57 Adventure Preface

Confused even when given abruptly. What the hell is this book? And what's a demon king? In my head, all my questions come to mind.

"... I think I need to ask you something. But first, I look through you lightly."

"Okay. Well, I'll read it first."

Pushed by the air between the glances, Ein honestly decided to look through one of the books.

Still brand new leather back cover. Its touch is still not soft and tame, and I don't see any distinctive aging of leather.

Embossed letters were easy to read.

Ain't let you down for a little while, enjoying the touch. I finally start opening the cover of that book.

"... a book made by Mr. Katima and Mr. Chris?

"Yeah. Over the past six months, I've been dying crazy to find out, and I've finally got a book. It's hard to make it worth it."

I guess it's so much confidence. Katima, who was a part of the research, seems to be a substitute for her mouth until then.

Ain't only got cause and effect to cut. Ain't started concentrating on one of those books to see the clues, continuing to be concerned about the words Katima uttered.

"Whoa, wait. Cover your body with this cloth before you start reading, just in case."

Describe the conditions under which the Demon King occurs.

1. Can't be a pure human species, interracial or half has the potential to lead to the Demon King.

2. No matter how many degrees you continue to evolve, it occurs as the demon king of the first race born. For example, even if he was born as a bird demon and evolved into another race, he becomes the demon king of birds.

3. Unless you have the talent to reach the Demon King, no matter how much demons seem to devour the Demon Stone or try to give it a level. There is no way to get there.

Under the above conditions, we shall proceed with this book.

Demon King appeared on the continent Ishtal once in the past in the record.

"Jealous Dreamer Archet" is just one person.

She bears the name of jealousy, but at the beginning of her awakening as the Demon King, she did not bear the name. Further information on this will be given later.

In Ishtarika in the past, there were times when race, now called interracial, was also considered a demon. Nowadays, even if you have a demonic physique, your right to be interracial is granted to beings who speak the language and do no harm.

But in the days when his consciousness was still faint, Archet the Demon King was king to many of them.

I hear she was often known and immature as a king.

She had two families like that. Two Elderlich's in Durahan.

From these families begins a nation in which Archet becomes the Demon King.

The three families have traveled the continent Ishtal over the years. During that journey, numerous encounters welcome three people.

Throughout their long journey, the three families helped many demons (interracial) and spread their names.

As a result, the three names will be known by many.

The three of them were sweet. If anyone was in need, they helped it and fought with it. Then many who admire the three gather and develop into one town.

After that, the three of them have continued on many journeys, starting from that newly formed town. A newly-helped person on a journey goes for and migrates to the town.

This flow continues over the years and the town continues to develop significantly.

The town was enveloped in calm air, as usual, and it seemed as if those days would continue.

But suddenly it happened. Without any foretaste, Archet, who had not yet become the Demon King, emits a high fever and loses consciousness.

... Then three days later she opened her eyes as if nothing had happened. The day she woke up was the birthday of Archet the Demon King.

The information is communicated to the people living in the town to a large extent. Those who lived in the town who heard the information said they were happy to celebrate the king's birth and to have a country.

Then many demons who heard of the birth of the Demon King begin to move to the town. And the town was finally elevated to the land.

Unlike the nations of humans, it was a culture of elegance and prudence, he said. Still, for the inhabitants, it was above all difficult to live.

That also changes the situation quickly in a few years. With one thing in mind, the country begins to collapse.

The trigger is a race... a red fox. That the race has joined the kingdom where Archet reigns as the Demon King.

The Red Foxes were well received, blended in quickly and had a lot of interaction with the public.

But gradually, gradually, the state of the country changes. The country began to be engulfed in an evil atmosphere when a woman of the head of the red fox began to enter the castle of the built Arche.

Lots of people like it. Its chief, who was popular, gained his place in a great deal of applause, and at the end of the day was able to be one of the vicinity of the Demon King. The woman has made numerous contributions and contributed to the development of the country.

But more often than not, after she started going by Archet, she couldn't stay calm.

He said he had become emotionally unstable and had spoken alot to himself.

The people were terribly worried and prayed that she would get better. And from then on, two sides, Durahan and Elderlich, were to be distanced from the vicinity of Arsheh the Demon King.

Suddenly the two sides are directed to a new village at a slight distance. As a result, beside Archet the Demon King, only one red fox woman was to refrain.

In the end, the spiritual situation of the Demon King Archet will not recover, and there will be a case. It is that Archet the Demon King woke up as' Archet the Jealous Dreamer '.

