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──

──Nice to meet you, it's Golem's "Ferra."

This is my room.

When I invited Iris into the room, I took the Golem's [Feela] out of the [Storage Magic] and activated it.

To tell Iris what I heard.

Now, I'm going to tell you about Meer-Carmine.──

Then [Ferra] began to talk about his master.

"... did that happen?"

Iris was dumbfounded when she heard the story of Golem [Feira].

It's not impossible.

I didn't expect the Golem to hear from my sister.

──This is all that Ferra knows.

"...... Mr. [Ferra]"

As [Feela] finished her talk, Iris wobbled and rose from her chair.

Keep approaching "Feela", kneel down, and──

"Thank you very much. [Ferra]. You're protecting Alice's family..."

I hugged Golem's [Feira].

“I can see how comforting Meer was because of you. Since you stayed by my side, you've done your best to live deep in the basement....."

”... you're the master's family, aren't you?”

Do you understand?

You should feel the magic power nearby

"I── received [Magic Blood (Myster Blood)] from My Lord, and because Meer receives Alice's blood, my magic is similar."

Then Iris stuck her face to [Feira] 's shoulder.

It was like I was looking for my sister's scent.

"...... I finally got a lead on Lyle and the others."

Lyle outperformed the people in the [Sanctuary Church] in the fifth tier of [Elysion].

Then I deposited Meer with the people who were involved in the [Koushaku Ke].

If you go to the── Duke's or Marquis' house, you might find out about Lyle and the others.

Of course, Lyle and the others aren't in the world anymore. I know that.

But I want to see what happens to them.

I'd like to go to Lyle's grave and praise him.

──You've done well enough.

──Thanks to you, Iris and I are here now.

I want to tell you something like that.

That's all I can do... as a family.

“So, Iris, I'm sorry to hear that Meer was picked up.”

"Meer was taken in by someone associated with the Duke's House or the Marquis's House at the time, right?"

“Yeah, I think that's where Iris' grandmother came from.”

This is almost certain.

That's probably why Iris' grandmother was so old.

Two hundred years ago, I gave Alice a lot of [Mysterious Blood] to treat [Deathprint Disease].

Meer is getting blood from the Alice. Because after I died, Meir suffered from Death Print Disease.

At that time, the effects of [Magic Blood] on Meer were inherited.

"I mean, Iris will be a descendant of Meir."

"When I think about it... it feels strange."

Iris had a distant look in her eyes.

"In my... Alice's memory, there was Meir, who was a baby. That Meer became [Fiera] 's master... and grown up to be my ancestor's mother..."

”I feel that way... somehow, I feel like I can understand it”

Is that so?

"In my previous life, I watched Lyle and Remilia, who were babies, grow up and become Alice's parents." Everywhere the rest of the village grows. "

“Which means I'm now the same as My Lord.”

Alice said that and laughed.

"For a long time, I thought Meer might be my ancestor... but now I can finally feel it." There's a lot of Meer's blood in me..... "

That's right.

I was staring at Iris's face.

Lyle and I didn't just leave messages and clues.

Iris's very bloodline was Lyle's legacy.

Because her grandmother was immature, Iris thought she would look into her own constitution. That's why I joined the "Magic Guild". As part of my job, I came to Grossaria for the examination of Brother Zeros.

That's how Iris met── me.

It's like a miracle that happened because Meer left me blood.

"So, in the future, can I visit Iris's grandmother's home?" I want to make sure that Meer hasn't left anything behind. "

“I think I can. However, now that I can enter the fifth tier of [Ellusion], everyone else wants to explore it....."

"Is it unnatural for us to leave the capital?"

That's right.

"Odette and I broke through the fifth barrier with all our might."

It would be unnatural if I didn't seem interested.

We should continue exploring like ordinary sorcerers.

“All right, I'll leave you to it.”

“That's right, My Lord and Odette are getting everyone's attention thanks to their incredible achievements. Let's wait until it's almost cold.”

I wish I had a clue about Meir and her grandmother at their parents' house.

It was 200 years ago. It may be difficult.

But there was hope.

Lyle and the others left us a clue to our reincarnation.

Meer may be doing the same thing.

"First, let's wait for the [Magic Guild] to calm down." Then I'll visit Iris's grandmother's home and look for a clue to Meir. In the future, let's go according to that plan. "

“Yes, My Lord.”

"... what's the matter?"

Iris stops moving while hugging [Feira].

