Yomigaeri no Maou

Episode 254: Investigation Request

Banned domains.

It is Lulu who, listening to Moitz, thought that there had been a long and dangerous place.

There was no such regional setting long ago.

If I were to say so, would it feel like all the places where the Church of the People (Human) was forbidden to the Ancient Demons?

And that nightmare floating continent that was flying in the sky.

At that time, the lost flying machine is deceived.

If that was still there, I could fly around the world the way I wanted, but if there was such a huge thing left, it would be rumored somewhere.

From what I haven't heard in any way since I was born with such a thing, I can only assume that all that flying machine has disappeared between the waves of history, including the homogeneous one.

It was a shame.

Well, that's okay, switch your head and Lulu asks.

"No matter how dangerous the place is, shouldn't we just leave it alone? It would be about another country. I don't think it's a good idea to talk too much."

As for Lulu, it was exactly what he said as he remembered the demonic tribe that was mouthed by people, but both Moitz and Mireille shook their heads at this.

Even so, that doesn't seem to me to be what you think you should be gunning for interference in your internal affairs.

Mireille says.

"Basically, Master Lulu is right"

"Then..."

"No, I don't mind the minute you get your hands on the no-go zone and the Lugunic merchant country perishes on its own, but as a result, the surrounding countries can also suffer. That's unacceptable."

"Is this such a shitty place? Prohibited areas are"

When Lulu asks, Mireille explains.

"Yes... it would still be nice if we were to join the Army and become Knights in the restricted area, and they would be damaged close to total annihilation, so long as survival returns, but behind that, there have been many times in the past that we will be stuck with tons of demons. It has happened many times in history that the demons eventually attacked and destroyed the capital and even other countries. I think I want to avoid the boulders, so I'm saying that the actions of the Lugunic merchant countries are unacceptable."

It seemed more dangerous to me than I thought.

But the Lugung merchant countries that attack while knowing that there is so much danger are also amazing.

Can't you do that unless you think you'll never lose first?

That's what you thought, Iris asked.

"We hear that the Lugung merchant country is a merchant country, but do you have enough military power to attack such dangerous land?

Moitz answers this.

"No, you're roughly right about what Sophie used to say too... I mean, the mercenary power that made you say things to financial power is the dominant country. There are also national armies, but this one is not very..."

That's right, and Moitz sees Mireille's face.

Moitz was basically the one dividing Leonard's north, confirming that he thought his information might be a little out of date.

Mireille is

"Yeah, you're right. However, to a certain extent, the latest information is that there is a massive influx of funds in Lugung and a significant increase in the national army."

"... Again, you have different intelligence skills. The inflow of funds and the strengthening of the national army will be linked, but from where the hell...?

When Moitz asked, Mireille tried to open her mouth to answer,

"... it's Chrisansee. There's money flowing from that country."

and Adler answered from next to Mireille.

Apparently, it's back to sanity.

But he has a look like he chewed up a bitter bug.

Is there something angry about your change, or are you complaining about Lugung and Chrisansee's situation?

Adler continued.

"Pretty clever. In the form of a general commercial transaction, funds are flowing from Chrisansee to Lugung. It's part of the merchants union around here, and it's hard to complain from the Adventurers union (guild). In the first place, there's nothing wrong with the books. It's just that if you look at the seer, you'll see. This, he said, is funding for Lugung from Chrysance"

But Lulu leans his neck towards Adler's explanation.

"If you want to fund something else, it seems like you should be grand..."

Adler snorts at this too.

"Well, basically it is. But Crisanse is a country of suspicion. I always plot various conspiracies to expand my territory. We should consider this to be one end of the spectrum. Besides, I'm not out of time yet, but Lugung is in quite a predicament in the first place, right now. I'm pretty much paying for the big business union. Naturally, if you leave it there, you'll be forced to leave. In that case, Lugung becomes even suspicious of its survival. Lugung is Setouchi now. In the meantime, Lugung would definitely ride if Chrisansee told him to take on a single stick of some conspiracy after securing his independence... The last one, he doesn't leave the realm of speculation, but I think I'm quite right in anticipation"

The Grand Chamber of Commerce is a coalition of several countries to which the Lugung Trading Country belongs.

A few small countries, coming together, retain their independence vis-à-vis the surrounding countries.

Conversely, it means that independence cannot be maintained without cohesion.

Lugung was tightening up the payment of the burden required to belong there, and although he talked about that Chrisansee interlocutor Sophie in the finals, Adler also seemed to be grabbing it independently.

The information that Adler grabbed independently, coupled with the information that came from inside Chrissance at the time, seems to be a good idea to think it's the right information about this.

In addition, Chrisansee is causing disturbances in the finals aimed at weakening Leonard.

Given that, there is no doubt that we are also circling various measures for aggression against neighbouring countries.

Additionally, Adler

"Well, I said a lot, but it all doesn't leave the realm of speculation. Until Chrisansee tells me that the flow of funds to Lugung is a normal business deal, and that Rubbing with Lugung's Grand Chamber of Commerce is in the process of being negotiated, until it is said that it is due to come together in a while. The day Chrisansee conspired against Lugung... they told me it was a lie. So...... I can only do it now enough to be vigilant with that possibility in mind. I hope I can find out what's going on inside me somehow, but when Chrisansee is involved, it's not easy to send an investigator..."

