At the end of a metastasis that fell into a rift in dimension.

I'll hear more about it!

"I'm just home -"

"Oh, welcome back... what's up?

I open the front door in a slightly depressed mood and announce my return.

It was Mr. Aroness who brightened me up like that.

No one else seems to be here.

"Is that just Mr. Aroness?

"Right, Lynn and Cell went together, and Mirka and Arne are not back yet"

I didn't see you two on the doorstep, so I guess you went with the transfer.

Mirka was supposed to be talking to Inai, but she wasn't home?

"Um, what's going on? You're probably depressed, but you didn't make it?

"No, you're fine over there. It's just a little bit about my complacency and immaturity."

I've been shown the real 'difference in power'.

I'm not willing to quit working out, and if I can catch up, I'm willing to catch up, but it's pitiful and hard today for now.

Now, I'm about as good as the average person thanks to Mirka and Lynn's sigoki without enhanced magic and immortal Qigong.

You were too complacent.

"Uh, Inai's 'alle'?"

Maybe it's about the exterior.

That one surprised me with boulders. Maybe there's a lot more.

There seemed to be a gimmick in that itself.

"Yes."

"I'm a little special. Don't get sick."

Mr. Aroness encourages me, but I have some time to get back on my feet with all this.

It's not like I thought I could win, but I'm embarrassed that I was complacent.

"Shh, hey..."

Mr. Aroness goes to fetch a towel with his cheeks polypolished and throws them at me.

And then he opens his mouth a little frightened.

"In the meantime, take a slow bath. I'll tell you something a little funny when I get up there."

"Is that an interesting story?

"Ooh."

"Huh..."

It must be an interesting story. I'm concerned.

This type of story, which I would say if I had done something, bothers me weirdly.

"Hola, you said you were worried about your face. Come in if you want to hear it."

"Ha, hi"

I'm going to take a bath, as I was told. They told me to talk when I got up there, and I'll be honest with you.

When I took a bath and washed my body, a small pain ran on my body.

"Stay... uh, were you able to scratch a sleigh? When I hide, I guess."

This was good before Mr. Inai noticed. Because he seems a little concerned.

Let's cure it while we can.

"I'm up -"

When I tell Mr. Aroness that, he serves drinks out of the fridge and prepares them.

Thankfully I recieve it and sit back on the couch.

"I've got something cold for you, so let's have a drink and talk."

I was given tea, but Mr. Aroness looks like alcohol.

The smell of alcohol is unique.

"Uh, first, yes. I'm talking about the alchemist in the letter."

"Oh, well, Mr. Aroness, I'm an alchemist, and if you're a celebrity in the industry, you know it."

"Uh, no, that's me."

"Huh?"

"Aroness Nehres. That's my full name"

Did you have a family name?

Like some common fantasy stuff, I was wondering if anyone wouldn't name it.

Does everyone else have it?

"The rumor he heard."

"Really. It's not like I'm just hiding out."

"Maybe it has something to do with what Mr. Inai was saying?

"Correct"

Could you possibly tell me why the people here live in the tree sea?

Not that I've ever questioned it, but I was worried if it was something I could ask.

"We're actually people who serve our country. I live here at work."

Serve your country. We were all civil servants.

Oh, is that right, Mr. Lynn, a civil servant, too?

"Work, was it?"

"Well, I do what I want to do in my free time, I do other work that comes sometimes, and I live there, as you can see."

Is that what Mr. Aroness often makes in the living room?

Speaking of which, I thought you said something about it from the army. That was a request from the state, too.

"Hey, Cel and Mirka were going to King's Capital. I wasn't even there to report it or ask for a job. Well, Mirka had quite a few dates."

Oh, we all know that. Mr. Mirka, you're pretty grand about that.

I wonder who they are, what they are like.

"The job is about this sea of trees."

Mr Aroness says as he looks at the window.

Beyond it lies a dark sea of trees. It's a little creepy to see in the middle of the night.

