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~

──Yuuki Perspective──

After Odette and I returned from the fifth tier, the [Magic Guild] became a fuss.

I don't think it's impossible.

The fifth tier of "Elysion" was the home of the "Sanctuary Church".

They once monopolized "Ancient Magic" and "Ancient Artifacts".

If it were the home of that organization, there would be a lot of information left.

"Ancient Artifacts" or "Ancient Sorcery"?

The purpose of the "Sanctuary Church" and clues to the organization.

The identity of the person leading the remnant.

That clue should be in that place.

At a time when the remnants of the “Sanctuary Church” are in action for the first time, obtaining them is a major advantage.

That's why Odette and I got such a surprising compliment.

Old Zamel, who usually had a difficult face, and Prince Cain, who was serious, were greeted with a loud voice.

After that, Odette and I, together with Old Zamel and Prince Cain, left 'Ellusion'.

The destination was the guild's reception room.

So we were asked about the fifth basement level and what kind of investigation we did there.

There was no particular problem.

Because I had decided in advance what to talk about.

After breaking through the [Magic Barrier],── we set our sights on the biggest tower.

──So I found the name of the "First Priest" and the robe with blood on it.

I realized it was an── important facility, so I decided to explore it carefully.

As a── result, we succeeded in identifying and shutting down the Barriers management system.

It's── all about luck and intuition.

It may have been guided by── Odette's "Lord of the Spirit Knights".

You can't ask me to do the same thing── again.

──Anyway, I'm glad I succeeded.

We told Old Zamel and Prince Cain that.

Golem's [Feela] is in [Storage Magic].

If you reveal his existence, he'll probably be confiscated.

That's not what [Ferra] himself wants. Me and Odette are the same.

There's someone in Golem's "Ferra" I need to see.

”As for me... I'm curious about the [Coffin Room] in the tower”

After the two of them finished their report, Odette added.

The "Coffin Room" is a room with a coffin engraved with the names of the priests.

[Ferra] said that the place was an [experimental facility to become a perfect person].

We don't know what a "perfect person" is... but the Empire Princess testifies that "the first priest is still alive".

Perhaps the experiment in that room has something to do with the current First Priest.

"The bloody robe at the entrance of the tower, and the possibility that the first priest is alive. From those extrapolations... it is possible that the Church of the Sanctuary was experimenting with life-threatening practices.”

"... a life-threatening experiment"

Prince Cain had a bitter face when he heard the report.

"Of course, I don't know if the First Priest is really immortal."

Odette shook her head.

"But sometimes it's just in case." I don't like people in the [Sanctuary Church] to disturb the lives of their loved ones. We can't let a big war break out... or make an excuse to grieve the peaceful villagers... or let that happen again. ”

"Yes, once the Church of the Sanctuary made many people sad."

Prince Cain nods to Odette's words.

I'm not aware that her words include my village.

Well, "Feira Village" is pretty much gone from history.

Even if I were to give you a name, I wouldn't know.

"If you need the power of me or the [Rider of the Spirit King] to investigate, please tell me." "Dear Zamel," Your Highness.

Hmm. When the time comes, I'll ask the Duke's daughter to help me too.

"But you need to rest."

Old Prince Zamel and Prince Cain said so, in a tone of adoration for Odette.

"Besides, you have to accept the reward."

"Reward?" "Reward?

Odette and I have the same voice.

"That's right. Thanks to you, the Sorcery Guild has reached the home of the Sanctuary Church." This was something I couldn't accomplish long after the [Magic Guild] was formed. Now we can know what the "Sanctuary Church" was thinking. "

Prince Cain continues.

"It should also be a clue to stop the rest of them." Your work in removing the barrier to the fifth hierarchy is incredible. "

“Thank you for your compliments.”

You've rated me excessively.

Odette and I bowed our heads, following the courtesy of the nobility.

Well then, I'd like to ask you a favor.

"Say it."

"First of all, I owe it to His Highness Iris that I was able to achieve such a result." I was able to belong to the "Magic Guild" because I met His Highness in my hometown. In addition, I was blessed with a good leader because I was a guard knight of His Highness. "

You're humble, aren't you?

“That's why I want to thank His Highness Iris.”

And then I took a breath,

"If you don't mind, would you allow me to invite you to my quarters?" So, if you let me do some handcrafted cooking,

I want to put Iris and Golem's "Feela" together.

However, the royal palace and the palace of divorce were very attractive.

Then it's best to call Iris to my quarters.

"May I have your permission, Your Highness Cain?"