Something bothers me.

I'm a little worried about Odette.

Iris let go of [Feira] and said something like that.

"As I said earlier... My Lord and Odette did a great job exploring the fifth tier of [Ellusion], didn't they?"

Yeah, I was hoping to find out about Lyle.

"But people other than Odette don't know that." I think some people think that My Lord and Odette want to be part of the Sorcery Guild. "

"... certainly"

“Odette's parents might use it.”

Is that why you're worried about Odette?

"... yes"

Iris has a point.

The Duke of Sleigh had previously tried to get Odette out of the [Magic Guild].

To do so, he moved his nobles to interfere with Odette's orientation.

However, the plan failed, and Duke Sulei said, "I will never stand in Odette's way again. Until she quit the magic guild herself, she would take a vow to 'admit her freedom'.

Since then, Lord Sleigh hasn't been able to reach out to Odette.──

But you might be planning something anyway?

"... yes"

Iris puts her finger on her lips and asks her to talk confidentially.

"I live as a princess in this world too... so I understand the nobility's way of thinking a little bit." I've seen him before, but he was a powerful man. I don't think I'm going to give up on one mistake. ”

As a princess, how do you think Duke Sleigh would move?

"I don't know that much."

Iris shook her head.

"I just feel like Duke Slay would use Odette." Odette brings credit for this opportunity, which has attracted everyone's attention.── ”

And what?

"... somehow, I'm going to make a fuss"

"As far as I'm concerned, I don't feel the power of that word."

Alice's parents,── Lyle and Remilia, were geniuses that [Feira Village] was proud of.

Alice, my two children, was also smart. I don't forget what I taught you once, and there was something like a strange intuition.

If the iris of the reincarnated body says, "I'm furious," I'll believe it.

“Okay, I'll talk to Odette later.”

"I will also send out a letter. so that we can talk about it in peace."

We nod.

Then I put the Golem's "Ferra" into the "Storage Magic".

"Feela" was broken due to the damage she had taken in the past.

I'd like to keep it to a minimum until it can be repaired.

After that, Iris and I had a cup of tea.

I started talking about my plans for the future and about Odette.

That said, we have a plan.

When you're settled, go to Iris' grandmother's house.

Until then, as an ordinary magician, I continued to explore [Elysion].

Iris contacts her grandmother's family to find out about Meer. That's about it.

So, the conversation quickly turned out to be about Odette.

I'm worried about her, too.

It was my fault that Odette became a user of the [Rider of the Spirit King], and that she was able to achieve her achievements in the search for [Ellusion].

If Odette's in trouble, we have to help her.

The question is how Duke Sleigh will come out.

I don't know what the nobility thinks.

My parents, the Earl of Grossaria, are not aristocratic.

Neither Father nor Brother Zeros will tell me what to do, nor will I think of using it. On the contrary, I am throwing a whole letter to Brother Zeros from another nobleman for his merits.

That's why I don't understand the idea of using the Duke of Sleigh's... family.

I'm scared of it. What will Lord Sleigh do to Odette?──

"Excuse me, Mr. Yuki." I received an urgent letter from Mr. Zeros. "

When I thought about it, I heard Martha's voice outside the room.

"I'm sorry to bother you during this conversation. However, it is urgent...."

"Never mind, Martha. You can come in."

"... but, uh..."

"It's all right, Her Highness Iris." I know everything about my situation (...)

I told Martha about my previous life.

That way, Martha will know that Iris is related to my previous life.

"I understand." Now, if you'll excuse me. ”

The door opened.

Martha, in her maid's clothes, bowed her head deeply toward Iris,

"I apologize for the rudeness, Your Highness Iris."

"Don't worry, dear Martha."

Returning to the princess's tone, Iris answered.

"Is this an urgent letter from Yuuki-sama's parents?" Do you think I should leave my seat? "

No.

At this timing, I am concerned that a letter from Brother Zeros has arrived.

In that case, I'd better ask Iris to listen to me too.

"If you don't like your Highness, stay with me."

Got it.

Martha, I need a letter.

"Yes, Yuki-sama."

I got a letter from Martha.

When I opened the seal, the text written by Brother Zeros appeared.

As usual, it's a desperate letter.

So, the contents of the letter──

"...... Your Highness"

"Yes, Yuki-sama."

Your Highness's prediction seems to have come true.

In the letter from Brother Zeros, it was written as follows.

To Yuki.

