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

"Thank you for helping my daughter Natasha!

"Thank you very much -"

Count Torrias and his daughter Ofelia bowed their heads to us.

"Thank you for your hospitality." "Thank you."

Me and Odette return the old man too.

Now we're at the Count Torrias' mansion.

The truth is, after I got off the ship, I was going to keep looking for the inn.

But...

"You two benefactors... the mighty magician and the lady of the Duke of Slay can't face you, lord!

"Please. Please stop by the Count's house and let me thank you…"

- And Ophelia and the captain asked me to.

You both looked so desperate.

Sometimes I decided to stop by the Count's house because I was concerned about Ophelia's song.

Aside from whether that's my theme song or not, you should see if she's an associate of 'Village of Fira'.

Besides, this Torrias territory is a neighbor of the Village of Fira.

It's possible the villagers left me that message in the song.

Then I need to make sure of that, too.

I'm good at finding hidden messages.

It's always been my job to score what the kids in the village wrote.

"Come on, go ahead. Enjoy."

This is the Count Torrias' mansion, the reception room.

Beyond a table lined with dishes, Count Torrias has a gentle grin.

"This territory of Torrias is a land rich in seafood. I don't know if it would suit the mouth of the people who teased Wang Du, but please, enjoy it!

"Please -"

Count Torrias' words were taken over by his daughter, Ophelia.

She stretches out her thin arms and says, "... this is the salt grill of 'Rollo Roggai'" "This is the sautéed 'Araumidara' and 'Huenaiva turtle'..." and explains the dish.

The table is lined with plenty of seafood delights. It's too luxurious for a country nobleman.

Count Torrias says you're really welcome.

"How do you eat this...?

Odette is sautéing 'Araumidara' in front, eyes round.

Because her parents are inland, or they've never eaten anything like this.

"Ugh, it doesn't peel off well. What should I do..."

"Follow me, I will"

Hey, and, get out of the chair, Ophelia's coming towards us.

With a knife and a fork in his hand, he cuts Odette's 'Araumidara' apart.

It was a familiar gesture.

In front of the amazing Odette, the fish skin and bones are quickly peeled off and it's just me.

"Now... what do you say?

"It's amazing. You have a wonderful schedule."

"So, True... No, Yuki-Grossalia, take your time..."

"Hmm?"

When I looked to the side, Ophelia was stiff with the knife and fork in her hand.

He's staring at me and the dishes.

"... Master Yuki-Grossalia. Fish, good."

"... because I used to eat river fish in my hometown"

"... 'Araumidara' is difficult to remove because of its beard... so pretty... it looks like a strange skeletal specimen. A lot of" lolololololololololol shrimp "can only be removed from the shell (from)..."

I was accidental.

Now I'm the second son of the Baron Glossaria family living in the hinterland. You're not used to seafood.

Should I have eaten more clumsily?

It's an old piece of shit, and I cut the fish apart in my mind...

The children of "Village of Fira", they were clumsy.

When I was little, if I hadn't taken the bones, the fish wouldn't have eaten well.

Besides, "Araumidara" was a birthday treat every five years for the children.

I snuck up to the ocean and caught him.

After that, he gave it to the village cook, but they're gonna sauté the whole thing.

When I fed the children, I had to take their bones.

That's why I'm better at eating fish.

"Yuki-Grossalia is very good at eating seafood."

"... I tried and I could do it"

"You know it tastes good when you roll a fish in a walnut."

"... because it was delicious when I tried it"

…………

"Because even in my hometown, river fish will be caught. But I've never tasted so good."

"... it's an honor to compliment you. Yuki-Grossalia."

Countess Ophelia is staring at me.

But you don't ask me if I'm Dean-Nosferatu from The Village of Feela.

Is it because Odette is here, or because Count Torrias is present?

The Earl across the table has a white beard and a smiling face.

The Count himself doesn't seem to have any doubts about my identity.

"This, Ophelia. Guests won't be able to calm down and eat even if they're too stuck."

"Well, I did...... not anymore"

Ophelia blushes her cheeks and returns to her seat.

After laughing at my daughter like that, Count Torrias asks me and Odette.

"Speaking of which, how come the two of you from The Sorcery Guild are in this Torrious Territory?

"Actually, I have some research to look into."

I told them the answers I had prepared on the ship.

"Me and Odette are trainees of The Magic Guild. You're going to learn and go about magic in your guild. So I actually wanted to see the world before I went into classroom teaching."

