305 Episode 212: The Demon King's Name and Tourist Interruption

― ― · · · · perspectives ― ―

There was a connection between the Demon King and the Four Heavenly Kings by a spell mark (Kurth). This is essential for the Four Heavenly Kings to be the Four Heavenly Kings.

This case of breaking the connection is based on three things: "The Demon King dies", "The Four Heavenly Kings die", and "The Demon King intentionally cuts".

Conversely, if the connection is broken without meeting any of the three conditions, some abnormality has occurred.

Is your connection to Nakhalti gone?

No, there is a sensory connection. It doesn't seem like Nakhalti is dead.

However, it cannot interfere with the connection that should exist. It's a strange sensation that you can't touch even though you can see it.

"... I've never seen anything like this before."

Graveford, the Four Heavenly Kings, dies, and the connection to Nakhalti, the other Four Heavenly Kings who was sent to investigate, is abnormal.

Nakhalti had a transfer mark (Kurth) and a high survival ability.

It was definitely dangerous, but I thought Nakhalti would bring back at least some information, so I ordered an investigation...

What's going on on the Giant Island?

If you come here, there is no doubt that there has been an extraordinary abnormality.

Should we send in additional personnel? But I can only think of one person who can handle a situation that even Nakhalti can't handle. "But one of them..."

"I'm sorry, but I can't go to the investigation. I definitely can't be seen by the brave [...] or [...] or [...]

A man as thin as a shadow reacts to my own words.

"It's okay, I know your mission." But you can give me some advice, right? "

Yes, of course. As long as there is no possibility of engaging with the brave, we will not hesitate to cooperate with the Demon King.

Given his mission, there is no risk of contact with the brave. It is very unlikely that a brave man will be on the island of the Giant, but it is not zero, so we cannot allow him to proceed to the investigation.

Still, his curse mark (Kerth) is extremely useful, so the situation is extremely difficult right now. I didn't hesitate to use it before I summoned the brave, so I felt it was superfluous.

“So, what do you think of this situation?”

“First of all, Nakhalti must have been captured by the man who killed Graveford. Demon King, can you disconnect from Nakhalti?"

"... no, I don't think so."

To disconnect, you have to touch the connection. It was impossible to disconnect in the current situation where the connection could not be touched.

In addition, there is a possibility that the captured Nakhalti will escape, and there is no reason to increase the number of frames when there are already more frames, so I don't really intend to break the connection.

"It looks like you're quite strongly isolated." The fact that the Demon King and the Four Heavenly Kings are disconnected may mean that they are not in this world. "

"... are you in [Goddess Realm] or [Subspace]?"

"Or maybe the 'discarded world'. Wherever we are, there is no way to check with us right now. Naturally, Nakhalti's metastasis is no longer possible.”

"That's really troublesome..."

The three I just mentioned are not an easy place to go anywhere. It is no exaggeration to say that it is impossible to go to the "realm of goddesses" through difficulties.

Moreover, I can't get out of here due to the constraints of the Demon King, and he can't go out due to his mission. The Four Heavenly Kings are virtually wiped out, even if they try to send in other men.

Is he (...) being contacted?

"No, I haven't heard from you since the Eldia raid."

I know people who can go to the "discarded world", but I can't contact them at all from a long time ago.

I knew the situation on the brave side, and I was a competent person (...) with knowledge we didn't even know...

When that happens, we'll have to prioritize creating the Four Heavenly Kings.

“Yes, what we need to do now is increase the number of subordinates we can move.”

I don't know if I can do much.

Before I summoned the brave man, I managed to do my best.

"Speaking of subordinates, you've thought about it a lot." To take advantage of the final trials that are the enemies of mankind. "

“I didn't think about it. I only followed the Lord's instructions."

"That's right." I am grateful to your Lord. [M] Thanks to this, there's more than enough room for strength, and the Four Heavenly Kings you create can also be specialized in shadow leaps. "

I can't beat anyone but the hero, and the hero can't win the final trial.

Now, logically, we won't lose. Exactly, the enemy is an ally.

In anticipation of the duel with the brave, I wonder if the next Four Heavenly Kings would be better to specialize in combat?

