69 Great Stuff.

Time goes back a little bit, when Ain took a trip to the Demon Arena.

"There are demons everywhere..."

"Some of that is quite unusual. There are no aquatic organisms like sea dragons..."

Ein managed to fall asleep even when he went to bed last night, in what was somewhat difficult to sleep. I was so looking forward to today's day. The weather is nice and there's nothing too cold about it.

"But people are amazing."

It's like a white rose during a morning rush. That and the nearby crowd were felt, and the popularity of the demonic arena peeked.

Numerous bets and spectators from all over the continent pack up to see the rare demons. It was also a reputable tourist destination in Ishtarika.

"It's also a famous tourist destination. And it's a precious stage to see the rare demons in a safe place. That's why so many people come."

Ain't looking around in an excited way, as if your eyes were shining.

A big dog with two heads or a giant slime. Even large birds with four wings... many demons meet together.

"Is that Wyburn...?

In front of a cobbled arena, he discovered the figure, which stood out in large measure. The figure is very visible in an arena made of stone overlays.

"Uh... yeah, right. It's called the Gray Winged Dragon, and it's a species there in Wyburn."

"Heh... Can I stay close?

"It's okay. The demons brought here are fine depending on the vicinity if you don't touch them on your own. For the nobles, they want to show off their pride in demons."

Convinced, Ein takes to Wyburn just in sight. There seemed to be other people besides Ain who were equally interested, and by Wyburn many were packed.

"Wow. Big!"

This Wyburn, which would be about 15m in size if it opened its wings, received a lot of attention. When I see that trick, Ein is also moved, and I stare with my mouth poked open.

"Stunning size, and well looked after...... but seems to have little experience in action"

"I'm the bigger one. But how do you know I fought less often?

There were several men by Wyburn. If you see the chains in your hands connected to Wyburn, you can easily imagine that they are the ones entrusted with management.

"The pterygoid is too pretty. For example, if you are a strong demon, there is no such example…"

Apparently it didn't show up that strong. But I guess I've been raised dearly, and Wyburn in front of me shows everyone how beautiful he is.

... Wyburn who was spreading his wings and showing himself around, but he had eyes with Fu Ain.

"Hmm? Are you looking at something over here?

"Yep. You've stopped looking at Ain completely..."

Wyburn stares at Ain without blinking. The wings that were spreading are also gradually folded into smaller pieces.

"Hey you. What's the matter with you?... Huh!?

I was going to care about Wyburn. "What's wrong? 'and stretches his fingers to Wyburn to convey his will.

Wyburn, who sees the trick, folds his wings at once and lags a little behind. The moment also lagged behind, looking at Ain without blinking once.

"... Hey, what's this?"

"You're on guard, Master Ain. You mean alert or rather... you're scared. I didn't expect you to scare me to the point of Wyburn."

"It's a delightful, exquisite part of it."

Finally, Wyburn lagged behind to the wall. Keep it small and round so you can hide yourself with your wings. Those around them looked strange, and a little more voiced.

"What's wrong!? Why is our Wyburn so frightened..."

Then a pig noticed the noise...... no, a nobleman of good stature came on the spot. Then the man who managed Wyburn begins to explain what happened to his nobility.

"I see... you! You did something to our precious Wyburn!

"... eh, me?

Like Moses, the occasion opens and Ain and Chris take a prominent form.... and the aristocrats pointed to Ain and opened their mouths to make Ain put that drop on him.

Try Bo for a recap, but this troublesome scene won't blow up anywhere. And the air in this place doesn't improve either.

"Huh! I am Sage Oink, the head of the Origin Oink family. He's a great nobleman entrusted with several agricultural zones!... think about your position. I have the power to take care of you."

Which is disrespectful, if you correct that, it doesn't make a difference to them. Anyway, Ein is a king prince, so he's far above power, even though he's hiding himself. —— or who you are, was Ain's biggest question.

"I see, sausage"

Boss, zero what I thought when I heard his name.

"Once I tell you, it's the Viscount House. What do you want to do? Shall we hang up?

"I don't want to clam because I'm scared."

Ein would cut it in an instant if he said 'yeah'. I have that trust, because I have it, there is no way I can express my will to affirm it. In other words, the cause of this time, even though it is not intended, has something to do with Ain, so I don't want to do that much livestock as Ain.

