“I’m going to find Kasumi.”
“… Kasumi?”
Sera probably didn’t have much interest in Kasumi, so when she first heard that name, she couldn’t immediately think of it and tilted her head.
However, when the word “magic sword” was brought up, she nodded with a look of confusion, probably because she remembered Kasumi only then.
“You’re the woman who handed over the magic sword. Do you think the culprit of this incident is that woman named Kasumi?”
“I don’t think magic was used since it is a sword, but I think there is a possibility that it is related in some way.”
Coincidences are rare in this world.
Even if not everything is carefully planned, there will be something that becomes the main thread of the story.
If the Demon Sword’s coming to the royal capital was related to that larger issue, then he or she would definitely have a clue as to who the culprit who built the dungeon was.
I really want to free someone and secure her identity right away, but things won’t be that easy.
If Kasumi, or more specifically the Demon Sword, had seen the dungeon being built, she would have already hid herself for a long time.
It wouldn’t be that difficult to find a notable Asian in the capital if you were willing, but finding one and catching them are two completely different things.
If they realize that they are being followed, in the worst case scenario, they may leave the royal capital.
No matter how many Asians stand out, it would be difficult to find even one person on this wide continent.
“Woo was told that finding Kasumi was an urgent priority, but it won’t be that easy. So, let’s set the priority as searching for Kasumi and how can we solve the problem at hand.”
“If it is a problem at hand… .”
“Dispute between the warrior faction and the prime minister faction… . And will there be a war with the empire later?”
A conflict between the warrior faction and the ash-kill faction.
Afterwards, the war with the Empire.
These were all common events seen in Part 2, so there was nothing particularly surprising about them.
Since it seems like it would be wrong to rebuild the Academy, it would be safe to say that part 2 has already begun.
“The boss of Part 2, Gileon, the leader of the warrior faction, is strong in arms but not very intelligent, so there is no need to be too careful.”
The level varies depending on the route, but it is about 85, which is a level that can be defeated without any problems if you focus on leveling up for a few months, even if it is difficult right now.
Since he is a pure warrior, it is easy to take countermeasures, so he is honestly not worthy of being the final boss.
The demon lords and hidden bosses encountered in the later delving elements were more enjoyable to fight.
“Gileon’s level is higher than Lang’s, but if he gets hit, he will have to take a lot of damage, so he won’t get hit from the front right away.”
Lang will probably want to refrain from confronting him right away, so considering her excellent eloquence and negotiation skills, the start of the war can be at least a few months away.
If you have that much time, raising your level above 80 won’t be a problem.
Of course, this is when no variables occur.
No one knows what the culprit who caused this incident will do or what will happen if this incident creates any variables.
Therefore, there is an urgent need to move, but there has been no news from Lang and Theresina yet.
Anyone who can use two people is the one who can use them, so there should definitely be a response by now.
Could something have happened?
“Felt, it’s still daytime. They’ll be having meetings or whatever, so I’ll have to wait at night or lunchtime to get in touch.”
“… Ah, that’s right.”
When I think too much, I become unnecessarily impatient.
Because of this bad habit, I was in trouble several times in the previous episode, but this time, I was so fortunate to have someone by my side to stop me.
“Thank you, I had a great time thanks to Sarah.”
“… Anyone who sees it will think that you have done something great. I just said one word.”
“In the old days, no one would say that word.”
The only things next to me were chess pieces that were good to use, enemies that hadn’t betrayed me yet, and just enemies.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to have someone I can trust with peace of mind like Una Sarah.
There are some familiars, but they feel more like pets or subordinates, so it’s a bit unfair to call them colleagues.
It didn’t feel like we were equal.
To me, these two people were like two wings or two legs supporting my body.
“Hey Sarah, what do you think about polygamy?”
“… Why are you suddenly asking that?”
“I don’t want to lose Sera or Udo. I know it’s selfish, but I still want to be with these two people.”
“… … .”
“You cannot have either of them as your concubine. I don’t want my child to be called an illegitimate child. I think this is a non-negotiable issue, so please answer seriously.”
“Felt is disgusting. Are you saying that because you know I won’t be able to refuse you? If I say no here, that bitch is the only one looking good.”
“… Sorry, I’m the type of person who doesn’t fight a fight I can’t win from the beginning.”
“If you know everything, there’s no need to answer. But Felt, keep one thing in mind. Never make me lonely. If the day comes when I have children and the attention that was on me turns to them――.”
