To our surprise, Kusharira shows interesting signs.
Do you know them?
"I mean, you know..." Even before I got here, the Emperor Venerable Mansion was in shadow. But it's a mess, isn't it? "
The country ruled by Kushalila is on the southwestern edge of the area controlled by the demons. From here, the Heavenly Mountains are connected to the west, and the control of the demons does not extend. To the south, a buffer zone of demons and gods spread from the bottom of the complex Celestial Mountains to the mountains, and there are a few areas dominated by people and gods.
But that's where the question arises.
The land of the gods beyond the buffer zone is not the Belisarius Empire, is it?
According to what I heard during the Demon King Crusade, there was a kingdom of Kalmar that resisted the invasion of the Belisarius Empire.
Carmel's new nation is the godly nation that was once guarded by one-winged Heavenly Clan Mira Jewel.
However, Mr. Jewel was defeated by his companions' betrayal.
Still, there is no doubt that the lost kingdom of Kalmar was destroyed by the Belisarians.
What bothers me is that the Imperial Palace is not the Divine King of Karmaar, but a folk ideology that honors the Emperor of the Belisarius Empire as supreme.
And yet, the Emperor Venerable Mansion is hiding in a place far away from the Empire?
Not only me, but the whole family looked at each other.
Kusharira shakes her head at my tedious explanation.
Did you guys stick your necks in the commotion again?
"Ah! Our misunderstanding has spread to the Fairy Demon Lord." We don't like to be involved in disturbances, do we? "
Anyway, it's about us!
I wonder why the Emperor Venerable Mansion is operating in the southern part of Kusharira's country.
And tilting his neck to me, Barbia adds a supplement.
"I'm telling you, they're not operating from the inside of this country."
Huh? Really?
"Of course. If the Divine Clan enters His Majesty's sphere of control, we will not be relentless." I'm bouncing off that bruise before I even get active. "
"Sure, that's right." Now then, what about the Emperor Mansion...? "
It's in the buffer zone between the demonic and divine lands.
I had already assumed that the Emperor Venerable Mansion had entered the demon nation.
But if that's the case, the demon tribe won't shut up. As Barbia says, if the Divine Clan enters the country, it will be eliminated without any questions, and it will not even be a problem.
Speaking of which, I can imagine.
I wonder if Wendy and Jewel have been able to continue their journey safely?
Luilala was a demon, and because she was close to the giant demon king, she could move quickly and easily to this place. However, even if Wender and Jewel were in possession of a pass issued by a demonic ruler, they would not be able to move around as easily as Louilala, because they are the gods and gods that are the natural enemies of the demons. That's why you're still struggling to travel somewhere in the demon country.
My concubine also understands the meaning of the buffer zone.
Although the demons and gods are natural enemies, they have not tried to destroy each other for ten thousand years.
Of course, if there's a fight, we'll risk each other's survival in a war, but we want to be as non-interferential as possible in normal times.
That's why the buffer zone in the south is an important area for both demons and gods, and Kusharira seems to understand the area.
However, the Divine Clans are showing disturbing movements.
"The Emperor Venerable Mansion started somehow leaping in the buffer zone, right?" So it's our turn. "
Instead of Kushalila, Barbia tells the details.
"Just because the Divine Clans started to stand out in the buffer zone, if the Demons even started to intervene, things would get bigger." But if it's you, there's no problem, right? "
"In other words, we should enter the buffer zone, investigate the activities of the Emperor Venerable Mansion, and in some cases obstruct it."
"There's no need to look into the activities." Kill all the gods. "
"No, no, you can't do that!?" Because we love peace, don't we? That said, I still care about the activities of the Imperial Venerable Mansion, so I will cooperate with you. "
Emperor Venerable Mansion that reveals the prestige of the Belisarius Empire. Why did the Emperor Mansion jump over the Karmaar Divine Kingdom and appear in the buffer zone at the foot of the Heavenly Mountains?
Could it be that they are still involved in future invasions?
However, the Imperial Venerable Mansion is only an organization of private thought, not an official organization of the imperial court. So, the civilians have run wild, and they've reached out to this place?
Perhaps the idea of the Imperial Venerable Mansion is beginning to spread within the Karmaar Divine Kingdom!?
Anyway, if you don't investigate, you won't know anything.
When you expel the Divine Clan from the buffer zone, Lord Luirala and the Gladiators of the Humans will be liberated.
Because the Fairy Demon Lord relied so much on the agreement, we have no reason to refuse.
Hate, Dragon King
"Why!? Let's help you?"
Let's get this over with and get out of here.
"In other words, you're convinced we can fix this, right?" I'm glad the Fairy Demon King trusts me. "
I was joking, and the jade light began to fill with murderous intent.
Haha. Ernesto, it's dangerous.
"Oh no, I've done too much."
Barbia was relentlessly looking at me with murderous gaze as she passed through her grumpy mood.
"Please don't joke about this. Then we'll eliminate it after investigating the Imperial Palace in the buffer zone. Then you will return Louilala as promised, and you will allow Tris and Sherry to pass through the country.”
