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~

-That night. In the vicinity of a dormitory in Wangdu...

Thin moon shines, in the night.

A shadow of blackheads was moving over the roof of the building.

The location is near the aristocratic district.

Owned by the "Magic Guild," it was a neighborhood lined with quarters for guilders.

"... I'm pretty sure His Royal Highness Iris was in the carriage earlier"

One of the blackheads whispered.

Another nodded,

"This is information from you. The request is to explore the content of the stories of His Highness Iris and the Lady of the House of the Duke of Slay. Because if possible, find weaknesses."

"... it looks like the young lady from the Baron House is with us."

"... I thought another nobleman might be looking into it."

"... the sudden emergence raises noble doubts."

"Kicky," "Kicky."

"... the bats are so loud"

"... let's get rid of it. Now you can't hear the sound inside."

"... No, wait!

The leader of the blackheads raised his hand.

"─ ─ It was in your information. The bastard of the Baron House said he was using bats as a demon. That means it's coming together..."

The black-crushed men rise.

Signal the leader to wave and start retreating quickly.

The leg stepped on the rope that was falling on the roof.

"... hey, why is there a rope here?

─ ─

Bats passed before the leaders of the Blackheads.

The bat was turning the rope around with his mouth.

Thicker ropes than you can lift with a regular bat.

"Oh no, these guys have us."

"Yi-yi!

The moment I raised my voice, a rope wrapped around the body of the black-clad leader.

I can help my hands and feet, but I can't move.

The bat wraps the end of the rope around the entrance of the house. On the other side, another bat is turned. It's just a little bat. And yet...

"─ Is this the power of bats? Ugh, can't move."

"... Leader" "What the hell, these guys..."

Two of my buddies were in the same condition.

The bats flying around in the darkness are turning a rope on each one.

The bats fly around like trained soldiers and around the blackheads, wrapping ropes around their bodies. It's no longer curly from shoulder to foot.

"How could you not have noticed the bat? The sorcerer borrowed the demon..."

The leader snaps.

Keep an eye on the quarters of the young lady who belongs to the Sorcery Alliance. Naturally, I take care of my demons.

My client borrowed a dog demon from an acquainted magician.

The dog should be on the ground. When the other user demons get close, they're supposed to bark and let me know...

"That's surprisingly heavy. This guy."

Together with his voice, a dog was placed in front of the leader of the blackheads.

He was the user demon they brought in.

He's a white dog, but he's got blood around his head. But it doesn't look like he's hurt.

I'm just sleeping with my eyes closed. What the hell happened...

"I know you do, but you stick it out to the guards"

Next to the dog, a brunette boy stood.

I didn't make any footsteps. Even signs.

As he was there from the beginning, the boy looks down at the detained blackheads.

"The owner of the quarters is calling. They should be here soon. It would be helpful if you could talk to me about purpose and employer"

"... baroness bastard... yuki-grossalia"

"The other two pairs just swept the quarters away, but they saw bats and retreated. You were too close."

To the boy's words, the blackheads tremble.

They came here to conquer the weakness of the Duke's Lady and Princess Iris, who is coming with patience.

Yet they caught me before I could get the information.

On the contrary...

"Well, about your client... I heard him talking softly. As much as I use the demon, I knew it was a good opponent."

─ ─ If you're a boy, you've got information on the black-clad men.

Maybe you know where they came from.

"The guards are here. I'll leave you to them."

The boy takes the rope-wrapped men down to the ground.

You don't seem to have the power, but lightly. Hold two people at a time.

It was enough power from the men to take away the will to resist.

Eventually, the guards will come.

The men are blackened all over their bodies. Mask on face. Near aristocratic town.

There was no way the guards would have missed these people so suspicious.

"... what were you doing here!?

"... I'm not familiar with this attempt to peek into the dormitories of the Duke of Slay's house."

"... Walk anyway, listen in the stuffing room"

Thus the black-crushed men were pulled by the guards.

─ ─ Yuki viewpoint ─

"Eliminate His Highness Salvia's men," he said. Is this the third set you've come to put in your exploration? That's surprisingly a lot. "

I made a note of my opponent's style and lines on parchment.

