Yomigaeri no Maou

Claire-Najoire.

That's the name of the girl Lulu met on the market.

After the girl asked for her brother's name, she also asked for her own.

It was just an encounter all over the city, so it was also possible to break up without even asking his name as it was and choose a path that would never involve him.

But I didn't feel like doing that.

Originally, Lulu didn't have as much time or time as he did to search for Ortes, Krall's brother, than he did to compete in a martial arts tournament, but he couldn't let it go.

Fortunately, there is only one game in a day for fighting competitions.

Being in the main race doesn't change that, only on the last day, so much so that we could possibly play two games.

So after your game, and the time before it, you can also twist the time that you hit Ortez's search.

For this reason, Lulu thought of cooperating personally in the search for the girl's brother Ortes.

That said, I don't even feel like what a human being who is only an individual can do, but Lulu has various powers and connections to say about it.

I decided to try to be optimistic that nothing could be done at all.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

"Sounds like it was a long time ago, did you need anything?

Back home, Iris and Kyou had already eaten and asked Lulu, who was late, why.

I don't feel any trust in myself around the fact that I don't get bored here.

If it was a humiliation or something that kept you waiting, they would definitely be complaining about something.

I give the spices I received from Krall to the UK, and I give them an overview of what was going on in the market.

Iris snorted and listened to Lulu as he sprinkled the spices on himself and Kyou and the dishes still left in the pan.

I've heard it all. The Illis,

"Are you going to look into it?

And that's what Lulu's been asking before he said whether to look for Ortes or not.

I understand Lulu's personality very well, I guess that means.

Lulu nods to the words of Illis and answers.

"Oh... I was hoping I could help. Anyway, if you don't know me, I've gotten to know you... and I don't like to keep my mouth shut here."

Maybe they'll disagree, that's the answer I thought, but also to the clap, Illis affirms Lulu's words.

"If you're my brother, I thought you'd say so... and I have no particular reason to disagree."

And from the side to the kiki I was listening to,

"Don't worry, I'll collect the information."

and so on.

After I was reborn, and before that - I felt it when I was the Demon King, but I thought again that maybe I was a privileged companion.

◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

And it's not like the three of us can do anything about it.

We cannot talk about it unless we find out where the unforeseen adventurers have gone in the king's capital, Desierto, including Ortes, first of all.

Lulu has enough power to fight, but not so much when it comes to finding someone who said so.

There is also an effective distance between high magic and sensing abilities obtained through manipulation techniques, and there is an irresistible part of it when it is far away.

With his sensing abilities, Lulu was walking through the King's capital exploring for signs of the unforeseen adventurers, but he could never find them.

It should have been seen that each of the roughly magical bearers has what they call an inherent wavelength of magic, but since they can't even feel the remnants of it, perhaps they are not already in the king's capital.

For the record, the magic wavelength Lulu is looking for is that of Anku.

I remember very little about Ortes' because I wasn't paying attention, and because Anku is remembered for having a characteristic wavelength of magic that was long evil and distorted for a people (human).

I remember Ankwu even more because he fought directly.

When I exchanged swords with Ankwu, I thanked him for fighting him so much that I never wanted to fight anyone like him again, but I didn't know what facts would help me in any way.

That said, so far, it's more pointless than tracking Anku's magic wavelength after all, but it hasn't been found.

"It's not that people are good at finding people, but you should ask Gran and Yumis for help."

Immediately after Lulu spoke to Iris, that's what Iris said as soon as he decided to search for Ortes.

So now I'm walking toward the family (Klan) "Explorer of the Age (Elam Kupidr)" building.

Kyou also seemed to agree on that, and at last he said he should also ask Chiffon for help.

Because Chiffon is the main player in the tavern, it seems that the reason for this information is because it snuggles Kikyo far away.

Kyou is only collecting and integrating rumors from people he knows in the tavern, but Chiffon, as an arm-written cook, has a different scale of information because he is good at what he calls shops all over the Wang capital.

With her help, Kyou would be able to gather at least the majority of rumours, so Chiffon's information network would be considerable.

And at the end of the day, never turn to the enemy, he added.

"If I go back, I'll be gone in an hour!

Around what he said, I guess that's the experience.

He asked me to work seriously, beat him in the head for now, and then he went back to his family (Klan) "Explorer of the Age (Elam Kupidr)".

◇◆◇◆◇◆

Apparently, lunch is closed, too. The "Explorer of the Times (Elam Kupidr)" tavern is empty, with the exception of the adventurers belonging to his family.

In it, Lulu spoke to Chiffon, who was wiping dishes behind the counter in the center.

"... Chiffon, how are you?

The turned chiffon is, as usual, a style in glasses on three knitting, and looks wild at any rate.

She was like that, but she turned around and said to the smile that came to her when she found Lulu and Illis, with an attractive smile on her face so much that most of the impression was taken.

"I'm fine. It's been a while, but I don't really come here, so I'm lonely. Gaya and the others belonged to the Explorer of the Age. Please don't hesitate to come."

