Story of The Ancient Demon King!

Episode 10: Two Rocks Now

"... Phew, I'm already at ease with this condition."

Raghelin checked Bren's condition, who repeatedly breathed roughly in bed, and finished the treatment.

"Well, I want you to keep me awake for a while.It's absolutely quiet until you can move properly. "

"I see. How about dinner?

"I was wondering if you could get me something nice for my stomach.I'll see if I can eat it again. "

"I'll tell the chef."

"Yeah... ahh, and..."

Instruct the maid one after the other while cleaning up the medical equipment in the bag.

"So far, there are just a few caveats.Of course, but let me know as soon as things change. "

"- How pathetic.Will my porridge help? "

The child's voice rises directly behind Raghelin, who stood up trying to leave.

"... no, what are you doing?

"Huh? It's so hot, I thought I'd at least wipe your sweat off."

Soon, a civilian child of Coct, who was entering the room, used a towel to wipe the sweat off Bren's forehead with a dextrous hand.

A servant who seems to be the younger brother of the glass who has completed the [nidai collapse] of the side, assists with this.

"... because I have a wooden stick attached to a fish."

The child was dazed, and as everyone walked about saying what they were all saying, an obviously frustrating voice was thrown up.

Naturally, everyone's interest shifts to Killier, the Lord of that voice.

Whatever it was, the sharply narrowed eagle's eyes were ejecting Bren, but he gently took his gaze off and left.

"What was that?!I don't need to say that!!He's my brother! I don't know what that means!... I don't know what that means!!

Despite being the most outsider in the Mansion, it is even more intense than necessary.

"Go all the way to the room and say!?Besides, I'm suffering from a sick man.... I can't stand it anymore!I'll preach to you!

With even more indignation, he rolls his arms and then chases after him.

"... ah, what is she...?"

…………

After explaining the precautions and prescriptions to the maid, I left the children's room and went to report to the princess at an early stage.

There were many people in Celestia's room lit by candlesticks, waiting patiently for the diagnosis from Raghelin.

"... there's nothing wrong with life, and I recover in the morning...That's a good report.First of all, I was relieved. "

"... it was easy to identify the poison because the dagger was left behind, and it's extremely small, so don't worry.There will be no sequelae of concern. "

Before Celestia breathes at her desk, Ragheline and her friends feel a swallowing atmosphere, and their heartbeat is just rising.

"Lend, now that this is happening, Bren, I'll have you escorted."

"No, I don't need it!Assangia and the others who scouted the ruins reported no escape!You shouldn't have to split the power for one child!

"I decided I needed it.Asunci-san, please choose a candidate. "

Assangia lightly lowered her head and accepted Celestia's stubborn decision not to disagree with her strong rebellion.

"Celestia!!

"You have to concentrate tomorrow.... you know everything, right?

"Hmm... I understand."

Easily pulls back before the goddess's sharp glow.

"Now, I'm going to have a little discussion with this person (...), so I'm going to dissolve.The key players will not be able to relax until tomorrow's battle is over, but once it's over, let's take off the wings and enjoy the feast. "

Even though I said that with a smile that soothed the people around me... the sense of urgency remained tight in the room.

Lucky for you, tomorrow's massive enemy army is still a great deal of pressure.

…………

A big man sitting on a large, single-seated sofa with his back facing this way.

Tilt a large bottle with a thick arm and drink it out of your throat with a very strong spirit that you only like dwarfs.

If I had this guy... no, if I had this guy, I would have won.Everyone is so excited about their body that even people are looking forward to tomorrow.

"... excuse me. You can't leave without him.Too dangerous. "

Asunción, who was already a budding loyalty to the rest of the world, tells him not to yield to Asra's pressure.

Everyone's heart shrinks in front of them as soon as it passes.

"I plan to entrust Asla with an important role.It's a secret to the Kingdom, so I can't even listen to my friend.And if he were to avenge me, he would have already acted. "

…………

"You must be tired.Rest in moderation. "

If it is shown to be a state secret, it is difficult to contest it regardless of one's own country or another.

Not to mention being a Celestia opponent, it was impossible to persuade by speech.

…………

…………

While Lilia served, Asla and Celestia were silent and enjoyed alcohol and tea at a low, long table.

Mist later, huh?

――――

Mist appeared behind Celestia in response to Lilia's call outside the window.

"... the liquor doesn't empty to drink water.People will crush it with a bottle. "

…………

She asked Asla, who was always silently opening the bottle, with a leeway smile.

"What can I do for you?"

Tell me who targeted that kid.

The hand that had been stretched to the newly poured cup stopped.

That child must be Bren.However, Asla, who was indifferent to matters other than martial arts, felt very uncomfortable asking.

"... what are you going to do with him if you tell him?

I'll take care of it now.

"Then I refuse.I'll tell Kurono-san the reason first. "

"Nann. Say it."

Asla interrogates severely, but Celestia talks about tea as if it were the wind blowing.

But I'm not going to leave my informant alone with Celestia.

Targeting Bren at this timing means that there is a chance of winning by listening to Astra's strength.

Or is there something you want to get even if you ignore the power?