"Yes, even if you specialize in shadow jumping, you will have limited opportunities to do so now." If Zelbane and Graveford had worked out a plan, we wouldn't have had to specialize in combat. ”

Until now, the Four Heavenly Kings were mostly specialized in shadow leaps, or specialized in troops.

Since both require a long preparation period, it would be useless to create them from now on.

"Now, who shall we do this to..."

I will open the list of candidates for the Four Kings. [M]

It is lined with information about humans who died within a week in Japan and who are qualified to override the Shitenno character.

There are not many Four Heavenly Kings, but there are not many who have aptitude. Whether or not you can create the Four Heavenly Kings with the ability you want, depends on your luck.

"The purpose is immediate strength... I think I'll use this [Vinwalt]." I'll take care of the preparations. "

Yes, I understand.

There is no god to wish for, but I hope this new Four Heavenly Kings will help.

― ― Admiral's perspective ― ― ―

It took me about 10 minutes to retrieve the information from Nakhalti.

Even though I pulled the information, I didn't understand everything about Nakhalti.

It's like copying an HDD, for example. Data itself exists, and access is free, but we don't know what it says unless we actually access it.

Alta will be scrutinizing everything, so I'll let you know what you need later.

A: I'll take care of it.

Previously in the Kingdom of Sanokia, when we pulled information from Londoline in a similar way and entrusted Alta with scrutiny, we got very little important information.

Apparently, Rondoline was the new Four Heavenly Kings recently summoned to fill the vacancy, and she had little contact with the Demon King, making the information she could obtain very limited.

In addition, the Demon King decided that Londoline could not be reactivated along the way, and disconnected by the curse mark (Karth), so it was said that there was less information available.

I was able to acquire information about the Demon King's Mark (Kurth). "That was important information about him..."

This time, Nakhalti was the Four Heavenly Kings from the beginning, so he would definitely have more information than Londoline.

In addition, by cutting the space, I was able to prevent interference from the Demon Lord and extract all the information.

For myself, I don't need any information about the Demon King, but it would be helpful if I gave it to the Fake Heroes group led by the Nanba Inn, which aims to defeat the Demon King.

"Uu, uuu..."

To tell the truth, Nakhalti's personality hasn't disappeared yet.

Apparently, the shock to the soul caused by the combo alone would not eliminate the personality of the Four Heavenly Kings.

However, I put a relentless load on it, so I should never wake up again.

Having pulled the information, I have nothing to do with Nakhalty's personality.

Remove Nakhalti's personality from his soul and restore 5% of his personality with. Ah, slavery is a must for restoration.

Well, Demon King......

Nakhalti muttered as she lost consciousness.

It was the Devil King who mumbled whether it was a technique of high loyalty or if it became unrecoverable.

"Demon King..."

I reached out to Nakhalti to manipulate my soul again.

"Master Holly..."

Yeah?

My hand stops.

After processing Nakhalti, the face excluding Dora and the giants' daughters was collected in the [Room].

Since it is late at night, it is time for a good boy to go to bed. Mio is a bad boy who stays up late.

"Hey, I need to change my schedule a lot."

It's unusual. Master looks so serious.

Mio, are you implying that you don't usually look serious?... I don't think so.

Oh, I've got some insignificant information on the boulder.

"It's a combination of abilities and information from the Four Heavenly Kings." Could it be that the crisis in the tourist area that your master was concerned about? In that case, I'm sure Master will take it seriously. "

As Sella said, if there was a crisis in the tourist area, it was possible that she had a serious expression on her face.

"The sightseeing area (that way) was fine." The problem was the information about the Demon King. I didn't know that before, but it seems that the demon king's name is Holly. "

At first, I thought I misheard Nakhalti's murmur and tried to access the information I pulled, but it seemed like I was right.

It is information that has not been obtained from the Four Heavenly Kings so far, including Londoline, and it cannot be said to be important information in normal circumstances.... honestly, I'm glad Nakhalti mumbled to me.

"Even though you're the Devil King, Holly?" If you were a demon king, wouldn't Dark and Evil look better? "

"It's a name far removed from the Demon King's impression, isn't it..."

