359 Chapter 316
There is a large river just before entering the Demon King Realm.
Previously, it was crossed by Leona's ice magic, but after the war ended, a solid bridge was built, allowing it to enter Demon King territory without any hassle.
But that's why he doesn't let anyone in, and the bridge has a solid surveillance post where no one wants to enter the Demon King's Realm on their own.
First, we arrived at the bridge and waited for the Nirvanas near the surveillance post.
"Nirvana... who the hell is coming?"
"Basically, it doesn't matter who comes. They'll send in decent people to help us not undermine the country's trust."
Nea is absolutely right.
It's just my impression, but Harold doesn't seem to be the kind of person who sends the wrong person.
I don't have to worry much.
Is Uluru-san okay?
Nh? What?
Uluru, who stroked the hyena of the horse, looks back at us.
"I'm not tired because it's an unfamiliar journey."
"Yeah, I'm totally fine! Rather, I'm a little excited because I've never been on such a journey before."
"I know exactly how it feels."
"That's right!"
Uluru-san smiled brightly.
I was as nervous as I was when I went on my brief trip, but I think I was just as excited.
"Besides, I thought I was too protective of oniichan."
"Isn't it nice to have family feelings?"
"... that's it."
What? What? All of a sudden, Mr Uluru's voice lurked.
Nothing in particular, but Nea and I will approach her and listen to her.
"The same healing wizard who came to our rescue during the previous war, there was someone named Charun, right?"
"Yes? I remember."
Gerna, Kate, and Charun.
One of the three healing wizards who came to rescue us from all over the world.
What's wrong with him?
"That person and oniichan. It's like I'm writing."
"... I see. Huh, is that what you mean?"
"That's what this is about...!"
"Does it feel good...!?"
"It feels so good...!!"
He nods to Uluru-san's words while demonstrating the goodness of his feelings.
For some reason Nea is staring me in the eye. [M]
"Why does this person have to guess so much better than himself...?"
"Fu, Nea. The dishonorable title of dullness. Let me return it here now."
"It's impossible because it's integrated at the soul level."
That much...?
As early as possible, what kind of bluntness and I am...?
"Lord Usat, I see the men sent from Nirvana."
"Yes!... it looks like you've arrived"
Well, let's face it.
The voice of Mr. Ark who was looking around.
Responding to that voice, we welcome the people from Nirvana who say we have arrived.
There are about seven people, the same number as us.
Um, um, thank you for waiting.
The person who stepped off the leading horse removes the travel hood he was wearing.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the Kingdom of Ringle, I am Helena Straem, the leader of this delegation.... just in case."
Helena, Nirvana Warriors' Corps, Warrior Commander Hyde's deputy.
Featuring slightly tired eyes and light purple hair, she smiles slightly relieved when she looks at me.
"I just met you. Usato-kun"
Was it Helena? Does that mean that the others are also members of the Warriors...? "
"That's how it feels. Ah, but... except for one..."
Then one of the people who was getting off the horse behind Ms. Helena stepped forward with her hood off.
Below the hood is a beautiful woman with three braided black hair slightly brown.
A woman who doesn't look that different from me in age bows gently with her hand on her chest.
Nice to meet you. My name is Senli.
"I am a deputy commander of the Lifeguard Corps. Thank you very much."
I want to thank you too.
I don't have a heart, and I don't think Helena and the warriors behind her are bluishing.
"You're the rumor... thank you very much."
Senri gave me a smiling smile. [M]
I immediately realized that I was being asked to shake hands, and I immediately responded.
Mmm?
Pressure" on the wrist.
Feel the force like when you were thrown at senpai, reflexively changing the center of gravity.
Lifting her face with her neck tilted, she looked at Senri in surprise.
"You're so powerful..."
"That's our line."
This guy is very strong.
That's Nirvana's warrior.
And I remember this exchange.
"Ufufufufu!!"
"Hahahaha....."
But what?
Something like this cold.
