"Huh?"

　As the carriage drawn by Tenma continued to gallop through the sky, Mizuki suddenly shouted out.

"--The atmosphere has changed. The air is heavier, or perhaps the magic in the air is thicker?　It's a little hard for a non-magician like me to get used to."

"Maybe so. If anything, I'm a little more comfortable.

"I guess it's different when you're a wizard, huh?"

"How about you, Lady Catherine?"

"Well, I don't know. I don't feel anything strange either.

　Sam also looked out the window from behind Mizuki, but the scenery had not changed much.

　It is not that the sky is purple or that the dense, dark forests are eerie.

　However, compared to the eastern side of the continent, there is more magic.

　The feeling is a little different for Mizuki, who is not a magician, but for Sam, the thick magical power is pleasant.

"Hey!　Sam!　Look at that!"

　Mizuki notices something and raises her voice and points.

　Turning his eyes in the direction she pointed, Sam gulped.

"What is that?"

　There was a large crack in the earth that stretched out in the direction the carriage was traveling.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The crack looked as if it had been gouged straight through, and its depth was unknown.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　It looked like a huge valley.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　However, Sam's eyes somehow understood that the crack in front of him was not natural but man-made.

"Yeah, most people are surprised when they see that."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What is that?　It's not natural, is it?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Yes, it was made by a blow from Master Lepsey."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"-- what?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　I didn't understand what Zoey meant.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam wasn't the only one.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Mizuki and even Katherine looked back at Zoey and stiffened.

"There used to be a big human kingdom around here before the battle with the heroes, but it was destroyed by the Lepsi when they messed with them. That's what's left of it."

"...... That's funny, that is. What kind of a mess do you have to make to get them to go this far?"

"Master Lepsey had many servants in addition to his own household. The benevolent Master Lepsy protected those who had nowhere else to go and gave them shelter, food, and jobs. The humans were very grateful. However, there were people who did not think well of those who were saved by Leprosy. That is the country. Foolishly, they announced that they would purge Master Lepsey and his men, and the result was that not a single one of them was left standing. It happens all the time.

"Well, is it common?"

　Zoe says to Mizuki, who has a drawn face, in a matter-of-fact way, as if nothing is wrong.

"In the old days, before the Kingdom of Skye was founded, there were many demons and humans living in great numbers on the west side of the continent, and there were many conflicts. Especially, humans believed in a god whose name escapes me, and there was a widespread belief that the demons were evil. But there is no religion anymore.

"So is it peaceful then?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

There can be no peace. There are still human nations. Some of them are under the protection of the Demon King. It's all about fighting."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"The Demon King doesn't rule, does he?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"In fact, it is fair to say that the demon kings rule the western part of the continent, but there are a certain number of humans and demon tribe members who do not approve of this.

　Zoe cowered her shoulders, but Sam, Mizuki, and Catherine did not know how to react.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If even someone with such overwhelming power as the Demon Lord could not eliminate conflict, they wondered how long humans, or any other living creature for that matter, would have to fight.

(--But still, I didn't know that a leprosy had the power to tear the earth apart. How many times stronger than my skill?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Perhaps the lepers who fought in the basement of the royal palace were skimping because they wanted to die.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　If they could tear up the earth, they could have easily killed themselves right there, even if they were not at their peak strength.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

(I mean, aren't the brave men of the Sky Kingdom pretty strong who defeated and sealed the Lepsies even if they couldn't kill the Lepsies with such power?)

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　We do not know what kind of power the heroes had, but they must have been at least as powerful as the Demon King.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　No, it is possible that the strong but kind-hearted Demon Lord was defeated willingly so that he would not run amok any more out of hatred.

"You know what, Zoe?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"What?"

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Lepsey, maybe ...... no, nothing."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　He refrains from talking about hypotheticals now that the man himself is dead.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Zoe gave Sam a gentle look.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"Master Lepsey has always had a bitter look on his face," said Zoe. I think she cried in her heart every time she lost herself in revenge and laid waste to humans. But now he must be at peace. That is all that matters."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

"...... I see."

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Zoe did not say anything about Lepsey after that.

　In the meantime, the carriage continued on, driving over the rift in the earth.

"Come on, let's get out of here. We are only a few hours away from Vivian's night country.

　Zoey's words send Sam and the others into a nervous tailspin.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　They have already entered the realm of the demons.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　The thought of what encounters and events are to come makes them anxious - and more than that, excited.

Read at https://w w w . m t l r e a d e r.com

　Sam looked forward to meeting the Demon King with anxiety and even more anticipation in his heart.
