This is the wavelength of Frase's sound. This is the middle class and this is the higher class. It seems that the sound can be heard even if it traverses space before it appears, so if you use that, you should be able to get a rough idea of the number and class.

　Parshe in her priestess outfit explained as she manipulated the images floating on the "storehouse" monolith. She was making various observations from the outside during this battle.

''Can you determine where and when it will appear?''
It's possible to measure the distortion of space and predict when the space will be ruptured based on its size and distortion rate. There will be a gap of two or three days, but I don't think it will be that big a gap.

　I think two or three days is quite a long gap, but I guess it's acceptable. And this time it was off by about three days.

Can we use this data to make some kind of radar that predicts the appearance of Fraise?
I think you can. But I don't think it will be possible to cover such a wide area.

　Still, it's nice to be able to predict their appearance. If you make more than one, you'll be able to cover a large area. Let's get Rosetta to make one right away.
　Rosetta is currently assembling Sue's frame gear, but I'll have her prioritize this one. If we can predict the appearance of Fraise, we'll have time to plan our countermeasures.
　When I went to the 'workshop' and asked Rosetta to produce the Frase radar, she lightly snapped at me.

''Ugh! We can't do that much here and there! I am alone!

　Correction. I was pissed as hard as I could. It's understandable. We're always short of people. We've added some mini-robots, but we could use some more help.




And that's why I'm here?
Yes.

　In the end, I decided to ask Liora, who was in Babylon's castle, to help me. Or rather, I didn't have a choice........ I couldn't leave it to a clumsy kid, a print addict, or a sleepwalker.

'I understand. I was supporting you, so I'm sure I can help you to a certain extent.

　That's the eldest daughter of Babylon. I know what you're talking about. Hopefully this will ease Rosetta's burden somewhat.

"What about Noel?
He's asleep.
The same as always... Oh, here's the lunch that Claire made. Give Noelle her lunch. I'll have one for Liora too.

　I hand Liora the two furoshiki packages I was holding. Liora's is a normal size, but Noel's is five times that size. He eats as much as an octogenarian, you know.
　I'm always impressed that he doesn't get fat after eating, sleeping, and eating so much. Oh, is it because he's an artificial person that he doesn't get fat?

Thank you very much. We don't need to eat, but it is always nice to have a good meal.

　Liora smiles as she accepts the furoshiki. Liora and Noel, and the "library" fams don't come down to the ground much.
　Parshe doesn't want them to come down much........ The other day, he almost burned down the castle curtains. You can't do anything about that bumbling attribute.
　When I returned to the castle on the ground, I ran into Sakura with Kohima.
　Since then, there is no sign of her memory returning. It seems like she doesn't need her memory to return either.
　I've never had amnesia myself, so I can't say for sure, but I wonder if she doesn't care about her past.
　In the meantime, since his identity is unknown, I've told him to take one of Amber and the others with him when he moves around, but I don't think he needs any more supervision.

'King. Good, I've been looking for you.
Hmm? What's wrong with you?

　Sakura runs up to me, looking a little flustered. It's unusual for her to have this kind of expression. When I was a little surprised, she just took my hand and started running towards somewhere else.

"Hey, what's going on?
"Sick man.
"Sick?

　Benidama, who was flying beside us as we ran, answered in place of Sakura. 'Not calm with a sick man.

''When I was strolling around the castle, there was a man who fell ill. ''I had to take him to the Silver Moon, but he seems to be suffering from a strange illness and is in a dangerous state.''
A freak disease?
''Demonic hardness disease. A disease that only affects the demon race. It's not highly contagious, but it is contagious, so I told the demons to stay away from it. It can lead to death within a month of its onset.

　Sakura explains while running by hand. You're awfully knowledgeable about this........ Have you read the medical books in the castle's storeroom? He's not as bad as Fam, but he's quite a print addict too.......
　But it's a disease that only affects the demon race, right? That means of course the patients are demons, right?

But why me? If you're sick, you could have Flora come to you...
Majesticclerosis is a condition-change disease. It's almost impossible to cure it. But with the attributeless magic of 'recovery'...

　I see. The state recovery magic "recovery" restores paralysis, poisoning, blindness, deafness, physical ailments and abnormalities. Perhaps it can remove foreign bodies such as gallstones and kidney stones. Maybe it can even cure cancer.
　But it doesn't cure the common cold, does it? Why is that? That's why I thought it couldn't cure ordinary diseases and such, but it seems to be effective against that magical hardness disease.
　Then we'd better hurry.
　I opened the 'gate' before the running Sakura and transitioned in front of the 'Silver Moon' at once.
　The employee, Fleur-san, led me into a room at the far end of the third floor, and I found the person lying on a bed.
　He was dressed in a tattered cloak and had bandages wrapped around every part of his body. The skin where the bandages had been removed was like a reddish-brown scab, and countless pieces of what looked like peeling skin had fallen onto the bed sheets. There was a strange sheen to it, almost like metal.
　Her long silver hair is slivered and sore, and even her face is covered in bandages, so it's hard to tell, but she's probably a woman. Her large breasts, which rise and fall with shallow breaths, affirm that.
　But it's terrible, this is terrible.... The place where it's peeled off is red and squishy and sore.

