62 Let's take a rest for now.

I went to the demon world of Garne in the virtual world and headed to the place where the demons were gathered.

The boundary between the general world and the demon world cannot be determined at a glance.

The human side has made a boundary line with simple stakes and ropes.

There is little merit in building a dike against the demon world, which is shrinking year by year due to the shrinking activities of the clergy.

Even if they did, they would be destroyed by the demons that come out of the demon world.

Therefore, in this place, which is the front line of the battle, you can see a garrison of soldiers that looks like an assembly hut and a watchtower that was also seen in Tarz.

Originally, most of the monsters that appeared in Garne were beast-like creatures that walked the earth, but humanoid monsters that resemble birds or dragons have also been seen.

They are less threatening than the wyverns that appear in Tarz, but they sometimes appear from the sky.

The grassland has been replaced by a wilderness, which is an easy boundary to understand.

The life force of plants is impressive, as grass grows immediately after being purified.

Conversely, the magical power of the demon world also affects the plants and trees that grow naturally.

When I entered, I had the feeling that something was different, but personally, there was no significant change.

However, according to Ilias and Mixu, there is a sensation of dust on the skin.

They said that they felt the same kind of discomfort in Garne Castle because it was also a magical world, but that it was even more pronounced in an untouched magical world.

Rather than an ecosystem, it could be seen as an interference with the magical power of the plants.

If this is the case, then it is possible for plants on Earth to grow normally.

I would like to verify this if I have time.

It is difficult to say whether the land is nutritious when it is called wilderness, but ...... there is sunlight and water.

We will be moving in the demon world, but ordinary animals do not want to go near the demon world.

Horses trained in Ghane cannot enter the demon world, so they must walk.

After half a day, I saw a black object in the distance, and there was a strange scene of a group of demons standing quietly.

The fear of the unknown that I felt when I was attacked by the slime, combined with my survival instinct, made me feel cold.

The demons should have been able to see us, but they didn't respond.

According to the Golden Demon King, in the virtual world, they will not move unless you make contact with them from your side.

I went around and observed.

These people look more like something out of a horror movie than a fantasy.

Once you have completed your observations, have Ilias attack you.

As soon as he attacked, they began to move as if they had been brought to life and began to attack all the people around them, including the surrounding demons.

Irias and Mix quickly left the virtual world and went into spectator mode.

Ilias and Mikus fought for a while, but it didn't last long.

On its own, the demon was strong enough to give Mix a good fight, and Ilias was strong enough to defeat it.

But the numbers were insane, and the demons didn't show any signs of restraint towards each other.

If they were human, they would refrain from involving their own soldiers in a crowded battlefield.

If they were in a pinch, they might get involved, but there is such a thing as an emotional brake.

However, if the demons are in range of the target, they will charge and run rampant without considering the damage to the surroundings.

If Lakra could only maintain the wards in the center, a large number of them would die in the fights.

However, they all agreed that if they let all these people fight each other, they would probably run out of magic power to maintain the wards and be crushed.

It would be better if Wolfe could use the same level of warding, but again, we shouldn't take an uncertain gamble.

After completing the verification, you return from the virtual world to the real world.

You wake up on your back, look at the ceiling, and ruminate on your memories.

Unlike when I was playing, I follow the same flow of time in the real world to reduce my burden.

It is now mid-afternoon, and he has returned with about six hours worth of memories.

The memory of the journey has been erased, but the memory of the observation is still clear.

It's a very useful feature, if you have the Golden Demon King with you, you can go back in time and talk with the dead.

You'll be able to go back in time and talk to the dead if you have a gold demon king with you." "Now that we know the threat level of the enemy, ...... what should we do?

It's not a hopeless threat, but a threat is a threat.

There is no way to prevent that disorderly army of demons even if we put our efforts into defense now.

Garne is a plain with no high walls to begin with.

If it had thick and high walls like Taze's home country, we could do something. .......

