Somehow, I was relieved of my shoulder strength because of Asuka, but I was no longer reluctant to walk with my face exposed. As usual, it's attracting attention, but I wonder if Asuka's being next to you is going to get any better.

I would have been tired if I hadn't cared, so I'm grateful to Asuka for relieving me of my tensions. Thank you!

"We will continue to the hall of Tsubagami." The king of the east awaits you. ”

"Maybe I've kept you waiting..."

No! I'm the one who suddenly called out!

When I stepped into the castle, I was finally able to escape a lot of gaze. Even though I don't care anymore, I'm still a little relieved. I let out a small exhalation so that I would not be noticed.

Normally, it would be more nervous to enter the castle, but I wasn't really thrilled because I used to go to the Demon King Castle. Funny, the King used to be the only one who had a lot of clichés. It is a subtle mood that seems to be losing its normal senses.

A hall with a view that was guided in this way. I saw an elderly man sitting on the throne in the deepest places. Definitely the king of the east. As expected, I felt a tingling nervousness.

"I'm sorry for the sudden call. Take it easy, please. I've heard that people from the Demon Continent don't like to be feared. You don't have to worry about politeness and greetings in this country."

"Thank you for your kindness, it will be helpful"

We were all relieved by the king's casual tone. As you said, it is difficult to be in awe of us.

But I think your father sent the information. Even people from the Demon Continent can do it properly. I'm sorry to have to admit that all the demons are like this, but we don't have to correct it because we're helping. Yeah.

How was your trip?

"Ah, no. I came here today from the Demon Continent." From now on, right? "

When Licht answered, a gesture spread through the hall. "Well, I'll come with the contradiction technique of transfer..." You'd think you came from a mine, and you'd be surprised.

But that was the King of the East. I was so convinced that I had used some kind of magic.

"Is that so?" I was hoping I could help if there was any inconvenience..... "

"No, I appreciate your concern." Ah, but if you don't mind, there are two things I'd like you to ask me. "

Um, let's hear it.

He was a kind king. Well, I guess my father was talking to me about the Demon Continent. I want you to give the survey team a little attention. I have sent people who have no problems, but would you like me to report anything? There must be more fine-tuned rules.

That's why I think it's this treatment. However, other survey teams won't be called to the castle like this.

"One is, I know that it is an unusual and eye-catching appearance, but I want people in the country to treat it as naturally as possible. There are ways to avoid getting noticed, but I don't need to rely too much on it, and I want to investigate it with my natural body....."

"Ah, you're telling me something that I've been having trouble paying attention to..." I didn't expect you to really ask the king. I'm sorry it didn't happen. But honestly, I appreciate it.

"I see. I'm sorry that the people have behaved badly." I told the rest of the Imperial Castle to be careful. However, even if there is no offense, you may be concerned and your eyes may turn to it. I just want you to forgive me for that. "

“That's enough, thank you.”

I would appreciate it if you could just give me a shout! I also expressed my gratitude by lightly interrupting the meeting.

Then Richt asked me what I wanted to know about the person who made the statue and the existence of the disciple. Oh, I'm sure you'll get some information here!

"The maker of that stone statue lived his life a few years ago." But I've heard that there are disciples. I'll let you examine it. "

Thank you!

"I see, the maker is already dead..." That's a shame. Even though I'm embarrassed, I wanted to meet someone who made my own statue at first sight.

But it was good news that I had an apprentice. I wish I could take on the matter of training for the Demon Continent and turn it down.

Then a person accompanied by the king came quickly, and somehow he was told that he had found out the whereabouts of the disciple. Hurry up!?

Whatever it is, they work in the biggest workshop in this castle town. After the artisan who made the stone statue died, he asked the workshop to train him. You're a very uplifting person, aren't you?

“The Alberto Workshop also has a shop on the main street. If you don't look for it, you'll find it."

It's a workshop that also has a shop. In that part of the workshop, your apprentice is training. I think it's a pretty big shop because I think it sells its name in this country. It's great to be able to train in such a place.

“Do you know the name?”

