69 I'm back at the moment.

My long but short stay in Ghana has finally come to an end.

It's been a long time, but it's not so long after all.

"Mistress wants to go to Taze too.

We all chanted "Don't come" in response to the Golden Demon King's request to go to Taze.

There's no way anyone in Taize will welcome the Golden Demon Lord with open arms.

'I thought you were the only one who liked me!

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that.

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

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

You'll be able to find a lot of people who are willing to take the risk.

I'll catch up with you sooner or later, so wait for me!

I was curious about the mysterious words he left behind, but I decided not to think too much about it.

We left Ghane safely, and were once again rocked by a carriage, droning on and on.

In the end, I made little progress in my inspection of Garnets, and I felt sorry for Mr. Ludfein, who had made many plans for me.

He is convinced that "His Majesty stirred things up," but I can't help but feel that the rift between the minister and the king has deepened.

In addition, Gladna has continued to take care of Wulfe's training, but she is going to return to her old home to sort out some things.

I heard that he left the training ground and came to Gurnee on the same day he was summoned by Ekuiq, and is now considered a missing person.

Eckdohik is accompanying Gladna as a convenient cab.

I'm sure Gladna is aware that he betrayed and murdered his disciple, Parshlo, but the two of them seem to be getting along quite well.

"Considering the original purpose of the trip, it was a very fruitful one.

"Yes, in many ways.

I don't care if their gaze hurts a little, we're the ones who are losing a lot of things.

When I came to Gurnee in search of information about Raheit, I got various information.

The king is a demon king, other demon kings are coming back, and Yugra is an annoying match-pumper.

In addition, the Purple Demon King is targeting the Golden Demon King, and the threat to the world still continues.

I don't know why so much information has been spilled along with his information, but it's more than just a snake oil.

What are some of the actual accomplishments you have made?

First of all, I was able to establish a friendly relationship with the King of Garne.

At the same time, we got information about other Demon Lords, which is too useful for the human side.

But the important thing is that Raheit has not been heard from yet, and our lives are still in danger.

Speaking of gaining something, I have something for you, Lakra.

For me?

He stood up carefully on the shaking carriage and walked to Lacla's side.

He put his arm around Lacla's neck and gave her a little something.

Around Lacla's neck was a necklace, not a fancy piece of jewelry, but a beautiful piece of craftsmanship with small jewels embedded in the silver.

"Wow, that's nice. But why me?

"It was given to me by the Golden Demon King.

"But if the Shosho gave it to you...

"The Golden Witch gave it to me to give to Lakra.

I'm not sure I understand it, but I think I like it.

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not. I'm sure they were destroyed towards the Tarzian world. But it seems that the rumor that they were in the demon world of Garne had spread to the human world as well, including Garne. If it's in the middle of the demon world for a few months, one or two curious adventurers will probably witness it.

I'm sure you're right, I've been into the demon world many times in the past hunting demons.

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for. But the sudden disappearance of an army of demons can be a cause for concern in terms of rumors, so the Golden Demon King took some measures.

You mean as the King of Gurne?

Yes, he decided to issue and award a medal for the defeat of the demon army. I've decided to issue and award a medal to you for defeating the demon army. If word gets out that the problem has been solved, you'll have less to worry about.

"I see, ......, that's it?

I don't mind a good guess, Lakra.

Yes, that's the medal of honor that was custom made for me by the king.

"Oh, that's it. It's a gift from the king, so if you sell it or lose it, it's a big deal.

Why would I do that?

After consultation, it is the intention of both us and the Golden Demon King not to leave any traces of an Earthling collaborator. It wouldn't look good if the other Demon Lords knew that we were working with someone from Yugra's hometown. Ilias and Mixu are here as guards, and Wolfe is too little known. And most importantly, it was decided on Exoik's recommendation.

How is that even possible?

"Of course it's possible, Exoik has been cooperating with you from the beginning because he wanted to improve your status. This is a just reward for Exoik.

To put it bluntly, it was during the course of the project that Eckdruk realized, "This is not going to improve the status of Lakra Sarf! To be honest, it was during the process that Eckdruk realized, "This is not going to improve the status of Lakhra-Sarv!