"Oh, that's study enthusiastic!

"In particular, this territory of Torrias is also where we were once caught in the 'Eight Kings War'. As someone involved in witchcraft, I thought I'd learn to look around the ancient battlefields in order to teach the Church of the Sanctuary on the other hand."

"No, that's right. The younger one is wonderful!

Count Torrias clapped his hands with pleasure.

Odette laughs "You're brilliant" as she looks at us on the side.

"Let me help you. If you want to go anywhere, I'll show you to Ophelia..."

"Right......"

I'll think about it for a second.

"I'd like to walk in the mountains of the north."

"In the mountains of the north, sir?

"Yeah. There's a record that there used to be a small village around there. It also seemed to be close to and influenced by the forces of the 'Sanctuary Church'. I want to see what kind of life they were running on the knees of the nearby Sanctuary Church."

"Sure, we have a record that there was a village around there. But now, there's no one else."

said Count Torrias.

Serious face, clearly.

"Before and after the Eight Kings War, there was a landslide. The road leading to the village is gone. The villagers were down the mountain a long time ago and there were no victims..."

"Were you...?

"Now no one goes to the site of the village anymore. You can't get there unless you fly in the sky."

"Thank you for your valuable information"

"No, I'm sorry I couldn't help you"

"It was incredibly helpful. You can't get there unless you fly in the sky, can you?

"Yeah, that's what I'm hearing."

That won't be a problem.

Me and Odette gazed and nodded.

The policy has been decided.

Let's take a rest at the inn today and tomorrow and decide to leave early in the morning the day after tomorrow.

I know the distance and direction to "Village of Fira".

If you fly with 'Flight Skills', you should be able to reach the village site in a few hours.

Speaking of which, Ophelia's mother loved that village song.

"... Yes"

Ophelia held her mouth in embarrassment and nodded.

"He said there were some very good singers in that village. He sang a gentle song around with a harp in his hand to heal the hearts of those who were hurt in the Eight Kings War."

"Did that happen..."

I knew it was amazing. Those guys.

Did you also think about the world properly?

That's how, 200 years later, I left my culture behind.

... It's a big deal. That's really amazing. Humans.

"Can I sing a song? Yuki, Odette."

The little Ophelia slowly stepped out of the chair and looked at me and Odette.

"Although Kaasama died when Ophelia was little... Ophelia taught a lot of songs. Some songs were told to sing when important customers arrived. So can I sing?

Ofelia watching us still.

I'll see if she has any similarities to the people in "Village of Fira".

Sleepy eyes and light peach hair remind me of someone.

Who was it......

Speaking of those who sing well in "Village of Fira," is Rosalba the farmer's daughter......

Speaking of which, she was close to Alice.

He was about ten years older than Alice, but he admired me like your sister.

Ofelia looks like her. Though it's just the color of my hair.

"Master Yuki, Master Odette. May I sing a song welcoming you?

Ofelia looked at us and thanked us.

"Of course it is. Yuki's good too, right?

"Right. Let me know."

I nodded.

Assuming the Ophelia song is the message of 'Village of Fira', you can't miss hearing it.

This is all the more so if what remains until this day and age. I'd love to hear it.

"Now let's hear the song that you taught me to welcome the important ones..."

Ofelia says, me and Odette applaud.

And Ofelia began to sing, shaking her little body.

"Oh, my dear My Lord. My favorite patron saint. My thinkers..."

"" Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!!

Me and Odette coughed up at the same time.

"Hey, what's up, both of you"

"... yes, the fish urchin is in my throat..." "The shellfish juice is just in my trachea..."

That's what I finally answered.

Odette's shaking, too, holding her mouth.

Staring at us like that, Ophelia-Torius keeps singing.

"Everything I am - belongs to the True Lord.

I always want to stare him in the eye. "

The look on Ophelia-Torius's face remains the same.

I just dyed my cheeks a little and keep singing quietly.

The people in our village, what a song they left behind...

No, it's culture. Songs like this, they stay out of time!

This... is probably the song Alice got Rosalba to make.

Speaking of which, before the last village festival, I had seen Alice with lyrics.

In the end, because of the epidemic of Death Tattoo Disease, there was no village festival that year, and I died shortly after that in my previous life.

Now, 200 years later, it was still in Ophelia's maternal lineage.

Does that mean that she, Ophelia, is also a descendant of "Village of Fira"?

