This is the main street of Wangdu.

Me and Odette are standing in front of the store.

Roomia is in the shop, choosing to give a souvenir to the people of the Territory.

This store is where Odette introduced me, and there's a bat Dick hiding in the bag I gave to Roomia. Security is in place.

Odette said, "We need to talk," so this is how we came out in front of the store.

"Actually, I'm staying in the king's capital."

Unexpectedly, Odette said.

"While Yuki and His Highness Iris were out on a tour of the territory, I got to work on the 'Magic Guild'. So you can't come with me."

"... that's a shame"

I sighed.

"I would have been relieved if Odette had come with me."

"I'm sorry, too. I wanted to travel with Yuki and His Highness, and I wanted to see the land near the Empire."

We're standing in line, in front of the store.

Roomia is talking to the clerk. Sneaking out of the bag, Dick's winging.

It's a "safe" sign. For a while now, it's okay to talk.

"By" magic guild "job, do you mean asking Odette directly?

"Yes. He wants to help my demons investigate the stairs leading to the fifth level of 'Elusion'"

"That staircase blocked with rubble and metal."

"Yuki paved the way."

The staircase leading to the fifth layer of Elusion is blocked by rubble, rock, metal, etc.

There are no gaps that people can pass through.

We have to do something about this obstacle to find out the fifth layer.

The guild magicians advanced to His Royal Highness Cain and Old Zamel to pave the way in "King's Ride (Road)," but they were dismissed.

Because I don't know what lies ahead of the obstacle.

Maybe it's because there's demons, maybe there's traps.

Now that we don't know that, it's risky to use King's Horse (Lord), a treasure in the treasure - and that's the conclusion of His Highness Cain and Old Zamel.

So you decided to explore beyond the rubble with the demon?

"I am using the serpent demon. It would be great to investigate narrow areas."

"Even the carriage on its way to King's Landing, Odette summoned me with a demon."

"That's... that's right."

As Odette suddenly panicked,

"Oh, yeah. I wanted to show Yuki that I also have powerful demons! Even this time. Because I will surprise Yuki by delivering results while the Yuki people are on their journey!!

"... why are you angry?

"I'm not mad! Because I'm not mad!!

"Anyway, be careful. Lyle said the fifth floor was dangerous."

"Yep. I'll be very careful..."

"What's up?

"Wouldn't Yuki make snakes, rats and other demons? The Yuki demon is powerful, so it's easy to investigate, isn't it?

"I wonder if snakes and mice can't. Because you need the consent of the other party to use it as a demon in" Magic Blood ". It's called compatibility."

A bat is compatible. They can be used as demons in a group.

If you're alone, dogs and foxes. I can also go wolves.

Snakes and rats were no good. Especially the snakes... by using them as demons, I tried to make them stop eating hen eggs, but they didn't make sense. I couldn't help but put a coalition of bats and owls on guard at the hen hut.

There were others... demons made of demons.

I haven't seen them since I was reincarnated. It would be useful to use it as a demon... I wonder if he's in the dungeon...

"So I don't think I can use it for this investigation"

"I have no choice. Either way, Yuki has to go on a territorial tour as an escort knight. I can't say I can't."

"Odette is the one. Don't force it."

"What do you think? I have as much appetite as I have."

Odette made me laugh, huh?

"If you ask for a guild, I will try to achieve a decent result. I don't like being left behind by you."

"... I'm not leaving you behind."

I'm trying to raise the title of the house in order to legally take Iris.

Because in order to daughter-in-law the princess, she has to join the top nobles.

To do this, we are very quick to achieve results in the 'Magic Guild'.

It was Yuki who became a C-Class sorcerer.

"That's not what I meant."

But Odette shook his head sideways.

"Because you and Your Highness will one day be gone from the world of men, won't you?

"... oh"

I don't get old. Probably stops growing in the early twenties or so.

After that, it will not age, but will live young.

Even Iris is. Live without age, though not immortality.

It's hard for us to live in a human world like that.

Because not everyone is as obvious as the people in "Village of Fira".

We will live at a distance from the world of men.

So, me and Iris are gonna disappear together in the future.

Naturally. Make it look like an accident. There are several ways to do this.

"Yeah. You guys are gone from people's worlds. So I want to be strong. I want to be able to deliver without Yuki."

Odette declared.

"To protect people from imperial threats (today). At least you can protect my family and Yuki's..."

─ ─ For some reason, it was while turning sideways.

After all, Odette is amazing.

If we were all like Odette, we could still live in people's worlds.

But... Odette has one thing wrong.

"If you're in the empire, I'm going to take care of it."

"... Huh?

Odette is supposed to be.

"Huh... that? But..."

"As far as I'm concerned, I'm not going to disappear without the Empire and the First Priest." First Priest "could have immortality skills, and that's what Iris and Martha need. In the first place, when I died in my last life, I kept my family out of trouble."

