"Speaking of which, are you really planning to go to Shikoku?" Du Ren's figure appeared beside Nu Liang's slippery scoop.

"Du ····· Mr. Du Ren?! The little monk of natto looked at the figure that appeared next to the slippery scoop in surprise.

"I know you know a lot of things, but I'm still going to leave this opportunity to Lu Sheng." Slippery Scoop took a deep breath and said.

"Is it really just a chance to give Lu Sheng a chance to become stronger? Or are you unwilling to face the slave group that has begun to split? ”

“········” Nu Liang did not answer.

"Lu Sheng's future is still very long, although he is a half-demon among half-demons, his potential is still not comparable to ordinary monsters."

"And you also believe me, Lu Sheng will kill the feathered fox to break the curse and let the Nuliang group welcome another glory, right?" Du Ren raised an eyebrow.

"I believe that the result is different from the process of development, and the outcome you see may not be as you say." Slippery Scoop sighed.

Indeed, although the plot of the original book is like this, since Du Ren has intervened, it is very likely to cause a butterfly effect, and the curse of the slippery ghost may never be lifted because of his relationship.

So the future outcome is not a given.

"If that's what you think, then there's no reason for me to stop you."

"Thank you." Slippery Scoop nodded, and then said to Natto Monk, "Natto Monk, please tell the Raven Tengu that I'm going to be away for a while." ”

"Total ····· General ?!! ”

"Or do you want to come with me?" A smile appeared on Slippery Scoop's face.

"Huh? Ahh!!!!h Wait for me! General !!! ”

"Finally, thank you for the baboon thing."

"You're welcome, it's just a gesture~" Du Ren smiled and raised his hand and waved.

Night at the villa.

Hyodo Issei lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling.

'It's been a week since I came to the mountain—'

'I practice every day from morning to night. The combo and attack and defense changes that were drawn up for the game were also repeated again and again. ’

Moving his gaze to Kiba, where he was sleeping next door, he found that he was already asleep.

‘…… Kiba is really amazing. The more we practice, the more we feel the gap between our innocence. Even if I spend my whole life, I won't be able to beat Kiba in swordsmanship. Innate talent and skills acquired by desperate practice. ’

I don't have either of them. If you start working hard now, will you finally be able to reach the realm of Kiba? How many years will that be? No, decades later? Well, maybe it will take a lifetime. ’

'If it weren't for Mr. Du Ren······

'I-'

"Ah~ Damn!" Hyodo Kassei jumped up from the bed. Slowly walk to the kitchen.

When you finish a glass of water in the kitchen –

"Huh? Still awake? Minister Lias's voice came from the living room.

"Ah, Minister. Good evening. ”

"Why are you here? Just a little bit, come and talk to me. ”

The candle glowed faintly on the table. Demons can be seen at night even without lights.

Thanks to this, it is possible to exercise in the mountains at night. So, the candle is just for the sake of setting the mood?

Hyodo Kassei sat down across from Minister Rias.

Minister Lias, dressed in a red dressing gown, tied her red hair in a bunch and wearing glasses.

"Huh? Is the minister eyesight bad? ”

"Ah, this? It's a matter of mood. When you put on your glasses when you're thinking about things, your mind spins faster. Hehehe, this is evidence of living in the human world for a long time. Minister Lias chuckled quietly.

'The minister with glasses is so pretty...... Anyway, the minister in the nightgown is the best! ’

On the table were something like a map, and a piece of paper with a formation written on it.

‘…… Late at night, does a person make a combat plan? Hyodo thought to himself.

The minister covered the notebook with the tactics written on it.

“…… Seriously, even if you look at this kind of thing, you can't feel at ease. ”

The minister said with a sigh.

"If the opponent is another high-level demon, you can still fight by looking at this. This book is like a manual for combat. But that's not the problem. ”

"So, what's the problem?"

"In Rysel himself. It's not so much that Phoenix is the biggest problem. Minister Lias, who answered Hyodo's question, took out a book and placed it on the table. Finger the page open. On it is depicted a majestic firebird with its wings of fire unfurled.

"In the past, Phoenix was worshipped as a sacred beast that ruled life. The tears that come out can be healed no matter what kind of wounds, and if you drink its blood, you can become immortal and immortal, which is also widely spread in the countries of the human world. ”

However, Phoenix, as a sacred beast, is still purely in another clan. That is to have the status of a marquis. Phoenix on the demon side in [Seventy-two Pillars].

"In order to distinguish it from the sacred beast Phoenix, the humans call the demonic Phoenix [Phenex], but the ability of the Resel clan is basically the same as the Phoenix of the Holy Beast. - That is, immortality. We just had to fight that. ”

'Immortal!? Wait, wait, that's it. ’

"Isn't that the strongest! Immortal, it's too invincible no matter what! ”

Anyway, you already have the small universe hole cards that Du Ren gave you, why do you still think that others are invincible?!

"That's right. It's basically invincible. No matter how you attack, it will regenerate immediately. A blow of karmic fire can burn even the bones. Eight wins and two defeats. This is the official [Rating Game] record of Riesel. Eight out of ten battles are won. Two of the defeats were deliberately lost in consideration of the problem of family lineage. Actually, it's a total victory. Resel is now a candidate for victory. ”

"What——!" Hyoto Issei was so surprised that he couldn't say anything.

Minister Lias said that Minister Hyoto Kazusei understood.

—It's Riesel! How to take down that guy, here's the problem! ’

"When Resel was chosen as a marriage partner, I had a very bad premonition. Yes, it's normal to think about it now, and my father wanted it to be like this in the first place. In order to get married no matter what I wanted, I chose Rescell. In this case, if you are against Reselle, who has become a family member, and if you use Phoenix as your opponent, you will not be able to win easily. If you use the words of chess. It's a scam—"

"Then use the hole cards left to me by Mr. Du Ren————"

"Nope." Minister Lias refused without thinking.

"Why?!"

"Have you forgotten what the Red Dragon Emperor in your artifact said to you? That power is enough to destroy the world, and that guy has a relationship with the Infinite Dragon God, so you can use the power he left you at will········" Lias's worries were not unfounded, the relationship between the Infinite Dragon God alone was enough to make her two hundred percent vigilant against Du Ren!

"Yes····· Isn't that ·······?"
