Tree trunk house.

I sat down on the bed.

“There are three gods?”

Shaella next to me widened her eyes.

This is because it told me about the history of the city’s owners and rulers that I saw at the rulers’ meeting.

I didn’t mind and continued talking.

“I don’t know the exact power. You can’t check if they don’t show their energy directly. But at that point, it could already be considered close to godhood.”

“Hmm… .”

Shaella’s expression became displeased.

Since I expected him to be a god at best, I seemed a little shocked.

master of the city.

The first ruler illusion.

Second ruler Renatus.

Up to five other rulers who are probably demigods.

At this point, Shaella has already gone beyond what she can do on her own.

The power of the city is stronger than you think

Of course you won’t like it.

Because it means I have to keep hiding here.

“After… How… … .”

Look at me.

He is sighing unexpectedly.

However, I am seriously considering whether to find a way out.

Now, it’s time to tell you the good news.

“Sooner or later, a ruler will attack.”

“Hmm? They’re coming in?”

“I want you to catch it. If possible, we will clone or brainwash them and infiltrate them again.”

“Wait a minute. Is only one ruler coming?”

“That’s right. Because of the Swalios incident-”

He told me about a conversation that took place at a rulers’ meeting.

A ruler named Argon is coming here to investigate the Swalios incident.

“In other words, if you kill him, you can weaken the city’s power and plant another spy. The city doesn’t know we exist yet. We just need to weaken their power little by little and increase our forces. Then, someday, I will be able to face them.”

“Oh… You had everything in mind, right?”

“All we have to do is raise the power of a ruler like Miya and continue to increase the number of dryads and fairies. There is no need to be discouraged anymore.”

“You never felt discouraged?~ I was thinking about what would happen to you if you caught and fed those guys.”

“That’s just as scary as it is.”

“Anyway. Not bad. It might be possible if we can stay safe for a few hundred years.”

“… … … .”

“I will be found and killed before then~”

It was immediately denied.

“He may have escaped from floor 0 before that. As you know, I am also a world tree. Once you master your dimensional abilities, you’ll be able to get out of here. For some reason, I have a feeling that time won’t be far away.”

“Oh? I didn’t think of that.”

Even though he looks surprised, his slightly brightened mood is noticeable. He didn’t show it, but he seemed a little relieved.

In the end, it’s up to me to grow up.

I’ll have to work harder in the future.

But before that… .

“I need to know when the ruler is coming, so I’ll ask for Iyan’s cooperation and come back.”

“Yes, yes. Take a good look and come.”

It’s time to meet Ian again.

If a ruler wants to go on an expedition with nobles, he has no choice but to stop by the Guild. In other words, Iyan can know when Argon is going out. If you get his cooperation, you will be able to meet the ruler without difficulty.

Sigh~

Moved to Cardelpion’s body.

“You came back alive. I guess you finished the rulers meeting well.”

“I managed to not get caught.”

Ian is still expressionless.

Today, we sat across from each other at a table in the palace garden and talked.

“Then why did you call me?”

As expected, I saw it right away.

I also responded to that.

“A ruler is going on an expedition to the Fog Forest. I’ll probably go with the nobles through your union, and I’d like you to share that information with me.”

“Hmm… okay. But how did we come to that conclusion?”

“It’s a Swalios thing. They said they would investigate it.”

“I see. Then then-”

“Wait.”

Ian stopped talking.

Because it was a strange feeling.

“Why are you doing that?”

“… Stay quiet. I think there is someone.”

Someone infiltrated somewhere in the palace just now.

I was able to recognize it because my stem had taken root in the palace area. Just now, someone jumped onto the palace in an instant and hid their presence.

Who is it?

Is it surveillance?

He must be at least a ruler-level person.

If my guess is correct, someone at today’s meeting might have noticed my presence.

Maybe the owner of the city… .

Would you have guessed my situation?

Ian started playing on his own.

“Thank you for inviting me to dinner today.”

“… … … ?”

“But I’m also busy, so I can’t hang out for a long time. I hope you understand, right?”

Quite a different atmosphere and attitude than usual.

The guy, who was expressionless as always, made a random noise with a faint smile.

Ian is a smart guy.

If you stay still and don’t talk, an intruder might get suspicious, so let’s play.

It’s a pain in the ass.

There is no doubt that the fact that they were placed under surveillance as soon as they returned from the rulers’ meeting is under suspicion.

First of all, we need to resolve this situation.

I quickly turned my head.

