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

Episode 37: Former Demon King, Running the King's Capital at Night

That night.

I watched the royal palace from the sky of the king's capital.

"Neil's safe. Looks like he's in the West Palace."

Make sure then slowly lower the altitude and I land on the roof of the building.

This is a residential area a short distance from the royal palace.

I was walking through the king's capital at night.

There are only Wang capital and many people at night. The lights in town won't go out, either, at this hour.

The Royal Palace is particularly prominent.

Guards patrol at regular intervals, and the area is lit with magic lights.

Even in the long run, I know very well that that's an important facility.

"Besides, is there a magic alarm device in the central and eastern palaces (Cuden)? Wow."

When I look away, I see a magic line (line) above the royal palace.

It combines into a net (Ami) that surrounds the palace.

Maybe it's how the magician in charge of security gets the news when you touch it.

There are magicians in the capital. It is only natural to be wary of demons and sorcerers breaking into the royal palace. I can see that.

But in the west palace where Iris is, there are few alarm devices.

There are only a few lines of magic around the building.

I hear the west palace is where the children in the side room live...... are you okay with that kind of security?

It's a residential area for royal children, and I wish it was a central royal palace-consolidated security.

Because even in that state, me and my demon can go through normally.

"Is there any reason why security is only loose in the west? So should I make another user demon for Iris? And then there's the escape route."

Are you going to get away with this? Your husband. '

On my side, Dick the bat is coming.

"If you want to escape the king's capital, I'll give you my word."

"I told Rhodelia, but that's a last resort. Dick."

Do you want to collect a lot of ancient objects?

"Two is fine. I'm going to make the Baron Glossaria a Marquis."

That's the fastest.

If the house of Grossaria becomes the Marquis, the princess Iris can marry even the other person.

A while after that, it would be nice for me and Iris to embark on a journey and get along and go missing due to some circumstance.

Me and Iris are going to stop getting old.

Besides, I have a troublesome past.

I feel like we've both been in the human world for a very long time.

"Odette's gonna be mad at me."

"Odette, are you a good person?

"Oh. As much as I want you to be immortal with Iris."

"Immortality, is it?

"Do you want to be Dick?

"I don't know -"

"I wish I had" ancient magic "and" ancient artifacts "that could make people immortal."

At least there are 'reincarnating someone' ancient objects.

This means that ancient objects can handle life.

Then it's not strange to have 'ancient magic' or 'ancient objects' that immortalize someone.

"I used to study magic like that, too. But... in the end, all I could do was magic that made people healthier. Look, if there were immortality besides me, I wouldn't have to be that noticeable either. You don't have to see your family die before I do."

"Your husband thinks amazing."

It's like paranoia.

I'm in the 'Boosted' state, jumping.

Travel from roof to roof with 'flying' skills.

Dick the bat is flying next door. Several other bats follow.

These are the bat companions Dick and his men found in the Wang capital.

They fly as a herd and hide what I look like in a good way.

He will also be in charge of reconnaissance, so he will not be found by the guards of Wang Du.

I went straight to my quarters.

"That's enough. Thank you, bats."

I got off the roof of a building near my quarters, down to the ground.

The bats who served fly away leaving only one Dick behind.

The lights are still on in the dorm room.

I told you to go to sleep first, and Martha and Remy, are you still awake?

The front door must be locked, so do you want to fly again and come in from upstairs?

When I thought so, the door to the adjoining quarters opened.

Hide in the shadow of the building reflexively.

It was Odette who came out of the adjoining quarters.

I know very well because my blonde hair is reflecting moonlight. He's hiding his face in the hood, but his hair's not hidden.

She walks out waving at the butler trying to follow her.

The dormitory next door - is that my place?

"What's up, Odette"

"- Shall we!?

Odette jumps up.

She looked at me in tears and...

"... Yuki. It's not a trick."

"Sorry. Speaking of which, I was turning off my footsteps"

"How do you walk? I mean, where were you?

"It's a night walk."

"Night lanes are dangerous, aren't they?

"It's okay, 'cause I didn't go through the night lane"

"I see. That's reassuring."

"Right."

"... hmm? Is that it? Something's wrong...?

"More than that, what's wrong with Odette? At this hour."

"Oh, yeah, I was. I got two letters from the Sorcery Guild."

"Not two?

"I think it has reached Yuki, one from the magician DeMetel, about the raid by the Bishop of the Necromancer in the Cave of the Sacred Sword, and the ancient magic used by Gaiel-Wolfgang."

"... is that it"

Me and Odette were attacked by the Necromancer during the Escort Knight Selection Exam.

He named himself the seventh bishop of the "Church of the Sanctuary", Logniel, and tried to take the Holy Sword.

In the end, I slashed him with the Holy Sword Leankal and wiped him out, but I didn't know why Gaiel-Wolfgang, who was the same cadet, summoned him.

The magicians DeMetel and Barnes said there were worshippers of the Sanctuary Church.

You mean you got the results of that investigation?

"The other one is about the Knight of Guardianship ceremony."

Odette looked at me with a round parchment.

I also found it a little blue at night.

"At the same time as His Royal Highness Iris, there is a royal family to be appointed as the Guardian Knight."

"I have a princess the same age as His Royal Highness... you mean you're here?

"Yes. Princess Salvia of the Fourth Princess. He's literally the heir to the fourth throne, and he's the son of a bitch. He is the same age as His Highness Iris, and has the right to appoint an escort knight."

He said, "Do you have an escort?" But it has nothing to do with me or His Highness...?

"... His Royal Highness Salvia said that when he heard that His Highness Iris would appoint an escort knight, he also said... It's a rumor."

... what the hell.

"Odette... you told me before. His Royal Highness Iris said that his constitution had caused him to be seen down by his half-brothers and sisters. Could it be that His Highness Salvia...?

"You talk fast. I mean, that's what (...)"

As I feared someone would ask me, Odette put his face closer to me and said,

"Okay. Is that what (...), or"

"Yeah, and on top of that, His Highness Salvia says he's going to let each other's escort knights compete in magic. That's why I got a letter from The Sorcery Guild..."

"... you're getting into trouble"

"I agree."

"Okay. I need to talk to you for a second, okay?

"Of course. I came with that intention."

"Helpful. My kid wants to give me a break already, so I can't serve tea though"

"I don't mind."

"Cucu?"

In the night, there was a small squeal.

Next to the dormitory door, there was a silver fox. It's Remy.

I didn't hear the door open... oh, did the upstairs window leave open?

I hear Remy came out of there. I guess I heard you talking.

"Remy. Is Martha still awake?
