Stranger’s Handbook

159 The Role of Demons

"Grand Duke Zest, I'm sorry to disturb you all of a sudden. Pope Gabella is here, and today was just the right day."

"I don't mind. I'm sorry to bother you so much... but I'm still worried about Heinz."

Prepare your tea while Su stares at the dogs

I called him my brother because of it, and I wouldn't have any choice but to do this in that zama

Though the head of the Demon Clan, it's a sudden visit, so you can complain... it would be more beneficial to have a relationship where you can easily come rather than do that on purpose

I suggest you sit on Nibel and I'll sit across the street.

"Oh, and Pope Gabella... can't you sit down? Relax wherever you want."

"I get it! I'll make you oyster ice!

You can hear the gorilla noise coming from the refrigerator sitting next to the couch.

Probably making oyster ice inside...... I ignored it because I don't even want to check

If you go in there, you're gonna lose.

"So, what's the story?

I'll have a cup of tea and then I'll ask Nibel.

The head of the Demon Clan came all the way here for a good reason.

"Yeah, after Heinz and... about where the armor came from and how to dispose of it"

"Did you find out where that armor came from?

"Well, it was what I expected. It was once the real thing used by the Demon King... Dwarves should have kept it, considering it flowed into the Elf Country..."

"Are you an insider..."

I'm serious, but there's a scraping sound of golin 'ice from next door

That's right. I heard Nibel was worried about you, too. He was looking at you like a flicker.

"I made it! Everybody eat!

They also have Su and Albert's share.

I said no, so we all decided to eat together.

"Again, this is good"

"It tastes nostalgic... melon tastes great"

"Sir, strawberry flavor is a demonic flavor."

"My lord, if you mix the two flavors, they will be of poisonous colour..."

Albert, don't worry, it's a path that everyone passes.

Keep laughing at him with a slightly crying face, eating oyster ice

"So, who in the Dwarves is the insider?

"Is that... is that country also called secrecy..."

It's a Dwarf country... basically an image of a liquor-loving blacksmith country, isn't it?

"Is it secrecy... not like I imagined"

"Hmm? You don't seem to know much about the Dwarf country. Externally, are you a liquor lover/craftsman?

"Yeah, I thought so."

"I guess you don't have to be from another world. But since it's about Grand Duke Zest, I thought you might be looking into it... well, you can't help but be busy in the Elf Country."

I put oyster ice on the table. Nibel starts talking about posture again...... I can't

The dogs were holding their heads and hovering.

Albert, that's what happens because I eat in a hurry... don't worry, my head hurts because it's not poison

Encouraged Nibel to talk, ignoring the painful waste dog

"The Dwarves are basically small and shy a lot. I'm drinking to deceive you."

"... you think it's a drunken momentum, not an audacious drink?

"That's right. I feel sorry for you if you don't drink... that's why you could have gotten caught up in Heinz's plot... no, you could even have been threatened"

No more... the Dwarf image in me made a noise and collapsed

I want my cool, craftsman, temperamental, wild dwarf back.

"Why did you give such dangerous armor to such a feeble species?

"I'm weak, that's why I gave it to you. He said he wouldn't abuse it. It was the Dwarves' top secret that they hadn't told the other species... where did it come from?"

"I see... So, what happened to Heinz?

"Oh, he's finished. I was relieved that the power of science was not so much a resurrection as a mere use of existing objects. There was no knowledge spill, and you're relieved."

Nibel laughing niggly kept looking back at the refrigerator

"Lord Gabella, please replace the oyster ice. Next with lemon flavor."

"I get it! Hang tight and sharpen!!

I'm done with the report for now, but I hear the discussion's still going on.

... You don't really want oyster ice, do you?

"So, this is the real deal... this is more than a reminder, please"

"Is this Lord Nibel's favor? I'm scared."

The second lemon-flavored oyster ice flattened Nibel sets the posture right

Sure, after Heinz, where the armor came from, you could write to him.

I guess there's a reason I came all the way here.

"Actually, I'd like to formally invite Grand Duke Zest to our side. Like the Uncle Border and the Gaius."

