Me wandering through the corridors of the castle of a frontier count. It's been a long time since I've been here.



　By the way, why are all the servants dropping the laundry baskets in their hands, or looking at me with wide eyes, or pointing and whispering when they see me?



　Anyway, I knocked on the door of my father's office without worrying.

　When I opened the door..,



"Boo-hoo!　Gobho,Gobho ...... ha,Hurt?"



　My father, Gordo Semphis, the frontier count with a full beard, looked very surprised.



"Why are you here, when you are at the royal academy?



　Oh, right. I'm not in a position to just leave, am I?

　I've been back at the hermitage almost every day, sleeping and playing, so I've been walking around the castle as usual.



"For God's sake, if you're going to hide something, be very careful--"



"That's not the point, Dad."



　I feel like I've been exposed to a lot of things, but I'm going to cut right to the chase.



"I'd like to ask you a few questions about the situation in Japan."



　Dad's one eyebrow twitches.



"What?　Well, you finally ......."



　Why do you look kind of happy?

　He urged me to the parlor couch, made himself a pot of tea, and sat down in front of me.



"Now, where do I start? "Well, I don't know where to start. It is only natural that many of the children of noble families would gather at the academy. What do you want to hear?"



　I don't know anything about it because I wasn't interested in it at all.

　Let's skip the unnecessary stuff and get to the point.



"You said it before, right?　


"What?"



　Dad, you look so surprised.



"Don't tell me you've been ...... with Giselotte?　No, but there's no need for you, a child, to get your hands dirty. That's something we adults must deal with. We're the ones who've been neglecting it.



　Dad, you've turned sour for a second.

　You know I already chopped his head off once, don't you?



"Actually..."



　I hesitantly told him everything I knew. The existence of a mysterious organization called the Luciferian Order, demons, demi-gods, and so on.



　However, I kept the fact that Char had participated in some way hidden.

　I didn't want to worry him.



　My father grew pale.

　When he finished speaking, he clamped his fingers between his eyebrows and groaned, finally opening his heavy mouth.



"The Luciphira cult is an organization that plans to revive the demigod ......?"



"Yes."



"The recent disturbance in King's Landing was caused by a demon apostle and Queen Giselotte was a part of it. ......?"



"Yes, that's right."



"And the main body of the demigod possesses Gieselotte ......?"



"It seems so."



　He looked up at the ceiling, asking questions as if he were ruminating on something I had said.

　He looked up at the ceiling, and when he came back down, he put his hands on the low table and stuck his face in front of me.



"You have saved this country from a crisis!



　Then he bowed so low that he rubbed his forehead against the low table.



"No, it's because of this Shiva guy. ......"



　Dad sat down on the sofa again.



"Of course. Well, if that's what you want to call it, I'll act like it."



　Speaking of which, why didn't I tell you guys I was Shiva?



　Inertia.

　It's okay to talk about it because it's the only reason, but it's also hard to talk about because it's the only reason.



"But if Gieselotte has been taken by the demons and is no longer here, we can't afford to wait too long.



"It's still a problem, isn't it?"



"His power is unknown, but he calls himself a god. He could be a threat to this country and the world.



"Well, I'm going to make it quick. Oh, and Shiva.



　Dad, you sigh heavily.



"You talk about it as casually as you talk about pest control. Well, if you're so good, I guess that makes sense."



　But then he turns serious.



"It's going to be a rough time in the country. To avoid that, we need to get the word out to the aristocrats in advance, but ...... time is of the essence."



　Come to think of it, we shouldn't defeat Gieselotte so quickly.




　I have to make it more enjoyable for Char.



I'll handle the time. Can you do the heavy lifting I can't do?"



"d*mn you, you're a real ......."



　Dad smiles, as if he's just blown it.



"Okay. But I have to run all over the kingdom. I'm sorry, but you're gonna have to give me some time."



　I'm going to take it easy too, so I don't mind at all.



　But we're dealing with a demigod. We must be vigilant for contingencies.

　I have to cooperate with my father so that he can complete his arrangement quickly, while I have to be ready to attack his backside at any time and finish him off.



　I got up and walked briskly. I put my hand on the wall to make a .



"What the ......!



　I beckon my startled father to open the door and step inside.



"Not the next room. Is this ......?



"This is my room in Professor Tia's research building."



　It's mostly just a sleeping room, so it's very tidy.



"Transition, magic, ......?"



"I'll let you move around the country freely like this, so please tell me where to put the <>."



　Immediately after I told him this, the door to the room opened with a crack.



"Hey, there you are, Mr. Hurt. Hm?　Is that giant of a man over there ...... the Count of Zemphis Frontier?"



"What's with you all of a sudden?　You could at least knock."



　Professor Tia said, "Well, well, well," and exchanged the standard greetings with his father, such as "Hi," and "My son is indebted to you.



　Oh, but that's just fine.

　I explained briefly what I had said to my father. I also nailed Professor Tia so that only she could hear, <>.



"I have a bad feeling about this. ......"



　As expected. You get it, don't you?



"Dad, he's an aristocrat with a lot of free time on his hands, you can use him for all kinds of things."



"My freedom is mine!　But, well, I know what you want to do. Unfortunately, it's not easy to return the favor to you, so I'm going to shift my sights to your parents."



　You're a very blunt man.

　Well, if you help my dad out, I'll give you some things back. Maybe.