It is natural to translate "Holy" into Japanese to become "Holy". As for the name to be given to the king of [Magic], it is unnatural.

"It's certainly unnatural, but that's not what matters. The important thing is that someone I know has a girl named [Holy (Elbow)]."

Since the Four Heavenly Kings are reincarnated, even if the Demon King is reincarnated, nothing is wrong.

As a demon king, it's not so unnatural if you just play with it as a Japanese person. In that case, the demon king would have memories of the Japanese era...

No, it's just a stony coincidence, isn't it?

"If it's a coincidence, that's fine." However, since there is a slight possibility, we can't afford not to check it. "

"Can't you tell from the memory of the Four Heavenly Kings...?"

I shake my head to the side. I realized I had the cherry-blossom idea.

"Unfortunately, I didn't know. In Nakhalti's memory, the Demon King was always wearing a mask and his voice was voiced. I didn't know if it was a man or a woman because I was wearing clothes that didn't show my body."

"I see..."

The Demon King seemed to hide his identity thoroughly.

"At first, I think my height was about the same as my acquaintance." She's a junior high school girl, and she wasn't very tall. "

What kind of contact is there between JC and Master?

"She's my best friend's sister... Rin's best friend." There were quite a lot of contacts, and we were close. "

The girl's name is Saint Asai. Yoshinobu Asai, my best friend's sister, Rin's best friend, and a girl close to me.

I'm sure he's one of the closest people I know.

"...... If you're that close, you can't ignore it."

Mio nodded convincedly.

A close acquaintance may become a demon king and be hostile to humans.

It was very unpleasant, and it was impossible to leave it like that. At least, the sightseeing mood blew up.

Yeah. So, in the morning, I'll leave Giant Island and prepare to head into demon space.

The main purpose was to confirm the demon king's identity. And if the Devil King were to be my acquaintance, what (...) and (...) would be (...)?

It was a vague expression, but since I didn't know the demon king's situation, I could only make a decision.

Until now, I had no plans to be directly involved in the [Demon King's Crusade is the work of a hero].

However, if the Demon King was an acquaintance of mine, I can't say so. In accordance with my priorities, I will disregard any inconvenience.

If the Demon King wasn't an acquaintance, it was highly likely that he would return without doing anything. If you're not an acquaintance, it's the [Demon King's Crusade].

For the record, it's just that the sightseeing on Giant Island has changed a bit, so I can say that I decided on my next destination at the right time.

It is very unusual for me that tourism is not included in the objective by a millimeter. At the very least, I would never go sightseeing in a 'way'. I don't know 'Return'.

"In the first place, I don't know if there is a place where I can sightsee in the demonic realm..."

"Not 'In the morning, I'll go to the demon realm', but just to get ready?" If you're a master, you can go to the Demon Realm right away, right? "

"Oh, let's get ready first." The demon king was my opponent. Too much influence to do as I please. It would be better to talk to the people involved beforehand. ”

Mostly when the Demon King was my acquaintance.

In that case, I couldn't let a brave man defeat the Demon King. As a result, I think there will be various inconveniences, so I would like to adjust the area in advance.

"In the meantime, the head of the Kingdom of Sanokia, the representative of the Demon King's Crusade, and the fake heroes are essential." I may use my position as a Queen Knight Jean, so let's talk to Queen Kastar (Sakya). In the future, I'll contact the Crimson Empire Emperor (Scarlet) just in case..... "

I'm going to list the people that I think will be influenced by contacting the Demon King, and the people who should exchange information.

Most of the people involved know about my situation, so it's easy and good to keep the explanation to a minimum.

The problem is that I don't have much information about the Demon King, and it's going to take a lot of time to adjust.

Until now, I was not interested in the Demon King, but it seems that it would be better to gather information in earnest.

I didn't want to get involved, so I didn't have to look into anything myself.

If you decide to get involved, you should look into it.

Mistress, you don't care if I'm not interested at all, do you?

Yeah, so let's do a lot of research as part of preparing for the demon realm.

Is it best to have Alta summarize the information? Including information from Nakhalti.

A: We have already put it together.

As always, Alta works fast.

