After finishing the exercise, I immediately returned to the city and immediately went to the Demon Lord.
Perhaps the incident involving Hisago Mr./Ms. the Demon King could not be overlooked, so after first telling Ciel Mr./Ms. what to do, I was immediately sent to the office where the Demon King was.
「…… It's not that I didn't expect it, but that idiot seems to have done something extra."
When the Demon King heard about Shea, he had a bitter expression on his face, which was unusual for him.
"Is it a daughter who has been implanted with Hisago's memories and magic, although I thought she was suspicious at the time of Mialak...... Well, well, you attract that kind of thing."
「…… Did you think it was suspicious?"
「? Have you ever had a decent person to deal with?"
Calm down, calm down.
There's no point in hitting the Demon King now......!
"It's easier for you to deal with it if you take the initiative to get involved before something happens that I don't know about.
I'm not happy at all about being evaluated like that......
Reluctantly, I put the crystal I had stored in my pocket on the table in front of the Demon King.
"This is your power that you have been sealed."
"Oh, you did a good job, except for me, you're the only one who is safe in that poisonous realm with healing magic."
"Then wouldn't it have been nice to have Mr./Ms. Nero?" He'll be able to blow away the poisonous miasma."
"He's too strong, considering our Demon Clan's position, we shouldn't move carelessly."
That's what I mean. Certainly, Mr./Ms. Nero is too strong, and it is not surprising that humans are suspicious.
The Demon King picks up the crystal in which the fragment of the Demon King's power is trapped, and throws it into the circle of light created by magic without looking at it with particular emotion.
"Don't you have a hard time with your own power?"
"No, any more power will only lead to confusion. It has been agreed that my power will be strictly controlled by Farga and I."
"If that's the case, I don't have anything to say."
If this person says Farga-sama, it must be so.
In the first place, even at this point, the Demon King is too strong enough.
"At present, you have reported that your power is one that I have secured, one that Sia has taken and one that the demon has secured...... Is it safe to assume that all the power in the Demon Lord's Territory has been recovered?"
"Well, not exactly."
"Isn'......?"
But ...... Mr./Ms. Owl was indeed secured by Shea and the demon side.
"It's not wrong that Sia Garmio has it, but it's different when it comes to the devil's side."
"What does that mean? I thought the devil was using or taking advantage of your power......"
"Did the devil secure my power? No, that's not true. It's too much to be true."
Do you have too much?
"Even if the demon absorbs my power, it will be devoured from the inside."
"Isn't your power too noisy......?"
"It's me, isn't it?"
Even if you don't say it so proudly.
It's one thing to prove that there is no better proof.
"I know where the remaining fragments are that the demons have."
If you say you know, it means you already know the location.
If you don't go to collect it right away, it's a place that can't be easily entered, just like the poisonous area.
…… If that is the case.
"Is it the realm of demons?"
"That's right, if I take it back from the Demon, it will remove all the fragments of my power that are affecting the Demon Lord's Realm."
"Isn't that too much of a responsibility?"
He said this in dismay, and the Demon King grinned.
"You've done so much to me, and that's all you have to do."
"Well, I'll do my best......"
I'm not going to say no here, though.
Well, I guess you could say that this is also trusted.
"I'm going to have you continue to prepare for the Demon Realm, but there's a good chance you'll also encounter Shea Garmio, the daughter of Hisago's memory."
"Does that mean she's asking for your help?"
"I don't know what you think, but it would be helpful if you could just make it disappear and save me the trouble...... I can't help but feel a bad smell around her."
"Honestly, I agree."
If it's an unfortunate accident, I can't say anything, but there is something wrong with Shea's situation, as if it was contrived.
I don't know what it is.
But what happened to her was not a coincidence, but something that was made up of someone's intentions...... I'm going to take my anger out on the guy who tried to do it.
"It seems that Sia's hometown is Kamherio."
"Then it's a country with people who do the ridiculous thing of cult of the brave. Anything can happen."
When I return from the Demon Lord's Domain, should I go to Calmhelio?
If I could save Shea, I might have to send her back to her family.
…… No, let's focus on the Demon Realm for now.
"Naturally, I'll let Farga share this information with me, and Usato."