You've been asked to talk to me again.

I usually say no, but this time it's the Duke's house. Besides, this is a farewell conversation with your daughter, Odette-Srei.

It is difficult for my father to refuse a conversation brought from the Duke's house.

The Duke of Sleigh is the highest nobleman.

Some aristocrats would be disgusted if they refused to talk about it.

Of course, my father and I will respect your will.

I know what's going on with you, and I've made a vow to keep your secret.

If your secrets are in danger of being revealed, I will ask your father to refuse this conversation.

However, Odette-Srei is your friend and partner in the [Magic Guild].

If Yuki says, "I don't care if it's Odette," let's proceed with this conversation.

I'd like to hear your opinion first. [M]

Zeros = Glossaria is your brother and your ally.

Don't forget that. "

"... that's why you're being too serious."

It would be nice if Brother Zeros gave priority to my wishes.

But... this is a very difficult story to deal with.

As you can see in your brother's letter, the Duke of Sleigh is the highest nobleman.

It is also a great honor to be brought to the house for a chat.

For the Grossaria family of the former Baron, it's like someone on the clouds called out to them.

It's pretty hard to turn it down.

Relationships between aristocrats are tough.

If you refuse to talk, you may cause trouble for your father, your brother, and Loomia.

Even so, I can't afford to be consulted about this.

I'm promising to marry Iris. Before that, he was immortal. We must one day get away from human society.

It's impossible for such a person to marry Odette.

Besides, if I leave Odette behind when I disappear... then Grossaria's house will buy the resentment of the Duke's house. I thought it would be the same if I took Odette with me.

Odette's father has no way of knowing what's going on with me.

... maybe that's why Duke Sleigh aimed at me.

He has made a vow to 'stay out of Odette's way'.

That's why I can't deal directly with Odette.

But if you use me, you're not breaking your vows.

Is that why he's using me to move Odette as he wants...? "

This is certainly... it could be a big deal.

... I'm sorry, Brother Zeros. Take care of it.

"... Yuki-san?"

"... is it true that my prediction came true...?"

I noticed that Martha and Iris were looking at me worried.

I left a letter in front of both of them.

"It seems that a story has come to my parents' house." From the Duke of Suray's house. "With Mr. Odette-Srei."

"Oh, are you talking to Odette-sama!?"

"No, I'm not getting married yet, Martha."

I'll answer Martha in astonishment.

"However, even if you refuse, you must not crush the faces of Odette-sama and the Duke of Suray." There's a way to deal with that, so don't worry about it. ”

Is that so?

I'm going to ask Odette for trouble.

Odette knows what's going on with me. Maybe you can help us.

And this way, Odette can get rid of her father's interference.

The means are not so difficult.

Make Odette my disciple, or I'll be Odette's disciple.

At the request of Isetta = Memento, I learned when I made Colette a disciple... but if I made the nobleman a disciple, it seems that the disciple side will temporarily withdraw their citizenship from their parents' home.

It is said that this is to ensure that the apprentice is not spoilt for choice at his parents' home.

Ezetta used the system to keep her sister Colette out of the conspiracy.

That's why Colette is still innocent now that the Conspiracy of the House of the Marquise of Mément has been revealed.

Of course, sometimes she wasn't involved in a conspiracy because she was originally quarantined at the House of Mément.

Likewise, if Odette becomes my apprentice, she will temporarily withdraw her citizenship from Duke Sleigh's house. So we can eliminate interference from the Duke.

On the other hand, I was supposed to be Odette's disciple.

I'll be temporarily unregistered from my parents' home, so I won't bother my father or my brother if I refuse to talk to them. Becoming a master and a disciple, you can also convince your surroundings by encouraging each other to practice magic.

──I explained that to Martha.

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

Martha sighed again.

"Of course, Martha doesn't hate talking to Yuki and Odette. However, since there are many [oops, it's a secret] for Yuki-sama, I'm worried about what the Duke of Slei thinks..."

"I know. I'm sorry. Don't worry."

I smacked Martha in the head.

I think we'll figure something out with this.

The problem is that I can't marry Iris even if the Glossary house becomes a Marquis's house... but we'll figure this out later.

Right now, we need to buy time.

"Yuki-sama... no, my Lord"

I noticed that Iris was looking at me and Martha with a serious look on her face.

”... it might be difficult for Yuki-sama and Odette to become master and disciple...”

Your Highness?

"I'm sorry. I can't afford to decorate my words, so I'm going back to Alice."

