Inhale briefly to calm yourself down and ask.

"... Duke of Automateria, what are you talking about? Don't listen to me like I made a manuferno."

When the Duke stood up, he pinched the table, facing me and Ergonote. It is the Duke who has the door to the entrance and exit of the conference room nearer.

"So, Mr. Grecas, this is the woman you're anonymous with. You must have some special magic to rot the object, right? Abominable dirty magic user. His name is... yes, Ms Manuferno"

"Nah... to...!

Gutter, and distorted vision. To be honest, I got dizzy.

Are you saying that Manuferno is an artificial life form (homunculus) made by the man in front of you? Stupid. Impossible.

But now, I will focus all my efforts on curbing the urge to turn the man in front of me.

In response to the heightened emotions, all the magic I was suppressing seems to overflow. Biggie! and the wartime gimmick on the cloak of the sage was activated, but it was fixed with hardware, so I couldn't help but move.

If the cape feels an increase in magic, it automatically expands and becomes a magic armor that prevents physical attacks. It is now an excessive piece of equipment.

- Artificial life form (homunculus). And disclose the secret (...) that houses the soul (...).

- Hand over the manuferno with the magic of decay.

For once now, I will rebut the words spoken by the Duke, neither of which leaves even a single thought.

Out of the question. Unstoppable refusal.

"The hero of the Demon King's War, the healing monk Manuferno? I was just surprised when I saw you and the six heroes have a proper name for each other. The woman who killed the inhabitants of the experimental settlement and ran away... one of the heroes? This is a masterpiece...! Unique to a country full of second-rate (...) and fake (...)"

The dry northerly wind-like sound of Huhaha! was a laugh leaking out of the Duke's mouth.

"... Ki"

If it was me before, at this point, I'd be like, "You!" He was definitely attacking me screaming.

But not now. Being a wise man in the kingdom, the family living happily in the hall brings to mind and restrains itself.

It was Ergonote who opened his mouth instead. With a clever voice, I protest from my position as a prince.

"If we are to insult our country, we will return all previous negotiations to blank paper. You and I are more than diplomatic envoys. You can go home with your bare hands?

"... this has been disrespectful. Something I did. It's a bad habit to get excited when it comes to exploring magic."

A deliberately playful face, the Duke giving a toast to me and Ergonote.

"And I won't allow you to insult my friends. Even out of position...... makes me want to punch you"

"Stop it, Ergonote!

His voice barely keeps him calm, but Ergonote inflates his pectoral and brachial muscles tremendously, squeezing his bush hard. I can still jump like this.

But here Ergonote forgets his status as a son-in-law prince, and even if it's a riot, things suck. Whatever the reason, it would be a disrespectful, international issue for the prince to beat up the diplomatic envoy in the conference room.

It is extremely difficult to explain, including the reasons for the exaggeration and the history.

- No, is that what they're after?

I know I can't be in a better position. But why provoke it? Didn't this man come "to stop the war"?

"Prince Ergonote (...). This place... is up to me"

Apply hands to the thick breastplate of the ergonote so that it is pressed and fastened.

"Grecas......?

This is a good place to play and behave as a deterrent to rough princes. They're trying us.

"Sage Grecas...... what are you going to do!?

Fairy Metius held my hair and ears and whispered quickly, sure.

"It's okay, I'm staying sane"

So far, though.

I almost lost my chill for a moment in a filthy attack on Manuferno.

But step back and think.

Bite down the Duke's demands and contents. And when I saw the beautiful secretary of the artificial life form (Homunculus) standing in front of me, I came to a conclusion.

"... Duke, that you made it in the first place, that woman over there. You said that artificial life forms (homunculus) have no souls, no emotions, right?

"Even so. What's that?

"Far from what I know of her. It's a good place to talk absurdly."

It is well known that Manuferno resides in the power of Decay Magic (Pedos). But she is emotional and thoughtful and loves me more than anyone else. All warmth and kindness, unquestionably human.

In other words, artificial life forms (homunculus) do not refuse.

"Oh... did you notice the boulder? I'm surprised you have the distinction to give so much information and still be able to think calmly even if you confuse it. Even when you're around, you only have to name 'Sage'. Has the assumption fallen off that there will be blood on your head..."

Let your hands hilary for just a moment and lift your eyebrows unfortunately. Taunting me is still through here. I'll beat him up where he wants to be.

"... I don't care about me. I'm talking about Manuferno."

"Khufu...... I apologize for any misunderstandings....... Mr. Grecas. Manuferno Noluado is a remote part of our clan. It's a bloody, clean person (...)"

Someone I don't trust, but it doesn't seem like a lie. I am horrified by the word human in the depths of my heart.

But now the Duke's words stab him in the chest like a toge.

"If Manuferno... is remote from the Duke's house in Richtalia, is that what they say?"

