The Demon King Of The Frontier Life, Reincarnated To Become The Strongest Mage ~The Former Demon Kin

─ ─ Yuki's perspective ─ ─

Then we headed to the campsite on the fourth basement level of "Elysion."

"I've been waiting. Yuki-Grossalia"

In the camp, Dr. Demetrius was waiting for us.

Information on the "Mentalists" had already been passed on to Prince Cain.Because of that, the campsite is rough.

"Cain" who seems to have a narrow shoulder, and "Zamelist" who looks at them with a strange face.Both appeared to be in unexpected circumstances.

It's not impossible.

It's too unexpected that someone is trespassing on "Elysion" under the guidance of quasi-B mage Ezetta.

We were half-hearted until we actually found them.

Rather, I thought it would be better if it was a mistake.

"The ones you rescued were the ones who had entered 'Elysion' illegally.There are some supporters on their way to detain them now.That's why we're going to be late exploring the fifth level. "

"... was that so?"

"We are going to investigate their purpose.And Colette-Mément. "

Miss Demetrius called Colette behind me.

"Collet-Memen ─ ─ I want to hear from you too.Will you accompany me? "

"Wait, Demetrius Sensei. Why Colette?"

I told you.

Of course, I know why Colette asked me about it.

But we don't know about the plan for the Marquis of Menmen. Here's the answer.

"I'm Colette's master.If you need anything, I'll explain. "

"I'm sorry, but I have to ask Collet-Memen about it."

Demetrius said.

"Her family, the Marquis of Menmen, is under suspicion."

"... doesn't that have anything to do with Colette now?Those who become apprentices of other magicians should temporarily withdraw from their parents' home, right?It was Dr. DeMetel who taught me that. "

"Yes, of course I remember."

"Well, whatever the Marquises do, it's got nothing to do with Colette."

"... of course, I know she's innocent."

Dr. Demetrius sighed.

"I just want to talk to you.And... I want you to meet her sister. "

"Ezetta Menmen, quasi-B mage?"

"She admits that she guided the trespasser.But he won't tell me why.That's why I want Colette Menmen to talk to her. "

"Is there anything Colette could be punished for?"

"Of course, I promise."

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Demetrius.

It was the tall young man who stood.She has blonde hair and soft eyes.

What we have here is a robe that shows that you are a Class B Magician.

"... Your Highness Cain"

"Cain Liestia promises the Iris Guard Knight Yuki-Grossalia.The Magic Guild will not punish your apprentice, Colette Menmen. "

"The reason is Colette's already out of the house.And because Colette is helping us find the trespasser... "

"That's Iris's Guard Knight.Do the right analysis. "

Prince Cain nodded.

There is a Demetrius teacher here.

"Cain" and "Zamelist" are looking at us from a distance.

On the side of the "Zamerist" is the "Lord of the Spirit (Phantom)", and Odette nods at his feet.

She knows the circumstances.They'll be on our side.

Suffice it to witness the statements of Prince Cain and Dr. Demetrius.

But I'm still worried about Colette.

I've become an apprentice.I'm Colette's guardian.

I don't want you to go out of my reach...

"... thank you for your concern, Master."

Suddenly Colette looked at me and said.

"I'll talk to my sister."

"Are you okay?"

"Thanks to my mentor, I started thinking about many things.I've done a lot of talking to my sister. "

That's what Colette laughed at.

"In the meantime, I would like to tell my sister that immortality was very delicious."

Is that it?

"Yes, it's not about the house, it's just... the food was delicious.That's what made me so happy... that I want to have dinner with my sister... that's what I want to talk about. "

"Okay."

I nodded and saw Prince Cain.

"Lord Cain, may I escort Colette?"

"I don't mind. It's the master's right."

"Okay, then, Giselle. And Dick, get Colette."

"I understand, Yuki."

"Kiki."

Giselle and Dick the Bat on his shoulder answered.

"Giselle has been dispatched from the Grail Chamber of Commerce as an exclusive part of the C-Class Magician Yuki-Grossalia.I also know what's going on with Colette over the last few days.She will testify that Colette is not involved with her sister, Ethetta. "

"The Grail Chamber of Commerce? The Chamber of Commerce with branches all over the Kingdom?"

"Yes, Mr Odette Sleigh introduced us to the world."

"Okay, let's treat her nicely."

"If it's true, I'd like to talk to you about Colette."

"That's no good. You need Odette Slay's support to get into the fifth floor."

"I know. I will definitely support Odette."

"I will not doubt your loyalty as Iris's guardian knight."

Prince Cain nodded with a serious look.

"I will answer to your loyalty, too.I promise to treat Colette Menmen and Miss Giselle, the escort, with respect.Is that okay? "

"I understand."

