”Well, how did she get into this!?

Philip makes his voice rough.

Having heard that, the demon tribe - Bardul - continued to feel pleasant.

”I don't really understand either. I hear our men helped us save a little boy from everything...”

”Don't lie!

”It's true. So... it seems that you invited us to our house because you can stand up in this place.”

”What are you playing at...”

Let's be sure. What Bardul is saying is 100% false.

Philip refused Baldur's request.

But...

”I'm not making a rough imitation.”

While Philip is confused, Bardul has plenty of room for this.

”But you know, my men. When I find a cute girl, she has a difficult personality that makes me want to play with her a bit. Maybe she'll need to hang out with the play. Because of this, we may never be able to visit this village again.”

”Kh....”

Philip knocks his fist on the table.

(Play must be nothing. Elianne is in danger. So... what do I do? We can't involve her in anything unrelated!

Bringing Bardul into the village is suicide.

Nevertheless, even if Philip refuses here, Eliane may be killed this time.

(What a cowardly...!

Now that this is happening, there's only one thing Philip can do.

”... okay. But Bardul, you're the only one who can enter the village. I can't give this up.”

Fufufu, I see. For now (...), I'll convince you with that. Let's go face to face and talk. ”

Good mood, Bardul.

But Philip, on the other hand, was sticking his teeth and calculating the future.

The only reason I conditioned it on being Bardul... was because I decided that the spirits here could handle it.

But he won't be alone.

Using this kind of appeasement to negotiate is likely to keep your subordinates waiting to launch a total attack at any time.

(Think about it....! We need to find a way to stop this!

Philip thinks, but doesn't come up with a good idea at his convenience.

Though humiliated, Philip was forced to unravel the village.

Hmm, it's not such a good place.

The village's central square.

If it was true, it was around this time that everyone was complaining about Elaine's cooking here... but it was a disaster to come.

Philip and Bardul are facing each other, surrounding them and watching the other spirits go about worrying.

”... what do you want?”

Philip told Bardul in a low voice.

”Hey. Don't look so scared. I'm just here to talk. Let's get along better.”

Bardul asks for a handshake, but Philip ignores it.

His sister's tone suddenly stuck in her ear, making Philip even more uncomfortable.

Bardul smiled disgusting with Nianya.

”My purpose is one thing. I want to work with you spirits.”

”A cooperative relationship...?

”Yeah, specifically, providing a place. I want some of us to live here.”