So let go of your hand from the hand you put on Rapier. You need to calm down first, okay? And put your heels on the ground properly.

"Excuse me, Viscount Sage. But she's my precious woman, I can't respond to that... and under the voice of His Majesty the First, I can blame such trafficked remarks. So I was just wondering if I should suppress statements that went too far."

"If you think you're wearing pretty good clothes, were you a nobleman as well? Then it's just fine... then you know what I mean? It's about what's real to us nobles and what's before we build."

"(Oh, this is a nasty one. No more obvious violations)"

The gallery you're looking at in the far-roll probably hasn't received the words Sage spoken. That's exactly what I seemed to be paying attention to. He cuts the front and is careful what he says about breaking the words of the First Majesty.

"Ahhhhh..."

Stay out of the light. Stay with me.

Chris, next door, seemed happy, albeit in the light of the word 'important woman', with a tight face. Is that all right, escort? Or so I think. But today it's like half private, so I can't be too Ein or strong.

"If you were scheduled to appear today, of course, let's make that compensation. I'll pay for that with hardware. So why don't you put it away?

"... even if you don't say so, just fool around and lend the woman. It would be cheap."

Sage liked Chris. It shouldn't look like Chris as usual, but it doesn't change that she's a beautiful woman. And even for Sage, Chris was so beautiful, it was more valuable to spend the night with her than the hardware.

"I can't do that. So please use hardware. Third parties will be properly assessed to compensate for today and… indemnify separately."

Don't answer badly, you just have to plead not guilty. It's not like I didn't have those thoughts, but when I watch the sage that's going to come of dust if I do something, I don't want it to end easily.

"That's why she said she'd like it. Don't make me say it again and again! My family is a Viscount, but we are still entrusted with the management of many territories, and we are smart with other nobles...?

"(Mm-hmm. I'm adding a guilty plea. It's like some kind of induced interrogation, but, well, it was Viscount Sage who first overturned His Majesty's words...)"

"Serve the people", "Be man, and never sell man" … a word left by the First Unified King, but it is still cherished and incorporated into the law.

Looking next door, Chris is still lit up. But my left arm will probably bring me Sage's neck in an instant when it comes to 'chopping' to see him hit by a hip-rapier.

I never realized when the people around me had moved, and in an instant I could be sure it would be done.

"So, what's your name? I'm not a bad person, and I assume you have a name for a nobleman?

"I'm late for this. I'm not getting a title..."

The identity of Prince Wang is not treated as a title in this Ishtarika. And Ain't no prince, so the title isn't strictly like that.

I don't have a title, so I'm going to name her after some kid from the Chamber of Commerce, and what about her pseudonym? I thought I'd use it on my own even in the names of the Grints, and the next word would be blocked by Sage.

"Oh, that's enough. Then I'm not interested because I'm not a nobleman. You don't have to keep your name up, because you don't want to remember it anyway. Whether you have the small money or not, it's a triumph with no honor."

... I've never seen such a rotten nobleman in Ishtarika. But this has also been a good experience, Ain't I thought so? Let's remember his name well for now.

"You. Do you have any demons?

"Uh... does that mean at home?

"Oh yeah. So, what do you say?"

That's what comes to mind when they say it was the figure of El and Al, the twin sea dragons.

Can I call it a magic modification? The fruits of nurturing by bait, which is too nice, are not unusual, but their appearance, which is already grown to a large extent, comes to mind.

"Yep. Yes..."

Perhaps even today, he is growing up quickly, fed a lot by the castle's service and katima.

Or would you still be out in the ocean today working hunting? According to the fishermen's report, the figure of demons living off the harbour has been drastically reduced.

That is obviously due to the work of the twins, who grew up enormously, which I guess has already become an offshore threat.... No, rather, it may already be the lord of the offshore, that way Ain't got zero natural grin either. Because the twins are like children to Ain.

"But because of the" aquatic "demons, it's hard to show off."

"Ho. You think it's an aquatic demon? Then it's in good shape...... how about that? I have a good idea."

Sage, with a delightful look on his face, slammed his demands on Ain and the others afterwards.

