This is one case that seems to have been resolved lightly, but it was rather difficult since defeating the demons.

Apparently, the demons had ended the villagers’ mastery itself much earlier, because nearly two years of memory had been lost from among the villagers.

Although there are no memories of each other because they are all villagers, not all of them were adults.

Some of them are children, etc., and a child’s two years makes quite a difference in appearance for some people.

Above all, they were all down outside if they noticed.

If that were the case, there was no way I wouldn’t be confused.

Still, the confusion was minimal because Ingrid was there.

Apparently, the attitude the villagers were showing Ingrid was an exact imitation of their own, and Ingrid’s take on them allowed them to settle down relatively early.

Well, that Ingrid was Ingrid, and he seemed to care that he didn’t realize the devil was possessed of him, or that he was casually taken over by the devil’s ploy… the switchover around it is just something like that?

It seems I immediately understood that it was the devil who was responsible for my memory and the villagers’ different attitudes, and that it would not be Dade who told me that he relied on me from Eleonora.

Most of all, I’m apparently not confident in my power… either.

Although it was possible to recover the villagers from the confusion in that way, there are many other things to do.

Even though the villagers had no problems with each other, it was true that a two-year blank existed, and above all there was a demon lurking in a place that I would say was right next to the Holy Capital.

It has not so much to do with the Somas as far as the former are concerned, but at least there is an urgent need for a report on the latter.

I needed to get back to the report immediately.

Nevertheless, there has actually been a minor dispute between the Somas once regarding there.

The villagers were divided between insisting that the report should be given priority every once in a while and insisting that we should still see the village just in case.

Incidentally, the former is Ingrid and the latter is Soma and Hildegard.

I don’t know if it’s the opposite of normal, but I guess that’s why it was.

In addition to blaming himself, Ingrid has a verse that contemplates that because he is a related party, he cannot blame himself.

When you think calmly, you must have found that although the villagers don’t really feel it yet, from now on, things are going to be a lot harder together… well, it must not have been that Ingrid was able to fully recover from the shock of what happened to him.

It should be said that Ingrid broke in the end when it came to the matter… or broke it?

But honestly, I don’t need Ingrid to make a report.

Though it was Ingrid who was the Holy Knight and received it as an official assignment, that Ingrid was undoubtedly under the influence of the devil.

It is not appropriate to make an accurate report, rather we should be here with the villagers just in case.

If I told you so, Ingrid accepted, although reluctantly.

Most importantly, Ingrid would have realized that it was either a trick or just pre-construction.

In the unlikely event that you say something like that, that’s why you should be held captive.

It is essentially a verbal discourse, such as leaving it alone without surveillance.

But the Somas knew that wasn’t necessary, and in short, that was just an excuse.

Whatever you think, the village still needed Ingrid… and I’m sure Ingrid needed that too.

That is why only Soma and Hildegard returned to the Holy City.

“- That’s the approximate upside of this case.”

And, just finishing up talking that far, Soma turned her gaze forward.

It is the Lord of this room who is there, and the nominal Lord of ‘here’ – Eleonora.

Somas had already returned to the Holy City.

After all this, it was about time for the sun to set, but not much time has passed since then.

Almost all the time spent explaining the situation has passed.

“I see… I didn’t even call you. How could you, but that’s what happened”

“I used it because I thought it was necessary?

“Yeah, I think I do now that I know what’s going on. But I think it’s only natural that I was surprised too suddenly.”

That being said, Eleonora comes with a stubborn gaze, but as a soma, she just shrugs her shoulders.

I didn’t mean to surprise you, or I didn’t have the means to get in touch with you from here, so I have no choice.

It was Eleonora who gave me the ‘alle’ in the first place.

If you want to complain, I want you to say it to me then.

“So I’m not trying to complain about anything. I’d rather praise my judgment then, considering how useful it was. I’m just surprised to hear that.”

“Well, it’s not like I’m on his side, but I’m surprised, naturally. I wondered what I’d do when I said I’d go home now.”

It was something that came up as a natural idea as a soma, so I’d just lean my neck even if they said that.

Because I have a situation around the corner that is suitable for it, it would be natural to use it.

Yes, the Somas are already in the Sacred Capital because they used that magic guide that Eleonora gave them.

“Well, like I said, I’m not complaining… and it could have been in a different way. I was just wondering if I’d call you honestly.”

“Hmm…? What does that mean?

“- Let me explain that to you. I heard about you and the others, and I know what’s going on.”

If I turned my gaze to those words, it was Satya who was there.

Besides, Soma was surprised because I didn’t think Satya would ever come out of that room.

It is also within the same temple here, but it is much closer to the common place than there, and others will come and go.

In case you think about it, you shouldn’t be here, and you shouldn’t have to.

“I can generally predict what you’re thinking, but don’t worry about it. You just have to pull in when someone gets here.”

“Hmm, I don’t mind if you guys do that… by the way, I think it was about tomorrow?

“I was gonna do that, too. They woke me up sleeping in a good mood.”

“… can you stop saying it like I’m bad? You know what it took, don’t you, Satya?

“Of course I do. It’s just a joke.”

“… I want you to stop joking like that”

It is a perfectly powerful exchange, but now is it established between God and his followers that PowerHarassment?

Satya shrugged her shoulders toward this one if she looked at it with that in mind.

“Well, something troublesome and troublesome has happened, that’s why. Perhaps it has something to do with the information that you and the others brought back.”

“Does that mean, a demonic relationship?

