But then, the human city is quite interesting.

　While scurrying around, a curious Reffi muttered.

'Oh? What, you've never been here before?

　Yes, I ask above my head.

　She has become somewhat fond of riding on my shoulders and remains on top of me after watching the street performer's show. Apparently, it feels good to be at a height where you can look down on others. That's typical of Ha Long-sama's words.

　Occasionally there are people who look at you smiling, but I'd like to tell them what you think.

"Hmm. I've been here before to burn things down, but this is the first time I've ever walked the streets straight through a city. I never had an ounce of interest in it before.

"Oh, ...... um . .

　Well, you said you'd made a mutual non-interference agreement before. I guess they never had a chance.

　...... It makes me wonder if traveling with me now is a violation of that agreement. They're the ones who broke it first. So it's not a problem. So it's not a problem.

And sir, you can get worked up about my thighs, but you need to tighten up your expression a little. I know what you're thinking.

"I'm not excited here!

Onii-san: ......

　A brave man walking next to me looks at me like he sees something unfortunate.

　Don't look at me like that. I just thought my thighs felt good.

　I cleared my throat and then tried to ask the brave man as if nothing had happened.

"So, Nell. So, Nell, I don't know much about it, but what do adventurers do?

You can't fake a serious face all of a sudden, mister.

"............

　The brave men call me "Onii-san" because they can't call me "demon king" in the city, and after considering other ways to call me that, they decided to do so because they thought I was a neighborhood guy.
　Well, I'm just a regular person. It's no wonder you say that. I'll acquire the dignity of a demon king from now on.

　The regular "Lefi" is "Lefi. At first, the hero called her by her nickname, but her fierce smile threatened him, so he started calling her by her normal name.

　Then we got together and I called her "Lefy" and she punched me in the face. It was very painful.

Well, putting aside your proclivities, you were an adventurer. An adventurer's job is basically to kill demons. but also escorting and gathering valuable medicinal herbs. And, like Leffi said before, I don't go around killing other species.

　Hmm. That one. Think of it like a hunter in a monter-hunter.

"Hmm? Is that so? Have you counted the number of adventurers who have come to attack me?

"You've been mistaken for a demon, haven't you?

　And everyone fears Hail dragon.

They're rude. Let's eradicate them all.

I don't know what he was attacked for, but please don't do it.

　--So the three of us wade through the chaos for a few dozen minutes. 　

　Eventually, we arrived at a building.

"Oh, ...... is this the guild hall?

　There was a constant stream of people coming and going in and out of the hall, which gave it a certain liveliness.

Okay, then, let's get going.

You know what I mean. You don't know anything about fear at all, do you?

He's an idiot, he's too dumb to know that.

Fool. I'm not going to be trapped by such shallow emotions.

　With that said, I entered the room through the open door with a slightly excited feeling.

　--At the same time, the sound of the hustle and bustle enveloped me.

　Loud and boisterous - and comforting.

　I like this atmosphere. It's not bad.

　For a brief moment, they look at the young-looking Rephi and us with a brave man older than that but still in the category of a girl, but they quickly lose interest and return to chatting with their companions, drinking a drink.
　There seems to be a restaurant next to this place, which may be the reason for the large number of people here. It's lunchtime now.

　You continue on through the hall and eventually stop at the counter at the end of the hall.

Welcome. What can I do for you today?

　The receptionist at the other end of the counter is surprisingly polite, to which the brave man replies: "I'd like to register these two over here, please.

"I'd like to register these two, please.

"Well ...... are you two here? Excuse me, your daughter too?

　The lady gets off my shoulder and looks at Reffi in line next to me with a questioning look on her face.
　Well, you're certainly not old enough to be that kind of adventurer, and you don't have the looks to do it, Reffi.



　He really is a guy who looks like a deep-windowed daughter or something.

Do you have something to say to me?

"It's nothing.

　And while talking beside, the brave man proceeds to talk.

Yes. I can vouch for you both.

　Saying that, the brave man shows the seal again to the lady at the reception desk.

That's ...... thank you, sir. So, gentlemen, please put one hand on your grimoire.

　The lady showed me some machine-looking metal mages that were set up in one corner of the counter.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out more about this in the future.
　You're going to be able to find out if the magic power is absorbed by the sound of a printing machine running. At the same time, something like a plate popped out of the machine.

　I'm sure you'll find that the plate is the same size as the temporary ID card you just handed me, and it's red-copper in color. ...... river, right? There was something like a pattern engraved on the surface that gave such an impression.

"Yes, that concludes the registration. Please do not lose that plate as it will serve as your identification.

It's pretty easy, isn't it?

Well, it used to be more complicated, but then there were people who couldn't meet the criteria and the number of adventurers didn't grow very fast, so this is the way it is now, just registering your magic.

"Heh. ......

　The lady answers my questions.

　That's right, it's like a temporary worker.

　--After listening to the explanation of the system by the lady at the reception desk, the adventurer's registration is over.

"Hey, Refi. I'm done.

　Shake up Leffi, who along the way had gone off to the world of dreams altogether.

............

　After smiling at her cute little gesture of squeezing her eyes, I looked at the ID card again.

　You can find a ...... grin on her face somehow.

　I'm glad for this kind of thing, no matter how old you are. I hope you don't think I'm childish.

I'll come back later to give you your temporary ID, so that you can officially enter the city.

"Oh, thank you, Nell. Thank you.

　This is where the mysterious, bizarre, and exciting tale of the adventurer turned demon king's adventure will be spun.


　That's right, a new adventure begins now. ......!
