Having had an inspiring reunion, we sat on the couch in the center of the room to get an explanation first. It was a bloody drool when we met again before. Heh. Well endured, I am. I still think that was pretty hard.
"Arsh, I'm sorry..."
"Would it be good? Because then, usually, we can be together in the guild. Hey, Meg?
And I am on the lap of the Demon King. I just happen to be the last one to hug him because he was my father, but I didn't really think we'd start working on it. Real Don't dispute for me, but it has come true... I feel somewhat subtle.
"Hmm, enough, will you start talking to me? It doesn't make a difference if you're a leader or a demon king or a Girnandio..."
That's how Mr. Kay finally cut it out. Absolutely not. We can't talk about this!
"... I'm scared to imagine what all this fuss was about these people when Meg transferred"
"I'll tell you later, Richt"
"Like I want to hear. Like I don't want to hear......!?
Saying that, but picking up Richt's whining, don't derail me, Kay. Wow!? By the way, I've decided not to listen to that. Don't ask, or I won't!
"So let's start with what you guys would be most concerned about. The female adventurer Rabbi, his real name Serrabis, and other members of the organization are now imprisoned in the dungeons of this castle."
Real name Serrabis, huh? Finally, that's what Gordon called Mr. Rabbi, isn't it? Rabbi was a fake name. But Rabbi looks better...
"From the stories of the watchmen and those who interrogated them, they all said they were not willing to resist at all. Sometimes they say the same thing..."
Your father cut the words there and threw his gaze at Chira and Mr. Gill.
"You're not in a state where you can resist to see. Most of them are whitening their hair. Almost no one can answer me when I try to listen to that time. I guess I've experienced so much fear. Gil?"
"... sorry. The enemy couldn't add or subtract."
"No, I just didn't kill anyone. It's great. Me or Arsh wouldn't have done that."
"Well, that was sensible, Lord Gill."
Hearing such a conversation reminds me of the sight of that time, too. Is there really a fear that makes your hair white? I remember seeing it in something when I was in Japan due to extreme stress... but I still don't think there was anything like it all night.
Not to mention it was a moment then. In that moment, many people showed the same symptoms. Thinking that some kind of magic has moved and influenced me is the firmest thing to do. Gil's magical release of a killer that couldn't be added or subtracted... just thinking about it is horrible. In fact, I saw it in front of you!
"So, I heard fragments from people who still have mild symptoms, and they're finally getting the whole tissue. It was almost what I thought it was all about."
The purpose seemed to fit because I was thinking about it. Using us to make money by capturing and selling magical children from the Devil's Continent. Although the plan was crude, the emperor apologized to me that it was the fall of the country that was half as good as it turned out.
By the way, the children of the Devil's Continent who had been captured had already been returned to their parents by their fathers. He also asked the extraordinary guild "Sterla" people to help him, leaving it all to him from the Devil's Continent. Sterla said she had a lot of skilled adventurers and allied herself with Ortus, so she took it on with pleasure when she asked. It is a guild I want to go to once.
And then the people in the organization are still scattered all over the country. Looks like this organization had a system where even if the top was caught, someone would take his place, so he's moving to get a new boss up and catch him before he acts.
You think Gordon was at the top this time, and second was Mr. Rabbi, standing like that? So your father told me that although we are almost driven to destruction, if we leave it alone, the organization will expand again and there will be no more illegal trafficking in human beings.
"We and the people of this continent will have to brace our bellies. In the first place, it was not good for people to come and go between continents. It's just an evil habit, coming from the old custom of using criminals as slaves and islets on another continent. Come on, we should change the system. I am pursuing such discussions with the Emperor."
Yes, it was. So you're saying that old customs have subtly changed shape and are still going on. That's why it's so easy and it's a problem. It was also a big problem that the criminal slaves going through the mines didn't have the means to determine if they did or didn't... but it means that if you refuse people to pass through in the first place, you won't make mistakes either, right?
But I kind of miss that. Does that mean that Richter is going back to the human continent? Even if mining dwarves are not covered, the lack of human interaction is likely to make a huge difference in development between continents.
If you think about it on this global scale, the Devil's Continent is only a few percent of the total, tiny. Wouldn't it be obsolete in no time? It's longevity, it's competent, and I don't think that's gonna happen... but I'm still worried. It's extra bothering because I've lived long enough to see times change.
- But I wasn't the only one who thought that way. After listening carefully, apparently your father had the same idea. Sasu is your father! I know!
"So. I agree with stopping criminals from sending each other. Instead, I'm wondering if we can get competent people to study abroad for a limited time."
Study abroad system! That's good! Then you can protect magical children who happen to be born on the human continent, or those who don't want much, but who have metastasized like your father and Richter! Study the use of witchcraft and make use of it to work on the human continent.
From the side of the Devil's Continent, it's good to go study about human life and making things… more importantly, to feel the breadth of this world, perhaps the biggest. By going to various countries and touching different cultures, a new world may spread. A life where you can't use magic much, that's going to be a good experience!
"Naturally, we'll have to make some kind of fine decision. Those who study abroad have to pass the exam, or it's funds, and some people have to take care of them while they study abroad."
"Hmm, do you go for learning? You can bring back each other's culture. It's meaningful. Much better than a slave."
With bills, there seems to be plenty to decide whether or not to have mine dwarves distinguish them or when to introduce them. He seems to like this system and listens seriously to his father. Oh, you're a proper demon king!
"You've always been obsessed with stories. Let's get the emperor together and pack up the story. So you guys."
Bread, and one hand, your father switches stories. Then he puts his arm on his knees and rides himself out and tells us with a gentle look.
"Time to go see the dungeon? Richt, to your benefactor."
Ready for your heart? And to his father, who had asked to care, Richt, Ronnie, and my three nodded once, eye-opening and then all together.