I didn't expect the Lyles to run wild with 'Sanctuary Church' hate after my death.

"I am a little more powerful now than I was in my previous life. Some Lyle left me, so you can get to the First Priest. I still don't know what happened after that."

"... you're right."

"I also think this tour of the Territory is just in time to gather information. If it's land near the Empire, some of you may know about the remnants of the First Priest or the Sanctuary Church. It'll help you figure out what to do, won't it?

…………

"In some cases, I'll take action after it's gone, but anyway, Father, Brother Zeros, Loomia, Odette, Rhodelia... anyway, I'm going to take measures to make sure my body doesn't bother the 'Sanctuary Church'. Otherwise, because you can't even go missing all day...... Odette?

"... hey, it's nothing"

"... is your stomach hurting... no, that face... is killing your laughter?

"Stop calmly analyzing...... not at all"

You laughed too much, Odette, soaking tears with your fingers.

"It was. You were like that, weren't you? I forgot... that you were the 'village's'... no, the 'patron saint loved by the villagers'."

"... why did you say it all over again"

"I don't want to. Oh, I see you've finished shopping for Mr. Loomia, haven't you?

Odette was right.

In front of the store, Loomia's waving.

I guess I have... a treat.

Baroness...... He's going to feed everyone in Count territory who wasn't.

Dick is nodding in his bag. There didn't seem to be any particular trouble.

Roomia comes out of the store with a satisfied face.

"Thank you for waiting. Brother Yuki, Master Odette."

"After all, did you make souvenirs a treat?

"Yes, Brother Yuki is right, I chose what the sunshine would do"

"Oh well."

"And then there's my farewell to Brother Zeros... but that's what Brother Yuki chooses, right?

"That's right... this is the hard part. My father said," Zeros is studying territorial management these days, "so I'd like to give you something to help with that."

"Brother Zeros, when it gets warmer, he wants to look around the territory."

Then I thought, "Would you like a horse's saddle?"

"That's pretty expensive..."

"Brother Zeros is serious, so I'd like something useful for the job."

"Roomia bought the snack on the move, didn't she?

"Something that will last a little longer."

"Speaking of which, Brother Zeros has been in the library a lot lately, hasn't he?

"Then I wonder if you'd like a book written about territorial management. But... it's expensive."

Me and Loomia think.

"I have a copy of the book on Territorial Management."

Odette slapped his hand watching it.

"If you don't mind, I'll give it to you. A souvenir for Yuki's brother."

"... that's just too expensive. It is"

"It's okay. Because it's like a note in a book about territorial management that only writes down important places. The children of the Duke's family are told to write it further so that they can remember it. Yuki would know, but the best thing to remember is to write it down."

"You mean there's something Odette wrote down?

"Then there won't be a problem, will there?

"From the book of territorial management, you wrote a note that only matters..."

"Then there won't be a problem, will there?

"... you have a problem"

"What is it?

"If that's what you have, I want it too..."

"Nah, nah. Give it to your brother this time."

Odette laughed.

"I will make Yuki's share again."

"That helps but... okay"

"Instead, maybe, because then you'll do something that you can't give back"

"Okay. Well, I'm looking forward to it."

"Pfft. Thank you."

Jah-uh.

Hmm?

"Brother Yuki and Mr. Odette are close..."

When I realized, Loomia was staring at me and Odette.

"If you belong to the same party in your guild, you can get along regardless of the title (squeamish)...... Loomia, I'm surprised."

"Me and Yuki are friends who keep each other's lives and fight."

Odette crouched down and gazed at Roomia.

"So your brother thinks of me as well. And of course, I will respond to that."

"... Mr. Odette"

"Speaking of which... if Yuki is inside, Mr. Loomia will be my sister, right?

"Really!?

"Yes, because your brother seems to think I'm inside you, too."

That's how Odette looked at me.

"So between us, me and Mr. Loomia, I would like to have a tea party in your quarters from now on"

"Yes. Loomia wants to talk to you about Odette, too!

"Yeah. I don't mind that."

Though I'm concerned that Odette is smiling invincibly.

"Loomia will be back in the Earl's Lands soon. Fine. Let's have a tea party before then."

"Yes, let's talk to Martha and Remy about Yuki."

"Agreed!

"There was a lot going on before, and I couldn't talk to you enough..."

I wonder if you mean when Roomia stayed at Odette's.

Because they did take up time at that time with the processing of the blackheads and stuff.

"So until this evening, let's talk together"

"Yes, Odette."

"Of course, Yuki's going to be there, right?

Odette snorted and proclaimed:

"This is an exchange of information before you go on a territorial tour. Think about you… make sure you know what your body thinks. Hey, Yuki."
