For example, winds with extremely low temperatures.

Let’s say I compared that to a snowstorm.

In the former case, the wind hits the exposed skin like a face.

Then, after a little while, you will feel the cold as if it is gradually painful.

And in the latter case.

In the latter case we must be prepared first and foremost to be covered by the worst sight.

This means that the risk of shipwreck is much higher.

When you think about it this way, it won’t matter what the former thinks.

Because even if you feel pain at all, now that you’re still in strength and you keep walking, your chances of dying are almost nil.

You’re losing the sound of snow.

“Yep. The temperature is even lower around here.”

As Dill said, the temperature drops every time we approach the former demon king’s realm.

A situation where the surface snow has not dissolved and is dry.

Therefore, even when I stepped on the snow, there was no sound of gu, gu, and as an image, it was sarcastic as powdered snow.

Because of it, those who slipped on its snow continued to emerge.

Guidance from the guild is walking behind the Ains.

Though I will provide guidance, I need to walk while escorting around because there was a danger of demons appearing.

“… snowfield training.”

“Snowfield training…?

Near Ain, Lloyd and Dill walk as escorts.

Though Lloyd raised his voice and gave instructions from time to time and was directing the organization, his main job was to escort Ain.

When Lloyd opens his mouth, his white-dyed breath leaks.

No matter how stubborn a knight as he is, it is only natural to be affected by these natural influences.

“Yep. As soon as I return to the King’s Capital, I thought I would appeal to His Majesty. … training in areas with snow. You should increase that.”

“Right, Father… And now we cannot face the people of Ishtarika.”

I guess we both did pretty well.

The more Lloyd thinks so, the more harsh the journey to the former demon kingdom is.

There are terrain problems, there is no snow like this near the Wang capital, and temperatures have never dropped further down to this point.

“You will need to organize your budget. So it’s not that easy… but this is still urgent. You should impose snowfield training in Baltic on Kingsguard knights.”

“Uh…… I knew I was unhappy with Mr. Lloyd.”

“Well, I’m saying it sounds great, but I’m having a hard time, too. Dill, it’s up to you to go back to the inn, so get your ideas together. All right?”

“Yes, Father.”

Looks like we’ve got a new job for the Knight Parents and Children.

The task is to prepare a draft of “Snowfield Training in Baltic”.

Always a head down thought, but Ain’t praying for your body to be careful.

“Nevertheless… the view is good. The environment sucks.”

Silver world on one side, in a frozen sky on one side.

Snow like large grains of cotton wool shaking from time to time. A world of first-class scenery, beautiful to say the least.

It was just a secret place, but it’s too cold.

To the former demon kingdom, after a few ramps, it is necessary to cross a single ramp.

It seems half the way has already passed, another stomping or something.

Take a deep breath and send this cold air to your lungs.

Then my body feels cold for a moment, but it feels more like my body has refreshed than that.

“… Dear Ein. Please stop.”

That’s how I enjoy the air Ain’t got Dill’s voice.

I seem to have discovered something and started staring at the distance.

“Father, something is coming at two o’clock.”

“Okay…. Whole stop! Intercept!”

Ein also reacts with Pickle to Lloyd’s signal.

I was ready for the Hand of Fantasy so I could fight whenever I needed to.

“Dear Ein. Step back, please. Stay in a way that’s sandwiched between me and your father.”

“Oh, oh, okay”

Lloyd stands forward and stands up to protect Ain.

He pulled out the large sword he was carrying heavily, and took it in his hand with a front-eye stand.

The Kingsguard knights who were also walking behind them pull out their swords and try to surround the researchers and the guides from the guild to escort them.

Once you enter the former demon kingdom, for some reason, no demons will appear.

However, it has not yet entered the realm, which is why demons from the Snowfield Zone appear.

“… Enemy Shadow 3!

“Confirm medium! All enemy shadows, 12 o’clock!

A knight who confirms the enemy shadow with a telescope tells everyone loudly what it is.

