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~

─ ─ The day before the [Ellusion] 5th Tier Explorer. Odette's perspective ─ ─

Until then, Odette thought she was being tested for magic.

─ ─ [Ellusion] was ordered to participate in the exploration of the fifth basement level.

─ ─ Being a user of the [Lord of Spirit Kings] (Phantom).

─ ─ Being caught in the eye by Old Zamel, a powerful figure in the [Magic Guild].

All of them were honorable positions that Odette hadn't imagined a year ago.

If Odette had stayed that way, she would have been so moved that she couldn't even speak out.

Or, if it wasn't for you, you might have declined everything.

(At least... you must have been nervous and couldn't eat much anymore)

Thinking like that, Odette shrugged her shoulders.

The day when we refrained from exploring the fifth layer of "Ellucion" tomorrow.

The "Lord of Spirits" (Phantom) exploration test in the "Magic Guild" was completed.

All we have to do is wait for the operation to begin.

Almost nervous, I couldn't eat anymore, but ─ ─

Odette, do you have a replacement for Immortal?

Thank you.

─ ─ Such thoughts blew up after eating Yuuki's [Immortal Susceptible].

Odette gently puts an empty dish in front of Yuki.

Yuki's face seemed satisfied, and he poured a hot steam into it.

This is a dormitory in Yuuki. The living room. The time is at night.

After completing his work in the "Magic Guild," Odette was visiting Yuuki's dormitory.

Then I was welcomed with a fervor.

The bats around the dormitory were aware of Odette's approach.

That's why Yuki prepared dinner for Odette.

The maid Martha, Remy, and apprentice Colette-Mément had finished their meals first and were retreating to their rooms.

It seems that I will not interfere with the meeting of the Yukis.

That's why Odette is serving Yuki ─ ─

(...... I thought I'd been 'tested to be a mage' before)

I don't know, this state.

He is facing his friend for a hot meal.

However, even though it's just a matter of course, tension and anxiety are relieved.

"But, Yuki doesn't care about me, right?"

Odette said as she picked up the change.

"The exploration is tomorrow."Even Yuuki would have something to do with it. "

“It's a matter of priority.We can't just leave our people in the jar, can we? "

"But this is Yuuki's handcrafted dish, right?"It was hard to make, wasn't it? "

"[Immortal (Immortal) Wusui] can be made right away and is good for digestion."I'm not using expensive ingredients.Colette wants to eat before exploring, so I just made it. ”

"... yes, that's right."

While saying it, Odette wipes the sweat off her neck and scrapes the hot [Immortal Susu] with a spoon.

This rice cooker seems to be a specialty dish of "Fiera Village".

Ingredients are vegetables, eggs and corn.A little milk and meat.

As Yuki put it, nothing expensive is used.

Compared to the cuisine lined up at the Duke of Sleigh's dinner party, it's very simple.

(And yet... eating makes me feel at ease... why?)

It's hot. It's dusty.

It's rich and thin, but it's rushing through your throat.

Your body gets warmer and you feel better.

Of course, this is just a rice cooker.

"Immortality (immortal)" is because Yuki wished for the healthy and long life of the children in the village, and it does not actually have such an effect.

However, if you eat it, you will feel relieved for some reason.

A home-cooked meal made with children in mind...... I had never eaten at the Duke of Slay's house ─ ─ and Odette proceeded with her meal while thinking about it.

What do you want, Odette? Do you still have the change?

"I'll stop with two drinks."

In the end, Odette finally put down the spoon after the second cup had fallen apart.

“There's something important to explore tomorrow.You can't eat too much. "

Is everything ready for Odette?

"Yes. The 'Rider of the Spirit' was doing well."It seems that Flora's "Replica Road" is also fine.Now that I have more time, I can go to Lord Iris. ”

I see.

Yuki nodded while drinking tea.

"Was he... no, did your Highness say anything?"

You said that you would like to accompany us in exploring the fifth layer if possible.

"You can't do that."

