Yomigaeri no Maou

"Nevertheless...... I don't know how many ancient dragons (enchanted dragons) a demon can be a person...... If I could do that, would I be hiding it from you?

Such a question flies from one of the conference attendees.

It didn't seem like an atmosphere of rebellion, it seemed purely questionable.

I guess that's all I'm saying is that I'm just being shocked by what just happened in front of me.

To his question like that, Barbara put her hand on his chin,

"I've been hiding it for a long time, and I haven't had a chance to show it to you, just to say. Because I haven't had a chance to come to the city or anything. There weren't that many people visiting the mountains, either. Besides, the only thing that makes this possible is me and some of the demons in the Loguera Mountains, so it's hard to think that all demons can do this."

And I said something that bothered me.

I interpreted that to mean that the majority of conference attendees could not be people without so much power, but I doubt Lulu would understand that slightly.

However, there would be no choice in pursuing that on this occasion.

What is needed now is confirmation of the covenant made between the finals and their demons.

What didn't turn out to be like this on that occasion was that he thought about the performance, but also about the effect of the fact that demons can change into people's appearances.

Citizens can't live in peace because they can't tell if they're people or demons because of their appearance.

There is no way to reveal such facts.

However, it was also true that with Barbara's answer now, some relief was given to the heavy towns that make up the finals.

If you can't be a person without a powerful demon, then you can discern to some extent if you pay attention to those with strong magic.

Even for Barbara today, the more concentrated and observant those with some drilling as magicians are, the more they can see that they have too much magic for people.

Even for a shzon of Hell Dog (Hellhound), the same is still true.

However, there is the fact that if an ancient dragon (enchanted dragon) suddenly flew into the city one day in the first place and ran out of atrocities, there would be no hand on it, but this is a risk that has always existed.

I can't help but say this about natural disasters that I can't handle.

In that case, it can only be enough for the country to come together and fight it.

Considering all that said, Barbara can be transformed into a person, the face of those present who swallowed it.

Next, to get down to business, Lord Claude, the chief responsible person on this occasion, asked Barbara.

"... Lord Barbara. Thank you for agreeing to attend this meeting…"

Barbara laughed all the way over there,

"If it's hard to talk, you can use words like you usually do. I don't like to be tasted, but I don't make eyebrows with words."

And I say things that look obvious.

It was felt by Lulu as if Claude's wording was not so strange or on the board, but from Barbara, he came to tell me that there was too much feeling that he was unable to do.

Claude frowned and threw away the attitude he seemed solemn and said back to his usual expression.

"Oh, well. Sorry, sister."

Though attendees always looked at its appearance and attitude to make the pattern almost leopardy worse, they panicked with a cold sweat that it might not be good for an ancient dragon (enchanted dragon) opponent on a boulder.

But surprisingly, Barbara's, as declared, doesn't look like she cared.

"No. Never mind."

That's what I said and I almost smiled.

Then, Claude says even more.

"Then suppose it's sweet for the word... so. I'd like to ask you, the covenant you made during the day, you can assume that's true, right?

"Of course. As far as we're concerned, we're really annoying those intruders. Even if you work with people, it means a lot to kick them out."

When it comes to why Claude is visiting this kind of thing again, it's to think about the dangers and other things, to make sure that the heavy towns who couldn't fit in clearly made a pact with the ancient dragons (Enchanted Dragons).

To do this, Barbara had to be clearly made aware that she was an ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon), and that was the hardest thing to do, but due to the change in Szon, it was already overcome.

After that, you just have to check.

In fact, the attendees seemed greatly delighted to hear Barbara's words, to have a look of surprise and convincing, and to have gained a cooperative relationship with the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon).

But I can't even just rate it positive.

One of the attendees asked.

"But... are you sure that's okay? We in the Final and the demons of the Logsuela Mountains have been in hostilities for a long time... so to speak, enemies. And yet the Barbaras have no resentment toward us? Besides,. In the future, if we establish such a cooperative relationship, we will not be able to crusade the demons that we have been carrying out in the Logsuela Mountains. That would also strike as the Union of Final Adventurers (Guild) and hence make it harder to secure Final specialties…"

In other words, when you get along with demons, you can't hunt demons and there are problems.

Sure, that's right, it would strike primarily adventurers.

It's a good story to get out of the finals, but when they do that, it's very difficult as a finals.

He asks both the Final and Barbara what they will do in that regard.

I have to check on this, Orotos also felt, and Barbara replies openly.

"It's about the existence of resentment, but whether you're a person or a demon, it makes sense to die if you're weak. Besides, we've killed you as many times as you hunted us. We can no longer say each other about that. And as for our crusade in the Logsuela Mountains, I would appreciate it if you could stop, but the truth is that there are few problems where you have actually continued. Originally, the number of adventurers stepping into the Logsuela Mountains is not as high, and the majority of that purpose seems to be more like plants and minerals that produce in the Logsuela Mountains than demons, so if you were to act like you have never had a hand in demons before, you would say nothing. However, we will also fight back. If the dead come out, please don't complain about it."

