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

I was listening with a serious face, says Vivi.

"Luca, what is it? You're the great man of the Adventurer Alliance, aren't you?

"I am the great man of the Adventurer's Guild, the Prefect of Wangdu. This neighborhood is outside my jurisdiction."

"Oh, I see."

"So I don't know the details."

That may not be something we can do.

Luca works hard, but the Adventurer Guild's Precinct Manager is inherently an honorary position.

I ask Yulina.

"Yulina. What's going on with the church in Elkay?

"Once there was a small church, there was a priest."

"What about the faithful?

"Well... there's not that many of them."

Almost all believers seem to be absent, according to Yulina.

Seems like young clergy just come here once in a while for preaching.

It seems Elkay has become the episcopal center of preaching in the former demonic kingdom.

So once the young clergy comes to Elkay, they're scattered all over the place.

"The Church is limited in its influence in the former demon kingdom."

That's what I have to say.

While we were having that conversation, Toddler Girl Kai was on Morphy's back.

"Ha ha."

"What if!

"Ria!"

Sigishoara also seemed to enjoy riding with Morphy on his back.

Seeing Kei happy, his brother Tom seems happy too.

I am so happy to see my child happy.

"There are naturally children in the city of Elkay, and there are good people living there."

It's obvious.

"What's the deputy doing?

"I'm curious... Shouldn't we do something about calling ourselves the Demon King now?

Luca is right.

"In the meantime, do something from the self-proclaimed Demon King"

"Right!

"Just in case, the deputy isn't at Demon King's Castle, is he?

The deputy doesn't seem to be doing anything, but he's the king's deputy.

Selling fights can be a hassle.

"Well, it looks like the mansion near the church is officiating."

"Well, that's a relief."

When I said that, Timisoara took herself out.

"Oh, Arla. You're going into the Castle of the Demon King, aren't you?

"I plan on doing that."

"Shall we come down from above me? You can bark, you can wear one brace."

"... no, let's not do that"

"Er..."

"Ha ha..."

Timi and Sigi on Morphy's back are disappointed.

"The Castle of the Demon King is close to the city of Elkay..."

"Hmm."

"If Timi's roar sounds, the city will panic"

"Sure, right? You'd better not."

"If Arla and Luca are like that, why don't we stop growling"

Then Timi says.

"... you can't even brace?

"Don't let the Demon King's Castle break. And if you eat Timi's braces, you'll die calling yourself the Demon King."

"That's right. When you die, you don't know what kind of group you are or what the hell a spiritual case is."

It felt like Rae had said something strange at that time, and I raised my hand.

"Um..."

"Rae, what's up?

"Is it not possible that my brother is in Demon King's Castle?

"Oh, there is."

I got the look that Timi just noticed.

I was keeping my mouth shut with both hands.

"I'm sorry. It didn't come to my mind."

"Yes, no"

"If my braces come down, if Rae's brother were here, he'd be dead."

"That's likely to happen."

"Let's not brace"

That's what happened.

I ask Tom.

"By the way, is there something in this building?

"What?

"Anything the Damians want?

Somehow the demon king ordered Damien to get this house.

I want to know why.

"Hmm. I don't think so."

"Haven't you heard something originally happened to this place or something?

"Hmm. My dead dad would have known."

"Right."

Vivi says.

"You should check it out."

"Sure. Tom, can I check it out?

"Of course you're good!

Tom gave me pleasure.

"Morphy, help me with my nose, too."

"Whatever."

Morphy keeps Sigi and Kei on her back, making her nose cum.

Me and Vivi are magically exploring.

I'll look into it carefully.

There's nothing magical about it.

"Right."

"Al. Is there something magical going on?

"It doesn't seem like it at the moment..."

Luca was walking near me on a magical expedition.

I'm going to check with interest on hand.

"What's this? It looks a little old-fashioned."

"This is a ruin trail, isn't it? The city of Elkay itself, a city built on the ruins."

"Did the demon king see the ruins?

"Mm-hmm. The whole Elkay city is on the ruins. It's not like Tom's inn is special."

"Hmm."

Luca doesn't seem to know much either.

"Al, there's still nothing magical about it."

"Right."

From what Vivi and I looked into, it didn't seem like there was anything particularly magical about it.

"Then why do you call yourself the Demon King?"

"Why don't you ask the demon king directly?"

"Maybe that's fast"

We decided to head out to Demon King Castle.