After that, you might want to talk to the elf's storyteller (Lily-san). It was possible that they had information about the demon king of the past. High Elves sometimes ask Tin (formerly Yuri Tin), the princess of the Fire Dragon. I've been running the Adventurer's Guild for a long time.

"It's going to take longer than I thought... haaa"

I remembered from Mio's stretch, but it was late at night.

"There's nothing more to talk about now." Let's do the rest after we leave Giant Island. In the meantime, just think of it as a little busy going forward. "

I told her what to tell her, so let's go to bed today and act tomorrow.

The next morning, in the "Room", Dora explained what happened last night in an easy-to-understand manner (Mio).

I wanted Dora to come too......

"It's time for a good boy to go to bed." Dora is a good girl, isn't she? "

Yeah! Oh, Mio left me alone, so it's not nice?

"Yes, Mio is a bad boy."

My Dora is a good girl. Mio is a bad boy.

"What? That's where I get my inquiries? In the first place, it was your mistress who woke you up, right?"

“All right, now I'll put the good boy Mio to bed with Dora.”

Nakama!

"That's why it's a bit of a mental age..."

In Mio's spiritual age, he wants Dora to stop treating him the same way.

Master, breakfast is ready.

So Sella enters the "Room".

Mio was the explainer, so I entrusted Sella and Sakura with preparing breakfast.

To be precise, the only part of the serving that was included in the < Infinite Storage (Inventory) >. Anyway, Selah is helpless in cooking. Also, I'm more powerless than a cherry.

"Yeah, I'm coming."

Rice!

Leaving the 'Room' and leaving the tent, the dishes were arranged on the table, and all the other members were seated. The tables of the giants' daughters are 125 times larger than those of humans.

Rice, miso soup, and dishes made with giant wild vegetables from Mt. Infinity are lined up for breakfast.

For the record, we are collecting giant barbs in the bamboo harvesting forest, so we plan to have barbecued rice lined up at the dining table soon.

Thank you.

Not long after the meal had begun, the giant daughters were dazed for some reason.

When asked why, he said, "The food is too delicious."... oh, it's your first time eating Mio's food. Until now, I only ate the food I had been given in the village.

Then, including the maple, the eyes of the giants' daughters looking at Mio clearly changed.

After breakfast, I told the giant daughters that I was leaving Giant Island.

"It's a very sudden story." What happened last night? "

The story is so sudden that it is only natural for the maple to be in doubt.

"Ah. In fact, the four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King Army appeared after the eagles went to bed." You must be one of Graveford's people who attacked the village. It looks like Graveford's dead and he's here to investigate. ”

"Huh!? Are you still on the island?!"

"!?" × 5

Nervousness ran through the faces of the mackerel and the giants' daughters. It's okay, it's been processed.

“That's no problem. We got rid of it.... I just got some important information from him, and I got a reason to go home."

"The reason for this is that it has something to do with this island?"

"No, it has nothing to do with this island." That's why you can rest assured. "

"Thank goodness..."

Geographically speaking, Giant Island is not a place to engage with the Demon King's army.

The Graveford Mark (Kerth) is too good for me, so I was just looking for the Giant Island, where the Giants would be finished. Now that Graveford is dead, there is no chance that the Demon King's army will be involved.

The Demon King's army would not want to send a demon race (one) to an island where both of the Four Heavenly Kings disappeared.

In addition, there is a branch of the Advanced Chamber of Commerce, and there are also combatants (maids), so even if the Demon King's army comes for any reason, it should be possible to defeat it.

Well then, should we hurry home?

"You don't have to push yourself. I'm not in a hurry."

"... yes, I understand!"

The conversation was over, so I finished cleaning up the food and camp, and quickly withdrew.

It was obviously not my imagination that the Giant's daughters were walking fast when they were returning.... I'm not talking about fighting for a minute or a second, am I?

In the first place, it had been a long time since the demon king appeared.

Even if the Demon King were Sage Asai himself, it is unlikely that something (...) has become (...) hand (...) slow (...).

It doesn't make sense to worry about a minute and a second now. Rather, it is the relative lack of preparation that is more problematic, causing bad results. I will focus on preparation over time and aim for the best that is possible from now on.

When we returned to the giant village, we went straight to the village chief's house and told him to leave the giant island.

