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~

─ ─ Odette viewpoint ─

When the battle was over and the Odettes returned to the king's capital...

"No, Your Highness Cain is on a border patrol, in the southern border zone. The Count with territory to the south, himself and the soldiers and magicians are witnesses."

"─ What?

─ ─ A messenger sent by Prince Cain to the King's capital, and he turned to him.

The messenger was DeMetel, a C-class sorcerer.

Old Zamel, who saw DeMetel, snorted, "Prince Cain was the user of the Black King's Ride?," he asked.

Later, Old Zamel and his fellow magicians explained the incident and the 'Black King's Ride'.

Then DeMetel lightly

"I will testify in my honor as a magician. Your Highness Cain is on the southern border."

I proclaimed.

For a while, there was silence.

Old Zamel and the other magicians kept their mouths open, pompous.

He looked like his soul had fallen out.

DeMetel, a C-class sorcerer who saw it,

"In the first place, how can you carry 'King's Ride (Road)' from the border to near King's Capital? Huh? Fly away?

Um... you also know that "King's Ride" eats magic fools, right? Impossible. Neither His Highness Cain nor himself can.

Ha, Zamel and the others were helped by the black 'King's Ride'... I talked to him. So, what did he say? 'I'm not Prince Cain,' he said... then it must be someone else?

The old Zamels had no choice but to nod to her unsolicited words.

"... did. But... I can handle all that stuff..."

"That was the first confirmed 'Torrias territory' to the north, wasn't it? At that time, His Highness Cain was at the Royal Palace. I was with myself. I think we have a record, too."

"Ah..."

"Zamel, calm down, all of you."

Class C magician DeMetel sighed.

"Zamel, you've been doing research lately, and you don't have any combat experience in the dungeons, do you? Could it be that I saw the battles between 'King's Ride (Road)' right around the corner and my feelings were all over me? Though it's called 'getting high' in the language of the town. So, didn't you make some weird assumptions?

"... ugh, ugh"

"So they talked to the owner of the black 'King's Ride', right? Did you get any testimony from him? Huh... I assumed it was His Royal Highness Cain, so I dropped him off straight away............ ha"

(... well, you will)

Odette was smiling bitterly and staring at the interaction.

Old Zamel and the sorcerers are dropping their shoulders disappointingly.

DeMetel, a Class C magician, looks up at the sky as if it were clear.

Yuki ended up not pretending to be Prince Cain. I don't have a problem with old Zamel making a mistake on his own, but he said, "It's not Cain."

He took Odette's advice properly.

I think that's very preferable.

But the old Zamels, who got high in battle, assumed the Lord of 'King's Ride' to be Cain.

I thought, "Prince Cain should be able to listen at any time," and I dropped off "Black King's Ride," and walked away. Besides, he even waved.

And now, at DeMetel's point, the old Zamel and the sorcerers, realizing their mistakes, are trembling in despair.

"The Black King Ride" is an ally of the kingdom and a powerful being.

I missed the opportunity to find out who it was.

I feel sorry for Odette, too, about the old Zamels sitting back and holding their heads.

But unexpectedly, I'm about to have a reassuring grin.

Because of Old Zamel's mistake, Yuki's identity could not be disproved.

"Sounds like you had a rough time, too. Odet-Sray."

A while later, DeMetel, a C-class magician, came before Odette.

"The experiment of" King of Spirits (Lord = of =) Ride (Phantom) "and the replica Lord in action against him. Even though the damage was done, you eventually repelled the enemy. Be proud."

"Yes, Mr. DeMetel."

There are others who should be truly proud - Odette swallowed the words that came out to his throat.

The truth is, I want to be proud of him, my dear friend.

There are other people who are more amazing than me, and that person wants to brag that they have been protecting people for 200 years and are still admired by people - even now.

But I can't do that. Yuki doesn't want that either.

(Will one day, don't worry, the time come to talk about Yuki)

I'm sure that's a much more futuristic story.

