"So there are two merchants who contacted Landslide, and four merchants that Landslide has spotted. So we can trust that there are no leaked merchants or anything?
"Heh, heh. We're still monitoring Mr. Landosle himself, Mr. Solide. And the same goes for Mr. Landreth's men who are chosen as negotiators. ......
"Oh, I see you've grasped the meaning of my words. You got it right. You got it right this time.

　The reason why ragpickers are ragpickers is that they cannot live wisely. But if you can make them learn, they can be as useful as other people, and they can be surprisingly dynamic. However, there is a disadvantage in that it is very difficult to make them learn, and they cannot be efficient unless they are subjected to a reasonable amount of pain and fear. Some of the original ruffians in Trinh have never returned, but considering the rapid progress of the remaining ruffians, I think they are grateful enough.

I've also checked on the whereabouts of the merchants we had contact with. We haven't investigated their personnel or their background yet. ......
"Oh, no need for that. You're just a bunch of scum. What I'm looking for is a man who's good enough to have killed a demon lord. He's not so powerful that even you can beat him, but of course he has guards. He's probably too tough for even me to beat, and it's obvious that he'll destroy himself if you guys continue to have half-hearted contact with him. Isn't that right?

　Well, it's unclear at the moment if that person is really in Trinh. But I'm pretty sure my sense of smell is good enough. The fact that the resources of the demon world have been released to Trinh suggests an agenda of some kind. It's not like he's an ordinary wise guy who would plant such a thing.
　Ritual said that he and the people of Yugra were equal. It is true that Ritual might attack with this kind of thinking. In other words, we should move as if we were dealing with a Ritual.

Heh, heh. ....... So what do you want to do after this?
"Uh, yeah. Well, we'll get some men and have them go in one by one.
What? Oh, they're very strong. ......
Just rob them, don't kill them, just steal their money and goods. According to the data, they won't go to such extremes. If they do, the worst that can happen is that they turn you over to Trinh's army. If you get a hit, you don't have to do anything else. I'll let you do it quickly and easily to earn money for alcohol.

　All doubters will be punished. I've heard that saying before, but it's best. If you're in any of these places, you're bound to hit the jackpot if you set your sights on all of them.

"So, Mr. Solide...
I have a plan to keep your life and mind safe, but would you like something more radical?
...... Okay, okay.

　It's not that I don't have any feelings about these people dying, but I do want to use up as much of the available talent as I can. I'm not sure what to make of it.

Well... I'm not sure what to make of this.

　I've been told by Littoral to be cautious with the bastards. I'm not sure what to make of it. But if you ask me if I can fight on equal footing with Yugra, it's impossible for anyone but Arctial. So what's the use of it? It's just like those ruffians. You should be cautious about using your talent in a useful way.

　◇.

　We have successfully made contact with the Horstal Chamber of Commerce. Now it's time to investigate the building of the Horsteal Trading Company. So, the four men decided to discuss their future plans. The women's group, inspired by the previous meal, took over the men's meal duty and have been working on their creative activities. As for Lakra, she's probably just enjoying being a taster.

I'm sure I'm the right person for the hiding role. ......
But you know, Exduk, most of the people here have been recognized by Ritual.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what's going on in your life. In the first place, if Rytal had anticipated you, he might have found out just by seeing you. You could cover your face with a turban, but that would make you look suspicious.

I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of it. What about the Blue Demon King, brother?
"I don't have any direct contact with Ritual, but it's like Rahite's seen him a few times. I'm not going to say anything against them.
No offense to Cael and the others, but I don't think you're cut out for infiltration missions, compadre.
That's true. ....... I'd like to say I'm good with a sword, but I'm not so good with ...... that either.

　I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it. Even if you don't have any, you can still win against a knight of Taze or any of the Trin soldiers around. Marya's strength is slightly lower than Cael's, but she has a wider range of magic to deal with demons and undead beings.

It doesn't really matter how strong she is, though. If you can see what's going on inside a building, you can make an accurate diagram of its structure. It's just a matter of whether or not you can use your skills.
It's all about whether or not you can use your skills." "......, you're right. I'm sorry, Kale, I didn't mean to sound insulting.
No, no, no! I know exactly what you're capable of, Mr. Ekdukku! You can't blame me for thinking you're inexperienced!
To be honest, I'm stronger than Hark-dog with a sword, so there's no need to be so pessimistic.
"You're right, brother. I've won nine out of ten hand-to-hand combat matches with Cale!
You've lost once.

　Harkdock's fighting style is to evade attacks and disrupt the opponent's rhythm. So, the more you are disrupted, the more the Harkdock stings. In the case of a versatile and clever opponent like Ecdysius, if you are outmatched by him, you are almost out of luck. Well, he has a great record of defeating Lakra, so he has the best chance of causing a big upset.



"Tarzan knights are always looking for an opening!
But Mr. Harkdock's fighting style is very informative! It's as if you're dancing in the palm of your hand, your thoughts are being guided, and you're being played by an experienced knight!
"Oh, yeah. Thanks a lot. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on. I think it would be helpful if you had a go at Exoik and the like while you're at it.
No, it's just that ...... Mr. Ex-Doik is too handy for many things. ......
I know. He can do just about anything.

　Ecdysium can use weapons other than chains to a high standard. He is a perfect opponent for training with a variety of weapons. Perhaps Marya understands this, and as a result, she frequently asks him to play with her.

If you're not sure what you're looking for, you can always ask me. ...... Most of the time, it's a skill I've acquired through training. ......
"Don't take it seriously. There's no one more useful to train with than you, though. If it's Lakra or something like that, it could sever some part of your body.
Harkdock, what about the mix in terms of training partners?
...... pass, too much of a bad match.