I heard this from Cecilia.

Cardelpion said he showed interest in Iyan. Because he knows that, Ian talks like it’s just a normal date.

I can’t help it.

There is no choice but to fit in.

I imitated Cardelpion’s speaking style.

“Iyan. I care about you a lot. You can treat me anytime. So, how about leaving the union and coming under me?”

“Thank you for your kind words, but I really don’t feel like it.”

“Hahaha!… You always test my patience in many ways.”

“But I don’t really dislike it either. We need time to find out more slowly.”

Okay.

Shagak~

On the table.

Ian smiled charmingly as he elegantly sliced the steak.

But there is no time to worry.

I quickly looked around to see where the guard would be.

I missed it while going up to the palace, but it must be somewhere nearby.

Who exactly is it?

Did you notice my identity?

I can’t look around the palace because it’s at the back, but fortunately I have a clear view. I lifted my head from a stem hidden in the garden and looked closely at the palace roof.

‘… ‘Renatus?’

I found it faster than expected.

The sight of a young girl lying down on the edge of a building and looking at this place.

What is the purpose of that?

Why are you doing this so openly… .

At this moment, my mind flashed.

Could it be that he’s trying to test me?

Whether I will discover myself or not.

If it was the real Cardelpion, he would probably have noticed that level of hiding.

Swish.

As soon as I thought about it, I turned my head towards the palace.

But no one was visible where Renatus should have been seen.

The moment I turned my head, it disappeared.

I think I know a little bit.

Because I am confident of avoiding it at any time.

And because he wanted to test me.

I guess he was looking down on me so openly for these two reasons.

“Cardelpion?”

“… Oh, I guess I was mistaken.”

I turned my head back, pretending not to notice.

At the same time, Renatus, who was smiling, poked his head out from a blind spot on the roof.

This time, it seemed like they were trying to hide their presence and keep an eye on me.

This is how it is… .

Ijan’s help will be difficult.

Therefore, I silently opened my mouth and warned.

Re. me. two. S. cast. article. center. sun. la.

“… … … ?”

Ian blinked for a moment.

The palace is in the back, so Renatus won’t be able to see my mouth. And if it was Lee Yan, he would have noticed and acted immediately.

Yi Yan quickly nodded and opened his mouth.

“Cardelpion. Do you have no taste for food?”

Words that fill in some gaps.

I took a moment to answer.

“Iyan… You said you didn’t hate me either. But it seems like he’s reluctant to be with me.”

“That’s… … .”

“ done. It’s quite annoying to be with such an unclear mind forever. I won’t call you for a while. I’ll give you plenty of time to think, so make up your mind then.”

“… … I understand.”

Although I said it differently, the meaning was clearly conveyed.

It will be difficult to meet you for a while, so I will not call you.

Come back when the surveillance is gone.

He must have understood. Afterwards, we finished the meal with useless chatter.

“Then.”

Iyan bowed his head politely and returned to the union. As you can see, Iyan’s help was no longer available, and Cardelpion’s body was also monitored, so it would be difficult to function.

Okay.

Cardelpion’s body aroused suspicion, but it was enough to infiltrate a new spy.

Ruler Argon.

You can use his body.

All you have to do is capture the guy in charge of investigating the Fog Forest and clone or brainwash him to re-infiltrate the city.

Then the question is how to greet him… .

‘I guess I’ll have to ask that guy.’

Fortunately, there is an alternative to Iyan.

Although he is less compatible with foresight, he still has very helpful abilities.

This side has the fifth Messiah.

Again.

… .

Again, again.

A pink-haired girl walks down the street.

An orange-haired girl looked down at the scene from the roof of the building.

“As expected, it wasn’t a big deal~”

Renatus.

She smiled brightly.

At the city owner’s command, the conversation between Cardelpion and Iyan was captured, but no suspicious circumstances were found.

Cardelpion flirted with Iyan, and since he was a dragon, she noticed his presence.

That was simply it.

but… .

“Did I tell you to wear it appropriately?”

Okay.

Renatus stood up.

I followed Iyan, who was slowly returning to the slave union.

She had no intention of doing anything to the person involved, Cardelpion. Since Cardelpion is the ruler, it is right that the fault lies with the class below him.

That is common sense.

If you bother Iyan, it will end.

so that.

Ttogak?… .

“… Who are you-”

I extended my hand towards Iyan, who was looking back.

By the time he opened his eyes wide and expressed confusion, he was already in Renatus’s hands.
