Pastoral, but should I describe it as?
The territory ruled by Ruirala was idyllic countryside.
Getting Niemia on board to fly for half a day. We were moving from the village of Mistral to the western edge of Dragon Peak.
However, when suddenly a giant dragon appeared on Luirala's territory, the inhabitants went into havoc, which meant that the landing point was off the territory.
The view overlooks a field where the snow that has fallen in winter has finally melted and soil has begun to rise. Pompous and dotted houses are all wooden qualitative constructions, with chickens left alone in the garden or children running around with dogs.
You can see a herd of sheep in the far grass.
"I don't know, it's surprising. It looks so peaceful."
"Ernea, it's not what you see, it's what's true. My territory is peace itself. That, you idiots..."
Luilara's "idiots" are the dragon tribes who raided the territory two years ago.
Even though he was cursed by the Devil's Sword, the Dragon Nation vandalized the territory and slaughtered the villagers. And a furious Luirala attacked Dragon Peak in retaliation.
"Mmm. Oz is shaking."
"Priscia, leave him alone now"
Faces descending from Niemia's back.
In the end, I came with my usual face. Mistral, Luiseine, Lyla, Ufiria and Nina.
There's Priscia, and Ares is, of course, accompanying her. I don't see Yun Yun and Lin Lin, but the signs are on the side properly.
And besides Master Madrine and Mr. Sefina.
And, Oz.
I brought Oz here to ask the demon king of the giant about the Nine Tails Temple.
However, Oz, down on the ground, hid two thick tails between his crotches, shuddering with reluctance.
I can't help it.
Yes, that happened before we left.
"What, you say that this nonsense is being transported to and from such a child! Yeah, disrespectfully. No matter how many wounded you are, you're not weak enough to be transported to a dragon like a kitten!
I talked to Oz, and Niemia took me, and he was furious.
Oz pointing her front leg at the cute Niemia doing the hair repair, stripping her fangs off and barking.
"No, no, Neemia..."
"Shut up, kid! Noble Non can take care of his little girl. As long as I can take care of this person, I will try to tread Dragon Peak on my own, albeit with wounds!
"Oz, I was just saying I was wounded myself. Because you know I was messing around with the pricias, right? Besides, Niemia is different."
"What's the difference? Yeah, let's do it. If Noh tells this kid he'll be late, show him the proof!
"... Nice to meet you, Dr. Niemia"
"Nyah."
I must tell the truth to Oz, who looks down on Niemia. [M]
I decided to ghost my heart out and show Niemia some "proof".
Neemia ends her hair repair and rings cute. Then, in front of me and Oz watching, I started to change that body all the time.
From a small, cute body like a kitten to the size of an adult cat. Plus, if you look at it, it's bigger than Oz, beyond Fiorina and Ream, who keep a close eye on it.
At this point, Oz was stunned with his mouth wide open.
But it still won't stop.
Niemia finally stopped when she got the size to look up and the giant body overlooking the roof of the house.
"Come on, guys. Let's get you packed and put you on Niemia."
"I get it!
Following my instructions, Priscia and the others move to Niemia's back.
When it came to Oz, he was looking up at the giant Niemia and solidifying.
"Wow, I want to go"
"Reammo."
"Fio and Reem are leaving a message. I'm worried about Levaria."
To the land of the demons, no dragons can be taken.
Because it's dangerous.
When I also moved to Niemia's back by a spatial leap, I still looked up over my head and solidified, and looked down at Oz, who was peeling off his white eyes.
"It's Niemia. Oz, please."
"I was asked to."
Say it, Niemia, grab Oz with her huge front leg. And as it was, it rose to the sky.
Oh, unfortunate Oz.
No way, you didn't know that the little little dragon you were playing with until yesterday was actually the biggest and strongest.
But Oz isn't aware of it yet. You said to Fiorina and Reem, "I want to see the guardian's face."
When all the luggage on his back is gone, he gets smaller, moves over Priscia's head, and Niemia yawns.
Oz looks up at the cute Niemia with her pulled face, shuddering as she shudders.
Well, you'll stay heartbroken for a while, and let's keep you calm.
More than that, I look around again.
