The Strongest Wizard Becomes a Countryside Guardsman After Taking an Arrow to the Knee

Returning to the village of Murg, it was dusk. It's chilly compared to a heated palace.

It is no longer entirely autumn.

Cruz watches the sunset and narrows his eyes.

"I feel lonely at the end of summer."

"Ria."

Sigishoara rang out to see if she had anything to think about as well.

For Sigi, it's the first fall.

I don't remember my first fall. Normal people would be.

Sigi, it's going to be autumn.

"What?"

It's getting colder and colder.

"Ria."

"It will be winter when the fall is over. It's gonna get colder."

"Well, well, well."

Sigi looked a little anxious.

So I stroke my head gently.

"But don't worry, it'll get warmer and warmer when the winter's over."

"Ria."

Sigi seems relieved.

Because it's a baby, it's the first time I've ever experienced a change of season.

I wonder how you feel.

The ancient dragon's sigi may come in autumn with tens of thousands of times to come.

But this is the first fall.

"Let's go out next time to see the fall"

"Ria."

"In preparation for winter, bears become active. There's gonna be a lot of territorial strife."

"Holy shit!

"Do you want to go hunting, too?

"Ha!

Sigi appears to have joined the hunt.

Sigi hasn't played for a few days, either, with the friendly child Demon Wolves.

Maybe we should let him play next time.

Thinking about that, Millet says.

"Mr. Al, why don't you come in to the hot springs before dinner?

"Let me do that"

"Ria."

"Whatever."

"Wafufufufu"

The beasts rejoice. We all head to the hot springs.

There is a hot spring inside the guard cabin so it is very convenient.

"I don't even have an evening spa."

"Right!

Naturally, Cruz and Vivi try to get in.

Can't you resist a mixed bath?

"Come on, man."

"Yes, it is."

"Vivi, I don't remember you raising your sister to do that."

Cruz and Vivi were grabbed by the good sense guys.

I'm sure they'll preach.

I'll take the beasts to the hot springs in that crevice.

Wash the beasts as usual before entering the hot tub.

"Oh, my God."

"Sigi likes hot springs, too. Feel good?"

"Ha!

Sigi swims well. I was swimming pretty fast.

Morphy and Femme hang on to the hot tub for a long time.

Femme stopped by when I was confused about the hot tub, too.

"How about a knee?

"I'm feeling good."

"Hot springs are good for knees, right?

"I feel a lot better before it really hurts"

It didn't do much good when I came in after it hurt.

But I feel like if I let you in before it hurts.

"Protecting the Demon King is magic, so hot water with magic is good, right?

Maybe that's what happened.

Even if you don't know why, that's fine if it actually works.

After full indulgence, exit the hot spring.

Then, after dinner, I headed to my bedroom.

I thought I'd go to bed early today.

Meanwhile, the Cruz headed to the hot spring after dinner.

When I got into bed, Sigi rode round on my stomach.

Morphy also gets sweet. I'm gonna put my jaw on my chest. A little heavy.

Femme was in position over my head, as usual.

Think a little as you stroke the beasts.

I wonder why I was chosen by the Devil's God.

What the hell is a demon king after all?

With that in mind, a bathing cruz came.

He came here to curb my knees.

"Mr. Al, how's your knee?

"Thanks to you, you're doing well today."

"Really? More than anything! Let's go ask the Death King tomorrow, shall we?

Cruz, saying so, fell asleep beside Morphy.

Me, Morphy, it's an arrangement called Cruz.

"What if!

"Morphy, what's going on?

Morphy happily began to sweeten to Cruz.

I'm pressing my nose against my stomach.

Cruz and Morphy began to get along.

Meanwhile, I stroked Sigi as I watched it, thinking about the Demon King.

"Mr. Al, what's going on?

When I realized, Cruz was looking at me.

Decent.

"Hmm? What's up?"

"Something looked difficult."

"Right."

I decided to tell you what I was thinking.

"A demon king is a former demon king."

"Yes."

"The former demon king, Vivi and Valimier say, ruled quite seriously"

"Speaking of which, you said that too"

The Demon King was seriously ruling. They were trying to make the Demon Nation's territory better.

That's why we welcomed Vivi as the Four Heavens King for soil improvement.

Even Valimier, who effectively controls the forest, was allowed to exist.

If you are a vicious demon king as commonly imagined, it is not strange that the forest of Lindbal has been burned.

But all of a sudden, we started invading.

"That's right. That's why the Crusade Directive came down to us."

"You started using zombies as a force at the same time as the Demon King's policy shifts."

"Speaking of which, you said that too"

"So you lost the protection of the Devil's God, became a family member of the apostle of the God of Death, and started the invasion."

Cruz thinks with a serious face.

"I'm sure you might be."

"Remember the last words of the former demon king?

"What was that?

"'Unforgivable. It should have been..."

"Was I?

Cruz has his neck clenched.

The last words of the former demon king were directed at me.

It's not a brave man, it's a word directed at me.

Shortly afterwards, I ate the immortal killer arrow, so that's a word I'll never forget.

"Maybe the former Demon King knew why he lost his protection."

"Hmm. Am I right?"

Cruz doesn't seem very convinced.

"Maybe he noticed it during the fight."

"Oh, that sounds like it"

"Right?"

"Because Mr. Al is strong. If you see a wizard who looks more magical than you, you realize it."

I don't know when the former demon king realized I existed.

But I guess I realized early on that the Devil's Divine blessing had been mourned from me.

And I should also have thought of the possibility that something with mighty magic appeared for that reason.

He must have become a member of the family of the Dead King because of his sense of crisis over the suburbs and started the invasion.

Timi said it was common for a new demon king to be born after the former demon king was crusaded.

A former Demon King who lost his protection and a Demon King candidate who has not yet received his protection.

I guess it is the devil's policy to make the survivor of both.

Then maybe the invasion of the former demon king also had the purpose of crusading the demon king candidate, or me.

"If a new Demon King candidate didn't show up, I mean, without me, maybe the former Demon King would have stayed a good king."

"Hmm. Could be."

"If you think so, perhaps the damage caused by the Demon King's Army is my fault"

"That's not true."

Cruz answers instantly with a smile.

"The evil of the Demon King's Army is the responsibility of the Demon King's Army, isn't it? It's not Mr. Al's fault."

"I don't care."

"Invasion is not the only way, because I want to prevent it."

Cruz speaks with confidence.

Meanwhile, Morphy began to insignificantly hold my hand.

I tried to make him stop, but Morphy seemed very sleepy, so I'll let him.

"I think there was a way to do something without becoming a member of the death-god."

"Right."

"Yes, all of them, the path chosen by the former Demon King"

I'd feel that way if Cruz told me that.

"So it's not Mr. Al's fault."

"Right. It made me feel better. Thanks."

"Eh heh."

Cruz blushed a little.

"Monopoly"

Morphy was flattered, clawing my fingers.

Me and Cruz laughed face-to-face at each other.

Then we went straight to sleep.

It was a better sleep than usual.

But at midnight, I wake up. Because I perceived the anomaly.

Morphy was bluffing with my hand clasped.
