The Demon King Seems to Conquer the World

A week later at 4: 50pm.

I had finished work early to meet Lily and arrived in the lobby of the best hotel in Sibyak.

I managed to get it on long enough before the rendezvous.

I am lucky enough to book a special room, so I will manage to have Mr. Lily.

You'd be so nervous, I'd have to soothe you at dinner first.

Thanks to the disguise, I haven't managed to find out who I am.

Looking around the lobby, it seems Mr. Lily hasn't arrived.

Once I looked around without a neighborhood and made sure I hadn't really arrived, I sat on the right couch with the entrance in my sight.

Then a little bit, it was 5: 00.

It was time for the rendezvous, but Mr. Lily didn't come.

Well, maybe it takes a lot of work choosing makeup and clothes, or the road is crowded.

Let's wait a little longer.

At 5: 30, I was getting worried about Mr. Lily on the boulder.

If you've changed your mind... well, that's okay because it's what I told you, but if you're in any trouble, it's tough.

I can't go wrong, so I asked the front desk of the hotel for a message to Lily Amian under the pseudonym I used, and decided to go to Lily's residence.

When I went to Mr. Lily's residence in Kakedri, things were different from a week ago, and there was no one at the entrance.

Is it a house with no guards at night?

I've never heard of a house that keeps guards but not at night, although I'm only in business hours to watch out for the bar.

Thieves are easier to get in at night. Human beings can defend themselves if they're awake, and they can escape, but there's nothing they can do when they're asleep, so security is more important at night than day one way or another.

However, since Lily is a newcomer who has only recently become rich, it is also possible that she has left a hole that is neglected by the circumstances around her.

I don't know if you're too worried about me so much that I didn't come to meet you, but a week ago, it was the way I felt like rain or spear but definitely coming.

It's not just a date, and if you were going to come, that would be what you came to feel like going to your own wedding.

And yet it didn't come. In addition to this, the condition of the home is somewhat suspicious. After all, you better make sure.

I got lost for a moment, then turned the lever on the iron gate, and when I pressed the door, it opened lightly as I let the wheel be called karakara.

It's not locked. I'll try to get inside the gate.

When I approached the mansion in the dark, there was no light leaking from anywhere.

Lighting that relies on wax and oil fires is dark from the beginning, but it leaks a little. It's odd that it's assimilated to a night in the background at all.

The unpleasant feeling intensifies.

If there was a thug inside, it would be kotto, so I approached him while killing the sound, but there was no sound at all from inside.

Exactly. If the theft was looking for a home inside, it wouldn't mean there wouldn't be any noise so far.

In these circumstances, the ambush is horrible. No matter how careful you are, if you get suddenly popped out of the shadow at the entrance of a few rooms and stabbed in the stomach, it's over. The human body is not able to confirm the right and left in an instant, so there is a limit to its response to the ambush of the hand.

Would it be better to leave once and call for backup and see what the situation is? The idea came to pass, but I wondered what I would do if Mr. Lily was in a critical situation, and I stopped doing that.

After a few thoughts, I opened one of the windows on the ground floor beforehand, then the front door wide open.

"Lily!? Are you there?

I'll call it out loud, but it never meant that the maid leaving a message would show up with a lamp.

At the very least, the original residents of the house are absent or placed in a situation where they cannot reply.

"Excuse me!

I said it on the front door, and then I broke in without a sound from the window that I had left open in advance.

Pull out the knife, pull yourself back and check inside, but it's completely silent and there's no sign of a person.

Hmm...... as things stand, it just really seems like a home away from home.

We'll check the rooms one after the other, but without an ambush, no one was there.

The inside of the room hasn't been vandalized either. Only people are disappearing as if they were in hiding God.

After going around all the rooms that were the Lord, I checked the small rooms. Lily's bedroom and the living room that she thought the middlewoman was using also opened, but there was no one inside.

I checked the toilet, kitchen and bathroom, and plugged it into the door of a room like a storeroom, and I finally felt a slight anomaly.

I feel a faint smell that I am used to smelling.

――――

My spine got soggy. It stinks of blood at Mr. Lily's house. That made me imagine horribly.

When I opened the store, it overflowed with a slightly thick smell of blood.

The storeroom without the windows does not plug in the light of the moon at all, and I do not see who the corpse is lying in the dark. But surely people are dying here.

I went to the front door and tried to light the light with a lighter on the provided lamp. My hands didn't move well, I trembled and even took the time to open the lighter lid.

When I took ten times the usual time to light the fire, I transferred the fire to the lamp to make sure.

Watch the body rolling in the storeroom.

There was no sign of Lily.

