A light emerges from a corner of the forest where countless scars are carved into the ground.
　It's a dark, but warm, magical (mana) light.
　Invited by such a soft light, the spirits of wind and water tried to shift, and a soft wind ran towards the village where the spirits were blessed.

　In terms of scale, the battle in the elven village was nothing more than a skirmish, a skirmish that had happened by accident.
　But that's why the winner would get everything and all would not be well.

　In fact, from the point of view of the elven village, if they were to use this defeat as an opportunity to bring in more forces, there would be no way to resist the invasion of a demon tribe claiming to be a nation.

　Besides, the war itself had a rather strange outcome.
　A masked mage who suddenly burst in and killed the enemy's general, an extraordinary situation occurred. After that, when the mages started attacking indiscriminately, it seems that the two armies were already not even in a state of war.
　The demon army still hasn't been defeated, and if you think so, there's even the possibility that another war will occur soon.
　That's why the Elf side is the one who has to be careful in handling the post-war process.

　There was a heavy air between the elder Grace and the deputy djinn of the Elven village and the chief of staff, Filnelia, who were facing each other.
　It was a battle that had caused a good number of deaths on both sides.
　For the elven village, it was also a battle to get over the tragedy of twenty years ago.
　Both sides will have their own thoughts on the matter.

　Aisha and Nahat, who were only outsiders, could fully understand that.
　That's why Aisha couldn't hold back and opened her mouth.



　Yes, the post-war process is about to take place right now.
　In front of a table surrounded by Nacht's family.

It's a good thing that you're not the only one," said Aisha, "but we can't ignore the wishes of Lord Nacht and the chief, who were the main architects of this war. And if we want to see who wins the war, Nahat is the sole victor. Well, just listen to what we have to say and continue eating.

　Saying that, Grace turned her calm gaze to Aisha.
　However, Aisha was severely shy and her heart was petty. She was unwilling to take her food brazenly while under the quiet pressure of the quiet pressure, but her hands had stopped.
　Unable to resist, Aisha sent Nahat a look that seemed to call for help.
　Then, primarily, he would have to meet Aisha's expectations.

'Hmm--ah, shall I do it for you?'

Not that!　You need to do something about this situation!

　Nacht laughed at Aisha, who shouted, breathing hard, and Nacht laughed back, saying he was just kidding.
　As for Nacht, he had no intention of interfering in the agreement between the elves and the demon race. Although Nacht was the one who started the war, he was only interrupting as an outsider. So I can say that there is no need to pay attention to Nacht in this way.
　It's a good thing that you're not going to be able to get a good idea of what you're looking for.

'Well, the battle is already decided. "Well, the battle is already decided. Therefore, there should be a truce, if not peace, then a truce.

　The problem was the condition.

We, the elves, want the demon king's army to leave our village. We will not ask for compensation for damages if you pull up your camp and open the door. If possible, we would like to sign a non-aggression pact for the next few years, but I don't suppose you have the authority to do that, do you?

　When asked that, Jin opened his mouth, somewhat stunned.

''Hmm, well what is it.......I don't know the difficult stuff, so ask that woman over there.......''

　It had been healed, but there were painful scars all over Djinn's body. The djinn that had been attacked by the masked mage had nearly died. If it weren't for Nacht's potion, he might have died.
　However, even more than its appearance, the djinn appeared to be heartbroken.

''Huh... well, you can leave that idiot alone... so let's get on with it... well, as you say, I'm the one who's in charge of concluding the non-aggression pact. We don't have the authority nor do we wish to fight with the Ear Chiefs, but the problem is, even if we are asked to leave, it's hard to do it right now. ..........

What do you mean?

''As you know, we came to this land from the Demon Continent through that door. , without the bloodline of a brave or demon king, or a dragon class magic power, the door won't move.........

So does that mean that you can't go home now, even if you wanted to?

Yes, that's right.

Hmm.
　Grace dropped her gaze a bit and let out a breath.

''By the way, how have you been traveling between the Demon Continent and this side until now?''

''At first that masked mage opened the door... and then it's up to Erin-sama's mood to come visit on a whim...''

　Firnelia answered that to Nacht's question.
　I can't help but wonder if a group that calls itself an army, even if it were to call itself an army, would be fine with such an about-face.

