The Reincarnated Sage ~I Will Forge the Strongest Empire in the Demon Forest!~

It's been a few days since Bellamus became mayor and named the town after him.

Being named mayor doesn't change your job description.

You work day in and day out to make the town grow.

But now that I have some stability and less work to do, I have more time to rest these days.

Bellamus hoped that he would grow richer and be able to live more comfortably in the future.

Just as he was taking his mind off things, a source of turmoil arrived in the village.

Then one day.

"Is Varamus here?

Hugo came to visit me at the Bellams' house.

"What's up?

I was just watching the scene outside the gate. There's a Ningenga with some serious armor lying outside the gate. What should we do?

'Humans with armour? I want to take a look at it anyway. Which is the north or south gate?

North gate.

As Bellamus turned to head for the north gate.

Where are you going, Vellums?

Delarosa, who was asleep a moment ago, is coming.

She says there's a human lying on the north gate. I'm going to see what she looks like.

'What? Ningen! I'm coming with you.

Delarosa with his tempers in high gear.

It seems she's interested in someone other than Dellarosa.

There's no particular reason for him to refuse, so he agrees to follow me.

I'll walk down the city street to the north gate.

Climb to the top of the gate to see what it looks like outside.

Sure enough, there's a man in armor lying on the ground.

It's wearing armor like a knight wears.

It is wearing a full-face helmet, so we can't see its face, and we don't know its gender.

He doesn't appear to be large, but since knights are often male, Bellamus judges that it's probably a man.

"That's so cool. What can you do, Bellamus?

We'll just check if he's alive or dead. If he's alive, we'll help him.

With that, Bellamus opened the gate and walked out. Delarosa followed him.

She approaches the armored man.

"Wu...... Wu......", I hear a voice say.

It's like he's alive.

You okay? What's wrong with you?

Bellamus is calling out, checking his condition.

He's mumbling and whispering something.

Unable to hear, Bellamus takes off his full face-helm.

"Huh?

Seeing the face beneath Helm's, Vellums was a little surprised .

It was a woman, surprisingly.

The woman was talking in a quiet voice.

"Belly......

Are you hurt in the stomach? So when I went to look it up.

I heard a gurgling sound.

'I'm hungry ......'

......

Bellamus looked slightly dismayed.

'Delarosa. Bring me some water and food.

Okay.

Then he fed the woman the water and rice that Delarosa had brought with her .

Fat.

'You're safe! I will never forget this debt of gratitude!

After feeding her, he took her into town and let her sleep for a while, and the woman's condition improved.

Belamus had to deal with the situation on his own, telling the residents that he didn't want to startle them by showing them the demon out of nowhere.

I did what I thought was natural.

'You're solid for a small one!

...... "What's your name by the way? My name is Vellums.

My name is Riza Rudresh. Vellums is a very unusual name.

So why were you lying at the gate of this town?

Hmmm... I had been looking around in the Great Forest for a place, but I couldn't find it and I got lost. Then I ran out of food and was wandering around on empty stomach. I'm ashamed to say that I have no memory of that hunger. I don't remember how I got here and I don't remember collapsing. Where am I?

This is a town called Belesdral.

I've never heard of this town. Where is it?

In the Fullerase Forest.

"Huh?

Hearing Vellums' words, Riza looks like she's in a daze.

''Again... . You can't make fun of me. There's no way there's a human town in a place that's become a den of demons like that!

"Don't be too surprised to hear that this is a city of demons, not humans. But rest assured that we are not hostile to humans at all.

'The demon ...... town? But Mr. Vellums, you are a human child, aren't you?

Yes, but... I'm the only person in this town.

......!

The moment Riza heard it, she rushed outside .

And when she saw the hobgoblins walking outside, and Alraune and the others

I finally found it: ......

"Nuh-uh?

Vellums can't understand the meaning of Riza's mutterings .

Shortly thereafter, Riza dropped to her knees on the ground, hung her head, and

'I am a knight in the service of the Countess of Astraeus! I'm here to bring Master Bellamus back to House Astraeus!

He said that out loud.
