The march by the hundreds of Knights was a rolling one, and we watched from the rear of the line as countless sounds of hooves treading on the ground echoed.

By the way, when I say why our carriage is at the rear, it's my fault, not to mention mine.

With me in the queue, the line swells and disturbs so much, and as I walk in the lead, the horses in the back row walk out noronorously trying to get as far away as possible.

'Ha... I wonder why I'm so hated by animals'

When Kayliss-kun picked up my words that leaked to how I said it by accident, Captain Dundee, who was in the same carriage there, looked up.

By the way, I'm Kaylis, who usually takes care of the carriage, but there are so many people out there, they're asking me to change my driving.

At first, Kaylis also moved to the passenger seat as usual, but when I asked him to, he moved to the back seat.

And for some reason, Captain Dundee has also asked for a ride to the carriage by saying, "Because of this opportunity, I want to talk to you guys," so I feel a little narrower in the carriage because of him with wide shoulders.

By the way, I've found out Reggie is an animal man, so I also told him that I was the same person when I crusaded the dragon and when I was a baby. That looked pretty good for this wild uncle to stop.

In response to my whining, Captain Dundee stroked his elegantly bearded jaw,

"That would be due to Lord Sephilia's killing."

"Uh... no, I didn't kill him."

"Was it a bad way of saying it? Is it easier for a magician to tell you that it's a demonic zone?

No?

Captain Dundee, who saw me tilt my little neck, explains it with a serious face, not a fool.

"Simply put, they show the realm of how far a magician can affect the distant when activating magic"

Ha, I see. I guess what we call magic range here is talking about direct attack magic.

Otherwise, even if I'm in Imperial Capital, I can maintain my village's magic trap, which means I have more than a hundred kilometers of that demonic area and dots.

In short, does the Demonic Zone mean that you can activate magic at this moment right now and defeat how far away your enemies are?

"In general magicians, distances seem to be average enough for distant objects to be clearly visible. And such magicians can intimidate without even touching their hands if they are animals that are just about a tenth of the distance from the demonic zone."

Oh, really? So that's why I'm hated by animals?

But now that we're talking about it, unless you're conscious and intimidating me, it doesn't seem like you'd be scared...

"I've heard that being a high-ranking magician produces the same effects as intimidation due to the magic that leaks unconsciously from its body... but I also hear that at best it happens only at a distance enough for the hands to touch it directly. So until I learned of Lord Sephilia's strength, I was wondering if it must be for another reason..."

"You're scared when magic is leaking... if you stick to magic, you're not dying, are you?

"Oh, of course it is. But think about it...... if a bloody man approaches you back in front of you, it's usually horrible, isn't it?

"Uh, ah, yes."

"But if the man knew he couldn't move off the spot, it wouldn't be a serious threat to get close enough."

After listening so much to Captain Dundee's analogy, I finally found out what he was trying to say.

I mean, make the magic that leaks from your opponent conscious. Make it unconscious. At the point you feel it, the place is in your opponent's 'killing zone'.

Within the bare-handed human killing zone, one meter at most.

If you have a knife or sword, its killing zone will only expand slightly, and the killing ability it brings about will also be much improved.

A pistol or something, even if ten meters was a distance away, would remember quite a bit of fear just by recognizing its existence.

If you know that extreme stories, enemies who are willing to kill against you, are on fighters and approaching you, you should be frightened just because you've heard a plane from a few kilometers away.

Mages have the ability to kill away opponents with just a few seconds or so to cast a spell.

And to me, you can manipulate the terrain and even the weather at will, with just one word, and also with less than a second of activation time.

If the animals instinctively perceive that fact by sensing the magic leaking out of my body… I'm also convinced of why they frighten me so far.

Instead, if you didn't have that much magic sensing power, you wouldn't have been able to survive to this day in this other world where the Demons travel.

What Reggie was saying was, "The Smell of Death," which must have meant a sense of magic leaking out of the enemy.

When I am convinced by myself, Captain Dundee will have a face that won't float "but......"

"It's an anomaly, to be honest, to frighten horseback riding with special training to fight demons by that time, to make even people who should have little magic sensing power feel cold and even vigilant to dragons"

"Ugh..."

"I know the Republic is quite a magician at the point of manipulating magic while wearing the magically sealed" Magic Enclosure "... but who the hell are you? Is the word" Imperial Brave "spoken by Lord Lille or that oak king true?

It can simply be considered an intrigued question, but he is the captain of the Knights Defending the Republic.

I'm sure this question will mean that you want to convince me that I'm not an incompetent person who's going to take me to the capital of the Republic.

And to his such question, Mr. Nelvia turned to me and answered.

"Yes, Master Sefi is a brave man born to save this world"

Captain Dundee, who heard Ms Nervia's answer, opened his eyes and then laid his eyes down, "Again, did..." he rose from his seat and knelt at me.

Hey, stop, stop! Because I don't need that! I mean if the big captain in the figure did that in the carriage, his feet would be narrower!?

Don't make such a fussy rhetoric about Nelvia anymore!? Because I have no intention of saving the world!

Besides, until yesterday, when Crito was fooled into being a brave man, can I believe it's so easy to talk about me being a brave man?

... No, it's about him who was spotting our strengths at first sight, so maybe he didn't really believe the story that Guided Crit was a brave man.

I managed to convince him to sit back in my seat, and I mention again the collar embedded in my neck.

"You can take this collar off, right?

"Of course it is. The paperwork process may take some time, as there have never been any instances in the past where the magic guide was brought up and used... but I was wondering how it would be completed in three days at the latest if I told you who you are and what you are doing."

Um, is it still just a republic that needs a lot of troublesome operational procedures or parliamentary approval?

If this were Beorant, the Imperial capital, it would likely be over in five minutes if His Majesty Verhazzato were ok.

... Ah, no, wouldn't that be the case if it were a normal empire? There was just something wrong with our Majesty.

'When I get to Plazatos, can I leave that area to you?

"Yes, of course. Leave it to me."

An objectively surreal sight for a good old, dandy uncle to use a salutation with a big serious face on a one-year-old.

But the captain is more of a proud face, and maybe the feeling around there is something that goes with Mr. Nervia.

... but that's just how itchy it is for a captain from another country to use his respects, so I asked him to stop doing that.

Oh, yeah. I have to ask you this, too.

'Lil' told me if I asked, I wouldn't know, what would happen if I magically broke this collar?

"... normally with a collar fitted, they are severely restrained before being thrown into a cell. And by the time the collar is fitted, normal humans can't use magic or anything. I mean..."

Uh, I mean, nobody's ever done that, so I need to know what's gonna happen.

Then it would be good, after all, to wait for the procedure and have it peacefully removed. I've come so far, let's take a tour of the Republic's capital.

...... hmm? Wait a minute, please.

"Aren't there magicians in the Republic who made this?

To my inquiry, Captain Dundee will look hazy.

But he roared troubledly,

"A magician who did indeed make this would know more about it. Anyway, you're a magician enough to get into three fingers in the Republic. But he has a very difficult personality, and it's hard to have a decent conversation. There's also a reason why you don't know the detailed performance of the collar besides him"

Oh, is it made by such a crazy person, this collar...?

Then you don't know what kind of flying mechanism you have.

But the three fingers in the Republic... aren't they like the magicians where they say they are in the Empire?

Well, if you mean you can remove it normally, let's remove it normally.

I decided to keep the collar destroyed as a last resort after all, and I decided to look forward to the day of my arrival in Plazatos, the capital of the Republic, which I have yet to see.
