The Demon King Of The Frontier Life, Reincarnated To Become The Strongest Mage ~The Former Demon King Who Grows Up While Being Loved Wants To Know The Human~

─ ─ Ezetta-Memen's Perspective ─ ─

(... strange)

I felt strange.

The operation to attack the fifth tier of "Elysion" is well underway.

So far, there is no problem with the (...) plans (...) of the Eazetta (...).

Yet ─ ─ I had a bad feeling and had no choice.

The beginning of the discomfort was preceded by Old Zamel's troops.

With the permission of Prince Cain, they headed for the fourth basement level to build a campsite.This was not part of Ethetta's plans.

In addition, it was discussed in advance with Prince Cain as "Proposal B".

The Zammers hate to be a burden to themselves.

It was due to their pride as pure magicians, but their actions were therefore easy to read.It's impossible for them to secure the fourth basement level in advance for Prince Cain.

But it's happening in reality.

Old Zamel is convinced and helps Prince Cain.

As if someone had secretly held between old Zamel and Prince Cain.

"... Mr. Ezetta, I need to talk to you."

Ethetta's men snapped on her side.

My current location is on the third floor through a hidden passage.

Now I'm taking a short pause before entering the fourth floor.Ethetta also took off the "Replica Road" and took a breath.Perfect timing for a meeting with your men.

She distanced herself from the others and headed for her men.

"... something unexpected is happening, Ethetta."

"I know."

Ethetta nodded.

My men trembled as they were scared.

"... the fourth level campsite was supposed to be set up by us, the core of the 'Cain School'.However, even if the "Zammers" had preceded them ─ ─ "

"Shut up, I've made up my mind."

"─ ─ But"

"I can't protest. Old Zamel's actions are in the interest of His Highness Cain.And if you protest... you'll be suspicious. "

Ezetta interrupted her men.

The plan hasn't failed yet.I just missed one gear.

We can't do anything here that makes anyone else suspicious.

(... this kind of schedule change is possible.It should still be okay.)

The plan that Ethetta ordered from his father begins when he enters the fifth basement level.

Until then, she must create an advantage.

It was the creation of a campsite to ensure the capture of the "Zammers", an understanding of the whereabouts of the people to be alerted to, and an appropriate placement for their allies.

That's why Ezetta and the others are participating in this "Fifth Hierarchy Exploration."

(There are four people to hold on to in this operation... my father said.)

Flora-Zamel - she should be the first target.Low magic capacity. If you enter a long fight, you will not be able to move Replica Road.That is her weakness.

Old Zamel, the head of the "Zamelist" - he has lost his child in an accident and is in love with his granddaughter.You can't disobey the man who got Flora-Zamel.

Odette Slay - her "Lord of the Spirit Ride (Phantom)" is a threat, but there is still a limit to operating time.Above all, she should use her powers to break through the barrier that blocks the way to the fifth basement.It will weaken after breaking through the barrier.

DEMETER-SPRINGAL ─ ─ She doesn't know the plans of the Ethettas.Demetel is a "caine", but he is also committed to being the leader of a new magician.If you see a new sorcerer in danger, it will help both the 'Cain' and the 'Zammel'.

I respect that noble spirit... but now I'm in the way.

(But the most important thing to be vigilant about is that... he's not here.)

Yuki-Grossalia.

The companions laughed when they told him to be vigilant.

I just don't know why I'm afraid of the bastards of a country nobleman.

On the contrary, Ezetta doesn't know why she can stay alert to Yuki-Grosario.

I think my father and his friends are distracted by the girl on Yuki's side.

The girl's name is Odette Slay.

A girl who is a child of the Duke of Slay, a quasi-C magician, and a user of the Spirit King Rider.For the aristocrats, she is the light that shines among the new sorcerers.Yuki-Grossalia's achievements were due to the presence of Odette Sleigh ─ ─ my father and colleagues think so.

That's why I'm late to find out about him.That's what I regret now.

Yuki-Grossalia defeated C-Class Magician Alec Keares in the 'Magic Guild' for weeks.He's the one who found the hidden passage to Elysion.

Besides, he was the guardian knight of His Highness Iris, a partner of Odett-Slay and a servant of Flora-Zamel.In addition, DeMetel-Springal appreciates him.

Three of the people Ethetta and the others should be watching out for are involved with him.

(as if all the yarns were connected to Yuki-Grossalia)

Suppose there was a connection between "Cain" and "Zamelist", it would be him.

It's not Odette Slay.

