The Fire Dragon Lord: “Has the De really fallen!”
East Fortress Base Commander: “…”
The Witch-Queen of Banshees: “Yeah”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “What is going on? Explain!”
Aide-de-Ca back to the pavilion It was a short distance, and ere laughing and joking… All of a sudden, so…”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “Is the Deht?!”
The Chieftain of the Tattooed: “She is presently in the care ofto delay it”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “Delay what?”
The Chieftain of the Tattooed: “She has been poisoned We are trying to slow it down”
East Fortress Base Co It’s definitely a very serious injury Actually, it wouldn’t have been strange if she had died on the spot Luckily, the Black Knight ed to suck out some of the poison”
Aide-de-Camp: “…”
The Chieftain of the Tattooed: “The shamans of the Tattooed and the physicians of the Banshees are tending to her as best we can, but it’s a very deep wound and the poison is a very strong one as well…”
The Witch-Queen of Banshees: “Why…”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “Who is responsible for this! To do so is absolutely crucial for the Kurultai!”
East Fortress Base Commander: “…”
The Witch-Queen of Banshees: “To use such aso underhanded is far belohat any normal Demon would do The fool I cannot understand why anyone would be so willing to anger the Eight Great Demon Tribes, no, the Nine Great Demon Tribes with such an underhanded method as assassination”
The Chieftain of the Tattooed: “How about a human…”
Aide-de-Ca?!”
The Chieftain of the Tattooed: “Using such despicablewould result in a loss of reputation, so it can’t be a warrior It’s clear that it can’t be anyone from the Demon Race None of the Khans would allow it… That’s why it’s natural for me to suspect that this must have been done by a human assassin”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “…No, the only one ould stand to gain from this is one of us The shooter was never even revealed, so there was no loss of reputation It’s probably so as an obstacle to be removed”
The Witch-Queen of Banshees: “Noe can only pray for the best…”
Wind blows…
The Hero: “…”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “Black Knight”
The Hero: “…The next few days will be the most difficult”
East Fortress Base Commander: “!”

The Hero: “…Thank you for all you have done I cannot thank you any more for all the help you have provided for us The Chief Maid is presently tending to her, but… It is very deep — The necrosis is very advanced as well”
Aide-de-Camp: “That’s…”
The Hero: “…If the De be selected?”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “I suppose that should be considered”
The Hero: “Please tell me”
The Fire Dragon Lord: “…The stars will decide the successors of the Deil soil, theIn fact, throughout History, the Deil”
The Witch-Queen of Banshees: “It often happens that a lot of people have the sigil Usually about two or three The present Deil-bearers to contend with though…”
The Chieftain of the Tattooed: “There were six”
The Witch-Queen of Banshees: “If only one person has the sigil, that person auto If there arecandidate or a representative takes part in a tournament, and the victor of the tourna”
