289 Lesson 257

If I wanted to catch a demon king army soldier in the corner, for some reason there was a third regiment leader.

When I solved the phantom magic that hit me on the encounter in my temper, I was begged for my life with a look of fear on my face.

"What the hell is going on..."

"Usat, is she the leader of the Third Army?"

"Yeah, right..."

Mr. Leona's gaze is directed at the woman sitting on the wall.

Screw bent horns specific to the demon clan that grew on its head.

Hannah, a light-purple haired woman who passed through one corner like a sidetail, shuddered when she noticed my gaze.

"... really?"

"It should…"

Don't you have too much trauma?

Nair, who sees how frightened Hannah is, dives into her voice and talks to her.

"Ma, I think I'm the reason this guy's like this, so I'll interrogate him."

"Okay.... Burlin, please stand down."

Spread your magic like a shadow from your feet and let the burlin out.

Talk to her, even more frightened by Burlin, who came out to be summoned from her feet, as Nair, who leaned back, looked down.

"I see you again, huh?"

"... eh?"

"Oh, can't you remember? Is this easier to understand?"

As Nair transforms into a black owl, Ms. Hannah steps back on the spot in surprise.

"Ah, the owl then...!?"

"Yes, I'm going to ask you a few questions now, but answer them honestly."

To Hannah, who nodded frightened, Nair begins to ask questions, once again returning to the appearance of the Demon Clan.

"Tell me where you belong."

"… Hannah Lowmia, Commander of the Third Regiment of the Demon King's Army."

"Why were you here?"

……

"Say it. Or can I leave it to your husband back there?"

"I was trying to get out of here, here, here!"

Nair, with an awful smile on her face, points at me, while Hannah makes a confession.

I'm getting less and less convinced with my treatment, but more than that...

"Escape...?"

"What do you mean? Explain it properly."

She said she was trying to escape before our battle with the Demon King's Army got in full swing.

Why would the Third Army Captain's girlfriend? And I wondered, Demon King Army - the situation of the Demon Nation is worse than we thought, and judging that there was no way forward, she seems to have been caught by us trying to discern the Demon Nation to this day.

"The Demons, that's it..."

If you want to escape, keep going... No, should I just ask for information?

Either way, if you're not willing to harm this one...

Don't look sweet, Usato.

"... hmm?"

"I know as much as you're thinking right now. Anyway, I know you're thinking if you get the information out, you can miss it or something -"

Nair turns his face to Hannah.

Hold both Ms. Hannah's cheeks in with your hands as she tries to distract herself from her gaze, forcing her gaze together.

"Phew, phew!?"

"This guy would betray any one for his own protection. I'm sure now, even if you pretend to obey, they might either hold the lie or let the enemy know where you are."

Her eyes gleam only for a moment when she looks up at Nair's eyes, but after a few seconds or so she blues them as soon as possible.

"Look, you just tried to do phantom magic on me, didn't you?"

"Chi, no..."

"You're not, are you? But too bad. It doesn't work because I'm a member of the devil's family."

"Ah, ugh..."

What the hell am I being shown?

Bad girl, VS, bad girl? More bad character is likely to win.

Well, the phantom magic doesn't work because Nair was preempting the spell of resistance.

"Honestly, it's for your own good to talk. We don't have time for this. In some cases, I have to do what you hate the most... but I don't know how."

"Hi-hi, hi-no..."

Normally scary.

What do you mean, you don't even feel that I'm incorporated into the content of that disgusting thing naturally?

But I just thought it was too much.

"Wait, Nair."

"... what?"

Nair takes her gaze off Mr. Hannah and looks back this way.

"I don't think it's just fear."

……?

For a moment, a nae with an expression that said she didn't know what she was talking about tilts her neck.

He said something about terror.

Devil Joke? That's not what I hate. "

"Grrr."

"Funny little animals."

Whoa, you can't get mucky here.

Take a small, deep breath and kneel on the ground so you can gaze at her, who took turns sitting down with Nair.

"Mr. Hannah."

"Ha, ha..."

"If you can be honest with me, I'll let you go."

"... eh?"

If her words were true, it would mean she didn't want to be in this fight in the first place.

I don't know why, but I'm sure it's unpleasant enough to avoid a fight.

I don't want to imagine a reason enough for her to want to escape with a strong magic called phantom magic, but if there's no lie in her words, I guess I can let her go.

"If you want to get out of here, you can do that."

"Will you let me get away with it...?"

"Yes, I won't lie"

With the most natural grin possible, Mr. Hannah also regains her composure.

All right, even if I am, I'm not just called the devil.

Let me get this information straight.

"Here, the terrain here is -"

At that time, a slight winging noise sounds overhead.

Immediately react to it and at the same time throw a caged healing magic bullet in your right hand as you turn around behind it.

"There!"

The healing magic bullet released disappears when it hits the wall with the bursting sound of Baba, the green particle.

Afterwards, it was a single black blade that fell from the sky.

I knew someone was watching.

"Don't think you can get away with this! I'll definitely drop you next...!... Oh, sorry. So I'm going to go on with what I just said."

"Wow, I'll show you! I'm beside you!! So don't kill me after I let you get away with it!!"

"Uh?"

... Shit, I did it.

Nair was smiling as she nodded at Hannah trying to accompany her in a desperate manner.

"That's right. You've done a great job! Yo, demon!"

'I know I can't help it. I'm usually scared of that change. "

"Usato......"

The ferm you're pulling and Mr. Leona holding your forehead.