I met him at a bright time. What a hassle, around the evening and at night...... the sun gradually begins to set and an indescribably beautiful pattern is floating in the sky. The area is hugely busy and surrounded by the fragrant smell of numerous stores opening. One event ended earlier, and a number of spectators were trying to follow the scene.

"I didn't know it was so flashy... my eyes tickled"

"It's been a long time since I've seen so much magic, too. I'm so excited."

At first we were going to enjoy the demonic arena, but that appointment was rescheduled. Because I couldn't be sure that the signs Ain't had would not affect many demons.

So thinking about it, Ein suggested to Chris to abandon the appointment and go somewhere else.

By the way, of all the demons I've seen today, my favorite is the giant slime. Somehow she looked cute to Ain.

Then another magic city specialty. Took me to the magic arena.

"Aren't you going to fight with magic? 'Ein wondered so, but was convinced to hear Chris' answer.

If we hit each other with magic, it's natural to get hurt badly. It's unrealistic considering healing that injury. So it seems that it is the place that was established as a competition.

The event, in which adventurers can also participate, is as numerous as it is every day.

Many thunder magic that creates enormous amounts of ice that can reach dozens of meters or run around the venue. Ain't had a very exciting day too after seeing so many magic like I've never seen before.

"Hey, Mr. Chris, it's not like there's anyone in Wang Du who can use magic as well, is there?

"Of course I will. I just don't have a place to use it. And it's not a very fuel-efficient field."

"Bad fuel consumption?

"Doflashy magic doesn't mean I'm letting it go so many times. So when I use it, it's all just about being targeted."

Reasons why it is difficult to use powerful magic on people's bodies, it is also in the absolute amount of magic. That's not why I sell it cheaply.

"It's best to pick a scene and use it a little bit at a time. Especially if you're adventurers, you can adjust and activate as many demons as you want."

Wouldn't it have been a little easier to have wizards like today, even when Ain crusaded the sea dragon? I think so, but it doesn't seem to work very well.

In the end, it's durable.

The giant demons are all fierce who have survived to that time because of their mighty endurance. So if it's magic that people can use, it's usually unbearable. Because even if that's a powerful blow you bet on a single shot, they'll endure it.

"... ah. I'm sorry, Mr. Chris... can I have a moment?

"Uh, yeah, I'm fine... what's up?

As Chris was explaining, Ain seemed to find something and changed direction slightly and started walking. Seems to have some purpose, keep walking towards it.

"Dear Ein, what the hell did you find?

"Uh, I should have gone in here... oh, I was there"

Proceed to the shaded area next to the arena. It looks like a little rest stop there, with benches lined up under some planted trees. Ain't sitting there, walking up to one middle-aged man.

"Hey, good evening"

"... hmm? Oh, good evening. What's wrong, boy?"

When Ain speaks to the man in general, the man also replies with a good face of people. Somewhere that looked like a farce, Chris. I wondered what was going on.

The man looks a little more upscale than the average civilian figure, but that's as much for a merchant or something. It wasn't like it caught my special eye.

"Uncle. Did you win the bet?

"Luckily, I let you win today. Thanks to you, I got more pennies."

"That's good. So... --"

The foreground is over. Ain't finally starting to get to the point.

"Finished looking into it? Or is it just gonna take a few days?

"... uh, what the hell are you talking about, boy?

"Okay, let's change the way we say it a little bit"

Fu and Ain's signs change. It was filled with such signs, overflowing with the majesty that those who should stand on top felt a kind of charisma.

"... you can put aside the chain of command and other issues first. I'm asking for a report, so I don't mind giving it the highest priority."

Words without context, but the other man understood the meaning well. Then the man who heard it bowed his head to Ain, and then uttered the following words:

"... Ha. I now entrust the life of His Royal Highness the King. If you wish, I will give you the materials His Royal Highness Prince Wang will ask for by tomorrow."

"Huh? Dear Ein... What the hell are you talking about...?

Chris is the only one on this scene who doesn't understand the situation. Already Ain and middle-aged men seem to share a purpose and seem to fit in somewhere.

"Then I'll have that prepared.... Speaking of which, maybe three. You went back to Wangdu yesterday. The personnel for Mr. Katima are back?

"You're right, did you know that much?... Since when?