It must have been around the time when the Sanctuary Church really disappeared and the Empire threat disappeared.

By then, Yuki and Iris, even Martha, may have disappeared from the world of men.

The 'Grail Chamber of Commerce' Rhodelia... will probably sneak in touch with them.

Remy, of course, follows.

The Bat Corps is with us. I guess they work as liaisons with people's worlds.

(... where am I, then...)

Odette doesn't know.

I felt like I could figure it out, but I was afraid I'd admit it.

A position as a magician that has always been admired.

Status as a maid of the Duke's house.

As a girl living in this world, relationships.

Throw them all out and see if you can keep up with them.

(... Scary, isn't it)

What is it?

Throwing away relationships in people's worlds, which I've been following?

Or... being left behind by your loved ones?

(I don't know. I still can't decide...)

So Odette is relieved that Yuki could not be identified.

I can still be with that guy, in this world. Because I found that out.

Well... I'm a little upset that the Lord of "Black King (Lord of =) Riding (Noir)" was mistaken for Prince Cain. It was her Yuki who defended Odette and won the Holy King's Ride completely.

I want to tell someone about it. I want to brag.

I can't do that... it was so bad.

"Demetel-Springual-Sama"

So Odette decided to tell another story.

"I apologize for hurting the 'King of Spirits Ride'. That was DeMetel's first launch experiment, King's Ride."

"I don't care. Because I couldn't handle it."

DeMetel looked away and said so.

"Rather, I am terrified that you could have fought with that. Let me keep a proper record of that achievement. Undoubtedly, Old Zamel and His Royal Highness Cain would recommend me as a Class D sorcerer. Get your mind ready."

"Thank you. Mr. DeMetel."

"... you still look like a big guy"

"Huh?"

"When I found out I could be a Class D magician, I was happy to jump up. Yet you are very calm. You're different from someone who's capable."

"No, please don't. Mr. DeMetel."

Really, I want you to stop.

I don't want you to notice the thoughts I was trying not to notice.

Even if I knew I could be a Class D magician, if I knew my heart wouldn't move at all...

I realize that I can abandon that status at any time.

Because she really knows the path she wants herself to take.

(... Not yet, that's fine)

Odette snapped in his heart and took a deep breath.

Again, turn to Class C Sorcerer DeMetel.

"I was wondering if you could come in my shoes..."

"What is it?

"This time, what will happen to those who broke into the country on Replica Road and the Fourth Empress of the Empire?

"Have they already been held captive by soldiers of the kingdom?

"It's... it is"

After the battle, the old Zamels launched a sorcery to call and gather soldiers.

The soldiers immediately came and detained (conjured) the enemy soldiers who had put together the replica Lord and the fourth empress of the Empire, Nylara-Gaiul. They were bound their hands and feet so that magic could not be used, and with monkeys wrapped around their mouths, they were transported to the king's capital.

The rest will be for the kingdom to decide what to do with them.

From here on out, it's not that Odette can intervene.

But even for Yuki and Iris, I wanted to get some information.

"I don't even know. But from what I've heard, the princess answers questions honestly."

"... Sounds like it"

"It's a strange thing. Those who do not know fear enough to break into another country - and if they are royalty, it is not strange to harm themselves immediately after they are captured. But the Empress of the Empire looks frightened and answers every question. I listened to myself."

Class C magician DeMetel curiously beheaded.

"As His Royal Highness Cain's messenger, when I came to see how Wang Capital was doing, it was suddenly a big incident. Damn, I've never been a C-level magician in so many years."

"How do you feel, I guess?"

"Besides, it's the first time I've had so many good rookies."

"DeMetel?

"Your generation could eventually change the 'Sorcery Guild'. As much as I'm proud of myself. The interest of His Royal Highness Cain is right for you... have you spoken too much?"

"Yes, no. DeMetel, it's good to talk to you."

"It was a pleasure talking to an excellent junior myself."

Odette and DeMetel nodded.

So, the conversation is over.

DeMetel will now head to the Royal Palace for a report, in the name of Prince Cain.