Kick one over two folding bodies and make sure it's down there. Sure, there were only two bodies. There are no three.

Mr. Lily is not here.

If you look closely, he was the guardian youth you saw yesterday. The body that kicked her is a woman.

The insane seemingly impatient feeling that was swirling in my head fades away. For one thing, Mr. Lily is not dead.

What the hell is going on? and thought about it for about ten seconds and decided to report it for now.

Immediately, Myalo rushed in with a number of humans and came in through a kannon-opening gate that had been left open on both sides.

"Yuri, Lily was kidnapped."

"What about the interrogation?

"I've arranged it. In the meantime, you can't leave the main road of Wang Du. But..."

"Right."

At times like this, open cities where the city is not surrounded by walls are inconvenient.

It would not be so difficult to escape in the shadows of the night where the inquisition was laid on some of the particular avenues.

"... so why are you here"

Behind Myalo, for some reason, was Enrique the King's Sword.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa."

I was waving like I was kidding.

I was just kidding. I wanted to stick it down, but this guy is a pervert who would rejoice the other way if he was furious, so I couldn't beat the end of it. It's very hard to do when you're there.

"Because Mr. Tileto is traveling nearby. The other one is calling. You'd better have the king's sword in the investigation."

"Well, fine. Anyway, come on."

It won't start until you get a look at the body, either on the raven or on the corner.

but there,

"Yuri, here, here"

and Enrique is pointing to the ground at the gate.

"What? I'm busy."

"Enrique, I just found you. If you're not familiar with assassinations, you don't understand these things."

Enrique rubbed the fine gravel on his feet while illuminating the ground with pine light.

The sand that covered the surface peeled off and a slightly blackened wet stain appeared.

"Looks like they killed one here. Is that Mr. Gatekeeper? Looking at the soil..."

Enrique walked away from the gate along the wall illuminating the ground. Are you checking your footprints?

"Looks like I did a sack from behind after all. Okay, here's the question. Enrique has just discovered some serious tips. What is that?"

"Not if you're asking questions. Just talk."

Though at night, considering the immediate discovery of the blood trail I had missed, it could be a truly serious discovery.

"Off. I won't talk."

Talk to me.

"This is a rare chance. ♪ I'll never talk to you. Pfft."

Enrique looked at him like he was cute.

Ahhhhhh!

I'm in a hurry!!!!!

I grabbed Enrique's neck and slammed him on the doorstep.

"D Not if you're dating a pervert!! Talk now!!!

He yelled out loud and then tightened his carotid artery in tight and tight.

After tightening for a while, letting it go on the verge of falling, Enrique collapsed on the spot and coughed up a couple of times with Kehokejo.

"Just get up. You're not so tight."

When I said that, Enrique stood up as he deposited his body in the pillar.

"Ahhh... keho... tallest"

Honestly, this idiot's opponent gets tired.

"So, what is it? You're not supposed to be crushing your throat. Next time you're kidding, I'll kill you for real."

"On the contrary, I'm glad to hear that."

Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!

"Look, as the dumbest woman in the world can tell, I'll explain it carefully. I'm in a hurry. Talk fast."

"I get it. Ooh. Well, if you look at a corpse, you'll see, quite simply, it's professional work."

"In what way?"

"Yuri will, too, but when you kill from behind, you aim for your neck, right? That's the easiest thing, and I can't help but fail. But I bleed when I stabbed him in the neck. Pew."

Well, I guess so.

"If you dirty a spot you can see from a path like this with a blood splash, there will be noise, so you're right that you didn't stab me in the neck. So, look, there's blood all over the place, right? But it's just a little bit like being killed."

Indeed, the blood build-up hidden in the sand that Enrique is illuminating with pine lights is not so great. About thirty centimeters in diameter?

"Even if I stabbed him in the torso from the back, if I stabbed him more than twice, he would bleed more. When you look at the dirt, it's not raging, and there's no blood scattered, so it means you're dead."

I see. I see what Enrique is trying to say.

"So you stabbed the immediate-death steeple precisely, and the blade remained stabbed and plugged. If you look at the body, you'll see, but it must have been the heart you were after. Pushing the heart out of the back is very difficult because there are bones in the lungs and the position is reversed. I don't think there's that kind of skill in thieves and people around here, so it's professional work."

And Enrique closed. Very unexpectedly, it's an accurate analysis. There's nothing that seems wrong with me.

That's the King's sword. Do you mean the cake is a cake shop?

"Well done. All right, let's get inside the house and look for clues."

"Uh-huh."

With a joke reply, Enrique followed.

Myalo stopped by,

"Sa, is that the rumored play you just made...? It's kind of very intense..."

And I said something like an asshole moved.
