The Undetectable Strongest Job: Rule Breaker

Sitting in front of a desk and writing is a small young man —— a looking man who, if he looks human, should be called a young man.

Late at night —— Emperor Quimbrand, Cagley-Gi-Quimbrand's private room was lit with a magic guide lamp.

A certain amount of light illuminates the room blurry, not as strong but not as shaky as a candle.

Kagley, uh, stopped his hand holding that blade pen.

"Are we finally here? If I was one day late, I would have left."

"Call it in on your own. That's a long way to go."

Not even showing surprise at the figure who showed up indoors at some point - a silver mask on a black robe - Kagley looks back.

The figure, the silver figure (Hikaru), threw a silver mask under Kagley's feet. This mask has been on the castle gate of the Imperial Castle for nearly January.

I can't think of any other way to call it in.

"Well... I (...) don't want to be called out often"

"But that's where I came in. Why is that?

"Come on, don't ask me why I better call you."

"That was also the case when Unken —— it felt like that was trying to be as secular and non-interferent as possible. Was it because there was a 'personal' connection that carried Unken's letter in excess?

That's right.

Hikaru came here —— you could have ignored it. But here I am.

Like Celica, I wouldn't say, but I thought maybe I could just be a little more active in this world.

"... okay. It's a whim."

Hikaru made fun of me for not wanting to talk about it.

"Right. Then it's on a whim. Silver Face, do me a favor."

"What? That's why you called me."

"Go to Villeo Cean. Come with me."

It still looks like a Villeocean relationship issue.

"Hmm."

"Well, don't be surprised."

"I don't know the details."

"We're leaving tomorrow at noon. Come to the castle gate of the Imperial Castle."

"No, no, wait a minute. Why is that a prerequisite for me to go now? Too fast for that."

Lavia and the others are in Pond. Because Koo hadn't woken up yet and when he moves at a party, he's a lot more noticeable than he moves alone.

"I've been waiting for it to come. If it's a day late, the rest of it's already empty."

Cagley said he waited so long for Silverface.

Even if the other ministers disagreed, did you delay scheduling your exit until critical?

"No, no, no... why are you waiting for me so long? It doesn't make sense."

"Maybe so. But the rest of us have to go to the Villeocéans."

"... what the hell happened?

"Explain it on the move —— you won't be convinced. Let's talk now."

Kagley rose from the chair and moved to the small table with a demon guide lamp. That table was carved with continental maps, and here the location of the Imperial Castle was embedded with gems.

"Do you know about the continent of doom?"

"... no? I don't know."

Hikaru explored the memories, but there was no fusi to think of. Roland, the source of Hikaru's memory, should also be properly educated as a nobleman, but not in Roland's memory.

I don't know, even if I answered, Kagley looks natural.

"So what about Dew-Roch Island?

"Uh... Was it an island floating on the East Sea of Vileocean"

island, quite large enough to say that once there was a small independent state.

Occupied in past wars, it is now the territory of Villeocean.

"Yes, it's about here."

Cagley pointed to a small mare floating east of Villeocean —— the end of the east.

Where it gets clogged, that's where the map ends.

"The continent of doom is here."

The Magic Guide lamp was placed with Kotori -- further east. Just twice the distance from Dew-Roch Island to Villeocean.

"I don't know how big it is, but they say it's at least equal to the Villeocean coastline"

"There's a continent in a place like that?

"There are giant sea monsters east of Dew-Roch Island, it's hard to go... now,"

"You said you used to be able to go?

"Exactly. There have been attempts to settle on the eastern continent based on Dew-Roch Island. About 550 years ago."

"... that was a long time ago. But you had a problem, didn't you?

"It took about 50 years for the colonization to take place and a small state was established on the eastern continent. Mannorms are also involved in this nation-building."

That's quite massive, Hikaru thought, but said the population was less than 10,000.

"There aren't many records left. But the eastern continent seems to have had a tougher environment than this one."

"Tough?"

"--the monster was powerful"

He managed to have it because there were top ranked adventurers at the time, but he was such a strong monster that he would have perished instantly without them.

Adventurers were asked at first to dispatch troops because they were cautious because they also had domestic defenses.

"Fifty years after the start of the colonization... it was 500 years ago now. Suddenly, I lost touch with the eastern continent. Because a belligerent, giant sea monster is now appearing in the eastern ocean."

"How far is it from Dew-Roch Island to the eastern continent?

"It takes 15 days on a fast legged ship. Most ships departing from Dew-Roch Island have also been sunk by monsters, and ships from the eastern continent seem to have sunk with a glance at just a few."

The giant sea monsters are still being observed from Dew-Roch Island.

"... well. But the sea monsters just took control of the ocean, didn't they? That's all you call a 'continent of doom'?

"The problem is that a few of those ships remain. Passengers say there were more ships from the eastern continent headed for Dew-Roch Island"

"Was it more...?

"It's about a ship that abandoned the continent and fled."

"What do you mean? You throw away the land you've been piling up for 50 years because there's a monster out in the ocean and you run away?

"There was a problem inside the eastern continent."

Kagley looked difficult and pointed to the north side, the one above the demon guide lamp.

"This is what the survivors said. The northern part of the continent had an even more vicious nest of demons, the 'Demonic Realm'. The demon noticed a human invasion (...). And in large numbers, they attacked the continental capital —— Lance Harvest. Lans Harvest is on the verge of falling and people fled aboard the ship"

"... sea habitat monsters if you flee by boat. An even stronger monster in the capital."

"That's what it is"

Sealed waters.

The information beyond it has not been conveyed in the last 500 years —— the "continent of doom" because it has been wiped out altogether.

"Why is the information on the continent of doom kept secret?

"I'm not hiding it. The upper echelons of each country know as a matter of course. But it's already in the past. East of Dew-Roch Island is not where we should go. That's all you need to know."

Hmm, and Hikaru exhaled.

I thought I figured out where this story was going.

"... did you hear that? The news… the voice (...) from The Continent of Doom."

Kagley nodded.

"It seems that the Bumpy Fleet is surrounding Dew-Roch Island, coming from the 'Continent of Doom'. They want a dialogue with us. We're supposed to be like our ancestors."

But here was their first voice.

"Have them pay back what they owed 500 years ago" -- they think they were abandoned (...).
