Yomigaeri no Maou

"The rest... is it about that man? Bernfriet-Kepler. Who the hell is that?

When Illis asks so, Sophie answers as she tilts her neck.

"Oh, that's him. Don't get in trouble when they ask you that."

"And say?

"Honestly, I don't really know who I am either. He said... it's ridiculous, but he said he was an" ancient demon "or something... believe me?

Sophie talked about Bernfleet in a tone that struck me.

To the Word, Iris, and Lulu and Zoe will be indescribable faces.

Because the three of you know that even if you believe me, you're not an ancient demon, no matter how you look at it.

And it is one of the reasons why those three are precisely ancient demons.

Nonetheless, that's what Sophie is asking, meaning she knows it's a lie without having to decide if it's true or not.

Yet here are three people, who are undoubtedly ancient demons.

It was in the honest minds of the three of them that they wondered how to describe this situation and whether it was as funny as it sounded.

But you can't talk like that.

I don't know who believes where I name it, because I can't help talking about that here and making the place chaotic.

What we need is a story about who this girl is and why she became Bernfleet.

It's not the Lulu's.

Iris went on to ask the question without reflecting the movement of his mind, which he said so, particularly on his face.

"... you won't believe it. But you were in a cooperative relationship with that man, weren't you? At least, he was trying to confuse the Logsuela Mountains, just like you."

"Bye. I'm pretty sure we worked together. It's just... it's not like I'm the one. The guy just told me to take him from Chrisansee. No matter how good I am, there are limits to what I can do alone. Someone needed help. In that regard, the man can reach the itch, that was the good fellow. He was the one who didn't talk too much about himself. Yeah, I used to talk a lot about myself being an ancient demon. But... as I said, I don't have that kind of congratulatory head. I thought maybe it was just a joke or some reason you don't want to tell me who you really are."

"Did you often feel like working with a guy like that?

"Even if they say so... because they're telling me to do so from above. If you're in the Adventurers' Union, you know what I mean. No matter how much you think you don't like it in your heart, if you're ordered, you'll know. It's just, well, I didn't like it. He was brilliant. He had a lot of skills... and he was a useful guy. My guess is, isn't he a fellow at the Instruction Laboratory in Crisanse? He seemed like a scholar, and the details and ideas of magic theory were out of the group."

and Sophie spoke funny.

If this is also an act, it's a big deal, but Illis isn't the only one who judges it.

Iris goes on because there is no particular dissatisfaction even from those who are outside the prison.

"So you don't know anything about him, is that okay?

"I hope so. If you want to know what he was up to, there's an answer. I had demon control done primarily with those guys you guys call human shapes. It wasn't under his control about Glass, Goliath and Aero, though. I was going to raise it and use it, so don't put any shackles on it, and give it my thinking skills. After all, it all went to waste. It was a total failure about Aero..."

It was so crushing Sophie, but to be exact, one Aero is alive.

But you won't have to explain that to him.

Now we can say that it's less likely that Aero will suddenly be manipulated by Sophie.

If you don't know about survival, you shouldn't even think about manipulating it.

Aero's cell and Sophie's cell are quite apart for that reason.

And there was an atmosphere where I could hear more or less important things.

The question of whether or not you are telling the truth remains, but it will only be necessary for the Adventurers' Union (Guild) and the Leonard Kingdom-based intelligence service to ascertain its authenticity.

As he was lying, in that case it would mean that Sophie was hiding something from him, but I was wondering if he was ever willing to talk about what that truth was.

"... Isn't there something behind it or something?

and even if Illis turns to water,

"I don't care if they say so. I told you the first time. I can only answer what I know. You want to try torture me for anything?

And because Sophie just laughs.

Iris had seen people behave like this several times.

There were two types of prisoners to it: prisoners who really talked about everything and no longer had any hiding at all, and prisoners who were prepared to hide the truth but never talk about it no matter what.

If Sophie was asked which of these two the hell it was, I felt close to the latter, albeit only on account.

That's why I felt this was impossible.

It is not for Illis to hear any more.

I also wondered if it might be difficult for a professional craftsman.

"... if you don't mind, we'll do the interrogation as long as you seize it...?

and an interrogator waiting outside the prison said, Orotos stops before Illis responds.

"No, you'll have had enough. It became clear about the core. I still need to hear the details...... are you going to answer the question without Illis?

It is a girl who has never tried to answer anything before.

It is easy to imagine that as soon as the threat of Illis is gone, we will return to it all again.

Sophie answered Orotos' question, which had such meaning.

"Ha. I guess I'll bring this woman in when I didn't talk anyway. Then I'll tell him from the beginning. Where's the guy who likes it on purpose and wants to be held up by such a monster?"

The word feels like Sophie's honest feelings are in it, and, well, then there won't have to be an Iris presence in the future, it will be.