I bowed to Prince Cain.

And then I looked at Dr. DeMetel.

"Miss Demetrius, thank you for your apprenticeship."

"I know. In the name of Demetel-Springal, I will guarantee her safety."

Colette and Dr. DeMetel then headed to the upper campsite.

Dr. Demetrius can be trusted.

There is also a rule in the "Magic Guild" that if you become someone's apprentice, your relationship with the house will be broken.I also took Prince Cain's word for it.

"... if something happens to Colette now, you can be angry."

I whispered so that no one could hear me.

Odette was laughing bitterly as if he had heard a voice.

"Don't worry. I also testified about Colette."

Break time before the exploration of the fifth floor begins.

I was talking to Odette, surrounded by fire at the campsite.

"Since Colette became Yuki's apprentice, she has not been in contact with a member of the Menmen family.Old Zamel and Flora were there.You can't ignore it, right? "

"Odette thought about it."

"It's called the nobleman's death."

Odette nodded as if he were good at it.

"The daughter of the Duke of Sly testified Colette's innocence in front of old Zammel.Neither Cain nor the "Cainese" can treat Colette with impunity. "

Thank you, Odette.

"Thank you is not required. I have a say because I can handle the Lord of the Spirit."

─ ─ Isn't it you who made it possible to handle the "Spirit King Ride"?

Odette said that just by moving his lips.

"I wonder what's going to happen to Ezetta and the others."

"A guide to trespassing on the Elysion.The unauthorized use of concealed passages is a felony.Besides, if you were trying to obstruct exploration... I'm sorry. "

"... I see."

"If Yuki's predictions are correct, the Marquis of Menmen will be behind it.He'll take the blame.Either way... we have to change our minds. "

"... the search for the fifth floor won't be stopped."

Preparations have already begun for the exploration of the fifth layer.

Members of the "Magic Alliance" are divided into groups that explore Tier 5 and support it, each of which begins to place the necessary items.

Odette can talk because the "Spirit King Ride" comes later.

I'm a fool to eat magic.The "Spirit King Ride" is.

Last but not least, we're headed to level five.

"Yuki's role is to support me.Don't push yourself. "

"I know, and I don't want to stand out."

"... I'll tell you what I found on the fifth floor."

Odette snapped in my ear.

She also knows about the text left by Lyle Carmine, the Wise Traitor on the fourth floor.

It said, "The fifth floor is dangerous.I'm not going anywhere else. "

'Danger' means the barrier in the aisle.

You thought I was curious enough to break through the barrier and get to the fifth floor. Lyle.

... he's too distracted. Damn it.

Prepare the Black King Cavalry for me and leave a note like that.

I'm worried about whether he's actually lived his life.

Lyle's probably in the fifth basement.

Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to leave such a note.

What did he see?

What is the source of power of the "Sanctuary Church" that survives after 200 years?

And the secret of the First Priest of Immortality... there may be a hint on the fifth floor.

Of course, I don't want to force myself to go to the fifth floor.

But... well, I'll go if I can.

I'd like to see what he saw instead of Lyle's father.

"You look like you're up to something, Yuki."

"I don't know how to read people's faces, Odette."

"I have been asked by His Highness Iris.If you're being reckless, stop it. "

"I'm going to stop Odette if he can't, even if nobody asks me to."

Well, I'm glad to hear it.

Odette shrugged his shoulders.

"And I have chosen to be your friend, knowing all your circumstances.I'll accept your thoughts, your worries, and your friendship. "

"I appreciate it. It's good to meet Odette in this era."

"That's my line."

That's how Odette and I slightly put our palms together.

After a while ─ ─

"I'll tell everyone who's here."

"Now let's begin a barrier breach plan for the fifth tier of Elysion!"

─ ─ Prince Cain and old Zamel announced the start of the operation.

The "Replica Road" of each of the "Zamelist" and "Cain" moves.

Let's start with the removal of the garbage that fell in the aisle.

Once that is done, the removal of the barrier will begin.

Odette and I, our supporters, will be here from now on.

"I report! Zamerist Flora-Zamel's Replica Road touches the barrier!At the same time, I tried to deploy the "Magic Barrier"... but it failed!"Replica Road" was skipped and stopped working.Flora-Zamel has depleted her magic and is currently undergoing healing. "

"The 'Replica Road' of the 'Cain School' is now heading towards the barrier.Odette Sleigh of the Lord of the Spirits (= Phantom) and Yuki Grossalia, the supporter, should begin their journey! "

Exploration was progressing steadily.

Odette and I are at the entrance to the fifth basement level.

The galaxy has already been removed and the bumpy staircase is showing up.

