"Oh. So you've already made friends with the elf and the dragon man?

Yes, I have. Especially the dragon man, he was unnaturally grateful.

Even I didn't expect to get along with dragons. I can't sleep at night wondering what Richt did to him.

　In the midst of the periodic confirmation of the dead, Dorothy and Richt were having a good time with some idle chitchat.

　It seems that in this dystopia, where there are many different species, there are many opportunities for them to work together due to their common humanity.
　He is a good friend to Richt, who can share the troubles peculiar to humans.

But it seems that the Demon Lord is keen on the outside world these days. I'm not sure if he's trying to rule the world or not.

I don't know about ......, but I heard that he had a painful experience a hundred years ago, so maybe that lesson is being applied.

　In what could be described as a continuation of small talk, Dorothy brought up the recent Aria.
　As there are examples of elves and dragons, Aria now tends to accept other races.

　Since I have no intention of disobeying the order anyway, it is certain to be a useless consideration, but it is human nature to be curious nonetheless.
　The conversation gradually heats up.

A hundred years ago ......, there was a story about that. Was it taboo to ask about it?

"Yeah. I tried to ask him about it the other day, but he got angry and locked me in his room.

Something must have happened to him. ......

Maybe that's really why they're trying to build up their forces. It's not like we're trying to dominate by force.

Hmmm. ......

　The two humans' baseless musings begin to make me wonder where they're going.
　In fact, they weren't really trying to figure it out, they were just enjoying it as a way to kill time.

If we think about it in terms of strength, we still can't beat the human nation. If we put all our strength into it, we'll be outnumbered and outgunned. Well, I don't know much about the current human world.

This is just a rumor, but I've heard that the king has something hidden.

Something like a weapon or a monster?

　If you compare the current dystopia with the human world, you will inevitably find that the human world has the upper hand.
　Even though their individual strength is overwhelming, they are at such a numerical disadvantage that they are crushed.

　Humans had the strength of swarming ants.

We don't know that, and that's why we're afraid. I've already reported it to Aria, so I'm sure she's got something in mind.

"It would be nice if we could do some research. I wish I could investigate, but Richt's face is so well known that it would be hard for me to go there.


Oh, Mr. Richt, Dorothy. Hello.

　Just when the discussion was boiling down.
　Just as the discussion was boiling down, Rosé appeared with a bat, looking like she was in a hurry.

"What?　I'm not sure what to do.

I'm not sure.　I'm not sure what to do.

It seems like a big deal. I heard that another demon lord in the east had a fight with him.

...... Looks like we talked a little too much. Let's hurry up, Richt.

　It seems that the dimension of the battle had grown even larger while Richt and the others were talking about random things.
　The three of them hurried to Aria to get the details.