Either way, he has a firm will to act.

…………

Nevertheless, Celestia chooses a solution that would be emotionally better than a forceful decision by her own hands.

"You didn't seem to care about her either, but was there any change in mood?

"It doesn't change. That child is sincere to Wu.He is staring purely at the sword.I deserve Krono-sama's side more than you do. "

"... I'm in trouble.I don't know why they hate me so much. "

"Nonsense."

One kick.

If you don't know, Asla intensifies her anger against Celestia.

"You used him to move me...?

"Nh......"

Celestia, who was staring at the demon with a harsh gaze, was small and scared.

The pressure of Asla (pressure) is not the reason.

“Using Chrono", if anyone knew what this meant, it made sense for everyone to be as blue as the dead, regardless of their strength or size.

…………

Lilia, who was clearing the bottle of alcohol, was also concerned about the suspicions that had arisen.

I was naturally aware of the cutlass on my waist from the slight smoking rage.

If it is true, it will never be forgiven.If you ask me which way to go, I'll be on Asla's side without any doubt.

"You thought your head was empty?Did Kronor put that brave man in my sight to get me back to the mercenaries?

During Bren's rescue, Chrono's direct orders were absolutely necessary to beat Asla, who was deaf.

"... Kurono-sensei has been very helpful."

"I guess so. Of course, I'm sure they helped us out on the horizon.Needless to say. "

It was too early to call it disturbance, and Lilia, who was watching, was breathtaking at the hostility between the two men, who were about to explode.

"But it's not."

…………

"Without Krono-sama, there would have been no solution.That's... no, it's a funny story that counts as one of the means and the power to fight in the first place.You don't deserve it, do you? "

Lack of competence is a sin to these people.

All kinds of gatherings of prominent people, such as the wise, the mighty, and the bright in old magic, must serve the king sitting on the throne.

"Where can I put my faith in the instructions of such a person?I don't need your help. There is no reason to leave a disturbing species behind.Answer me now. "

"Then I order you as [first seat].I'll take care of it, so don't hesitate to protect them (...) as planned. "

…………

…………

Threaten from the front and order from the front.

Hit a hostile line of sight, relaxed and defenseless, even though they are already in each other's fightable space.

"... if they are competent, they will admit it somewhat, and they will obey each other who worship the same existence, which can be called kings and teachers.But.... "

Asla stood up.

Grab the back of a heavy sofa and your fingers break through the leather.

Instead of an illustration, a hundred kilometres of sofa is likely to be thrown into Celestia.

"But what?"

Celestia, on the other hand, leans her head with a lovely, jittery expression without moving at all.

"............!

The bewildered Lilia marvels at the black decorative sword that came into her hands without anyone's understanding.

Because I can see through her heart that I intend to beat this demon.

"Are you proud of the way it looks?I can see as many things as I want instead of you.Kurono-sama also said that there should be a spark. "

"That's right. I think so too."

With strength in Asla's fiercely smiling arms, Celestia's eyes and body begin to light up with strong light.

"I'll take your place.Rest assured. "

"Sparks will eventually explode and burn out.Buy only the courage to make a big deal out of me. "

Point your own words unilaterally, not in conversation.

"Chi, hey.Are you sure you were going to fight?

Lilia, who was cowardly and quiet, finally tried to stop the two of them...

"--I 'm home."

The door opens and Chrono enters with a mob.

When I saw Chrono, I was nervous about Asla, who was angry, and Mist, who slept flat.

Welcome back, Mr. Krono.

At some point Celestia rushes to the sword and leaks joy from the inside.

"I'm sorry about the meeting.Make yourself comfortable. "

Yes.

Not only Celestia, but also Asla and Lilia lowered their heads and responded to Chrono as he hurried to the desk while hawking.

I didn't look like a child and I changed my clothes.

"I don't care, keep the meeting going.Eh ~ ~... oh, thank you, Mob "

Mob, who seems to know Kurono's intentions and seems to be busy, respectfully handed over the letter.

(... that was the letter Bren sent to Mob this morning for Glass....)

"................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

"Yes, what is it?"

When I checked the letter, I started running the pen at hand, throwing words like that.

"I'm going out of town from now until tomorrow... until about noon, but is it okay without me?

"Are you going out now...?

Um, I think I have a favor to ask you.

Chrono pokes his cheek cane and lightly runs a pen to write notes.

"Well, I'll do my best to finish everything before you get back."

"You don't have to hurry.Try it your way. [M]So, what do you think of Asla?

I don't miss a bit of my gaze, and ask while showing me the tricks I sometimes think about.

"By the time we get back, the elephant will have turned into dust."

"I'll give Kageha and Mist another job, too.This means that you in this town will have less combat power. "

"It doesn't matter."

"... really? Looks like he was rubbing something."

Kurono said while checking the finished note, and a battle broke out under his command.

"By the way, I'd like to ask for your information...."

Not only does Asla hold the sweat in her hands, but even Celestia and Lilia are stiff.

"... for example?Like what? "

Fear swells up inside your chest into words that spin without any sense.

"--- Are you dissatisfied with the seat number I gave you?
