The brethren took the three men they had captured to an empty house they had secured as a base of operations, and divided them into private rooms for confinement.
The man, who was also a Riod adventurer, seemed to be able to make normal judgments, suggesting that he might be someone who is cooperating with Raheit of his own volition.
That's why I thought the information we'd get here would be an invaluable clue. .......
Are we done? No, it was an alias, wasn't it?
Coming out of one of the rooms was the Purple Demon Lord from Taze and his bodyguard, the great demon Duvraeoli.
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to have to.
"There's a minuscule magic seal embedded in his head that cancels out any mind-involved magic. I've tried to take it in with my 'lost belly', but with its resistance to mental interference, it's impossible to read it right away.
The Raheit are cautious, it would have been easier if one or two of them had been left open.
I'm sorry I couldn't help you, okay?
Don't worry, I'm the one who found out that Purple was hiding out in Kuama before. It's no wonder that Rahite, who learned about it via the Scarlet Witch King, is planning countermeasures.
It seems that threats are not enough and the results are not good.
But my compatriots don't seem to be particularly bothered.
"Humans, it takes time, but inside my 'lost belly' I can torture you beyond death. If I push you to the edge of your mind, will you give up the information?
He's a human being, even if he's ready. It's possible, but how long will it take?
He's an expert. It'll take a few days to get him to the point where he doesn't break down.
Worst case scenario, that's fine. It's just that now is the best time to catch him. If the guide has disappeared, there's a chance he and the others will disappear. For now, let's start with the quickest way to find out.
My compatriot sits on a chair in the living room and puts his hand on his chin as he thinks.
The purple demon king sees this and silently sits next to him and leans in close.
...... is distracting me from my concentration.
It's a good thing I'm not the only one. I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
That being said, there's nothing you can do for me at the moment, okay?
That's why I don't say anything and just stay here.
...... It's selfish of me to complain about it. I'm fine with it. I'll think about it.
Yes, thank you.
The distance between the two of them is much closer than it was in the early days.
My compatriot is just starting to let me go, but the Purple Demon King's expression is clearly softer.
I don't know if it's possible for things to change this much, but it's something I can say for myself as well.
When I looked at Duvraeori, he was quietly staring at them from a distance.
An honest question came to me, so I walked up to him and asked in a whisper.
"What are your thoughts on those two, Duvraeus?
What are your thoughts on ......, let's see. The Lord said he would not rely on the power Yugra gave him to ensnare the human. I don't know what that's worth to you, but if that's what you want, I'll see to it that no obstacles come in my way.
And what about your people?
"I don't value that man as much as you do. But he is the only person in this world who can bring peace to your heart. I'm convinced that I should recognize and appreciate that.
You're not going to help me?
"I'm your power, and if you want me to, I'll give you everything I have, but you don't want me to. He treats me as a separate entity and sees me as someone who supports him. I have to accept that.
You don't seem to have any autonomy .......
No, of course not. I'll continue to be who the Lord wants me to be by my own will. That is the true nature of a demon in the service of the Demon Lord, and that is what I want.
I was trained by my father, Beguragud, as a tool to kill humans.
At the time, I thought my father's words were all that mattered.
That relationship may be similar to that between the Purple Demon King and Duvraeus.
But the resemblance is only on the outside, the strength of heart is different between me then and Duvraeori now.
Duvraeori has been given the power and opportunity to be free.
But even now, he chose to serve the Purple Demon King, and that determination is still with me today. .......
I'm sure you'll be able to find something that will help you.
You asked a boring question.
I don't mind. I don't think it's a useless conversation, as long as you stay out of my way and help me understand what I am.
Okay. ...... And while we're at it, if you had to give an honest opinion about this scene, what would you say?
...... In fact, I think it's annoying that I keep staring at it.
Aside from the Purple Demon King, my compatriots seem to be under pressure.
I don't think it's possible that it's my fault that their relationship isn't progressing.
I can't deny it, but I can't confirm it either.
I'm not going to deny it, but I'm not going to confirm it.
I'm sure you're not the only one.
I have a message from the Blue Demon King.
The Blue Demon Lord asked you to give him a message?
The Blue Demon King asked you to give him a message? - He told me that you would be so focused on that human that you would forget the message.
Well, that's exactly what happened.
The Purple Demon Lord only sees his own people now.
The Purple Demon Lord no longer sees you as a compatriot, and considering his personality, he probably decided that asking the polite Duvraeus would be the most effective way.
So what's the message?
"He wants to check on the demonization again as soon as possible. He said he needs to give her some magic power each time until her body gets used to it.
I see, but there's no problem now. It can be done after this case is over.
It seems so. I can see that the quality of the magic power has changed even more than before.
The Blue Demon King is very disciplined, taking the initiative to take care of those who have become demons to prove that he will not betray them.
"You've become a slave to the Blue Demon King, perhaps he wants to teach you that correctly.
"I see. You have a point.
It's true that I should be more aware of the fact that I'm under the Blue Demon King's command.
However, since I have no experience of serving anyone, it is hard to feel it.
My relationship with my father, Beguragud, is more like domination, and my people are like a common front.
However, the master-servant relationship does not seem so bad as far as Duvraeus is concerned.
It will be a great growth for me to be able to have such a clear intention.
That's it for the message.
"Understood. If I ever return to Taze, I'll head to the Blue Demon Lord as soon as possible.
This conversation is making me feel sorry for the Blue.
Just as I was about to finish my story, my compatriot approached me.
