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

A few days after the incident in "The Black Forest (Schwarzwalt)".

Me, Iris and Odette were headed to the library in the kingdom.

The aim, of course, is to find out the current location of 'Village of Fira'.

It's been 200 years since I died in my last life.

Because of the "Eight Kings War" along the way, the country has also changed its position in the village.

Even the ancestors of the "Grail Chamber of Commerce" were about as far out of the village and started doing business as soon as I died in my previous life. Even Rhodelia no longer knows the exact location of the village.

Just in case, I inquired 'don't you know where the village is'...

'Here's what's in the legend.

"The village of Fira with My Road. After My Lord is gone, we shouldn't stick to the land or where we are.

We only prepare for the rebirth of My Lord. "

─ ─ and '

The bat brought back the message that

Just say, "Sorry. I miseducated your ancestors," I just replied.

... I also feel like it's not my fault.

That's why we're in the library.

When I arrived, I asked the clerk to give me the current and ancient maps.

Waiting in a private browsing room, the clerk brought me a round map.

And there are two maps I've spread out on my desk.

The latest map is from a few years ago.

It is about 150 years old because the ancient map depicts the end of the 'Eight Kings War'.

"That would be perfect."

Odette said as he glanced at the two maps.

"Do both Yuki and Iris have memories of previous lives? Then the location of the village can be identified immediately...?

…………

"... why are you turning sideways? Both of you."

"I've barely been out of the village in 150 years in my last life."

"My Road is still fine. I didn't take a step."

Me and Iris looked at each other.

Iris...... Alice was just a child at the time.

That's why I've never been outside the 'Village of Fira'.

Speaking of which, after wandering around for fifty years and settling in the village of Fira, I have barely left for 150 years. He was in the ancient castle doing "Guardian of the Village".

I'm not sure I remember that time.

"... as it were, well, 200 years ago. There must have been circumstances that we don't understand right now."

"... Odette's a good guy, isn't he?"

"If you say so, you won't answer anything. So, is there anything you can remember?

"... right"

I close my eyes and call back memories of my previous life.

I wandered around 350 years ago.

I don't even want to remember that time, but when I wake up my memories...

"Going south, there was an ocean. Inland Sea."

"The Inland Sea - the sea surrounded by land, is it?

"Oh. I crossed it and reached the northern town. Then I climbed up the mountain and reached the village of Fira, behind it. And the guys from" Sanctuary Church "came from the west. There was the capital of the country, and there was a branch of the 'Church of the Sanctuary'"

I thought you remembered.

"I'm not sure because I remember 350 years ago. And then there was a river in the town at the foot. There was a source near" Village of Fira ". Looking in that condition…"

"Around here, right? Yuki."

Iris' finger pointed to a point on the map.

It's on an ancient map, a small kingdom. It's in the mountains to the northeast.

If you go south, there is an inland sea, near which rivers also flow.

The coves of the Inland Sea are... close to the terrain I saw from the sky at the time.

There doesn't seem to be anywhere else that applies, and it seems like it would be a good idea to actually go here and make sure.

"That's something you'll find light..."

That's the library managed by The Magic Guild.

Maps and materials are also available at the first level.

When I was looking for him personally, I couldn't identify the location of the village 200 years ago. I have to thank you.

"So, which area will it be when you see it on the current map?

"... north of Wangdu, isn't it? This place... eh"

"... you're about five days from here on a horse. However, it is dangerous to tailor your carriage because it is close to the border with your neighbor. You have to hide your identity and go with patience."

I saw the map Iris pointed out.

On the latest map, the name 'Village of Fira' is not mentioned.

However, if you look at the terrain, you know where it is.

Iris is right, five days north of here by horse.

This is the site of the village of Fira, just ahead of you from the port facing the inland sea towards the mountains.

I don't know if the old castle I was in is still there.

But there must be a "King's Ride" in or near that place that the Lyles took away. The Lord of Nosferatu crowned my name.

Well, that's just a prediction, too.

The only way to be sure is to actually go. Anyway, I was thinking of going home once.