She became faithful to her desires and began to ramble without self-control.

Durahan and Elderlich return in defiance of orders to Archet, the demon king who suddenly began a rampage. But the three of them never looked at each other again. Because she refused to do so.

After that, he just says he's going to destroy everything, and he keeps running wild. He attacked the capital of those who lived far away and took the lives of demons who disobeyed themselves.

After that, under numerous sacrifices, the Demon King will be crusaded by Ishtarika.

... and by way of conclusion, why did the Demon King start a rampage? What did the Red Fox do? It shall be noted.

I don't know how, but Archet the Demon King used an old curse, called The Curse of Loneliness.

It is considered a single race skill with only the "Red Fox Head". We still don't know how to get Archet, the Demon King, to act on it.

"Though it's pompous, I read it. Does this mean that the hypothesis found before has been substantiated?

"Yeah. The example red fox curses the demon king, and by that curse the demon king runs wild. The result will be passed on to Ishtarika."

"... Until then, the Demon King was harmless, wasn't he?

"That's right."

Ein also listens to Katima's supplement and understands what went wrong. Whatever the reason, the Red Fox is the root of all evil.

"Then I know what I've been up to. So what's next...?

"When Ain returns from Euro, I'll tell you what happened."

"Huh... ah. Okay."

It was finally. Why has it been six months and this is the case? Having had a long foreground, I can finally get that explanation.

"Fate mischief. Among the souvenirs given to me by Euro was a doll representing the head of the red fox. So Ein lost his mind."

"I see. But I just lost my mind, how could I have slept for so long? I don't know what that means."

"I'm sorry, but there are special provisions like this. I had to conclude something like that.... Durahan went wild in Ain. If you're sure Chris told you, he (Durahan) used his moves. Attack enough to cause significant damage to the White King in just one swing... Bullshit."

Katima continues with a pale explanation. But Ain't got a lot of questions, and I can't keep up with my understanding.

"Wait, Mr. Katima. It's... it's like Durahan manipulated me."

"That's what I'm saying. Otherwise, there's no way I can use that move... the Durahan material I've been getting, it was such an unbelievable offensive force. So much so… I think it was a unique individual Durahan."

"Dear Ein... After Ein fell, I measured my strength and magic. It's to see your body's situation. And then the magic was completely zero, and I was running out of strength."

To Katima's explanation, Chris added the situation at the time. Ain has tremendous health and magic. Why has that decreased so much?

"That's what I'm talking about, Ein. I think Ein's magic isn't enough to force him to convert his health."

Not so long ago, its Durahan offensive power boasted a terrible strength. That's what happened.

"I'll put it more plainly. Maybe that Durahan was so powerful that he could afford a sea dragon. Well, Ain't forced her body to take a heavy burden, and her body went dormant to recover it."

"... well. I see, I mean, my own family... seeing the person who did harm to the Demon King, is that what you're saying? Then I can understand the other thing."

"From Nha, he was wearing a special cloth with a sealing process to prevent Ain's body from rumbling. That's still happening... So, what's the other thing?

Katima tilts her neck. But Ain deflected his gaze from such a katima, and turned his attention to Silvard by the throne.

"Grandpa."

"... oh, what?

"The Red Fox has moved to Euro... on that continent. Think you're getting ready for something?

"He's always a well-perceived kid. Sure, the rest of us think so"

"And in the future, surely, you think you're going to do something to Istarika?

"... ah. Exactly."

That's the concern, I mean, they fanned the Demon King and attacked people. We will also have to gather information on what purpose we let people attack us, from now on. And that figure was found from the next continent, I don't think there's anything ahead.

"Oh well...... yeah. I see... so if you do anything wrong, I might be targeted too."

Ain't convinced when he sees Silvado nodding quietly.

"Hey, Mr. Katima. I've been trying to contain that Durahan, and I probably don't need that seal anymore."

"... why not?

"She said she was okay, so I finally figured out what it meant... The other thing I just said was about her. So I'm fine."

"Who are you talking about...?

Ain only breathed one, deep.

"I guess I'd be best off with them.... Grandpa, let me look into it first.... about the Red Fox."

If... in case the Red Fox tries to take action, that may not be in the near future. It could be about a distant future.

Ain thought about that. But still, Durahan or Elderlich...... as someone with ties to them, I can't think of abandoning it.

Ein has Lloyd on Silvard, and Katima on Warren.... One last glance at Chris' face, and then I put my resolve into words.

Ein woke up for about a month.

Numerous things flowed visibly.

