The picturesque rice cakes are delicious today

Two years ago, the resurrection of the Demon King was predicted, so the King moves to avoid producing heroes.

... I don't know. In the first place, I can't help it because I don't really understand the Brave and the Demon King.

But maybe two years ago, about six months before I came to this world. The seasons have gone round since I came to this world, and now it's autumn... yeah. Maybe less than six months before I came.

"Eh, the demon king really comes out!

And Faye reacts there. Then, did Princess Large know that she was coming? Uh, yeah. Mr. Marpink, it's just... Ah, but I don't know much about it. Even when Marpink told me that, there was no demon king.

"If you know, it's a quick story. Exactly, in the land of the Demon King's seal, the power of the seal was found to be weak... no matter how I scratch my feet, the Demon King will be resurrected from afar, as the magicians of the castle said."

Seal... I can't imagine. I wonder what kind of condition it is. Do you think it is like vacuum pack or frozen storage? If you do it like science fiction, it's cold sleep, but I don't think that kind of technology is available in this world.

Each of us had a lot to think about, but for now, Princess Large continued.

"You would have chosen a hero, given him a sword and other powerful equipment, and ordered him to crush and seal the Demon King before he could be resurrected. A brave man is one who possesses a strong nature of light. It is said that wearing the sword of a brave man will maximize his abilities and make it easier to defeat a Demon King opponent, even if it is shortly after resurrection."

Is that what it is? It's kind of like some kind of ritual.

... when I was thinking about that, Princess Large kept clouding her expression.

"... but my father didn't want to do that. My father didn't want to be a brave man."

"Don't you want to be a brave man...?

"Yes, my father wanted to stop the birth of The Brave."

I don't know. I don't know what it is. Uh, maybe the King doesn't want to beat the Devil King, huh?

... while I was thinking a lot, Claire and Faye looked a little familiar. Does that mean you're talking about nobility and relationships?

"In the first place, we royalists are the ones who draw the blood of the brave. The royal family was born as a result of the brave man's prestige as a power.... the mural in the castle hall is the story of the first king, the brave man of the time."

"I can see that. It was a wonderful mural."

They convince me. Yes. Was that magnificent mural about the first king?... I thought it made sense, it was very beautiful. It's meant to show royal authority, so naturally, you paint beautifully. I want to thank you for all the wonderful paintings that I have left.

"... history has plenty of potential to repeat itself. If the next brave man is born, the next king may be that man."

But when I heard Princess Large say that... I finally understood.

Why doesn't the king want to have a fight with a brave man?

That's because that brave man could take away his crown.

Once upon a time, the royal family took power.

"That's why my father is looking for a way to defeat the Demon King without a hero.... foolishly."

That's what Princess Large said and sighed deeply.

"We're trying to take the risk of not having to take much for fear of being threatened.... even though it was myself who built this fragile position that was threatened by the brave."

After all, Princess Large looks a little disgusted and says so, so I feel a little surprised. I wonder if you have such a look on your face.

"... is it possible that the King wanted a Red Dragon because he wanted to defeat the Devil without a hero?

As soon as I asked, Princess Large nodded deeply.

"Yes, that's right. My father began to ask for force. To confront the Demon King without a hero."

"Ah, so you wanted a red dragon, and you bothered me, and if anything, you said to the nobles everywhere," I want the Summoners because I want the force. "

I wonder if that's what happened to the Dioren family. The Diorens were trying to make me paint Alicorn and Phoenix creatures for the royal family...

"Yes... I'm very sorry for the inconvenience."

Could it have reached Princess Large's ears? Oh, but I see. The Diorens are in jail right now, so of course they know the public authorities...

"... if you want a Summoner, you can summon it yourself. However, despite a massive summons, my father was unable to summon anything, and ever since then, he has become suspicious of the 'Conspiracy of the Brave'...."

"The Conspiracy of the Brave"?... Oh, I mean, does the King think that someone who was supposed to be a brave man is trying to get in his way? That's why you failed the subpoena?

Crowe sighs as she says she's stunned. I'm relentless...

"After that, about a year ago, I twisted my spiritual pulse a lot and tried to summon it... but what did I think? I freed up all the magic I had gathered along the way, and I began to deplete the whole territory... and many of my ministers whispered about my father's insanity."

Ah, that's the story of the dragon. I see.

... um, I'm kind of sorry.

"As a client, my father became completely obsessed with the gathering of force... so much dominated by the idea that the brave would take away the royal power, he began to put not only the Summoners, but also all kinds of force in his own hands. Stronger armor, stronger magic... One of them is the sword of the brave. And my father tried to make the sword of the brave a sacrifice for some magic."

"... is that okay?

"That's not good. The Sword of the Brave is one of the few ways to confront the Demon King. If it is lost, it will be difficult to seal the Demon King even if the hero is found. And yet my father... even if he had a sword that could only be used by brave men, it would only bother him..."

Fine, finished. Is that what happened? That's why Princess Large ran away with the sword of the brave. Is that so?

Hmm...

It's confusing.

"That's all for now. I mainly started talking about my father's confusion....."

"Yes, no, I get it. Yeah, it's been a tough time, Princess Large...."