She is getting too much attention.It is not suitable for leaps.

Rather, the light of Odette Sleigh serves to hide the existence of Yuki-Grossalia.

It would be horrible if even that were calculated.

(... that's why he's... the one who should keep Colette.)

So many people will see that my sister Colette is not involved in the Plan.

Even if Ethetta's plans fail and she and my father are punished, Colette will not be guilty.

When I found out about his career, Ethetta intuitively thought so.

Keeping Colette in a safe place, I thought Ethetta could focus on the operation.

However, the discomfort didn't go away.

It feels like Yuki-Grossalia sees through everything.

It seems to be whispered in my ear."I know you're up to something.We can still make it now. Stop "─ ─.

"The plan stays the same. You go back.Minimum contact time. "

"Who put them on the top floor?"

"I try to move when the time comes."

I understand ─ ─

After exchanging information with his men, Ezetta walks towards the main unit.

The pause is over and everyone is getting ready to move.

Prepare yourself for the "Replica Road" ─ ─ Ezetta thinks.

Odette Sleigh rested next to the "Lord of the Spirits" (Phantom).

I have bats in my hand.Yuki-Grossalia's wizard.

After all, he's helping Odette Slay in the shadows.There is no doubt that he is moving in the back.And I'm not hiding it.

It's like you're really warning Ethetta about something.

"Oh, Mr. Eazetta-Memen. Thank you very much."

Odette Slay thanked Ethetta when she noticed.

"Now we have a breach of the barrier to level five.This Odette Sleigh is immature, but I will do my best not to let Ethetta's feet get in the way.Thank you for your guidance. "

"Please be modest. As the son of the Duke of Slay, the Master Odette, the user of the Spirit King Rider, is an immature person... don't you have great blood and talent?"

"I didn't get it on my own."

Odette declares against his chest.

"I've always been helped by my friends.It is because of that person that you can stay without disgusting your own blood.That's why I began to deal with the excessive "King of the Spirit".One thing is not my power. "

Looking at Odette's smile, Ezetta loses her words.

Because she seemed to think so.

The blood of the Duke of Slay, hostile to my father.

An ancient power demanded by Ezetta and her allies.

─ ─ She made it clear that it wasn't her power.

"What's the matter, Ethetta?"

Odette was strangely shrugging his neck while wearing a bat stuck on his shoulder.

Ezetta shook her head.

"Is that bat... Colette's master?"

"Yes, I'm a Yuki's wizard.She told me that Yuki was on her way here and that Ethetta's sister was well. "

"It's as if bats and words make sense."

"... I'm not telling you."

Odette puts his finger on his lips with a naughty expression.

Ethetta takes it as a joke and continues.

"I'm glad I have people I can count on, Mr Odette."

"Yuki is still young and experienced.There's one thing he's good at. "

"Good at tricks?"

"Yes, he said he was really good at spotting the children's tricks."

I felt like I had been hit in the head.

(Children's... pranks?)

Ethetta found herself in a state of suspicion.

Odette's "child prank" seemed to be pointing to their plan.

I'm sure this is a joke... and that's what Ethetta thought.

Yuki-Grossalia is still young.At his age, he is on the mischievous side.

(It's not like I'm a teacher in some village to spot a child's mischief.)

"How's Colette?"

Ethetta changed the subject forcefully.

"I haven't seen you since I've been busy lately. I'm a little worried."

"Colette was worried about your sister."

"... to me?"

"Ezetta's sister is a kind person, and she's better at hiding her true heart.Even you hide your true feelings.That's why you ignore what you really think and let it through.Colette is worried that she might still be doing that. "

─ ─ No way.

The cold sweat spreads to Ethetta's forehead.

She has always dealt with her sister as her father ordered.

Because she was a bastard daughter, she didn't even argue with the father who quarantined Colette so that she wouldn't get in the way of the plan or do anything extra.

And yet...

"There's only one thing Colette wants."I want to eat immortality (immortality) with my sister Ezetta."Ah, "immortality" is Yuki's specialty, and it's good for digestion and very warm ─ ─ "

"Break is over, Mr. Odette."

Ethetta turned her back on Odette.

"This work is important to change the history of the Magic Guild.There's no room for personal affection.Odette, please concentrate on your role. "

"Yes, I know my role well (...) (...)"

So, that's it.

Ethetta returns to her place and wears the Replica Road.

Although replicas are "ancient objects".I feel uncomfortable wearing this.

I know my role well.

(... what is "immortality"?That kind of thing fits the noble's mouth....)

