353-347 Recall

One day after about three months had passed while I spent my days continuing to power-leveling my masters, I received a report that the magic tool that I had requested the Technical Development Department to develop for me had been completed, and from that day on, I was assigned to negotiate with each country as the head of the Luciel Chamber of Commerce.

As a result, I was able to meet with the heads of each country, with the exception of Duchy Brange, and they allowed me to install the tools in every location from major cities to small villages.

And when installing them, the first step was to activate the purification wave.

Then the demons who were hiding and transformed into demons flared up and tossed around, so the demons could be found immediately.

However, no matter which city or village you visit, you can't hide your surprise that there is usually more than one demon or demonized person.

Well, as far as the battle was concerned, most of the time, the companions who accompanied him easily defeated them and took very little time to set up their magic tools, since they were weakened at the very least by activating the purification wave.

However, there was one place where the range was too wide to purify the demon race with the purification wave.

It was the capital of the Rubruk Kingdom.

Apparently, Lord Wisdom and Princess Renoir didn't have that much power, and they didn't realize that the demon race had entered the royal palace, let alone the city.

She was able to activate the purification wave, but she could only sear the demon race and those who had turned into demons, making them confused.

Since there were really a large number of demons hiding in the area, I was asked by Princess Renoir as the third princess to put an early end to the situation, and I ended up activating a magical tool that I had set up as both an experiment and an insurance policy.

But I believed that the magic tool would work, so I activated it immediately.

And it seems that the magic tool worked properly, and a blue-white transparent ward enveloped the capital.

Then the demon tribe that went out can no longer enter the city, and the demon tribe and the demonization inside the city are weakened.

That's exactly what happened, as long as the enemy was one, even multiple ordinary soldiers could fight more than evenly if they coordinated well.

However, the star of the day was not them, but a single half-elf.

He used his bow to snipe at dozens and dozens of demons and succeeded in doing it all.

No matter how much the demon race was weakened, there were many who were unable to defeat even that demon race.

It was the arrows fired by the half-elf that saved those people.

It wasn't just the residents who were saved by those arrows.

It seems that the nobles of the rubruk kingdom were also in the mix, and there were several stories about their strength and beauty, and so on, that came up to me.

It's a good thing that you're able to have a good time with your friends and family.

'Right now I can only think of protecting Yenis and the students who attend Yenis' school. I am very sorry, Master Luciel, but will you please decline?

Haha, I'll tell the Third Princess. But you'll have to report to Dr. Hattori yourself.

Yes.

That day, in recognition of Krecia's personal success, the Kingdom of Rubruk offers her the title of Princess Superior Archer and an award of gratitude.

However, Cresia declines the offer.

''I can't accept an award that Luciel-sama won't accept. Besides, I have received more than enough compensation from the Luciel Chamber of Commerce.

Then when I return to Yenis like this, I have a pile of papers from the Rubruk Kingdom piling up at my place.

Well, Cresia is also having a hard time with Dr. Hattori, so I won't say much about it.

And I've moved on.

I was expecting opposition from many countries when I set up the magic tool, but I was able to get their approval really easily.

It seems that there are two kinds of reasons for this, front and back, and I had a very bad feeling about it.

First of all, the ostensible reason is that the evil gods and demons had already moved in, causing no small amount of damage in each country.

But in reality........the reason behind it was different, apparently.

It seems that it's because the Luciel Chamber of Commerce, which attacked the empire with a small group of people and forced the former emperor to abdicate, ending the war between the Illumasia Empire and the Rubruk Kingdom, is working.

It's not only that, but it's also because they already have control over the St. Schroeder Empire and Yenis, Gruber told me with a laugh.

'What is that gossip? It's completely malicious.'

Not really.　You can't deny that Yenis has the Luciel Chamber of Commerce at the helm, and you can't deny that Luciel has a beastly brother at church headquarters because of his connections.

For some reason, there are a lot of cases where they're filling in the outer moat without us knowing about it.

''Even so, it sounds like the Luciel Chamber of Commerce is a martial organization for some reason...''

''Well, anyone would think that when they see Luciel fighting the demon race to protect cities and villages in various countries.

It's kind of unreasonable.

That's how life works.

So, on the subject of analyzing object X and how it can be used in cooking, have you made any progress?

Did you say "Aris the Convert"?　That thing is dangerous. I don't know what it is, but they're starting to make an object-model. I don't know, they're just pills.

'You can stop it, even if you have to shut it down. It's true that it was written that Object X was originally a pill, but I don't think even the best X with the best poison resistance skills would be able to withstand taking that.

'Well, the Object X Mods said it was for Master Luciel, who loves Object X so much, so we'll see.

I'm going home.

Oh.

I have to find a way to escape somehow and I'm back in the labyrinth of intrigue.　　

In times like these, it's best to move your body.

My level has recently started to rise above the seven hundred barrier, but Master and Lionel who have crossed the level five hundred barrier.

When I had a mock battle with the two of them, I started to lose once every three times even though there was a two hundred level difference between them.

Of course I didn't use magic that I would unleash on the demon race, but I still used the fighting techniques I learned from Lord Leinster.

I've resigned myself to the fact that this is just a matter of taste, but my master and Lionel himself are happy that their heyday has returned.

By the way, Dolan and Grand made the weapons, while Toretto, Paula and Lisian were in charge of the armor, but their performance is so extraordinary that it makes you feel sorry for the monsters that randomly appear on the scene.

Well, I've never lost a magical battle with Bazak, but I don't know what will happen in the future either, so I can't help but feel like I'm in a dense training session.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what's going on in your life.

Master Luciel, you're back.

'Yeah. But was Lionel good?　You haven't met Nania and the baby?

This is a self-imposed warning. I lost two straight games to a whirlwind and so on, and I lost my temper.

I don't think you've been able to communicate with Nania.

''No, I told them I've already lost a series of games with the Demon Ball.

So.....

We've won a lot of games and we're going home.

It's never gonna happen.

Lionel's words were followed by Master's words from behind.

Master is in a very good mood because he's won two in a row.

'Hmm, you're here. It's only now that we can be proud of our victory. Now that Luciel-sama has returned, we can continue our mock battle.

Well, first, let me extend my winning streak to three.

Then three of us, including me, opened the random boss.

What appeared was......... "Get out of my way" and "Burn up" The two of us instantly killed a demon with only a huge head.

However, before you know how strong it was, it was obliterated by its masters.

''It's fine to fight the two of you, but an instant death attack is really the only thing I can do.

'Luciel, you say that every time, don't you?　I don't think either of you have ever died before.

I'm on the edge of my seat.

'How many times do you think there have been cases where you would have died if we hadn't made the decision and activated the extra heel!　Pull yourself together a little.

'Huh, all right. Then get on with it.

Master Luciel, please.

So let's begin.

This was right after their mock battle began.

A voice sounded directly in my head....

"Luciel, get to Brange at once. If you don't hurry, they'll swallow up that brange.

That's the voice of the Spirit Queen. What the hell happened?

The evil gods are trying to connect the dark continent with the summoning magic circle in Brange. The whole area will be covered in miasma if they don't do anything.

All right, we'll be on the move. If you have any information, please keep me posted.

''If you can believe in your friends, you can grab a ray of light even when all you see is despair, so believe in yourself.''

What do you mean by that?

"I'll handle the World Tree.

That's not an answer at all.

But there was no response from the Spirit Queen.

''Master, Lionel, I'm sorry, but the real work has come. Please accompany me once again to my death.

Oh. I'm not gonna let you down this time.

We will all make it out alive.

Yeah.

Thus we escaped from the labyrinth and transitioned to the Adventurer's Guild headquarters.
