Yomigaeri no Maou

"Kiku"

It is Rigadora who is flying with such a grumpy voice that notes are likely to come on.

Its chest held a cloth bag as round and swollen in the bread as its body shape, and all its contents were confectionery.

Sounds like Albertine made him prepare it at some point, and he ended his conversation with Claude and handed it to me in the steps of his return.

Rigadora received it with a satisfied face, and then seemed much happier.

By the way, while Lulu and the others were talking to Claude, Rigadora had been eating sweets.

I was obsessed with the conversation and didn't realize it, but it seems Albertine was letting the butlers and maids carry it and give it away.

I would have consumed a good amount of it, but strangely its shape hasn't changed much, but it is originally like a little fat, so I may just not have been able to recognize it after a slight change.

"... have you already forgotten what happened in the woods?

Even as Booshiri and Lulu shrugged, Illis shook his head.

"I'm not trying to forget... Aren't you healthy?

But Zoe narrowed her eyes suspiciously,

"... I think you're just forgetting that one with a dragon head that's not a bird head. Well... that's fine if you're well."

and smash Illis' inspiring anticipation.

The reality is that Zoe would be right, but I wouldn't dare ask Rigadora.

Because maybe 90% of them are bird-headed, but maybe there's an effort in the remaining 10%.

"Well, that's hard on a guy who seemed to be one of us originally."

Lulu says as he remembers how the Hellhounds (Hellhounds) confronted him then.

"Again, were you one of them? I don't know..."

Ilis thought a little and said so with his neck tilted.

"I guess he originally lived in the mountains. You're pretty sure he was one of them, aren't you? Or you might as well look familiar... but that unspeakable atmosphere doesn't feel like that kind of friendliness, does it?

To Lulu's words, Zoe says.

"It didn't feel like there was going to be some kind of fuzzy situation. In person... or Hondragon? I wish I could ask, but there's a language problem..."

"Well... you'll see, won't you? Make it a crusade. Make it an investigation, we're going to the woods and the mountains again. You'll see those demons again... because it felt like the stranger wouldn't miss them."

"So we're going to fight? If you're a friend of Rigadora's, you can't take her down... and you have to work hard."

Zoe can't win, he didn't say.

Whether it's Lulu or Illis, I'm not going to expose you to losing.

Sure, it was a powerful demon, but it wasn't at a level I couldn't do anything about it.

The problem is that we have to act in the direction of keeping him alive without hurting him as much as we can, but that will also work out depending on how we do it.

"Kew?

Rigadora, who looked back at the lululu who was talking about something, rang and tilted her neck, but all three of them shook their heads to show that it was nothing.

"... if you're one of us, I want you to be as close as you can be"

The word that came out of Fu Lu's mouth was nothing more than the one that came out thinking of his two companions, whom he had met for a long time.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"... Lord Moitz, head of the Northern Union (North Master)!? Why is it better to be revealed in the finals by one of the Quadripartite Union leaders (Kvar Masters) who bind the Leonard Kingdom Adventurers Union (Guild)......?

It was impossible for a soldier at the West Gate of the Final, who was checking the passes and identities of those entering and leaving the Final, to look at the identity cards he had been given and to tell you a whispering but surprising voice.

The top five people who bind the Adventurers' Union (Guild), the Great Union Leader (Grand Master), and the Quartet Union Leader (Kvar Master).

The name of one of them, Northern Union Chief (North Master) Moitz, is because it weighs so much.

Essentially, we are not leaving the underground city of Teram Nadia, the northern headquarters of the Adventurers' Union (Guild), from which we are supposed to be sending instructions to all over the place, but such a person has visited us without prior notice.

It was an impossible story to tell you not to be surprised.

Besides, your man - even he is in a pretty responsible position in the Adventurers Union (Guild), and if what his ID says is true, he seems to be at the top of the Final Adventurers Union Leader (Guildmaster), and you can't help but think that something happened to the Final Adventurers Union (Guild) because both of them came to the Final.

The time is the time.

As someone who lives in a city called Final, where the Adventurers Union (Guild) has a considerable place to rely on in connection with the Logsuela Mountains, and as one of the soldiers of the National Army stationed in the Final, it is difficult to have something happen to the Adventurers Union (Guild) at this time of year.

With that thought in mind, the soldier was unnecessarily surprised and felt nervous about holding his breath.

But a huge whale-based (Levitayan) seaman (Aquarius) man with his face out of the front of the carriage told the soldier in a calm voice.

"No, I'm sorry to disturb you, I know. This visit wasn't particularly about the Adventurers' Union (Guild), it was personal. I've come to the corner, so I'm also thinking somewhat of a visit to the Final Adventurers' Union (Guild) - now that I know the finals are rough due to issues about the Logsuela Mountains, I'm willing to help if there's anything I can do to help, but I will never do anything to annoy you. So I would appreciate it if you would allow me to pass through..."

From the content of the story, and his appearance, the soldier understands that this person is Moitz-Divik, the head of the Northern Union.

Besides, I also found out that apparently he didn't come here because something was wrong.

Something personal happened, but I've never heard him say he has a close acquaintance with the finals.

But he is a fairly famous public figure.

Even if you had a friend who said that, it wouldn't be weird to hide it for your own safety.

Convinced if you consider that you have never seen him come here before simply because he did not go through this gate or because of other conveniences.

