45 Calm and noisy day (1/2)

Demon King Modes

I'm sorry, Morna.

Then Mona bows her head.

'No, Master Modes. If this is as much as you would like, please order me to do anything.'

I'm relieved that Morna seems to have agreed to it.

By now, the female knights of the demon race who were Morna's guards should be on their way to Sir Dihardt's place.

With this, Sir Dihardt also had his own subordinates.

In truth, he was going to assign subordinates from among the Dark Knights made up of men of the demon race, but the Dark Knights had been almost destroyed in the battle against the brave men and were currently being rebuilt. Therefore, I couldn't take away the few dark knights from Sir Llanfeld.

I thought about having orcs, lower-grade demons, etc. as my subordinates, but considering Sir Dihardt's strength, they would only be a drag. After all, if I wanted to give them subordinates, the flying dragon riders of the demon race would be better.

So I decided to make some of the female knights under Morna's command, who were unharmed, Sir Dihardt's subordinates.

Originally, as long as he was in Nargol, Mona would never be in danger, and there were just too many knights in his escort.

So there should be no problem with reducing some of the female knights.

But to do that, he would have to get Mona's permission. I thought Mona would be reluctant to do so because she didn't seem to like Sir Dihardt very much, but surprisingly, she agreed easily. I am relieved about that.

''There's no way I wouldn't do what Sir Modes-sama asks of me.

Morna laughs. That laugh prolongs my own heart.

'Nuh-uh.'

He laughs and pulls Morna into a hug.

'I shouldn't, Master Modes ....... In a place like this ......

Isn't it good, isn't it good, isn't it good?

Then a voice comes from outside the door.

'Your Majesty, Your Majesty. May I have your permission?

What's going on?

As he says this, Lugus comes into the audience room.

'As a matter of fact, there's something I wish to put in Your Majesty's ear.

Lugus said and bowed his head.

'What's going on? Lugus?

'Actually, ....... It seems that Nat, who was watching the brave men, was grabbed by one of the brave women.

What?

Nat is the one who has done well for this modus operandi. How could it be caught? .......

'So what, old Lugus? It's only a rat. It's nothing to tell His Majesty, is it? If you don't know important information about us, then throw it away!

Morna says coldly. She seems to be in a bad mood after being interrupted for a moment.

'It's true, but ......,'

Lugas also nodded. Nat does not have a high status in Nargol. That's why he thinks that both Morna and Lugus should abandon him.

But I don't want to abandon those who have worked for this Modes.

'Lord Lugus. Where are the brave men now?

'That's ....... It appears that we have entered the labyrinth of Minon.

'What! In that labyrinth?

Lugas nodded that it was an affirmation.

'Yes, I don't know why. ......

'That's a bit bad: ....... That labyrinth is nasty.

I know about Minon's labyrinth. The labyrinth that he controls is difficult to get out of, even for me, this demon king, once I enter it.

''Your Majesty ....... I don't think you'll get lost. It's only a single mouse. You just have to abandon it.

Morna says so, but I'd help her if I could.

But the deal with Odis makes it difficult to move. But who else can help but this Modes?

I think there. And it leads me to an entity. A dark knight with a power to rival Modes.

He will be the only one who can save Nat.

”I suppose we'll have to ask him... ......

Shirone the Maiden of Swords

We are returning to the Republic of St. Renaria from the Kingdom of Argoa.

It's because I have to prepare to receive Regina and the others now.

As for me, I didn't want to go back, but Kaya-san told me that I should talk to Chiyuki-san about the situation with Kuroki to some extent, because she said it would be better to discuss it with him. She also said that if he hadn't been completely brainwashed, there would definitely be a chance to get him back.

Anyway, maybe I should look for an opportunity now.

''Kaya. Do you still have no contact with your brothers?

Kyoka says to Kaya.

'That's it, miss. I don't connect with Rage-sama and the others at all. Maybe something happened over there.'

Kaya-san says as if she is troubled.

I want to talk to Chiyuki-san about it, but what in the world happened?

