Onii-san! I think you should be more careful how you treat me!

Wow, I'm sorry. But you know, I talked to him before I flew.

"What do you expect me to do with 'Don't raise your voice. What the hell do you want me to think about when you say 'Don't raise your voice'!

　Yes, I'm sorry. I'm not going to lie, I was a little convinced.

Yeah, look, the guards are here, so we'll come back later for now.

　It's a very good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

　You'll be able to see a hostile reaction on the map when you look at the city from the sky, and you can hear the sound of metal parts of your armor clinking from that direction.

　Incidentally, I activated a feature long ago that allows you to see hostile reactions even when you are not in a dungeon area, so as long as you have filled in the map, you will be able to see the enemy's location right away.

　It has become apparent recently that this map display feature seems to know the terrain by interfering with the magic in space and obtaining information on the location of potential enemies.

　The image may be similar to the ultrasound used by dolphins or the active sonar on board fishing boats and warships.

　By paying DP, you can get this effect by modifying my body's sensitivity to magic.

　That means I'm an altered human being. I'm not human.
　Yeah! Or should I squeal?

"...... tsk ...... here, guy. Follow me.

　Brother, I don't think it's a good idea for a girl to stick her tongue out.

　I'm a little relieved to see that she started to walk quickly, and I started to do the same, patting my chest in relief.


　　　✳︎ ✳︎


　Clank, clank, clank, the footsteps of two people walking down the cobblestone street echo, and they are sucked into the wall of a building that stands beside them, and then they disappear.
　There is no other sound, and not a single human figure is missing.

...... It's so quiet.

　As I was walking around looking around, I couldn't help but mutter to myself.

　It wasn't even that late, but the streets were completely still, and a deserted air surrounded the area.

　As for the size of the city, I think it's called "Alfilo" where Reffi and I went sightseeing? It's much bigger than this, but the lack of vitality makes it seem somewhat lonely.

A while ago, there was still a lot of activity at this time of day. ...... Maybe people feel unsafe and stay indoors.

Well, I guess so. It would be a matter of life and death for them.

　I've never seen it in person, so I may be biased, but I'm sure there have been times when I've been hounded and arrested for some shitty reason, or cut down, or whatever.

　That's what military control is all about. I was a history major in a previous life, so I know that area pretty well.

It's not just a matter of time before you get your hands on a new one.

"Huh? That's a disguise. I'm the demon king. And I don't want the church to remember my face from a hostile force.

　What I'm wearing is a white mask with a thin line under both eyes, a star under the left eye, a drop under the right eye, and a grin on the mouth, vaguely reminiscent of a clown.

　I liked it from the first sight when I took out various disguises in the DP catalog, and I kept it in my item box.
　You can't see much when you wear it, but I've been wearing it. It's just for the disguise. Oh well.

　...... Yes, that's a lie. It's just a cool design, so I wear it. I'm just wearing it because it's a cool design. I said it twice because it's important.

I don't think there's any point in hiding your face ...... or, you know, it's really okay, right? I've brought the Demon King with me, and I'm in a lot of trouble too. ......

"It's okay, okay, I can afford it.

...... And if someone tells you that you can't go inside, you have to give up, right? You can't force me.

I know, I know. I know, I know.

　At that time, it's just a matter of me doing my own thing.

　I mean, well, even if you let me in, I'll just do it on my own.
　We don't have to align ourselves with the forces of this church. All I want is the achievement that they defeated the prince, nothing else matters.
　Then we don't have to come here, but I want information. That's why I've come here.

　Well, let's see what they do, and then we'll decide what we'll do too.

I don't feel safe at all, but I've arrived at ...... anyway, man.

　A little anxiously, the brave woman stopped in front of a building that at first glance looks like just another raggedy building in a back alley.

　Without hesitation, she stood in the doorway and knocked on the tattered door in a unique and constant rhythm.
　Immediately, a muffled man's voice comes back from the other side of the door.

"--to the end.

"Spinning

　And then, with a click, the top of the doorknob is opened to the side, and an arm is stretched out from there.

"Get Sigil.

　The brave man took from his pocket the seal he had used before and handed it to his arm.

　After a few moments, the man's voice replied again, as if he had received confirmation.

...... We've been waiting for you, Mr. Brave. It's good to see you back. I'm sorry to trouble you, but I will send for someone who can identify you, so please wait a moment. Please be patient for a while.

　With those words, the last sign of people from behind the door slipped away.

　I let out a single emotional murmur as they interacted.

"Oh, ...... now that's so cool, it's like a secret organization.

"...... Onii-san, I hope you don't say those things even if you think about them.

　Hey, I'm sorry.

"--Nell!



　And then, the tattered door slammed down with such force that it looked like it was going to break down! and a woman pops out from inside.

Oh--Mr. Carlotta!

　The woman jumped out and hugged the brave man, and he also put his arms around her waist.

　It is a beautiful woman with a shrewd appearance, but also a strong-willed woman with a strong impression of victory.

　You'll be able to see that this woman is also related to the church as she wears light armor of the same design as the brave man wears. You'll be able to find out what kind of a holy knight he is.

It's a good thing we were worried about her because she was lost for a while ...... and also because the royal city was under heavy guard and had almost no contact with the outside world. I'm amazed that they were able to get inside.

　It's a good thing that the knight, with a loving look of affection in her guise, and with the affectionate gaze of an older sister who worries about her sister, speaks to the brave man.

I'm sorry, I failed in my command ......

It's okay, it was a crazy order from above to begin with. As long as Nell is okay, that's all that matters.

　The orders are: ...... Ah, the one that came to our house.
　The guy who came to our house?

I'd like to introduce you to this person, Mr. Carrotta: ......

"...... this guy?

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

　It's a good idea to be able to have a good time with them.

It's my ...... squire. We have a chance to be together for a while now. I'm trustworthy and very skilled, so I thought I'd bring him along with me to see if he'd be useful in this case as well. ......

Hi, Squire Yi.

　Toward the female knight, raising one hand in greeting.

Are you sure you can trust ......? Funny masked but ......

"Ummm, yeah, I know I'm wearing a funny mask, but I'm not a bad person. ......


　Oh, I'm listening if you have a problem with my super cool mask.