“I don’t know if I can say that eventually, but I can’t say anything about affirming that…”

…… What’s that supposed to mean?

“Well, before we talk about it, shall we start with a little bit of information that you and the others have brought home? It’s better to connect from there.”

I know it’s somewhat far-fetched, but I wouldn’t do that if I didn’t have to.

If she nodded because she had no particular problem, Satya opened her mouth after showing a slight gesture of thinking.

“First of all, yes… I’ll have to apologize to you. Sorry, this is totally my mistake. That’s right… there’s no way I’m not paying attention when I’m certified to be the Demon King”

“Hmm…? What’s that supposed to mean?

“Did you wonder what the devils did this time? What I was doing too much was too warm.”

That was certainly true.

While lurking in a village just outside the Holy City, the demons ended up doing little.

I couldn’t even find a trace of Hildegard and I were doing something, so I’m pretty much sure of this.

It is now up to us to conduct a more detailed investigation… but I’m sure there will be nothing to overshadow that conclusion.

“I know why, do you say?

“It’s going to mean it turns out exactly, well, I guess it’s not a mistake to say that. I mean, here’s the thing. This time… No, probably, the last two or so years of demon-possessing noise have all been done to try you out”

“Give me a soma…?… if you ask me, it’s certainly not a convincing story.”

“Is that so?

“The problem with demon possession has been that you’ve known very little for two years, haven’t you? That’s what’s been going on at an incredible rate since you ran into Ingrid, so if you think about it, it’s all connected. I was wondering why Ingrid wasn’t the only one taking over, but it’s probably the bluff that didn’t take over. I guess I was going to use my intuition skills from the start.”

“Yeah, I guess I agree with that. Somehow, I guess the devil was giving instructions. Or, according to the story, he seemed to have dived further down the unconscious, so I guess he was starting to feel that way as a result. It’s a very good idea.”

“Hmm… but we need to know that Ingrid has intuitive skills, right? Otherwise, I doubt he would have followed the word somehow. Even so, it seemed like the first time Hildegard had told him himself?

“I guess that simply means that the other side also knew about Hildegard. And I was probably expecting Hildegard to move with you. Yeah, and finally what, actually, we both knew she had intuitive skills, right? I just don’t know which way it’s going to work to give you extra information, so I was just checking in.”

When they said that, it was convincing.

Though I trust you, I thought you often believed in the feeling of Ingrid somehow, but it’s not so surprising if you knew about your intuitive skills.

“For once, I’ll tell you, it’s something else that you believed in and relied on about Ingrid, isn’t it? I don’t think it would have changed much if I didn’t know about intuitive skills.”

“It’s true, though, that it was a bit of a pushback, and you’re a really good hand. In short, it was a match pump, so that’s how you hit it.”

“Or maybe some of them were really informed by their intuitive skills”

“It seems possible. It would be more ambiguous.”

“Well, as for asking Ingrid to know more about that area later, is that… is that the point in a way from here? I don’t know how we came to that conclusion…”

With the words, Satya’s gaze is directed toward Eleonora.

Then Eleonora took a piece of parchment… no, when she took the paper out of somewhere, she offered it to the Somas.

It’s unusually white. It’s a luxury product at a glance.

It was supposed to be something that could rarely be seen in this world… Hildegard, who saw it, gave me a disgusting look for some reason.

“… what kind of paper does it look like?

“I’ll tell you one thing, we really didn’t do anything about this, did we?

“Maybe, but you want to tell him that this has been read about my actions in the dark, too. It’s going to be a lot… really, in a lot of ways.”

Listening to such an interaction, I looked through what was written on the paper I received…… Hmm, Soma nods.

He shrugged his shoulders when he turned his gaze to Satya.

If I were to say it in short, it was sent by the Empire.

There is only one country in this world called the Empire.

That is the country that exists in the central part of the continent, but Soma also didn’t know so much about the Empire.

However, I have heard that it is about the oldest and most prosperous country… I would have had considerable influence over countries around the world.

That’s the equivalent of the Holy Capital, or more than that.

And what has been conveyed from such an empire, using fine paper, is as follows:

This time, the Empire captured what even a true demon king should be called, and found out that the Holy City was hiding it.

Therefore, the Empire demanded his surrender to the Holy City.

“If it is not fulfilled, I will not resign to the use of force, then…? I feel like this is almost a declaration of war anymore…?

“I guess I’m actually going to. We can’t give you Soma, and then we can’t avoid collision anymore.”

“Hmm… by the way, what happens if my senior goes to the Empire in accordance with this?

“Maybe it won’t change, will it? I’ve developed some difficulty and I think I’ll end up doing the same thing. From them, my presence will only stand in the way. That’s why it’s the same even if you left here, Soma… no, in which case there will be more ahead of the declaration of war in two? Probably not just for us, but for you too.”

“To receive a declaration of war from the Empire has been a great thing for a long time…. By the way, this means that the Empire has the hands of the devil, right?

“I guess. I think that sounds like something I said and could have predicted, but I can’t believe I’m moving so fast… not good, I’m totally behind the wheel. However, it won’t make a difference to do it for a while… well, for now”

So when Satya separated the words, she gave a sarcastic look.

And.

“Congratulations, Mr. Soma. Apparently, you’ve been recognized as a threat by the world.”

“Really… that would be an honor”

Keep your mouth open, to the words unleashed, Soma gives such a response.

Thus, apparently, this seemed to have no other path than to engage in earnest, and he exhaled one great sigh, thinking of his own desire, which was just going away.
