CXXXII.

―Well, the reason we settled in Evergreen was because Nitas raised suspicions.

―The current status of Juan, the human with the highest influence among the superhumans, and his family… … and found it.

“What?”

Without realizing it, my voice tone became higher and sharper.

That may be to be expected.

Just because I personally gave up on Dean Hoo and admitted that we weren’t a good match, it doesn’t mean that it’s okay for him to turn to the Demon Clan.

Moreover, he still maintains good relations with Catherine’s family.

―I found out that there was a change in the family of Superman Juan.

– That’s right. We don’t have enough information to report on yet, but there has definitely been a change.

Two intermediate level demons answering each other competitively.

I finally let out a sigh of relief when I heard the word ‘insufficient’ among their answers.

That means it hasn’t been reported yet.

-and…….

“No? Is it over?”

I didn’t press him. I just asked if it was over, if it was over. However, the two intermediate-level demons were visibly flustered and rolled their eyes left and right.

-A, a superior! There is one superior demon.

“Huh? The higher-ups? Where?”

-On the stick… … .

Zipangu. If you look at the entire map of the continent, it is shaped like a giant wyvern spreading its large wings. And underneath the wyvern’s tail, that is, underneath Evergreen, there is an island nation called Zipangu.

A country that is not even in the 2nd, 7th, and 4th powers. In other words, it is an island country that is not even considered a country on the continent. Zipangu.

What’s really funny is that even the gods seem to think so, because when the Demon King of the Continent descended and the candidates were selected in the aftermath, no candidates from Zipangu showed up.

“Ah, I don’t want to ride a boat.”

They say there are high-level demons. And they are on an island nation that is completely separated from the continent, and where there are no superhumans.

This is not an ordinary thing either.

Of course, Dean Hu also had family issues.

“First, kill this one.”

“Yes~!”

A cheerful and lively answer that would normally be mistaken for a clown.

This time, the owner of the cheerful answer was Hwang Yi, who had maintained his composure until now.

As I watched the intermediate demon die and the death card appear, absorbing the intermediate demon’s death, I wondered whether I should take care of the matter with Jipangu first or the matter with the headmaster first.

But my worries turned out to be useless.

I couldn’t go to Zipangu.

◈ ◈ ◈

The nation with the most debaucherous national character on the continent.

The most incredible kingdom and its people on the continent.

The most beastly of men on the continent.

The most perverted bloodline on the continent.

A kingdom on the continent that has human form but is not treated as such.

All these worst adjectives refer to one kingdom.

Zipangu is the only island nation on the continent.

It is not a problem that can be dismissed as narrow-minded and prejudiced the continental people’s view of the Zipangu Kingdom.

Historically speaking, Zipangu’s actions were deserving of such treatment.

As these pile up and the misconception that they are island savages is added, the reputation of the Zipangu on the continent becomes the worst.

It might not feel real if I explain it to this extent, so I’ll give you an example.

A famous warrior from Jipangu visited the continent. His martial arts skills were roughly equivalent to those of a quasi-superior, and he was a unique warrior who wielded two swords.

He came to the continent and almost achieved early fame.

If only he hadn’t resorted to cowardly tactics in a showdown with fellow superhumans.

It became famous for a very different meaning when, in a non-combat situation, not a life-or-death decision between enemies, he rushed at his opponent who had turned his back and beheaded him, even though his opponent had lowered his sword and declared the end of the fight.

And then, a while later, he was abandoned by someone from the unmanned cradle with his arms and legs cut off, his vocal cords severed, and his Force core broken.

This is excessive.

Because there were cultural differences, it was a problem that could be understood and overcome, or it could be resolved by banishing them with sticks.

However, no one on the continent, not even the hostile kingdoms, said that the actions of the unknown warrior who came out of the cradle of the unmanned were ‘excessive’.

If you ask if continental people are too much, well?

Maybe it’s a case-by-case basis?

Since such a stick is a country, it has rulers and a ruling class.

A palace where the one who calls himself the emperor resides in the despised continent of Jipangu.

The palace, built by layering wooden planks together, was not as impressive as the royal palaces or imperial palaces of other kingdoms, as construction technology was not as advanced as that of the continent.

Did they know that too?

Perhaps because of this, the building was covered in such a bizarrely colorful paint that it was impossible to guess what it was trying to express.

Deep inside that palace, where the words frivolity and vulgarity come to mind at the same time.