My help? I'll help you where I can, but I can't be too far from the master.
Don't worry, you'll be working within the confines of this house.
What do you mean you feel sorry for the Blue Demon King, compatriot?
What do you mean, you feel sorry for your fellow blue devil?
"As I was saying, wasn't it to remind him of his position?
You can't use a compulsion order to do that. Take your time.
You'll see. .......
I guess that's what your compatriots say.
I don't feel good about the implications, but this is a problem I can solve, so I'll work on it.
I'll try.
Open the door of the private room and check out the man inside.
This guy is a guild member of Riod, his name is Hassa.
He is a member of Riod's guild, and his name is Hassa. He seems to have a very tough mentality, as he does not succumb to the slightest threat from Duvleoli.
When Hassa saw us enter the room, she was not intimidated or emboldened, and was calmly looking at us.
He was trained by Rahite to a certain degree, and is a perfect spies.
"How are you doing, Hassa?
He has a gag in his mouth to prevent him from speaking, so he doesn't reply, but he doesn't show any sign of insulting us, who pose no threat to him.
I signaled Exequip to remove the gag.
I have already checked his mouth, so there is no problem in letting him speak.
The frightening thing about the other world is that if you bite your tongue off, you can be healed in time.
...... I'm sorry, but I'm in a position too, I can't just cut your mouth off. I'd like to thank you for not torturing me too badly.
Then the scary guy you just introduced me to will have his way with me.
I'll be with you until my heart breaks.
It's easy for us to steer the ship because they don't keep mute, but they seem to have a strong sense of camaraderie.
It may be that he is genuinely afraid of Raheit and the people around him, but ...... you don't need to worry too much about that.
I've only lightly acted on my understanding of Hassa.
If you're as active as Raheit in various actions, you can understand his personality and behavioral habits.
However, I have too little information about her behavior to make a full effort to understand her.
However, I've got at least some of his characteristics, which is clear from his reaction to the incident at the bar.
If you could just tell me the name of one of the bigwigs behind this, we could end this quietly. Well, since you're here, I'll introduce you to some of our employers.
"Oh, that's great. I know it's only a souvenir, but it's better than nothing.
It's better than nothing." "Well, if you say it like this, it'll get more than a few bites, that's the goal.
I went to the door, put my hand on the knob and turned around.
Then, looking at Hassa's face, he slowly opens the door.
"What?
An old subhuman man emerged from the door.
His clothes were reasonably well-made, but more conspicuous was his stern demeanor.
He looked like the head of some mafia family.
And the expression on Hassa's face at the sight of the man is more agitated than ever before.
I was going to do something similar for the other two, but I'm pretty sure they're surprised.
Since I'm going to go out of my way, I'd like to confirm this with a verbal response.
"It's pretty upsetting, isn't it, when your employer is your boss?
You're a fake?
You're so quick to notice. But your reaction speaks louder than your words. Duvvlei, that's enough.
When the old subhuman heard our words, it underwent a series of unpleasant expansions and contractions and transformed back into Duvraeoli in his butler's uniform.
This is a combination of Duvraeoli's 'lost belly' and 'vacant back'.
First, Duvraeori takes in Mikus, who is familiar with Quama's character, and puts him into Duvraeori's "Lost Belly".
Then, he reads the suspect's image in his memory and creates an image of him in space.
Finally, he uses his "blank-eyed back" on the image and transforms it into the suspect's form.
In addition, Mixu was subjected to some light psychic interference, but he was happy to have had a rare experience, so he didn't mind.
"Compatriot, it's true that this guy looked shocked when he saw Duvvleoori, but it's not surprising that he knows the members of Riod.
"That's not a problem. I'm not sure what to make of that. I'm not sure what to do, but I'm sure it's a good idea.
"......
I'm sure you'll be able to figure out how to get the best out of me.
This guy made the fatal mistake of letting me figure out one of the Riodside masterminds.
"You've identified one of the people that Raheit was actually in contact with and working with. Frankly, I'm sick of the scale of it.
You're right, ......, I didn't think that guy was connected to Raheit.
In the event that you're not sure what to do, you'll be able to always ask for help.
And the countries that emerged were Taze and Mejis.
The powerful people who were not entrusted with the management of the land swore allegiance to the country and became nobles.
The guilds were founded by those who wanted to maintain their power.
The guilds were named after their founders, Liod, Morgana, and Schneid.
In the beginning, the founder's family held the power of the guild, but as time went on, the guild's supreme leader was chosen by the most capable person of the time.
Even so, the founding family still flaunts their support of the guild in the form of counselors and sponsors.
It was one of these families that Duvraeor transformed into.
Jestaff-Heliodoras. He's a descendant of the same subhuman family that founded Riod, and is Riod's advisor.
"The guild's most important man has teamed up with Raheit to cause chaos. Shall we go and take him into custody as soon as possible?
No, I want to do the same thing to the other two first. You know, I've got a really bad idea in my head right now.
"...... What do you mean?
The other two we captured belong to Morgana and Schneid respectively.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
You'll be able to get a lot more information on the web. The other one even slipped up and said, "Why you?
My bad prediction came true, and I stared into the distance, puzzling over what to do.
"Cheneyas-Morganize, Morgana's advisor. "Chenillas-Morganize, the counselor of Schneid." "Lobito-Goshenite, the counselor of Schneid. They're also in cahoots with Raheit.
The executives of all three of the world's major guilds were all ready to take hostile action against humanity.
