70 Let's get started for now.

"Well, well, well. Thanks for the information.

The first place I stopped after returning to Taze was Marith's office, while Wolfe and Lakra were already relaxing at Ilias' house.

Of course, Ilias and Mikus were with them as their guards.

I've also prepared a research report on Garne, which includes information on Garne's current military strength and future growth plans.

It's possible that the Golden Demon King's abilities could produce more results than that, but the recent military expansion is an act of caution against the demons that have been gathering in the Garne demon world, and at this point, they can't be a threat to Taze.

Even if we continue to search for the best solution and expand our military, it will still take a long time to surpass Tarz.

It is also important to collect information when we are treated as a hypothetical enemy nation, but the pure advanced development is more valuable for this country.

We have to take into account whether we can use information from Earth or not, but the policies that the Golden Demon King can take are ones that she has already implemented and verified in the virtual world.

It's a policy that fits the world, and most of it will work just by imitating it.

However, there are differences in terrain, population, and other factors that could lead to disastrous results if they were simply copied, but Marito does not have to worry about that.

And the most important thing for the country at the moment is information about the Demon Lord.

What are you going to do about Taze's demon world for now?

It's hard to accept that a demon lord has already been resurrected, but from a historical perspective, there's little worry that the Blue Demon Lord will make a move. If Yugra hadn't mentioned his name, he would have been buried in the dark.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

But the demon king only created the demon world in order to find a peaceful place where he could sleep soundly, and he has never invaded the human world himself.

Most of the demons that drift to Taze also come from here, but they have never invaded under his command.

When they appear, the scale of damage will be larger than in other demon worlds, but the knights of Taze who have learned from the past will be able to minimize the damage.

There is a slime called "Demon Eater" that is more fearsome than any demon lord, and Taze is a country that is extremely protected by the terrain.

It's hard to worry about being attacked, but it's also hard to move from our side.

If we move to defeat them, we will inevitably have to go through two demon realms, and it would be dangerous to make the most powerful demon lord at the moment take us seriously.

I'm not sure what to make of that.

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

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

The Scarlet Witch King's location is information I got from Docora in the virtual world. 　

In the event that you're not sure what to do, you can always ask your doctor.

It was a place with a special security system, and only the supreme head of the Yugra cult, His Holiness Eupharo, could enter and leave alone.

Sensing the presence of such a disturbing person, Dokora said that he was investigating Rahite's movements.

And one time, when Raheit went to the Mejis demon world by himself, he followed him and ended up at the place where the Scarlet Witch King was.

He investigated the place he was told about in the virtual world just to be sure, and found an underground cave where many demons were gathering.

The monsters there were not from the Mejis demon world, but from the same lineage as the Garne demon world, those who suggested the existence of the "Scarlet Demon King".

I'm sure the Scarlet Witch King is still there at this point.

You can't take any action from here, but if you send a large strike force to the demon world, they'll notice you right away.

As long as his subordinate Raheit has blended into the human world, any conspicuous activity in the human world will be noticed.

At the moment, they are taking advantage of the fact that they know where he is to formulate countermeasures under the surface.

The same goes for the Purple Demon Lord. Even if he has a base somewhere in Kuama, it is not advisable to look for it and provoke him.

The Gold Demon Lord drove the Purple Demon Lord into a corner, and there is no mention of any human intervention there.

I guess we'll just have to leave that to the big boys. Oh, and the Demon Lords are worried about the possibility that Seiya Yukura is still alive. It's no wonder he's still alive when he's creating resurrection magic and creating immortal demon lords.

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

In the past, the threat of the Demon Lord was too great, so he created the Demon Lord, and Seiya Yukura once destroyed all the Demon Lords.

It was not fair, and he saved the world by his own spoonful.

But what about the current era, the gap may be closing now that the number of Demon Lords has been reduced by one.

Even if he found Seiya Yukura, it might be difficult for him to gain his power again.

In the event that you've got a problem with a neighboring country being under the rule of a demon king, it doesn't seem like they have any hostile intentions towards humans, and when they returned to Tarz, they mentioned that they were thinking of quitting their position as king and coming here.