... I guess. There's no one left but the villagers with this song.

"--- Oh, someday, with that one..."

The song is over.

I managed to stay calm, but I almost tortured him... this.

"... my mouth is going to be sweet."

Odette is flailing at the table.

But that's the end of the song. Calm down. Let's talk.

"It's the second song." The song of a festival called My Lord. "

You still have it!?

I don't even know, a song like this.

Village guys, what were you doing after my death!?

"... Odette"

"... what is it? Yuki."

"... Will you sing this song to him (...) when I get back to Wang Du? In return."

"... there will be no retribution. On the other hand, are you surprised?

"... right"

Then I kept listening to Ophelia-Torius songs.

The song was so good.

If only the lyrics were decent, I think I would have been touched from the bottom of my heart.

In the meantime, I was convinced that there would be the site of 'Village of Fira' ahead.

Perhaps this song itself is a message to me that I was reincarnated. The village of Fira is nearby.

But... there's a little more to it.

The people in our village are brilliant, but you're using your powers the wrong way...

"Congratulations... thank you"

After singing five songs to continue standing, Ophelia bowed deeply.

I managed to stay calm and clap. Good luck.

"It was an amazing, beautiful voice. That's a great melody, too."

"We've heard a very valuable song."

"... I was taught the precautions of singing this song."

Ofelia, saying so, gave a gentle grin.

"If you meet someone who thinks it's him (...), sing and observe the look on his face again and again."

"Observe the expression?

"The True Lord in the song is kind, lighter, so if you listen to this song, you'll have a reaction,"

You're a convicted criminal.

"Thanks to that, I get it"

"Whoa. What are you talking about, Ophelia? Besides, I've never heard a song like this before."

"Maiden has a secret song. Good day."

That's what Ophelia put her finger on her lips.

Side by side, staring at me.

"It's just that this Ophelia-Torius wants to be on your side, Yuki-Grossalia, who helped Natasha," he said.

That's what Ophelia said, laughing with a naughty face.

Confirmed.

Ophelia knows who I am.

And Ophelia's maternal clan is descended from the village of Fira.

I guess you told him about me in your previous life in a song and left him to be on your side when you met him.

"Thank you. Master Ophelia-Torias."

I turned to Ophelia and bowed my head.

I know what the lyrics are about, but this is a song the guys from "Village of Fira" left me.

I have to thank you for letting me hear that.

"We have listened to a precious song"

"Naturally. Natasha, you should say the same thing."

That's what Ophelia laughed lightly.

Then I looked at Count Torrias.

"Speaking of which, Natasha, you went to the king's capital."

"Yeah. I'm telling Natasha to go to the Royal Palace and the" Sorcery Guild "at the end of the deal. Recently, the border has become a little uneasy."

said Count Torrias.

"In fact, recently, near the border, the movement of the empire has been enlivened."

"The Empire?

"Yeah. It's the Gaiul Empire of the North. We conduct military training near the border. Because of this, the demon movement is also active. So I sent Natasha to the king's capital to get help."

Gaiur Empire, huh?

Even though the remnants of "Sanctuary Church" are troublesome, a nasty opponent made a move.

"Well, it also means it's going to be a fight soon. Don't you two worry."

"Speaking of empires... I've picked this up before"

I took the parchment out of my nose.

There's a mark there that resembles a crown.

"When I helped Natasha, it was a crest on a coin found in a demonic nest called Armed Auga."

Precisely the crest that Odette had carved on the coin he picked up.

The real one is submitted to The Adventurer's Guild. Should have been sent to The Sorcery Guild by now.

"It's a coin I don't see within the kingdom, so I thought it might belong to the Empire..."

"I've seen currencies within the Empire...... I don't recognize this. The drawings are special, and I think they belong to the Empire."

"... Really?"

Then we had a little talk, and we had a luncheon.

After that, me and Odette were to stay at the Count's mansion.

Because I thought Odette could rest better than stay at the inn.

Besides...

Good afternoon.

This could happen, because I expected it.

Late at night.

I heard a knock on the door of the room.

When I opened the door...... there stood Ophelia-Torius in a dress, as expected.

"Greetings again...... I will. Yuki-Grossalia..."

"What's wrong? At this late hour."

"I'm home. You were... the patron saint of the village on that mountain, Mylord, are you?

In a whispering voice, Ophelia-Torius said.

"If you are My Lord, I have something to tell you...... Would you mind letting me in your room...?