"... um"

Prince Cain looked like he saw something strange.

... are you aware of my intentions?

“No, I'm sorry, I was just wondering if it was something else, just for the sake of asking.”

Something else?

"The rewards I give you are status, honor, and money." If you want to welcome Iris to the quarters, of course. But that's possible for me personally. What Old Zamel and I are saying is a public reward. ”

"... was that what happened?"

"... of course."

Looking sideways, Odette was smiling bitterly.

"As for me, if you want... I'd like to give you the status of a class B magician."

"I too, my lord, am worthy of all credit."

Prince Cain proclaimed, and Old Zamel took over the word.

"However, a magician of Grade B or above is also the management of the guild." You must attend the Sage Conference and be involved in running the guild and negotiating with the royal family. In that case, it would be difficult to spend less time researching magic and exploring "Elucion". "

"Thank you, Your Highness, Zamel." It's an honor to be here. ”

I answered with an aristocratic tone.

"However, I have still been in the [Magic Guild] for days, and I have little experience." I believe that this success is also due to a lot of luck. And... I don't want to spend less time researching or exploring. ”

I can't be the manager of the [Magic Guild].

I'm just pretending to be a human, not a human.

After becoming a manager, I discovered my identity... "Was the [Magic Guild] driven by monsters?" It could be a story. "The" Magic Guild "is a deeply involved organization with the royal family. If you do badly, it will be a fuss to raise the country.

That's why I can't.

We can't repeat the same thing as in the "Feira Village" of our previous life.

If I could, I'd just be a magician.

Well then, do you have any rewards you'd like?

"The reward goes to my parents. I hope you can come to the Count of Grossaria's house."

"... I see. Given the merit, I can give you the title of your parents' home (chuckles)."

Thank you very much.

But it won't happen soon.

"...... right?"

I know that.

The aristocratic society is troublesome.

“If what was the Baron's house becomes the Count's house and soon after that becomes the Marquis's house, it will be tough for you too.”

The procedures for territorial management will also change, right?

"Hmm. Besides, being a marquis (like this) makes the character of the house important." We may also need to increase our territory from the royal family. Six months to a year... can you wait that long? "

“Okay, thank you.”

I can wait that long.

I won the title of my parents' house in order for me to marry Iris── Alice.

In order to marry a royal man, the family must be noble more than a marquis.

A title is a means to that end.

However, it is significant that Prince Cain took the saying that "it is possible to rise to the title".

This is because the royal family has recognized that "the house of Grossaria is meritorious enough to be a marquis". Besides, Odette and I, Old Zamel, are listening to the words.

That should mean a lot to you as you proceed with your marriage to Iris.

“Thank you for your generosity. I think everyone in my family will be happy.”

"It's a filial act. His Majesty will be impressed when he hears this story." Maybe I'll say I wanted a son like you more than a magic fool like me. "

Prince Cain sighed.

"I'm a fool who didn't even notice the movement of the 'Mémère'." The second prince is a class B sorcerer "and is embarrassed to be praised. That's why I'm going to ask you to demote yourself to the" Magic Guild "after this survey ends."

You want to demote me?

Your Highness isn't a Class B mage anymore!?

"That's right. I'm thinking of getting a quasi-B or a C class." That way, there will be no merit in belonging to the "Cain sect". But if the Council of Wise Men forgives me. "

I can't forgive you!

Old Zamel looked at Prince Cain with anger in his eyes.

I can't see my lower heart, my lord!

"This is unexpected." What do you think I have in mind? "

"I told you earlier!" I think it is a management position in Grade B or above. Your Highness would be willing to reduce his work by becoming a quasi-B or C-class and concentrate on investigating the fifth basement layer!? While I struggle to run the Sorcery Guild! You can't forgive such cheating! "

“You know what I mean? If you're above grade B, you'll have such a hard time."

Prince Cain shrugged his shoulders.

"You were in the middle of a conversation. What kind of reward does Odette-Srei want?"

"I am..."

Odette bowed her eyes as she contemplated.

And then, after a while,

"I'm sorry." I can't think of anything yet. "

“Okay, there's no hurry.”

“Yes, I would like to get back to you as soon as possible.”

Odette looked at me with a stunned expression.

I know how you feel.

Odette joined the "Magic Guild" to be free from her father.

With the previous incident and becoming a semi-C-class magician, the purpose has almost been fulfilled.

Before she could do that, she was now a B-class── sorcerer, the manager of the [Magic Guild].

Moreover, Old Zamel and Prince Cain also praised Odette.

