That Ordinary Mister is a War God

34. Swinging Back and Demonic Doors

When Bal returns to his home, Meena just arrived, so I'm just going to ask.

"There's a gargoyle in the natural metastasis?

She moves her shapely eyebrows in surprise.

It seemed unusual to have a knowledgeable girlfriend.

"Is it unusual, after all?

When Bal asks while sipping the tea she has brewed, Meena answers slowly.

"The natural swing of space in the first place is a rarity in itself."

"Really...? That's what I thought because I hear it once or twice a year."

She explained to him with her eyes rounded.

"Perhaps metastases have been used in the country many times this time, shaking back."

It's like a recoil.

She snorts at Bal's words.

"I don't shake it back no matter how much I use it if I'm a higher-level user, but it means their power isn't that much"

"... Other than me, Yagami Fai easily uses metastatic magic, but there's never been anything like a shake back."

He is finally convinced that it will not happen depending on his strength.

"In other words, are the users of enemy metamorphosis magic far less powerful than we are? I wonder if that would be good news."

He twisted his neck.

It would be good news for the Empire that the enemy is much weaker than Yagami Fai.

But just because the user of metastatic magic says so, it doesn't change that he doesn't know anything else.

And yet may I rejoice?

"I know it's good to have one piece of information in a situation where there's very little clue."

She said to smile and peel off.

"Right. Let's think so."

Bal appreciates her care and is thorough in her role.

I mean, I hear a lot from her.

"I hear the gargoyles I encountered were weak individuals with little combat experience."

"Then it's no wonder you couldn't handle the shaking of the space. Gargoyles are not intelligent, nor are they agile enough to react to sudden swings."

I think he will remember Meena's answer and report it to the Adventurer Guild.

"... wasn't that some dangerous omen"

He twinkles and twinkles.

I was internally wary of the beginning of a new case, but apparently it was different.

Meena hesitates to advise him in relief.

"Not necessarily. There will probably be a few swings around the place. There's a good chance of weak individuals showing up in a shake, but there's still no guarantee that they won't be harmed."

She pointed out the possibility because she was loyal to him.

If he was a man who didn't care about some damage, he would have kept quiet.

"Right...... it's like I could have defeated Gargoyle too because it was the Quaternary Adventurer Party that I ran into. If it was below grade six, it could have been wiped out. Let's advise the Alliance and the Knights."

Considering the possibility of a reversal occurring within the Imperial City.

If it's the Knights of the Empire, as much as a gargoyle, you should normally be able to return it, but there are many ordinary citizens in the city.

It's safer to have the Knights on alert.

"Shake it back."

Bal crushes again.

I would have liked to know a little sooner, but it would be more impotent to tell Meena the exact things at the right time with the little information available.

Because he knows that, he went out of his way to see the guild general.

"What about the recoil of metastatic magic, and the recoil of dark summons? Nothing?

"... depends on the summoning technique"

Meena answers with a slightly softer expression.

"If it's just a collection of demons, there's almost no dangerous recoil. But if you use too much of what summons the people of the Demonic Realm, the connection between the Demonic Realm and this world will be strengthened, and there is a higher risk that the Demonic Realm Door (Ibergate) will occur"

"You think it's the Demon Gate?

Bal caught his eye.

It's rare for him to be basically slight. I'm nervous about my voice.

"When it opens up, the demon demons will influx in large numbers, not fairytales, so you're telling the truth?

"Yes, my ancestors were once said to be heroes who sealed open demonic doors (ibilgate), but they said it was their will to tell them that it was not a fairy tale, it was a fact"

Bal's expression was getting very harsh.

"Is it possible that the enemy's purpose is that?

To his sharp inquiry, it was now Meena's turn to open her eyes wide.

"I can say it's unlikely as it stands. Enemy level too low. … it may not be zero chance that you are doing so because you do not understand the true purpose here"

"... I feel like I'm thinking too much too. Your emperor's habit may have shifted. I just want to assume it as the worst possibility than I can think of."

Bal knows very well why she was surprised.

But it is his position that cannot be ignored beyond the slightest possibility.

"Thank you. I'll pass it on to my compatriots, too."

"If we can get the help of the elves, it's comforting."

The Empire is the strongest nation and Bal is the strongest individual.

But if the strongest race is asked, he thinks it might be an elf.

I would have liked the help of those elves.

"If you find out Master Bal said so, you will be pleased that your compatriots are honored."

Meena responds as a dust.