"The first two pairs came from noble mansions, he said. Tell Odette where it is and you'll know who's behind it."

The first two pairs walked away when they dropped off in the Bat Corps where they had 'strengthened their bodies (Boosted)'.

I didn't show my face.

Because "as calm as possible" was Odette's hope.

They showed up to the blackheads because they had a demon with them.

He wasn't such a powerful user demon, so he snuck up and 'eroded (hacked)' to disable him.

There's got to be a magician behind this, or a man with an edge on the magician, so I decided to restrain him and stick him out to the guards.

"Goshiju-kun"

"What's up, Dick?"

"I remember getting rid of what was going on." All you have to do is Dick and the others - '

As I agree, a bat army flies around the quarters.

The rope is still there.

Will it be all right for a while if I call Dick and the others back with "Body Enhancement (Boosted)"?

"Please take your time -"

"I want to reassure you, Odette."

I'll leave you to the Bat Corps.

"Okay. So, Neil, I need you to touch it."

"It's my home -"

Flying Neil heads to the back of the quarters.

I tell Iris and I knock on the bedroom window when we need him.

Iris would understand Neil's words, so he would tell Odette or Martha.

When Neil gets back, I'm the "Block Signs" skill, just erase the signs and knock on the dorm window.

Well, I can't stay long.

No man can visit the Duke's quarters in the middle of the night.

There are maids and tutors in Odette's quarters.

So let's get rid of the signs so they don't find us and finish the conversation in a short time.

"Go ahead. Yuki."

After a while, the upstairs window opened.

Odette's got a face in the muffled lights.

I activate Flying and Blocking Signs skills.

Fluffy, floating, head to Odette's.

"Sorry about the night, Odette"

"I don't care. You have a report, don't you?

Odette in her room is laughing.

Iris is sitting on the bed.

Looks like they were both just in the bedroom.

"I saw the note. Guess from where the runaways are going, the first set is the Counts, the second set is the Viscounts, right? I'll look into your family name and let you know."

"Intermediate aristocracy means I'm the one doing it."

When I said it, Odette nodded.

"I guess. Perhaps I saw Mr. Loomia enter the dormitory and I came to explore it. To find out about the Baron Grossaria family."

"General Barnes said there might be a nobleman in the Baron's house who wants to explore."

"It's common for people to come out too soon."

Odette shrugged her shoulders.

"So these are the third group..."

"I heard them say 'Princess Salvia's request' in person. I don't know if I'll tell the guards that."

"They are the ones who undertake intelligence. I don't think it's easy to crack your mouth... but I have a demon."

"You'll be able to get a client from that side."

If they find out they had a demon with them, the "Magic Guild" moves.

Intelligence agents (spies) were trying to find the Duke's quarters.

Probably brighten up about the sorcerer who was behind it.

"Does the client mean Princess Salvia's purpose is Iris?"

"I have an idea about that"

Iris came forward.

I'm wearing Odette and a dressed room. We're good friends.

"As a matter of fact, when I returned to the outhouse earlier, His Majesty the King spoke to me. He chose some princes and princesses and sent them to the northern territories."

"A prince and a princess in the northern realm?

Speaking of which, Mr. Barnes said something similar.

Go on patrol to land close to the Empire. One of these days, a request for cooperation may be made to the 'Magic Guild', he said.

"And Iris was chosen?

"Yes, from those who belong to the 'Sorcery Guild', they're sending it as a priority"

"It seems that the Imperial movement has upset (how) the inhabitants of the territory located in the north. They decided to send His Royal Highness the Prince and His Royal Highness the Princess."

Odette took over Iris' words.

"It is an honor to receive a direct order from Your Majesty. So..."

"You mean the Yakimochi roasted Princess Salvia sent a spy in to find Iris's loss..."

"Right."

Royalty is tough too.

But, well, it's easy to deal with if you're a palpable opponent.

Later, via Dr. DeMetel, let's talk to His Highness Cain.

"... My Road. It's about the territorial inspection."

"Is it after my father's sermon?

"Yes, I'll be attending the ceremony."