It's more manageable than dealing with the Tarsis, but it's made more difficult by the fact that you have to limit your casualties.

In addition to that, the number of them are multiplying in an ongoing manner. In the virtual world, there is no demon lord to call them up, so the number will not increase even if you advance to the future.

But in the real world, they are steadily increasing.

Based on the comparison between a month ago and today in the virtual world, the number of Garnets will still be greater at this stage, but the difference will be reversed in less than half a year.

It's hard, isn't it?　I had a plan to have you play a game that would destroy the Taze, in the hopes that it would help me solve this problem.

It wouldn't have helped.

Not at all.

Hey, what are you doing?

The sword shining on the neck of the Golden Demon King and Ilias's dusky and scary voice, since he woke up, he has worked quickly and without hesitation.

Incidentally, Ilias and Mikus were prostrate on the table.

Ilias and Mikus were lying on the table, and next to them was the Golden Demon Lord, who was using a man's arm as a pillow.

He must have been in this position for several hours, and his arms are numb and painful.

This golden demon king probably flew the three of you into the virtual world and then secretly moved to another location, right?

There's no room for complacency, so I get up and check my condition.

Your body feels good from lying down, but your arms are numb and you have trouble concentrating.

The strain of observing an army of demons up close seems to have taken its toll, and I think I'll need to sleep normally this time.

"Mixu, have you brought the communication tools?

Yes, they're always ready!

Marith had been given two communication crystals by Pope Eupharo of Mejis.

He thought it would be a good idea to give him the secret art as an apology, but he was told that it would be almost impossible to reproduce it in taze.

In the first place, I heard that these crystals are very precious and can only be found in the mines in Medis.

Anyway, Mikus had received one of the crystals when he left Ghane.

Only Lakra and Mixu, who had learned how to use it, could use it.

Ilias tried to learn how to use it, but Ulfe silently showed him the chain that Exoik had given him, and Ilias refrained from doing so.

I don't want you to destroy something that can't be replaced, you know.

"You have something interesting. I believe it's a crystal that's the catalyst for the Yggra religion's communication magic.

I'm going to explain the situation to Marith, the King of Taze, and it would be easier if the Golden Demon King could join us.

"Yes, of course.

Mixu borrowed a pillow, set up a crystal, and started communication.

"Well, the crystal is glowing. Mixu?

The familiar voice of Marito echoed from the crystal, and upon hearing it, Mixu's expression hardened.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that Mixu respects his older brother, Marito, very much.

The only problem is that he's a bit shy in front of his brother, as if to say, "Who are you?

"Oh, brother, uh, yes, yes.

Calm down, is your friend around?

Yes, yes, yes!　Yes, yes!

This is getting out of hand, so I'll interrupt.

I'll just tell you what's happened so far.

Then I'll tell you about the Demon Lord who's trying to kill Garne.

It's my second day in Gurne, how much more are you going to tell me? Can't you at least stretch it out to a week or so and then give us information in smaller chunks?

I agree with you on that.

The next day after arriving in Ghanai, I was called by the king and he told me that he was the demon king, challenged me to a match, and when I won, I was told a shocking truth.

It's a rapid development in one night, and if you wrote a novel about it, it would probably make most of a book.

I'm getting some strange signals, but it's probably the result of a fantasy brain that's seen too many demons.

But knowing what the Golden Demon King is capable of makes sense to me. In recent years, there has been a tendency to adopt unprecedented and risky measures without hesitation in the policies of Garnets' rule. If they could have done trial and error in the virtual world beforehand, it's only natural that they could have done so with confidence.

Even though this is a story of an unfamiliar dimension, Marito's comprehension is so high that it is comparable to that of a modern Japanese who has adapted to fantasy.

I'm not going to stop you if you want to help King Garne - or the Golden Demon King, for that matter. But I need you to promise me that you will put your own safety first.