"It's from White Rose, does it fit?

"... that's right too. That didn't make any sense."

Phew, and show that a gently exhaled man surrendered. Chris, who has not yet figured out what it means, asked Ain again.

"A, Dear Ein! What the hell are you talking about..."

"I'm sorry. This man is a secret man used by Mr. Warren. He seemed to be more careful than usual, and I don't think Mr. Chris could tell."

"Huh...... how did Master Ain figure it out!?

Sure, Warren, the hidden bunch of kids are just hand-worked. But if Chris was being acted upon nearby, he'd be able to notice. But this time I didn't realize it for a reason. That even a group of people had prepared top-notch hand exercises this time, allowing them to act even deeper and more cautiously. Chris didn't realize it was fatal.

If this had acted any closer to Ain, Chris would have noticed.

"I guess I'm just used to that because there are always similar signs. Especially since I've been asleep six months since I got home from Euro, because it's strangely easier to notice all kinds of signs. That's why I'm sorry."

I've been human away for a long time, Ain't squealed like that.

"Well, that's why I thought you were looking into every morning. I got that idea too."

That's what I said, Ain't looking at a man more flirtatious.

"You're right. … Demonic props made by the owner of the Majolica Demon Stone Store, and their influence, from the outside, it is difficult to see with His Royal Highness Prince Wang, so we have judged His Highness Prince Wang from the outfit"

"... you know all the clothes I have?

"Of course it is. Because it's the knowledge you need."

All that, let's give it a pompous look. I never thought about that for a moment, not even knowing what type of clothes I have.

"What... come on, get back on your feet, Mr. Chris. You don't have to be depressed like that."

"So... but don't let me know who the escort is. I can't believe Ein noticed..."

"In my case, you were used to the signs, because it probably has to do with the demon stone absorbing and growing. So never mind, 'cause you're a good kid."

When I stroked his head pounding, he seemed to be able to regain his feelings a little, and Chris finally gave him his face. Probably if she had a tail, probably by now! and would have swung at quite a speed. Don't you have that kind of magic prop...? I decided to ask Katima one day.

Chris is some kind of dog and cute these days. That's why I feel good about it.

"So, dust, dust?"

"Let's see. Your Excellency has already been informed."

"I knew it...... so, what about Mr. Warren?

"It's a corner, so you wash the relationship, and you squeeze out the pus. And don't worry, Lord Burra, Lord May has arrived safely at the castle and is protected."

"I see. I'm glad you got both good information, thank you."

Viscount Sage seems to have produced a lot of dust if tapped, as assumed. Warren decided to use this opportunity to do a thorough research. It is also reassuring to know that Bahra has arrived safely at the castle.

"It's an honor to keep it in compliment.... but one more thing, because His Royal Highness Prince Wang will really accept his suggestion?

"Oh, is that a duel between aquatic demons? I don't think it's okay."

Here's Sage's suggestion: Fight aquatic demons like Ein keeps and aquatic demons that Sage keeps. So it was about taking the winner's suggestion.

"Then I would ask you to anticipate the time and set a date for your duel with Viscount Sage"

"Does that mean you want time until you're done looking into it?

"It's the left. Perhaps the place to duel will be a big river a little over an hour from the Wang capital. It's connected to a water source that flows through the Wang capital, so it's no problem to take the sea dragon. Also, the demons owned by Viscount Sage seem to be managed in a territory upstream of the river, so they are in an excellent location."

Considering the size and depth of the river would not be an issue...... he said so at the end of the day and finished explaining.

To be honest, Ain't thought I'd say no when he made that suggestion. I know it's for Chris' body anyway, and I didn't want to accept it in case you think about it. But Chris whispered to Ain then.

'Though a child, there is no way a nobleman can possess a demon that can defeat a sea dragon that has grown like that' ….

That's why I rode the word and commissioned the duel.

"So? What's Viscount Sage's proud demon?

If you just wonder, what the hell is that aquatic demon held by Viscount Sage?

"You're a medium-sized species of Kraken. It's really powerful when it comes to power... you know, somehow"

"Hey, Mr. Chris. Kraken..."

"Yep. I love sea dragons."

The twins will also want to eat their favorites once in a while. I decided to think so.