That's right.

"This exploration can only be attended by those authorized by the" Cain "and" Zamel "factions."His Highness has not yet entered the selection.If you have two royals, you'll have to split the guards. "

Your Highness, Iris has been thinking of a countermeasure.

"Measures?"

"Yeah... if I join [Lord of Beasts] together, I don't think I'll need an escort."

Is that it?

[Beast King Knight] is one of the [Kings Knights (Roads)] that were disabled by the Yukis.

The "Cain faction" is now under control.

"That armor is" "not qualified" "."It's impossible to use. ”

"... just in case, I'll write to Iris as an escort knight.""Please don't do this."

I'm worried about you.

"If my kid is trying to do something dangerous, he'll stop."

Certainly, the original armor is dangerous.

No one has been found to handle the Beast King Rider.

The [Cain faction] tried it out, but in the end, it seemed like it was the end of the magic.

The original "Royal Knight" was really difficult to handle.

It was also difficult when Odette conducted the start-up test of the [Lord of] Knights (Phantom).

She couldn't control the power of that armor and was on the verge of rampaging it.

I had complete control over the [Rider of the Spirit King] because Yuuki helped me.

”Even if Lord Iris were to be sucked by the [Beast King's Knight] or let go... it would be a terrible thing.”

No, maybe he can master the [Beast King Rider].

"... eh?"

"I'll skip the detailed explanation, but he has a very strong magic power."Besides, it's close to my magic power.The question is whether I can control the internal mechanism of that armor..... "

Can you do that?

"It depends on how much information he has."For example... did you tell Iris about the time when Odette ruled the [Rider of the Spirit King]? "

"I talked to you."

Well then, I guess I can.

"Such lightness!?"

"He's swallowing so fast.Once I understand it to some extent, I'll do something with my intuition.Iris... no, Alice's ingenuity and understanding were among the best in [Feira Village]. "

Was that the case from your previous life?

"Yeah, I don't know what to do, I was scared and I couldn't take my eyes off."

"Hmph. That's right."

Odette said that and took a sip of tea.

(Maybe... Alice was able to show her talent because someone was always watching over her.)

Somehow, that's how I feel.

Yuki's previous life ─ ─ My Lord of [Fiera Village] was a gentle guardian deity and a teacher who guided the villagers.

If there is such a person, people will be able to demonstrate their abilities with peace of mind.

My Lord will stop me if I do anything stupid, and he'll fix me if I'm wrong.

With such a sense of security, the villagers must have been able to demonstrate their abilities.

Alice = Carmine was the most important of them all ─ ─ Iris's previous life.

Perhaps Iris sensed somewhere the presence of someone who had been watching over her for a long time before she woke up to the memories of her previous life.

That's why Iris was able to use her magic talent with confidence.

You can join the "Magic Guild" after leaving the other princes and princesses.

(Maybe that's the case.Because... I've changed since I met Yuki)

With that in mind, Odette smiles bitterly.

Then she changed her tone,

"But then, don't you think I should make you the user of the [Beast King Rider]?"That way, they can also participate in the exploration of the fifth level of "Elysion". "

I think you should stop that.

“Why?

"Me and Iris are going to disappear from the human world one day."If Iris were to be certified as a user of the [Knight of the Beast King], other humans would be unable to use it.Then the [Kings and Knights] will be lost from the kingdom.The Empire will be in trouble when it does. Maybe. ”

"..... ah"

Yuki is immortal, and Iris probably takes over her grandmother's immortality.

If the two of them stay in the world of men, the time will slip away from the others.

It might interest the sorcerers and be used as research material.

So, one day, Yuki and Iris will abandon their current position and go far away.

Yuki is already thinking about the rest.

(...... such a gentle time will pass away someday, won't it?)

Odette was also ready to follow them.

I don't mind abandoning my aristocratic position.

But ─ ─

(Is there any other way?)

