Volume 6 - CH 1.4

Part 4

「Come down, you suspicious looking Demon over there!」

Having the carriage stopped at the city gate, they suddenly had spears turned towards them.

──This sure is a nostalgic conversational exchange.

He remembered the time when he was first summoned to this other world.

Diablo stood up on the carriage, and glared down at the soldiers.

「To point your spears at me, I am sure that you all have a suitable resolve for it, correct?」

「Uuu……Th, this guy……Is he a Demonic Being!?」

As expected of the security of the royal capital city gates.

Seeing an abnormal event taking place, around thirty soldiers gathered around in no time at all.

For those of lower positions, their proficiency wasn’t low.

A majority of them were level 30 Warriors. They were insufficient to fight against the Demon King’s Army, but it was enough for maintaining public order.

──Now then, what should I do?

Although he replied back out of momentum, it was an atmosphere that seemed like they wouldn’t let him pass through.

At the time at 《Fort Bridge Ulg》, he was somehow able to get through since the guard was acquainted with Rem and Shera.

And at the time at Faltra City’s inner gate, the Adventurer’s Guild Guildmaster Sylvie did the mediation.

Even in their journey up until now, he was able to pass through the city gates. At those times, Rem would skillfully negotiate with them but……unfortunately, she was unconscious right now.

──Huh? Could it be, is there no way to get through the gate with my Demon King role play?

A cold sweat fell down along Diablo’s spine.

Having no other choice, Lumachina tried to come forward.

Right now, she was in a position where she had to conceal herself. For the sake of that, she wore a robe with a hood that the followers of the Church used, and covered her mouth with a white cloth.

If Lumachina were to reveal her status, he would surely be able to pass through the city gates.

「Could you please let that person through?」

The dress wearing woman that appeared from the inner side of the city gates announced that.

Going *Eh!?*, the soldiers were surprised.

She had her black hair curled on the left and right, and she wore a white dress where the hem of the skirt was greatly stretched out.

He felt like he had seen her somewhere before but……

She lightly bent her knees and made a curtsy.

「It has been a while, Diablo-sama.」

The one that went *Wahー* and jumped out from the carriage was Shera.

「Alicia-san! It’s been so long!」

「Fufu……You are the same as always, aren’t you, Shera-sama.」

She responded with a sigh mixed in to Shera who hugged her.

He couldn’t tell at first because she was not wearing glasses and her hairstyle and attire was different but……

The dress wearing lady was Alicia Cristela.

She was the daughter of a Duke House and a State Knight. There were few people with a more trustworthy background than this even in the royal capital.

Thanks to Alicia, Diablo’s group was able to safely pass through the city gates.

The carriage slowly advanced down the main street that was lined with shops.

As expected of the royal capital, there was a lot of people of the Races.

The races were also varied.

Demi-human discrimination was strong in the royal capital──that is what he had heard before, but at the very least, the ones walking around the main street weren’t only Humans. Elves, Dwarves, Pantherians, Grasswalkers, Demons……

As expected, the number of Humans was greater though.