Lloyd and Dill, who heard about it, exhale quietly and relieve themselves of what doesn’t seem to be a big problem.

“Did you confirm the enemy shadow?!

“Ha! All enemies shadows, bitches, rabbits!

… Huh? What’s that?

Rabbit version of the goatmeunagi?

Humorous naming attracts Ain’s interest.

“Yes, that’s right… Dill, I’ll kill everything. You stay away from Ain’t, no matter what, just protect Ain’t. You can’t protect anything else.”

“Yes, sir.”

Tell him to do it, Lloyd, who wields his sword lightly.

Ain was mentoring Lloyd, so he knows his strength by himself.

But this is the first time I’ve seen his strength in an actual battle.

It’s obvious, but unlike during training, it strikes me that it involves killing, etc.

“Hey Dill. What kind of creature is a jerk rabbit……?

The goatee is never called a goatee because it has eight eyes.

Because there are six holes in Ella and they look eight combined with two eyes, they just bear the name Yatsume.

But rabbits. There is no such thing as Ella in rabbits.

I just want to know what kind of adult you are when it comes to it.

“It’s a rabbit about 5m, living in a cold area.”

“You’re too big. It’s not a rabbit.”

“Ha…. By the way, it’s a rabbit-shaped demon with eight eyes, just like the word” goatee “. And then, as you can see, is it about six legs… oh, by the way, it’s carnivorous”

I was afraid it was just as the name suggests.

What do you want to do with eight eyes in such a cold place?

Ain’t feeling subtle when aiming for eye drops is also a struggle.

“That’s the way it is…”

“Yep. But there was another feature…”

“Features?”

Make a noise called Dododo, and three goatmeat rabbits approach.

Guess it’s because it’s carnivorous, Ain’t got the whole line as bait and they’re going to storm us.

But without worrying about the momentum at all, Lloyd is reliable in wielding the sword and examining his senses.

The ramp of the Yatsume Rabbit keeps moving toward Lloyd without losing momentum.

“Funnnnnnnn!

Ein said, “Hit it! ‘I meant the moment I thought.

A goat rabbit running the lead stops the movement at a distance of about 2m directly in front of the Lloyd.

What’s the matter with you? and the more the surroundings questioned, the less pickly the air stopped.

Lloyd’s sword, shaken down, begins to penetrate the ground.

“Yep. It’s a trait…. The rabbit is so gastronomic that it’s called” Snow Mountain Gem “.”

“Isn’t that great?”

I heard good things about this. Lloyd looks back at Ain who thinks so.

The two remaining palm rabbits stopped at about 10 m back and began to catch a glimpse of this one.

“Hmm…… Is it still difficult to keep up?”

“You looked heavy, Father.”

“Oh. But, well, it’s not bad, it’s something I can handle unexpectedly”

The two parents and children started the conversation as usual.

What are we gonna do with the stopped bunny rabbit? and Ain puts it on his face.

“Dear Ein. You got some pretty good ingredients. This is good luck.”

“Uh, Mr. Lloyd? He’s stopped, but what’s wrong…?

“Hmm? Oh, you mean this? Don’t worry, it’s already over.”

Finished?

What’s over? The question only deepened, but the answer quickly appeared in Ain’s eyes.

“Here’s the thing. No… sometimes it’s good to wave a sword like this”

Then he went to the side of the Yatsume Rabbit, which stopped nearby, and suddenly kicked Lloyd.

After that, the body of the goatee rabbit shifted from the front, and after a few seconds, the body opened beautifully toward the left and right.

“Dear Ein. I have one idea…. just one thing. Working out just one thing makes it special. That meant it was” one-sided “for me. How was it?

The moves Lloyd worked out risking his whole life.

That is outrageous…. was a move from a pure straight front.

That’s the only move for Lloyd, the strongest move.

Its amputating surface, which beautifully amputates the whole body, is exactly the sight that even seems to be art.

Blood spread all at once from the cutting surface, which dyed the silver ground red.

