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~

─ ─ Iris Odette viewpoint ─

"I have found out a few things about Flora-Zamel"

"I also found a candidate for Porter."

This is Iris' private room in the outhouse to the west.

Iris and Odette were, again, having a meeting for exploration.

"Yuki is now summoning the Black King (Lord of) Ride (Noir) at the Chamber of Commerce, isn't he?

"Yes, I'm going to discuss it with me at Odette first, compile the material, and then tell MyLord"

Iris and Odette put the material on the table.

"Which one do you want first?

"If you want Yuki to hear it, let's do it."

Iris and Odette looked at each other.

Arm up and think of Yuki's face.

"... you must be Mr. Flora-Zamel"

"... Yuki is sweet for children."

"That's the good thing about My Road, Odette. That's why I and Rhodelia serve him."

"I understand. I also traveled with Yuki."

"... can you tell me more about what kind of trip it was?

"It's not like you're going to get yourself out of the blue. Iris."

Odette pushed back his closing best friend's forehead.

"We'll start with a meeting before we explore the dungeon, right?

"Because..."

"Suddenly you'll be Alice-Carmain, Iris is"

Odette had Iris' silver hair.

Odette thinks this detachment will be difficult for Iris, who has regained Alice-Carmain's memory.

That's why Yuki is trying to pick up Iris as quickly as possible.

Even though I know that, when I watch Iris suddenly change from princess to village daughter mode, I accidentally spill a grin.

Looking at Iris honestly to his feelings, he felt as though, back when he was little.

"We'll talk about the journey later. Time is as much as it takes to explore the dungeons."

"Ok......"

Iris sits back in his seat, gets in position, and starts explaining.

"I asked General Barnes to look into Mr. Flora-Zamel"

"There's no doubt about that one. Yuki and I know each other."

"Yes. When I told you about the situation, I asked you to look into it confidentially. According to this, there seems to be no reason to antagonize the 'Cainese' against Mr. Flora himself."

"I guess..."

"Until you came to the 'Magic Guild', Mr. Flora herself was never involved with the 'Cainese' mage. But Old Zamel doesn't have the personality to harass him, so maybe he's being instructed by other 'Zamelites'."

"Yuki ordered me to harass you... but Flora-Zamel himself didn't care and it was such a halfway operation, do you mean?"

"I think so"

Iris put the material at hand on the table.

"So I guess the meanness she made my lord was a light one"

"Flora-Zamel is not a tough 'Zamelite'."

"Right. My Lord might be able to side with her."

"Iris, could you too..."

Odette looked at Iris's face, which looked fun, and laughed.

"You, are you going to take Flora-Zamel into the 'Yuki'?

"I'm not thinking that far."

"Really?

"I just thought I might be able to tell the 'Zamelites' through Flora-Zamel that My Lord is not a 'Cain'"

"Well, you sure are"

"Because then there should be no more harassment of My Lord"

Iris looked at the window, and, uh, sighed.

"I can't help but be seen as a 'cainist'. But My Lord is... someone no one will bind me to. I want you to be free until my minute."

"... Iris"

Looking at Iris' face, which seemed rusty, Odette also felt like she knew how she felt.

Iris cannot leave the palace without permission. It's called a "caged bird."

(Iris and Yuki are not free to see each other... Though Yuki's becoming an 'escort knight' would have increased the chances of seeing him)

Still, out-of-house security is strict from Odette's point of view.

Yuki and Iris are free to meet...

(... but you recently poked a security gap and said Yuki was coming to see you)

(... Plus, Neil, the Yuki user demon, is a liaison, so you're easily exchanging letters with me. Even today, that's how they called me)

(... Speaking of which, I also hear Yuki can use 'summoning magic' to summon Iris at any time...)

Thinking that far, Odette snapped his neck.

(... that? Isn't Iris a 'caged bird' now...?

Though he doesn't seem conscious yet.

But Iris can leave the palace at any time if he doesn't even care about being chased by the royal family.

Soon Yuki has set Iris free - and when he realizes it, Odette will look terrible.

"... you're an amazing person after all. Yuki."

"Yes. My Lord is a nice guy. In my previous life, I was my teacher, and in this world, I am my fiancée..."

"I'm going to bluff."

"But he's looking right at us"

"Sure, you treat me like a peer. Journey Inn, with me..."

"Together?

"... this is the story. Next thing you know, it's about the Luggage Carrier."

Odette, Kohon, took it easy and changed the story.

