Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 224: Doubt and Dissolution

"So, for the record, what about those two guys that Illis caught?

Asked how Lulu said it was quick, Orotos replied.

"That's... what a hard place."

Orotos arms up with a troubled look.

Lulu urged the continuation.

"What do you mean?

"The winged girl... became very cooperative. No, I'd have answered more or less anything from the beginning, but it's not necessary. Much appreciated for helping the rats... well, now they're friendly for some reason"

"Isn't that a problem then? Hear everything you can..."

But Orotos shook his head at Lulu's words.

"I told you I would have answered everything in the first place if I had asked. I mean, I don't know much about it. At best, we only know the story about her people and the name of the gray-haired girl we caught this time."

Which means I didn't originally have any significant information.

But still, the harvest would just have been better.

"When I say her people...... do you mean those giants and youth?

Iris asked.

There were three main types of people who appeared in large numbers on the battlefield: the giant and the youth and the girl, but what Illis is talking about is the young man who was making the kind of move to govern them, and that giant who was still able to capture them.

Orotos replied.

"Oh, yeah. As far as she's concerned, she doesn't seem to have much of a sense of companionship when it comes to other types of people. He seemed to feel a strong bond with only those two. Each said that the youth had better glasses and the giants had better goliath. Well, the name was something I could have told the first person... but this time I heard her again, I found it surprising"

Orotos looks harder than before.

Then,

"I'd like to keep this to myself..."

and foreboding, so everyone who was on the spot nodded.

Orotos confirms it and then speaks.

"That girl... Aero, but she, Glass, and Goliath... and it's the core of the story about where the humans came from, but according to Aero's story, they were originally demons, apparently..."

About this, Claude and Moitz were also the first ears, apparently.

Stick your amazement in your face and say each.

"Demons, so...? Can that be like, the Beast Clan (Animazeas)......?

"I've lived a long time, but I've never heard of that... No, on second thought..."

Moitz looks like he thought of something all the time.

Orotos seemed to know that, too, and said in the words of Moitz.

"Master Moitz is right...... we know one similar case. Lord Barbara and Lord Shzon."

Everyone on the spot nodded at this.

But Lulu and Claude had different meanings for their snorts.

Lulu and the others just nodded about the fact that there was such a fact, but Claude and Moitz were very bad facts.

The meaning of that expression seems well understood to Orotos.

"... the Lulu and the others don't seem to be... but Master Claude and Mr. Moitz seem to have noticed."

I said and saw the two faces.

Claude opens his mouth.

"Is it... about the possibility that Lord Barbara and the Shzons... the demons of the Logsuela Mountains were guru with those girls?

Lulu and the others were surprised to hear that.

It is natural, however, that such speculation emerges when you think about it.

People and demons are hostile in the first place, and the demons in the Final and Logséra Mountains have been in that relationship for years.

During this time, it is always in your mind to turn to your enemies as well, rather than simply believing from the bottom of your mind because you have entered into a cooperative relationship.

Especially as being in a position to protect finals, like the Claudes.

Orotos nodded at Claude's words, but he didn't even seem to think like Claude had said.

"I can't rule out that possibility, I think, too. But perhaps not."

"Is that... why? I have a problem with people saying,"

I feel sorry for Moitz, I said so.

In one way or another, I guess Moitz thinks in about five fifths.

But he also seemed to think that it should take suspicion to think only of the information that is now available.

When that happens, you're going to have been betrayed shortly after you entered into a cooperative relationship, and I guess it's the look on your face because you sympathized with Orotos like that.

Besides, even as an Adventurers Union (guild), it's not very good news.

Maybe he was feeling sorry for himself in every way.

But even under such Moitz's gaze, Orotos still shook his head.

"It's not about surveying. Well, if you say you don't feel like believing it, you're lying... but you two must have heard it. Both Lord Barbara and Lord Shzon said that... the art of humanization can only be a demon with more than some power."

When Szón was humanized, they had some explanation.

Some of them were commentaries like that.

Both Moitz and Claude nod.

But that's the only face I have.

Moitz said.

"... it may be something that any demon can do... and even if it isn't, it doesn't need that much higher strength."

"Sure you're right...... here's another piece of information I got from the girl, who was originally a demon but can't go back to being a demon anymore, you say. Including that... I think we should still think about Lord Barbara and the girl as a completely different force."

To this Orotos word, Claude asks.

"Can't go back to the demon...... does that mean it's been like that forever?

"Yeah. You've all heard that humanization is a kind of magic trick. Then, if you lose your magic, it's a reason to solve it, but that girl stays that way long after you grab her. This is the story I heard directly from Lord Shuzon, that even she is tough to keep that state for more than two days. I need to go back to being a demon once, he said. If it is Lord Barbara, it will be possible to stay that way, but she is an ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon). I guess comparing it to the demons around there is a problem. Given the strength of that girl, it seems that she was certainly a powerful demon, but it's hard to imagine that she was as good as an ancient dragon (enchanted dragon)..."

If you are an ancient dragon (enchanted dragon), if you care about it, you can blow it away with a blow, such as the city of Finals.

If you consider that you were using wind magic or something without doing it, you should assume that Orotos is right, not so much.

Claude and Moitz were also convinced by this Orotos explanation, apparently.