“Huh…!

——……

The two Yatsume rabbits, who were on guard, walked away early enough to see it.

I guess you understood that you shouldn’t have your hands on it.

“Well, Dear Ein. Here you go.”

Not caring at all about the grotesque, Lloyd approached his body and wandered.

Then take out one object, wipe it with snow, and then show it to Ain.

—— There’s no way a foodie Ain’t gonna notice that when he sees it.

“Ma, Demon Stone…!?

“Taste it later. The meat also spills, but I thought this would be the best thing for Ein.”

My fondness for Lloyd was probably the moment a few steps jumped.

An unexpected raid led to the decision to put it on premium ingredients.

That was too much of a word to motivate them, as they began to get tired.

“In the end, everyone loves delicious things.”

“Dear Ein. Don’t give it too much mood and not even eat the demon stone you brought in.”

“… Yes”

A competent aide has already informed Dill and Lloyd of this concern.

Ain, who received the demon stone of the goat rabbit from Lloyd, walks lightly with his face.

It is undeniable that many ingredients taken from as many as 5m body bodies have resulted in the compression of luggage.

But given the many benefits it would bring, I couldn’t have abandoned it.

I finished demolishing it with a few knights and packed it in my luggage with the snow.

I bring enough food, but I still feel safe that I can hunt locally.

“Nevertheless, that move was amazing”

“Is it your father’s?

“Yes, yes. When were you hanging up? I thought so.”

“Sure. I think that’s really brilliant.”

How did you get the blade to arrive when you said there was a distance?

Even if it can be delivered, it’s not a human trick to open it, including the spine.

Ishtarika’s strongest knight. I think that’s why I caught a glimpse.

“It was a beautiful helmet. … the walls that Dill has to cross seem to be quite high”

“Ha ha… But you can’t lose. I’ll make sure it collapses.”

Dill and Krone.

Ein, blessed by his men, was fortunate.

No matter how decent the master may be, it can be as much about his men not being decent.

—— A line that kept me walking for a few dozen minutes from the raid on the Yatsume Rabbit.

The uphill slopes, including unfamiliar snowways, finally come to an end.

From here it finally becomes the flat journey I haven’t felt in a long time.

What that means is that we plugged into the former demon kingdom.

“Dear Ein. Finally.”

“Right, Mr. Lloyd…. I think I’ve managed to avoid shipwrecking anyone.”

After all the trouble, we only had to raid the rabbit.

Let’s just say the journey went well.

“Dear Ein, by the way. Quick, but one thing I’ve found out.”

“What did you find out?

I coughed with Gohon and Lloyd changed his mind.

“In the former demon kingdom, demons don’t live there. The demons are intentionally avoiding it.”

“… go on”

“Ha…. I checked the escape route of the Yatsume Rabbit and the footprints on the road they were headed for. And some beasts and another footprint.”

When were you sure about that?

That surprises me, but Ain’t learned too. That even from a small place like this, we can get information.

“They’re not showing signs like going up this ramp. It just seems intentionally avoided.”

“Does that mean today happened?

“I did think about that, too. But… with all due respect, this is my unique feeling.”

Ain’t what Lloyd’s trying to say, but I need some information.

Continue to ask for his opinion.

“Fine. I want you to tell me what Mr. Lloyd felt.”

“Yes… then I will tell you”

Gradually the heart sounds louder.

What words come out of his mouth and what did he feel? That doesn’t stop Ain’t distracting me.

“It’s been since I finished going uphill earlier. I felt it clearly from there……. we are watched. I’m ahead of you, from something.

Chris also told me, as if I was being seen by something. Said it was the place where I had that feeling.

And Lloyd had that feeling as well. If so, then there is no more blame for that, and it is likely the fact.

“Chi, Father…”

“Dill. Maximize your alert. All right?”

“Of course. But… what the hell is that?”

“Uhm…… I see”

Dill, like Ein, is interested in what Lloyd felt.