And Hannah on my feet.

Having checked my situation again, I put my arms together and meditated on my eyes.

"All right, let's go!"

After thinking about it, let's move on.

All this time I decided to give up my thoughts.

●

Then, following the guidance of Hannah, who was most of us, we proceeded inside the city, which had been reconstituted by the magic of the Demon King.

Before we left, Fermu suggested that we could manipulate Mr. Hannah with the help of Nair's vampires, but that seems impossible.

To her, who has the magic to act on the spirit of phantom magic, the art of the same lineage is ineffective, and if you do poorly, you can't even hear it.

That's what leads her, but naturally she also encounters soldiers on patrol.

"Dear Hannah!? Why are you here!?"

"... Wow, I'm just coming to search for the brave ones myself. Continue your search."

"Ha, yes!"

But that's the Third Army Commander.

I could break up with a soldier I encountered without being suspicious as a matter of course...... but when Nair breaks up, he puts his hand on the soldier's shoulder.

"Good luck with that, huh?"

"Ha!? Oh!!"

"Bye."

Nair waved at the soldier in an effortless manner.

Leaning her neck toward her incredible behavior, Nair, who turned forward, grabs Hannah's shoulder.

"You didn't do anything suspicious?"

"! Chi, I didn't do that under oath..."

"Heh... so what's this?"

What Nair showed me was like a little piece of paper.

When she saw it, Hannah raised her voice, "Hih."

"This was caught in the soldier's armor earlier, but what the hell is this?"

……

"Oh!? If you look closely at this, it's cloth! It says," Forced to take the form of a tear! "

……

"Oh!? And if you look closely, the hem of your clothes is torn too. Oh, my God! I don't know why! It wasn't torn until just now!"

Pale face.

Nair leans over to her ear with an unchanged smile on her face, not even her earliest gaze.

After I turned my arm around my neck so I couldn't escape.

"You'll see when you do it, won't you?"

"... hey"

Scary!?

I'm scared of Hannah, who asked the soldiers for help without me and Leona noticing anything, and Nair, who is threatened after spotting it in an instant!?

I honestly fear the fact that something like battle is going on outside our consciousness.

"Your demon is scared."

"Yeah, I think you're probably more scared than me."

…… Right. "

Mr. Leona, what is your silence now?

We will follow Hannah's guidance as she cares about her reaction walking next door.

Reach an open spot at once.

It's still a place covered by black walls, but there's something like an iron door on the central ground.

It's about three or four meters in size... pretty big.

"This is the entrance to the underground castle. But to open this place, we need manpower."

"Usato"

"Yes, sir."

Insert your finger into the big door and cage your strength.

... You don't need dark magic for this.

"Mmm!"

Lift the door and knock it to the ground so that it remains flipped.

When you look at the door, make sure there's a staircase in the back.

"Okay, I'll let you in."

"A boulder. Let's go, Leona."

"Oh."

……

Nair and Leona descend the stairs leading down to the basement as they push Hannah's back, which is pointing her eyes.

A short descent down the stairs takes you out into an ancient passage lined with stone columns and cobblestones.

"You've been in an old place a long time."

"... this is in a castle that has been rebuilt. The Demon King is on the upper level of the castle… he is now on the lowest level."

If that's the case, I'll have to go down to the lower level.

If the black array I let go was to monitor our movements, we should act as far as possible without staying on the spot.

"Well, show me around"

"... so, but just when I was walking here, he was suspicious... eh, yes! Let me show you!"

You were thinking the same thing as me, Nair is rushing Mr. Hannah.

Enemy Burlin's abilities, walking down the aisle and steadily going underground as he descends the stairs into which he entered.

Is Mr. Nagi safe fighting Nero Argens?

Is Kazuki fighting in the sky okay?

Did you and Amako get into the basement properly?

Walking in a place that only resonates in our own footsteps makes us nowhere to think.

"Mr. Hannah."

"Eh, what is it?"

"I want you to tell me why you tried to get out of the Demon King Army"

"... a, Anatanoseides"

"Hmm?"

"Nothing!"

Tilt her neck with a smile as she whispered something after a moment of stiffness, she would probably be forced to correct her by shaking her neck to the side.

For some reason, I listen to her words as she took a small, deep breath as she slammed a healing decopin into Nair, who erupted right behind Mr. Hannah.

"The Demon Clan has been over for a long time."

"... Is it over?"

In a way it might be the first time I've heard about the inside feelings on the part of the Demons.

Ferm was insensitive there, and we should ask him while we can afford it now.

"The land of the Demon King is dying. I don't know how long it's been, but the earth is steadily moving us to doom, losing our fruit."

"... I didn't see any signs until we got here."

I will say so to confirm.

Here, let's make a story that was just speculation accurate.

"That's because... Until recently, the Demon King had enchanted the earth and made it abundant. The demon king who used his power to let us escape in the battle ahead..."

"I am so weak that I cannot shed magic on the earth. You're right about Falga."

I nod to Hannah's words, as Leona was convinced.

To let the demons escape, huh?

I guess that's the last fireball I dropped.

"... the truth is, if the Demon King hadn't woken up... we might not have dreamed, we might have perished"

... Until now, Hannah's words and actions have been frightening, but now that she has spoken the words, she was a little different.

A face struck by despair that you can't even imagine ahead.

Since the first time I encountered him, I had the impression that he was a cunning, cowardly hand user, but that impression had also changed dramatically at all this time.