Ask me, Lulu and the others realized that their feet were completely far from here.

That was the fault of the Gayas in the first place for their affiliation to the martial arts tournament, for their measures to avoid spreading their strengths, but the problem was that they were given a building that would be their home, and while they were living there, they built a lifestyle that they could do without having to come here to do it without any problems.

From the Lulu's house, it's not that far away, but the reason for coming to me was also more sparse, so in the sense of saying so, maybe this time was just right.

With that in mind, Lulu replies to Chiffon's words.

"Speaking of which, yeah...... good cooking in Illis but good cooking in Chiffon too. From now on, I'll come every once in a while. Is that okay with Iris, too?

"That's right... then I'd like to help you with the store too"

Surprisingly, he wants to try working in a tavern.

Why, if you ask,

"Mr. Kyou seems to be having a lot of fun... and I'm kind of getting more and more informed. And I want to know the secrets of Mr. Chiffon's cooking."

and returned.

Whether a strange sense of confrontation has sprung up, or if you just want to learn to cook, I can't tell from the way it is, but nothing like disagreeing with it as a lulu.

Lulu nodded thinking so.

Then I told him as if Chiffon had noticed something all the time.

"... and that's all the public talk I've had ~, what can I do for you?

The hand that wipes the dishes has stopped, and its eyes are not filled with blurred emotions, but with serious light.

Lulu is surprised when he suddenly feels like he has been shown his face as an adventurer for Chiffon.

But Kyou didn't seem to, and asked the question without being particularly pressured.

"Yeah, yeah, that's right. Actually... the adventurers have been missing lately, haven't they? I was wondering if you knew anything about the area!

and well.

Then Chiffon opens the drawer below the counter.

When I saw it, there were a number of documents lined up there.

Not a very good quality one, rough paper is the majority, but there is a surprising mention of fine letters there.

Chiffon didn't know what was going on from the outside. From among them, he took one out and started talking.

"We have a bunch of people if that story ~. First of all, from the number of people who went missing. Five junior top adventurers, twelve intermediate adventurers, three intermediate class knights, and one advanced adventurer, that's 21. Other than that, it hasn't been confirmed so far. There are possibilities for more to come, but that's all we have grasped as of this morning. I also have a detailed profile of missing persons ~"

Lulu can't hide his surprise that Chiffon's story is more detailed than Kyou was talking about and even knows the breakdown of the missing person.

Besides, they say they already know where who's gone.

This is going to be an organized search. You'll only know if it's a Knights of Peace member who's on Wang Du's guard, or maybe its superior organization, but it seems Chiffon has somehow got the information they hold of.

You read the look on Lulu's face, Chiffon said.

"My specialty as an adventurer is information. There's a lot of fighting power, but that's just for now."

Originally she was a woman, and because she didn't have that much magic, it seems to be the result of her quest for help outside of combat.

In the beginning, they were doing things in detail, like surveying demonic habitats, catching animals, but while they were doing that, they gradually became able to handle a large amount of information, and this is how they could do it as adventurers specializing in information.

She also said that there were few requests to collect ingredients for the dishes, which she had acquired as she gathered information for them.

The tavern was also an informer. It seems to have started when Gran called me to try it.

Her reputation has inspired her reputation, and now she is the King's Capital Fingerfold Tavern, but I guess her essence is an adventurer around saying it's coming.

Lulu still feels pretty certain about the fighting power that Chiffon would humble.

I'm sure there's a lot of information I can gather because she's like that, and I prayed that there was something in it that would tell me about Ortes' whereabouts.

Lulu asks Chiffon.

"Actually, we have a lot going on, and we're looking for the whereabouts of one of those missing persons, intermediate adventurer Ortes-Najoire. Where have you been...... don't you see what I can do?

Then Chiffon,

"Is it Ortes-Najoire? Sure, he's one of the missing persons. I live in Wangdu Desierto, my profession is an adventurer, my rank is intermediate middle class, my family consists of one mother and one sister...... you seem to have lost track of the news since I left the Wind Ringing Pavilion, one of Wangdu's taverns last night ~. There are a few street lights standing around there, but there are basically few people in the street, so searching for witnesses can be tough. Perhaps it would be quicker to follow the footsteps of other adventurers, assuming that all those who no longer understand this message have been abducted by the same person/organization."

And he even said in one breath, leave me to myself about the information investigation.

That's just how much information Lulu asked me if I could just let a person who's eating rice for a story do their job.

"Lend it to me once, so please ~"

And she smiled and said, so I didn't have to pay the price.

Somehow, I felt that it might have gone higher than paying for it, but I lost that smile and Lulu withdrew crying.

Then he asked me why I would go so far to follow Ortez's news, so I was convinced to talk to him about Ortez's encounter with his sister, Claire.

"I see. Iris, are you in competition?

He said something I don't know about, etc.

Said Illis,

"... I'll do my best"

So he was holding his fist, and Lulu was tilting his neck and staring at the exchange.