Huh? Huh? Huh?

Martha rolls her eyes at the sudden change in Iris.

Bowing to her like that, Iris,

“I'm sorry, Martha. My Lord will explain more to you later.”

The whole thing was thrown.

Well, I'll explain it to Martha.

But, Iris... are you mad at me?

"I'm just a little angry."

As if reading my thoughts, Iris said.

"If Duke Slay is holding your family hostage and trying to free My Lord... that's because he's doing the same thing as that organization 200 years ago."

"... is that so?"

"Of course, I don't know what Duke Sleigh meant. Maybe you really want Odette to be happy. If that's the case...... I hope so."

"Is that hard to think of in that person's way?"

"... yes"

I can see why Iris is angry.

She must have remembered what the Sanctuary Church did to me and Lyle 200 years ago.

The [Sanctuary Church] took everyone from [Feira Village] hostage and ordered Lyle to kill me,── Dean = Nosferatu.

──If this conversation is about greed, Lord── Sleigh will take my family hostage and order me and Odette to marry.

The purpose is different, but both are holding my family hostage.

It was no wonder that Iris was angry.

I was just telling you, it might be difficult for My Lord and Odette to become masters and disciples.

"... maybe the rank of the mage is too close?"

"Yeah. My Lord is class C." Odette is quasi-C-class, but Old Zamel and Cain have recommended her to class C. Due to the exploration of the fifth layer, the appointment was delayed. "

In other words, you're almost the same, so you can't be a master or a disciple.

Yeah.

What if I'm a B or a quasi-B?

"When I got to Class B, I became the manager of the [Magic Guild]." I need to attend a meeting of wise men and participate in all kinds of work... so I can't move freely. I don't think I'd recommend it to My Lord. Even in quasi-B class... it may be difficult to become a C class apprentice "

"... I see."

Old Zamel said. When I got to Class B, I spent less time researching magic── and exploring [Elysion].

I need time to find out about Lyle and find out about the Sanctuary Church.

If so, would it be the last resort to become a Class B?

Another thing... I'm missing while I'm searching.

The point is, they're dead and gone. This won't bother anyone.

I don't really want to use this hand. There are lots of important people in the human world.

But if there's no other way to protect Father, Brother Zeros, and Loomia,──

"Um... my Lord"

"What's the matter, Iris?"

“I have an idea. I'd like to use my knowledge and experience as a princess to solve this problem... would you like to do that?"

“What are you going to do?”

You're not gonna announce Iris' engagement to me?

Sure, then we can crush the conversation.

The Duke of Sleigh's house will not be able to take Princess Iris' fiancée.

"But that should still be too soon..."

“No, I'm not going to crush the editorial.”

Like you read my mind, Iris said.

"The words of My Lord just now gave me a clue." Arrange it and deal with it. I am a princess and a member of the "Magic Guild". I understand the rules of the organization, so I use that knowledge. and the achievements of My Lord and Odette so far. "

Iris has an unstoppable smile on her face.

I remember that look.

It was Alice's face when she thought of something really good in her previous life.

──For example, when I deliberately made a mistake in class at Kojo and planned to stay overnight and study.

──For example, when I noticed that nuts I didn't like were used in class snacks and tried to replace them.

──For example, when you pitched a trap and tried to forcefully wash Dean = Nosferatu's hair.

It was my face at that time.

“And Martha, I need your help.”

Of course, if it's for Yuki-san's benefit.

“Thank you, by the way, Martha.”

Yes, Your Highness.

"Martha-sama is my Lord... no, you've been taking care of Yuuki-sama for a long time, right?"

"Yes, ever since I was home."

"I see... now, when this matter is settled, I will talk to you once."

"Yes! I am also interested in the story of His Highness and Yuki-sama."

Moody Iris and Martha.

I mean, Iris's expression was still on Alice.

No, Martha was more adaptable than that.

Martha normally accepted that the bats and Remy were human, but she also normally accepted that Iris had changed.

Maybe this is Martha's talent.

“Let's get in touch with Odette first.”

Iris said that and took my hand.

"I will write to you in a hurry. Can you deliver it to the bat, My Lord?"

"All right, I'll send it right away."

I'm sure Odette has heard a lot about it.

She knows about my appointment with Iris.

Maybe... I'll try to crush this conversation for anything.

We need to stop this before we do anything nonsense.

With that in mind, I called Dick the bat.
