These vibrations aren't earthquakes - they're the signs of a major change in the dominant realm.

　I picked up my smartphone to check on the state of the dominion field.

　-- The ground in front of him glowed with a pentagram, and a small figure emerged from the dazzling light.

　An insect?　Or is that the little guy?

　The small figure that appeared was a bespectacled girl with long, soft, lime green, long hair with a pair of crystal-clear, butterfly-like wings on her back.

　On the smartphone I had just glanced at, there was a very important-looking text written on it. And in front of me was a girl with a mysterious feather.

　Now, there's an information overload. Where do we start and what should we process?

　The girl in front of her floating eyes looks at her outstretched hands as if checking herself.

　No harm done, right?

　I left the girl who was scurrying around and looking around after me and checked the screen of my smartphone.

　--!

　

　It's not like I'm shy or anything, what should I say to her?　...It's a pain in the ass. Not that I thought that, but I checked my smartphone first, and I'm proud of my decision.

　The smartphone has--.

The Demon King's domain is now under control.

　＞＞Dissimilar molecules are now ready to be expelled to unify the realm of control.

　＞＞I've successfully ejected the dissimilar molecule. Integration of the dominant domain.

　＞＞I've successfully integrated the dominant domain. Pseudo-peace is now granted for 24 hours.

　Arrow after arrow, important information displayed.

　Discharge of xenomorphs. 24 hours of [pseudo-peace]. The impact of these two points is immense.

　I continued, trying to check the status in the dominant area.

'Excuse me?　Do you hear me?　Do you see it?

　A faint voice interrupts my thoughts.

　I look up and look at the girl who is the owner of the faint voice.

''Ah!　I've noticed!　Well, it's nice to meet you I'm Kanon.

　The girl with the floating glasses - the canon bows her head in petticoat.

''Well it's nice to meet you. I'm Sion.''

　In contrast, I, too, bow lightly to Kanon.

''Huh........ I was startled. The person in front of me ignored me and operated the smartphone while I was suddenly transported to an unknown location. I was sure that the person in front of me couldn't see me.
　Kanon pounds his chest in relief.

'I mean, what the heck... sorry...'
　How am I supposed to respond?　At any rate, I apologized.

'No, no, no!　Master Zion has saved my life. I'm sorry to have bothered you at this busy time of year, and I'm sorry too.
　Kanon hurriedly waved his hand and finally bowed his head with pettiness.

　It's a peculiarly Japanese game of apology. I've lost all my memories of people, but this exchange feels nostalgic.

　And then there was a moment of silence.

　As a lonely person, I couldn't possibly come up with a topic to break the silence. I build a plan in my head for what I should do from now on, given the situation I'm in.

　I have 24 hours to do this. The former demon king's girl, who is now under my control, is in an expanded area of control.

　As I recall, this girl - the canon will be self-reported, but her knowledge should be B. We should gather information first. But, speaking of information, what should I ask?　It's really hard to ask a free question when you don't know how much information you're dealing with.

　Ah!?

　I come up with the best I can.

'Well....'
Um....

　Oddly enough, both of us raise our voices at the same time, breaking the silence. As a result of the typical Japanese concession to each other, "Come in, come in," the right to speak is mine.

"Well.....
Yes?
Can I bite you?
...What?

　The girl who held the right to live and die in my hands had a don't-so-distant look on her face.


　　◆


　After that, I piled on the words of defense in an awkward atmosphere of absolute zero.

''In other words, I need the information I got from your knowledge B, so I need to make a quick 'absorption'...'''

Oh, well I understand what you're trying to say, Master Zion.

Well, then....

"I understand and tell you that if you absorb my life, you will not absorb my knowledge.

Huh?　Is that right?

　I let out a goofy voice.

''Yes. You can try it, but the only abilities that can be gained by absorbing my life are my unique ability, Instantaneous Memory, and the tribal abilities, Language (Fairy) and Natural Manipulation. You cannot absorb abilities that are dependent on your status.

What?　Seriously?

''Seriously. To add to that, 《Instantaneous Memory》 is the ability to instantly remember what you see once. Language (Fairy) is the ability to understand the language of the fairy species. With this ability, you can understand the language of goblins, so it could be said to be upwardly compatible with "Language (Goblin). 《Natural Operations》 is the ability to interfere with natural phenomena, but...

　《Natural Manipulation》. It seems to be an extremely powerful ability in terms of its name.

''It's easier to convey this if you practice it.

　Kanon says, and thrusts his hands out and reminds him.

　--Hugh.........

　A gentle breeze caresses my cheek.

''Uh, Dark Elf-san. Can you use a simple fire magic?

　Kanon speaks to the dark elf, and I nod silently as the dark elf who spoke to me looks at me, as if to confirm it.

　The dark elf sticks out his right hand and reminds himself.

　The mass of fire generated lands on the empty ground. Remaining fire flickers in its wake, almost extinguished.

　The canon thrusts out both hands into the remaining fire and reminds.

　--Bopp!

　The remaining fire flickered wildly for a moment.

''Huh.... It's like this.

　Kanon lets out a breath and returns his gaze to me.

''You mean...?''

Natural Manipulation can interfere with natural phenomena such as fire, water and wind, but it can only interfere with what we've just shown you. Also, it cannot interfere with magic. To use the current phenomenon as an analogy, it cannot interfere with the Fireball fired by the Dark Elf, but it can interfere with the fire generated by the Fireball.

You can't control the fire or the wind...?

I'm sure you will.

　《Natural Manipulation》. Despite the name, it was a cute special ability, or perhaps it should be called a fairy prank.

''I understand the 《Natural Manipulation》.......it was a disappointing result, but....... On a different note, may I ask you one question?

Yes. What can I do for you?

Didn't you talk to the Dark Elf earlier?

''Yes. Dark Elf-san can use fire magic.

'Do you understand the language of the dark elves?　Or are dark elves an elf species?

'I understand what you said, Dark Elf. By the way, Mr. Dark Elf is an elven species.

Your special ability is called language, right?　How do you know that?

Huh?　The ability that Master Zion can absorb is called the Language (Fairy Type), and I have mastered the Language (Subhuman A), the Language (Subhuman B), the Language (Demon), the Language (Celestial), the Language (Race), the Language (Slime), the Language (Beast), and the Language (Spirit Species).

What?

Uh, the dark elf's language can be understood through Language (Sub-Race B). By the way, it's an ability that can be acquired through knowledge D.

Huh?　I mean, if you grew your knowledge status, could you understand the language of another species?

　My head is on the verge of a flat tire from the massive wave of information coming from canon.

''Yes. When your knowledge reaches B, you acquire 《language (race)》, this is the ability to understand all languages other than Japanese.......English, German, Chinese and so on. I studied English so hard a long time ago... it's so sad, isn't it?

　Kanon chuckled jokingly.