I'd have to stop for food locally, but I'd be too scared to complain about the Demon King's bloodline... haha I want to go home to my parents. ..........

　The struggling man on the demon race side was complaining unintentionally, even though it was a public place.
　It's not easy having a moody boss, Nahat agreed, putting himself on the shelf. Erin was missing a lot of aspects, and there were several holes in information control and other things that could be seen.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to make the most out of it, but it's not an option, because the impression of the demons I've met so far is that forcefulness is the right thing to do.

Then, the demon tribe's intention is to leave this place, is it okay to leave?

　Grace asks to confirm.

'Well I guess I would have probably been more desperate a while ago...' ...I'm sure they had all sorts of reasons to complicate things and call for reinforcements... but not now.

'Well, what does that mean?'

　Aisha listened to Filnelia's words reluctantly.

'The value of a base is something that changes depending on the circumstances, Aisha.

　Nacht answers Aisha's question as a matter of course.

''You heard the Demon King-sama's voice, right?　In the past, there was hardly any way to travel between the Demon Continent and this continent except for this great transport gate, so this place was the most important base that must be protected... ...

But the Demon Continent has already come out in the open.

　By the power of the ultimate treasure (Ultimate Item), of all things.

''Now we can cross to the Demon Continent even by ship. ...I don't think you need to dwell on this right now. It's not for me to judge but I'm sure they're going to blame me for their failure and I'm going to take the blame for a lot of terrible things. You can, I'm a succubus...

　Too many years have passed since the Elven home lost touch with the rest of the world. It is safe to say that few people know of this door's existence.
　Originally, it was located in an extremely dangerous forest that not even adventurers could approach, and opening the door would require an enormous amount of magical power. Even if they found out about it, they wouldn't be able to advance their army into the forest, and it would be extremely difficult to use the door to attack the Demon Continent.
　In the worst case scenario, even if the door itself was destroyed, the demon race would not be troubled at present.

''It's probably too late to say it now, but I never intended to fight with the elven village.......General Gailzak never intended for the clash of twenty years ago either--the extremists of the demon tribe army. .........No, it must have been that masked mage's sole decision......

"Well, we can't easily solve emotional problems and I'm not without my own ideas, but at least my village is now, Nacht. I'm trying to move forward with the help of That's why what's to come is so important.

We could destroy the door itself, at least, so the most invasive part of the city doesn't happen.

　And when Nacht uttered the words.

No. Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

　Shtel, who was engrossed in his lunch of meat pasta, shouted aloud.

'What's going on, Shtel?'

　Shtel shouts to a panicked Aisha.

'Shtel, he asked for me!　A brave man asked me to protect him!　So no, no!

　As soon as Shtel uttered that, the decision was made in Nacht's mind.
　Nacht smiles at Shtel, who is desperately pleading with him. Then he gently strokes her soft golden hair.

'No breaking it, so don't worry, Shtel.

　Shtel chuckled as she was stroked on the head.

''I love you, mommy!''

I love you too, Stern.

　After a brief moment of lovemaking with his daughter, Nacht said with satisfaction.

"I suppose we'll have to talk about it once, then...

Oh, um...what does that...mean...what does it mean...?

　Aisha asks with great anxiety.
　She must have sensed exactly what Nacht's inner feelings were.
　Aisha's eyes told the story.
　She's definitely not thinking of anything fragile, she said.
　Nacht said as if to admonish Aisha.

This village is Aisha's mother's hometown.

Yes, sir.

I mean, it's like a second home for Aisha, isn't it?

Yes, sir.

'That hometown is now finally trying to move on. Wouldn't you want such a small hometown to be in fear of being invaded at any moment?

　Aisha couldn't help but nod at Nacht's good argument.

'But even if you wish for inviolability, we have no authority in Firnelia to assure you of that. If that is the case, what do you think we should do?'

Do you have any, uh... um... important people coming in?
　Nacht smiles at Aisha's words.
　It's the smile of a little devil who has come up with a prank.

'Aisha, I'm not very good at waiting. You know that, don't you?

Yes, yes....

So there is only one conclusion.

　Aisha nodded, as if giving up.

''Let's just fancy it as punching into the Demon Continent!

　Nacht had a very, very pleasant smile on his face, in contrast to Aisha.
