I invited Ophelia-Torius into my room.

When she closes the door, she pinches the dress skirt and gives her formal thanks as a nobleman.

"Perhaps at night, no more."

"Fine. So you're talking about me and..." My Road. "

"Yes… the old song that the Kaasama clan has defended is sung by his figure."

Ophelia has a beautiful voice and starts singing.

─ ─ Dark hair, living in darkness.

─ ─ Soothing gentle, black eyes.

─ ─ The patron saint of the gracious village, dancing through the universe without wings.

With a faint voice, after singing, Ophelia raised her face.

"So I sang many songs before Yuki. To see if you're Lord... and I'm sure."

Ofelia's got big eyes, look at me.

"I'll ask you once now. Are you the legendary myload told in Kaasama's song...?

"Ophelia, I don't know if your" My Road "is the same as my other name. So I'll just give you my first name."

"Now let me give you the family name of My Lord."

Me and Ophelia took one deep breath and then...

"I am Dean of Fira, a village on a mountain."

"The patron saint of the village, called" Nosferatu, "" The Immortal (Lord of) Mage (Nosferatu). "

For a while, there was silence.

Me and Ophelia finished talking about our old names and sighed, whoops.

"Again... Yuki was" True Road "--Lord."

"Oh, there's been a lot of reincarnation"

"Yes. I believe"

"That's light!

"Or else, Lord will be back soon," they said.

Ofelia looked happy, laughing.

"So Master Ophelia... No, is Ophelia a descendant of 'Village of Fira'?

"Yes, definitely a descendant of the village of My Road. But the name 'Village of Fira'... I've never heard it before."

"Were you?

"Yes, the name of the village is no longer in the song"

"I know."

"Do you understand...?

"The village chief at the time... it seems that Lyle made a lot of noise."

He walked into the 'Sanctuary Church' and did so much damage to them, leaving the notoriety of the 'Sage of Betrayal' behind.

Naturally, 'Sanctuary Church' would have tried to retaliate, and 'Village of Fira' would have been its target.

As a precaution, I suppose that means that the name of the village - or existence itself - has been erased from history.

"Wow...... you know more than I do. Lord."

Ofelia looks like a pussy.

"Kaasama only called his clan the village storyteller. He who spins memories with songs,"

"I wish I could have told you another song."

"The stronger I feel, the more impressive I get..."

In a gruesome tone, Ophelia said.

Are you a little confused, because it's night, or is it hard to believe that the beings you've spoken of in songs are in front of you?

"I left a song as impactful as possible," Kaasama said.

"But you haven't remembered the village in a long time. Thank you for that. Ophelia."

"……… I can be praised, I can illuminate"

Ophelia turned bright red and left her face on.

Try this, it's really small.

Is my age around ten years old? You said in the story that you don't even get out in public very often.

"From now on, Lord will go to the site of the village."

"Oh. Lyle's... No, he forgot something about the old village chief."

"So there's something I need to tell you"

Ofelia looked at me seriously.

"The landslide that plugged the way to the village didn't happen naturally."

"What happened intentionally by the villagers, or something?

"... eh"

"I don't want to talk about it, but my stupid son - I don't know if it would be nice if the old village chief dived into The Sanctuary Church and did some amazing damage. Naturally, the village should have bought the 'Sanctuary Church' grudge too. So, lest they should be retaliated against, all the inhabitants of the village went down the mountain and were scattered around the town. And don't you mean back and forth, you had a landslide in" Ancient Magic, "and sealed the village?

"... Lord... Wow"

I heard from Rhodelia from the "Grail Chamber of Commerce" before.

The villagers split into 'merchants' who do business and increase their assets and 'infiltrators' to defeat the Sanctuary Church, Rhodelia said.

The 'infiltrators' would have left the village and entered the 'Sanctuary Church', and the 'merchants', with their village assets, should have started their business in the town.

Both, because they should have left the village.

"Lord, you're right. So, Lord, they say there's only one way to figure it out."

"Okay. By the way, what's going on with the song?

"'To prevent false saints, rock the earth and fence the walls. Until the true Lord returns, the village will not get a moment's sleep' …"

"You're right."

"Yes...... I no longer have a reason to tell you the song"

"I'll let you hear it later. Any other precautions?

"This has nothing to do with the song... there are dangerous demons nestled in the mountains..."

"The effect of the Eight Kings War?

"No. It was originally the harassment of the 'Sanctuary Church'... apparently"

"... Huh?

"The 'Sanctuary Church' is on the mountain, its village - Lord - tried to attack what you called the 'village of Fira', but the mountain path was blocked and the villagers were gone. So to harass you, there is still a song about driving demons toward the mountains...... Then time went by and the demons grew in the mountains..."

Ophelia started singing in a small voice.

"─ A false saint stands in front of a sealed village ─

― ― Dare to drive the demons away and isolate the mountains from the outside ―

"... that sucks." Sanctuary Church ""

Dean-Nosferatu is a demon king with demons as his family, and you came to kill me.

But in a few years' time, we'll be harassing ourselves by using demons...

That's why I hate it. "Sanctuary Church".

"When there's a demon nesting in the mountains, it's tough on the Tories."

"Yes, that's why I always place soldiers in the mountain demon control. Because we have to be vigilant about both the mountains and the borders...... we are understaffed. To counteract the Empire... I sent Natasha to the King's capital, and that's why..."

"What kind of monster is he in the mountains?

"It's a giant snake demon. Many are hard scaled and highly defensive."

"Okay. I'll see what I can do. And then..."

I opened the window and whistled.

"'And? Oshijun' ''

From the window, a bat Dick and Cliff, a garm held by both of them, jump in.

