After a day, permission was given by the Norns.

Naturally, it is monitored by the Knight Mr./Ms. of Miarak, but it must be accepted because it is a measure to allow the demon lords to walk outside.

 

"Please......! Don't cause ...... trouble! Even if I do, please don't wake me up ...... you!"

 

Mr./Ms. Leona, who came to give me an answer, gave me very serious advice, but of course I will keep it firm.

 

"Senior, what is your equipment?"

"I've got a sword with me, and I'll be able to deal with anything no matter what."

 

We wait for the Demon King to come in front of the inn.

It has been assimilated with Ferm beforehand, and the owl-like Nea stays in its usual position on the shoulder.

 

"I've got to be an escort."

"I don't think you need to be so uptight, because there are no other people who can harm the Demon Lord than you."

"You're an escort, aren't you......?"

 

The scabbard of the sword is slammed into Koga's head.

As Koga struggled with pain, perhaps it was a moderate shock, Mr./Ms. Amira sighed in dismay.

 

Why don't we emulate them a little?"

"No, what are you doing all of a sudden?"

"Even if the possibility of fighting is low, it is important to protect the Demon Lord, isn't it enough self-awareness?"

 

Mr./Ms. Amira seemed serious and relieved.

…… Well, considering the abilities of the three other people, it seems that they can usually manage no matter who comes.

And there's also a demon lord who is too much.

While he was thinking about it, the Demon King and his follower Mr./Ms. came from the open door of the inn.

The Demon Lord's attire is black top and bottom, and he wears a kind of furry coat over his shoulders.

 

"You look like a mafia boss."

"yes, you have a really bad aura......

 

Speak quietly and talk to your seniors.

Quite noticeable to be honest.

It's also conspicuous, and above all, it's unnecessarily intimidating just to be there.

 

"Now, let's go to the training ground we talked about."

"No, why......

"Hmm? It's because there are a lot of people's eyes, right?"

 

After all, this person is too free.

With that in mind, I followed the Demon King who was walking ahead.

 

●

 

As expected, there was quite a bit of attention along the way.

Brown skin on horns different from humans.

It looks eye-catching on its own, but on top of that, there's a demon lord who always gives off a boss aura.

In fact, it even seems strange that it doesn't attract attention.

 

"That's the rumored demon king......

"It's horrible...... Even at this distance, the pressure is transmitted.'

"I'm scared of ...... face"

 

Naturally, such voices can be heard.

Representatives from various countries began to gather in earnest yesterday, and many people began to be seen on the road, which was not as popular as two days ago.

Almost all of the people who pass by are escorts or representatives of some country.

 

"I'm with the hero of the Ringle Kingdom...... Who's that?'

"That's it, that's it, the healing wizard of the Rescue Corps. You're dressed in white, aren't you?'

"Is the rumored healing wizard ...... such a boy?"

 

Those of us who are with the Demon Lords are also being watched to some extent, but it doesn't bother us.

Or rather, I don't care at all because I'm used to it.

 

"It seems that on the battlefield, he rode on the back of a demon and defeated the demon tribes."

"You threatened the leaders of the Demon King's army and stunned them......

"I heard that you fought a snake that was bigger than a building!"

 

　……。

 

"Heh, a rumor that has no roots and no leaves...... How can you say that as if it were true?"

"It's all true, isn't it?"

"Koga, I'm not threatening Mr./Ms. Hannah. She just mistook me for the devil."

"It's your fault either way, ......?"

 

Mainly because of Nair and Ferm.

This is absolutely non-negotiable.

In the meantime, I stepped into the venue of the training ground.

 

"Oh."

 

The voice of a senior who raised a somewhat lively voice.

What opened my field of vision was the sight of soldiers and guards wearing a wide variety of equipment in the training ground, conducting their own training and mock battles.

The scenery itself seemed to be different from the training ground when it was not popular.

 

"Isn't it still there?"

「…… What happened? Demon Lord."

"No, don't worry about it."

 

For the time being, he suppresses the urge to enter the training ground and talks to the demon lord who is conversing with Ciel Mr./Ms..

The Demon King really has a strong presence, so before he knows it, he is attracting the attention of the people who seem to be representatives sitting in the venue.

Some of them are suspicious and wary.