Because Faye is noble, she seems to have many thoughts and looks complicated. Yeah. Well, I hate it when you're upset about who you can use.

"Well then, the sword of the brave must be protected not only from monsters, but also from kings. I'm sure he's looking for a sword with a bloody eye...."

Mr. Crowe stares at the sword of the brave with a slightly steep face.

"Yes. The monster will want to take away and destroy the sword of this brave man, who will hinder the resurrection of the Demon King, and my father... because there are no more offerings, he will be desperate by now and still be searching for me in secret."

"Secretly?

"Yes, because I can't predict the resurrection of the Devil. When the demon king is resurrected, all the people want a hero. Or the nobles who wish to overthrow the royal family. That's why my father wants to hide the resurrection of the Devil as much as he can."

... somehow, I don't think I should tell everyone everything, but I don't think so either. Hmm...

"Okay. Which means the royal family will attack here behind closed doors. Or they will attack us with a hidden purpose.... that's why monsters are attacking, especially regardless of that."

"I did it!... ah, it's nothing."

I was glad to hear that the monsters were attacking regardless, but it wasn't if I was glad. I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

"... well, if that's the case, I guess I'll have to prepare a lot too. Yeah.... Corn, Laocles. And Mr. Crowe. I need your help."

"Of course."

"I see. I'll take care of it when the royal family hires detectives."

Faye, Laocles and Crowe are reliable. I have to do my best and draw a lot. [M]

I am the spirit of this forest. [M] That's why we need to keep this forest and the towns around it peaceful. Do my best.

... that's why it's nice to draw monsters along with that, right?

We then discussed various defenses for the town, centered on Fai.

Fei seemed to be studying that kind of stuff properly, and Laocles was a pro when it came to running it.... Laocles said, "I'm a guard, not a soldier. I'm good at protecting people, but I'm not good at protecting the city ', but his point of view seemed to be enough to help Faye.

And then, Mr. Crowe.... I knew she was a pro. So, after seeing the plan Faye and Laocles made, they say, "I would attack from this hole," and so on. Hmm, it's a boulder.

"... hey, corn. We're in a hurry at these times. Is there anything I can do?"

"Yeah."

And we, 'unprofessional' people, are preparing tea with proper solidification. Because I have nothing else to do.

"Maybe I should read a martial law book, too."

"Hmm... I won't stop it, but I think it's the right material."

I don't think Lyla is very suitable for that kind of thing.... Ah, but I'm really good at working with fairies, so perhaps a Commander would be a good idea. The confectionery shop's kitchen looks like a battlefield every morning...

"Well, that's right. I'll leave that to the professionals. However, then my job is really just a chore...."

I think I should draw it.

"I don't draw, but I don't come out.... but, isn't drawing a waste of time? Yeah, that's right. Next time the monster comes out, I'll draw it myself."

Yeah, I hope so. Draw skeleton specimens together!

So the discussion proceeded, Lyla, Ange and I prepared tea and cake for everyone and sandwiched between them. Carnelia was having a little chat with Lian because Interlia had gone to the packing place and there was nothing to do. Lian was restless.

... that kind of fold.

Hi, there. The door was knocked.

When Laocles opened the door with a little vigilance... it was Mersen who was there.

"I'm sorry. I wonder if he was in the process of getting it."

"No, it's okay."

When she saw how our discussion was going, or answered Marsen with a slightly unfortunate face, she confronted Laocles with a slightly troubled face.

"Ah, if you'll excuse me... Ed. What do we do with that?

"... what is that?"

"Here's the prisoner we caught at the North Gate!... well, it doesn't have to be magic. The magic seals it and rolls it around....."

... eh.

Um, maybe there's still a skeleton specimen left...?

In the meantime, we'll discuss this later. We decided to prioritize the remaining skeleton specimens first. Princess Large agrees, and above all, a skeleton specimen awaits! I have to go!

Wow. Here it comes. Here it comes. Master Corn, what about this guy?

"In the meantime, I wrapped it around right away, so I didn't even see my face."

When I went to the north gate of the city wall, the knights smiled and surrounded the "prisoner". The "prisoner" is wound up in a splendid circle, kind of lying on top of a magical pattern. Sometimes it's moving, so there's no doubt about it!

"Ooh, I did it aggressively, but I think it was going well."

Looking at that, Faye is getting a little smelly. Oops, when I looked closely, the pattern drawn on the ground looked like it was painted with red paint.

"... this is Faye?

"Wow, it's like magic painting. I can seal it, too. This is how we draw patterns!

That's what Fai said, subtly hiding his left arm behind him.... about Fay. I don't think I dragged out a red dragon scale paint, so maybe I cut the inside of my arm and bled. I'll fix it later.

"Well, then, I'll open it."

Then we tightly surrounded ourselves and gently unwound it.

Then....

Smooth white and thin body. Delicate joints. Then, the hollow orbit lights up slightly.

... a skeleton specimen has emerged from inside!

Um!

Quickly, I'll call the skeleton specimen. [M]

"Be a model for the painting!

... as everyone watched nervously, the skeleton specimen tilted its neck as it moved.

Ah, maybe you don't understand what "model" means...?