Sarah’s words were interrupted by a bird that suddenly appeared without continuing to the end.
Jeon Seo-gu, whom Terezina had once sent, was knocking on the window with a calm expression.
“I guess that single bitch was in a hurry too. When I see you sending a letter so quickly.”
“Sera.”
“Let’s talk about this next time. I added that milk boy later too.”
*****
“Hmm… .”
To summarize the contents of the letter, it was as follows.
They are asking us to attend as all factions of the prime minister’s faction are scheduled to gather for a meeting this evening.
It wasn’t a particularly difficult task, and there were things I wanted to discuss with them, so I wrote a reply letter saying I understood and left it to Jeon Seo-gu.
Jeon Seo-gu cried once as if to say hello and then flew away.
Sarah looked at the back and muttered briefly.
“… It’s too fast. What’s going on?”
“The letter said that one-fifth of the royal capital was burned down. Actually, considering what happened, it’s not that late.”
However, I also agree with the feeling that Terezina did not have enough time.
If it were her usual self, she would have thought more carefully about whether she could trust her and entrust her with a task before sending the letter.
The fact that I sent the letter right away means that something happened in this terrorist attack that I don’t know about.
I felt uneasy for some reason, but that didn’t mean I couldn’t say I wouldn’t leave.
Time passed like that and it was evening.
A carriage arrived in front of the mansion.
As I watched the carriage from a distance, the door opened and Terezina and Fiona waved happily from inside.
“Felt! It’s here!!”
We were greeted lightly, got on the carriage, sat across from them, and gave them a quick hello.
“How is the situation? My sister’s faction may have evacuated in advance, but I think it will be more difficult because of that.”
“Well, right… . It’s only been a day, but how did I know that there was even a guy who broke into my villa?”
Theresina is the most famous demon minister in the kingdom, so it was probably thought that she was related to the demon worshipers touched by the empire.
If you think about it calmly, you will realize that there is no need for Terezina to do something like this.
It seems that parents who have lost their children do not even see such an obvious truth in their eyes.
“So what did the nobleman do?”
“No matter what, I just sent it back. If you did something like that in my territory, it would have been a tribute, but unfortunately, this is the royal city.”
I’m sure he knew he couldn’t touch it.
Terezina laughed at him, saying that since he knew that, he was probably trying to act like a good parent.
“Ha, haha… . Boo, I’m sure it is.”
Fiona noticed her and agreed with an awkward smile, and I couldn’t help but nod.
Of course, Sarah had a crumpled expression the whole time.
“This meeting is a place where senior figures from the Prime Minister’s faction gather, right? Is it okay for me to go to a place like that?”
“I gave permission, and the old lady gave permission, so who is complaining? If there’s a guy that courageous, don’t you want to see it too?”
With another awkward smile on his face, the carriage stopped at the driver’s signal and arrived in front of a building that looked like a restaurant at first glance.
Perhaps because something like that happened yesterday, the restaurant wasn’t open, so not a single light was on, but the door wasn’t closed.
While I was tilting my head to see if it was really here, Terezina said.
“For meetings, we usually use a store owned by someone else. This store is that grandmother’s store.”
After opening the door and entering with that explanation, a bald butler in a suit came out from the other side of the dark room and guided us upstairs.
Unlike the downstairs, the stairs were lit, so there was no need to worry about tripping on the way up.
When I entered a room upstairs with curtains on all sides, the first thing I felt was the strong smell of cigarettes.
Soon, with thick smoke seeping through the cracks in the door, Terezina opened the door wide and went inside and spoke.
“Am I a little late?”
“No, everyone has just arrived, so come on in.”
As we followed Terezina, who confidently stepped inside, everyone’s eyes turned to us.
“That boy… .”
A trembling voice.
Everyone looked at me with interest, wondering what they had heard from Lang.
Some of them looked at me with an unreasonable sexual desire, but you don’t have to worry about it.
It’s a familiar thing.
“Kuhm… .”
Everyone stopped talking and lowered their heads as Lang adjusted his voice.
When I was about to burst into laughter at the reaction of a kindergartener in front of a certain teacher, Lang spoke.
“I’d like to say a light hello, but unfortunately I don’t have time. Let me be blunt. Gus Dragonheart is missing.”
“… … .”
“And Gileon Dragonheart seems to think we have something to do with it. They are now gathering troops.”