A young man dressed in clothes as frivolous as a palace kneels in a solemn and reverent posture, waiting for something.

If it weren’t for the unique red and bright clothes worn by the Jipangu royal family, they would be considered faithful and devout priests just by their appearance.

-Listen.

The voice that broke the still silence was a woman’s, and it was a very attractive, firm, and heavy woman’s voice.

“Here it is, my Lord.”

In a most reverent gesture, place your forehead and the back of your hands on the floor, with your palms spread out and facing the ceiling.

With the knees on the ground, this was the perfect posture of submission, the posture of prostration. The image of five parts of the body, both knees, the backs of both hands, and even the forehead, being on the ground.

-I will send my servants soon.

“Ahhh… …! Finally!”

―Let the lower and middle-level species prepare a way to sneak into the continent, and let the upper-level ones stay there. And let the preparations be accelerated even more.

“Okay.”

The man didn’t ask questions like ‘how’ or ‘why’. He simply said he would follow the orders given by the owner of the voice coming from the beautiful yet eerie doll, and was moved by it.

reason?

That’s because he is so blindly fanatic that he refers to the owner of the voice as ‘Lord’. Asking and questioning the reason is something that should be done only when you are in an equal relationship.

I don’t know about his two older brothers, but at least that’s what the man thought. He was a being that needed to be supported in body and soul, not someone to be used.

As the red light disappeared, the man stood up. The women, who noticed the noise coming from the sweaty man opening the door, bowed their heads politely.

“Your Highness. Have you completed your training well?”

“Yeah.”

A woman bows her head and calls the man “prince” as he opens the door and comes out of the room. This means that this man is the prince of Zipangu.

“Your Majesty is in the bedroom.”

“Okay.”

One of the reasons why the Jipangu is ignored is because a king must have power to be called a king.

It is not necessary to be the strongest, but it is necessary to have power that is comparable to that of the strongest. Of course, there were those who took the throne by receiving loyalty from subordinates with strong military power, but it did not last long.

No, he may have enjoyed life as a king, but his descendants all had to live miserable lives.

A country where one can usurp the throne at any time without being criticized by the common people, as long as one’s own power is strong and one has sufficient troops.

That’s a walking stick.

Due to such influence, the royal family that currently rules Zipangu is putting all its efforts into increasing its own power above all else.

I don’t know if he has any special talent, but the current king is a Grand Master by the standards of the continent, and his three sons have also each risen to the rank of Master.

Of course, the same goes for the three princes who are now being guided by the maids.

He was a sword master.

The place where the prince stopped walking, guided by the maid, was a large room. If he hadn’t heard in advance that it was a bedroom, he wouldn’t have believed it, it was so large and luxurious, and yet it looked flashy and vulgar.

In a bedroom that lives up to the adjective vulgar, two naked women are sleeping soundly on a bed that is five times wider than a normal bed.

And a muscular middle-aged man wearing only a long shirt sits on the bed and greets the three princes.

“Are you here?”

“Yes, Father.”

“What is the divine word?”

The man asked, as if he didn’t have any great expectations. Seeing that the prince called him father, it means that he is the king of Zipangu, who is looked down upon by the continental people. He goes around calling himself the emperor.

“I am honored to receive it.”

“Are you serious?!”

“Yes.”

“What, what is it? What did you say!”

“He said that his servant would come to see him soon.”

“Oh! D, finally!! I can make that arrogant continent flow with rivers of blood!”

“It doesn’t matter.”

The three princes gave some stinging advice to the self-proclaimed emperor, who was very excited and spoke from the position of a ‘king’, as if he were a priest telling him not to use religion as a tool of war.

The self-proclaimed emperor, who was about to glare at his son with sharp eyes, shrank his shoulders at the sight of the red light shining brightly from the third prince’s eyes.

“Hmm… . Hmm. I made a slip of the tongue. By the way, how many times has this happened?”

“It’s the 11th time, thank you.”

“Huh…? How is that…? Huh?”

“Ah?!”

The king, who was about to say something unreasonable, and the prince, who was still moved by something and could not come out of it, were unable to continue speaking. Because something they had not expected had come upon them.

『A certain number of ‘otherworldly’ beings have descended.』

『Hidden Act 1. 「Let the Demon King Descend!」 has been opened. Details will be updated.』

A woman’s voice that only Gray had heard on the continent.

After hearing that, a huge flow of divine power occurred.

This was an incident that happened in Zipangu on the third day of Gray’s 100-day training.