Senri in front of me may be laughing brightly, but my intuition whispers danger. [M]
"Hey, excuse me. Usato-kun"
Ah, yes.
"Sorry! We'll be ready soon too!!"
When I finished, Helena grabbed Senri's shoulder and pulled her away from me.
Helena shouted in a hurry when she was stunned.
"Hey, are you doing it like Senri-sama!?"
Dear...?
Helena talks to Senri in a soft voice right away... but this guy did say hello right now, right?
Maybe he's a great guy?
"... my body, it's awesome, it's twitchy"
"You're forgetting your language!? No!? No!? You promised!! No Matrimonial Duels!! No Fighting!?"
"What if it's legal?"
"There was nothing legal about a fight!?"
I kind of rub it.
No, maybe we should talk about it.
Well, it looks like we could make a rendezvous for now, and while the Nirvana side is preparing to leave, we should be ready.
"Something's wrong again. On the contrary, it's amazing."
"Near you, Usato, always seems lively and fun."
"I think so. I'm really scared of you."
Nea and Ululu whisper something behind them, but don't hesitate to go with Ark and the others to prepare the horses and the blulins for departure.
The city is so far away.
I'm worried about being attacked by monsters, so let's not relax.
To put it another way, the people of Nirvana were surprised to see me on the back of Brulin.
Well, that's the warriors of Nirvana.
They fought on the same battlefield together, and they quickly got used to it... but I can't believe Senri...
It's amazing that you're using Blue Grizzly as a demon!
"What, buddy? Don't you have a contract with the wizard? Then it's the same as me!
I got a voicemail on this expedition, but I'm also a friend with a tiger monster named Low Tiger Louga!
We are unexpectedly alike!
I'm surprised you've already shown so much interest.
I had a slightly dramatic conversation because of the momentum, but I don't think I'm a bad person.
While interacting with Senri and the warriors of Nirvana, we continued on the road to the Demon King's Landing, but a much more solid path was created than when we came here before.
The danger of being attacked by monsters kept me company, but unlike when I was still on the road without a path, I felt like I was proceeding with plenty of room.
Any sign of the monster?
As the sun set and the surroundings became dark, they camped and set out for the city again early in the morning.
Until then, I've been watching every turn so that the monsters don't attack me... but now each of the five of us, including me, is on alert.
"Gru"
"Hahaha, wake up when the monster arrives."
At his feet, Brlin sat on his back, and I looked into the woods illuminated by the moonlight, nagging his head.
"Mr Uluru was tired on an unfamiliar journey."
In the city, we will be involved with the demons, so we need to take a good look at Uluru when we do.
Olga left it to me, and it's too late for anything to happen.
Nh?
"Mr. Usato."
Senri?
Senri comes from the direction of camping.
"It took me a while to escape a bit of depressing surveillance...."
Huh?
"Ufufufu! Nothing!"
I felt like I was whispering something, but I laughed and was fooled.
"You must be tired from traveling from Nirvana, so why don't you rest?"
"I don't exercise so softly as I'm tired."
"... I see. It makes sense."
That's Nirvana.
Persuasive...!
"Speaking of which, I had the opportunity to meet Harold and Ouka from the Kingdom of Nirvana the other day, but at that time I was trying to shake hands with Ouka..."
"... heh, is that so?"
"Is it popular in Nirvana?"
Speaking of which, I'll ask Senri what comes to mind.
When I went to Miarak, I was forced to shake hands with Ouka-sama.
Senri did something similar, so I wondered if there would be such a greeting in Nirvana.
"No, it's a coincidence. But... how did you react when Ouka-sama tried your strength?"
"It feels like you recognized my power. It was a terrible thing for me."
Lucas is, but I am afraid that it will be recognized by the royal family of other countries.
It seems that Senri is also interested, so would you like to talk about Nirvana as a kind of story?
"But in the meantime, I was surprised to be introduced to Ouka-sama's sister."
