Chiyu Mahou no Machigatta Tsukaikata ~Senjou wo Kakeru Kaifuku Youin~

After spending about two weeks exploring, I returned to Verhazar.

Greeted by the people of the city, we were temporarily disbanded, and I went with Koga to the former Demon King Castle where the Demon King was...

I am more or less prepared to be reprimanded, so when I report to the Demon King with a little nervousness what happened in the Monster Realm ---,

Maybe you're trying to laugh and kill me?

The exact opposite of what I expected came flying.

The Demon King laughed with a sneer and opened his mouth to me and Koga while depositing his back on the chair.

"It doesn't matter that my power has been taken away." From what I've heard, it's almost like I've used up all the magic I've contained. You shouldn't be able to handle it properly for a while. "

Can you use it again after a while?

It's going to take quite a while.

Sure enough, I kept using the demon king's magic power to defeat Kayla, and that demon king's fragments were almost losing their power.

The mission may have been accomplished in the sense of neutralizing it.

"... but even if my strength is exhausted, I can use it as a receptacle (...)." We also have to think about the possibility. "

"What does that mean..."

"It is possible that it was the enemy's plan to defeat the devil you ran out on."

"It's not impossible..."

Kayla was in a state of mental confusion, and it wasn't surprising that she had some kind of mental attack on Shia.

... although I don't really want to think about it.

"The very existence of the mixed race of demons and elves with dark magic is surprising." A demonic race possessed of dark magic that was probably persecuted fled to the realm of monsters, and eventually appeared as a result of coexisting with the elves living deep in the forest. So, what did that girl and you do? "

"...... We fought together to make you a tiny lion."

"Koga"

"Don't lie to me, Rasat. The acceleration that detonated the dark magic flame made me fly."

Groaning at Koga who corrected it from the side.

Shell, the demon king's maid who had heard his supplements, spoke to the demon king in a small voice.

"Demon King, what's accelerating the flame?" I don't know what that means..... "

"Sheil. Imagine that. If you hold the gunpowder and blow it up, it'll blow up, right?"

"Um......"

How many times do I have to look at you like that, Ms. Shell?

Finally, we need to think about advancing our plan to keep the Dark Wizard in your custody.

You're kidding, right?

"I'm not kidding anymore." There were fewer of them than before, but there were still many who avoided the Dark Wizard. We need an organization or a place to be their receptacle.

... eh, are you sure you're not thinking about this?

I was also a little impatient with the Demon King, who was normally thinking seriously.

"Either way, for the time being." You still have too much work to do. "

"... that's right."

There is a lot to do.

That's true.

"I'll change my story again..."

The Demon King's gaze turned to my right arm.

Exactly what I lost in the cage.

"Did they take your hand?" Someone like you? "

With the enhancement of the light magic system, right?

Then I'm glad you're done with the cage.

That's what I think now.

If it was my healing magic or something more serious, it would be a big deal.

... maybe I just couldn't because Shia's system enhancements were incomplete.

Is there any obstacle to being robbed of your hand?

No.

I think so.

What was so funny was that the Demon King sat down deeply on the chair with a smile in his mouth.

"From the beginning, the essence of the Divine Dragon's weapon is to" promote the growth "of the possessor." Eventually, it's no longer needed, it's just a handy weapon. "

"When Farga-sama asked, she seemed angry..."

"Rather, he will laugh." It also proves that humans can progress on their own without relying on the power of the Divine Dragon. "

Is there such a way of thinking?

I wonder if Kazuki's cage hand, senior's sword, and Leona's spear were the same.

Anything can be done without weapons ---that is, ahead of the possible.

But if someone in Shea Garmio wanted your hand, he probably needed a weapon to aid his light magic.

Relatively speaking, she didn't feel so high on her own. Even the system enhancement... was like being forced to activate it..."

"Should I say that Shia Garmio itself is unfinished? I just hope that the finished form is not something out of the ordinary like a ladybug....."

Shia's system enhancements remained incomplete.

I still remember her bleeding from her injured arm because she was forced to strengthen her system.

Can you pull back the presence that is manipulating Shia?

I can't say anything at the moment.

The demon king answers my question.

"I can't imitate something (...) that I had unconditionally possessed no matter how much." The first thing we need to do is catch them. "

"... I see."

I should have caught Shia at that time...?

No, that could have killed her.

... you shouldn't just think about what would happen.

"Let's check the report again for the child fraction."

Roger that.

