Yomigaeri no Maou

Question from the King.

The answer was decided from the beginning.

For that reason, Lulu and Illis went to the Martial Arts Games.

Along the way, there were more aims, more incidents, various things, but not the main purpose.

What Lulu wants, only a king will be able to fulfill, that hope.

Lulu said.

"… Your Majesty the King. What I want is access to the Royal Palace's forbidden library and permission to view the forbidden books."

The words were picked up with loudspeakers and echoed throughout the arena.

Then, on purpose, the arena is engulfed in an unspeakable atmosphere.

Speaking of kings, he looked strange.

Then with that expression intact voice, he says.

"... are you sure that's good? You don't care about nobility, territory, money, or high-ranking magic equipment, do you? I say if you also want to get privileges etc you can get... access to a forbidden library, permission to view forbidden books, is that enough?

That seems to be the case in the King's perception.

He himself, I'm sure, has entered the Royal Palace's library at his own feet and browsed its collection, but there may have been nothing particularly interesting about its contents.

But for Lulu, important information may be there.

If that's the case, you have to show it to me once and for all.

So Lulu answers.

"Yes. To me, that's more valuable than anything else. I just wanted to ask you a favor."

To Lulu like that, the king looked like a clap,

"... Hmm. I don't mind at all... but depending on the content, there is no part of the Royal Family that is of great concern. Later, confidentiality, etc. will be filled with details… we will admit to entering the forbidden library and browsing itself."

That's what I said and nodded.

The audience seemed to feel somewhat like a shoulder watermark in the clap, subtlety of Lulu's desire, and the subtle air that couldn't even cheer filled the arena, but Shui and Uvezd were the two of them.

"Le, lulu-kun! If you have any interesting information about witchcraft or history, please let me know!! Pay the price!!

"Not even for Non! As for history, magic! Anyway, if I had any information about the unknown sorcery. Mmm!!

and so on and so on.

I guess that means they have a good understanding of the value of the Royal Forbidden Library.

Seeing as they were so desperate to scream at Lulu, the extraordinaire adventurer, it seems well understood that the audience also demanded something special that Lulu could understand.

Inside the arena, which was indescribably subtle air, there was cheer that after they shouted so, Lulu chose something interesting without wanting a simple title or money.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... with this, we conclude the 700th Wangdu Martial Arts Games! Finally, a big round of applause and cheer to the heroes who fought this tournament!!

Anger and cheer overshadowed the arena.

Fireworks by non-lethal sorcery fly, as if they were a festival.

It is clear that all the contestants in Wang Du who are about to finish the competition, and the audience, will be filled beyond full capacity.

The night of the king's capital is coming.

Lulu, who had missed such an audience leaving the arena, looks back soundly.

"Lord Lulu... His Majesty the King calls for you. Can you come?

Seriously, but full of tension, it doesn't feel like it.

Coming from the fact that they both fought the ancient dragons (enchanted dragons), feelings like comrades of war had arisen between Lulu and Romeo.

Lulu nods to Romeo's words and answers.

"Yes, I understand... uh, where is His Majesty the King?

When I looked around, at some point His Majesty the King was gone.

Well, there's nothing left to do.

Besides, like the martial arts contestants and Kingsguard knights like a sculpture of strength and magic, you won't be able to afford it.

Of all the things that happened, maybe the king needed a little rest.

It's just that I'm going to be talking to Lulu, so the rest of it will be short.

to Lulu's words. Romeo said,

"Yeah. There's a special room for royalty, so I'll show you there. Come here......"

Lulu gets to Romeo when told.

Just before entering the arena building, I looked in the audience and almost all the audiences were behind the scene already.

All that remains in the arena are dozens of spectators at best and the remains of ancient dragons (enchanted dragons).

Before I told him to give me all the material, I was wondering what would happen to that carcass after this, and Lulu asked Romeo, and he answered.

"To some extent, even though it's foggy, it's a stored material of a lot of magic. Leaving it like that won't start corruption for a while, so I'm thinking in the direction of leaving it like this until tomorrow. I don't mind if Lord Lulu takes it home...?

I appreciate the consideration, but I can't take it home with me to the boulder.

Around it's not impossible with the help of the Illis, I feel like I don't know, but I'm not willing to do something that evil stands out.

Besides, as for Lulu, Romeo's words were a ship across the street because he was going to suggest that we leave him here until tomorrow for now.

"No, not at all. As planned, it would be helpful if you could leave it until tomorrow. After that..."

With the help of his family (Klan) "Explorer of the Age (Elam Kupidr)", he dismantled it. There is much work to be done, but a little thought led Romeo to the help boat.

"If you don't have any particular hope, we'll arrange for you to dismantle it, right? I will leave it to the artisans of the royal palace, so if you don't like it... of course, I won't pay for it."

If you ask me, it seems the king meant to promise me that much.

He just said he was going to do the ancient dragon (enchanted dragon) material, not process it for easy use and give it to me.

As much as I appreciate it because of everything I've done.

So Lulu answered.

"So can you do me a favor? Because I can feel it dragging that size thing to my home on a boulder."

From Lulu's tone, you must have found that to be a joke.

Romeo laughed funny.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Well done, Lulu"

The king greeted Lulu by sitting on the couch in the special viewing room.

I immediately recommend Lulu to take a seat face-to-face, and he looks very casual.

During the battle with the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) and at the awards ceremony, the ease was felt slightly, but so far it was not obvious, and Lulu ate a little.