If things were done in secret, that would be the end of it, and there is no way to say that there was any communication between the Demon Lords.

But that would have put Exarch in a bad mood, so he mined the story of the discovery, which hadn't even become a big rumor, and spread it again.

At the same time, I also spread the confirmed news that the King of Ghaneh had given Lakra a hero's medal.

This made it easy to establish the rumor that Lakra-Salv, the priest of Mejis, had defeated the army of demons that had gathered in the Garne demon world.

It is not just credible, the king admits it.

Incidentally, Ecdysius was also responsible for spreading the rumor while transporting Gladna.

In fact, even Lakra has contributed. You're entitled to it, so take it.

"No, that's true, but ...... it's not as clear as I thought. I don't find it very rewarding.

This is the reason why it is so important for you to have a good understanding of what you are doing.

I'm sure you've heard of it, but I've never heard of it.

If it were only a battle, any knightly order could have done the job.

Even so, he was rewarded and appreciated by Marith.

The only thing I remember doing was putting up a ...... ward.

I'm sure you'll be able to tell me more about this. It's also a great way to get the most out of your business.

"Heee, the guilt is getting to me!

"I've made promises to Pope Eupharo and Ecdysius, and they've been very helpful as a cover for my activities. I will continue to raise your status from time to time, okay?

I've always wanted to be paid for no work. ...... It's not what I expected.

This is the same way that if you put out a ward in front of a demon, you become a hero, or if you put a dandelion flower on top of your sashimi, you get an award for rounding up terrorists.

I don't understand it myself.

The Pope Eupharo, Marito, and the Golden Demon know you, and they won't assign you any crazy jobs just because you've risen in rank.

"That's right ...... isn't it?

I don't like intuitive lakhs, after all, they may not be foolproof .

It's true that Pope Euphrosychiac knows that Lakra is no good, and he wouldn't bother to give him a high position.

But what about those who don't know Lakra well? If Lakra is successful in many places and his fame increases, they may suddenly promote him.

However, it doesn't mean that they don't have actual ability, they just need to be in the right position first.

Depending on the extent of Ecdysiac's lobbying, it will probably be okay, probably.

Maybe not... He'll risk his life to improve Lakra's position...

We're going to be working with the Tarz from now on, because the status we're getting isn't based on our fighting ability. It'll be a moderate improvement.

Shouldn't Master Shosho's status improve?

You're already a friend of the King in two countries, there's little point in worrying about your position or honor.

"If you ask me, Master Shosho has risen in the ranks quite a bit.

I'm sure you're not the only one who's had to deal with this.

"So, your friend is underestimating the first impression your brother made on you?

I'm not sure if it's because I've been talking about Marito for a while, but Mix is biting. He's tolerant when it comes to evaluating Marito, but he's a stickler when it comes to complaining about Marito.

I'm not trying to criticize the selection process, because it's working out well for Marito. I don't mean to criticize the selection process, because it has produced good results for Marito, but I think you're skipping too much of the process.　That's from day one.

I'm not sure what to think of someone who worships Marito on the same level as faith, and who Marito says is his best friend on first impression.

This is the person.

I'm sure it was ...... love at first sight.

I'm sure it was love at first sight. ......

Marito's response was that he judged our existence to be of great value and decided at an early stage that we would be good friends in the future.

As for me, I don't think I'm worth that much, but I'm not going to complain about his reputation as a wise king.

It is true that it was a good opportunity for me to learn about the hidden information behind the history of the world, as well as the cultural information of other worlds.

However, even if I were to build a friendship in anticipation of this, I wonder how it would be if I were to talk to him in a casual manner from the start.

It's a method you can't do unless you have a lot of confidence in yourself, and I'm sure you do.

As for the Demon King of Gold, well, it's like a guy who misses human touch has found someone he can easily touch, or a pet who can be cared for in a life full of enemies. Well, I'm the one who's been petting him.

It's strange to be petted by a pet, isn't it?

When I think about it now, the stroking of that tail was good, and I still remember it rather vividly.

Most of my memories are of being slapped in the face, but that's what I remember.

Hmm, I guess I'm feeling rather lonely. Wolfe, can I pet you a little?