I'll give you my word on that, and you'll need the First Mix. You've got Mixx, and I'm counting on you to make sure that your first priority is to protect us.

Well, you're doing a great job, Mixu.

No, no, no, no, no, yes!

I should probably moderate my abruptness, but I don't want to be mean because I know you're happy with the compliment.

I don't want to be mean because I know you're happy with the compliment.

In fact, it's already known that he introduced Riko to Marito, but Mixu thanks him and tries to arrange the bridal gown ahead of time.

I don't feel any jealousy,......, but the heart of a woman is a complex thing that cannot be readily understood.

In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can call us at the web site.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea. You're dealing with a demon lord, and a vixen who bewitches men. Be on your guard.

"That's a terrible thing to say from the side. I heard you were a wise king, but you're a much smaller man than I thought. I can't deny he's a fox.

Well, he's a subhuman fox.

I didn't tell you his past or what he looks like, so how could you guess?

"Because of your unthinking policies without consideration for other countries, our country has suffered greatly from the influx of bandits. It's hard to trust a king who can only rule by his ability.

I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with that.　Mmm-hmm.

"Well, how dare you, the Yellow Demon King?

You are the one who wants to make an enemy out of me, boy.

Both of them were bickering with each other.

Ilias and Mikus are also angry at the Gold Demon Lord's words, but they seem to be more deflated by Marito's irritation.

By the way, the only time I've ever seen Marito angry was when Ilias failed to protect someone, so I guess the sight of someone who doesn't usually get angry is even scarier.

Now, let's get on with the story, because if I let the two of them talk like this, they'll start a war.

Marito, I'll take care of things here, but you should keep an eye on Taze's demon world. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure you'll be able to do it. I'm not sure what to make of it.

I'll share the information with Pope Eupharo of Mejis and do what needs to be done. I'll share the information with His Holiness Eupalo of Mejlis and do what needs to be done. ...... Be careful, and have a nice drink when you get back--

"Don't talk like that, it's bad luck. I'll be back as usual, that's all.

Oh, yeah.

I'll be back as usual, that's all.

This is how the communication ended, and if Marito is overprotective, I was considering the possibility that Garne would tell him to come back as soon as he had no information about Rahite, but ...... it seems that he will let me go freely to some extent.

I'm not sure what to make of that.　What the hell is wrong with him?

Remember what I made you do in the virtual world?

I'm not sure what to make of this.

The golden demon king is also someone who has been boiled in a virtual world simulation, and the initial value of their hate for each other is too high.

I'm not sure if it's normal for neighboring countries to perceive each other as virtual enemies or not. .......

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

--I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will work for you.

If we can talk to other demon lords directly, we can explore them, but it's not realistic.

Even the Golden Demon Lord is only able to communicate with each other at the monthly meetings, there's no way to know where the other Demon Lords are.

Even though I don't know what he looks like or who he is, I think I've gotten some information about him.

The most important thing was that I was able to see the demons directly in the virtual world of the Golden Demon King.

I had only seen slime before, so there were things I hadn't noticed.

The fact that I was able to examine it at a stage when I was in good shape was huge.

"Okay, I'm going to bed. I need to rest my mind.

"Well, you can sleep here if you want.

The Golden Demon King pounds on the bed he left out, the quality of the bed is good, but the byproducts are not good for sleep.

It's not a bad place to sleep if you're not affected by the demon world like Ilias and the others, but then the two guards won't be able to rest. And I can't sleep well unless I'm alone.

I could sing you a lullaby. How often do you get to hear your mistress sing?

"I'll take that as a reward. See you later.

I parted ways with the Golden Demon King and returned to the mansion.

Wolfe was already awake and was training alone in the garden by the front door with a chain made of Exdoik.

Lakra is still sound asleep. Ilias and Lakra don't even have any memories left, so they should be almost completely exhausted both physically and mentally. .......

When I looked at the chain that Wolfe was controlling, I noticed that it was moving unusually briskly.