"Okay. I'll follow the inspection, too."

When I said, Iris sighed like he was relieved.

"I'm Iris' escort knight. You deserve to follow me, don't you?

"'Guardian Knight'... is that why"

"And I'm worried I'll let you go alone."

"Thank you. My Road."

'Cause Iris... Alice doesn't know what she's gonna do when she leaves it.

Even during Brother Zeros's exams, he came to visit the exam venue with Mr. Barnes. I wish I could let my men do it.

A territorial inspection would bring soldiers along... but I knew I was worried.

"Well, it's time for me to go home."

If the maid of the Duke of Slay finds you, Odette will be annoyed.

Let's pull it up early today.

"Speaking of which, how's Loomia doing? Aren't you bothering me?

"Hehe, you're worried"

"I'm talking about my sister."

"Don't worry about it. We were friends until just now, and we were having tea together."

"Now, I sleep in my bedroom with Mr. Martha. Mr. Remy's back in the fox, and you're being held."

"Oh well."

"My brother likes me... he asked me a lot"

Iris laughs with pleasure.

Then she looked at me and spread her arms.

"... you have time with My Lord I don't know... I'm a little jealous. It's getting too rusty... here's my load, gibberish, let me loose."

"A, Your Highness Iris?

"" Shh. ""

Me and Iris put our fingers on our lips.

Odette hurriedly held his mouth...... turned around.

I approach Iris with my arms wide open.

Iris embraced my body like I couldn't wait to make it in time.

"Hmm. This is my road's temperature now, isn't it?"

"I don't think it's much different from my last life."

"My height is different. In my previous life, I could only stick my head to My Lord's stomach... and now your face is so close"

"That's close."

"If we stretch out, each other's foreheads will stick together."

"It'll stick."

"Can I stretch my back?

"If it's just my forehead that sticks"

"… so stop reading your mind"

Mm-hmm, and I'm gonna swoop my cheeks, and I'm gonna look up at me, Iris.

He's pointing his lips. The position is directly below my lips. I can see where you're after at a glance.

I've done something similar in my last life. Alice.

Lyle was building a folding platform then... so, Iris, I'm trying to explore something with my hands around my back. If you're looking, there's no Lyle stepping stone in this world.

"... I was just wondering if you wouldn't mind mouthing in my quarters."

Odette whispered in a trembling voice.

They were looking at me chills.

"...... ha"

Something like that, Iris let go of my body.

But my mouth is laughing.

Are you going to aim again while we're together on a territorial inspection...... I guess.

"Then it's Odette's turn."

""... Huh?

"I told you. Create a place where your best friends can get along without paying attention to each other."

Actually, that's why I was on watch.

The Princess and the Duke's Ladyship - two different identities, so that they can hug each other with no heart.

I did my job, too, so I need you to give me a proper hug.

"... that's what we talked about"

"… Wow, am I going to cuddle with His Highness?

"I'm a little embarrassed too... because today is rude."

"Ya, sure, maybe this much for best friends..."

Iris and Odette moving closer together.

Lighting up...... you two get closer.

But it seemed impossible to hug each other. Especially Odette.

Iris and Odette get close to a distance where their foreheads are likely to stick together and laugh at each other.

Not a princess or a duke's warrant, just like your best friends.

All right. We got something good to see, so let's go home.

I started "flying" and "blocking signs" again and flew out the window in my quarters.

In the bedroom after Yuki walked away.

"By the way, Your Highness."

"What is it, Odette"

"... it smells like yuki"

"Because we just hugged each other"

"It's like I'm in touch with Yuki."

"It's special, right?

"... is that a good thing to say"

"Odette was carried by Mylord to take the Guardian Knight Selection Exam, and stayed in the room with Mylord when he traveled. If it's Odette, you can split my Lord's temperature."

"So, Your Highness?

"Call me Iris today,"

"... Iris."

"Yes, then let's talk about My Road with each other, best friends"

"Oh, be gentle..."

"Meh, meh, meh."

Iris and Odette changed from bedroom to bedroom.

Until I fell asleep, I kept talking about Yuki.