"The Tree Sea... is it pioneering or something?

"Rather the other way around, so that no one can get in, so that no demons can come out. The demons here are pretty strong. If you come down to the city, it will be devastating. That's why I can't even pioneer it. It's too big, and there are too many demons to get the manpower."

Oh, I knew I was strong, the demon here.

I was somewhat anticipating that the ghost, who was said to be the weaker one, was around recognized as strong.

I mean, he tells me honestly. I wonder why they haven't told me before.

"Most importantly, the country in the north is not attacking Umr because of this sea of trees. So His Majesty told me to create a bond so that no demons could descend from the sea of trees to the country. It was almost over recently, and the demons down the mountain were long gone."

North of the Tree Sea is another country. I wonder if there was a war or something.

Still, it's a hell of a connection to stretch out on such a vast lot of land.

"If the Tallow knocked it down today is a detachment that was outside the conjuncture because of haha, it's still fine. But if you've come out of the juncture, it's possible you're deficient and you're still out. This time Inai went to check it out. The device of the junction was made by me, Inai and Cell, and if it's just a little self-confident, it's a little depressing."

That's what I'm laughing at, Mr. Aroness. Is the device of the junction even the work of Mr. Aroness and the others?

I mean, if that's the case, Inai, that's an important position.

The device would feel like a moving tool system.

"It is now our job to install tree seas until they can be completely severed at that junction."

"Is that it? Then Mr. Mirka and Mr. Lynn, and why is Mr. Arne with you?

If that's the story, the three of us should be fine.

At least I don't think Mr. Lynn can help with that.

"That's it, hey. Well, maybe it's not a mistake to live in hiding."

"What do you mean?

"Long before we did this job, we got a little too uptight on the battlefield. I've become quite a celebrity in the country and it's been a lot of trouble. That's why His Majesty cared for me to take it easy and cure it until it was almost cold."

Battlefield. I guess there was a war. Did Mr. Aroness fight, too?

Unlike the rest of us, there's no fighting atmosphere, so you don't know.

But you're a good king.

"It's been eight years since I realized that. Cell and Inai, I've normally made it home because I can use the metastasis, too. Mirka can also lend Inai tools to normally go to Wang Capital, so this laid-back life has become commonplace and she can't leave. Of course, the tree sea is too wide to do a little bit of maintenance on the installed junction device."

I see. Install it, yes. Couldn't it be done?

It's not over yet, so I guess that's what happens when you're all here.

"It could be improved a lot now, probably to the extent that it should be maintained once every forty years. I want to think."

"Do you want to,"

"I'm a little nervous about what happened today."

Well, don't you know what will happen if Inai reports it?

What would happen if there were deficiencies?

"And the biggest reason they're here is to treat them as emergency personnel when we're not around."

"Yeah, but there's nothing Mr. Inai or Mr. Aroness can't fix..."

I don't think Mr. Lynn can fix anything.

No, you definitely can't.

"I can't do that. But you know how strong they are. The exorcism if there is a demon that has fallen out, and the face to maintain the situation. Perhaps it would be better if there were fifty of us now to be able to defeat the demons here alone in the country. There will be less when it comes to sub-dragons."

I don't know what the population of this country is, but I, I'm in those fifty.

No, don't be complacent, remember Inai earlier.

... Okay, I'm depressed. Let's hear more.

Hmm, wait, can Mr. Arne afford that alone?

That whole body muscle isn't dat...

"If you need anything from the country, you can go right now, so I can relax in this place."

"Are you able to make emergency contact with Wang Du or something?

"That, take a look"

That's what Mr. Aroness says. He points to the stone on the front door.

Spirit stone... not. What was that?

"You didn't tell me that one yet. It's called a magic crystal stone."

They hadn't told me yet.

Something you don't know. I don't know.

"It's something that compresses and crystallizes more magic than spiritual stones. It feels like you're connecting that line to the medium where you can talk directly to Wang Du. The magic street is pretty good, so it's easy to get through even if you're bad at magic. If anything happens, I can get in touch with him. I'll contact Inai's bracelet, so it won't tell anyone."