I saw the same scene yesterday, but I wonder if it can change so much in a day.

As I watch with interest, Wulfe throws a few words at me.

"Shishou, is something wrong?

No, I thought your chain control was much better than yesterday.

I've been told. ......

I've been researching the best way to use it on Kinno Maoh's Kaso World!

Yes, you've been training for a long time, Wolfe!

"Oh, I see.

The experience of the virtual world that was used for the game would be initialized.

There is no doubt about it, because the person who had experienced physical training and mock battles for almost half a year realized the emptiness of the initialization.

However, it is only initialized, but it can be verified.

Wolfe spent almost his entire life in the virtual world, and spent most of it in training.

There was no experience gained in his body or mind, and it seemed like a futile act, but he could see the results of how he would grow.

He must have done a lot of training with the chains in the virtual world, and found out what kind of training was best for him, and only brought back the results.

And now, he can implement the most efficient method in the real world.

This alone must have been very valuable to Wolfe.

Perhaps the biggest winner will be Wolfe.

What do you mean?

What do you mean? - Well, I've only had one experience in the virtual world. All I got out of it was a bad aftertaste.

"Well, ......, as far as I'm concerned, all I got was a loss.

I'm sure you're right.

In the event that you're not sure what to do, you'll be able to find out what to do.

The latter is necessary but unprofitable, while the former can be gained later, though there is much to be gained.

If I had gone around a few more times, I could have tried different things. ...... Yes, I could have learned magic in the virtual world.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will help you.

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will work for you.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on.

I've been thinking about it for a while, and I've been thinking about how I've been caught up in winning and losing.

"What?

I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.

For now, I'll just laugh and pat Wolfe on the head to cover it up.

Despite his training, he was unable to defeat Parshuro.

Ten or twenty years down the road, Parshero would have honed his strength in the same way, but Urfe's talent did not come through until the end.

This talent of his could not be fully utilized through self-study, and while actual combat against Ilias and the members of the Ragdoll Corps may have been highly effective, it may not have been suitable for Wolfe.

As long as Wolfe wants to be strong, I would like to help him in some way. .......

It's a good idea to consult with an Ex-Doctor, as he is one of the first people who feel that Wolfe's talent is a waste.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what to do.

--I've got a lot of ideas, but I'm going to sleep for now.

I'm going to go to bed and wake you up for dinner.

Okay, good night, Shisho.

"Shall we take it in turns to rest, Lord Ratcliffe?

Yes, I'll take my turn first.

"No, no, I'm not sleepy yet, so Lord Ratzel first.

"No, but Master Mikus is more...

In the event that you're looking for the best way to get the most out of your business, you'll want to take a look at the following tips.

Although the quality of the bed was lower than that of the bed prepared by the Golden Demon King, it was still many times more luxurious than that of the Iliad.

It's a bed that's as good as any hotel you'll find on your travels, and if you're complaining about it, you'll be angry with yourself for not having been here long enough.

When I say this, I look at my wooden sword and think of my life in the wild.

Yes, the current environment is blessed with a very high standard.

Let's just go to sleep, the wolfe will wake us up after a while, and we can't be sure that Lakra won't cause problems before that.

If I wanted to sleep, I could, but I'm hindered by the fact that I'm almost full of energy, so I'll just go to sleep and think about things like counting sheep.

There are currently six resurrected Demon Lords, including the Golden Demon King, and one of them is planning to create a creature-shaped demon in the Garne Demon Realm and invade Garne.

At the moment, we can rule out the Golden Demon King's self-invention.

The remaining five demon lords ...... can be eliminated, and the remaining four ....... 　

Assuming their personalities: ......Three remaining: .......

Considering the position of the two remaining ......, either ...... or .......

"...... can't sleep, let's switch to the plan to improve Lakra's position.

About a dozen seconds later, my consciousness fell asleep peacefully with the sight of my brain spooning me.
