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~
Episode 121: Former Demon King, Rescue Wounded Soldiers
─ ─ Yuki viewpoint ─
"─ I didn't think Black King (Lord of) Riding (Noir) would have the ability to talk to a remote opponent."
When I send a message in my head, Odette returns the word 'I agree'.
I don't know anything about King's Ride yet...
... Sounds like it might be hard to research, but that's only after you settle down.
Now is not the time.
I'm on my way to town carrying an injured man.
"... ugh, ugh"
In the arms of "Black King's Ride," a soldier man brought groans.
"Please hold on. I'll be in town soon."
My arm and leg are broken. That hurts.
I gave you first aid, but you'd better get into town and get some proper treatment.
What I have is a messenger sent by Mr. Roszo-Burns.
This man was supposed to be a day ahead of me and headed to pass on information to Wang Du.
I found this guy about an hour ago.
In the middle of the meadow, he rescued where he was falling and groaning in the depths.
I put together "Black King's Ride" and was on my way to King's Capital.
I was trying to get as close as I could, avoiding the streets, flying over the meadows.
Then I found a horse with a saddle wandering in the middle of the meadow.
When I approached him concerned, the horse took me to this man.
I took off "Black King's Ride" and went back to mage style and made allowance for this guy.
The conductor fainted quickly, but he entrusted me with information before.
That I was attacked by a dozen cavalry men.
That there was a knight in it with a terribly fast moving, platinum armor.
That they were talking about their plans to unleash demons within the kingdom and about their aspirations for the King's capital's 'Elusion' - that's all.
They were talking about their plans after they lost sight of the conductor.
But the conductor was hiding in the meadows after he was wounded. So I managed to get some information. I was trying to tell the King's Capital that.
"So, that's where I went through."
─ ─ I told Odette what had happened so far.
'But it would have been just fine if Old Zamel had been with me. I was wondering if you could pass on this information.'
I didn't think Odette was in the activation experiment for "King of Spirits (Lord = of =) Riding (Phantom)," but with "The Zamelites," it's a quick story.
That's Odette. Don't count on me.
"The ones who attacked the conductors headed to the king's capital. They were talking about a plan to unleash demons within the kingdom. Maybe I'll do it near the King's Capital '
'Wow, I get it. But there's one problem with telling "Old Zamel."
"Problem?"
'I can't say I spoke to Yuki through "King's Ride". If they ask me how I found out about this information, how do I answer it?
... Indeed.
Old Zamel doesn't know that people who put together "King's Ride" can talk to each other.
In the first place, the fact that I have Black King's Ride is a secret in itself.
'Well, let's just say my user-demon bat sent me a document. I guess I should just accidentally burn the documents. "
"Where do you prepare that bat?
'Take Dick with you. You should be at Martha's. "
'Sure. Old Zamel hasn't met Mr. Dick.'
'I mean, I think it's about me and Iris who can tell the difference between bats.'
'Huh?'
"Is Odette also now able to tell the face of the bat? Awesome...... '
Normal humans can't tell each bat apart.
Even in "Village of Fira" in previous life, about half of the villagers were named bats when they saw their faces, only Alice and her parents, Lyle and Remilia, were hit 100 percent.
'Well, that's because of your "magic blood"! That's why we can talk even if we leave. That effect made it possible to distinguish the bats. It is so decided!!
"Oh well. Then let me study it one of these days. '
'I refuse! What do you think of maidens? Besides, now would not be the time!?
Yes, it was.
Soon, you'll see the walls of the town.
We have to get off the ground and take off the Black King's Ride before the soldiers on the lookout can see us.
The conductor's horse... is behind, but he's following me properly.
That's Mr. Roszo-Burns' squad horse, you're brilliant.
Let's put a conductor on that horse and go into town.
"We'll be in town in a little while. Good luck."
"..."
The conductor keeps his eyes closed. After all, he's still unconscious.
Hopefully I'll wake up when I get into town......
"Odette, I'll be in town soon. Let's get this over with. Thank you for contacting Old Zamel.
'I get it. And I'm going to ask Old Zamel to do the "King of Spirits (Lord of =) Riding (Phantom)" activation experiment tomorrow. That way, we can also talk through "Spirit King's Ride."
"Thank you, Odette"
'I don't want to thank you. Don't be impotent.'
There was a little while until Odette answered.
'Cause when it comes to your family and your buddies, you're instantly impotent.'
'Really?
'Yes! But we are not just protected in this age. Iris has power as a princess, and I have witchcraft. Thanks to you, the "Spirit King Ride" is now available as well. So rely more'
For some reason, I felt like I could see Odette's face laughing.
"I am not your villager, but I can count on you, my friend... because I am"
"Thank you. Me too, I'm glad to see Odette again in this day and age"
─ ─ Yes, no. That's about it for the conversation, as it seems like it's time for old Zamel to split. Bye. '
That said, Odette's words broke.
I'll take care of Wang Du. It looks fine.
No... I'll take care of it. I'll clean up this case as much as I can.
There's Odette and Martha and Remy over there.
"... but before I do... I have to take a break too"
I still have the magic, but I'm tired.
This body is only thirteen, so sometimes, if you don't put in a break, you can't move.
I fought near the border and then slept overnight... but I'm here without a break.
When I get to town, I'll tell the guards what's going on, take care of the conductor, and then I'll just rest a little.
And then...
"Guys, can I take care of the information-gathering?
I called out to the Bat Corps on the back of "Black King's Ride".
"It's my home -! '' Leave it to me -! '' I'll find you a way -!
I get a voice back that looks fine.
From the border to this point, to keep my strength warm, I asked the Bat Corps to stick to the back of The Black King's Ride. Let's have everyone scout the area while I get some rest.
"I'll give you my 'Magic Blood' when I get into the inn. That should strengthen you, too. However, finding enemies must keep you away from them. I don't like you guys getting hurt, and neither do I. I'm worried about Iris and Odette."
"'' It's Ourselves -!!
We talked about it, and we were going to town.