 

"Demon Lord, what are you going to do now?"

"First of all, let's see how those here react...... Hmm, Koga, Usato. Let's fight lightly underneath."

"Isn't the command too simple......?"

 

Koga starts to wiggle his arms around and asks the Demon Lord for an explanation, and he grins.

 

"The Demon Tribe will be unfamiliar to those here, so let's have Koga fight first and see how he reacts."

"Why do I have to fight......

"That's how I feel."

 

This person has a really good personality, ......!

I sigh as I speak to the Ferm within me.

 

"Ferm, unravel the assimilation."

"Are you sure?"

"Oh, I'm just going to put my hands together lightly, so I'm the only one...... Nair too."

"Huh."

 

Ferm, who unravels her assimilation and emerges from my body, and Nea, who transforms from an owl to a dark-haired, red-eyed girl.

There, he realized that he had done something even more complicated, and involuntarily pressed his forehead.

 

「…… Darn it. Moving away from being treated as a human being."

"Cheer up, Usato-kun, we'll be watching you here."

「…… Yes."

 

After being comforted by my seniors, Koga and I descended the stairs to the training ground.

When you enter the training ground, you will immediately attract the attention of the knights and soldiers of the surrounding countries.

 

"I feel like a panda......

"Ignore the eyes around you, let's do as the Demon King orders."

 

If it's a light hand-to-hand match, you don't have to unfold the gauntlet.

I moved to a rectangular field separated by a white line, straightened the collar of my uniform, and held a lightly clenched fist.

 

"It's just a light hand-to-hand at first, without magic."

"I know...... Why don't you remove the spell on your left arm as well?"

"I don't want to be used as an excuse, so I can keep my left arm."

 

I didn't care about it until now, but Koga lost his left arm in a fight with Kazuki.

However, this guy is strong as he soon uses dark magic to create his left arm and use it in even more nasty ways.

Do some light preparatory exercises, take a deep breath and then face the koga.

 

"Hmmm!"

"Ahh

 

Without a signal, a fist was thrown out from both me and Koga.

While hesitating with his right fist, he also attacks while instantly returning his fist.

 

"Ha! After all, I have to be like this with you!!"

"I'm tired of dealing with you!"

 

While throwing fists and kicks, they engage in a fight with no magic or anything.

Koga's fist is intercepted with crossed arms, and Koga dodges the kick I slammed into him, flying to the side while deflecting the impact.

To be honest, it was the first time other than Rose had ever had a mock fist fight.

 

"Hey...... What's that?'

"Didn't you say that the demon tribe is stronger than humans......?"

"I can hear the sound of a terrible blow......

"Is that the Ringle Kingdom, the Healing Wizard......?"

 

While making a thud, thud, thud, and bang sound that you can't think of from the human body, our hands accelerate.

I was always beaten and blown away and beaten repeatedly, but I thought it was fun to fight evenly like this.

 

"But I'm not going to let it go! Whew!!"

"Swuh!?"

 

He catches his fist with his forehead and slams his fist into his defenseless belly.

Koga, who withstood the attack, leaped on the spot -- and hit a powerful side kick.

 

"Shhhh

 

A shock ...... that resonates to the core!

I put my left hand on his defensive right arm, grabbed his leg and swung it wide with one hand.

 

"Olaa!"

"Oooh!?"

 

Thrown away with only one arm, Koga changes position in mid-air and lands on the ground.

 

"Whew, I can't win without magic."

"No, it's better to use healing magic."

"You're better at applying magic than healing magic."

 

It's a mess.

However, it is also a part that I am aware of, so I will not react badly.

 

"So, are you going to use some magic lightly next time?"

"Oh."

 

It's like doing it step by step.

I activated my healing magic and instantly recovered from my fatigue and injuries, and I poised again.

When I was about to call out to Koga that the mock battle was about to resume, I noticed that Koga's expression, which had been looking behind me, had changed to astonishment.

 

"Usato!"

「……!」

 

―――Something is approaching from behind.

Instantly, he turned around and tried to intercept it with his magic in his arms, but before he could do so, Koga created a wall of dark magic from his palm.

Beey! and the piercing sound of electric shocks colliding and bouncing on the ground.