If you look at his forehead, you can see some sweat floating.

“… let me tell you right now. If it comes down to it, just Master Ain. Just protect Master Ain and go back to town, okay?

“Father up……!? That’s no way even your father could lose. Is that what you’re saying!?

“Well. That’s something you don’t know if you actually cross swords. But yeah… at least they could take one arm and one leg at a time”

A feeling that is only intuitive, so to speak, unrealistic.

If I say so, killing chills and chills can be considered a form of intuition.

Even if it doesn’t feel realistic, it’s a special sign that a guy like Lloyd thinks this way.

—— You can’t possibly not feel threatened with that.

“So I say it again. I order you to be the head of the Greyshire family. If you need anything, just protect Master Ain and go back to town. All right?”

“… Indeed, I accept”

Dill quietly agrees.

But it’s only strange… what’s the point of bothering to keep an eye out from afar? Are you on guard as an intruder?

If we were to treat him as an intruder, wouldn’t he come out to use force? I don’t have an answer for thinking or thinking about it.

What I know is that even Lloyd may feel threatened.

The other is that its existence has yet to come out of hand.

“Nevertheless, I don’t think Ein will be harmed.”

“… to?

“I expect Durahan and Elderlich to have an influence. They were heroic and full of charm that attracted the inhabitants. So if whoever is watching us was of the demon kingdom, is there a safe part of it?”

‘That makes sense,’ I convinced him.

The current Durahan is suppressed by his daughter-in-law (Elderlich), but he may come out if he has to.

If you believe in books or records left behind, Lloyd might be right to say so.

“Father, you are forbidden to be alarmed, are you? Totally…… have another weird prediction”

“Heh, what’s weird? What’s weird! It would be possible!

“We’d rather believe in our own arms than be so uncertain.”

“… Didn’t you start to say it, Dill”

To the interaction between the two, the tense atmosphere is relieved.

The knights who were listening nearby also begin to grin in their faces.

“Ha ha! Looks like Mr. Lloyd will be losing soon.”

“… Ah, even Master Ain!

I smile in my face and start to tear up about Lloyd.

Lloyd’s such appearance was unusual, and the Kingsguard knights similarly laughed.

“Come on, guys. The old demon kingdom is almost here! When you arrive, you can rest slowly, so keep your mind on your way!

Grayshire Parent-Child Exchange and Ain ’ t. By those two, together, we regain the kind of energy we had when we left the Baltic.

A march on Snow Mountain, which will be a nabas more than I thought.

He remembered the illusion that by spiritual annihilation, his body would also become tired.

As Ain says, there shouldn’t be many paths left.

Moraled by those words, together, we continue on the journey that plunged us into the former demonic kingdom.

The flat road is a happy place.

Is that one lesson you noticed about those things?

The time approaches noon and temperatures gradually rise.

Then the light of the sun also increased in intensity, and its light reflected on the snow and glowed gently.

Light snow as a feather.

But it disappeared as we approached the former demon kingdom.

Now there was a blue sky on one side, showing a calm aerial pattern to the Ains.

“Something warm.”

“Yep… to be honest, it’s a little hot in this outfit”

“Sure. But it’s hard to wear it when you take it off.”

I feel relaxed about how warm and cheerful I was.

What was the harsh environment up to the hill, and the way it made me think so, gradually transformed the way it hit.

“Master Lloyd! According to the Alliance, you can already see the old Demon King’s Land!

“Oh, okay! Good luck reporting!”

From the information I was escorted, I receive a delightful information.

Finally, this long journey is over. Together they raise their voice of joy at the information that they will arrive in the old demonic kingdom, which is their destination.

“When you arrive. I need to give you a break first.”

“Thank you for your concern. Dear Ein.”

Lloyd bowed his head and thanked him.

In fact, Lloyd, Dill, and Ain were equally tired, making it a situation where they needed a break.

“… and you saw it”

Lloyd, who walks in the lead, finally sees the look.

