24 . Twenty-fourth Episode: Master of Makai

It's good to hear that the communication with the demons in the Border Village is going well. But, they're coming for the core again, right?

The core is a material that enhances the performance of weapons and armor. Because if you use it to make drugs and weapons from scratch, the performance will increase dramatically, so the magic core that lines up in the store sells for 2 gold coins per piece. The price of the earth is 20,000 yen.

I'll be back. It seems that information on the border village is flowing from somewhere. We fought them off before they came here.

When Lin said that, I read the paper in my hand and saw that within a month, bandits and sorcerers had attacked the border village about 10 times, but Lin's friends and some of the demons in the village had helped me to fight them off.

(Will bandits and mercenaries come to the border village every day if we don't do something about this? (And that's even better.)

'Then! She will go to the border village and turn it into a base for the Guild of Diabolos. What do you think?

I'm sorry.

Nero stands up. Faye stands up when he says that the Border Village is going to be a Guild-Diabolos stronghold. His expression was a little angry.

''Hey! What do you mean by the entire Demon Guild moving to the Border Village!

It's obvious. The mistresses say that they will protect you from those who want to attack the demon core, and they are of the same demon tribe. As they are experts on demons, if something goes wrong, they can help the demons in the village. That's not a bad suggestion.

Nero smiles at me. But I can sense an intention behind those eyes that seems to be planning something, and I was about to sit up to say something, but Serena stopped me.

"Why do you stop, Serena?

''Wait, Ren. If we interrupt you without thinking, you'll have an excuse for a 'reason to fight' against the demon world! Also, you were probably thinking of moving our guild to a border village or something.

That's very clear.

'You got it. I knew you were thinking about it!

Serena had figured out what I was thinking. And suddenly, Nero and Lin-san are arguing with each other.

''If you guys come from the demon world, the demon tribe living in the village will be frightened, and if you look at what Barbados does, it can be seen as a view of the 'demon world's dominant region (shihachiki)''

This is not an invasion. She lives in a village hunted by the humans as 'Gilmouth' of the guild. She fears for her fellow demons.

Then I suggest you send an expert to the Log Horizon guild.

But there is a growing number of magical beasts on this continent that are attacking our villages and towns. If that's the case, Log Horizon must move to another village and concentrate on eliminating these monsters!

When Nero said that, Fay, who was standing next to Lin, was about to grab the great sword when Lin grabbed Fay's arm with his hand and shook his head, and Fay sat down in her seat with a regretful look on her face.

''Then, if Diabolos is based in another village and regularly visits the Border Village and interacts with the demons living in the village bit by bit, then...''

I can't bear such a burden. I want to refrain from getting tired of moving around. It would be easier if she were based in a border village.

Gradually, the argument between the two men heats up.
