Yomigaeri no Maou

"- So, where are you going? Are you going back to Wang Du?

Claude has asked, so Lulu answers.

"I haven't made up my mind yet, but mostly you're about to go to Wang Du or go west. I'm leaving some errands for Wang Du, and the West... wants to go to the Enchanted Empire."

"What are you doing here?

You cared, Claude leans his neck.

Lulu answers honestly because it's not about hiding either.

"I haven't received the prize for the fight yet. I'm going to let you browse the books in the forbidden library."

To the words, Claude opens his eyes to show surprise.

"Is the forbidden library royal?

"Yes, yes."

Lulu, who nodded gently and expressed his consent, but Claude had a serious voice,

"They didn't let me go over there no matter how much my brother asked for... well, is it reasonable as a prize for a martial arts competition?

say.

Moitz shook his head slowly at the words,

"No, the Royal Forbidden Library, which is not only in the Kingdom of Leonard, but also in other countries, is usually not allowed to be viewed externally, no matter what. Anyway, it seems rare that books in the forbidden library contain matters that are sincerely inconvenient to royalty and hence to that nation. Even in the kingdom of Leonard, which is supposed to“ make a wish come true ”as a product of a martial arts tournament, it can be said that permits are in themselves unusual. Is that all Lord Lulu is trusted... or is there something else?

That's what I said profoundly.

I suppose you smell that something else might be in place to prevent the contents of the forbidden library books from being leaked.

I mean, I doubt the existence of contract magic like I put on Gran or Humis.

And that's not unlikely.

Maybe if you put it in the forbidden library, it will automatically take it, or maybe you'll be asked to preempt it when you get in.

Well, I don't know about that, but I'm not trying to tell anyone anything, I'm just saying I want to know the facts about past history, so even if I did, I wouldn't have a problem.

"I don't know which one it is, but it's probably the latter? My father's in quite a position in the country, but that would be a thin reason to trust me to the point. Or maybe I don't have a big book."

As I said, I don't know if I did, Lulu thought.

And that seems most likely.

At all times, the history of the human race (human) is altered by the winner, and it is unlikely that the books in the forbidden library are written on the basis of history that said so too.

"If so, I also feel it makes less sense to make it forbidden..."

To Moitz's words, I say.

"Simply, it could be because of the high value of the book or something. If you don't try to get in, I'll keep you guessing."

"Really... If you see the contents of the books in the forbidden library, can you tell me what they are because I wish I could?

I don't know if this word is from personal interest or as a heavy town in the Adventurers' Union (Guild), but either way you'll want to hear it.

As far as I'm concerned, I don't have a problem with that, but I can't do that if I can stop it from the country.

So that's what the answer will be.

"I wish I could. If they stop me, I can't talk."

"Yeah, that's fine."

Did Moitz know that, too, and pulled back lightly?

Then, when Lulu,

"Is Claude good?

When asked, Claude said,

"Because knowing too much about the country's secrets is going to be a problem if you're in my position. I decide not to ask you there."

say.

That kind of judgment would be possible.

You may have secrets that you don't dare tell your domestic nobles.

Knowing that, you're probably concerned that it might make it harder for you to move back.

Then Claude quickly changed the story and followed.

"... so why do you want to go to the Enchanted Empire? Because I knew you were wondering about Sophie or something?

"There's that too. but I got some information that someone I know might be there, you know. I want to go see him."

That's what Barbara taught me.

It appears to be in a febrile dense forest (Rihalatka zounkla), inside an ancient demonic establishment.

If you go, there is a high probability that Van will be near Lulu's side.

It's worth a go.

But there's no problem. But it's not.

"An acquaintance of mine to the Demon Guided Empire...? You've been torn apart a long time again. I know you do, but the kingdom of Leonard and the Enchanted Empire are not friends. Leonard, the Kingdom ID doesn't make it that easy to get into the Enchanted Empire."

To Lulu's words, Claude frowned and snapped so.

It is clear from Sophie's actions that she wants to strike the Kingdom of Leonard.

Regardless of what attitude you have politically, as a matter of fact, I would be sure to say that the Kingdom of Leonard and the Demon Conductor Empire are unfriendly.

And Claude's words are that we know each other in such unfamiliar countries, because it's a rare story.

If it is difficult to go from kingdom to empire, the opposite is also difficult.

Yet......, I guess.

But Lulu and Van were divided in the first place before Leonard and Chrisansee existed in the world, not feeling torn apart by unfriendly nations.

Of course, I can't explain such a story, so I duly flush out about the reasons for the division and move on to the means of entering the empire.

"That's where we're in trouble. Somehow, I was wondering if it was something I couldn't legally get into... anything?

Lulu asked Claude and Moitz that.

The two have quite a bit of power, and many acquaintances.

It was therefore a question of wondering if you had any idea about such a method.

To this, Claude,

"If it's an illegal way, don't float some... but you only want to get in legally, right?

"If you're more strict, that sounds good if you look objective and legal. Look it up, but if you don't know it's illegal..."

To this word, Claude conceived, but Moitz says rush.

"Then I can't say it out loud, how about forgery of ID, etc?

It's something I said lightly, but it's a criminal act to think about normally.

It shouldn't be that easy, either, but Moitz continued.

"As you know, I'm the head of the Northern Union (North Master) of the Leonard Kingdom Adventurers Union (Guild), so it's not an impossible story if you want to. We don't even have adventurers hiding their qualities to clear up some kind of request...... in that case, we may issue a forged adventurer ID. I was wondering if I could even enter the Demonic Empire..."

It's a pretty hell of a story, but it does look objectively legal if it does, and I can't tell it's fake because it's an Adventurer ID delivered by the Adventurers Union itself, even if I look into it.

I could say that I have answered all Lulu's orders.

