207 - - Episode 6 Three Requests

At the lowest level of the Abyss, after listening to the reports of Mei, Ellie, and Aoyuki, I receive a telepathic message from Lilith, the first princess of the Kingdom of the Human Race.

Since I have given her "SR, telepathy," she can send me a telepathy.

So I have no problem receiving a telepathic message from Lilith, but there was a slight problem with the content of the .......

What?　Because of our annihilation of the beast race,...... there will soon be a meeting of the Six Principality, which was supposed to be held a few years earlier?"

It seems that because of our excessive violence, the demon nations are wary of the "Giant Tower".

They are going to hold a meeting of the six races in the Principality of Six in a hurry in order to call on each country to hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

We received a request to talk about our future plans.

I have no reason to refuse, and it seems that our actions have had an impact on them, so I respond with my approval.

Through telepathy, we decided on a date and time together with Lilith.

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

A few days later, Lilith appears in her office on the fourth floor of the "Giant Tower" as before.

After greeting each other, we sat down on the sofa across the table, and May quietly laid out a cup of tea in front of us.

We begin our conversation as May steps back to the wall.

'Once again, thank you for making the time to meet with me.

No, rather, it seems that Lilith-sama had a hard time this time. I didn't expect the Six Principality Conference to be held so early in the aftermath of the war with the beast race.

Yes, I was surprised that the Sixth Duchy meeting was hastened, and yes, I was surprised that the beast race suffered a crushing defeat, but ...... it was rather inhumane and outrageous for the beast race to take a race (humans) hostage and turn them into war cadets. I was furious with myself. So I was rather heartened to learn that the evil beastmen had been destroyed.

I nodded in agreement with Lilith's response.

As she is trying to reform the human kingdom, she would naturally understand the atrocity of the beast race and what happened afterwards.

Of course, she is probably afraid in her heart that many people died, but if she really wants to promote reform, it is inevitable that there will be casualties.

Running a country and reforming the status of the human race is definitely not something that can be done neatly.

Lilith continues.

'I also believe that it is the will of heaven that the Six Principality Conference was hastened due to the effects of the execution of justice against the beast race. Dear Light, I intend to abolish my father and assume the position of queen at this Sixth Council. Therefore, I ask you to please lay the groundwork with the Queen Elf Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the Beastmen's Union."

"............"

I provided Lilith with information that might be useful to her, as long as it was not a problem for us on the "abyss" side.

Therefore, I know that the Queen Elf Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the Beastmen's Union are either beholden to us or cooperating with us.

When I first spoke with her in her office on the fourth floor of the "Tower of Titan," she told me about the Six Principality Council.

It is customary for the next king of the Human Kingdom to report the generational change at the Council and receive the acceptance of the other five countries, but in reality, the king is decided by the other five species.

This is a system aimed at eliminating those who are dissatisfied with the current relationship so that they will not gain the throne of the human race.

Moreover, it seems that the system is based on a majority vote by the five nations, excluding the races.

But we have relations with the Queen Elf Kingdom, the Dwarf Kingdom, and the Union of Beastmen from the shadows.

We can do whatever we want with three of the five votes.

Therefore, it seems that she intends to use the Six Principality Conference, which was hastened this time, as an oddity and accede to the throne as the queen of the Human Kingdom in one breath.

But it is not without problems.

The "We are willing to cooperate for the sake of the oppressed race (human), but we have not yet eliminated the ...... interloper, have we?　Could it be premature?"

Mr. Wright is certainly right ......, but if I miss this opportunity, it will be a long time before I take my place as queen." For that amount of time, many of my compatriots will suffer again."

She puts strength into her hands on her knees.

I had originally hoped that my father, the current king, would decide to reform, but ...... he doesn't have the stomach for it. The same goes for my brother."

Lilith's tone was like a complaint, as if she were recalling a recent event.

I am the only one who can protect the future of the human race," she said. Therefore, I would be very grateful if you would do me the favor of asking for ......3 some favors.

Three, sir?

She can't be asked to eliminate the interlopers of the racial (human) kingdom before she takes the throne of the king.

It may be possible to do so if she moves openly without restrictions, but it would be next to impossible if she moves unnoticed by the nations.

However, her request defies our expectations.

Yes, one thing I would like you to do is to help me improve my level before the Six Principality Conference starts.

According to Lilith - she wants to raise her level so that she will not die easily after she is crowned queen.

It is impossible to eliminate spies from all over the Kingdom of Humans overnight. Therefore, I am hoping to raise my level first so that I will not be killed so easily, and while I am raising my level, I will promote reforms to eliminate the spies over time.

Her words make me wonder if that was the way to go.

It sounds rather far-fetched, but if Lilith, who is less likely to be assassinated now that she has raised her level, takes over as queen and wields her authority, she can send a large number of humanoid cards to her side in the name of replacing personnel, and even if we move behind that commotion, we will be able to keep her at her side. The spies can be eliminated without being noticed.

Next, I would like to ask you to lend me a magic item or potion that will prevent poisoning or assassination, since I know that even if I raise my level of skill it will be difficult to completely prevent such attacks.

No matter how much Lilith raises her level, it is difficult to prevent poisoning and assassination completely.

Magic items that prevent them will always be necessary.

Rather, those items, recovery medicine, and magic items are also necessary to protect the humanoid cards ejected from the benefit (gift) "Infinite Gacha" cards.

I have no intention of skimping on the items needed to protect my friends.

Naturally, I agree to this request.

Lilith's next request was somewhat different.

I would like you to attend the Sixth Conference as my escort at the end.

I'm going to be Master Lilith's bodyguard?"

I would be very reassured if Mr. Wright would be by my side during the Six Principality Conference. Besides - the heads of the dragon nations and the dragon people, or those close to them, will be present at the conference. There is not much I can do, but I think it will be beneficial for Mr. Wright to see the faces of the leaders of the Dragon Nation and the Dragon Neut.

Certainly it would be beneficial for me to see the faces of the heads of the magical nations, the dragon races (dragon neuters), or those close to them.

Lilith's escort would allow me to enter the hall from the front without any rough maneuvering.

Even though it's a racial group, I'll need Adventurer Rank A to escort the royal family, but with Light-sama's help, I'm sure I can get it before the Six Principality Conference."

Lilith assured him smilingly.

Apparently, the royal escort requires adventurer rank A level.

In this world, there is an Adventurer's Guild, which ranks adventurers into six levels.

The adventurer ranks are as follows

Class A: Top

Class B: 1st class

Class C: Skilled professional

Class D: 1 man

Class E: Half a man

Grade F: fledgling

On top of this, there is a very rare S-class, but that is the exception, and the basic rule is the above.

(Certainly, a "dark" adventurer on the ground is sure to get an "A" grade if he can put the word out to other countries, based on his recent rescue of racial hostages captured by the beast races. ......)

No matter how much we may think of ourselves as those who have god-like power for her, there are things we can and cannot do as we should.

If we had not made "Dark" an adventurer activity, it would have been difficult to get Adventurer A level before the Six Principality Conference. In that sense, I was lucky.

For the time being, it was possible for him to obtain the Adventurer A level, so he gratefully accepted Lilith's offer.

I understand about the escort. I will accept all your other requests as well.

!"　Thank you!　Mr. Wright!

No, it was a valuable opportunity for me as well. Thank you."

They thanked each other with smiles.

The discussion was very friendly.

--After the meeting, however, the Lilith incident caused some of the "NARAKU" members to have a bad feeling toward each other.