"I'm leaving the island, but the branch of the Advanced Chamber of Commerce in the village has a resident." I also have regular potions, detoxification and decursion potions, and I think I can rely on them when I'm in trouble because I have regular products that are human-sized. Then, if you have a message for me, please tell the expatriate. "

In fact, this may be the first report on the Advanced Chamber of Commerce giant island branch.

When I asked the giants to prepare the branch's land, building materials, and business members, they would help me without asking me any details, so I decided that I did not understand the role of the branch and how to use it.

The Advanced Chamber of Commerce Giant Island Branch is a branch that mainly purchases huge materials.

However, its true purpose is to follow the Giants. As for the nature of the Giant Clan, it is weak against weak things. It's a little tough to rely on merchants in the port city when you have trouble.

There are places in the village that you can rely on when you need it, but it's completely different. It's as secure as a 24-hour convenience store.

“Thank you so much for everything. But are you sure? Putting potions in this village means losing the opportunity to sell on other lands, right?”

“It's okay, I've been thinking about it.”

Having a stock of goods on a giant island with no liquidity would greatly limit the opportunity to sell goods. In other words, "the Giants can only sell when they need it."

General merchants should avoid this situation, but it has nothing to do with the Advanced Chambers of Commerce exchanging goods via. Because it is a very unorthodox chamber of commerce where there is no deterioration due to transportation costs, lead times, or time, and all inventory can be shared among all stores.

"If Jin-sama says that, then it must be really okay." Thank you for using it. So you're leaving the island right away? ”

“Yeah, I'm going to. I'm not in a hurry, but I've never been there before."

“Ok, just could you wait a little while to leave if you can?”

I didn't think I'd be able to wait here. How much is the "little" of the Giants?

“I don't mind if it's not too long, but is there anything?”

"Yes, I'd like to see you off at the village gate." I really want to hold a feast, but if you want to leave the island early, I think the villagers will be sick if you don't just see them off. Please wait for 10 minutes, as we will gather people in a hurry. "

"... I see."

Apparently, I was still underestimating the Giants' power of gratitude.

"I didn't expect to see all the villagers off just by leaving the island..."

Ten minutes later, all the villagers were really near the entrance to the village. There were supposed to be villagers at work, but they were all there.

Even when looking at the unlocked maps, the blue (friendly) markers are still lined up.

The Giant Clan, whose body and voice were so loud, was ghastly, so it was incredibly powerful anyway.

"It's really gathered everyone..." Jin-san and the others are very popular, aren't they? "

"I didn't think I'd make it this far, either."

Perhaps the influence of previous life, the maple that is less appreciated than other villagers is slightly attracted.

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for your patience." The villagers are finally here. "

The village chief shows the main road leading to the entrance of the village, clearing the center of the road and lined with giants on the left and right.

It was like a triumphal march or something. "I'm not coming, I'm not coming back, I'm coming back..."

From the village to the port town, the giant daughters are scheduled to carry us, but the village chief told us to walk on our own to the main street at the entrance of the village.

Because when we're transported by the Giants, they can't see us. I can only be puzzled by the way you treat me as if I was an entertainer or something.

"Thank you, Jin-sama, for everything." Please come again. "

"Yeah, I'll be back if I get the chance."

This is where we say goodbye to the village chief.

He said he would come if he had the chance, but if Daewoo dropped him off so far, the difficulty was that it was no longer an easy atmosphere to come to.... no, I'm pretty sure they're coming.

No way, the next time you come back, you won't be seen off by the villagers.

When I broke up with the village chief and walked along the main street, my confusion about the treatment of entertainers became even stronger.

Obviously, the voices and reactions of the villagers next to us are getting louder. Below is an excerpt from the line of the villagers.

"Jin-san and the others are leaving, so let's all cheer!" (Female) "

"Oh! Leave it to me!"

"Thank you! Thank you! (Male)"

"Yes! Mr. Jin has seen us!" (Female) "

"Come again!" You're always welcome! (Male) "

"I love you, Jin-sama!" (Female) "

"Huh? My wife, I...?" (Male) "

"Hold me!"

"...... (Male)"

There's a poor man. It's confusing in a different sense.