"... but after 200 years, towns and villages will change."

How many towns and villages have been lost because of the "Eight Kings War"?

On the map, the country has changed.

The place where the King's Capital of the country to which the 'village of Fira' once belonged is now a small town.

To the north, there seems to be a new country.

The kingdom we are in and the country across the border - a military state called the Empire.

Nothing. I'm not at war with the kingdom right now, but in any case, it's near the border around here.

It would be difficult for a royal human to tailor a carriage with dignity.

"Then... we'll have to ask Iris to leave a message."

"... I don't know"

Alice dropped her shoulder disappointingly.

"... me too... I wanted to see the site of the village of Fira"

"Hang in there. Iris. If you were to go, you would be taking soldiers in a royal carriage. But that would make a scene. You can't stay away from Wang Du for ten round-trip days, can you?

"There is too much distance to summon. Even if I could, I'd have to go home with me. I will be absent for at least five days. The princess has been missing for five days, and that's exactly what's gonna happen."

"... ugh"

"Don't give up this time. Always tell Iris about what you find over there, too. That's all right, right?

"... I promise."

"Have I ever broken a promise?

"You haven't made me a good man yet. You said you'd watch Alice until she was an adult, and she was dead first. You said you wouldn't do anything to make Alice cry."

"Sorry, sorry!

I did Iris' head.

Iris was still puffing his cheeks.

"... but I get it. Good luck this time."

"Well, it's not like I can leave right away either."

Soon there will be an orientation for The Magic Guild.

What had been postponed in the Dorothea case was finally due to resume.

Me, Iris and Odette are gonna be in on it.

At that time, we must finally keep the Holy Sword back because we will be entering the giant dungeon 'Elusion'.

I summoned him on my own the other day. I still have that one on hand.

... If you don't make it, let's go.

Now it's just about Spirit King (Lord = of =) Ride (Phantom), a giant Yoroy who emits mysterious rays, and The Magic Guild is a fuss.

It turns out that there's another thing "ancient objects" can't bottom-up, so where the Holy Sword disappeared of its own free will, you wouldn't wonder.

Either way, the Holy Sword Lean Kaal has always been sealed.

"I'll leave as soon as the orientation is over. In the meantime, does Iris need an escort knight?

"Not for a while."

"There will be an early summer festival in a month, but Iris will not be on the table until then."

"Okay. The reward (broom) for capturing Dorothea means I apply for 20 days off. I'm going to use it to get to the site of Village Fira."

"Nice. I want to apply for a vacation, too."

Blurry as Iris let the dress legs hang out.

"In my case, even if I get a vacation, I'm not free to walk."

"It would have been quicker if I'd gotten the title as a reward."

"Brother Cain said you can't do that. Me and Yuki get married by advancing the Glossaria family in three steps at once. And on our honeymoon to the site of Fira Village, that was the golden course."

"That's a hassle. Nobility rules."

"… listening to you makes the title seem like a tool…"

I held my forehead down like Odette was frightened.

"Honestly, you don't care about status or anything. You guys."

"Iris is doing her princess's job properly - I'm aware of it."

"Here. The tone is Alice. Iris."

"Pfft. It's an operation to get Mylord to call me 'Alice' -. I'm a maiden."

"You."

"It's because of MyLord that Alice died in her previous life as a maiden. In this world, you will take proper responsibility -. Absolutely."

"Don't say that in grandeur..."

"... mmm"

"I know exactly what you're trying to say. In this world, we keep our promises properly. That's all right, Alice."

"... eheh"

"I'm kind of embarrassed to hear it... Me, should I go home...?

"No, I'm in trouble if you don't stay."

"A timeless obedience, in a sense, parent and child. But secretly engaged. That's a tough relationship. You guys..."

I wonder.

As far as I'm concerned, I'll protect Iris more than he is Alice's reincarnation. I'm on the side.

That's all.

I think it's a very simple relationship.

"Speaking of which, Odette also gets a reward (broom) from His Highness Cain, right? What did you decide to get?