But the problem is......

"Is that what you want me to do?

As Lulu asked, even though it's a heavy town in the Adventurers Union (Guild), can we do that?

But Moitz shook his head,

"Master Zoe owes me quite a lot, so that much... Besides, this is something I've only done for trusted adventurers."

"What do you mean?

"... that it will only be done against those who have the strength to not be able to get rid of their original identities so easily, or even rarely be able to secure their identity. In that regard, Lord Lulu and the others would have no problems in the latter sense."

There was a problem in the former sense, it was a line that said, but the feeling wouldn't be a mistake, Zoe thinks.

Lulu didn't realize the subtle way of saying it.

Because I think I have a lot of common sense.

But Zoe knew very well that it was her fault.

"If that's the case...... can you ask?

And Lulu said, Moitz nodded,

"Yeah, no problem. However, there are so many procedures that once you can come to the headquarters of the Leonard Kingdom Adventurers Union (Guild)? It's in the underground city of Teram Nadia..."

Lulu knew once and for all that the Adventurers Union (Guild) headquarters was there.

But I've never been there.

And so is Illis.

But Lulu asks, wondering what about Zoe.

"Has Zoe been there?

Zoe shakes her head on this question.

"I don't. I know it's been around for a long time, but I didn't have any business to go to..."

To this word, Moitz seemed careless,

"I've asked him to come a few times, but he turned it all down"

I said.

But soon afterwards,

"Now that you're here, this is going to be a sad thing to accomplish."

And laugh.

Just fine, not so, but the underground city of Teram Nadia is west from the finals.

We're on the way to the Demon Guided Empire, and it doesn't even seem like time is going to be wasted.

But Lulu and I are not in a hurry to travel or anything, so I don't mind wasting any time at all.

"Then... does that mean the next destination is the west? You can go to Wang Du... and you'll have to do it twice."

When Lulu told Iris and Zoe, and Nina, the three of them snorted.

In the first place, it's the two of us who don't first go against Lulu's intentions and Nina, who basically thinks nothing.

There couldn't have been more opposite voices than there were no major problems.

"- So the destination was decided to the west. Should we go to Teram Nadia first and wait?

I thought Moitz would probably still have a job in this city.

Because Moitz's hand cannot possibly be needed, such as a compilation of the report and the help of Orotos' too enormous work within the Adventurers' Union (Guild).

But Moitz,

"No, tomorrow... Is it the day after tomorrow? We'll be leaving on the day you're all leaving."

What surprised me about that dialogue was Ivan, who was Moitz's assistant, not the Lulu's.

"Huh!? So, but there are still tons of reports, summaries of investigations, etc... and help Lord Orotos with his work...!!

After all, there seems to be a lot of work to be done, and there seems to be no sign that it will be finished yet.

It's just that Moitz puts his hand on Ivan's shoulder, and then seriously meets Ivan with a grumpy odd eye.

"... Ivan. Things have a time and a time. Is that an important job to fulfill?

"What? Yes, no... Um, oh, probably very important..."

"... Ivan. The report already contains an analysis of Sophie's statements and actions, as well as trends in the Enchanted Empire. All that's left... is a fine job."

"Yeah, yeah, well, yes, but Lord Orotos alone, considering the hassle of settlement, etc... he's not going to die..."

That would mean that the union president of the Adventurers' Union (Guild) in the finals now has a job.

That's why Moitz was helping.

But Moitz shook his head slowly, heavily,

"This time, the finals will increase in importance. And Lord Orotos, who heads the union in its finals, is going to be thrown into the midst of intense duties... so I think it's important to get used to it now... yes, like me..."

It is a far-eyed Moitz.

Indeed, from Ivan's point of view, Moitz's workload has always far exceeded what a person can do, and given what happened in this city finals, it will also increase in importance and voice within the Orotos Adventurers' Union (Guild), which was the union leader in the finals in the meantime.

It was therefore the Adventurers' Union (Guild) that Orotos probably rode the birth street, but emerged, which also meant a multiplication of the workload, more than a rise in status.

For that reason, there is a reason for what Moitz said.

It makes sense, but there are some disturbing signs that Moitz is trying to achieve his purpose by clinging to the reason...

"Anyway! What we have to be here is done. I'm supposed to be on vacation, and you'll be fine leaving the rest to Lord Orotos. So we're leaving for Teram Nadia with Lord Lulu and the rest of us. Are you sure?

"Yes..."

Feeling the constant force to say no, Ivan couldn't help but nod.

I also feel a lot rounded up about something, but Ivan has never seen Moitz put up with it like this.

So I didn't even feel like sometimes, okay?

I am very sorry for Orotos, but it is true that most of the important work is done, and the rest is purely clerical.

If Orotos is willing to die, he can't handle it. But it's not, and it's a job he should have been doing alone.

Let's have a look at hell, it was Ivan with his hands in the Adventurers' Union (guild).

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ■

"... Kushi-kun!!

A loud sneeze echoes in the union chairman's office within the Adventurers' Union (Guild).

The Lord was Orotus.

A union official who was his assistant speaks to him.

"Even a cold...?

"No...? I had a sudden chill. I have a bad feeling..."

Orotos answered that with an anxious look, but it immediately took me to clean up the paperwork piled up on the desk.

Orotos says as he clears the paperwork.

"It's really good to have Lord Moitz at this time of year nonetheless. Otherwise my paperwork wouldn't have ended without doing double the amount of this... hey, I wanted to, I wanted to..."

"Really, right? Even Stonehenge Orotos will die of this double amount of paperwork."

"Not at all. That's like a bad joke. Ha ha."

"haha"

The two of us are laughing and clearing up the paperwork because we are getting too much and our spirits are breaking, but it is this next day that the desperate story they have spoken becomes a fact.