The people of the "Feira Village", where Yuki was a guardian god, admired Dean Nosferatu even after his death and came up with a way to support him after his reincarnation.That's the Grail Chamber of Commerce.

Can we do the same?

For example, if Odette were to become the next Duke of Slay and create a [New Fiera Village] on a part of the territory ─ ─

(─ ─ Eh?)

For a moment, I was amazed at the idea that came to my mind.

It's not impossible, I don't think.

The territory of the Duke of Sleigh is vast.There are mountains where people do not come.

If we build a hideout there, we might be able to hide Yuki and Iris.

(To do that, I need to be the next Duke of Slay.There's just a network of people who can make that happen... right?It's not impossible if old Zamel backs it up.my finances...... if I ask Mr. Rodelia of the [Grail Chamber of Commerce]......)

"... what's the matter, Odette?" I've been silent for a long time. "

“No, no, it's nothing.”

Yuki looks worried.

Odette hurriedly waved her hand and deceived him.

"Anyway, you're not a user of [Beast King Rider], are you?"

That's what I'm talking about.

Is it good that I became a user of the [Rider of the Spirit King]?

What you've done can't be helped, can it?

"... that's right."

"Besides, I think Odette should become an important figure in the [Magic Guild] to protect herself from her parents."I guess that's why I became a user of the [Rider of the Spirit King].Old Zamel is on your side, so you can say something from your parents' house already. "

"...... Yuki"

”That's why I'm wondering if I can give you my [Magic Blood (Myster Blood)].”

Yuki sat on her cheek stick as she contemplated.

To give Odette Yuki's [Magic Power Blood] was a strategy to break through the [Magic Power Strike Barrier].

The corridor leading to the fifth basement tier of "Elysion" has a "magic barrier".

In order to break through, it was necessary to build a [barrier against sorcery] with the [Kings Rider] or [Replica Road] wrapped around it.

However, Yuki and Odet had a trick.

It was to give Odetto more [Magic Blood] and temporarily demonize the use of Yuuki.

Then, in the "integrated" state, if Yuki uses the "magic barrier", the "magic barrier" can be broken.If that didn't work out, I could use the Slime May to make it magically integrated.

Even though there was such a trick ─ ─

"If I give you too much [Magic Blood], I don't know what will happen."and inadvertently become immature..... "

"Now it's time, Yuki."

Odette shrugged her shoulders.

I'm already ready for this.

Since I met this mysterious friend, Odette has changed.

Maybe it will continue to change.

I can't go back to the nobleman's daughter who was troubled by the family situation.

"It's only natural for you to be a friend of yours."Don't underestimate me. "

I see.

"Besides, do you want to know what the children of [Feira Village] did?"That clue may be on the fifth basement level.Then you won't get lost. "

"... yeah. All right."

I'll say it instead, but I have one favor to ask you.

Fine.

"I haven't said anything yet."

"I'm taking care of Odette."If there's anything I can do. "

"... really, you're already..."

Odette smiled bitterly.

And ─ ─

"Well then, please." If one day you decide to have a fight with me at my parents' house, please give me a sneak peek. ”

Fine.

The opponent is the Duke's house, right?

“It would have been better than the 'Sanctuary Church'”.

Well, that's right.

"My children won by selling fights to the opponents of the [Sanctuary Church].The guardian deity can't be scared of the duke's house. "

You really are a guardian deity, aren't you?

"I've been doing this for over 100 years."

Got it. Please call me when you have to. Now then ─ ─ "

Yuki and Odette took a deep breath.

Then the two of them had a detailed meeting tomorrow ─ ─

After that, the [Magic Blood] was handed over from Yuuki to Odette.

─ ─ Now, in the passageway leading to [Ellusion] 5th floor ─ ─

"─ ─ Yuki = Grossaria. And Odette = Slay."

Immediately after breaking through the [Magic Power Shattering Barrier], the voice of Prince Cain was heard.