To secure the freedom of Louilala and Tris. To stop the Imperial Venerable Mansion from leaking. And to build a friendly relationship with Kusharilla, we took on the task.
"Alright, let's go then!" I thought so. It's already nighttime, so let's spend the night in the Demon City. I'd like you to introduce me to a good inn? "
Staying at the Demon King's Castle? No, I won't.
I don't want to be mentally exhausted before I leave. So let's take the inn somewhere in the Demon Capital and give it a good night's rest.
That's what I thought.....
"Hello, Ernéa. Welcome back."
"I'm home, Louilala."
The place we were escorted to was the mansion where Louilala and Tris-kun were placed under house arrest.
"Oh, you're not going to put us under house arrest, are you?!" No, I can't accept your request, can I? In other words, it would be easier to watch them all while staying in the Demon City. "
Huh. Ernea, did you get any requests from the Fairy Demon King?
"I've been given the conditions to let Louilala and the others go." So if you stay overnight, you can start tomorrow. ”
Sherri of the Black Cat Demon tribe stretched out inexplicably beside Tris-san to thank him for his apologies.
So, what kind of request did you get?
Before I tell you the details of my request, I need to tell you about the Emperor Mansion and how we were involved before. So I opened my mouth and looked around for caution.
The Mansion is not staffed with kneaded guardians. But on the other hand, there are informants among the slaves and servants.
So, if you talk about anything cheerfully, a lot of things will leak to Kusharira.
Servants who prepare dinner and slaves who carry our luggage to the room. Other people from various positions worked in the mansion.
I'm still here to talk about something that people can ask me.
Otherwise, Kusharira will know Amira-san's secrets and contact with Glossy Martial God Taeu.
The fact that we travelled a little within the Belisarius Empire. Not only did I learn of the existence of the Imperial Venerable Mansion, but I also told him that I was in trouble for dinner.
Tris was listening to our adventures with his eyes shining brightly.
Louilala also envied that "Ernesto is always on a fun adventure."
Well, it was hard to see the world collapse or the heavenly paradise disappear.
"Emperor Venerable Mansion." I've been scouting the land of the gods many times, but they were certainly troublesome. However, in my memory, they weren't the kind of people who dodged the organization. "
"That's right, isn't it? That's why I'm so curious. Why is the Imperial Venerable Mansion beginning to be witnessed in the buffer zone in the south?"
"If Sherry and I had entered the buffer zone without knowing anything, we might have been in trouble." Thinking about it, was it correct that you were under house arrest here? "
“You fools, all you have to do is turn those people from one side to the next right from the moment you see them.”
"Master Sherrior, you can't do that!!"
The more people you get, the more lively you get.
Even after dinner, we kept laughing in the living room. [M]
Laughing at Sherry's encounter with Tris, and dumbfounded by the sabotage Luirala has done in the Divine Nation in the past.
Late in the evening, the servants began to rest.
Well, is it about time?
Louilala?
When the number of servants who replenished the drinks and prepared the tea was limited. Luilala carefully read the signs around her and changed the subject.
Ernesto, you'll be free to move tomorrow, won't you?
"I don't think there's any surveillance. After all, Nemea and Levaria are the only people who can get around.”
Well, that's convenient.
That said, Louilala took out a letter from her pocket.
What's that?
In the letter, there was a sealed wax showing the giant demon king.
"As a matter of fact, your Majesty has given me one difficult question." But if it's Ernesto, you'll be fine. "
Luilala smiles and pushes the letter to me, telling me who it belongs to.
"If I was going on a trip, I would have been ordered to send a letter to the magician in the east." But I'm a demon too, right? That's why I was worried about how to make contact. "
Even though you're watching your surroundings, I don't know where you're listening. It seems that Luilala is only going to insist on traveling.
A giant demon king wrote to Momo-chan?
What do you think? Even if we show interest, we can't check the contents because of the seal.
Even so, this letter from the giant demon king wasn't often confiscated by Kusharira.
"There, there. I was treated as a guest for the time being, and I carried it with me." I can't take it away from you by force. "
"I see. So, on behalf of Louilala, who can only go out with surveillance, we can send a letter to Momo-chan, right?" It's cheap.
Momo-chan lives in the Heavenly Mountains to fulfill her responsibilities as a magician in the east.
But it's a secret where you live.
I wanted to be careful not to be attacked by demons. As a result, it was highly likely that Louilala would be attacked by Momo-chan's remote magic, but it was extremely unlikely that she would be able to meet him.
So he wants us to deliver the letter.
It will be a shortcut, but if we have the ability to fly Nemir and Levaria, we should have no problem.
Moreover, Nemir and Levaria would definitely notice if the demons tried to track them down or ambush them.
Well then, tomorrow we'll fly to the Heavenly Mountains and then head south to the buffer zone.
Ernesto, thank you very much!
In place of Sherrior, who fell asleep quickly, Tris-kun lowered his head deeply.
I wonder what order Tris and Sherrior are taking from the Demon Ruler to head south?
It was midnight when I noticed that the topic was not exhausted.
We got into a fine, fluffy bed in preparation for our next journey. [M]
