Located at the very top of the northern wall of Lixel. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Led by Alice, we passed through the busy city walls of the city with many guards and adventurers, and came to the top of the city with the most open view, where we were in a certain room.

"Sorry...... Sister Felicia, Alice was caught by Uncle Bones while handing out food. ”

"Yes, Alice, you don't have to apologize, let's go get some rest. ”

After hearing the voice of the werewolf Lori, Ah Shu, who was standing at the window, turned his head and smiled softly at Alice.

Then, looking very tired, she continued to look at the plains beyond the northern walls.

"I said Ah Shu, you guy, you are really, you would rather entrust the Adventurer's Guild to make such a big move than ask us for help, is there anything you want to explain now?"

I stood at the door and said to Ah Shu, who took advantage of the geographical advantage to look at the movement in the distance.

"Explain? No. ”

I don't know if it's because of her injury, but at this moment, she changed into the gray-blue mage robe she usually wears.

It is not covered by clothing, and there are less visible scars on the exposed skin.

His long silver-white hair was tied in a neat ponytail, he was dressed in simple leather armor and cloak that was common among adventurers, and in his right hand he held a staff inlaid with a high-grade magic crystal, shining with the afterglow of magical power.

Slightly cold, his face was furrowed, and his eyes looked at the lake in the distance calmly without saying a word.

Now she looks like a battle-hardened general, this is the confidence of the so-called strong.

"Something is wrong with Anya...... No, these are all excuses, and it is indeed a mistake of the concubine body to become that form. It is not an existence that we can fight against, but can only be counterbalanced by other means. ”

"Is your relationship so bad that you let the adventurers crusade against her?"

"It's not that simple for her...... Now she can only choose to believe her, but if it really develops to a stage of no return, only complete death can calm her down. ”

Without turning his head, Ah Shu said this in a calm manner, in a tone like he wanted to eat a vegetarian meal for dinner.

It's really that serious......

But that's not the answer I want to know.

"But since you used your previous identity to rally adventurers, you are now the commander of this collective mission. Even if those Death Lords lose their eyes, it is impossible that they will not be able to discover your true identity. ”

This is the crux of the matter, and it is impossible for Ah Shu, who fought with Spandam not long ago because of something similar, not to think of it.

Her identity as an adventurer is legendary.

And the current Death Lords were all subordinates of the previous King of the Undead, and in a sense, it can be said that Ah Shu is a colleague, and it should be impossible not to know that she is the powerful adventurer who once caused a sensation in the Demon Realm.

To my question, Ah Shu nodded.

"Well, this is very clear about the concubine body. If they're safe and sound now, they should be discovered. ”

Turning around, Ah Shu looked at us cautiously while saying lines of unknown meaning.

"You've all done well during this time, especially you, Skull. No, Eshuin, I didn't expect you to get to this point, now it's a problem left over from the previous generation, although I don't want to admit it, but the time of the lord has passed. ”

Yes, what does it mean?

Ignoring Alice and I, who were speechless by the sudden change of kindness, she walked over to the conference table in the room and sat down.

Then, she showed a serious expression:

"Anya's matter will be resolved by the concubine. Finally, I have something to ask you, Eseiin, to leave the Demon Realm with Alice and Spandam, at least the Undead Division. You've always been dissatisfied with your status as the heir to the monarchy, and now you're free. ”

Talking about other people's affairs calmly, like life and death.

What the hell are you talking about, why did it suddenly develop like this......

The Ah Shu, who would be furious as long as I showed a little slackness, suddenly said such lines so kindly.

Seeing that Ah Shu said this kind of thing without a trace of wavering-

"Sister Felipino and Felicia...... What the hell are you talking about! If it's difficult, let's just figure it out together, nay, Uncle Bones often comes up with bad ideas, but it's actually unexpectedly useful, isn't it?"

Alice noticed something, and hurried to Ashio, grabbing her cloak tightly.

Faced with such Alice, Ah Shu touched her forehead dotingly.

"This opponent is not an ordinary method that can be solved, if it is not handled perfectly, it may be the whole of Rixel...... No, it might turn out to be a state of affairs where the undead partition would be destroyed. Adventurers alone can't solve Anya after losing her limit, and now I am the only one in this city who can destroy her, which is the responsibility of the soul creator. ”

After saying that.

She hugged Alice from behind affectionately, and raised the staff in her hand slightly.

"Potent.hypnosis"

After muttering something in a faint arc at the corner of her mouth, a silver-white magic array appeared at Alice's feet.

Alice seemed to have thought of something after seeing the magic array, and she wanted to break out of her arms fiercely, but after all, it was the magic released by a mage of Ah Shu's level, and she fell asleep after resisting for only a few seconds.

Hypnotism that has been tried and tested in critical situations......

"Then I'll leave it to you, this is a spell scroll that can teleport back to the Undead Fortress. The spatial seal set up by Lord Raymond should have expired, whether it is to go to the mainland or other demon realm divisions, it is up to you. ”

Looking at Alice who fell into a deep sleep wordlessly, Ah Shu gently stroked her hair.

Then, as if prepared, she placed one of the paper scrolls pinned to her belt on the conference table.

"The Karakuri clan who has been communicating with you frequently recently, the concubine can't see through his strength, he must be quite a powerful powerhouse. Although I don't know how you met, you seem to have a good relationship, and it is a good choice to join him. ”

“…… You've found out, you're not going to have some surveillance near me, are you?"

For my question, instead of being embarrassed at all, Ah Shu nodded as a matter of course.

This guy doesn't even deny it.

"Although there is magic for surveillance, don't worry, Ai Xiuin, every time you are in the bed, you will secretly pull your pants and sigh while watching, and there is always a ...... to go to the toilet when you don't need it."

"Hey, bastard! I don't want to know what you're seeing, so don't say any more!"

After a pause, Ah Shu looked at him silently with a look of disdain [I really don't know what you're panicking about].

Am I the only one in the other world who thinks privacy is important?

"The Karakuri knows about it, too, but he doesn't seem to mind, except that he cuts off the surveillance magic when you talk about things outside of the mundane. can easily invalidate the spell arranged by the concubine's body, I really don't know how you would know such a strong person. ”

"I also have a private life, do I know one or two brave people and other characters to tell you?"

Listening to my stubbornness, she seemed to be interested, but did not ask any more questions.

After sighing slightly-

"Indeed, Eshuin's life has nothing to do with your concubine body. And you have been looking forward to this day for a long time, when you get out of this room, the concubine will no longer be your watchdog, and you will have nothing to do with the lord in the future, and you can live freely. ”

It's the first time I've seen it, and Ah Shu's cold face showed a forced smile as if he was treating a friend.