"Hahaha, you should've brought him with you. You should've brought him with you so we could have one less Demon Lord.

I'm not saying you have to get along with him, but you have to cut down on the killing intent.

By the way, I heard that you had a run-in with Lord Ratzel in Garne.

Ilias is looking uncomfortable, it seems that you have been in contact with him.

It was an event that could have ended their relationship, and there was a chance that Mikus or Lakra would have turned to Marito.

It's all worked out, though I've had to limit my reckless understanding and promise not to hide anything.

"That's where the buck stops, I suppose. I don't want to tell you what to do, because that's your problem, but it's terrible that you want me to stop hiding things from you.

If I want to hide something, I'll talk to you about it.

I don't think that's hiding anything, do you?

I'm relatively sane in this world. I don't have anything to hide. Yeah, but I'm not hiding the dark side.

Yeah, that's something even Lord Ratzel can't get out of you. But now that you're involved with the Demon Lord, I'm sure it won't hurt to introduce you to Lord Ratzel and Mix.

Marito clears his throat and turns to face the two, the change in his eyes and mood is quite impressive.

I think it could be used as a trick for a year-end party.

So, I'll give them a brief explanation of the dark side of Taze. The dark side also exists in Taze. Only Sir Raggedy and I know the members and can give orders to them. However, the existence of the Ministry of Darkness is known to all the leaders of the Order, and each Order has its own code of communication through the Ministry. You can assume that their actions will basically follow the rumors you hear.

I'm sure it exists. ......

"And there is one exception, who is always in the castle as my bodyguard.

"Oh, you're even guarding your brother?

It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're going to do with the money you have and how you're going to do it.

It's ...... certainly something I've been thinking about on a regular basis, but ...... are these guards of any great ability?

"Absolutely, I'm in the safest position in the country. If you don't believe me, pull your sword out right now and I'll let you play with it for once.

"...... Are you sure you want to be here?

It's easy to see that both Iliad and Mix are paying attention to their surroundings.

In fact, I think they're even wondering if we're not the ones in disguise.

I think he's probably behind them, though.

I'm sure he's behind them. "Now if you'll excuse me .........?

Ilias tries to pick up his sword and is startled.

When he looks at Ilias, he sees that the sword he was carrying at his waist is gone.

It was a custom-made sword, heavier than steel, and if it had been missing, he would not have noticed.

This means that the sword was taken from Ilias just as he was about to draw it.

He also looked to the side and saw that the dagger on Mix's hip was also gone.

The two of them notice this and look around.

Incidentally, we don't really look around, because we know we can't track them with our eyes anyway.

"What's up? What are you looking for? What are you looking for? (...)

I'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea.

This is ...... one of a kind .......

Is this a hallucination ......?

No, I just pulled it out and put it back in. I'm sorry if I startled you.

Suddenly, a voice from behind them made them turn around very quickly.

Of course, there was no one there.

"Oh, please don't try to look at me. I don't want to make any exceptions, and I don't want to take a life, whether it's your sister or a knight who serves this country.

The two of them stop moving for a moment, probably because they have a hand on their shoulder.

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

Can you make the weapon invisible?

Yes, because otherwise only the clothes would float.

I don't know why the voice came from behind me, but it seems to have gone around me.

Is it really necessary to stand behind a ...... person?

No, I'm just trying to give the impression that I'm a great guy.

You've ruined a lot of that.

That's a tough one. Do you have any advice for me?

I'd be surprised if the weapon in your hand turned out to be a bouquet of flowers or something.

Okay, well, next time I'll have a bouquet of flowers and an arm.

No more horror stories, okay?

You'll be surprised, yes, but the vector of surprise will be mixed with something else.

Do you ...... know this dark one, ......?

"Well, I've always been around Marito, and I've had occasional contact with him. Do you remember when we were playing board games and I gave Marito a piece of parchment?

Yeah, that's when the armor on display outside ...... fell over.

Yeah, I was asking for that, not Marito.