"I thought the atmosphere was a lot different than in a thriving neighborhood like around the Devil's Capital, right?
The kingdom of the demons is far more prosperous than the kingdoms of Armuad and Jortenitos, ruled by the people. That's so much so that replacing the scale of prosperity seen in the King's Capital of the People with the Land of the Demons becomes to the extent of a medium-sized local city.
Each bustling city was tied together on a well-kept road, overlooking the landscape that the uncountable were travelling to and from, two years ago, from Lily's back.
Luirala laughs bitterly at our honest feelings about the idyllic landscape.
"Well, yeah. This neighborhood is both a border and a border. It's a despicable land with dragon peaks at the end of your eyes and nose, right? I'm not gonna make it to a place like this."
"I just have a few questions. Why does Luilara have territory on such a border?
That's a weird story in the first place, isn't it?
Luilala's parents are the demons of the original clan who rule the northern sea. The title is Duke. I wonder why that son is under the command of a giant demon king with a kingdom inland?
Luilara herself is an aquatic demon, and she looks like a mermaid, doesn't she?... very huge though.
In its Luirala territory, there are no large rivers or lakes, as far as we can see. I wonder why you have a territory on land that has nothing to do with your attributes.
When Luilara heard my question, she looked over her territory again.
To the east, Dragon Peak finally begins to arrive in late spring. Others are almost rural landscapes.
Poverty, not that, but you can see a qualitative life that is not focused on the unique money and wealth of the countryside.
"I spent a lot of time at sea when I was born, too. It was His Majesty who picked it up. I wish I could serve His Majesty. The territory is good everywhere."
"So, this is the land we're in?
"It was only in recent years that the inhabitants and demons of Dragon Peak became so close. There used to be a lot of trouble, and no one would go ahead and worship the land around here."
The demon king of the giant has tried not to cause problems with the dragon tribes as much as possible. Nevertheless, intercommunal firmness cannot be wiped by the ruler's orders alone. Now it's time for a little more interaction, but it didn't seem like it used to be the land that nobles would want.
"You might be disrespectful when I say something. That's what His Majesty says."
"When you say that?
He said, "I'm going to take in my real ancestors, my Viscount."
When I was tilting my neck because I wasn't sure what Louis Lara was saying, he supplemented me.
"See, the Duke Demons are not the Demon Kings, but the superiors are the worshippers."
"You suppress the true rulers of the demonic tribe by duking their original ancestors and giving them territory and privilege, so they don't break out, right?
"Yes. But you know what, Mr. Elnea? In other words, the Demon Clan of True Ancestors could break free as long as it had some trigger. Moreover, the demons of the true ancestors pledge allegiance to the rulers, not to the demon kings. Do you normally think you want to follow such a demon clan and add it to your subordination?
"Um, if I were you... Absolutely not!
I conceived it while staring at Luilara and came to a clear conclusion!
You never need a subordinate to be slashed when you're alarmed.
But the giant demon king is apparently not like me.
"Does that mean that the demon kings of the giants have or do something about the demons of their ancestors?
"Ernea, what are you talking about? There's someone you know very well."
"Yeah, who would that be!?
I'll think about it.
I meet with the giant Demon King a lot, but I don't actually have a lot of facial knowledge with the demon tribe under my command.
Speaking of faces I've often seen, they're the black-winged demons I took care of with the protection of four-armed bent demon generals and Necromancer cities, right? And then...
"It's the Chancellor."
"Hey, what!! The Chancellor is Charlotte, isn't he? Was that man an ancestor?!
Nearest side of the Titan's Demon King.
Blonde laterally curled, everyone was surprised, not just me, to find out that fine Charlotte was the original clan.
"Does that mean that it can be disastrous and strong...?
Initial clans are born with a lot of knowledge, and advanced demons have bright blue magic, right?
Speaking of which, it's like I've seen him swinging a whip and fighting...
"The strength of true ancestors...... Well, I think there's an individual difference. The Chancellor is terribly strong, isn't he?
"How long?
"To the extent that I tell you too, I was a marshal in the old war."
"What's a marshal?
"Simply put, he's the Commander-in-Chief of the Demon Army sent by multiple Demon Kings. It means he's in a position to lead the demon generals of every country."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!