Sophie has powerful physical abilities, but they are not enough to break the prison.

It was considered sufficient to keep several magicians on standby and to exercise the usual vigilance of carrying out intensive shelling in the event of an attempt to come out.

"Anyone else want to... ask?

When Orotos asked mainly Claude and Moitz, they both shook their heads slowly as they couldn't think of it now.

But Lulu opens his mouth.

"There's one."

"What's that?

Orotos urged, so Lulu answered.

"This guy cared about holiness. I wonder where the hell you got that technology."

and.

But Orotos, Claude, and Moitz don't seem to come very pinned.

"Sacred Chi... are you saying...?

Moitz asked, so Lulu answers.

"Even the head of the Northern Union (Kvar Master) doesn't know...?

That indicates that, after all, it may not be common technology in this era.

And that leads to the speculation that there might be something to do with the modern Virgin and Sophie who use the Holy Qi.

So far, Lulu and the others have only known two decent figures of Holy Spirit: the Virgin and Sophie.

It's nothing strange to think that there might be any involvement.

Lulu explains to Moitz.

"Holy Qi… is, in short, the power to greatly attenuate or extinguish witchcraft and hence magic.

"Oh my God, a lot of magic......!? Isn't that a terrible force?"

Modern swordsmen and magicians basically combine tactics based on magic.

Given that, you can say that attenuating and extinguishing magic is tantamount to a nightmare through horror.

"Ah. Those who can use holy spirit are almost invincible against magicians. Of course, there's a way to counter it, but if you don't know, you won't be able to do anything and you'll be defeated. It's just that, as far as I can tell, I've only seen this Sophie with the Virgin of Arca Holy Country. I talked to him because I thought there might be others... like this, no?

Ask the three that Lulu would be familiar with many circumstances on the spot.

Then Claude told an interesting story, albeit a little troubled.

"... that's not like the divine art used by the classes of high priests... is there?

Lulu heard here for the first time the existence of the art of divinity,

So while I shake my head, I answer.

"No... I don't know, what's that all about?

I have met the priesthood several times.

but I have hardly met any high priests yet.

To be exact, I only met a goddess named Morgan once at the Asuos mine.

I heard that the cleric was a fairly high-ranking cleric, but I didn't use theology.

I should have just been using powerful swordsmanship and witchcraft.

Claude answered Lulu's question.

"I've heard that divinity... is a kind of magic that can only be used by powerful clerics, a secret technique passed down to some historic religious communities. The cleric who explained it to me said it had a strong healing power... a power that could also be a light to defeat the demon."

"That cleric, why did he explain that to you? It's a secret technology, isn't it?

secret technology, if that is the case, it is convincing that, in small ways, Lulu did not even ask his name when he examined modern sorcery.

Mainly because it was the book that was hitting me.

However, isn't it paradoxical that you're describing such a thing to Claude?

Claude answers with a nod, as convinced, that he thought so and asked.

"I'm healthy now, but I used to be sick. I used to fall asleep... but once, I got a little bit sick or incurable or something like that."

That content, which I began to speak in a mild tone, was a rather heavy story.

It's hard to imagine that there was such a time in the light atmosphere Claude, but I can't help but lie here.

I guess it's true.

Claude continued.

"Whatever you do, it won't heal. No matter how much you called a healer, no matter how much you looked for a pharmacist, you couldn't find a way to fix it. Yeah, that's it, or my life, as much as I thought. There was really nothing I could do. After that, I thought God would ask me to stay, so I went to church with my father. What religion? I don't know what it was...... for now I noticed that at that time, that's a proper church not too much of a crack, but not too much. It's a religion, because it's not something we still believe in. It was appropriate. But... this was a big win."

Unlike in the past, modernity does not have only one religion sweeping people (human beings).

There are different religions, each building churches and temples to gather believers.

Naturally, there are many different ways to build churches and temples, but some of them, as Claude put it, are strangely cumbersome or too muddy again.

Whatever it was, it would mean that the latter, anyway, didn't feel like entering the former building.

And is it that the latter building is anxious in terms of benefits?

Well, I can't tell you anything about human feelings like that because I wouldn't know if I didn't actually try.

"It just so happens that it was the day a high priest came to patrol the temple. He asked me what my medical condition was and healed me. The way to do this is to use divine art... my father and I had an explanation. Divine art is not so safe a way to temporarily attenuate the magic of a creature, but now it is the only way. If you still want to get that cure, come to the back of the temple."

"So?"

"I guess having me here proves that the divinity worked. I don't remember much detail, but the cleric used divinity on me when I was put to sleep in the back of the temple. The cleric was blurry and glowing at the time, and the light wrapped my body... and when I realized it was healing. Sure, for a while, it seems the magic was in a pretty thin state... but it wasn't enough to die. I hear it was a mild magic drain."