First of all, the school had extended the regular exams as an exception, so I did all the exams I had saved. Of course, my grades have dropped, but I still manage to maintain a set (first) is a success.

I took the time to talk to the three bats, Leonard and Loran, who haven't seen each other again in a long time since. It's just that Ain was supposed to be on a long job, and that's why they worked hard on Ain.

Although the use of the wheelchair was stuck, he explained that he was injured on the trip.

After that, I desperately continued to rehab my body. That said, Ein's body quickly turned to comfort to see if she (Elderlich) had done something for me, and I felt better now than before for a month.

And finally, I visited beneath her to fulfill the promise I had made before heading to Euro.

"Hey, Krone."

"... hey. I don't think so.

Not the castle, but her house set in town...... it was the home of the Augusto Chamber of Commerce and the present house of Krone.

Ain't that what happened as a krone because Ain't suddenly headed for no promise, Ain't that what Ain't gonna say 'hey'.

By the way, today, it seems her grandfather Graf is on a business trip at the Chamber of Commerce.

The day Ein woke up for the first time in six months, and within that day she (Krone) came to the castle. Of course I had many tears in my eyes and it was Chris and Olivia who held me to Ain that reacted the same way.

I've been dating Ain's rehab for most of the past month since that day.

And today. Because Ein is also off today, Krone was also in his own house.

"Ha... well fine. Welcome, Ain, come inside."

"Yeah. Thanks"

Enter the beautifully wrapped Krone room. Ain't been a big surprise to the people of the Chamber of Commerce since I came to this building. But knowing about Krone, they passed Ain into Krone's room without any doubt.

"Not at all anymore... you know? Not a lot for women, huh? Sometimes I have to do my duty. So suddenly it comes..."

Even though he gets a little angry, Ain just nicks and opens his mouth.

"Hey. You want a date?"

".................. Huh!?

After a short stiffness, Ain't happy to see Krone exaggerated and surprised. Ain't doing all sorts of things abruptly is a routine tea meal, but Ain's sudden words were still offensive enough to take away her thoughts.

Spring is coming out, which means warm cheer and calm skies are spreading. That's when the two of us start dating.

Its warm cheerfulness made it a great day to date. He was walking in a sparsely populated area and arriving at his destination.

"Shit... no more water, right? Right?"

"No, it's soothing."

When it comes to dating, you can't go away. I can't even get to a place that stands out so close to the Wang capital. Going shopping is just a line. You have to avoid boulevards and such.

So the place Ain chose was the harbor of Wang Capital. It was a narrow harbour compared to the Magna, but near the Princess Olivia that was moored there.

Here, the people of Ishtarika can rest assured because of the places they never normally come in.

"Hey Ain't? Why are you just looking at it while you're on a date or something?

"Watching Krone play with them is so soothing."

By the way, Ain't got no escort today. But the covert men watched over Ain and Krone from behind.

Chris forced me to put it in this shape.

"Oh... well... but no? I need you to deal with me properly."

"I know, ma'am. Yikes."

Ain was sitting on a crate placed on the pier. And the opponent Krone was playing with was the twin sea dragon. That's what we should call demons, their rate of growth was unusual. Rather than that, there's probably a problem with the bait.

One killer was amused and gave the twins many demonic stones. I had bought everything from cheap things like 1000G to more than 50000G for expensive things.

I appreciate you keeping a record of your daily growth and taking care of me. But I didn't expect the killer to grow up to this point, either, 'I didn't expect this! But I can't stop you!' and so on.

As a result, the twin sea dragons will surely continue to grow very quickly.

"Nevertheless, I grew up sleeping for six months, these guys."

"Culrrrrrrr?"

"Queue?"

"Your voice is cute, but your body isn't just cute anymore."

El and Al. The two sea dragons have already reached 5m in length and still have quite a combat capability. I hunt for the little demons that live off the coast myself, and they seem to feed on it, occasionally bringing souvenirs to the castle.

I bring sea crystals rarely, so it was a souvenir that I couldn't be too foolish about.

"We can both come back to the castle through the waterway now, but it's gonna get tough soon."

"Yep. Is that sad for you as a father? The castle will see you soon, but it'll take a while here."

"... because, well, it's best to grow big, right?

Watching Krone inquire with a grin when she dulls, Ain't I glad to be here to see you today.

Because of the two sea dragons, they connected the castle's waterway to the waterway outside. Many seals were made, and the passage, which was made strictly, was made only for them twins.

"... so? What's wrong, Ein?

"What's going on?

Krone, who was stroking the head of the sea dragon, shook his beautiful light blue hair.