The land we finally reached, is the Demon King’s Land? and had a sight to question.

“Father… For the sake of demon kingdom, you’ve got a lot of ground.”

Dill next door had a similar idea to Ain.

A cobblestone with several types of bricks arranged and intricately patterned, like drawing an arch. By the way, it’s collapsing, as have past incidents, but I guess degradation also affects them.

Though the standing houses had already collapsed, they nevertheless used bricks as well to show off their sturdy appearance.

“That’s the height of culture. And look deeper, that’s the Castle of the Demon King.”

Imitated to Lloyd’s voice, Ain also looked to that aspect.

Standing there is a giant castle. But he looks familiar.

“… White Knight?

It was a castle in the king’s capital, similar to Ain’s house.

However, the shade contrasts with the black tone.

If the castle of the king’s capital is called the white knight, can the demon king’s castle be called the black knight?

“But right…… yeah. I don’t care what the name of the castle is now.”

And as with the castle of the king’s capital, a gigantic gate stands before the castle.

“Ha, it does look a lot like White Knight…… A, Dear Ein?

I kind of felt it.

I want to step on that cobblestone quickly. He wants to step into the land.

The emotion that springs from the depths of my heart is somewhere nostalgic, like being miserable.

Like sad, like happy. I can’t sort out my feelings, but I didn’t lie to the thought of being happy to be here.

“Sooo… ha…”

I breathed naturally and heavily.

I get the impression that the land has no colour, as if the time had come.

I couldn’t hear the creatures, the wind didn’t blow, and even the inorganics felt dead.

Plus the landscape full of dead trees just reinforces that impression.

“This isn’t right”… I don’t understand where you thought it was, but the word comes to Ain’s mind.

……

He shifted his gaze and glanced at the castle of the demon king in the distance.

Still burn the figure into your eyes and gaze into a room that was on the castle.

I was conscious.

This is probably something the Durahans miss.

But he couldn’t feel the way he was going to break out again, so Ein gave himself up to the emotion.

I don’t know what’s in that room.

But I’m sure it was a place of memories for them.

Whether you’re a demon stone, and even now that you’ve been sucked by yourself.

They miss their homeland. Now that I know it, Ain decided to give in only one thing.

“I’ll lend you my mouth if you say something.”

You got something to say?

Yes, I was going to ask them.

And if you have something to say, I’ll lend you a word or so. Yes, I told them.

Soon afterwards, I feel something boil up deep inside my body.

Did he and she wake up?

Now don’t rumble… pray, Ein opened his mouth naturally.

But the next word was shorter and more concise than Ein had imagined.

“”… I’m home “”

Lloyd and Dill heard male and female voices from Ain’s just one mouth.

The two of them assumed it was Durahan and Elderlich, with a slight judgment.

They were two worried something would happen, but with Ain’s calm expression on their eyes, they change their perception.

I guess Ain did something for you. He looked good enough to make me think so.

“What… did the wind blow?

Dill squeals like that, but that didn’t end there.

The dead trees begin to grow leaves softly, and from somewhere they begin to hear the whispers of little birds.

Coincidence? Lloyd stood next to Dill in such a strange phenomenon that it made him think so.

Come on, let’s go.

“A, Dear Ein!? What is your body…!?

“Nothing. Just, hey, because I just let you say one word. I’m sorry. On my own.”

Ein thus took a step toward the cobblestone.

Then at the same time as that step, an extreme situation occurs.

“Huh… the gate opens…!?

Sounds like earthquakes echo, and the gates that were in front of Demon King’s Castle open. A knight sees the sight and raises his voice to his surprise.

“Stupid…… I can’t believe the gates of Demon King Castle open. This has never happened before…”

Hearing the researchers say so, the knights take simultaneous vigilance.

Two people, Dill and Lloyd, get stuck surrounding Ain.

—— but this sight is as if this land, which had ever lost its colour, breathed back. For the first time in hundreds of years, I just said I was back in the right shape……