With the support of both of them, I could become a Class B magician, or an officer in a magic unit serving the royal family.

At the end of Odette, the road is clear.

That's why you might get lost.

"It's fine with me." Besides, Yuki wants to ask you something. "

"... that's right."

I said it again.

"Your Highness is expecting you." [Memento Faction]... no, what's going to happen to Colette, my disciple and Esetta = Memento quasi-B class sorcerer? "

"... that's right. I heard about them."

Then Prince Cain told me about Isetta-Mément and Colette.

The Ezetta and the Mémère factions have been in captivity for some time.

The mastermind, the Marquis of Mément, was also accompanied by royal soldiers.

The Mementoites committed illegal acts in the "Elysion" under the control of the royal family and the "Magic Guild".

Of course, you must be punished.

The Isetas are being held captive in the tower of the King's City.

The Marquis of Mément is surrounded by royal soldiers and ordered to stay out of the mansion.

They're supposed to talk to him after he calms down.

Colette has left the Marquis de Mément's house because she became my disciple.

Besides, she's diving with me into "Elysion", where she's discovering a trespassing Mémento. From that, it is certain that she is not involved in a conspiracy.

That's why Colette won't be punished.

"But Miss Colette doesn't want to take care of her sister."

If it was Colette, it would be.

"I'm trying to make her wish come true."

Colette was to be deposited in a mansion near the tower.

From there, I went to the tower to take care of Isetta-Memement.

I'll go check on Colette later.

"I hope that Ezetta will not be a great sin."

Having said that, Prince Cain sighed.

“It was my mistake not to realize what she was thinking. So, as a prince, I'm going to ask for her sentence to be commuted. Also, if the mastermind is Marquis Memento, I can't help but think that Isetta couldn't defy me."

"I just wish for the happiness of my disciple, Colette."

"I see. If she stands on her own, she might be able to succeed the Marquis of Mément..."

Prince Cain shook his head (hat) to change his mood.

And then, look at me and Odette,

“I'll tell you about Ezetta as soon as I know more about it. Is that all right?"

“Yes, thank you.”

"Well then... let's talk about the future." Would you mind telling me about the case, Mr. Zamel? "

"It's about the party."

"Yes, sir."

Prince Cain nodded,

"A few days later, the Guild-sponsored" 5th Floor Reach Memorial Party "will be held."

“The meritorious lords will be greeted at the venue.”

The prince of Cain laughed, and the old Zamel's face was full of wrinkles.

"Yuuki-Grossaria, Odette-Srei. That's where we're going to talk about what you're doing. There will be plenty of people out there who want to get your attention. Perhaps you can apply for a frivolous conversation. It's all about preparing your mind."

Are you talking to me?

I'm not interested... I don't think so.

I've decided to marry Iris.

When the conversation comes, let's turn it over to Brother Zeros again.

Then, after a short chat, the meeting ended.

Odette and I were instructed to "go back to the dormitory and rest".

Old Zamel and Prince Cain still had work to do.

"This is what a Class B sorcerer looks like," said Prince Cain, smiling bitterly.

Old Zamel said in a grudging voice, "I will recommend you to class A at the next meeting! 'was declared.

It seems that the rivalry between the "Cain" and "Zamel" factions disappeared in time.

──With that in mind, Odette and I left the [Magic Guild].

Odette, are you okay?

I suddenly noticed that Odette was looking serious next to me.

Maybe you're worried about the reward?

"... yeah, I didn't think it was going to be that big of a story."

"Prince Cain also said, 'You don't have to hurry.'" Why don't you wait until Odette decides what she wants to do? "

“No, I already know what I want to do.”

Odette shook her head to the side.

"However, it has not been decided what method to take." I don't know how to take advantage of this reward. Not yet. ”

"I'll listen to you whenever you want." I'm used to the consultation route. "

I've been consulted by the villagers in my previous life.

──What kind of work do you think is right for you?

Please tell me the technology needed for── this job.

I'd like to propose to── her, but there was also the idea of thinking of a good situation.

"That's why I want you to tell me if you want to talk to me."

“Yes, please do that.”

Odette said that with a smile on her face.

"However, you have to decide this yourself." But thank you, Yuki. "

That's how we walk side by side.

Then I sent Odette to the dormitory and returned to Martha and the others.

The next day, Iris came to my quarters.

Isn't it too soon, Your Highness?

"Brother Cain has persuaded His Majesty." Now that you've given me permission, I'm here on that leg. ”

Iris declared that at the door of the dormitory.

There is a royal carriage parked in the back.