That was an objective view in a sense.

I guess people and demons are watching it all together.

If there is harmony as a whole, that is fine.

As the lord of one region, it could also be said that it was an equal view that could not be separated, but that the nostalgia was too broad and a way of thinking that people could not understand.

However, leaving aside the root of that, it is also an easy story to understand if you think only of reason.

It doesn't matter how you get involved, because this time, we'll only cooperate exceptionally with regard to the crusade of demons that have entered the Logsuela Mountains.

Then, as always, nothing will change and you will live in peace.

But it is.

Orotos thought.

Once this way, if we treat ancient dragons (enchanted dragons) in the same line as people and recognize that demons are also rational, rational and capable of dialogue, it would be too unreasonable for us, after this problem has been solved, to come back and argue with each other.

If I can, I am a neighbor who has long breathed in the same area.

I don't know if it's the other way around, but the finals have even a sort of awe for the ancient dragons.

Yet Orotos felt that once he had formed a cooperative relationship on the same side and fought, he could not say goodbye.

So, Orotos says.

"I appreciate Lord Barbara's offer... but then I'm so, so sad for you. It may not be bad to say that we will maintain a broken relationship, given our future survival, but this is how we have the wisdom to talk to each other. Instead, should we not have an exchange in the wake of this meeting? For this reason, if we need to show more respect for each other's realms than before, it may take some time, but it's not too bad to think about it… What do you think?

Orotos said so and looked at the attendees of the meeting.

The proposal, although very ideal, realistically finds that many things are difficult and that there are very high walls.

It was something they would understand because they had grasped and moved the city of Final in detail.

But it is.

They are also the ones who loved Final and lived with Final.

He has lived in awe and longing for the ancient dragon (Enchanted Dragon), who is said to be at the top of the mountain, thanking him for the grace of the Logsuela Mountains standing near the finals.

For them like that, Orotos' words were also one hope.

That is why no one spoke out against the word.

Few expressed concerns, doubts, and anxieties about it, but did not deny the part where they said that, if possible, interacting with demons in the Logsuela Mountains should be considered as one option.

What surprised me about that was that it seemed more barbaric than anyone else, blinking amber eyes.

"... people, is that good? What are you talking about yourself, but aren't we demonic materials irreplaceable to people?

It was one of those present who answered that.

"Sure you're right, but it doesn't mean it's only available in the Logsuela Mountains, so it can also be transported from other areas. Besides, as Lord Barbara said earlier, the most important specialties in this city are more the plants and minerals of the Logsuela Mountains, and if that's what you can do... I was wondering if you could give up on demonic materials but do it. Of course, with Lord Barbara's permission..."

Indeed, there are not so many adventurers entering the Logsuela Mountains, and neither are the circumstances from which demonic material must be obtained in the Logsuela Mountains.

Maybe we can handle relying on imports from other regions to make up for what's missing.

As for plants and minerals, as always, you should go into the Logsuela Mountains and collect them.

I'm just trying not to get involved with demons at that time.

"As far as we are concerned, you are free to harvest forest and mountain plants and minerals as long as you do not disturb the forest environment..."

Barbara said so, so the attendees who spoke also exhale relieved.

"You also have to think about the previous action of just entering the All-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-you-can-take-material range… let's pack it in detail later on where I said that. If you need anything, I'll think about it if you tell me."

That's what Orotos says to move on.

In that way, gradually, the prospects for the future with the Final and the demons of the Logsuela Mountains became concrete.

That is something that, unlike previous, quietly sticking together, has a lot to gain from each other, something that would be satisfactory to both if this could be achieved.

Of course, in order to do so, it is necessary to think and create various mechanisms, not on a flat path, but there is a gathering here of those who are good at what they have said.

All you have to do is kick out the intruders.

To Orotos, who said so, Barbara nodded and the meeting was over.

Then, as the conference attendees left the room in hopeful footsteps the opposite of when they came, Barbara seemed to be introduced to today's inn by the Adventurers' Union (Guild).

Shzon is also already back in person, quietly standing behind Barbara.

In the meantime, Lulu and the others tried to leave the place behind, but as they tried to pass next to Barbara, Barbara spoke to Lulu.

"Lulu! Tomorrow, I'll be free, can you show me around the city?

and.

Orotos was surprised by that word of Barbara,

"I was just about to get people out of the Adventurers Union (guild)...... but you two knew each other. Okay, Lulu. Can you ask for it? This is a request from the Adventurers' Union (Alliance) …"

That's what Orotos told me, there's no way Lulu, who's still only a low-end adventurer, can shake his neck sideways.

"... ok. Tomorrow."

That's what Lulu nods.

I feel weird pressure coming from around the back, mostly from the area where Illis is, but I decided that it would be my fault, Lulu.

As it was, I hurried to the spot before I could say anything extra.