In the first place, there can be no such thing as authority to decide not to let a soldier through him.

Immediately another gatekeeper soldier is running to the lord for a report, and it can be a problem to hold him back any longer.

The soldier who thought that far, politely returned his ID,

"No, I'm not saying I don't approve of traffic in particular, but I'm a little surprised. There are no problems. Please, come through."

That's what I said to make it look as resolute as I could, and I put the carriage through the finals.

Moitz seemed like a warm man with a very low back personality, not fitting that giant, to a soldier,

"Good job, good job. So many of the Final Gatekeepers are good."

And I told him with a voice that didn't sound flattering and said:

The soldier was badly impressed with his self-esteem by this word, but at the same time, he felt he knew the vessel of something called a great man, who, because he was such a big person, could take on the responsibility of being the head of the Northern Union and so on.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Weren't you terribly nervous, that gatekeeper soldier... Dear Moitz. After all, you should have touched it before..."

The man of your man groaned so toward Moitz, who was in front of you.

The word itself sounds like a complaint, but more than that, it's a voice that feels respect for Moitz.

It is understandable also from arranging a carriage for Moitz, who said suddenly my utmost, and from dividing the various jobs that Moitz was supposed to have had to clean up to other officials, loading the carriage only with what Moitz himself really had to do, and doing all the chores on it, including essentials, etc.

Moitz was going to do all the work in the travel sky or in the Final Adventurers' Union (Guild), but he told Moitz to take a vacation because it was a good opportunity to do so voluntarily.

In retrospect, I hadn't taken a vacation or anything in years.

I didn't even visit some city this way on a personal matter, again.

That's unexpected - by the survival reports of those I've been waiting for, I was terribly surprised by the visit, Moitz himself.

Moitz replies to the man who lived a long time but doesn't know what life is.

"Sometimes it's fun to surprise people like this... a little, it seemed like a bad time in the finals right now, but at the end you seemed to understand..."

"Are you a demon of the Logsuela Mountains? You were talking about the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon) moving to Wang Du, where he was hosting a martial arts competition for some reason. In and of itself, it was an incredible report, but if you look at the many reports sent by the finals, there seems to be little truth in the story that ancient dragons (enchanted dragons) have moved from the Logsuela Mountains."

"Yep... the demon activation seems to be getting worse every day... and I just want to cooperate that I can. With the authority of the head of the Northern Union, it's easier to call adventurers than elsewhere, and the amount of money you can contribute will change. There will be less cooperation."

If things get like demons pushing in from the Logsuela Mountains, that's what the Northern Adventurers Union (Guild) is dangerous if we don't respond together.

Considering it an inspection for this purpose, it may not be possible to say that Moitz is now in this city for personal reasons only, though.

That said,

"... I would never have gone over it if nothing had happened..."

Those words come out of my mouth.

And I was annoyed.

Moitz knew well that when he put it in his mouth like that, nothing could have happened.

When I realized that, it was strange because the view outside seemed more and more like it.

The city of Final is beautiful.

Various people should usually be walking around, but there is no shadow of it right now.

People were sparse and idle.

I heard the gatekeeper soldier tell me a little bit, but today, he was talking about a bunch of demons attacking here.

Fortunately, the city soldiers, plus the adventurer's efforts seem to have made it out of the gate, and the city itself didn't seem to have caused any damage, but I guess the city folks still think that we can't go outside for a day today.

The majority of people walking in the city are soldiers and adventurers with swords, with few ordinary people.

As Moitz stared at such people blurredly, he realized that his gaze had stopped unconsciously.

At that moment, Moitz didn't know why his gaze stopped.

For some reason, it stopped.

There was only that fact.

But if you look closely in the direction in which your gaze stopped, the reason was obvious.

There were three young adventurers and a little dragon (Liga Dragon) walking there, but one of them was strongly inspired by the memories of a long time ago, deep within himself.

…… That's... no, your year is... right!

Moitz, thinking a little, comes and tells the man of his lord.

"Ivan!! Please stop the carriage!

"Huh!?

"Quick! Please!

"Ha, ha!

Despite what I was told all of a sudden, Ivan, the man of that man called, pulls the reins firmly, pulls the carriage over to the edge of the road and stops.

The moment the carriage stopped, Moitz went outside with his front open and approached the group of three and one quickly.

Moitz's giant is several times more than a normal human race (human).

Whale-based (Levitayan) seamen (Aquarius) are not even large until a certain age, but were characterized by a rapid increase in size beyond a certain age, which quickly outweighed the size of the human (Human) body.

Among them, Moitz is a giant enough to live long and count faster from above even among whale (Levitayan) seamen (Aquarius).

Moitz was aware that if something like that ran and came close, it was horribly decided, so he didn't run and suppressed it with fast feet.

The truth is, I wanted to hurry up and get close, but I put up with it.

But even if it's a quick leg, a normal person (a human) would be a frightening place.

That's all the beauty the Whale (Levitayan) Seamen (Aquarius) have.

But those three and one, don't react normally to what I said, staring at Moitz with grandeur.

While feeling something fresh about the reaction, Moitz told a beautiful silver-haired woman who would be the oldest of those threesomes.

"... I apologize for asking you this question all of a sudden... but your grandmother, Zoe, which is it?

If you try Moitz, it was a question with a generation of determination, but it seemed a little different for women.

The woman opened her big eyes further to Moitz's question and then suddenly laughed out.