”What do you mean, the pressure is so great...”

Sakura muttered as she was slightly depressed.

The number of people is 1,000, but it's like being surrounded by 125,000 people in volume.

"When I hear that, it feels extraordinary..."

There are not many opportunities to be surrounded by more than 100,000 people.

Japanese baseball stadiums have a capacity of about 50,000 people, so they are under pressure for more than two domes.... is this calculation correct?

"After all, Master seems to be the most attracted attention." The people in the village are all talking about your name. "

Of course, because Jin-san is the representative.

"It's a problem for a maid to stand out more than her husband, isn't it?" It's a major piece of work, but.... "

This time, I was the representative of the Advanced Chamber of Commerce, and everyone else came as a maid, so it would be natural for my visibility to jump through and increase.

Master, why don't you wave your hand around the corner?

Encouraged by Mio, he responded with a light wave of his hand, and the voices of the villagers surged.

Since it is now at a level equal to noise, lowering your hand to the boulder will obviously increase the look of disappointment. I couldn't help it, so when I waved my hand again, my voice increased even more.

... I feel like an entertainer who serves as a fan.

Even as they arrived at the entrance to the village, the villagers continued to cheer. You're going to stay like this until you can't see us?... it's like this.

The villagers have no sign of returning, but it is good to think that the drop-off is over.

Well then, let's go to the port.

Yeah, I'll take care of it!

Transported to the daughter of a giant headed by a maple, she begins her journey to the port.

Not to mention, the Giants kept seeing us off until they couldn't see us.

"Mackerel, watch the curve over there."

"No more! If you're not in a hurry, I won't fall over there!"

When I met Maple... the Maple fell and was stunned by her pants, so I urged her to pay attention just in case, and Maple shyly denied it.

It is unclear whether the person is aware of it, but at the time when the head is marked with "If you are not in a hurry", the safety in the case of being in a hurry cannot be guaranteed.

I didn't seem to be in a hurry this time, and I crossed the curve without falling, and arrived at the port safely.

The birds do not enter the port town, and they are likely to return to the village, so they will be dropped off near the outer wall.

"It's time to say goodbye to Jin-san." Definitely, come back to the village! You're welcome! "

Maple said cheerfully, infiltrating a little loneliness.

In addition, the other five giant daughters nodded in tune with the words of the maple, looking normally lonely.

"Yeah, sure. When you're done, keep me posted on the island."

Of course! Leave it to me!

Well then, I'll see you soon.

Yeah, see you soon!

I deliberately clapped my farewell to the koji.

This is not the parting of my life, and I will continue to be related to Kaoru who became a member of the Advanced Shokai Giant Island Branch, so I don't need to say goodbye in a very eloquent way.

I turned my back to the koji and walked to the exterior gate.

It was the guard who went to the gate. For some reason, he had a stunned expression on his face.

"I was surprised. I didn't know there were merchants brought by the Giants..."

Business has gone well, and we've gotten along well with the people in the village.

Apparently, this was the first time the Guard had seen a merchant who had gotten along with the Giants.

"I see, that's good."... Actually, I'm not coming back to the village, so I was hoping to listen to you the next time the Giants came in. Worst of all, there was a chance they were attacked by giant creatures on the road. "

It's been days since I left the port. Regardless of the outcome of the business, he didn't expect to stay in the village for that long.

I told you I have the power to protect myself, didn't I?

"That's right." Anyway, I'm glad I got home safe and sound. "

"Ahh..."

The answer became vague because it was questionable when it was said that "nothing happened".

The maple was an accident, and the village was cursed. The only thing that's safe is really going home.

If so, I should report the curse and the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon King Army to the port city. However, I am certain that I will be held captive by the port city for a long time if I report it.

I do not say that I want to go home as early as one minute and one second, but I do not want to take time to explain the problems that have already been solved. I'll leave the report to the Expatriates and the Giants.

Well, when we get here, we'll really just go home. I don't have anything special to say, so I rolled it up.

After going to the chamber of commerce, asking for the ship to be prepared, using the "portal" in the ship that set sail, and transferring to the Kastal Mansion, the tour of the giant island ended.

It was time to conquer the Demon King.
