounding woods with your help to find the unique species. Find it and I will crush it. Regarding informants, we will investigate. I will definitely expose it by tomorrow."

Short statement of policy to address Assange's concerns.

"Until then, please act with suspicion that the person next to you sold your soul to the monster. Even if you know that you don't have to worry, I will instruct you with the meaning of confirmation. Let's make sure you don't completely believe that we know each other."

Clear Celestia's eyes tie the gathered together.

"The town is now visited by many nobles and tourists, including Erica. When there is a fuss, we have to allocate people to accommodate it. It is very dangerous to be targeted at that time of confusion. Be careful not to get caught up. And if the monsters ever show signs of a total attack... we need your help."

Celestia's prestige is unfortunately exerted even in the presence of many people from other countries.

Enchanted by their charisma, the strong are swallowed by their tokens.

However, considering the terrain of this town, where there was no escape, it was clear that they had to help themselves, who had become skilled through talent and combat experience.

"Well, that thing...."

"Oh, that's right. I have to tell you this too."

Celestia added to Ragheline's advice that she was sweating at the tension she feared talking about in front of the real princess.

"Apparently, these unique species are named after the Black Demon King Army."

………

……

…

We divided the most powerful Souma with Assangia, decided on the scope and timetable of the demon army search, and the meeting continued until evening.

After that, secrets such as the demon king's army and Celestia were repeatedly said, and the princess and the others left.

"... well, even people from other countries want to rely on it. The Demon King Army... If what they say is true, I'm sorry for the free of charge... I was about to meet the first division commander of the [Knights Without Flags], famous for spear use. and cheeks....."

Later, in the cafeteria, there were people with pale heads.

Sit on a chair and bow forward to support your favorite assault spear.

A mere tourist coming from the Principality was an unfortunate man who had met the princess of another country and was caught up in a problem that threatened the survival of the town, even being suspected by informants.

"That's why you should use anything you can. In essence, it's an ordered position, but of course."

A deep face that can easily be imagined to look skinny and tough, with arms braced on a obese stomach.

Words seem to show understanding, but there are wrinkles between the eyebrows.

"Besides, he's an informant. If that's the case, the people who knew Princess Celestia's visit... are the lords and the sours... But maybe the first thing I suspect is....."

"We must be from another country. I doubt the possibility of anyone working as an agent."

A magical conversation between Lance and Deep that can't hide your fatigue.

"The Assangeans I was talking to the princess... it looks like they've already gone scouting."

"We seem to be fine at night. You'd better sleep inside now."

On the verge of getting up to take a nap in a room with a deep, sinister face,

"Hello, both of you. I'm free till night. Let's go somewhere! They're going to sleep with their disciples! Let go of my master, you're a bunch of them!

……

A cheerful sour who had a light greeting with Raghelin and the others put their shoulders together and invited them out into the brain weather.

There were blood vessels floating between the two turtles.

Then Celestia, who was heading to her room with her own servants, escorts, and friends, began talking casually about the room.

"... I told them, but now that we don't know the power of the Demon King army and can't even grasp its location, if we don't choose a word, we are exposed to a disadvantage."

"I see...."

"And...."

She said indifferently to her ruthless friend.

"... I won't go into detail, but those who connect with the monster are very ruthless. People who don't choose the means. That's why I have the idea of killing all the people in the city and achieving my goals."

The vicious killer statues, too, breathed in Celestia's sight.

"I flew with a sentence for the emergency bird, but there are many places on the road that are easy to ambush and intercept. Even if the army arrived, it was three days early. In the meantime, it will definitely move."

It is predicted to be three or four days, as there is a large city far away where the Royal Army can be stationed.

"However, they won't be attacking for now. If that were the case, the whole army would have already come to town, and there would have been more ambushes against me."

"... why? I'm not saying I don't want to sacrifice anything, and I'm sure you want more artifacts and your Highness...."

Even Raghelin, a long-lived species and counselor to the Soden family, was creepy and suffering from understanding.

"You might be surprised.

"You don't want to reduce the gesture...? How much wisdom did the monster have in mind....."

"Don't you think it's the Devil's orders?

"... that's a word, but the Demon King doesn't seem to think so."

That's true, too.

Raghelin finds out in the current exchange that they are suspected and that Celestia does not think they are on her side.