"Oh, that's right." A little boy named Set, but I hear he's just grown up. "

Indeed, you were an adult at the age of fifteen. Hmm, if you are a young person with a future and are eager to study, you may get a good response from studying abroad on the Magic Continent!

Nevertheless, we must be careful not to rush the conversation. It's important, so I want you to think about it.

Later, the King told me some rumors of promising talent in other cities. Oh, thank you. The people who were raised said that they should have heard about studying in the demon continent.

You're a brilliant talent, so you've got a lot of voices from around the country. That means you can't make it, so we need to proceed with caution. If you can't do it, you can do it. Let's just talk about it.

Ah, it's been a long time since I've had the trouble of running around in my previous life. Sales were tough... You can't do it like you did back then.

The meeting with the king in the east ended in about ten minutes, and we went out of the castle. The soldiers were bowing their heads until they couldn't see us, so we quickly headed to the main street.

"Soldiers of the human kingdom? That's interesting. They were all dressed the same, and they all made the same moves. What's the point of that?"

Asuka leaked her doubts as she stretched her arms upwards, perhaps feeling somewhat stiff.

Ah, that's right. There's no such thing as a demon continent. The people serving the Demon King's Castle all dressed up as they liked it, and although I haven't seen many of them, the royalty on the demon continent and the people working there didn't have uniform attire either.

In the first place, even if there is cooperation, there is not much we can all do together. I'm a little uncomfortable working together in a race.

Sometimes you can do most things yourself, but basically you don't have the head to work with people you don't like. You don't have much sense of patience because it's a job.

I think the Guildstella is close, but it's still a little different from the human organization.

Huh. Humans are funny.

Having heard such explanations from me and Ronnie, Asuka's eyes shine with curiosity. Maybe everything you see is fresh. It is worth teaching.

Well, it was an unexpected visit to the Royal Castle, but thanks to you, I can see what I need to do!

Yeah! First, I'll go see Seto-kun at the Alberto Workshop!

Just before entering the main street, I said to Rich while looking back, and when I said the meaning of confirmation, I nodded back.

Then, I also noticed the talent I was curious about in the south, west, north, center, and everywhere.

"Yup, yup! One by one, it's like you're hitting someone you care about, right?" Ugh, I'm so excited! "

Ronnie and Asuka will add to it. If you see what you're going to do, you're going to be even tougher! I think I'm doing the same thing now as Asuka.

"You're a fast swallowing team member!" Also, promote the goodness of the demon continent in the towns, villages, and cities you stopped by, and get a little interest. I think some humans are scared because they don't really understand the demon continent. It's one of the purposes to change that perception. "

I'm afraid of things I don't know, and I don't know, so I tend to be hostile. It was something that could be said to the people of the demon continent.

Getting to know each other is the first step in the true sense of the word. I wish we could be a bridge between these two continents.

"Come on, let's go to the workshop!" Let's walk in the middle of the road! If you want to convey the goodness of the demon continent, you should stand out, right? "

"No more Asuka! It might be better to stand out, but it doesn't make sense to stand out evil." I'll get in the way, so I have to walk on the edge! "

"Ah, I see. Hmm, it's difficult."

I think there's something better to go ahead with, Asuka. No offense, but we need to make a proper stop!

"With Meg and Asuka, you won't have to worry about that, because you'll stand out even if you don't want to..."

"Yes, just interact normally, that's all."

And that's exactly what Licht and Ronnie said. Because I wear a hood to make it less noticeable. Oh dear, when I saw Asuka laughing in a sigh, my smile was overflowing. It's really a mood maker, isn't it?

"This continent is really crowded, so don't let Meg get away from me or Ronnie or Asuka!"

"Um, even if you get lost, you can find it right away." You can tell by the signs of magic, even in Licht. "

"First of all, it's important not to get lost." Even if you think it's okay, try not to increase your effort..... "

"Hehe, I know!"

A group of four stands out from the crowd. I'm a little worried about that, but I think it's more fun.

Everything was different then. The journey on the human continent, full of expectations and hopes, has only just begun.
