The Strongest Wizard Who Makes Full Use of the Strategy Book

Episode XVIII: Duchess Luxun Beatrixine (Ray Perspective)

"Good job, Ray. I came with a plug today."

"Thank you every day, Princess Beatrixine"

"'Thank you every day, Berry' - isn't it?

"Ugh, yeah. Thanks for every day, Berry."

The princess asked me to correct her, and I firmly restated.

"Berry" is like calling me a common man, but she only gave me special forgiveness.

Or if you don't call me that, you won't forgive me the other way around.

"It is also a breath of daily official business for me to go around freely exploring all over the castle dressed as such an officer. So if you treat me like a princess in excess, there's no point in breathing!

And, princess - yeah, berries are blurry.

"Everyone in the castle knows about this, right?

"It's a public secret."

"Gentlemen, you trust me so much about Berry that you pretend not to see it"

"I'm just being bracketed. As a matter of fact, I'm not going to step outside the castle grounds, and exploratory cockroaches are cockroaches."

That's what Berry says and slaps his haters on, but I think he's a smart kid, who can and shouldn't be right on the line.

If you go on an expedition down to the castle, you won't go no matter how curious you are because you know how much you worry and annoy a large number of people.

That's why Berry wants to talk to me outside the castle.

Every day since the day I first met her, she brings me a plug to the place where I self-train in Sumiko in the backyard.

I chat with her while I take a break. [M]

Even so, I'm a country man who doesn't know things. The topic will be all about demons. Thanks to Magnus, I became somewhat familiar with this.

"General Demon Bullet's army is attacking us from the north, isn't it?

"Yeah, but I'm talking about the fortified city of Kilomitsu."

"General Georg, who protects Kilomitsu, is the famous commander of the war!

Berry proudly named the general who serves the Grand Duke.

"Me and Magnus are going to take out the evil boss monsters along the way, level them up, and prepare for General Demon Bullet."

"That's cool, but until then, Kilomitsu is Bo (also) the Warrior of Light Sama?

"I don't think I have any problems at all at the moment. This is a Magnus takeover and sale, but refugees haven't pushed in from the north, and it's not like the Grand Duchy's distribution or economy is rough. This is more proof than anything that Kilomitsu's defense is stable."

"Heh... that's a great focus. Magnus, you're such a wise man."

"Right. I've never met anyone smarter or more knowledgeable than Magnus."

I'm as happy as I am to be praised for Magnus!

- What did I say, you're too well?

But I can't fake my heart.

"But, Ray? I have no doubt that the Kilomitsu generals will be struggling with this much, but... is" General Demon Bullet ”an opponent that surprisingly isn't as good as his mouth?

"It's outrageous! Never insult the demons, Berry!

I shook my head from left to right. [M]

"The highest level I've ever fought is 20 manticores."

"Twenty!? Even Sir Dayne, who keeps the name of the mightiest knight in the castle, is fifteen!

"Yeah, in fact, Manticore was a hell of a strength. But General Demon Bullet's level is over 40."

"It would be a lie..."

Berry went bright blue and out of line.

My hands stretched out to the sweets have hardened.

"Hey, Ray? If that's the case, isn't Kilomitsu falling all the way down?

"Sure, if General Demon Bullet himself attacked, I think this castle, instead of Kilomitsu, would have fallen."

I mean, I think this is all Magnus' takeover and sale, too.

"So why isn't“ General Demon Bullet "attacking himself? Are you out of your hands?

"Uh... for Berry, it could be a story of getting a bad chest..."

"I don't mind, tell me. You don't qualify as a trader, such as a princess who blocks her ears from stories that are inconvenient to her!

The fortitude of these berries.

Cool.

I like it.

Well, I'll never get it out of my mouth.

"So, uh, assuming“ General Demon Bullet ”attacks this castle and Berry and His Royal Highness the Grand Duke and His Royal Highness the Prince are all killed, the country called Luxun is over, right?

"Before that, I will stop the tea that one of my older brothers should take off the castle and try to get your house back together, so please continue with the hypothetical story?

"So, even if Luxun is doomed, it doesn't mean that we humans have lost the demon."

I see. I see.

"For demons, beating humans means pushing humans into extinction."

"If General Demon Bullet transformed this castle into a sea of fire, and the surviving humans lurked everywhere and continued their resistance activities, there wouldn't be much point in dropping the castle."

"Yes, yes. Sir Dayne is naturally stronger than a rat, isn't he? But you can't eradicate a castle rat, can you? The same goes for General Demon Bullet."

"On the contrary, then, how is“ General Demon Bullet ”going to beat humans?

"That's why I'm letting the demons under my command fight to level up the army."

"Ah......!

A berry sitting on the lawn tapped her pretty knee head, peeking slightly from the hem of her skirt.

"Even if it's hard to eradicate humans with the strongest 'pieces', but with a trained 'group', it's going to be possible someday."

"Yes, yes."

Magnus then speculated that there might be some aspect of the "Eight Demons" competition for each other.

"Hmm, that was an interesting story. Well, in fact, in the front line of fighting the monsters, the stories of those standing there are different."

"No... haha... all, at the sale of Magnus..."

"Ray should fix his demeaning habits! You're not so light-hearted as to make someone you don't care about talk to about your thoughts, Mr. Magnus? You're putting your trust in Ray, so you're trying to share your consciousness as a buddy, aren't you? Then keep Ray on his chest!

"Oops, sorry..."

"I won't apologize right away!

"Oh, thank you."

"Nice to meet you."

Berry said as a sneer.

That look on her cheeky face really dazzled me.

Every time I despise myself, my heart and feelings are always saved by her being as angry as they are about me.

In fact, when she came to see me every day, it was gone that I felt it was hard to live in the Royal Palace.

Berry's presence was truly appreciated by me.

to (...) -

"Were you here, Princess Beatrixine"

We've been looking for you for a long time.

A slight and careless footsteps approached us when we were alone.

Next to me, Berry sighs like a pioneer. [M]

I look at the group that came all the way to the corner of the backyard.

It was a bunch of knights.

It's also called the young, pre-twenty years old.

That's good. At this time, I don't mind.

The problem is, make sure you lead them, that boy who leads the way.

They noticed my presence and looked away. [M]

We looked at each other and muttered at the same time.

"Ray, why are you here?

"Eldora, why are you here?