''You're alive, right........?
Majo-hardening disease is a disease in which the skin of the body hardens and peels off rapidly. Once the skin peels off, it hardens again and never heals. It eats away at the patient's physical and mental strength and eventually kills her. But she still has time to make it. Quick 'recovery'.

　The cherry blossoms prompted me to hastily apply 'recovery' to her.
　Surrounded by the soft light, her skin peels off one by one. For a moment, I was surprised that something had gone wrong, but after the peeling off, her skin was glossy and shiny with sweat. A healthy, wheat-colored skin peeked out from the bandage. It seemed to have worked.
　In addition, I'll also cast a recovery spell and 'refresh' on it. My wounds and strength should recover from this.
　Fleur-san removed the bandages on her face and wiped her face with the wet towel she brought with her, revealing brown skin and long ears from underneath the flaky skin that had flaked off.

''Dark Elf........''
"Hm.

　Sakura nodded. The same long ears as Guild Master Relisha-san. And different brown skin and silver hair from Relisha-san.

''Dark elves are the demon race? So the elves are demons too, then?
"? Elves and Dark Elves are a completely different species. They are similar but different. Elves are skilled in magic, while dark elves are more physical.
They hate each other and...
I've never heard of such a thing.

　Sai? Apparently, she's a completely different entity from my flimsy fantasy knowledge.
　It's quite a beautiful woman. I wonder if this is a race trait like the elves. Hmmm. It's interesting.

I'm going to wipe her body now, so........
'Yeah, I'd better. The sooner you get that hardened skin off, the better.

　I nodded at Fleur-san's suggestion. Of course it's better to get him cleaned up quickly. But Fleur-san doesn't try to work at all, and glances in my direction? What is it?

'Well I'm going to take off my clothes and tell His Majesty that I'm here to stay... well...'

　I finally figured out what was going on with the words Fleur-san cut out of her mouth.
　Ah, ya! No, sir! It's not that I didn't want to see her naked!

　He immediately turns and walks out the door into the hallway. It's rumored that he's a bellicose king who has eight fiancées for free. What are you going to do to make it even more credible!
　Leaving Fleur-san and Sakura to take care of her, I left 'Silver Moon'.

''I failed...''
Your Majesty!

　As I was wiping off my cold sweat, the demonic clansmen of our Order gathered in front of me. The young man Rushed from the vampire tribe, Zamza from the Ouga tribe, Lakshé from Alraune, and the twins from the Lamia tribe, Mullet and Charette.

''Ka, what happened to the people who were carried away?''
Yeah, I'll be fine. I'm better now, and I'll be able to move around in a while.

　Everyone was relieved to hear my words, and they let out a breath and patted their chests. What is this, it's quite a big deal. Do we have to worry so much about being of the same demon race?

Do you know everyone by any chance?
''No, but we're the same demon race. When the demon race comes out of the demon kingdom, there is sometimes racial discrimination and persecution. And since he had Demon Hardening Disease, he must have had quite a hard time...

　Rushed murmurs with a worried look on his face.
　A disease that only affects the demon race. That bandage wasn't just to hide the fact that he was a demon race and his ugly skin, but maybe he was wrapped up in it to avoid infecting other demon races.

''There must have been something very wrong for a dark elf to leave the Demon Kingdom.
What do you mean?
I'm sure you'll find a lot of noble families in the area. Most of them hold important positions in the country.

　That means that the older sister could be how old she is. She only looked to be over 20 years old.
　As I murmured this to myself, Rushed in front of me said, "I'm over sixty, too. Oh, no! You look like you're over 20 years old, too! I mean, wasn't Rushed's reason for joining the team "to be on his own"? I wonder what it's like to finally leave your parents after 60.
　I don't understand the customs of the demon race........
　Normally, if it's a noble level in the Demon Kingdom, even if they contracted the Demon Hardening Disease, they would assign a human or sub-human caretaker to take care of them, and then they would be kept under house arrest for a month before they die.
　Perhaps that dark elf developed it during his journey. I'm sure I was in the country I happened to end up in, so I survived, but otherwise, I would have died for sure.
　...it was just a coincidence, wasn't it?