"Well... I didn't know Lord Lasatonia and his father-in-law's name would come up..."

The atmosphere of Albert, who was eating oyster ice until just now, also changes.

I stood soooo vigilant behind me... I don't have any complaints about this from time to time, this wanker.

Seeing that exchange, Su moved further behind him to hide

... the point is that it is a combat attitude

"May I tell them such a story? It would be more convenient if I were the only one."

"No, I want them to hear it too. The Grand Duke and Lord Albert will be deeply connected, like the Borderline House and the Gaius House... and you trust them, too, don't you?

"I mean, tell me and Albert to be like Lord Lasatonia and my father-in-law?

"Yeah. That's what the Demons trust. I believe in the Grand Duke of Zest, but there is no guarantee that his descendants will have the same idea. So we're going to be watching you in two houses, not alone... so you don't betray us."

"... educate you as a grand duke to trace it, and your first minister will monitor it...? But Albert's a beast, isn't he? I don't think you'd do anything to my detriment.

"Yeah, I wouldn't do that to you. But I'm sure your will will will be faithful."

You're looking into it just fine... if it's my will, I'll definitely follow it.

"Eliminate Wis if he doesn't deserve it."

If it's Albert and Su, it's in my eyes to faithfully execute it as my word

"Well, you're right in that sense. It depends on the official demonic side."

"That's easy. As an administrator, I want you to keep order in this world... so you don't repeat that again."

"I've told you before to cooperate... what do you want me to do as an administrator?

"It's the same thing to do. I don't want science to come back to life. And eliminating the hedges of the species."

"I understand that. I don't understand the official part, Lord Niebel."

"It's also easy. I want you to know why that's necessary."

Look at Nibel with a serious look and I can clearly tell it's a nasty pattern

You won't be able to go back when you hear this...... what do we do?

I tried to steal a look at the fridge and see how it was, but the fridge didn't have any complexion.

But it wouldn't hurt me not to say anything.

"Let's hear it. You won't be able to escape if you know why...... now. I already agree with the demonic way of thinking."

"Hehe. You've thought a lot about it. Is that the line? If you're not so careful, I'm worried about you."

"It would be an honor if you could say that. Intelligence, outside the room. Take it off a little."

[]/(exp, adj-na) (1) (uk) (uk) (uk)

Yeah, I just heard the voice and the signs disappeared.

Now, seriously, we're the only ones in this room.

I really don't see any signs of Tarsel these days...... Nibel was surprised too. It's a level, and it's already the strongest secret on earth.

"Hmm...... Grand Duke Zest's subordination is still just horrible. From now on, I'm comfortable with you."

I said that so much, I tightened my expression, Nibel.

Slightly, I took the time to whine slowly

"Now, why we don't want to revive science. It's because science has destroyed this world before."

Only Nibel's words echo the scene and the quiet room

"Once upon a time in Tai Ancient times, the brave men of the other worlds who fought the Demon King. Why did you fight the Demon King in the first place? A brave man defeated a bad demon king planning to conquer the world? That's not the reason. It was a battle between those who revived science and technology and those who abandoned science and tried to live by magic."

"That's the reason...... no, wait. If there is magic, is science so necessary? Why would you do that?

"That's really easy. Because magic is made by our demons, and it's something they control."

"... what?

"In other words, it was a battle between those who revived science in an attempt to escape the rule of the Demon Nation… the Demon Kings and those who abandoned science with our magical powers."

Organize the story in your head as you hear the sound of a frozen full opening called a refrigerator gown gown

I mean, that's...

"You think this world is a world ruled and controlled by demons?

"Yes, ever since the demise of a world thriving on scientific power, that's what we've been doing and protecting. the last earth left on this planet."

"Zest, please, I want you to protect this world with us. I don't want to make the Japanese enemies."

That's what you're gonna say. Look at me, Nibel and the fridge.

I put oyster ice in it to moisten my dry throat.

I'll just have to take it...... but the story is too big...... you think it's world management?

The melon-flavoured oyster ice that I should miss didn't taste at all.
