Advisor to Adventurer Alliance All Purpose ~ [Magic Swordsman] said to be [instrumentally poor] and

Walk out of Adventurer Guild headquarters and on the boulevard of Wang Capital with Ledo and Aria a little distance from each other. The relationship between the two was reflected in that sense of distance.

"Mmmm... why with you"

"Don't tell me. It was decided by the Alliance Master and everyone else."

"... I know that,"

The Reds, who received an urgent request from Almas, the Alliance Master, to crusade the Demon King, then exchanged information and became disbanded.

That's when Almas made a suggestion.

"I'm not sure I'm a demon king yet, but if I were, this would be another chance. Names, figures, abilities, all unknown, but this time it could be bright. And I know you're all strong and smart... but I want you to work together as a representative of the Adventurer Alliance on this request."

"Huh? So you mean a joint request?

"Yes. Destroying each one is the worst scenario. I would have liked to have been involved with the [Blood Table Knights], but Lusan refused. So at least I want you to move away temporarily from your own party, in a party or pair made up of S-ranks only."

"Like these guys? Are you kidding me?"

"Please, Zex. The opponent is the Demon King. I think we should do that. [M] Or shall I order you with guild master authority?

"... Fine. But let's make up our minds about the composition of the party or the pair."

Thus, if not, the quarrel was also negotiated, resulting in a party divided into a pair of brothers and sisters: Zex, Dietrich, Elijah and Dir, and Ledo and Aria.

By Zex and Dill's assertion that they don't want to pair up with Ledo and Aria, who are eyed by Lusan, the result is a form paired with protruders.

Redo was not particularly dissatisfied with it. If you really want to exchange the Demon King crusade, I do know that you want to remove as much of Lusan's potential obstruction as you can.

Nevertheless, Ledo had his head on Aria, who looked dissatisfied.

Regardless of the psychology of the woman around the year, Ledo didn't know how to deal with her real sister, who was just an unfamiliar colleague.

"Oh man... the problem is piling up"

"What are you gonna do?"

"Even if they tell you to destroy the Demon King. I don't know what he looks like, what his name is, what his abilities are. I can't look for him. It's up to Zex and the others..."

As for Redo, this request to crusade the Demon King was honestly not very ridden. Because there are so many things that really catch on.

Zex and the others were willing to ride, so there was also a desire to entrust everything to them...

"I know what you mean..."

"On your mind?"

Aria came a little closer to Redo. Already this conversation has been kept secret by witchcraft and will look like a silent pair of men and women walking at a subtle distance around. So I don't need to get close to anything else......

"As for the reason the Demon King breaks into the king's capital."

"... what's that?

"It's me..."

"Why?"

Aria gave me a disgusting look. It was Redo I hope you wouldn't look at my brother like that.

"It's because I brought the data back from the ruins of the old world. Now I'm asking Sister Callis to analyze it... I just can't figure out that the Demon King is coming himself. Thought there might be a demonic neighborhood for my men..."

Nevertheless, unless there is such a thing as an incursion of demons into a hard-working capital, Redo thought it was unlikely.

But on the contrary, if you are the Demon King, you may be able to do it.

It is because it is a king's capital that is strong in guard and refuses to enter the Demon Nation - it is highly likely that the intruder is the Demon King.

"... Involved This one is a good nuisance"

"Sorry, but the Alliance Master should know about this data..."

That's what Ledo cares about, too. Almas definitely knew the data existed but didn't mention it.

"There are some disturbing moves within Dragon College... and I think the troubles are increasing to snowman ceremonies"

"Anyway, we need to find the Demon King quickly and do something about it... we won't get the job done"

"... Oh, speaking of Aria, that was helpful then. Thank you. You didn't say thank you."

"Because it was my job... that's all"

I don't gaze at Ledo, and that's what I say, Aria walks forward.

As for Redo, I just wanted to ask him what kind of request he made, but I had a feeling he wouldn't tell me where he'd heard it.

"So for now, do you want to find out where the Demon King is? Let's leave the crusade to the Zekes."

"It's a place... well, there's only one place I can think of."

"Right. Well, the question is where are you..."

Ledo and Aria entered the back alley and stopped in front of a certain building.

That's just a private house at first glance. Redo and Aria do not hesitate to open that front door and go in. There are furniture and household items inside, just like private houses, but somewhere inorganic, I can't feel the sense of life.

Ledo and Aria cling to the living room just to find out on their own, going down the stairs leading to the basement ahead.

"So, where do you look from?

"Likely near the surface layer. Deep down, you can't use metastatic magic, and it's inconvenient to get out on the ground."

