Perhaps she wanted to pretend that nothing had happened, but her expression was very lonely.

"What's up, Yuki?"

Yuxi's direct gaze made Mio ask without knowing it, her expression had returned to the one Yuxi and Hutao knew about her, so Yuxi echoed: "It's okay".

It doesn't matter if it's just to be brave.

For Mio's part, Yuuki honestly admires it.Yuki and the others were naturally educated by the brave clan and knew their mission since they were born; but Mio's starting point was completely different. She used to live an ordinary life, treating herself as an ordinary girl.

But one day, her parents were suddenly killed—and she knew that she was not a human being, but the daughter of a demon king.However, this girl named Naruse Mio basically does not cry or complain about it; even though she has never been less troubled, painful, and "confused"—she is still moving forward; even now she has come to the magic world Regarding his life experience, this has not changed.

"By the way... came here, did you know what to do?"

"No. I've thought a lot, but I still haven't come to a conclusion." Mio shook her head and said.

Once Mio made up her mind, a series of situations would definitely occur, and there was no room for regret.

Therefore——even after three days in the Demon Realm, she still couldn't make up her mind.This will not only affect Mio, but also Mu Hantian and Youxi around her will be affected, and it will also affect the future of the entire demon world, so it is inevitable to hesitate.and--

Mio hesitated because of that man...

What came to Yuki Nonaka's mind was Ramsas, the current leader of the Moderate faction.Everyone didn't know what he was planning, Klaus would "show" his face and talk to Mio every day, but Ramthus stubbornly refused to meet with Mio in the past three days.

It is impossible to make an appropriate judgment without communicating with both parties.In fact——before going to the Demon World, Mio told Yuuki that she had no intention of becoming the new Demon King.So in reality, the only options left are Iramthas' request, handing over power to the Moderate faction, or returning to the original world just like that.And since Ramthus refused to talk to Mio, the answer should be obvious.

but……

Mio hesitated so much because she was worried that if she refused the moderate party's request, she might fall into a very dangerous situation.It is thanks to Maria that Mio has survived the threat of the current Demon Lord faction—that is, thanks to the moderate faction.Even if Zolgear was finally defeated, the current Demon Lord Faction is still alive, so it is not surprising that they are attacked anytime.

Under such circumstances, if he decides to reject the demands of both Moderates, he will be instantly alone and helpless.Because the Brave Clan regards Mio as a Demon Clan, and the current Demon King faction's unfavorable actions against her as a Demon Clan fighting, they will only watch from the sidelines.

Besides...

Maria would face a dilemma if she turned against the Moderate faction.Although Maria herself said that she would leave the Moderate faction and act with Mio in case of emergency; however, Maria found that Sheila was safe and well, and the expression on her face after knowing that she had really escaped Zolgear's coercion—— Mio could see the tears she shed, so she probably wouldn't have promised her to let go of her relationship with her family.Mio, who had lost her family before meeting Mu Hantian, couldn't get out of the pain, never wanted Maria to suffer the same torture.

"That Ramthas...what the hell is he thinking?"

Going back to the dark passage outside, Kurumi who was walking in front of Yuki and Mio muttered.

"If the old man named Klaus wants to delay time now, it's not difficult to understand..."

"Ah."

Mio nodded to Kurumi's words, Yuki agreed with silence.The Klaus camp, which is trying to make Mio the new Demon Lord, wants Mio to stay in the Demon Realm as long as possible, deepening her feelings for the Moderate faction—Wilbert and Verda and their residents, and then profiting from it; Ramthus, who drew Wilbert's power from his body, should hope for a quick victory.

Is that man...?

From the perspective of others, this unfavorable situation for Ramthas is entirely his own fault.Could it be that he really has ulterior motives or other plans, but no one can see it?

Just when Yuxi felt some indescribable unhappiness, Mio and Kurumi were walking towards the exit on the passage.The ground of the spiritual temple vibrated up and down with a low sound that shook the atmosphere.

"earthquake?"

Facing Mio who was looking around in astonishment, Yuuki shouted decisively: "Run!—Go outside!"

Kurumi and Mio immediately followed Yuki who ran away to the exit.

This spiritual temple is built in a cave-like space carved directly from the rock formation.

Because it is the mausoleum of a great king, in order to prevent unscrupulous people from destroying and other accidents, there is an enchantment inside that prohibits all kinds of magic. Of course, the surroundings of the tombstone are also designed to resist various natural disasters, but the passage is not necessarily safe.If the roof collapsed and the exit was blocked by bricks and stones, they probably would not be able to escape on their own without using magic—thus, Yuxi and the three of them rushed through the passage of the spiritual temple in one breath.

Even though the tremor stopped halfway, it is not known whether there will be aftershocks or more intense tremors, so in order to ensure safety and understand what happened, it is necessary to leave the mausoleum as soon as possible.

"I saw the exit!"

The outdoor light appeared in front of the line of sight following Walnut's cry—then, the three of Youxi escaped from the temple.The first thing to do is to confirm the current situation.

"You two, are you okay!" Mio asked loudly.

The targets were not Yuki and Walnut, but the maid who followed them.Fortunately, the two maids who were waiting for their return were safe, but——

They didn't respond to Mio's concern.Just standing still, looking at the urban area of ​​Verda from the hill.So the next moment, Yuxi and the others, following the line of sight of the maids, also saw the same scene.

"That is……"

The outer wall of Verda City was destroyed, and the enemy invaded the city.

However——if they were just invaded by the enemy, the maids would not be foolish here, at least they should go to the shrine to notify of the emergency and help Mio evacuate.

So—what made them forget such things?The answer lies in the picture on the other side of Yuxi and others' line of sight.Even though the hill was separated from the urban area by a distance of a Velda city, they could still see the invasion of the 'enemy' with their naked eyes.

"What is that?" Hu Tao beside him murmured blankly.

An unbelievable situation was happening before her eyes.Three giants with a height of at least [-] meters attacked Velda.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

There is a person who is calmly watching the great chaos in the surrounding urban areas of Verda City.

Standing on the shoulder of one of the three giant heroic spirits, looking down at the people screaming and running in haste, was Galdo who volunteered to take the lead in attacking Velda City.

very impressive.

Galdo secretly praised Luka who had adjusted the Heroic Spirit to perfection in such a short period of time.That young child took care of everything from the restoration of the Heroic Spirit to setting up Galdo as the new owner, and even prepared it to the point where it could be put into actual combat.Even if other more powerful heroic spirits were dug out from the ruins, the stronger the power, the more difficult it would be to control, and there was no time to reset the contract for this battle, but this was enough.

"Damn monster!"

A group of people who looked like urban guards attacked the heroic spirits in order to gain time for the people to evacuate.Many magic circles opened up on the ground—“shooting” countless light shoots at Galdo and the Heroic Spirits, but——