"Be sure to come back safe."If you don't think you can, you can run away.You guys are needed for the upcoming [Sorcery Guild].Don't let us make a mistake.[Sorcery Guild] is different from the [Sanctuary Church], to continue to exist ─ ─ "

(This is what happened after all.)

Odette smiles bitterly again in the [Rider of the Spirit King].

The voice Yuki was preaching to Prince Cain came from the middle, but I heard it.

The content was like, "Don't be nosy." "Think about the people who care about you."

Will Iris laugh when she hears it, or will she be angry when she says, 'My Lord, please don't tell me.'

So... let's not tell Iris about this ─ ─ Odette thought.

Even between best friends, a little secrecy is allowed. Maybe, but...

It shouldn't matter if there was a figure of Yuki that only Odette knew.

Let's go then, Odette.

I'm counting on you, Yuki.

Behind them, the [Magic Power Eating Barrier] closed.

When I turned around, there was just a blurry wall.

Prince Cain and the others are invisible.

We'll be alone from here.

After going a little further down the aisle, Odette removed the [Rider of the Spirit King].To preserve my magic power.

The [Rider of the Spirit King] that was taken off was put away by Yuki's [Storage Magic].

Instead, Yuki took out the [Lord of Knights].

It is capable of flying and highly maneuverable.

Perfect for exploring places you don't know.

Goshujin

Odette-sama

Thank you for your time

I'll do the same thing ~

An army of bats emerges from Yuuki's cloak.

I started a strategy meeting when I had all the demons, the royal horsemen, and more.

From now on, Yuki will wear the [Knight of the Black King] and follow the aisle.

Odette rides on her back.

A little further ahead, the bat corps moves on to find out if there is any danger.

The aisle shines a faint light.

I can see ahead, but I can't be alarmed.

This is a "ruin of an ancient magic civilization", because it is a mysterious place that the "Magic Guild" has not set foot in.

"Then let's start the operation."

Please leave it to me

"I use [Black King Knight]."Odette, get on your back. "

"I understand." By the way, Yuki. "

What's the matter?

Let's be careful.

"I know."

"Perhaps you should be more careful than Yuki thinks."If we are in distress (yes), it will be very serious. "

Iris may have taken the [Beast King Rider] and come this far.

"Anyway, Alice from her previous life, she's a princess now."Whatever it takes..... "

"... 200 years ago, when I was on the roof of an ancient castle, Alice climbed up there."

"... eh"

"At that time, after I taught you the usual magic of the frozen system."I froze a part of the roof and used it as a clue to climb up.Sometimes children do unbelievable things..... "

"Ah, that's dangerous!?" So what's wrong with you!? "

"Of course, I was angry and scolded."

What happened after that?

"I asked the villagers to create a place for astronomical observations."The guy with the ladder and the handrail. "

"... and then..."

"Astronomical observations were added to the children's classes."

"...... you were really a sweet guardian deity. You are..."

"No, the astronomical observation class was from the beginning."That's all I've become. "

"Fufu, I'll leave that to you."

"... well, let's start exploring so I don't have to worry about Iris anyway."

This fifth tier has a system for removing the [Magic Power Eating Barrier].

There was also a mechanism to make monsters huge.

The purpose of Yuki and Odet was to remove the [Magic Grinding Barrier].

I was looking for clues as to what happened to Lyle Carmine and the others in [Fiera Village].

"I've come all the way to the fifth level."I need to take a souvenir to Iris. "

At the very least, tell me to discover the secrets of sorcery. Not at all.

Then Yuki and Odette, wearing the [Black King's Knight], proceeded down the aisle on their backs.

Bats ahead.

\ "Physically strengthened\" they use ultrasound to look forward.

Eventually, the aisle ends.

Beyond that, I could see the open space.

And ─ ─

Goshujin. This is a report.There's a town!

─ ─ The bat that came back from the reconnaissance told me.

At the exit of the aisle... something like a golem is falling down.Seems to be out of function.Come and have a look. Goshu, Odette-sama. "

The bat corps gave me information on the fifth basement level.
