Without any intention of taking her eyes off the magic book on her lap, Patchouli rubbed her fingertips on the footer and asked casually:

"Quite a rare guest. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"I—I'm here to ask for your help!"

After saying such things with all his might, I found that I almost didn't have the strength to speak.

“…… Let's change places. ”

After saying this, I saw Pacully's fingers shake slightly, and then, a huge magic array of light suddenly rose from the floor, enveloping the two of them in an instant.

I don't know if it's due to exhaustion, or the strange effect of this light, Jue only felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and he gradually lost consciousness.

When I came to my senses, I found that the decorations around me had completely changed, and I was completely filled with the smell of Japanese wind.

Here it is...... Forever Pavilion? ’

"What do you want me to help you?"

After Jue's eyes adjusted slightly to the brightness of the room, Pache who was sitting on the bench next to the bed, still looking at the thick book, asked again:

Although I don't know how long I've been in a coma, as soon as I think of what the Great Demon King might do, I forcibly stopped my desire to ask about the current situation, and after organizing the wording a little, I couldn't wait to speak:

"I met a man underground, how can I say it, it's quite a wonderful 'person'."

Nodding, Patchouli gestured that she was listening.

"He seems to have a rather legendary, complex, interesting experience, which definitely attracted me and made it impossible to take my eyes off him......"

"If it's a relationship consultation, please pay for the healing and teleportation of magic here, and then leave on your own."

Seeing that Patchouli was a little impatient, Jue quickly explained:

"No, though I have a slight affection for him—" Seeing that Pache had already picked up the book, he felt quickened to speak, "In the process of spending time with him, I discovered something terrible about the fate of the old hell!" ”

"Oh."

Seeing that Patchouli finally became a little interested, Jue sorted out his thoughts slightly before continuing:

"He came to the Old Hell three years ago, and since then, there has been no doubt that some kind of change has taken place in the Old Hell of the Old Hell."

"Are prices rising? That's because the old hell held a lot of gold reserves that hit the market—"

"I know the simple economic principle! I mean, what's hidden beneath that! ”

"What's next?" Patchouli tilted her head a little puzzled, causing her fluffy white hat to slide a little.

"You should know where the gold from the old hell came from, right?"

"The soul of a sinner."

"Hmmm! However, although Shikieihime's annual report says that the reason why gold production has been rising is because of the increase in corpses, there are some problems with this. ”

“…… The increase in corpses means that the number of reincarnated people will also increase, and these new populations will lead to economic growth on earth, so it stands to reason that hell and the earthly economy should maintain a delicate balance in general, but the economic crisis of the old hell has emerged, that is—"

"There are many people who have not been reborn!"

“…… You wait a minute. Patchouli pulled out a pair of red-rimmed glasses out of nowhere, put them on, picked up her smartphone from her hand, and after a few finger strokes, placed the screen in front of Jue.

"There doesn't seem to be a problem with the reincarnation family register announced by Hell."

"That person, I married Shikiki Yingji three years ago."

“…… You actually went to seduce a married man. ”

"The old hell was polygamous! No, that's not the main problem right now - it's just my guess, but 'he' approached Shikihime with some kind of purpose! ”

"To facilitate the falsification of published data?"

"That's right! And—" As he spoke, Satoru retrieved three gold coins from his bosom that he had carefully treasured.

"This is a gold coin that was smelted three years ago from home; This is a gold coin that was just mined in the Furnace of Hell; The last one was the gold coin he lent me - did you notice anything different? ”

After picking up the first gold coin and looking at it casually, Patchouli dropped it again, but when she picked up the last two gold coins, a solemn look finally appeared on her face.

"Maybe it's really a big problem this time......"

After confirming it several times, Patchouli put down the gold coin thoughtfully, frowned and thought for a while, and then said with a serious face:

"You're saying that in the old hell, the great -- 'he' falsified the rebirth record and created false gold in order to hide from everyone in order to collect the souls of sinners?"