"Did you get it?"
Huh?
"Did you get it?"
It's dark and I don't know, but I lean my neck at her with my voice down a little.
I don't know, but there's no reason to lie, so let's be honest.
"No, I declined because of my position and circumstances....."
Senri?
"Ah, no, it was a little blurry."
Are you all right?
Looking down diagonally, she looked down on her face.
... let's change the subject a bit.
"Why did Senri come to the Devil's Landing?"
Sometimes it is sudden participation, so I think there is some purpose and hope...
To my question, Senri looks a little worried. [M]
"That's right. Looking for someone, huh?"
"Do you know any Demons?"
"Fufu, no. That's not how it works."
But the person I want to see...
Doesn't going to the Demon King Realm mean you're going to see the Demons?
"I only know his name."
"Who is it? If you tell me, I might be able to ask someone I know to look for me."
If Koga and Amira don't know, you can ask the Devil.
... no, can't you just ask the Devil?
It seems that Senri will tell me the name when I twist my neck.
He's called Koga.
"Well, that's my friend."
"Really!?"
Is it vegetarian? Surprised by his slightly brave tone, Senri immediately had a soft expression.
I can't believe the demons I'm looking for were Koga...
"The strong are attracted...!? I mean, this encounter is fate...!? Wow...!?"
"? So, are you okay?"
"Da, daijove....."
Take a deep breath and regain calm, Senri leaves her back in the back tree
"But it's unexpected. I can't believe it's Koga."
"Well, do you know him well?"
"Yes, when we were at war, we had a lot of opportunities to fight."
No, you really fought him many times.
Beginning with Hinomoto, the next war, the ruins, and the next Verhazal.
Every time I fight, I really get my hands burned by someone who mimics my moves and evolves troublesome.
Are you strong?
"It's strong. That's enough trouble. For a moment, I was really close to being killed."
I won and overwhelmed them because I wasn't alone, but because I was backed by my friends.
I think he's a strong enemy to the extent that he doesn't know if he can win alone. Of course I'm not going to lose.
"But how did you know about him? I don't mean to be bad, but Koga is the only one who thinks about basic battles, so I don't see any contact points.... maybe revenge..."
"No, it's not. I just had the chance to know your name unilaterally from here... well, I still want to see you because you're strong. "
"... I see."
It would be strange if people from the Kingdom of Ringle and the Kingdom of Samaria said this, but Senri, the people of Nirvana, is convinced.
Well, shall I introduce you?
"Are you sure...?!?"
"Yeah, Koga's a pain in the ass, but there's something weird and serious about it."
I won't say this in front of the person.
But Koga can't stay in the corner either.
I can't believe such a beautiful woman knows her name.
"Well, I'm glad we're on a journey... first candidate, second candidate, ufufu... that's what I'm talking about right now..."
... why, I feel like I've forgotten something important.
But I can't think of it right away.
Were you ever that vigilant in connection with Nirvana?
Oh, it must be my fault.
"Usato-san!!!"
"Yes? What's the matter with you? The monster is approaching, and if you make such a loud noise...."
"Let's make arrangements here and now ---"
"Dear Senri!!"
As she was about to say something, the camper heard Helena screaming.
That Senri had a bad face.
"... * giggle *, have you noticed...!"
"You are already!! Aren't you alarmed and lacking!? Did this person do anything to you, Mr. Usato!?"
"No? I was just talking...."
What does it mean to get something done?
I don't look like such a dangerous person...
"Then you'll be fine! Come on, let's get back to the tent!!"
"Kh... Mr. Usato, thank you for introducing me!"
Helena dragged her back to the tent and nodded to Senri.
Once again, the place is wrapped in silence.
In a situation I don't quite understand, I crouched on the spot and slapped Brulin's head when I woke up with a loud voice.
"Hey, Brulin."
"Gh...?"
"I wonder what Nirvana is...."
I know that power speaks of a country.
But I think there are too many other strange parts.
