276 - - CHAPTER II STATUS CONFIRMATION

Diablo is on the move?"

The lowest level of the Abyss, the office.

After the Six Principality meeting, I was transferred to the racial kingdom and returned to the lowest level of the "Abyss.

A few days after my return, I received a document from May and skimmed through its contents.

May's black ponytail wagged like a tail as she continued her report.

Yes, this is information from the demon traders who have been going in and out of the demon country, and from my (my) own people who have infiltrated the country in advance. I have also heard that the upper echelons of the Majin Nation are also making moves."

Currently, merchants who manifested from the "Infinite Gacha" card, a gift, have infiltrated the Majin Nation.

In addition to them, they are also acquiring information from the merchants of the demon race who travel back and forth between the demon country and other countries.

Originally, the Mohawk adventurers were also supposed to enter the demon country section to collect information. ......

As a result of the birth of Queen Lilith at the Six Principality Conference, during the conference, the first prince of the Demon Kingdom, Volos, took a hostile attitude toward the racial kingdom and mentioned that he would review the relationship with the racial kingdom.

As a result, racial entry on the part of the Majin Kingdom is tightened.

As a result of this agitation, Mohawk adventurers failed to enter the country.

(They were depressed by their failure to enter the country, so I encouraged them to 'not worry about it. ...... I hope they are doing well)

Not only the Mohicans, but also the members of "NARAKU" have a strong sense of responsibility, and I am a little worried that they might get overwhelmed.

However, I can't afford to worry about them all the time.

I turned my attention to May's report.

The demon kingdom was probably crushed at the Six Principality Conference and is opposed to the complete independence of the racial kingdoms, so we can expect them to take action in order to spearhead the situation. The active movements of the upper echelons of the Majinkoku may be a preparation for some malicious action against the racial kingdoms. As for Diablo, there is too little information to make a judgment. ......

Diablo was also a nobleman, a viscount, I think, of the Majin Nation.　So I guess it's possible that you are working to show your loyalty to your country. ......"

As May pointed out, we cannot say for sure due to lack of information.

To make Diablo suffer more and more, we should know more about his current situation. Please instruct me to get as much information as possible on both Diablo and the upper echelons of the Majin Nation.

Awe."

May bowed as if to set an example.

I see her ponytail swish and suddenly remember.

Speaking of information from the demon kingdom, is there any news coming in from the racial kingdom side--Lilith--right now?"

Lilith was inaugurated as the new Queen of the Racial Kingdoms after receiving majority approval from the Beastmen Confederacy, Dragonite Empire, Queen Elf Kingdom, Dwarf Kingdom, and Demon Kingdom at the Council of Principality.

Of these, the most opposed was the Demon Nation.

It is hard to think that they, who have high pride in looking down on humans (inferior species) and their race, would stand by and do nothing after that.

Therefore, I thought that the racial kingdom side had some information about the Majin Nation. ......

May shook her head, checking her memory.

'...... No, we have not received those reports yet, even via Aoyuki. The actuality that the actual king's family members are not going to be able to be a part of the actual kingdom, and also the actual king's family members are not going to be able to be a part of the actual kingdom.

That sounds ...... likely. ......

Exile the interlocutors of the Dragon People's Empire and the Demon People's State from their own countries, clan by clan.

Some of them held higher positions in the upper echelons of the racial kingdoms, and some of them were even entrenched in the inner circle. There were also people in various other departments, both military and civilian, but all of them were expelled from the country.

There were not enough people to go around, so they also brought in a large number of people who came from the "Infinite Gacha" card, a gift.

Even so, it is quite possible that they are still short-handed and can no longer afford to worry about information from other countries.

"Let's contact ...... and see what's going on."

Not being a stranger to Lilith, he was concerned about her and used the "SR, Reminder" card to arrange a meeting.

He contacted Lilith not directly but through Yume (fake).

☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Welcome, Mr. Dirk. I am very sorry that you have come all the way here to see me in such a place.

Ah, yes, never mind. ......

I contacted Yume (fake) and confirmed a date and time that was convenient for Lilith.

I did not do the impolite thing of asking Lilith directly.

After arranging a meeting date and time through Yume, I was taken to the adventurer Dark's office in the capital of the racial kingdom, a castle--more of the size of a mansion than a castle--and shown to his office.

Lilith sat at her desk in her office, her eyes bloodshot and dark circles forming, and her tongue slightly slurring as she delivered her words of welcome.

Meanwhile, Lilith continued to sit and deal with the mountain of paperwork, as if she didn't have the energy to get up from her seat.

I couldn't help but ask him.

I asked him, "Lilith-sama,......, excuse me, but are you getting any sleep?　You look very pale. ......"

What was that you said?　......Oh, you mean sleeping. ......I stopped counting when I was too sleepy. But it's all right. If you keep on drinking koukyuposhon until you calm down, you'll be able to sleep without sleeping.

He assures us with a fragile smile that could kill you just by touching it.

I can understand the urgent need to gain a foothold after the abolition of the former king, the forced seizure and confinement of his own brother, and the simultaneous expulsion of inter-country people from other countries, but ...... it would be too reckless at any cost.

(Above all, I can't even have a proper conversation with him as it is. ......)

I take out a card and release (release) it.

There is no problem since there is only me, Nemmu, Gold, Yume (fake), and Lilith in the office at the moment.

Lilith looks at the bottle in my hand curiously.

?"　What is it, Lord Dirk?"

It's a sleepless night pill. Take one of these and you won't have to sleep for a day. It is not harmful to your health.

"SSSR: Sleepless Night Pill."

It is a granular drug that fits in a bottle, and if you take one, you don't have to sleep for a day.

The card explained that it was a drug that would also prevent sleep.

Since it is not harmful to health, it is probably the most necessary item for Lilith at the moment.

Take one of these for now," he said. Yume, please.

Leave it to me."

After Yume (fake) receives the "Sleepless Pill" from me, she approaches Lilith.

Lilith smiles at Yume with a smile that seems to be about to vanish.

It's all right, Daddy. People don't need to sleep to do useful work. I'll prove it to you. Just occasionally you will see a pink goblin on the edge of the city, and you will feel lighter than usual, and you will have the strength to go straight to Megami-sama.

Princess, please, let's take the medicine that Master Dirk gave us."

While listening to Lilith's unintelligible dialogue, Yume (fake) tries to get her to take the "Sleepless Night Pill.

I slightly regret that 'I should have come to check on you earlier ......' after hearing Lilith's dialogue.

If I had come earlier or given her the "SSSR Sleepless Pill" first, she wouldn't have hallucinated that a pink goblin was dancing with an orc of the color of thud. .......

(I mean, what's a pink goblin and a thuddy-colored orc?)

I was inwardly shocked by Lilith's hallucination.