"Maybe it's a solution for the informant, or maybe he thinks I'm going to escape alone if I attack him all at once... for example, if he's a friend, would he choose to miss me in the worst case?

"That's... when I think of the town of Lake, it's a tough decision to drop you off with one of my best abilities, but perhaps I would suggest so."

"If you're smart, I bet you are. Your father also told me to take Erica and the other one for evacuation as a matter of the highest priority."

Questions for your friends.

Needless to say Celestia, I know Erica, but... is there one more priority?

Eventually, however, I remembered the swordsman of the young maiden and scattered doubts in my head.

"The only reason I can think of is... maybe I'm cautious because I'm in an unexpected situation"

"Unscheduled....."

"Yes, fufu, there was, wasn't there? The miracle of God's extraction appeared at an unprecedented time."

Get up from the sofa and walk to the window.

"Yes... it's Asura-san."

Under the window, I slowly shake the black sword with a spear-dancing motion... demon.

Even in this town where there are many martial arts artists, there are strong people of different qualities who do not know the bottom of their strength.

Undoubtedly the best samurai who anticipates death just by face-to-face.

"If we run him well, it will be possible to welcome the Demon King army if he doesn't even appear.... thank God for sending Ashra."

"Nh!!

A slight shadow of Celestia's glossy eyes hurts her jumping heart.

"It's a joke. Listen to the nonsense.... that's all right with you. In the meantime, be alert to informants connected to the Demon King Army."

"" Hah!!

Make the knight feel dangerous by ordering him to be generous.

"Yes, that's fine. Please be sure to let Seuma and Assange act separately. I'm going to take a break."

Celestia, who had turned into a girl of her own age, entered the room from the door opened by her servants, leaving her friends and guards behind.

"... somehow, you're a terrible person. With him, things are going to be really good. Overnight, while I'm surrounded by books and immersed in research...?

I have been studying the history of this town for a long time, and Raghelin, who was a counselor to the Soden family for some time, has lost his mind.

"I'd say it's not true... but it's not going to happen all the time."

"... I've been a scholar for over a hundred years. I wonder if I have the talent to use my head...."

"I don't have time to mourn. Master Celestia must have given Assangia some sort of letter. I'm sure you had an idea of where to explore. Doctor, we need to make arrangements. Mercenaries cannot afford to be late. If they take advantage of you, they'll pay you more."

"I thought it was for the people in the familiar town... I wonder..."

She took Raghelin, a disappointed friend, to clean up the pile of work.

………

……

…

"... it looks like he's gone."

Beyond the door, Mob, who saw the distant footsteps of his friends and knights, told Celestia.

Together, it changes from a glass to a girl's maid.

Because this princess hates to take the shape of a glass if she doesn't need it.

Really?... fufu, I'm looking forward to it. "

"Looking forward to it? It is unusual for Master Celeste to find pleasure besides His Majesty. Even in a situation where I don't know where my informant is, I'm impressed by his calmness. Your Majesty will be delighted."

……

It was Celestia who walked gently to the window with the curtains open and smiled in a good mood, but she only smiled slightly at Mob's view, which could be described as plain madness.

"That Ashra man is under His Majesty's command, isn't he? Lilia-san, you don't seem to know anything about us... I wonder if His Majesty would have sent you with a broken heart."

……

It was a different word than I expected, but I couldn't resist it and expressed joy in my mouth.

"Are you worried about the existence of informants and the Demon King army...? I don't think it's really Your Majesty's army, and I'm worried about Celeste when there's a traitor."

An unspoiled mob opens a curtain with a smooth feel and explains the tea that was prepared in advance in the room.

It is only prepared for Celestia, which is called the goddess, and offers high-quality items ranging from curtains, furniture, and accessories.

At last, when Mob exhaled, Celestia opened her mouth with a sigh.

"... I don't know what to say. ----If you're an informant, we've narrowed it down to three more."

The words of Celestia, most easily spinned.

"Eh... ah, now what?

"Otherwise, I wouldn't bother holding meetings like that."

……

"I also have an idea of who it is. I can also read the general outline of what the other person will be doing in the future, and I've already finished some of my training."

In reality, the open mouth wasn't blocked...

