Then proceeded the carriage without incident, staying overnight in a lodging town along the way, and the next day .

　Ahead of us was a port town formed in a cove with a vast blue shimmering in the sunlight.

　More than a dozen ships are lined up in the sea, and several can still be seen coming and going.

　It's quite large.
　It's probably one of the largest port towns in the country.

Wow, that's impressive!

　Seeing me squeal with delight at the sight in front of me, Nell calls out to me.

Oh, man, is this your first time in the ocean?

Uh, no, it's not my first time.

　But it has been a long time since I've seen it.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find the ocean deep within the magical forest and also the end of the horizon when you're flying ...... The area where the ocean is located is behind the mountain range in the north area, behind the west area's Ichchan and the northern area where Lephi used to live, so it's not so much a matter of "I want to see the ocean" as "I want to see the ocean. It's a place you can't go if you're feeling generous.
　You'll have to get serious gear and be prepared to spend three nights out there.

　This is the first time I've been this close to the ocean since I came to this world.

　While you are enjoying the scene in front of you, Carotta opens her mouth from the side.

This is the port city of Poza. This is the port city of Poza, and you will use it as a base for your dungeon attack. I'm sure you'll have to greet the lord here once before you go: ...... Mask, I'm sorry, but you're going to have to come with me.

"Hey boss, I'm here for you.

"...... No, I don't mean to be your boss, but ......

"Mr. Carrotta, he's usually like this all the time, so you can go through with it.

...... When I first met you, I thought you were a bit more serious.

　Then, with a wry smile, Carrotta.

　Excuse me, I always have a serious life.

　Oh, and by the way, this is totally unrelated, but I got ripped off by Trump after that.

　Well, I'm not a betting pro or anything.
　Carotta, on the other hand, is a big man who plays games on a daily basis!

　No wonder I'm a commoner - no wonder I'm a common demon king!

　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most of your time with us.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find out what's going on in the world and what's going on in the world.

　I'm sure you'll be able to find the right one for you. Marching forward.

　It's also a town of the sea, so many of the residents are tanned and dark-skinned, and their clothes are generally light.

　...... I won't go into detail because I'm sure Nellie will be staring at me, but it's a great town for a man to see. I'm not going to go into detail.

　Then, after a few minutes of walking through the harbor landscape, you'll soon see a large mansion.
　Perhaps contact was made earlier, and several servant-like figures can be seen waiting in front of the mansion.

　I guess this is the lord's house.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have arrived.

"Okay, you're up to here, thank you, Thero.

"Thank you, Mr. Theroux,

No, this is my job, sir.

　It gradually slows down, and when the carriage stops in front of the house, we get off the ramp.
　The other carriage also stops behind the one we were in, and the other holy knights get off and come toward us.

　Then, when everyone is present, one of the servants, a rather young butler, bows to us.

The holy knights are here. Let me show you to the Lord. Would you mind if I left the carriage to us?

Copy that. Selo, Nazr, help me out. --Then lead the way.


　　　* * *


I am the lord of this town, Arvel Revliard. It's a pleasure to meet you.

　We were greeted by a short, gangly man with short hair, a man of the sea, a close-cropped head, dark skin, and a tattoo on his arm.

　He has a close-cropped head, dark skin, and a tattoo on his arm.
　If you weren't facing each other in the mansion, you might mistake him for the leader of a gang at first glance.

I'm Carotta-Demeyer. It's my pleasure to meet you.

　Identifying each other, they shake hands firmly.

　The rest of us, including me, take a step back and watch their exchange.

"Let's get right to it - and, uh, ...... - but first, can I ask you one question?

"What?

Who are you?　It doesn't seem to be the Holy Knight, but if you are ......

　As if he seemed to have figured something out, he looked at me, wearing a mask, and said that while looking at me - Arbel.

Ah, this is our helper, Yi. It's a good thing that he has solid skills, that's why he's agreed to help us capture the dungeon.

Hi, nice to meet you.

　I answer with a fluttering hand.

　I'm wearing this mask because Carlotta asked me to.
　You'll be able to find out what kind of person I am by wearing the mask, since I worked very hard for Nell.

　In fact, this lad seems to have noticed it too.
　As Nell said yesterday, this mask is probably more famous now because it hides your face.

"Wow ...... this guy is ......

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

...... I'll be honest, when I heard the church was coming out, I thought, "Who the hell does the clergyman think he is? ...... It seems that I was underestimating you guys.

"It seems that Mister Abel's plainspoken manner is just as they say.

　Carotta said with a wry smile, and Arbel cowered his shoulders.

I'm sorry, men of the sea are like that. On the ship, we are all doomed. Therefore, the most important thing is trust. You can't board a ship with someone you can't trust, and since that's the case, it's imperative that you know what kind of guy you're dealing with beforehand.



Oh, I see. So do you think you'll be able to judge if we're allowed in the same boat?

You have brought me to the Lord of the Brave and even brought such a person with you, I understand that you are serious about coming here. So we'll welcome you with an appropriate attitude. --Welcome to the port of the port. We welcome you as our own people.


　　　* * *


"...... never thought the church would be so serious about it,

　After the group of holy knights returned from the mansion, Arvel muttered to himself.

The head of the head ...... even brought a brave man.

　At the words of his Lord, his subordinate in the room - a young steward - stopped using words as an afterthought and countered with a carefree look.

The same goes for the brave girl. There's also the "swordswoman" and the "mask". You've brought the best the church has to offer, don't you?

"I thought you said the man in the mask does not belong to the church.　In fact, they didn't even seem to be wearing the armor that the holy knights wore.

That's not so important. In fact, as long as we're acting as friends of the Church, we're on their side. You are on their side. ...... Yeah, but I see. It's rather questionable that you came here with a guy who doesn't belong to the church.

　The young butler is silent for a moment, then opens his mouth again.

...... What in the world is the purpose of this?

"Well, well. I'd be happy to have you focus only on the dungeon attack, as you ostensibly claim. --Well, the church is a tricky thing to deal with. I'm told that she's quite good at it. There's no need to get along with her. And now that you've said you're welcome, you can tell the townspeople to be friendly.

"Copy that, head.

"And you, stop calling me head here. Now you're a great, great lord.

"Ha, my lord. Forgive me, my lord.

　You'll be able to find a lot more than one way to get the most out of it.

I'm sure you'll be able to find out for now. There is no doubt that they are strong. We need you to help us defeat them.

　So saying, the lord rested his body on the back of the chair and turned his head towards where they had gone.