Koga, who had blocked some kind of attack and erased the dark magic wall, grinned and pointed his index finger at me.

 

"I lend you one."

"I could have prevented it by myself."

"Well, that means I was faster."

 

…… Or rather, who released this to us?

It was clearly directed at us.

As he joins Koga, who is approaching him, he notices a man approaching the scene.

Blonde hair grown to the length of the shoulder blades.

In the hands of a man dressed in dark clothes resembling a military uniform, he held a combat spear that was not intended for training.

 

"Teme, what are you going to do all of a sudden?"

"No, I'm sorry, I just got my hands on it."

"Huh?"

 

It's nice that my hands are crazy, but I don't feel like I'm being apologized for at all.

 

"But you don't have to do anything to prevent my electric shock, as you would expect from a demon tribe and a humanoid."

 

Koga is more confused than angry by the blonde man who suddenly rudes to her at the first meeting.

When he saw the man who looked sullen, he quietly spoke to me.

 

「…… Hey, Usato. What the hell is this? Are you trying to get into a fight?"

"Apparently he wants to make you angry."

"I can't cause trouble here, so ignore it, ignore it."

 

That's the best way to do it.

Nodding and trying to get away from this troublesome-looking person, the man points the tip of his spear at Koga before he can do so.

 

"Hey, you, why don't you play a game with me?"

「…… Huh? Why?"

"I've always wanted to know what the Demon Clan is like."

 

What are you really talking about?

Here, there is nothing good for the other party if you do this, ......!?

Don't you know that there are a lot of people around Mr./Ms.!?

 

"Hmm, you don't even intend to play a straight game, after all, the Demon Race is a lowly race."

 

Is it subhuman discrimination?

I've never seen it so explicit.

I'm glad Mr./Ms. and the others weren't here.

They didn't approach the man in front of them.

 

"Who are you, anyway?"

"Oh, you don't even know who I am when you see this armband?"

「…… yes."

 

The leader in my brain whispers to me to hit this guy from now on.

I hold it back with reason and wait for him to come forward.

 

"I'm Lignus Helmline, Commander of the Knights of the Knights of the Kingdom of Verinas."

"Alright, Lord Helmline, I am Usato Ken, who has been sent by the Lingle Kingdom to serve as the Demon Lord's bodyguard and guard."

"Hun, Ringle Kingdom?"

 

I'm going to take it easy here, I'm going to take it easy.

If this was a back alley, he would be able to crush his vision with a healing eye smash and then stun him, but not here.

While being aware of Mr./Ms.'s tone, respond as much as possible so as not to spoil the other person's mood.

 

"Are you aware that your words and actions are a little disrespectful?"

"No? Isn't this enough to deal with a defeated country that invaded something it couldn't do? Rather, why would you, who were fighting just a few moments ago, protect the Demon Clan?"

"I'm not going to bring my personal feelings into the mission...... Does that mean that you are here, and that is the representative of the kingdom of Velinas here?"

"Oh, over there."

 

Lignus's gaze turned to an old man surrounded by guards sitting in the audience.

He is staring at me, giving me an eerie impression.

 

"More than that, why are you talking about it, it doesn't matter what happens to the Demon Clan from the Ringle Kingdom's point of view."

「…… The Demon Tribe is also one of the participating countries in this meeting. There are rumors of hostility, but I ...... think it's okay to discriminate openly."

"What are you? Are you on the side of the Demon Tribe?"

 

Doesn't this person understand ...... language?

Or do you have cotton stuck in your ears?

　……。

No, this conversation has its own meaning.

As long as there are people around you listening, it is the domineering other side who is in a bad position.

 

「…… It seems that when we are there, we will be a nuisance to those around us. We're going back here."

"Hey, I have an errand for the demon tribe there, don't leave without permission."

 

Ignoring Lignace's words, we head towards the stairs leading upstairs.

Are you prepared for such an arbitrary request?

 

"Haha, I see, you demon tribe are going to run away from the battle with me!"

 

But he uttered these words louder than he did.

As we stop in our tracks, Lignus continues to call out.

 

"It seems to be different from what I heard in rumors, I heard that the demon tribe has more power than humans, but apparently it is not even that, it is just a monkey that is less than human!"

 

Alas, things got even more troubling.

Lignus was more involved.