"Dear Sir, My Nollard family is a blood muscle that manipulates the ancient magic that lasts for hundreds of years. From time to time... special magic people are born."

"Decaying Magic (Pedos)... but"

"The magic name is a wedge (a wedge) to anchor power to this world. Either way, I've lived with magic that's too dangerous to handle since I was born. That's why I can't leave it in the Mansion of the King's Capital. It was locked away in a secluded settlement. I'll look into it later. But you got away with it when you got thin in the demon wars mess, didn't you?"

The second half of the explanation that has appeared in the Duke's story coincides with the episode of "My first encounter with Manuferno" that Ergonote previously taught me.

I looked at the ergonote to make sure.

"... the village, lost on the journey, had already been wiped out. All the inhabitants were black, rotten and out of breath. The only survivor in the village was her (Manuferno), who was locked away."

Lentomia then managed to suppress the special magic overflowing from the manuferno with sealed magic, he said.

Even as we began to travel together, Manuferno in the beginning closed his mind as if he had been in a strong shock, with a dark look, and he didn't speak very well.

Eventually I found out that the magic of healing could be used, and while everyone relied on me to admit it, Manuferno changed...... it is my knowing past.

After I join a line of ergonomics.

"Her magic is really rare. It goes through the ancient magic of life and death. I wanted more research, so I want it back, is that all?

"Don't put it mildly. Never give it to me."

"Oh. Are you obsessed? So, you want me to at least show you the red-haired homunculus. Your redhead (...) homunculus! That was really emotional. So I want to carefully examine the pain, the structure of the body, and get to the mystery of why I live in my soul... this one would be good, right?

Start walking with the cuttlefish and grab the hat that was hanging on the wall. After that, the female secretary Homunculus follows silently.

"Don't talk to me again. There are limits to patience."

"This is... greedy"

- Again, this man knows who Pram is.

There is no way that a dragon man (Dragon Man) could have been born in a natural state. It is therefore impossible to conclude that the pram is a magically synthesized artificial life form (homunculus).

Nevertheless, the Duke of Automateria has already passed through the magic of mystery, creating a bloody artificial life form (homunculus).

…………

Is the beautiful secretary just a "human golem" with no words and no soul or emotion? Even so, there is no doubt that he has considerable knowledge of magic. The Duke says he has not been able to accommodate his soul.

Is there any difference in the process or material?

Plum laughs and dances well. The light that dwells in your eyes is certainly no different than a real human being.

When I first created it, I read dozens of ancient magic books in search magic (Gogol) and created them while mimicking the magic knowledge and procedures I had gained there.

Something there...... is there a secret?

"If you don't mind, would you like to explore old wisdom with us? My secret society (Zortaxzaian) welcomes wise people at all times."

The Duke of Automatéria Norard wore a silk hat when gracefully thanked.

Apparently, he intends to disperse, but he did not withdraw his request for the handover of Manuferno's body pattern and the manufacturing secret of artificial life forms (homunculus).

"Oops, I forgot something important. I'm... moderate (...), right? That's why I offered you a souvenir to negotiate."

Paste an unfortunate look on your face. It's more like a play. Looks like a man who can't make a natural look.

"Negotiate…? This is it."

It's already broken.

Not at all out of the question. Give me the manuferno. But give me the Pram's secret. It's not a joke.

"The purpose of our secret society (Zortaxzaian) is to revive and gain the wisdom of Tai Ancient times. I came with kindness, but it was a waste of my legs."

"It's time to pick it up"

The butler opened the door from the outside as Ergonote rang his pussy and fingertips.

"Yes, welcome home!

Metius whispers his bei and tongue out from the side of my collar.

"I thought you could understand Grecas. At least I think I can talk to you better than the hard-liners (...). Well, I'll see you then."

"... I hope so"

I'll send out the Duke with a formal thank you, too.

and then.

Bashin! And something hit the conference room window. Something black, like a bird.

- What?

Sage Grecas, it's a magic reaction.

Fairy Metisu screams. The castle is stretched with defensive junctions, and most of the magic and demons should not be allowed into it.

"Ergonote, back off"

I stood in front of Ergonote. It's obviously something magical.

I wondered if that came all the way in through the gap in the glass window, and I immediately reshaped and stretched out my bat-like wings.

And Patata and the wings passed by me and Ergonote, flying to the Duke of Automatéria Norard, who was hanging out in the hallway, and to the beautiful secretary.

"Duke which is......!?

"Don't worry, it's my 'demon of use'"

The bat spins or becomes like a little devil with wings on his back. It was a fairy with green hair, bat feathers on blue and white skin.

"Well! Fairy......!?

"-Kita! Kita! Kita!

"Apparently, the hardliners... have set it up"

"What the...!?