"Ha... already. You think I don't know? Don't be angry, will you?

A musty face doesn't change that poor look. I smiled a little, but decided to be honest with you before you really pissed me off.

"What if I wanted to see something completely demonic?

"... Oh, that? Uh... yeah... unexpected..."

Krone with a void poked look at the same time Ain answered. I think I missed something.

"What's the matter, Krone?

"... Yep. I thought you were talking about the Red Fox. Was it different? What..."

Krone has also heard that Ain will look into the Red Fox. That way of looking into it has not yet been reached, but it is natural that it will nevertheless take you to numerous places, and that it will also involve dangers.

"Oh, I'm sorry! I thought it was that way... well, that's one problem, but now you're saying it was a little different"

"Yeah, well... Being a demon, I mean like Durahan?

"That sort of thing. Katima said it wasn't a possibility."

Ein, whose job is already named. That is what demons usually get, so their concerns and speculations cannot be ignored. And as I looked into the red fox, I was worried about being completely demonized under Durahan's influence.

"So as a demon, you mean there might be a rebirth?

"I guess I could say that. Because it means being a demon."

Krone looking at Ain with his neck clenched. From shaky hair, it smells sweet like Krone's unique flowers.

"... has that happened in the past?

"There used to be magic that could do that, so it's not impossible," he said.

Listening to Ain's reply, Krone begins to think further. The way he put his thin, well-shaped white finger against his mouth was somewhat glossy and beautiful, naturally taking Ain's eyes away.

"Shall we do this then?"

"Uh...?

"Yep. If you ever really become a demon. I want you to give this to me again from Ain't Reborn."

Krone pointed at Ein with a star crystal bracelet that she was wearing on her left arm.

That's the same as it used to be and continues to shine beautifully.

"That won't be a problem. Isn't that right? If I can get a Star Crystal from a reborn new Ein as well, I have nothing to complain about. Right?"

"But I don't think there's a problem..."

I don't understand what Krone is talking about. Whether it's a demon or if you give me another Star Crystal, that's fine, even if they say so, Ain't just confused.

But Ein lost sight of the other meaning of giving away the Star Crystal, the Proposal.

As a testament to that, Krone would have been happy to receive a Star Crystal from Ein.

"Well, if that's about it, of course... but okay?

"Huh... Ugh. That's about it, but I'm here because that's how it starts, right? It would be sad to be treated so lightly."

Krone joins hands under her chest and tells Ain she's unhappy.

"Oh, I'm sorry! But I'm surprised..."

Let me say to you, when I saw Ain, Krone smiled softly again.

"Hehe...... already. Fine, so if that ever happens.... Constraint?

"... ah. I promise. If that happens, have Krone receive another Star Crystal"

When he heard Ain's reply, Krone sat down next to Ain, beginning to walk lightly in his footsteps.

"I can't help but think about the red fox. Ain't the best fit, so I know it's the best."

Krone takes Ain's hand and starts talking over it with her own hands on top of it.

"... you don't always leave the King's Capital, do you?

"Of a month, I think it's about half. Ishtarika has a lot of water trains going on, so you don't have to travel long. It doesn't mean I'm not going to school."

And perhaps, from now on, you will also enter and exit the guild. Anyway, the adventurers have more information than the country has.

"... yes. So... sooner or later, you go to Heim or something?

"Yeah... I think I do. Maybe there's more information over there."

Krone had already anticipated that she was going to tell him from herself, but that she might go to Heim.

Are you worried about Ain't, Krone stroking Ain's hand in his hand. Ain't starting to get nervous gradually because I'm a little embarrassed and tickled.

"That's all Ain was worried about, all he wanted to say to me?

"Huh? Oh, uh... yeah"

"Yes. That's fine... shall we go then? Look, stand up, Ain't!

Krone stands up abruptly while holding Ain's hand and begins to pull Ain. Without resisting it, Ain leaves himself to the flow.

"Hey... K, Krone, what's the sudden matter!

"... it's a date, so you don't have to be in one place, do you? If we don't make it through the boulevard, it won't even make a big fuss. Come on, let's go, huh? From now on, you're going to have to stick with my shopping!

Crone's figure with a full smile, which I feel dazzled whenever I see it.

Ain walked away from the pier where she was playing with the twins as she pulled her hand. Although the twin sea dragons gave a slightly lonely voice, they dropped them off.

Little by little, but the way Ain goes will be tough. That's why I want to enjoy a time like today.

That was not only Ain, but Krone was thinking the same thing.