"Yes, please!

I stroke Wolfe in the same position as the Golden Demon King.

The ears and other parts of the body are not bad, but the tail is too voluminous for the Golden Demon King.

I've never stroked Wolfe's tail before, by the way.

I've never stroked a wolfe's tail before. Hmmm ...... it feels good to the touch, almost silky smooth. It's as silky as silk. This is as good as the Golden Demon King.

"Yeah!

I'm not sure if I'm proud of my tail or not, but I'm pretty sure the Golden Demon King was proud of it too.

It must be nice to be praised for one's own body parts.

This is not s*xual harassment, is it?

In modern Japan, even stroking a woman's head is s*xual harassment, and even in manga featuring subhumans, touching the tail is interpreted as an act similar to touching a breast.

There is no such reaction from the Golden Demon King or Wolfe, so it seems to be okay.

I should check out the ecology of the Kuro Wolves next time I come in contact with subhumans, and I'll be careful not to show any signs of reluctance.

Yes, there was something I wanted to ask you.

What is it, Iliad?

I thought I'd take this opportunity to ask you if there's anything you're not telling us.

You've come in very bluntly, and I'm not complaining.

I've learned that if I don't make a move, I don't get anywhere, so what do you say?

You're hiding something from the Iliad, .......

That's not the same as not talking because you haven't been asked, is it?

That's true, but ...... is there such a thing?

I'm not going to hide it, but I'm not going to tell you that I'm in a drinking club with Lord Ragdoll's grandson. I'm not trying to hide anything, but there are a lot of things I haven't told you.

We don't report everything about our daily lives every single time.

Of course, there are things that happen in Taze's life that the Iliad cannot know about.

It's not a secret just because I haven't bothered to tell you about it.

"...... That's a very curious thing to hear. It's no wonder you've formed such a close relationship with Lord Reynaud and the others. We'll get to that later, but let's talk about what you're deliberately keeping from us.

"There are a few things, first of all, there's a lot I don't want to talk about on Earth. First of all, there's a lot about Earth that I don't want to talk about, because there's some information that shouldn't be given out, and I've discussed this with Marito.

Anachronistic knowledge should only be shared with those who can handle it, especially the wisdom of history, which could change the course of history and cause this world to go mad.

I don't want to be a catalyst for the creation of germ or nuclear weapons in this world.

Human relationships on Earth are another story I don't want people to know.

That's-- well, I suppose it can't be helped. Then what about your world?

"This world, ......, yeah, there's one. Wait a minute, I'll think of a way to explain it. ...... Mix, stop me if this sounds bad.

"Is that me?

Yeah, it's a story that only Marit and Lord Raggedy could tell. It's about the dark side of the TARDIS.

"Ugh, that's ...... something I don't know much about. ......

The Dark Side of Taze. ...... That's certainly information I'm not qualified to know. ...... You do know, don't you?

I don't know the whole story, but I was introduced to one of them during a previous incident with the Dark Side of Mejlis, to hear about the dark entities of this world.

"Were you in the castle during that period ......?

I've been there, or rather, I've been there, and I've been on Marito's side in progress.

I'm not sure how you're doing, but I'm sure you're doing fine. I don't usually see you around, so if you sneak off, I doubt I'll notice.

I'll play it off. If you're curious, ask Marito's permission.

I've heard a lot of talk among knights about the dark side of ...... Tarz, though it's probably not possible. It's obvious that there is information coming into the castle that the knights can't get. His Majesty has never denied it.

In that respect, Marito's introduction of the Dark Lord was probably the greatest concession he could have made to us.

I'm not sure what else I want to keep secret. ...... hmmm ...... things I don't want to tell Ilias and the others. ...... things I want to hide... ...Yeah, you do.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

There's a treasure chest in this room, isn't there?

Is there?

Didn't you see it when you entered the ...... room?

You know, there's something like that, too. ...... Do you know Lakra?

Yeah, it's a box with a big-ass lock on it, isn't it?

Wolfe's seen it before.

Oh, I've only got room for it in my room. It's my personal treasure chest.