I'm sure you'll be pleased to know that I'm not the only one who's had to deal with this.

I didn't think they'd use an escort either. Now that I think about it, that might have been the only time you could have killed me.

...... Oh, yes, you did. No, I didn't.

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

The sweat on the faces of Ilias and Mikus was incredible.

Both of them are quite skilled, and probably realized the difference between them and the Dark Lord.

Over here?　I don't know, I'm too paralyzed to be scared.

"Are you stronger than Lord ...... Ragdoll?

"Yes, yes, I am. The strongest man in the land.

You're always so confident. I don't know where that comes from.

I don't know where your confidence comes from, but I'm not sure you can be proud of being the strongest when everyone else is as strong as a baby.

Oh, that's the level you're talking about.

It's not the first time I've seen inflation in my own family, but I have to admit that this Mr. Darkness is exceptional.

It's like there are people from a fantasy world mixed in with people from another fantasy world.

I'm not sure if you're related to Seiya Yukura or not.

You've got a good idea. ...... Oh no.

"What?

Stupid. ......

"What?

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

In addition, Marito gave me a great insight.

Incidentally, Ilias and Mixu's faces are turning pale.

It's amazing that they can make such beautiful faces.

Marito's face is also more upset than ever, and it looks like he really did it.

I'm sorry, but it looks like it's ...... goodbye.

Wait, wait, wait. We need to find out who's responsible for this and hold them accountable.

Of course it was you, sir, with your brilliant interrogation of Taze's most powerful darkie.

You're not really cut out for the dark side, are you?

That's absurd!　I do have a lot of slips in my tongue.

You're an idiot!　Take a lesson from Docola!

Well, let's calm down. We don't know your face or your name yet. We don't know your face or your name yet, but you're getting close to the heart of the matter, and I think you'll be okay.

Marito, if you hadn't slipped up, this would have been a joke!

No, I'm not!

I'm afraid I can't help you if you're the one who's to blame. I can't help you if you put the blame on me.

"No, no, no.

For the first time, Marito and I are speaking the same words, not that I want to feel sympathy for him.

I don't want to feel sympathy for him. "Okay, let's not pursue this. You should also refrain from accidentally probing him, I can't really defend him.

"Oh, let's forget it. You're both good, right?

Ilias and Mikus nodded curiously.

What a dangerous turn of events, this is nothing compared to the Demon Lord's army closing in!

I'm not sure what to make of this.

I'm not sure what to say. It is true that the fact that I am of the blood of the hero Yugra has been exposed, but the fact that I am a powerful master and servant of his Majesty through contract magic has not been exposed!

I'm sure you're not the only one who has a problem with this.

"...... Oh, no. If this happens...

"No, no, no, no.

I'm just kidding, since you guys seem to have gotten to the bottom of some of the facts of the world, I've decided to share some information with you.

You can hear the sound of walking, but you can't see it, and you can't even tell where it's walking in the room.

I cannot reveal my name at this time, but I am certain that I am a descendant of Yugra. I met you shortly before I ascended the throne. I have made a contract with His Majesty to protect his personal safety for the rest of his life on the condition that I share all the information he obtains.

Did you already know that Seiya Yukura was creating the Demon Lord?

Yes, but I thought I would not interfere unless I had more information than I had. But you guys have already found out the location of the resurrected Demon Lord, and if you don't explain the situation soon, you will lose credibility when the time comes. I thought it would be a good opportunity for you to get to the heart of the matter.

"I see. And you're messing with people.

I'm sorry, sir. It's Yggdras blood.

I'm sorry, it's Yggdrasil blood." "It's annoying how subtly believable it is. But why are you asking for information?

I have my own reasons, so let's just say this is all I can say at this point. In the event that you have any questions concerning where and how to use the internet, you can contact us at the web site.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure you'll be able to figure it out.

I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea.

It's enough to explain why he has power, but whether he can function as Marito's bodyguard is another story.

So it was a farce with that in mind.

It's just a nuisance for those involved.

"Of course, I will keep this matter confidential, and His Majesty has given me permission to freely kill anyone who knows my true identity.