"Lord Shzon and Lord Barbara can be people from demons, and they can disagree with that. Maintaining a person's appearance for a very long time is impossible, right? And when that happens... that girl has been a person for too long... can you at least say that the humanization of Lord Barbara is technically different from that of that girl"

When Moitz put it together, Orotos nodded as well.

"Exactly. Therefore, there is no need to doubt the Barbaras."

"I know exactly what you mean. But I'm glad you didn't have to suspect the ancient dragons without darkness..."

And Claude shrugged like relieved.

After all, as far as he was concerned, it seemed to be a rather horrifying fact that the Barbaras would go around the enemy.

"In the first place, there were times when even demons were hostile and fighting each other, so I wouldn't have immediately talked about being a guru even if they were using the same technology... but that's the only thing that makes suspicion hardly go into it, I'm thankful. But then...... the question deepens as to who those girls are. Lord Barbara and I need you to meet them once and ask them for their opinions."

said Moitz.

"I'm thinking about that, too. But first, to Lulu and the others, I thought... I'm sorry, it's been a long forethought. I thought it would be inappropriate to get suspicion like this in, so I was trying to get rid of it here... you guys didn't really think about that kind of possibility, did you?

and Orotos turned to the Lulu's.

"Bye. I can see that it's a completely different technology. The Barbaras had signs of sorcery, but those girls had very little to say so..."

To this answer of Lulu, Orotos had a frightened face,

"I don't usually know just seeing it...... in fact, I didn't know it, and I couldn't spot it by the Mages of the Adventurers Union (Alliance). Some participants in the final conference also had quite a bit of magic training, but I still didn't know...... How do you know that?

Suspicious, rather than simply asking questions, I guess you're actually right.

Lulu says with his hands open.

"I don't care why. All I can say is that's what makes training different. And Iris and Zoe. You got it, right?

When Lulu asked, Illis nodded, but Zoe has a face close to Orotos' expression.

Then Zoe tells Orotos.

"These two are a little..." mundane ”weird measure, so I hope you don't mind too much. Those who have the power to spot signs of witchcraft like the first time they've seen a boulder at a glance are not..."

to Zoe's words. Orotos said,

"Again, I guess... Well, if you have that kind of magical arm that blew up the human form and the demons, maybe you can... you can't usually do it..."

"Dear Zoe, you can't even... and yet these two..."

Moitz's jaw seems to be coming off, too, but Claude seems to have been a little concerned.

I've always asked like I thought of it.

"Hey, Lulu"

"What?

"That's... even my brother, can't you?

Claude's brother is Shui Relieve, a premier adventurer.

As a magician, you can go beyond first-rate and say super first-rate.

Besides, he's either a scholarly temperament person.

There is also considerable merit in that regard.

I also know you're wondering if that's something he can't even do.

Lulu gives a little thought to this before answering.

"Be Shui... can you do it?

and.

Nothing to flatter or joke about, it was probably the answer I thought I could really do.

Anyway, he has the protection of the Spirit.

The magic of humanization shows signs of normal sorcery for what Barbara and the various spirits gather around it in an easy way for those who can see the spirits.

But I don't see anything Aero said that at all.

Instead, the Spirit even feels distant from her.

Shui couldn't have seen it, and I thought it would be natural to know that it was different.

Claude seems convinced by that,

"... are you doing this on a brother level... Well, that's not normal..."

And I said blurry.

Moitz hears and says it.

"Do you say Shui-Relieve is a good magician...... because it's almost at its peak. There will be fewer things he can't do, but the fact that you can't tell if you haven't gotten there... how advanced technology is that? Humanization, I say."

That voice sounds like something unfortunate, and Lulu asks wondering what's wrong.

"Anything to spare?

Then Moitz shook his head slowly,

"No, it's not a big deal. Flush it..."

I said, but then it was what I call a human being that bothered me to reject it.

It would be a problem to be too persistent, but I don't feel like answering otherwise either.

I don't care because it doesn't matter, because it feels like telling me, so I'd rather tell you to talk.

"You'll be concerned. What's the matter with you?

It doesn't seem to be an important enough story to be told and hidden, and Moitz told me to laugh bitterly.

"No...... what would a seaman like me (Aquarius) say, you would have a bit of a big body?

"Oh, well, you are"

Big enough to say it's huge, on the contrary.

Because it's about the size of a table for people (human beings).

Moitz continued.

"So if I could use the technique of humanization... I thought a little bit about it."

"Uh...?

"Lord Shzon and Lord Barbara will have as much body as I do or bigger than that, won't they? The art of humanization is to reduce the size of the body and make it easier to turn around. It's going to be just the right disguise... because sometimes I can sneak around and travel..."

Apparently he was thinking of diverting the magic of humanization to mankind.

If I could certainly do that, there was likely to be a good deal of demand.

It seemed like a treasure that some seamen (Aquarius) had no legs, and in that case they could be the general figure.

Now something should have been done with the use of special magic equipment, etc.

Then I can't even adjust the size of my body.

When I heard what Moitz said, I thought about it, and Lulu says goodbye.

"... If it's good, why don't we study it? With Barbara's help, we might be able to develop something that people can use."

Then Moitz was very happy to

"Thank you very much!

So he took Lulu's hand and shook it.