　If you're trying to break the rhythm of the game, like Harkdock, you're likely to get trapped first. If you don't have an overwhelmingly massive offensive tool like Exdoik's Chain or Lakra's Warding, you'll have a very hard time.

In the first place, Mixu is the type of person who shouldn't show his hand. But I've heard that he's not too bad with a sword. Keir, wouldn't you be willing to go with me to train with a sword?
"Yes, that teacher ....... Don't you remember that Myx-sama is your sister ......?
Ah, .......

　If you're asking if a knight can ask the sister of his country's king for a hand match,......, yes, he can't. I'm not sure if I'd be able to do that if I were you.

I guess Ecdysius is the right guy to train with. He's got perfect control.
That's true. Training with the Iliad would destroy everyone here.
"Lord Ratzel is a bit of a ......

　The Iliad seems to be having trouble finding someone to train with. I think Lord Ragdoll is probably giving him a hard time right now, but Lord Ragdoll isn't getting any younger,......, so I doubt he'll be okay.

"Quiet, there's someone outside the house.

　At the sound of Ecdysium's voice, everyone went into a state of alertness. No, not someone, but... I can sense that Cale is a knight in this respect. Harkdock seems to have used his detection magic right away.

"Mm, this magic is .......

　Before Eckdruk could say anything, the front door opened with a bang to reveal a visitor.

"Mmmmmmmmm! Mistress, come in!

　The person there was Gold. King Garne! You can't just show up in a neighboring country, you have to come to the country two doors down.

You know, ......
"Why, Trinh is near my hometown. Wouldn't it be wrong of you to come home once in a while?
Your home was burned to the ground.

　Well, the gold was trying to create a demon world near here in Trinh. Since all the other Demon Lords were doing it, I was thinking of copying them, but I was quickly defeated by Yugra, who started to defeat the Demon Lords. Thanks to this, the demon world of Torin doesn't exist in this world. It is thanks to the slow action of this demon king that Trinh has not suffered any damage from demons.

For the mistress, her second home is ...... beside you, is that correct?
"Not good. You'll have to settle for Garne.
Right. So you're the third man.
That's annoying. And if you're coming, tell me in advance. I don't like it when you show up suddenly.
That's a terrible thing to say. You don't have to be so rude.
No, there's a guy who's been tracking your magic for a while.

　In the event you have any questions regarding where and how to use the site, please feel free to contact us. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

I'm not sure what to do, but I'm going to do it." "Oh, ......, that's pathetic, .......
"Don't pet it. Cale, I'm sorry, but you're going to have to put Harkdock down in the back.
"Yes, sir.

　I had explained this specification of the harddog to Cale and Marya, but they must have felt quite unhappy when they actually saw him. Cale bowed to Harkdock and then carefully carried the body away. Gold climbed into the man's lap and pressed his tail against him as if to tell him to stroke it. I stroked it and felt it. You can't really tell the difference between an alter ego and a body when the inside is the same.

You can't really tell the difference between an alter ego and a main body if they're all the same. I want to touch your tail too.
Yes, yes. ....... So, is this the body?
No, the main body is taking a nap in Garne Castle. We've been having a few problems in Garne lately. I just wanted to take a break.


I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I'm not the only one.

　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. I'm not sure if you've ever heard of this, but I'm sure you've heard of it. It was a problem that had been hidden in order to prepare for the invasion of the Scarlet Demon King, but I guess many people didn't like it.

You don't have to look so worried. I'm willing to resign as King of Garn at any time. However, since it was entrusted to her by her predecessor, I would like to set a certain standard for the next king. However, there is no one who can govern better than the mistress.
"That's because of the tremendous power Ygras gave me.
I'm willing to compromise with the foolish king of the Tarzans.
"That's not a compromise, is it?

　It's not a compromise. There is usually no one who can rule better than Gold, who can confirm the success or failure of a policy with the same accuracy as predicting the future. However, the fact that no one has come forward to take a hard line is thanks to Mr. Ludwig Fein, who is pushing for a meritocracy.

I've enjoyed my reign as a king to a certain extent. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm sure I'll be able to do it.
I'll tell you what, I'm not going to feed you.
"What the ......?
Don't give me that desperate look. You don't have to make fun of me that much, I can be a good person to talk to. It's hard work, isn't it?
"Not so much if it's just me. Rudfein and the others who support her are under increasing pressure. Many of them are too insidious to show their strength.

　Oh, so that's why. Gold, who is used to being abused by Marito, will not succumb to the abusive language of these people. But there are probably people out there who are harassing his supporters. Some people would rather have their friends hurt than have themselves hurt.

Should I help you?
"You're helping me now. As you contribute to this world, your view of the Demon Lord will gradually change. It may take many years, but we're immortal.
"You want to do it yourself for a while, huh?
"Yes. You might be able to help me with that.

　This is a matter of how Gold lives. Gold was born into a world of war and did not want to die caught in the flow of it, so he became a Demon Lord to live a new life. He became a Demon Lord in order to live a new life. His desire to gain what he could not gain by living with the current is still the same.
　If I were to solve everything here, it would be the same as letting the current take care of me. That's why you want to do it by yourself.

"Well, go for it. If it doesn't work, cry. I'll take care of you then.
I'd be happy to provide for you.
Other than that.
Pathetic. --By the way, there was a bit of a commotion around here before we got here. I saw Thorin's troops investigating in front of the inn. It looked like a robbery.
"Oh.

　I unfolded the map and asked Gold to show me the location of the inn.

"So this is the place.
"Compatriot, I believe the inn is .......

　If this is a setup, then they know that we are targeting the Horstal Trading Company, a safe house in Torin. If that's the case, I'd like to think that Ritual and Raheit are there to interfere, but ...... their tactics are different from those of those two.
　I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will help you out. So it's someone else who's in charge of protecting Torin. What should we do now?
