I turned to face the others.


I turned to face everyone and said, "Everyone, listen up, there's a horde of dark demons heading for King's Landing.


　I said.

　When I said this, there was a small murmur at first, but it gradually spread.


"Da, a dark demon?
I'm sure I've read about them!　I've read about them in a book! They're a kind of demon tribe. ......
"Demons?　The schoolyard was in a state of panic.


　The schoolyard was in a state of panic.

　The schoolyard was in a state of panic. In order to calm everyone down, I consciously told them in a calm tone of voice: "But everyone, don't worry.

But don't worry, everyone. Dark Demons are indeed a kind of demon race, but they are also lowly. It's not that big of a deal.
""Of course not!"

　I'm sure you've heard of it.
　I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea. ...... In a world where magical civilization is in decline, the word "demon" will confuse even the lower species.

I'm sure you'll agree. I'm sure you'll be able to find something that works for you.

　I'm sure you've heard of it, but I've never heard of it.

I'm not sure how many I've seen, but I'm pretty sure it's more than 20.
"Twenty?
At this rate, we'll reach the capital in about fifteen minutes.

　It's a great city, but it's not well warded.
　I'm not sure what to make of this, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

"Kurt!　What should I do!
If we don't do something, King's Landing will be destroyed!

　Lara and Marise brought their faces close to mine.
　I'm not so naive as to allow the Dark Demon to invade the capital. ......

I'm not sure if you've heard of it or not.
No, it's not like you're going shopping. ......
I'm coming with you!　I can't let you go alone, Kurt.
No, ...... I'm on my own this time. It's too much for both of us. Besides, there's still some work I need you both to do.

　Besides, it would take a long time to get to the Dark Demon with the two of you.
　It will be quicker and more convenient for me to go alone.

But ......!
"But !" "You two think I'm going to let a dark demon get me?

　I said, and they closed their mouths.

All right, ......, but you've got to come back alive!
I'm not going to let you die without me!

　You're overreacting.
　You're overreacting. Well, you're going to war, that's for sure.

Oh, ......, and Cynthia.
"Hmm?

　I'm not sure if you've heard of it, but I've heard of it.

All right, ......, I trust Kurt.

　Cynthia put her hand on my chest and replied with strong words.
　Now I'm ready for this.

　Then I waved to everyone and left the school.



　Then I strengthened my body with magic.
　I walked out of the capital, across the empty plains, and reached the Dark Demon.

They don't seem to have noticed me yet.

　The cloaking spell seems to be working.

　When I looked up at the sky, I saw a swarm of dark demons flying through the air, wings buzzing.
　There were twenty-four of them at ....... It'll only take a second.

Now, ...... let's get on with it.

　I raised my palms to the sky and formed a magic formula.
　And then I use the light magic Sanctuary Phantom.

I'll be back.　What the hell!　What's going on here?
I don't understand!　I don't know! All of a sudden, there's a flash of light at .......
"Is this a human attack?　I don't know what's happening!

　The Dark Demon has been attacked by a glowing bullet and is apparently in disarray.
　The formation is broken.

　The Sanctuary Phantom is a spell that bombards you with light bullets.
　Each of the light bullets is powerful enough to destroy a dormitory in a single shot, and they also have an automatic tracking function.
　Therefore, it is possible to hit even those who are flying in the sky with light bullets.

　The light bullets hit the Dark Demon's body and wings, and one by one, they crash down to the ground.

"Good. I'm going to finish him off.
"What the hell are you?
It's a human.

　He draws his sword and hunts down the dark demons one by one as they fall to the ground.


　At this point, it would be safe to break the cloaking spell.


　And ...... five minutes later, he had eradicated every last one of the dark demons that had been there.


You can't take a ...... dark demon seriously, after all.

　He waved his hand away with a pang.
　You'll be able to take the dark demon back and get materials to process it into weapons and items for future use. ...... It's a waste of magic to devote it to storage magic.
　And there was something else on my mind.

I'll just hurry back to King's Landing.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.


"Don't worry, I've killed all the dark demons.


　I went back to the others and told them so to reassure them.
　The students in the schoolyard cheered when they saw me.


"Kurt's done it again!
What the hell was that light?　We don't know what's going on. ......
Before we knew it, peace was restored to King's Landing!
I'm not sure what happened, but I don't know.


　We were fighting a little far from King's Landing.
　It would seem to everyone that the battle was over before they knew what was going on.

　It's more like .......

"Lara, Marlies. Have you seen Cynthia?

　I looked around, but I couldn't see Cynthia.

Well, she's not here!
She must have gone back to the school building.　It's safer than being outside. ...... Some of the students have gone indoors, too.

　Lara panicked and Marise crossed her arms.
　Marise crossed her arms and said, "Maybe she's right.
　But this is .......

So it's a distraction.

　Yes.
　The Dark Demon's attack was just a decoy to draw our attention.

What? ...... So Cynthia is ......
Yeah, maybe someone took her.
Well, that's not good!
Well, if we just let her go, we're in trouble.
Why is Kurt so calm?
...... Well, I can trace Cynthia's magic and find out where she is.

　I'm sorry Cynthia, but I wanted to know what they were thinking.

So you're saying that ...... you let her swim on purpose?
That's what I'm saying.

　In the event that you've got a lot of time, you'll be able to take a look at a few of the best ways to get the most out of your time.
　And ...... I have a pretty good idea who took Cynthia in a hurry.
　If no one noticed that there were so many people, then the other party might be able to use a transfer magic or two.

Just in case, Cynthia has also been given some warding spells. It's also concealed, so I don't think they're aware of it. ......
But if ...... Kurt was right, why did they take Cynthia?

　Marise posed the question.

It's probably because of Cynthia's magic.
"Cynthia's magic ......?
Yeah. I'll explain more later. We need to get Cynthia out of there as soon as possible.

　Trace ...... Yeah. Apparently, Cynthia was taken to the roof of the school building.

　As I was heading up there, Lara and Marise grabbed me by the hem of my dress.

"Wait, wait!　I'm coming with you this time!
Me too.
I'm glad they feel that way. But, ......, I have more important work for you to do.
"More important work?

　They nodded their heads.

"The Dark Demon has been defeated. But there's still a horde of demons heading for King's Landing later.
Are you sure about that?
Yeah. If we don't do anything, the demons will hit the capital in thirty minutes. I want you two to defeat that demon before it gets there.

　Of course, I'll join you if I can, but at this rate it's going to take some time.

　When I told them that, they both looked worried.

"Can we do it ......?
"Don't worry. From what I can tell, they're strong enough. I trust you guys, that's why I can trust you with something like this.

　I put my hand on their shoulders and encouraged them.

"Yeah, yeah!　I'll do my best!
You got Kurt's seal of approval. I think I can do anything with that.

　Then both of them clenched their fists.
　Hmmm. At this rate, I guess there's nothing to worry about.



Well, you two are in good hands at .......
Kurt, too!

　I'll do my job first.
　Let's get to the roof.
