The Tale of the Teapot Hero’s Revenge

106 Demon Army in Forest Capital

The bodies of demons scattered all over the city were cleaned up the next day and now the rebuilding of the broken streets has begun.

"I guess it was a beautiful city, here"

". Forest Capital Forestia. It is also famous as a summer shelter (Hishi) and a tourist destination, and I wanted to try it once. I didn't expect it to come in this way..."

Melo explained to me with a dark face as I passed by a crying elf girl in front of a burning house.

I guess there are a lot of people who lost their families, like their current children, in this raid.

The sadness of losing your family, the more it hurts, you know.

But this is a flood of naturally occurring demons (stampede).

It would be hard not to have a destination for hatred......

"... eh"

Beato quickened me.

I didn't mean to look scared.

"He looked sad."

"... eh"

Instead of the unspeakable Beat, Toka taught me.

Oh, come on, you're cheering me up.

"Thanks, Beat. Because I'm fine. Let's go to Mr. Leah's position."

That guy has a lot to ask me.

I don't know why you were in this city, or maybe with what's going on with Corcute right now.

○ ○ ○

Outside the city, in a square in the woods a short distance from the entrance, I came to the Demonic Army position.

There are lots of tents and burning marks all over the place.

When I told the soldier nearby that Leah had business, he showed me around quickly.

Looks like there are only a few soldiers left in the reconstruction work.

They even bring me in front of a tent the size of a cabin in the deepest corner, and I can hear them inside.

"Dear Leah, I have a visitor, may I see you"

"Never mind, let me through."

That's Mr. Leah's voice now.

As I crept through the entrance where I was given permission, the military man who tied my orange hair behind me welcomed me.

"Oh, did you mean you and the others?"

"Ooh, it's Atashi and the others. I just got here, but what if it's annoying?

"Hell, I'm sorry this is the place where there's nothing. At least take your time."

It's easy because Toka will exchange it, isn't it?

Older people, I can really count on you.

A long desk and lots of chairs are placed in the middle of the tent.

It feels like a tent to command and set up an operation, not to live.

Don't hesitate to sit down.

"Excuse me......"

Me with a dead expression compared to a loving toca.

Besides, you look extra loving because you pretend to be a man and keep your voice down......

When I sat on the chair, Beato stuck to me perfectly.

You're in position now, I guess you'll be riding on your knees sometime.

Melo and Toka also introduced themselves lightly about their seats.

I tried to name Killier and her real name, but it was a rare name for a man, a degree of reaction.

"... Well, I've been relying on you for trouble, not the wind. What kind of errands would that be?"

"Actually, I have a lot to check with you.... and then Killier, say hello"

"Oh my... me!?

"It's the only way. I didn't ask you what you wanted to hear."

"Ugh, sure..."

I should have told you everything in advance and had Toka exchange them all.

I want to stop acting like a man anymore......

"Uh... First, how did Mr. Leah end up in this city...?

"It is. No matter how many neighbors, the Elf country is another country. Why are you in the capital when it's not good to just have the Demon Army?

Melo, nice supplement.

"Our garrison is an order from Master Seitum."

Seitam......, you are the father of Tartus, the demon king who hates every fight.

"In the battle ahead, the rampage of some demonic armies resulted in many casualties in the regular army, the sub-army. Saytam was heartbroken and feared a deterioration in his relationship, leading to a joint military exercise with his neighbor, Harnest."

I see. So you're trying to restore intimacy.

"That's how a few days ago I arrived in this city and was getting ready... As you know, yesterday's trouble, the exercise is going to be canceled. It's time for us to return to our country."

Trouble yesterday......, the case of a large group of demons pushing against the city, huh?

"Is that common around here?

"No, don't ask too much. Once every few decades, there will be something small or not, to that extent. The place where demons are commonly seen is also far from this city"

... don't even feel like the timing is a little too good.

I can't believe a rare case like that happens to happen when there are demonic armies, as if they were after us.

Of course I'm not suspicious of Mr. Leah.

"But everyone in the city was grateful to the Demon Army people. Didn't you serve the purpose of preventing the relationship from deteriorating?

"Right... Of course I can't let go and be happy, but I'm unhappy, you know."

As you can see, the demon side has benefited.

Well, of course it's suspicious when...

"Hey, Mr. Leah. Anyone in the Tartus Army ever come back to Corcute?

"I have one back about a month ago. It's Lord Lou Golf.... What's that?

Lou golf, and.

Um, I just...

"… [Servant]"

Yes, he's a [servant] user.

Is this a gift that calls demons to fight freely?

You're a little too suspicious, this.

"Shiiki...? Lord Killier, something's wrong, but how do you like it?

"No…, I'm overthinking…"

Let's still keep our mouths shut to Mr. Leah.

Deceive me appropriately and keep my story to myself.

"... By the way, I've been wondering about you just now. What kind of treatment is Tartus in Corcute now?

Melo, Nice again.

Hard to hear, he slashed me in.

"Well, I don't know what the question means, but is that one stationed in Diete, the king's capital, right now?

"A stationing... Are you stationed to destroy and take over the kingdom!?

Oops, that's too much.

"Melo, calm down for a second"

"Ah..., I'm sorry, with..."

I wanted to check on you a little bit more and then ask you if you could just blame me.

"Destroyed the kingdom...? Totally different from what I'm hearing, but what do you mean..."

Mr. Leah, you look so shocked.

Originally the blue and white face is even bluer.

"Is that story true...? Let me know more."

Seeing as this reaction, the intelligence manipulation from the Tartus side was carried out, there seems to be no mistake.

Speaking of which, I've only just mentioned this guy as some demon outburst about the example.

Then you don't have to hide it.

I smacked Mr. Leah into everything I know about Tartus, including Lou Golf's balls of courage (gift sphere).

"That's what...! Then, the comrade discussion of the matter is not the outburst of some..."

Well, what will Mr. Leah do?

If this man has a strong sense of justice and loyalty, he will be on our side --,

"... No, you can't pelican only what you say. I'm not suspicious, but I want to be sure here with my own eyes, with my ears, and judge on it"

... I thought it might be, but I guess so.

You can't just show up all of a sudden and believe Nashi about us and the evidence.

"It's a wise decision. But what are you gonna do to make sure?

"There is Lord Lou Golf in the country. Put some exploration into him, as long as it's silo. If it's clo, we'll have to take care of it."