"A long time ago, there was a time when the southern god tribe had invaded. It was. The demon kings at the time cooperated in sending troops to intercept them. The general was the prime minister at the time."
I shouldn't have asked!
I can't believe Charlotte was such an amazing demon!
"I mean, why is it that someone like the Marshal of the Demonic Coalition is now the Chancellor, not the military?
"Well, it's because the Chancellor is capable. Let's get back to it. His Majesty has all sorts of demons under his command. Some of them were pulled out as demon generals or government officials or became demon kings in other countries, right?
"The demon king draining the demon king..."
"That's how brilliant officials are being pulled out or retired at old age. Sometimes I run out of people. The former prime minister retired a while ago at an old age. That's when the prime minister who can do anything is pulled out."
"... Luilara, do you have a minute! What about being dragged out of the throne all the time as a demon king?
"Your Majesty doesn't seem to care, does he? Thousands of customers, do not chase those who leave. Instead, if the former subordinates raised by hand salt become dignitaries in each country, you'll hear their faces when something happens."
"I see you have that interpretation. If a minister in an important position is a former subordinate of the Titan's Demon King, can no other Demon King turn against the Titan's Demon King? When something happens, a former subordinate of the giant Demon King may fly the anti-flag."
"Even in the case of the Demon King of the North, they were circulating information to us."
Hmm, it's an in-depth story.
When I look at the surface alone, I wonder if the kingdom of the giant demon king, which is roughly pulled out, has a problem with the treatment aspect or something. But if you had a strong subordination, you could take it that you could send a pawn into the other country. Besides, the person who sent him in is an excellent person, so he should be in a position deeply involved in the heart of the country.
"And well, that's why. So am I, but I'm surprised that I might leave this country in the future, and that the Demons don't care about the land they worship."
"Hmm, it's funny to learn about the demonic community."
"Now that you know, aren't you willing to try to run it?
"No!
Long stands, so we're led by Luirala.
Apparently, there are not as many inhabitants, even if the territory of Luirala is large.
Along the way, residents of occasionally different territories on the side of the road bowed their heads deeply when they saw Louis Lara and saw this one pass by.
"Looking at these landscapes, I knew Luirala was a lord too..."
"I'm not focused on territory, but I'll take control. If there is a revolt, they will question your loyalty to Your Majesty."
A country ruled by a giant demon king, albeit in the countryside of the border. He's in a swallowing conversation with me, but Luirala is also a demon tribe on one end, the same demon people are treated preferentially, and the slaves of the people are normal.
It's an idyllic landscape, but I was reminded once again that this is a demonic country.
"This is my mansion. Come on, everybody think it's your own house too. Be generous."
The mansion where Louirala lived was on the eastern edge of the territory. So I enjoyed the view from the landing point and walked to my destination in no time.
I thought there was a big city or village somewhere in the country, and I had a mansion in one of those paintings. My expectations were off, and I was surprised that the mansion was built in a sprawling field, just like the landscape I had seen before.
For once, the houses of the servants who would be surrounded by windproof forests or working in your mansion are nearby. I didn't know you were so rural.
This is enough to say that the Dragon villages are busier.
"Welcome back, lord"
The old man who came out of the front door at the sign of his husband back home was also a very normal grandfather, not looking like a butler or a guard. He was a favorite with a white beard.
Wow, three dogs pop out the front door where the old man comes out, rubbing against Luirala.
Luilala informed the old man of his return, while embellishing the dog.
"So, what about these people?
The old man who received the package from Luirala turns his suspicious gaze to us.
"Oh, they...... He's the dragon king there. And the ladies around him are his family."
"Oh, was that so? Lords talk a lot. This is rude."
"Mr. Ernea, he's Zobos. It's our family order. I hope you'll forgive me for my disrespect."
"We don't even think this is disrespectful. I'm sorry to bother you."
Apparently, Mr. Zobos of the Demon Nation was wary of the appearance of people and dragon people. But when he revealed his identity, he politely greeted me and everyone I knew about Louis Lara.
"Come on, let's go in. I'll treat you today."
We were led into the mansion by Luilala and Mr. Zobos.