To such a look of Lulu, King Leonard smiled,

"If it's not an official place, let alone a place you know you don't have the eyes of others, it's like this. I want you to treat me without straining yourself too much. If I could, I would appreciate it if you would forget the fact that Nong is the king, etc., and hang out as a friend...?

"No, to the boulder it is..."

Lulu immediately says no.

Because even the boulder Lulu knows exactly what is disrespectful.

Sure, I was once a demon king, but now I am only the first subordinate nobleman of the kingdom of Leonard.

Yet it's already anomalous that I talk to kings so often, but in addition to that, I felt somewhat bad that I even started dating friends.

Just because Lulu behaved like that, treating my father Patrick in an evil way or something, he's a fair king who's unlikely to do that, but that's why there would be limits to being forgiven, I thought.

In front of the building.

I don't know how far I've read such Lulu's thoughts, but the king kept talking without breaking his smile.

"Hmm... shall we strike a hand around the area, especially the aristocrats who are benevolent... so, Lulu, that's why I called you here..."

Stop that, too, Lulu, I tried to tell you, but the king has just moved on, so it ends indescribably.

Lulu didn't miss seeing Lulu, who had no choice but to give up, as Romeo and Ias, the two Kingsguard knights who were on the spot, laughed bitterly.

I guess that means this is what the king is.

Should I say an inedible man, or what?

Well, give up, okay, and Lulu decides to listen.

"It's about ancient dragons (enchanted dragons). Did Romeo tell you earlier about the treatment?

"Yes, you can leave it in the arena until tomorrow and dismantle it again..."

"That's right. Where should I have it delivered for the material that was later dismantled?

"Well, my family (Klan)" Explorer of the times (Elam Kupidr) "or off the streets..."

Explain the location of your home by saying.

The king nodded and confirmed to Romeo.

Sometimes Romeo's hands grasp something like note writing, and he writes something there.

It would be the location of Lulu's home.

I've been to Lulu's house once, so I don't even seem to be listening back.

"Okay, this will do for the material...... so, here's the point. Lulu, do you have any idea what caused that ancient dragon to appear?

That's what the outgoing asked me, and Lulu's expression moved perfectly.

I didn't mean to hide it in particular, so it's okay, but I didn't think the king would ask me that.

After all, they will know that the cause of the emergence of ancient dragons (enchanted dragons) is probably metastatic magic, and because it is a modern value that there is usually no such thing as someone who knows who can use something like metastatic magic.

However, Lulu did have an idea of who he thought would have used that metastatic magic.

It is obvious because it is clearly confirmed with its eyes.

So Lulu said honestly what he understood, without feeling anything in particular.

"There is. On the contrary... I saw it with these eyes"

Believe this word or not, it is the king's freedom.

Normally, you wouldn't believe it.

Because metamagic is used, and then the intervention Lulu made is impossible for modern magicians.

But the king seems to have been unusual around here.

"... Hmm. Right. So, who was it?

Maybe I thought I'd say it for now, but it's still an unexpected reaction.

Lulu says honestly.

"of Holy Divinity… I am the Virgin"

The king was not the only one who reacted to the word.

Romeo and Ias, the Kingsguard knights who refrain from behind, also frown and say, "Again..." "That woman..." etc.

And the king,

"I guess so here, I was thinking. That's how I feel surprised to be unequivocally assured. By the way, I ask, how did you witness the Virgin?

That would naturally be of concern.

But is it something you can fulfill and honestly believe?

As he patrolled, the king urged.

"As for what you told me here, I swear to God I'll keep it in my chest. However, Non wants certainty... even if the knights of our country were caught during the martial arts tournament, the Virgin's leaps and thoughts have been confirmed... but there is no certainty. Maybe, it's just that. Informally or individually, if you can be sure about it, the way things are going to be handled will change. Please, can you tell me? What did you see?"

That was a word close to a plea.

It was not a word the king would say to the lower noblemen.

But that's why Lulu wondered if I should say it.

I don't want to talk as much as I can about the magic Lulu can use, even though the reasoning seems to get to that detail.

But Lulu was unwilling to take the option of saying he wouldn't talk about that time here.

So, says Lulu.

"… I possess the technique of exploring traces after its activation against metastatic magic"

Both the king and the Kingsguard knights peeled their eyes at the words.

It is also natural.

Even metastatic magic is a very rare, legendary technique, and you say you can intervene against it.

So the king asked.

"... is that true?

"It's a fact. I have confirmed by that technique that the person who sent the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) into the arena using metastatic magic is the Virgin. And..."

"And?"

"I got a little bit of pain in my eyes...... sorry to hear that. I wondered if there might be a diplomatic problem with her on her way home from the Kingdom of Leonard, but there was something I couldn't contain..."

To Lulu, who said that with all due respect, both the king and the Kingsguard knight smiled step by step, and then said:

"No, Lulu. That's fine. If that Virgin was the killer, they would have liked to reward her with one arrow... if she had lost her life on her way home to the boulder, the Virgin would have been treated like a hero in Arca Holy Country, which could have been quite problematic... but she wouldn't be dead?

"Yes...... I have inflicted some suffering to the extent that I think I might need to lay low on the floor for a while, but I won't be the first to die. They're not far away. They're going to be fine."

"Then I don't mind. Rather well done... but the Virgin... what did he want after all..."

Yes, the king groaned arrowhead, and the door to the special viewing room was knocked.