"The right to explore" Elusion. "

Odette strained his chest, declaring.

"You got it when Yuki beat Alek-Keels, right? It's a right that goes to the same level as" Class C Mage ". If you step to the third level, you can become a C-level magician with honor."

You're an intermediate magician.

"I'm grateful to Yuki. Without you, it would have taken longer."

"Sounds like Odette is saying 'it took a while' instead of 'I can't'"

"Naturally. I do not underestimate my strength. Except when it comes to people who are out of standard, like you."

"... If it was Odette, I guess I wouldn't use 'King's Ride (Road)' the wrong way"

"... I think so too. I think Odette can use the power of" ancient objects "for people."

Me and Iris get their faces close and discuss it with a hiccup.

"Then it would be nice for us to work together so that Odette can emerge."

"I agree, My Lord! Because if Odette puts us at the top of the 'Sorcery Guild', we'll be in touch even if we're missing."

"Okay. Then I'll think about the operation later."

"Let me know when you decide, will you?

"I hear you! I'm sorry you two are up to something terrible!!

I was pissed.

But to be honest, Odette... he thinks he's the most trustworthy person in the 'Sorcery Guild' except for Iris.

Odette found out about Iris' physique and tried to stay on his side.

Besides, during the Guardian Knight Selection Exam, he even gave me the status of Guardian Knight.

He's a man of law, he's got a strong sense of justice, and on top of that, he has magic skills.

If these people would be at the top of the 'Sorcery Guild', those who are 'a little mortally apart' like me and Iris would be able to live in peace.

I explained that to Odette.

Me.

………………

Odette turned his face bright red and shut up.

Odette, who had been staring at me for a while, said a word,

"... I think I see why you've been admired by the villagers after 200 years..."

─ ─ That's what I said.

After that, we left the private browsing room and called the scribe.

Return the map and the three of us leave the library side by side.

Odette still had a red face.

Iris immediately returns to the princess's face and embarks on the carriage that had stopped in front of the library.

It's an official outing, with permission today.

As it was, she took a royal carriage back to the outhouse to the west.

"Let's go home, too."

"Oh, yeah."

Me and Odette stand side by side and walk out toward the aristocratic city.

The sun is already setting and the area is stained bright red.

Me and Odette are both wearing the Magic Guild robes. The sunset was too bright, so I lowered my hood to the depth of my eyes. If you look to the side, Odette does the same thing.

"... you know, yuki"

"... what's up. Odette."

"I... am so glad to see you. Even if you weren't Iris' My Lord 'or a reincarnated patron saint, I'm sure we'd have been friends."

"Thanks, Odette"

"It doesn't change that one day, when you disappear from people's worlds, you are friends. Don't forget that."

"Oh. I'll never forget"

It was kind of illuminating, so I put the hood down deep in my eyes, and I said,

"I don't know how long I have, but I'm going to tell you about my friend Odette-Sray until my existence disappears."

"That's too heavy. Congratulations!!

Talk about no such deflection, laugh.

We went straight back to the adjacent quarters.

"Yuki. We have a letter from the Sorcery Guild."

"I'm also ready for dinner. Oshi-jun."

When I got back to the quarters, Martha and Remy greeted me.

Remy holds my hand and pulls it toward the dining room.

Martha offers me a barrel of parchment, whispering at her.

The parchment was sealed with the crest of the 'Sorcery Guild'.

A guide to the Trainee Orientation, which will take place in a few days.

Trainees move the first tier of 'Erución' in pairs.

The course was about freedom, awarding those who arrived at the magician who waited in goal the fastest as the best.

As expected, me and Iris are in the same group (pair).

Odette's going to be paired up with a countess I don't know.

The giant dungeon 'Elusion' is where the ghost of the 'Sanctuary Church' was. Doesn't feel very good.

Me and Iris can use Magic Blood (Mystery Blood) and Quasi Magic Blood, respectively, so it would be okay to have some trouble. Because I'm going to take Dick with me this time.

"… just in case, get ready"

That's what I was thinking as I headed to the dining room with Martha and Remy.