Next to the carriage are the soldiers of the guard and the royal maid.

I bowed to the soldiers and the maids.

"Thank you for doing your duty as an escort to Lord Iris." I'll take over from now on. "

I'm also an Iris Guardian.

I can use this kind of reasoning.

"The meeting with His Highness is scheduled for about two hours. In the meantime, why don't you return to the Royal Palace? If there's a royal carriage here, it'll stand out."

"I understand." Guard Knight »

Your Highness's personal safety is guaranteed by me and the demons.

I'll do it I'll do it

In response to my words, the bat dicks throw their wings on the roof.

The guard bowed,

"I have been instructed by His Highness Cain to leave this matter to the Knights Guard. I will come to pick you up when the time is right. Thank you very much, Your Highness.”

Even if it replaces this body...

Now, if you'll excuse me.

Having said that, the carriage returned to the royal palace.

After I lost sight of him, I whispered,

"At least give me a call, Iris."

“I was the only one left in the search for the fifth level.”

"You don't have to be a princess."

"I was the only one out there."

Iris swelled her cheeks.

“I could have helped My Lord.”

I'll think about it next time I get the chance.

Promise?

"More than that, I want to show you something." Please come to the reception room. "

So I invited Iris to the dorm.──

I was going to introduce Iris to Golem's "Ferra."

At ──the same time, Odette's point of view──

"What is your father thinking!?"

Earlier that morning, a letter from my father came to Odette.

The contents are as follows.

”I offered you and Yuki = Grossaria to the Countess of Grossaria.

Thinking about your future.

You promised. Until you quit the "Magic Guild" yourself, you'll admit your freedom.

That's why I'm not forcing you to do this either.

But it's not a bad story, is it?

Yuuki = Grossaria is His Highness the Guardian of Iris.

In the [Magic Guild], you're also the closest magician to me.

Isn't it more of an opponent?

If you refuse, let me know why.

I repeat, this is for your own good.── "

"Before you let me know, it would be... too hard to bring a story to Yuki's parents' house"

The hand holding the letter was trembling.

I think it's a serene way of doing things for my father.

My father would have immediately put together an editorial without listening to Odette.

Compared to that, it was still a decent way of doing things.

I can understand the fact that the person I'm talking to is Yuki.

Yuki is the closest man to Odette, and Odette's best friend, the guardian knight of Princess Iris.

It seems like the most appropriate person for a conversation.

From others who do not know what happened to── Yuki and Iris in their previous lives.

(... you're telling me to get in the way of Iris!?)

An unvoiced scream resounded in Odette's chest.

Iris is going to marry Yuki.

For this reason, Yuki has earned the title of house by making achievements in the "Magic Guild".

It has come one step closer to fulfillment.

The success of the "Explorer of the Fifth Layer of Ellusion" raises the title of the Grossaria family again.

Prince Cain had already given his word. It's only a matter of time.

"...... but at this moment, you're doing something like this"

There was a continuation of my father's letter.

Before you say no, think about where Yuki = Grossaria stands

──Such intimidating words.

(That's my father. I'll think of something I don't like.)

The ──rising Glossary refused to accept a greeting from the Duke of Sleigh.

──After that, Yuki applies to marry Princess Iris.

Both give rise to speculations from the royal family and the nobility.

At the very least, the Grossaria house will attract the attention of the nobles.

Yuki and Iris are going to leave human society eventually, but that's fine.

But that's not what Yuki's family does.

If Yuki and Iris are just getting married, they can talk about the love story of the Guard Knight and the Princess.

But if you've been kicking kicks from Duke Sleigh's house before that, that's fine.

The nobles will burn the flames of jealousy.

Sympathy for Odette may lead to attacks on Yuuki's family home.

For better or worse, the Duke of Sleigh is the highest nobleman, and Odette is his daughter.

The impact is immeasurable.

And if their marriage has a negative impact on their parents' home... we won't be able to leave the human society.

Yuki cares about her family.

I can tell when I think of my previous life.

He has been adored by the villagers for 150 years, and── he has cherished them himself.

That's why he's still looking for information about the villagers.

The villagers are answering that question.

I can't let him... leave my parents' house alone.

"The conversation with me is going to make Yuki and Iris suffer..."

This conversation is like an explosive for Yuki and Iris.

Handle with care.

Thinking so, Odette bent her lips.

“We have to hit the edge before it burns.”

Odette declared it completely.

"If you can't deal with it in time......"

You may have to be prepared.

With that in mind, Odette began to prepare a letter.