'Hey, Kaya-san. You have to be able to get the best out of it. Then let's go with us.

'If you can't reach me through the magic communicator, it's only until we go here.

'Yes, that's right. 'Well, when we get Lizena and the others, we should go to the Republic of Ariadina from here.

Kyoka agrees with me.

'Yes, ....... It certainly looks like we won't have to wait around.'

We were discussing it.

Suddenly there is a knock on the door.

What is it?　Come in.

Kaya said and the one who came in was a priestess who served the Temple of Raina.

'Kyouka-sama, Shirone-sama and Kaya-sama. The Supreme High Priestess wants to see you.''

The priestess bows her head.

'Are you calling me? The chief priest? Why?

I ask the priestess.

The Supreme High Priest is the head priest.

The positions of priests in the Order of Goddess Raina include, from the top, High High Priest, High Priest, Priestess and Deacon.

The High Priest is the highest rank in the Order's organization and there is only one High Priest in the world.

And the High High Priest is in charge of the priests in the temples of Raina all over the world. That is why he is sometimes called the Priest-in-Chief.

He calls us in. What can I do for you?

'I don't know ....... I was just told to call you, so I'm just going to go to .......

The priestess replies in annoyance. As far as I remember, she was a deacon,” the priestess replied. As the lowest office in the hierarchy, she probably wasn't told of the exact nature of her errand.

What is it?

What?

Let's go for a ride, anyway.

We are shown around by a priestess.

'This is ......, I believe ......'

I was surprised.

I was led to a room that only a limited number of people are allowed to enter in the temple.

This is the room where the goddess Reena and Chiyuki-san will meet.

'We have brought you here.'

The priestess bows her head and opens the door.

It closes from the outside as we step inside.

'I see you're finally back,'

There was an unexpected person there, no, a god.

'Goddess Raina!'

The goddess Raina was there. She doesn't come here very often.

What could have happened?

What's going on, Goddess Raina?

Kaya bows her head and asks Raina.

'Shirone, Kyouka and Kaya, you three must listen to me carefully. Rage and the others' lives are in danger.

We are amazed at the words.

'Goddess Raina ....... What on earth is going on?

'Rage and the others are trapped in the Labyrinth of the Evil One in the Minon Plain. The situation is time-sensitive.

Raina answers Kyouka's question gravely.

With Raina's words, we knew that Rage-kun and the others were in danger.

◆The Prince of Algore, Omiros.

It's always great to see: ......

Macusis muttered as he looked out from the top of the castle walls.

The place where Macusis is looking at is the place where the hundred-armed giant was defeated.

It was originally a hill. But now there is a large blackened and charred hole.

That big hole is so big that it looks like the Kingdom of Algore will be completely filled in.

”A dark knight ....... That's a hell of a force to be reckoned with .......

This great hole was created when the Dark Knight defeated the Hundred Armed Giant. I thought he must be strong enough to have defeated someone called a brave man, but I didn't think he was as strong as this.

Despite the fact that ogres, goblins, and others had attacked, there was no damage to the Algore Kingdom at all.

It was all thanks to the dark knights taking steps beforehand. Spartoi, who was called in to defend this country from the goblins, has disappeared before long.

How much power does he have?

Yeah, no wonder he can't win. So cheer up, Omiros.

What do you mean, Macusis?

It's just that you got the wrong girl. You can do better than that.

Macusis laughs.

'I don't think it's very comforting, but ....... Well, thanks for trying to cheer me up.'

Besides, with that dark knight, I don't think it would be a good idea to lose. I couldn't protect Regena on my own.

If it wasn't for the Dark Knight, he wouldn't have been able to protect Regena.

There was no way I could compete with him like that.

And I could sense a strong will from him to protect Regena. So Regena would be fine now. The girl who was afraid of the goblins and locked herself away was no more. I am relieved about that.

And touch the magic shield. I wanted to be as strong as he was.

'Omiroth!

Riette, riding a werewolf, is coming here.

The werewolf is going to live in this country.

The reason for this is because the Dark Knight told him to protect this country. So this werewolf can no longer eat people.