Looking at Odette's pleasant face, he noticed it.

I wondered if I had ever thought that the meal at the Marquis was "delicious"...

Ethetta thinks such a thing ─ ─

"It's a message from old Zammel! Secure the campsite on the fourth floor.He's expecting His Highness Cain! "

From the staircase leading to the lower level came the 'Zammers' magicians.

They seem to have played their part safely.

A magician's representative is giving Prince Cain parchment to let him know where the campsite is.

And ─ ─ on the shoulder of the accompanying magician ─ ─ there was a small bat.

"Kiki."

The bat finds Odette and flies straight to her.

Conversely, the bat that was protecting Odette was on the shoulders of the "Zamerist" sorcerer.

The "Zamelist" magician removes the hood.The face that appeared beneath it belonged to Flora-Zamel.

For a moment, Eazetta and her friends became nervous.

Flora-Zamel is a top priority.The moment I entered the fifth floor, I was supposed to take her down.Of course, I can't do it right now.But ─ ─ I didn't expect her to be a liaison with the Caynes.

Eventually, the "Zamelist" magicians finish their report and return to the lower levels.Flora-Zamel is with us.She walks away with bats on her shoulders exchanged for Odette.Ethetta doesn't know what kind of interaction took place between the two.

But Odette Sleigh and Flora Zamel are deeply connected between Yuki-Grossalia.I understand that.

It's like, "You know what I'm saying."

I think it's time to leave.

Prince Cain stood up during the break.

"As soon as we get down, we'll head down to the fifth floor.Barrier Breakthroughs are the responsibility of those who use the Knight King and Replica Roads.Flora-Zamel is in charge of the "Zamelist".This is Demetel, Ethetta, and Odette Sleigh's job. I asked them all. "

"Yes, Your Highness."

"I will work for the Magic Guild."

"... I understand, Your Highness."

Demetrius, Odette, and Ethetta answered the prince's words.

Immediately thereafter,

"Please, Your Highness."

Suddenly, Odette Sly shouted.

"If you don't mind, I'd like to combine Flora with you when you break through the barrier."

"... Flora-Zamel?"

"Yes, Your Highness, I have been consulted that he is still unfamiliar with Replica Road.If you are a quasi-B Eazetta or a C-Class Demetel, we can handle the Replica Road with confidence, but we are still immature.I want to help each other. "

"That's an understandable story. What do Demetrius and Ethetta think?"

Prince Cain saw Demetel and Ethetta.

Familiar expression and intelligent eyes.Ezetta loves you the most.

But now I was afraid to see it.

"I have no objection.Odette Sleigh uses the "Spirit King Ride".I was wondering if it would be better if she did what she wanted. "

"That's an educator's answer. That's Demetel."

"Wow, I...."

Eazetta hesitated a little.

"... until I obey His Highness Cain's words."

"Oh, that's a vague answer for Ezetta."

"Your Highness, you also say that you're messing with me."

Hold your breath and return to your usual tone.

"I'm still unfamiliar with Replica Road.If possible, we would like Odette Slay to help us.But I can't help it if His Highness tells me to. "

"Oh, I see. But we should help the inexperienced here."

Prince Cain thinks a little bit.

"Odette Sleigh, I'll take your opinion.Once you're on the fourth floor, team up with Flora-Zamel.Help her break through the barriers on the fifth floor. "

"Thank you, Your Highness."

─ ─ Ethetta heard that word from afar.

This made it difficult to suppress Flora-Zamel.

In order to catch her, Odette must be taken with him.

After breaking through the barrier with the Spirit King Rider, there may be a chance.

But...

(Yuki-Grossalia... do you see everything?)

He is supposed to exert his powers after entering the fifth tier.

The rendezvous is slow, but the opposite is frightening.

Because Ezetta and the others don't know when Yuki-Grossalia will show up.

Colette is with Yuki-Grosario.

You don't have to worry about her anymore.Ethetta is free to carry out her plan.It doesn't matter if it succeeds or is doomed.Eventually, the results will come out.

I just don't know.

She herself wished the operation success or failure.

"My sister hides her true heart even from herself.So I ignore what I really think, and I can't go through with it. "

─ ─ Colette's words were overwhelming.

Shake your head and get rid of it.

Eazetta-Memen keeps moving, pushing and killing ideas that come to mind.

Eventually, the troops reached the passage leading to the fifth floor of the fourth basement.

Then, after a while.

Barrier breach will begin now.

Prince Cain's announcement finally set in motion an operation to level five.