"What are the possibilities for a way out of the deep?

"I can't say enough... But that possibility's on hold for now."

At the end of the stairs there was a little space of stone. In the back there is a large door, on both sides of which stands the knights of [Blood Table Knights (Blood Knights)] with their swords.

"… present your guild card or entry permit"

Ledo and Aria presented the guild card to the knight's words on the right.

"Confirmed. At present, a massive survey by the Knights is underway internally. I advise you to stay out of the way."

Ledo and Aria face to face with the knight's business words on the right. But soon Aria missed her face.

Redo sighs at the boy.

When I saw Ledo like that, the knight on the left opened his mouth. There is an abusive grin on that face.

"Especially you. You better be careful. A lot of knights don't think well of you, do they? I hope that woman gets home safe."

Hearing that malicious caged word, Redo passes through an open door without worrying. By mistake, Redo threw his words at the knight.

"Sleep (...) Scratch (...) your neck (...) or be (...) careful (...). You knights are good at this, aren't you?

"Huh!! Hey!!"

A knight shook up his sword, but at the same time the door closed.

"That sort of thing."

"... I'm sorry. I couldn't grow up."

"If you hadn't told me, I would have hit you."

"... stop that"

There was a huge corridor leading to the back in front of Ledo and Aria. It also continues to the left and right and feels like it went out in the middle of the street.

The corridor walls are not dark because of the slight luminescence, but there is not enough light to be seen far ahead.

"Well...... but a massive Knights survey? They're still moving independently."

"Nothing. This isn't even their thing. You can look for it without worrying."

"Right...... do you want to go then"

Ledo and Aria pull out their weapons, respectively, and continue down the corridor.

The name of this place is [Underground Palace (Maize Palace)]

It is a gigantic ruin strewn beneath the Wangdu underground and continues deep underground. There are still no humans who have seen the abyss, and demons are a dangerous place to roam.

All entrances connected to the ground are closely monitored or sealed, but several new entrances and exits are still found each year.

Due to its characteristics, people and criminals in the back society also live here, and access by the general public is strictly forbidden. Therefore, when it comes to hiding in the Wang capital… this [underground palace (maize palace)] is the first candidate.

Ledo, Aria, and perhaps the Knights would be here if there were demon kings. Redo was sure that the Zeks would be visiting as well.

"Well, I hope there's no trouble..."

"Not even close."

Thus began the exploration of the [underground palace (maize palace)] of a pair of brothers and sisters named Ledo and Aria.

[Underground Palace (Maize Palace)]

Surface layer, near [line light crossing].

"Mm-hmm. Grimm, be as good as you are. But kill them exactly."

"Yes."

What, along with the sound of an egg or something cracking, emerged from the darkness was the Demonic Girl - the Grimm. The hand is stained with blood, with skull fragments snapping into the hand.

Under its feet lay the bodies of the knights.

"Something's increasing. Didn't I find out?

"Hmm... that's a lot faster than I was calculating. observation accuracy, guessing by it, and behavior. It's all faster than my calculations."

It is Grimm's father, known as the Demon King - Iglese - who is not gazing at Grimm and manipulating the device at hand. What he was wearing was a costume called a suit, which looked like it simplified the clothes worn by the nobles.

"Right? That's why I told you, right? Humans can't be fools."

"Hmmm...... sure. Oh, here we go. Here we go."

"What are you gonna do?

"Whatever we do, we need to get that data back and get out of here. If you bring it in, he'll come out."

Iglese looked up from the device and walked out.

"Are you sure you want to come?

"Coming. That's the kind of [covenant]. A hundred years, a thousand years, they're coming."

"Melancholy. Well, it's better than dealing directly with an ancient dragon."

"What are you saying... a customer"

Iglese stares at the shadows walking slowly from before.

"Oh, Iglese. How dare you show your face here with Nukenuke... I was half-hearted at first, huh? No, no, no, no way. Then goodbye... I really didn't know it would work. I'm surprised!

That was one man in the thin looking air. He's a skinheaded young man who wears hiccups and accessories, and has tattoos all over his body without gaps and surprises.

I had a knife in both hands.

"Rumor has it...? Grimm, cover me. I'm leaving."

"... that one?

"Oh. It is a true enemy to our demons - the dragons (...) tribe (...)"

At the same time as Iglese's words, the skinhead man laughed.

"Gahahahaha!! A true enemy? I'll tell you what I can't do! It's funny how you guys are called by a name that you couldn't be people and couldn't even be dragons!! Defects die here!!

"... a relic of a previous era"

The battle begins between Iglese the Demon King and Grimm.