Down there, you can see the Replica Road sitting.It is the one Flora used.She sits next to herself and mouthes the bottle that old Zamel offers.I think it's tight because I've exhausted my health and magic.

In order to break through the barrier in the fifth basement level, it is necessary to deploy the "versus magic barrier" while wearing the "King Rider (Road)" or "Replica Road".

Neutralize the "Magic Barrier" in the "Magic Barrier" and pass through it.

Once in the fifth layer, the barrier can be removed.

─ ─ That's information from the Empire's Fourth Queen, Nyala-Gaius.

But with the King's Horse and the Replica Road together, you can't use magic.

To use it, you'll need to remove some of the armor from your hands and activate magic.

The timing and how to protect the bare parts from the "magic eating barrier" is important.

Flora seems to have failed in that.

"I'm sorry, I'm Yuki-Grossalia, the Duchess of Slay's daughter.Flora touched the barrier... and was devoured by magic. "

"... it was immature... I'm sorry."

Old Zamel shook her neck and Flora snapped as she nodded.

"Looks like the 'Replica Road' of the 'Cain School' is about to be challenged.They're already heading down the aisle... "

Old Zamel with a pale expression saw me and Odette.

"It's too dangerous. That barrier is stronger than we thought.Even though they're "Cain," I don't think they can pass unharmed.Worst case scenario, losing valuable talent.... "

"Mr. Zammel, may I ask you one question?"

I noticed and asked.

"The" Replica Road "in the" Caine School "was supposed to be used by Demetrius and Ethetta-Memen, right?"

"... that's right."

"But Ethetta was taken upstairs.Miss Demetrius took Colette to serve as a watchdog for Ethetta.So, who uses the Replica Road for the Cain School? "

I've been worried about it for a while.

Ever since the Ezetta-Memen incident, the "Caynes" have been distancing themselves from the "Zammers" so that they don't know who will use the "Replica Road".

That's why we don't know who the Caynes are on their way to breaking through the barrier.

"Ezetta-Memen was a keen 'Cain'.I know that I'll leave it up to my beloved Demetel teacher to take Ethetta and interrogate her. "

"That's right. If they're both gone, who's the Replica Road...?"

"... I stopped.Yuki-Grossalia, Lady of the Duke of Sleigh. "

Old Zamel snapped with a bitter voice.

I heard the words and found the answer.

"No, Your Highness Cain?"

No way!?

Impossible.

He is the central figure of the Cain, the main town of the Magic Guild, and the second prince of the Kingdom of Liestia.

If anything happens to Prince Cain, the Kingdom and the Alliance will be in chaos.

"I rescued Flora, I was just thrown into a gap."

Old Zamel said with regret.

"His Highness Cain said, 'I am a class B sorcerer.I've been trained. You said you would take responsibility for your subordinates' malaise '... and took the' Replica Road 'and headed down the aisle... "

Unable to stop ─ ─ ─ Old Zamel snapped.

... Ethetta-Memen's plan came to light.

They were probably trying to bring Prince Cain to power.

For that reason, I was trying to do something during this expedition.But it failed.

As a result, in order to restrain the "Men's", the "Cain" had to allocate personnel.

That's why there's no one left to stop Prince Cain.

"Perhaps His Highness Cain... intends to make amends for his men's failures by breaking through the barrier.Of course, you might be interested in the fifth basement level... but you shouldn't do such a thing... "

Old Zamel chewed his lips.

And then he looked at Odette.

"I have a favor to ask of the Lady of the Duke of Sly from the Zammers."

"Yes, Mr. Zammel."

"This is a formal request as a Class A Magician.Will you stop me, Cain? "

Old Zamel said so with a nervous expression.

"After I retired, it was His Highness Cain who stood behind the 'Magic Guild'.I can't put him in danger.This is the wish of an organization that manages "ancient magic" and "ancient objects".Will you listen to me? "

"Okay."

"Will Yuki-Grossalia help the Lady Sleigh too?"

"Of course. That's why I'm here."

"... this 5th Hierarchy Exploration is an all-out project of the Magic Guild.I know what the Marquis of Menmen can't stop.But His Highness Cain himself is wrong to move.His sense of responsibility and passion for magic are invaluable... but the way he does it is wrong... "

Old Zamel had a toothache.

Continue whilst wearing a tight Flora-Zamel head.

"And... if you can break through the barrier with the 'King of Spirits Ride', do it!!I take responsibility. If anyone breaks through the barrier, Cain won't have to move.Please, Miss Sleigh and Yuki-Grossalia! "

"I understand. Let's go, Yuki."

Roger that.

We ran up the aisle to the fourth floor.

Then, with Odette wearing the "King of the Spirit", I headed to the back of the aisle leading to the fifth floor.