Apparently, the "Magic Guild" just stopped by before that.

So I said to Old Zamel, "DeMetel which! His Royal Highness Cain kept his' King's Ride 'confidential!" - And he got stuck and ate his foothold. Though he and his companions seemed to be reflecting.

"Now, excuse me for this."

Demetel greeted Old Zamel before walking out towards the royal palace.

"Master Zamel. Is there anything I can do?

"... No, Miss Slay... you've worked hard enough."

Old Zamel was powerless and shook his neck to the side.

"The Spirit King Ride" was put in a carriage and brought to the guild.

It should be in the Guild's warehouse by now.

Same goes for Replica Road and the remains of the Holy King's Ride. In the way Old Zamel looks at it, it will be after tomorrow to do the investigation. Most likely, Odette will never participate in it. They might ask for your opinion, but that's another story.

I mean, Odette's work is over.

"Okay. We will submit a report on this battle later."

"Lady of the Slay family."

"Yes. Zamel."

"... Your Lord is strong."

Old Zamel snapped like he was impressed.

"I may have forgotten the calm of the battle. But the Lord calmly manipulated the 'Spirit King's Ride' to the end, repelling the enemy. I'm still calm now that the fight is over. Damn, your Lord is a big deal."

"No, please don't"

"To the Zamelites."

"I'm sorry. Again, I refuse."

Odette stepped back a few steps, then bowed his head deeply.

"I'd rather serve, because I'm already here. I'm not leaving that side, at least while I'm in the Sorcery Alliance."

That said, Odette left the scene.

Then, a few dozen minutes later.

"May I interrupt? Mr. Martha. Mr. Remy."

"Welcome, Odette!

Odette.

When Odette visited Yuki's quarters, the maid clothes Martha and Remy greeted her.

I noticed the smell of baked confectionery from the kitchen.

"Maybe... Yuki came this way before he went back to the border?

"No. Actually, I've been expecting you, Odette."

"I was in town -"

"Me?

"Yes. The bats have arrived, so I know Yuki is safe... but until the details of the incident, I don't know..."

Odette noticed Martha's hands shaking faintly.

She must have been worried about Yuki, too.

Yuki is using the bats to write to Martha seriously.

Martha also believes in Yuki with all her spirits.

But it's a different matter of worrying or not.

A loved one is fighting where he doesn't know. Odette knows exactly how disturbing that is now.

"So... I was wondering if Odette would come and prepare some tea and sweets."

"I was."

"Oh, that's a coincidence. I just wanted to get you some tea and sweets."

Odette laughed and let Martha and Remy try to close one eye.

"Then I'll tell you everything about the case. During the battle, I talked to Yuki a lot over King's Ride. Martha and Remy will share their details."

"... is that okay? Odette."

"I couldn't help but tell someone."

I just wanted to brag to someone about Yuki.

In the old Zamel opponent, I couldn't do that.

But if Martha or Remy are dealing with you, you don't have to hesitate.

How Yuki rushed me.

How strong Yuki was.

The fact that Yuki never retreated to an exotic princess opponent, and eventually pushed the opponent to complete defeat. Yeah, well, that guy said "to protect the King's Capital where Martha and Remy are" about the reason to fight. I need to tell you that, too.

Martha and Remy will definitely be very welcome.

Imagine that, flutter, and Odette's chest gets warmer.

Very calm.

It's as if this is where you are.

"Well, that's a long story, isn't it? Are you both ready?

"Yes, thank you. Odette."

"Thank you, Odette!

Odette, drawn to Martha and Remy, went to the dining room in her quarters.

So the three of us had tea, and we started talking about this incident.

It wasn't the right place for a cup of tea. It was about the fight.

"Honestly, if you're yuki, all of a sudden you're talking beyond distance. Surprised."

"Dear Odette... Nice"

"I want to talk to you too, Remy!

"Well, that's not good. So, if it's yucky..."

Very calm… and the Odettes had a very sweet time.