I've experienced Celestia's superior mind to say no, but this time... it was the depth and speed of reading that I thought would approach the Demon King.

"All we have to do is use the power we have now to stop the disturbances and tell you. Our value....."

“Theoretical Conspiracy." Celestia used it to praise the Lord one day, but Celestia now correctly embodies that word.

Celestia's clean beauty is transformed by the oblique sun from the back window into a dark and demonic appearance by the shadow.

The face of a beautiful girl lurks, and the face of a woman in darkness emerges.

The beautiful princess of the devil deserves the appearance and wisdom.

"There is no escape, there is an army of monsters somewhere. There are informants lurking here, and there are members of [Kronos] who are hostile to me.... but you're going to make it."

The light of a jewel-like and glorious eye is the glow of prestige. It shines sharply in the dark, and even the mastermind has already begun to set the stage.

Use your hands and feet to manipulate the tokens in Lake City.

"Failure is not acceptable. This is a unique opportunity to show me the“ seat "I deserve."

(... "Seat"...?

Certainly Celestia sat down and talked.

It was a word I didn't know about Mob, but somehow I felt attracted to him.

I get the impression of being honorable rather than sweet.

"But... two, three, there are still problems that cannot be ignored."

"When I say...?

"First, we don't have enough time."

No matter how many monsters have appeared, the merchant who hires an armed escort won't listen.

And when the feast is finished, he that leaveth shall surely come forth.

"Tomorrow is the last day of the Feast of the Murder Sword. It is almost impossible to put an end to everything by tomorrow. One, there's a way to prolong it, but it won't be possible."

Close your eyes and walk through your thoughts, and focus on what to worry about.

Erica, too, will soon know that she is visiting here.

If merchants and residents were slaughtered there, the princess would be disillusioned.

In the current state of affairs here, it had to be avoided. Because the Light Kingdom is not a single rock.

"One more thing, I can't guarantee that Asla will listen to my instructions."

Currently, the demon boasts a strength that no one can handle.

"... I know it's shallow..."

"That must be avoided the most."

Prefetch and respond to Mob's words.

Talking about their specificities and asking for their cooperation, they reject the proposal without care.

Naturally, if I gave Chrono's name, I would help him no matter how Asla was.

But it wasn't one of Celestia's choices.

"You've been underestimating Kronor's failure to tell Asla and Lilia about us."

"I don't know... does that mean anything?

To Celestia, who is convinced, Mob immediately turns his mind around.

"I know exactly what Kurono-sama is telling you... but I'm just putting it behind me..."

In front of Celestia, he swallows the word "forget", chooses a word, and makes his head work.

"It is true that Kurono-sama has such a lovely side. But in this case, if you think about it deliberately, it's all connected."

"....."

An unspeakable fear of Mob rang his throat.

…………

It was a deliberate refusal to take off even Celestia's hair.

Set in the town of Lake here, the Devil's arm moves everything around him as he pleases.

They are on a board prepared by the Great Lord.

So....

"... you'll see. We need to solve these problems and show you results that exceed expectations. You will see it somewhere, my lord."

Mob blames himself for the shallowness, unintentionally murmuring.

"No way... they're already near us...?

"The possibilities are very strong."

The Demon King can change his appearance, and no one knows when and where he hides.

It's no wonder he's replaced the Mansion, or even now he's born out of the darkness in the corner of the room.

"I'm sure you'll be watching me nearby. It's a rhetoric that makes you feel bored.... I'll show you something better than a first-class opera."

"... I'll do my best to help you."

The side of the demon goddess in Celestia that reappeared.

Without doubting your abilities, you smile with confidence and purpose in your chest.

It is such a time.

Onee-sama ─ ─!

A pleasant voice broke down the monstrous atmosphere and was heard from the hallway through the door.

With loud footsteps.

Apparently, he returned from today's "Banquet of the Sword of Murder" and came to tell his sister his thoughts.

And without asking permission, he opened the door and stepped in.

"... Erica, that's how the lady..."

"I picked up an interesting kid!!

As if to show off the puppy picked up on the side of the road, I pushed what I was holding in front of Celestia.

……

……

It was neither a puppy nor a kitten.

"... chu, chuu..."

A tight-haired black-haired child was captured.

"... ah..."

"My sister fell down!!