There are a lot of things in there: the ashes of my first partner, a magic seal stone from a bandit's hideout, a beautiful stone I picked up in the forest where the Kuro Wolves live, a piece of the wall that was destroyed in the battle against the dark forces of Mejis.

To be honest, they are all worthless trash, but I have been accumulating them as memories of my time in the other world.

I bought a large treasure chest to make myself look good, but it takes up a lot of space.

Do you have anything valuable in there?

"No, Mr. Van keeps the money and stuff. It's just basic junk that I found, and I keep it as a reminder of my trip. There are also some parts of the detection wards that were damaged when Lakra failed to remove them.

Why do you keep that stuff ...... as a precious memory of me?

It's not that I don't think it's important, it's just that I have a habit of picking up things from around the place to commemorate memorable events of any kind. I can't show you the whole story.

It doesn't really matter.

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

Shishou, do you have any memories of the Wolfe in there?

"Memories of Wulfe?" "Memories of Wulfe?" "Memories of the Kuro Wolf Forest?" "Memories of Wulfe?" "Memories of Wulfe?" "Memories of Wulfe?

Let's forget about that.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one.

It's also a commemoration of the first time I made Karaji kneel down. ...... I ate mud too.

And then there's the meat bone that Wolfe gave me for some reason with the dog bone.

Oh, I remember that!

I thought it might have been Wolfe's hair.

I'm not sure about human hair, though. ...... might think you're dangerous if they see you.

Is that so?

On Earth, the guards might catch you, because they might think you're weird. It's a world where you have to think about who you're saving for.

"Wolfe doesn't care.

Oh, yeah?

I wonder if this means I should collect them.

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

The gold demon lord is likely to ...... give it to you as a substitute for yourself.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

"Oh, you get it, Mixu?

As an adventurer, I often think about the past. Oh, and do you have any souvenirs of your encounter with my brother?

Well, it's a secret.

I'm curious about that, ...... but I'm sure it's very quaint!

It's half of the shell of a huge pistachio bean that we used in an exchange when we first met.

I don't know why Marito kept it, so I gave it to him.

Perhaps Marito has a similar collecting habit.

Did you get the memory of our meeting then?

No, that's why I got into the carriage as soon as I met Mixu, and the rest was just going back and forth between the mansion and Garne Castle.　I don't have anything special.

"Oh my god, ......, but now that you mention it, you're right, ......, I'll take this knife!

Don't give me your main weapon.

"But, but, my friend, it was a memorable journey for me too, and meeting your friend is one of the most memorable things in my life!　If I'm the only one remembered, it won't be a memento for your friend. ...... Haha, if it's hair--

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.　I'm not going to be the only one with a real one.

Ummm, ...... what are your memories of your encounters with Lord Ratzel, for example?

"More and more secrets are being revealed. ...... Well, it doesn't matter, the string.

"The string?

When we first met, they put me in a burlap sack, and they politely tied the mouth with a piece of string. That's the string.

I don't know how you got it. ...... I remember you lost it once on the way here.

It's a rather trivial thing. ...... Let's take it then.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

It's a bit expensive, but it's ...... acceptable.

"Hmm, that's acceptable. I'll take it.

I'll take it, thank you." "Now I'll float in your friend's memory!

I'm sure someone with a strong personality like yours will come to mind even without the object.

"Heehee!

I'm sure he's happy to be in the same situation as Marito, though he's just a shell of a bean.

I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one who has a problem with this.

I'm sure it's a bad idea to collect raw heads and such. ...... I picked it up.

I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I've seen it before.

I've never seen this kind of ore before. Where did you get it?

"I picked it up at Garne Castle. The Gold Demon King says it sometimes falls when he's cleaning up. It's some kind of ore from the demon world.

"Hmm, I can sense a faint magical power similar to that of the Gold Demon Lord. I'm not sure if the magic in the air has crystallized or what.

I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

The color of the item is just right to remind you of the Golden Demon King.

It's a treasure chest whose bottom is still visible, and this time's memories will not change that.

Oh, the border is coming into view.

A good amount of time has passed since I came to this world, but I guess I haven't spent it all yet.

I'm secretly looking forward to seeing how much I can fill up at the end of my life.