"You were my master, and I found just the right man. You belong to the 'Adventurer's Guild' in Wangdu. It's small, but powerful, and they can use flying tools. You can also discover traps."

"Thank you. It's safe to introduce Odette."

"I seem to have done a couple of 'Magic Guild' jobs, and I have a proven track record. We're negotiating right now, so we'll have a contract by the time we explore. Shallow floors are explored exclusively by magicians, and from the third level onwards, it seems Theory is the one who hires' luggage carriers', so let's do that."

"Okay. So please make arrangements."

"If it were His Highness Iris' luggage carriage ', he wouldn't say no."

Odette gave Iris the material.

"By the way, before you go into the dungeon, let me check one thing"

"What is it, Odette"

"I'm talking about you as a princess. Iris-Leastia"

Odette let himself breathe, then snapped.

This is something we need to check before we start exploring.

"If we find a new 'Antiquity' or 'Ancient Magic' in this' Exploration of Elusion ', the Baron Grossaria of Yuki - no, the Viscount - will raise its title again."

"... you will"

"Then your engagement with Yuki will also become realistic. A formal fiancée would also be able to embark on a journey with royal permission. That's how after we embark on our journey, we go missing. That's how you live in a different world than people. That's what Yuki and you are for, isn't it?

"... right"

"That's already realistic. Iris, are you ready to be?

Odette looked Iris in the eye and told him.

"Yuki is that character, so the boundaries around it will be crossed in no time. But Iris...... both you and Alice-Carmain in previous life are human beings. Are you ready to abandon people's worlds and live with Yuki?

"Of course it is. Yeah... of course."

Iris closed his eyes, held his chest, and told him.

"That's it now. Odette."

"You didn't have to ask."

"In Iris, Alice says. He said he was ready for something. When I, who was Alice in my previous life, pierced my own breasts with the Holy Sword Lean Kaal"

"Abandon your status as a princess?

"Yeah. Even if Iris-Leastia can't be immortal. I'll follow my road."

"... I'm so proud of you"

Odette sighed.

"I haven't thought of anyone that far..."

"Didn't you say something weird?

"It's my fault."

Odette somehow, out of sight of Iris,

"You've been too ahead of the story. Let's get ready. that we may safely serve our purpose in 'Elusion' and come back."

That's how Iris and Odette resumed their meeting to explore 'Elusion'.

─ ─ In the lab of the magic guild 'Zamel' ─

"Now that the Church of the Sanctuary is back, the Magic Guild should be united under our Zamelites."

Laboratory owned by the 'Zamel' of the Sorcery Guild.

A young magician was gathering to talk.

"Indeed, the men of my faction have resorted to forceful means to obtain the Beast King (Lord of =) Ride (Beast). But it was inevitable to confront the Church of the Sanctuary and the Empire."

"Exactly. More research needs to be done quickly than enemies have appeared. To that end, we, the Zamelites, should manage all the King's Rides."

In the dim room, another voice responds to the voice of the first mage.

"But was it necessary to obstruct a newcomer mage for that?

"You mean Yuki-Grossalia?

"He is a meritorious man who got the 'Beast King Ride'. Shouldn't we be on our side?

"That obstruction is an Alek-Keirth rampage. He has a personal grudge against Yuki-Grossalia. So I guess you tried to interrupt his actions."

Unexpectedly, silence filled the lab.

After a while...

"... Is he really a 'cainist'?

"... I don't know. Yuki-Grossalia is too substandard."

"... it is dangerous to turn to the enemy. I can't read what happens. Besides, he is also Lord Iris' escort knight."

"... we just want to sharpen His Highness Cain's influence. I don't want to be hostile to the royal family."

Under the dim lights, the magicians nod.

"Alek-Keeles and Flora were to be punished for a week of magic sealing."

"Alek-Keels is fine with that. I can't use it to explore."

"Mr. Flora... let's try to get him on another team"

So the sorcerers speak with their voices shut.

"We have to keep winning"

"It must not be like the Church of the Sanctuary."

"By not defeating and continuing to win, you unravel the mysteries of ancient magic"

"" We dominate the lower level of 'Elusion' and monopolize 'Ancient Sorcery' and 'Ancient Artifacts' "

"... to face the threat."

"─ You guys, I'm counting on youthful power."

When the magicians told him, the magicians who were in the corner of the room bowed their heads simultaneously.

Hooded young magicians, nine. Three teams in pairs of three.

That is how the magicians of the Zamelites, who are responsible for exploring "Elusion", ended the ritual of bonding.