"Hmm? No, I'll leave the report to your assistant, Hannah." Didn't you hear? "

Is that so?

It would be helpful if you told me, but Hannah can also say a word.

"But I and Korga can write a report, too...?"

"No, I'm not good at reports."

I'm only wondering why you were the 2nd Corps Commander...?

Could it be that he left it to his subordinates...?

"You guys should take a little rest." Especially Rabbit, you know that even if you take away your physical condition with healing magic, you're still tired. "

"... do you understand?"

"Who do you think I am?"

You're the Demon King, aren't you?

Indeed he is right. I am also quite tired. [M]

I barely had time to rest during my exploration. Also, I was nervous as a deputy captain to take care of the squad.

"... then I will give you a generous rest."

Umu

Let's use Mr. Alk's quarters today.

As expected, I didn't feel comfortable interrupting Koga's room.

...... before that, there was something I wanted to ask of the Demon King.

Demon King, I have a favor to ask you.

What?

"I need you to prepare a coffin to store the recovered body..."

That's exactly what I need to check.

I'm sorry to keep you in Keira's cloak for so long, but I need a place to put Aur's colleagues away until we get back to the Kingdom of the Rings.

Then I'll arrange it for you.

The Demon King, who understood the situation, sent a message to Ms. Shell.

After doing a few checks, Koga and I left the office where the Demon King was.

When I left the hall where the Demon King was, there were Keira, Amako, Nea... and Senri-sama at the entrance.

Probably flew in literally to hear about our return. [M]

When she found Korga, she jumped at Korga with a smile on her face.

Koga-san!

"Dangerous Koga! Healing Guard!"

"Rabbit, you bastard!? Auntie!?"

I grabbed Koga's shoulder, trying to escape immediately, and moved it into Senri-sama's leaping orbit.

As I watched her embrace him, I approached Amako and the others.

"I'm sorry, I kept you waiting."

"No, it's okay."

Where are Nagi-san?

"I had my luggage carried to the dormitory first. I've been waiting for rabbits here."

You were unloading your regular stuff from Keira's cloak first.

It would have been quite a lot, but Nagi-san's power would have made it easier.

So, how was your report to the Demon King?

"For the time being, they laughed."

I think so.

It's weird not to laugh.

This is how Amako and Nea reacted.

Keira spoke to Nea, who was transformed into an owl, as she sat on her shoulder.

Keira, I've got a coffin for the demon king, so let's put the body in there.

Yes, I understand.

"...... I'm sorry. I'll do anything to get you to carry it."

Even though it's been treated like a doll with some special magic, it's carrying a body.

Keira did not show any dissatisfaction, but instead shook her head to the side with a smile.

"There's nothing Mr. Usato can apologize for." I'm fine. "

"You're strong. You're strong."

"You're really solid, girl."

"Ehehe"

Amako poked Keira's head.

Also, while looking at her with her eyes narrowed to feel good, she turned to Koga, who was held by Senri-sama.

"Welcome back, Mr. Koga!" I've been thinking about your return for a whole day and a thousand years...!! "

"It's only been two weeks!?"

"Are you married for this crime of keeping me waiting?"

"The punishment for sin is too heavy...!!"

Full throttle.

Koga laughed bitterly as he tried to tear Senri-sama apart.

Usuat-san, welcome back!

"Yes, I just returned." Has anything changed while we were away? "

Well, if there was a demon king, I knew there wasn't a lot of commotion.

I see. I helped the demons with Lingul Nirvana's dispatched personnel.

"Is that so?" Maybe Uluru-san too? "

"Yes, she also took the initiative to interact with the demons." Fufufu, I've become your friend. "

You still have the terrible power of comus to be friends with royalty... Uluru-san.

But I'm glad she looks well, too.

I'm going to stay in the dormitory where Alk and the others are staying today, so I think I can hear a lot from Uluru.

"Well then, we have something to do in the future, so..."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You're leaving me in this situation?"

Sentinel-sama had his arm firmly restrained... and Koga, who was hugged, came to me for help.

I can shake it off if I feel like it... but it's not honest.

No, no... I can't do anything about it even if I break it in here...

"Stop being a common sense person only at this time!! Always do something strange to me!!"

Such a foolish person.

When it blows, even if you interrupt between Senri-sama and Koga here, Senri-sama will normally get rough. At the end, Koga will only suffer badly, so I think it is the right answer to make her want to be honest.

That said, I waved my hand at Koga and Senri-sama and left the scene.
