Then shortly afterwards, the demon kings who were in Startree Castle are brought to the Great Hall by the Servis.

The demon kings enter the great hall. No, they nodded when they realized the air inside was subtly heavy.

"What's going on?"

Said Salman, who first stepped into the great hall and lowered back more and more to the stairs under the throne.

Salman saw the two "tows" together, but he didn't see any significant reaction from the Servis and the others beforehand.

"In a way, the biggest problem we've had since we got here."

"Big problem?

Salman takes Lilium's word for it and shakes his neck again.

Then I deliberately broke my finger to count the problems that had arisen so far, but ended up blocking all my fingers in both hands, so I stopped doing that trick with a sigh.

"A lot of the problems we have are more than just my fingers."

"Even if you flip all that stuff, it's the biggest one this time."

"Wow. Let's hear it, like I don't want to hear it"

You can't just not ask, but add, at last, Salman saw Lilium with a serious look.

At that time, all the other demon kings enter the great hall, and each begins to sit in the proper place.

Except for a small part of the facades of "knowledge" and "purse" that are on expedition outside the country, most of them were gathered in the Great Hall.

"So, what happened"

Salman asked Lilium, making sure the Demon King was all set.

"... something strange happened to Melea. Maybe there's a change that we don't even anticipate."

Lilium says in a heavy voice.

I looked up at Merea, who was sitting with a look Salman couldn't resist on the throne.

"The change that Merea herself doesn't anticipate..."

Says Salman as he cuts his gaze from Merea.

"The English spirits didn't expect a change."

"I guess."

English Spirit, Melea frowns at the word.

He seemed a little surprised by Salman and Lilium, who used the word before him.

"What are you looking at? Look, your parents, the English spirits, they seemed pretty tough at practice, but that's why they're not the ones who leave the crisis about their son alone. It's overprotective. It gets tough when it's necessary, but the underlying thing is a lot of love for you. Everybody would listen to you."

Continues with Salman shrugging his shoulders "Oh man".

"Especially if it's" The Spiritual God. "I'm just listening to you, and God of Surgery is overprotective enough to tell me that's normal. So there's no way those English spirits dared to leave Lilium alone in silence with a crisis that they thought was' this sucks'"

To Salman's words, Lilium nodded.

"The English spirits would have lost their heads more than we did. I think your physical abnormality, which could happen in the future, could have been predicted to some extent. So if this change doesn't have a verse that Merea herself thinks of, it means it's a strange thing that even the English spirits didn't expect. - I mean, that's the worst kind of weird thing."

Around there, Salman held his forehead with one hand as he finally began to realize the weight of the matter.

"Uh, shit, I see. You mean you can't even be too awesome? You don't suffer from any disease, and most wounds heal quickly. That's why I didn't worry much about that kind of deterioration. But the other way around. You 'evolve' in your current form. Sometimes something goes wrong in the course of evolution. I totally lost it."

Then another demon king raised his voice around it.

"Reason is good. Let Melea know what happened first."

It's Elma.

Elma had listened properly to the conversation between Salman and Lilium, but gradually grasped the weight of the matter from Salman's words to make her expression look uncomfortable.

"... the golden tears flowed through Merea's eyes."

"Golden tears?

"Yes. And..."

Lilium tried to say, and now Merea added her own explanation.

"Everything in sight, I saw the Ceremony."

"Art, Ceremony"

Everything in sight.

Elma can barely use the surgical ceremony. Knowledge of the procedure is therefore thinner than that of the magicians, the Demon Kings.

Still, it was understandable how faint the state was.

The next Merea word was the deciding factor.

"Even to humans."

――

Human beings have ceremonies.

First of all, Elma was shocked by the fact.

All the events of the world are expressed in a formula. That is the cuisine of a world in which the magicians of this world are beaten as a premise first, but I just didn't expect it to be a word roughly to the existence of man.

"It was a shock to me too, so I only saw it for a moment, but there was a ceremony for humans indeed. It's just not something I can decipher right away. Compared to the Great Art Ceremony of the English Spirits, that was too complicated."

"Besides, it also seemed constantly fluctuating," Melea added, laughing powerlessly.

"Originally, the art of leading a creature is quite complicated. So is my" flame of life, "but a variable expression becomes enormous when I try to describe something like that in an expression, like will, or a fluid body. If it were human, it would have complexity that wouldn't compare to life flames."

Lilium supplemented.

"But maybe Merea could have cracked some parts of it. Because Merea has been forced by the English spirits to read enormous amounts of manners."

Two, Lillium looked up at Merea sitting on the throne.

"So you turned away. I feel like I'm going to look inside you that you shouldn't."

……

Merea meditated her eyes on that word of Lilium. - That was the answer.

"That's something you shouldn't see. It was something that made me feel so bad watching."

"Not now, but I've seen similar sorcerers. I have a story to tell you that I've seen it, but I know a magician who tried to do that. - In the book."

It was a dream story again.

"For a long time there was a certain number of magicians who pursued the truth of the world or the existence of God. All of the events of the world can be expressed in ceremonies, what words are so much left over from ancient times that naturally there are magicians who look at such things. The magician is basically greedy for knowledge. However, there are many times when it was forbidden to think and seek something like that. Especially in a time when we strongly asked God to take our place"

Dark War Age, for example.

At a time when the world was rough, humans wanted to seek a place in their minds for something absolute anyway.

If I didn't, my heart would have broken.

"On the other hand, in peaceful times between them, there were magicians who put all their efforts into that sort of 'stupid thing'. I just..."

Show how Lilium opens the old library in your head. I meditated my eyes and brought my head to think deeply.

"Could it have been Palladion's Madness Book? It was like a magician's prophecy, especially when he was considered a stranger. It was a rather suspicious book with a linguistic level, but I think there was a statement in it that he wanted a human ceremony."

"What did that say?

Melea asked Lilium curiously.

But Lilium shook her head at the question.

"I don't remember much either. As I said earlier, the language is suspicious in the first place. It's supposed to be written in standard language, but words and grammar are messed up anyway. That's why they call me a crazy book."

"Hasn't anyone been able to decipher it?

"Some things have been deciphered, thanks to their fondness. But the content in the first place is like an idiot, so it's not very popular with people who like it. Little progress has actually been made in deciphering what is written. I don't care about the part that's being deciphered, the diary, that's all."

"Oh."

Merea exhaled a little sorry.

"But of all the sorcerers who sought the human ceremony, the palladion may seem to be the best. Other magicians pretend to be insane. Because they're prominent wankers, and they just want to pretend like they want the world's truth. Everything it said was plain and simple."

"Lilium read those books, too?

"For once, for once.... because I had free manipulation lectures or something"

Lilium answers Merea, who asks prank-like questions, with a little pointy mouth.

"Hmm, what is this? That kind of book was in Aios?

"That sort of thing. - So, here's the real deal"

Lilium raised her index finger.

"I'm kind of out of line, but you already know what I'm trying to say, don't you?

"Well, somehow."

While I was telling you, Melea knew.

Why did Lilium come here to bring up a substitute called The Mad Book of Palladions?

Why did you smell it on the edge of the word that it was in Ioath?

Not at all. Lilium is smart.