Achievement. Magic is convenient.

But then, I wonder if distance communication is common for you.

"But eight years, can we be that far apart? I don't know what it's like to be king, but it seems like you're resting all the time at work."

"We don't think that's a big surprise, and we can use metastases, so it's good, but if we're weak and we can't use metastases, it's a lot of pain, right?

"Oh well."

Behind such a mountain, there's a pretty dangerous demon, and he sleeps there. Certainly not if it's normal.

From the point of view of the average person, is it going to be that I have been doing a lot of work over the years?

"All I know is the upper echelons of the country, and for the first time since the union was completely formed, they're going to make it public that we did it. I wonder if that's why it got rumored that one of those guys slipped his mouth polo."

Maybe that's what the rumors came from.

But that's something you shouldn't divulge. I wonder if you're okay...

"I picked up the tallow while I was checking, so..."

"Thank you so much for that verse"

"It was Lynn and Mirka who picked it up."

That's what I say and laugh at, Mr. Aroness.

But this guy takes care of me a lot, too. I appreciate it as much as you do.

"This is why we live here, but you've never heard of it before, have you?

"No, I'm worried if I can ask."

"Haha, what the hell"

Mr. Aroness laughs with a caracalla. Didn't you hide it in particular?

After hearing all the explanations, I once wondered one thing.

They flushed it, but we're talking about the North.

"Yes, I was just talking about the feeling that the other country across the tree sea is leaving the tree sea unattached, is that a dangerous country?

"Oh, it's absurd. It's dangerous over there. I don't want to fight and sell without all of us."

"All of them?"

"Oh, there are two more guys, the guy who was on our shoulders."

"Are you two still amazing..."

"One is Cell's brother Guldoor. The other always works for the Royal Castle as a king's escort, a knight named Oomlow."

Apart from the people here, there still seemed to be people who were out of standard. What's scary about it?

But you're Celes' brother.

"Whatever Lowe is, the Grud one is missing. You must have regretted losing to the cell."

"Oh, could it be that Mr. Celes said his brother before?"

"Hmm? Were you listening? That's about Guldo."

"He said we killed each other, but..."

"Are you listening to that too? Yeah, well, they're serious about killing each other. If I had taken a wrong step, you would have really died. If the place we fought wasn't wilderness, the city would have gotten better."

What is that end-of-century battle?

But Mr. Celes, I don't know because he's someone who can attack relentlessly while nicoting.

"Well, that's a country that people fear."

"Well, Lynn's the only one who's going to be happy to go in there."

Oh, I get it. It comes to my attention. That guy sounds like he's having fun when he's swinging his sword.

It doesn't seem particularly fun to take them down in itself, but you seem to like to fight them.

"Hudunador"

"Huh?"

"That's what they all call the king there. There's someone who deserves to be told that."

"Duh, what does that mean?

"It's with the demonic name, it's the name of an old demon. If you mean it now, it's the Demon King."

Demon King. Are you there, this world?

Somehow, I thought it was a world where there was no such thing.

"It's not like I can follow demons, though. It's just a different species from humans. I suppose anyone but humans who's harmful to humans wants to think 'demons'."

It wasn't what I thought. Besides, I feel like I missed something.

If that's how you call yourself the Demon King, it's a very sad story.

But the way Mr. Aroness said it, I feel somewhat negative.

"That's what Mr. Aroness said, isn't that what Mr. Aroness thinks?

"The way that country does it, Chico, but in terms of the species, yeah. If we can communicate, I don't think we can get along."

"I think it's good. I like the way you think about it."

"Well, thank you. Ha, it's a little hot because of the booze coming around."

That's what I say and laugh lightly. A man is a man at all costs.

I can't do this.

"Well, a little distracted?

"Yes, thank you"

Not all of it stopped bothering me, but I could hear a good story.