I hold Garm's body and wipe his legs with cloth for now.

"Introduce. My user, Dick and Cliff, Garm."

"'Nice to meet you -'"

"Shh, wow. 'My Lord' was very good at talking to animals... '

Ophelia shines her eyes and stares at the Dicks.

"... cute. Are you okay with that?

"I don't mind. Or the bat cliff and the dog Garm will keep it with Ophelia"

"Huh?"

"While I'm at the village site, I want you both to be liaison officers. If anything happens, give Cliff a letter."

"Hey, wait a minute... How did you get there?

"A while ago, I met a powerful demon across the Inland Sea. That's all I care about all the time."

I explained to Ophelia, "Armed Auga."

There must have been a demon with armor all over his body and a powerful shield.

That it was not naturally occurring and that someone could have manipulated it.

That someone who was manipulating him is still out there somewhere.

"I don't know where or who that is. But... I don't think the" Sorcery Guild "is on the lookout for the King's Capital. Maybe the killer crossed the Inland Sea and headed north"

"To this Torrious Territory, is it?

"Oh. I thought it was to keep you from going after yourself that you stormed 'Armed Auga'."

"Maybe...... did the person go to the Empire?

"I don't know. But you've never been more vigilant."

If Natasha arrives in the King's Capital, the Empire will be passed on to the Royal Palace and the 'Sorcery Guild'.

Because it's a border issue, soldiers and magicians will be dispatched.

Until then, I just need to be a little vigilant.

"But Lord, why are you so far away from me?

"It's a thank you for teaching me the history of the village. And Ophelia is also a descendant of the villagers."

"For that reason!?

"I'm going to be gone from the human world in time. At that time, I want to be able to disappear without worry. It's not for Ophelia. For me to relax and live in immortality."

I hear Lyle left me my own King's Ride, so I'm even going to spend some time researching it after it disappears from people's worlds.

Either way, I plan to make replicas of 'ancient objects' that I can use on a daily basis.

Specifically, a foot that walks on its own or an automatic, unwavering carriage?

So, after I make it, actually, I want someone I know to use to try it.

That's about the descendants of the 'Village of Fira' that seems to keep me company.

The rest of us make it, why do we have this stuff - or it looks like it's loud.

So I'm in trouble for those of you who know my last life, Dean-Nosferatu, to have to live as much as possible.

Otherwise, there's no tension in immortality.

─ And I explained to Ophelia.

"To put it plainly… it's for personal gain."

"There's something wrong with the meaning of 'private personal greed'. Lord."

For some reason, Ophelia put her neck up like she was in trouble,

"Great......"

"Hmm?"

"Now I know why Kaasama's clan was telling the story about you. If I were on your side like this... I would want to talk to my offspring."

"... are you being praised, me"

"I applaud you so much. My... Lord."

That said, Ophelia knelt down in front of me.

"As a people, is there anything else I can do to help you? Lord."

"Well, if there's any other song about the village, I want you to tell me"

I'll think about it for a second.

"Something about a song involving 'Ancient Castle' that was near the village"

"Oh, there is. Wow,. How do you know…"

"Is it really there, amazing..."

"Yes, this is the song..."

Ophelia held down the chest of the dress and began singing in a small voice.

"─ It will be the great castle of His presence that the True Lord returns.

─ The chief of the people learns, and the bottom of the room is a wisdom souvenir.

"All right, all right."

"Have you figured it out yet!?

"Maybe that song was requested by Lyle's guy"

Sage souvenirs are the legacy of the Sage.

Probably refers to what "Lyle-Carmain, the Betrayal Sage," left behind.

The study room the chief of the people studied and used by children in the ancient castle.

"Mostly. Okay. Get ready by the end of the day and call tomorrow"

"Yes. My Lord... So,"

Ophelia looked embarrassed, laying down her face,

"Why don't you give me your head?

I don't care.

I put my hand on Ophelia's head and loosened it gently.

"... hehe... my dream has come true"

"A dream?"

"... it was in Kaasama's song." In our ancestral village, the patron god gives us a head for the ritual of adulthood. "

"... that happened too"

"The lyrics-- Lord protected the village from The Sanctuary Church... but the villagers wanted Lord to live. Even if we were to fight the Church of the Sanctuary, I wanted to be Lord's people... and I'm sorry..."

"Maybe I, am I pissed off?

"No. The song is at the end, don't die again, I'm singing"

Ophelia grabbed my hand and cheered.

"'Don't die again. Live forever so that the children of the village can laugh all the time.' ─"

"Honestly, those people can't help but plug the challenge."

"─ ─ ─" You're the one who raised us, our great - - The True Lord "-"

"Yes, sir."

Then I left my bat cliff and my ex-pupple Garm with Ophelia.

"I'll stay -" "I'll stay with you -"

"Best wishes. Mr. Cliff, Mr. Garm."

Ophelia went back to her room as she held up the garm.

The next morning, I visited Odette's room and told her what was going on.

I told him there was a demon in the mountains, and I went to the village site alone, and...

"What are you talking about? I've decided to go, too."

"After all?"

"I see your journey," I said?

Odette turned to me and let me close one eye.

"There are many people who talk about you (My Road) back in the day, but not many people talk about you now - Yuki-Grossalia. I'll do it. Can someone, other than a village dweller, know the truth about you?

"Damn, after I disappear from the human world, it's like Odette remaining in the human world among my friends"

"I think I heard something subtle and amazing, but yes!

"Okay. Let's go together, Odette."

"Yes! Yuki"

Thus me and Odette decided to leave for the site of the village of Fira.