"Yes?"
"Is it possible to communicate with the Beastman Nation?"
I nodded in response to the Demon Lord's question.
"Yes, I have already made a familiarity contract with Mr./Ms. Hayate, the head of the Beast Tribe, and I think he will come as soon as you call him."
"You're really useful."
"Oh, but it's not a public thing, it's an individual thing between friends, so please be careful about that, right?"
「…… No, I won't say anything."
For some reason, I was dumbfounded.
The demon king continues to talk to me when I feel unexplained.
"Call Kannagi here through the chief, and tell him about Sia Garmio."
「…… I get it."
Nagi, who was the closest person to Hisago Mr./Ms.Mr./Ms. might be able to help Shea in an unstable state.
Besides, Mr./Ms. Nagi wouldn't be able to get out of the demon realm, and above all, there would be no problem as a fighting force.
"Is Shea okay?"
"I don't think there's anything to worry about at the moment, memories are just memories. I'm worried that his ego will be unstable, but it's unlikely that Sia Garmio will become Hisago himself."
But I'm worried about her becoming unstable.
Originally, she was a girl who didn't even know how to fight. I want to do something about her situation as soon as possible.
Thinking about it, I sigh lightly.
"You look very tired."
"I was too nervous, and I fought the demons and the Owl Mr./Ms. and consumed a lot of magic power."
"I was struggling to hold back my laughter when I heard your big fight, didn't I?"
"I guess ......."
This person was smirking while he was reporting.
Anyway, when I get home, I'll take a shower and go to bed.
The fatigue of my subordinates is considerable, so I will take the training off tomorrow...... Well, yes.
"Demon Lord, there is something I want you to find out about the dark wizard."
"Are you going to adopt him?"
"No, it's not...... It's about the twin dark wizards I fought."
"Oh, that's it."
Why am I supposed to adopt a child in this way?
No way, the story of leaving the child of the former dark wizard is moving behind the scenes......?
"Maybe there are other people besides those twins who are using the corpses, not just dark wizards......
"Certainly, but there are times when I am alive before I wake up from the seal. The truth or falsehood will be uncertain, but I'll look into it for the time being."
If you know some information in advance, it's easier to take measures.
The twins' dark magic was nasty when used well.
"Usato"
"Yes?"
As if he had finished speaking, the demon lord with his arms crossed and his back to the backrest looked at me with a smile.
"Are you aware that there are foreign objects in the demon tribe you are training?"
「…… If you're aware of it, please tell me."
"There was no hostility, I let them swim."
The foreign object that the Demon King is referring to must be Mr./Ms. Veena.
"I have a vague idea of who it is...... However, it wasn't until the end of the exercise that I fully realized it."
She had mastered and shown her magical senses, and she used it to keep track of my position.
So much so that it spreads its magic power over a wider area than I do.
But as soon as I stepped into her magical realm——— I sensed a similar sense of the demon's deceptive magic.
"Among the former members of the First Legion was a demon named Vina, who left the city after the war...... Above all, this Veena is a man. I'm sure it's not him."
"Should I catch you?"
"In some cases, I suppose they snuck in for reconnaissance......
The Demon King puts his hand on his chin as if he is worried.
"The demon race hates each other, and I don't think they have the right information."
When I used Kayla as a shield, she didn't even pretend to come to her rescue.
They may only be thinking about using each other.
"Hmm...... I'll leave it to you first."
"Yes......."
"The fact that I'm here to be your subordinate means a lot, and depending on the content, you might be able to pull me in, right?"
"It's not that easy......
"You're good at that, aren't you?"
I don't know what it is, but I feel like I've been misunderstood by the Demon Lord.
But...... Can't help it.
After taking a break for the time being, I will call Mr./Ms. Vina to see what she really means.
"Hah, there's so much to ......."
Exploration of the realm of demons.
Retrieval of the Demon Lord's Fragments.
To rescue Shea.
And the contact with Mr./Ms. Veena, who just increased.
It's going to be tough for all of them, but we have no choice but to solve them.

The Demon King was aware that Vina had a troublesome personality.
It seemed troublesome, so I threw it to Usato.