I can't tell anyone about this even if you ask me to, and I don't want any part of this world.

"Well, I'd like to keep in touch with you, sir. I hope you will continue to do business with us, because you are worthy enough to be a citizen of the same planet as Yugra.

There are a lot of suspicions about you, but the fact that you've presented us with this information means that you're looking for some sort of action from us.

There's no such thing as a walk without a reason. I'd like to find out what he's trying to do, but it's hard to think without using .......

In the end, you have just proved that your ability is absolute and to some extent harmless.

It would have been easier to trust you if you'd just told me what to do, but you've gone to a lot of trouble.

If you wanted to, you could find out, couldn't you?

I don't think you'd want to risk your relationship to find out.

I like that you are different from Yugra. I'm going to be silent for now, if you need me, please call me.

Then silence fell, and I guessed that he was still in the room, but he didn't want to talk anymore.

"Well, forget it. Marito, is there anything else you want to talk about?　If you don't switch quickly, it'll come back.

"Yeah, well, I've got some good news for you. The case is finally ready.

Really?　Yes!

It's been a long time since I've heard such good news, and I puffed my chest.

Ilias, perhaps suspicious of the joy of the people, asked me a question with a suspicious look.

"It's rare to see you express such joy, what are you talking about?

I had a suggestion the day I met Marito, you know, the one where Maja's possession technique is applied?

Oh, yeah, that's the language translation guy.

It's Maya's original magic. I don't have to tell you how useful it is, right?　That's why I asked Marito if we could set up a magic research team in Tarz.

There are various technologies lacking to fully reproduce the knowledge of the world of Earth (here), and even if you understand the general mechanism, there are not enough parts and materials.

For example, just making a single flintlock rifle is not half as difficult as it sounds.

It requires ironware, special processing of screws and other parts, and gunpowder.

When it comes to modern weapons, the required technology rises dramatically, and special steel manufacturing technology and detonators are added.

It would be faster to throw a spear with magic power than to reproduce such a thing.

However, there are many ways to catch up with them, and that is magic.

The value of magic in warfare is low because in this world, there are many ores that take away the effect of magic by breaking its construction.

Due to the overdevelopment of technologies such as physical enhancement by magic, only basic magic is in widespread use.

In this world, the only people who fight mainly with magic are the clergy who have mastered purification magic effective against the undead, and wizards are seen as nothing more than caretakers who make fires and secure water.

In other words, even though this is a fantasy world, the level of magic is low, and there is plenty of room for growth.

The increased convenience of research is shown by Maya's possession techniques.

He had suggested to Marito that he would be able to do many interesting things if he could add the ideas of the people of Earth.

Of course, this would be like opening a Pandora's box of magic that would alter civilization and change the common sense of the world.

However, now that we have learned the level of Garnets' civilization, it is not difficult to restrain ourselves to a certain extent, and it would be permissible to create useful magic at a level adapted to this world.

In the first place, the level is low because they can't operate weapons, so there is no problem if they can raise the standard of living.

Aside from securing a budget, it's hard to find magic experts that match your ideal. It's been quite a challenge to narrow down the list of suitable people from the weirdos who would devote their lives to magic in this world.

Yes, it's important to be a researcher who can end up with a modicum of invention.

In this world where physics is stronger than magic, those who stick to magic research are usually those who have been captivated by the mysteries of magic.

Give such people the knowledge of nuclear fission, and it's not a catastrophe.

You have ambition, but not out of control, you are a sensible person who can take responsibility for your own actions, and you are competent to a certain degree.

I've been asked to keep looking for something that meets those narrow requirements.

What's the organizational structure going to be?

"The guy's good, but he's not very good at office work. So I've appointed one person to be in charge. You and the researcher will work under him, and we'll add personnel as needed.

It's dangerous to give the position of chief executive to a magic researcher. As an alien, I may be moderate, but I'm not familiar with common sense.

It's a good idea. Can we start working today?

"No, no, we'll meet later. We'll make arrangements as soon as the case is approved, but we have a lot of preparations to make.

