271 # 256 The identity of the mastermind.txt




When I logged into the game, Sephone begged me for food, and when I served it, I ate it up with Lily and the others who naturally joined in.

I'm not going to say anything.

I'm very happy with it... oops, I thought humans were supposed to say thank you for the food.

'Oh, poorly done. You really know your stuff.

Of course! And who knows Freetia better than a mistress?

When I heard the story, apparently the shadow summons had been peeking at the ground every so often. That's when I realized something important.

'Do you know most of what happened to Freetia?

'Mmm! What's that? Whatever you want to know, I'll answer it, okay?

"Do you know the demon that attacked Princess Gylfi Fretia?

If you know everything, that's quite possible.

I didn't see the scene of the crime, but I did see who slipped through the wards and broke into Princess Gylfi's room. I'm almost certain he's the one who fell ill that day.

I didn't see the crime scene, but I'm pretty sure it was him.

Can you give us a description of the shooter? If I could, I'd like to know your name.

Now, what kind of big hits do we get?

I don't know her name, but she had a nice body, didn't she?

Yeah. That's not enough to hit all the Dream Demon species. But Sephora gave me another clue.

"And later, the wing of an insect.

The first thing that comes to mind with the bug demon is the Lord of the Flies demon... give me a break... but it doesn't feel right. We'll just have to find out for sure.


That's why I headed to Freetia Castle and asked permission to meet with the demon Ose, who is being held captive.

'You are the summoner who defeated Zepal?

Hate to say it, but you've got the wrong guy. I don't know any adventurers who killed him.

Hm. If he's the one who attacked Gylfi's guy, I'm not going to tell you.

Then I know who did it. Someone saw what you guys were doing. The culprit was Beelzebub.

When I say this, Ose starts laughing.

'That man would never mess with you lowlifes! If you think about how much you say you're the one who set me up, you're not even close to disappointing me!

'I'm sorry I didn't live up to your expectations... and thank you for meeting my expectations. Now I know who did it.

'What? You!

This guy who knew I was setting him up and didn't warn me is nothing more than a moron.

I had a clue in the first place. Zepal, Ose, and Fornes appear in Solomon's Demon God.

But Nebilos is a demon that appears in the Book of True Profoundness and the Book of Great Profoundness.

The fact that they are fighting together is odd. But if the game is set up with various demons fighting together, that's a different story.

And I've got an idea of a female demon with fly wings that has the power to attack Princess Gylfi, a demon that fits perfectly with the mastermind behind this incident.

She is a Zoroastrian demon and one of the seven great demon kings of Vendidad. She is an evil god of iniquity and deceit, a hotbed of corruption and a spreading of impurity throughout the world.

'Dworji. Or should I call you Doorginus?

Ose is silent. Silence is the way to go, you know?

I walked out of the room where Ose was and saw Princess Sarah.

'Did you find out who did it?'

'Yes. Have you ever heard of a demon called D'Orji or D'Orjinus?

''I'm sorry. I don't have a clue... maybe the library or the Beast Demon Guild could have something for you.

Then let's go check it out.

Can we get rid of this demon?

Yes. It's nice to meet you.

This Ose is the demon who tried to kill Princess Sylphy. It would make sense for Fretia to get rid of it. It's too good to be true, though, considering the experience.


I headed to the Beast Demon Guild and Nephi-san was there. I heard that Aura-san and the others were headed for the reconstruction of the town of Fast.

''It's D'Orji...I'm sorry. I've never heard of it. I'll check it out on my end.''

I'm sorry. You've got the day off...

'Hmm. Don't worry about it. We'll have to keep an eye on Gramus to make sure he doesn't escape anyway.

It's tough for Nephi, too. Well, I'm headed to the library for a while. Let's see what I can find out.
