Dungeons for the Devil, Dungeons for the Core

After a discussion about the design of the new dungeon in Crevasse, further troubles broke out beneath those of us who were slowly relenting.

"A noble child?

"Yes. It was disputed among the freed slaves. We and the Beasts had plenty to spare, and we wanted to borrow your wisdom... '

Apparently, among the slaves liberated in Vazari, there was a mix of aristocratic childish. Though sympathetic to the position of slavery, they refuse to take back both the beasts and the elves, saying they cannot take people to their villages. Horn picked it up because he had no choice, and now he's sleeping in a forest cave ahead of him through Count Vazari territory.

Instruct him to maintain the status quo for now, and we will consider good aftermath measures here.

'That's why. I don't know the details, but anyone with an opinion can tell me what to do.'

"Damn, the Lord will pick up trouble next."

'I'm not looking for trouble. You got any more ideas than that?

"If I make you an obedient demon, can't you?"

Including me, I stared at Rye, who made a blundering remark.

"Uh, Rye... you? Even if you're an obedient demon...... where do you keep it?

Regardless of Keane's "keep" statement, I want to agree with that opinion.

"Where?" Where are you? The devil is the devil. '

Oh, well. Did Rye's statement consider protecting the child after minimizing the risk of my information being leaked? You haven't thought about the will of a child since the beginning. But it's not a bad idea from my point of view of safety.

"The question is, don't ask me if I'm going to take the kid."

"A child of nobility... whose identity... I don't know..."?

"Horn questioned the quality (just), but he looked like he thought he would talk about nothing. He's apathetic, he obeys instructions in silence, and he doesn't have the guts to run away."

"Hmm. What a translation."

'I don't want any extra prying. I feel bothered when I get involved, no, I'm sure'

Can you flag me any weirder?

"So what are you going to do, Lord?"

'I'm sorry to push you like this on the horn...'

Anyway, I decided to fly ahead with Horn because I couldn't figure out what was going on. For once, as usual, Rye and Keane accompany them as escorts.

Instruct him to magically keep the child asleep before the meeting and ask Horn what's going on.

"And even so, I don't know more than we talked about the other day. The fact that she's from Manastella leaked..."

"Manastella?"

"Don't you know the spiritual user? It's a neighbor of this country, and there was a change of throne the other day."

"... you've got a stronger and stronger feeling there's going to be trouble involved. You didn't do anything magically forceful to ask?

"I hear Dark Magic has that technique, but I don't understand it..."

I don't have a choice. Do you want to use the confession agent I brought from the Earth world? I'm worried about the effect on my body, and I don't want to show Horn my hand, but I can't help it at this time.

From what I heard using a confession agent, the boy's name was Marr, the three sons of the former Duke of Cleaver in the kingdom of Manastella - who seems to have been crushed - and is now the only survivor of the Duke's family. Says he escaped at the hands of supporters of the kingdom of Manastella and dived into this country under the guise of slavery. He told me that in this country he was supposed to rely on a nobleman named Holbeck, but that he was caught in this disaster on the arrowhead joining his users.

"Do you have any idea of a nobleman named Holbeck? Horn."

…………

Hmm? That's weird how Rye and Keane react, huh?

"Um... Spiritualist, Baron Elgin Otto Holbeck is Lord of the Elgin Territory, including the village of Edge where the Spiritualist lives"

... Yeah, I guess it's packed, this one.