I'm feeling more frustrated than ever, but I'm not greedy, even if the idea was adopted while I was traveling to Ghana, I'll still be cheering.

Yes, what about the mix?

Well, I'll be relieved of my duties as Lord Ratzel's bodyguard, but what do you want to do, ......?　You can go back to being an adventurer if you want, but why don't you use your considerable wisdom to assist your friend?

I'm not sure I want to do that.　I'm sure that's what you want!

So, it's better to leave it in your hands than to worry about it going somewhere else. I'm counting on you.

"Yeah, I'd appreciate it if Mixu could be my assistant.

Mixu is a skilled adventurer, but as a royal, he has learned magic and common sense.

He's as smart as his brother, and is one of the most sought after people in any genre.

He originally abandoned his country as an adventurer in order to solidify Marito's position, and now it won't be a problem for him to stay in his country. 　

I can't let this happen. I'll go home and examine the plan as quickly as I can.

"This is a trial phase, and all non-specialists will be working together, so don't forget your original duties.

After that, I hurried back home and dug out the plans I'd been secretly writing for the development of magic.

I spread out a bunch of parchments in my living room, and I'm wondering which one I should start with.

Should I start with my hobby? No, first I need to make some achievements and increase my budget.

Considering the level of difficulty--

"I'll start with this one and this one, or maybe this one for the aristocracy.

You've just been through so much, and yet you're switching to ...... so fast.

I'm used to that noise.　I'm used to that kind of noise.

It's been a long time since I've been afraid of a person. ......

In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at the best way to get the most out of your time.

In the virtual world, he is a great man who can slay a demon king with impunity.

It's a good thing you're not the only one.

The fact that you have provided us with information indicates that you see value in us. You should have a little more confidence since you've been approved by the heroic bloodline.

"That's true, but ...... hmm.

"Oh, Shishou, welcome back!　And I'm back!

What's with the pile of parchment?" "I thought the door was unlocked, Master Shosho, but you're home earlier than expected.

I'm not sure if they went out to buy groceries or not, but Wolfe and Lakra are back.

They are carrying a large amount of luggage in their hands.

I guess they needed to replenish their stockpile since they were going to be away for almost a month.

Here's the plan for the magic research, I've been asking Marito for permission to start a development team.

"Hmmm... I can't read ......, is that what you call Japanese?

These plans are written in Japanese, just in case there is a risk of leakage.

--I don't care if I'm not proficient in the language of this world.

The advantage of being from a different world is that you can understand it, but if you can read in the first place, you can get to this knowledge easily. You have to take advantage of being from a different world.

Hmmm, I've always found ...... to be a bit of a mystery.

From my point of view, it's a familiar language, but with kanji, hiragana, katakana and symbols, it might be troublesome for people from this world.

No, it's more like ...... I'm trying to understand it, but it's just not coming into my head.

I agree with you.

That's the way it is with other languages. The Wolfe is a very young language and it's easy to learn.

...... It's hard.

Wolfe is also facing the Japanese language, but he has a difficult look on his face, apparently he feels that Japanese is a difficult language in this world.

It seems that Japanese is a difficult language in this world.

...... No, wait, could that be the case?

And, no, no, no, no.

You should not switch your thinking like that when you have promised the Iliad.

I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do that, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.

However, the lack of magic power will greatly limit the magic you can use.

There are some ores that possess magic power, and if you can use them as an energy catalyst, you may be able to .......

I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you. ...... No, no, no. ......

You sound like a child.

You're like a child. - Exactly. If you had more energy in your eyes and face, people would appreciate you more.

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

It's a chance to finally get involved in the world of fantasy, so of course you're going to feel like a child.

--I wonder if Seiya Yukura, who had just arrived in this world, felt the same way.

I'm sure Seiya Yukura didn't have much knowledge of magic when he first came to this world.

However, he repeated various researches, and as a result, he created the taboos and the Demon Lords.

If 100% of the Japanese who come to this world produce bad results, it will be a problem for the hometown people who appear in this world in the future.