I said it like trouble and held my head.

Take a look at Moitz and see what he means.

"I've been told for quite some time that Chrisance has a shadow force of considerable strength. That kind of thing could be keeping an eye on him. He sent investigators to Lugung and he was killed in a few days, which means it could be something. Of course, there are a number of first-rate investigators in the Adventurers' Union (Alliance) Hand Keepers, so they won't be found or hit so easily...... it would also mean it's subtle to put that much at risk with as much suspicion as it is now...... but Adler"

That's what Moitz said, and he saw Adler.

"What?

Adler tilts his neck.

Moitz turned his meaningful gaze to Adler,

"I have an idea of the people who can blow away all the concerns I said that. Why don't we leave it to them?

I said.

Adler tilts his neck and asks.

"... I've never heard of anyone like that. Who the hell... hmm?

That's about it, and Adler guessed it, too.

I looked at the Lulu's and told Moitz.

"Maybe, Lulu...?

Moitz nods.

"Yeah. They're extremely capable people. At least, it's impossible to infiltrate, but come back with a corpse, etc."

"As much as you say that...... well, it's not strange to think of yourself as a magician, the developer of that art of humanization, at the top of the class... Plus one poor girl would be less likely to be suspicious...... Well, maybe it's not too bad."

Moitz said, as the denomination suggests, that the Lulu's fighting power is roughly not something that a regular person can reach, but Adler doesn't seem to think that's it.

He thinks Zoe is a pretty powerful warrior, and he's probably pretty good as a magician about Lulu.

He thought of it more as a force of war when it came to Illis, and more as a guard against its appearance.

That is a perception that is not wrong but significantly off.

But Moitz seemed to think that would be fine if the conclusions didn't change no matter what, and he didn't make any particular corrections.

I'm just waiting for Adler to make his decision.

Adler thought for a while, and said.

"All right, fine. Lulu, Iris, Zoe. I would like to ask you to infiltrate the Lugunic merchant country and explore the inside of that country. Of course, the reward plays as a nomination request. What do you say, take it?

As for Moitz, I guess he was going to take it to this kind of flow from the beginning.

That's why he said Adler was just fine about being in this Teram Nadia, and besides, he must have seated the Lulu's in a meeting with Adler.

Of course, this request is a boat to the Lulu's.

Leonard's ID means he can't get into Lugung or Chrisansee, and there's no other way to do this than to get the support of the Adventurers' Union (Guild).

Though Moitz told me to issue a forged identity card, many endorsers would be better, and the endorsement of the head of the Western Adventurers Union, who deals directly with Lugung, would be greatly appreciated.

Lulu gazed at Iris and Zoe, then responded to Adler.

"I'll take that story"

Then the Lulu shook hands with Adler and the conversation was over on the spot.

◇ ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇

That said, it doesn't make sense to go to Lugung immediately.

What Moitz and Adler said was that they wanted to have someone with a legend about Lugung as their guide, so it would be in the form of having them turn after that selection.

People from Lugung are pretty much in Leonard, and in the Adventurers' Union (Guild), of course.

Apparently, that means I'm going to pick someone who looks good among them.

I meant that I was going to make the selection as soon as I could, but I also had to review the reliability and wanted you to think it would take a few days.

When that happens, the Lulu will have plenty of time in Teram Nadia, but it's not a quick journey either.

Well, should I be blurry, then?

After the conversation with Adler, Adler and Moitz quickly got into that selection process, so the Lulu's took the form of being kicked out of the office.

Then, the union members at headquarters guided me to the lodging.

There was accommodation for those belonging to the Adventurers' Union (Guild) within the headquarters, and the Moitz said they would ask the Lulu's to stay there, but they seemed to remember it well.

What was guided was the compartment, which was also at the back of the headquarters, but the number of rooms was quite good and many people seemed to be able to stay.

Each of the Lulu's was given a private room, and the interior seemed clean and comfortable, although not so large in a functional room that there was a bed and shelf, and a water drain on it.

Especially since I don't plan on getting stuck in the room, it's enough room if I just want to stay.

When I heard about the price of the accommodation, it was free because it was secured by the authority of Moitz.

Thankfully.

However, rather than treating it as special, it was said that it would be free because it would be treated as a necessary expense because of the fact that they were staying for the request.

I guess that means it's on the books.

I told Lulu and the others that. It doesn't matter what the details are, so I just wanted to say thank you.

Then he decided to stick his luggage, valuables, etc. in a safe placed in his room and go to the sights of the city of Teram Nadia.

Xiaolong (Liga Dragon) Nina was also taken.

I'm not taking him as far as a bicep to a boulder, but he (she?) I've told officials at the Adventurers Union (Guild) stables to feed them plenty, so fine.

"Well, shall we come?"

When all one Demon line plus one gathered in front of headquarters, Illis said so, so he walked out with the three of them one at a time.
