A voice of dismay escaped his lips when he heard what had happened.
Suddenly, Rakhra-Sarv contacted me through the communication crystal, and Lord Ratzel seemed to be nearby, but I couldn't hear him.
He said he needed to consult with him quickly, and I panicked that his condition might have worsened, but it was nothing, it was just that Lord Latzel had clashed with him about him.
"Call it trivial, but it's quite a swashbuckling affair, isn't it?
It's just that Lord Ratzel objected to his methods and he distanced himself?
That's ...... quite understandable, Your Majesty Marit.
"Of course I understand, I call myself a friend, and I don't mean that in a bad way.
The whole story goes like this: those who have experienced his way of understanding in the virtual world of the Golden Demon King blame him for it.
He didn't argue with them and said, "Do as you please," and locked himself in his room in the mansion.
However, it does not mean that he never comes out, but he is quietly continuing his recuperation.
Lord Ratzel, who was at a loss as to how to deal with the situation, contacted us via Rakhra Sarf.
I've already heard of his methods from him, and of course I understand that they are not good for a knight who values his own establishment. Eventually, you may come into conflict with Sir Ratzel, who has learned of your methods.
You know a great deal about the Shosho, don't you?
It is his weapon, albeit a distorted one.
When he tries to understand someone deeply, he constructs their mentality inside to read their behavior in more detail.
The more materials and information he has, and the longer he spends, the more accurate he becomes.
However, the completed ego gets in the way of becoming the other person, so he lets go of even the ego, albeit temporarily.
All the values he has acquired up to now are put on a clean slate and rebuilt from scratch.
From the point of view of a person who is supposed to grow up, this is an act of insanity, but it makes sense.
Furthermore, he adjusts his position to make the best use of the information he has obtained through these processes.
He chooses psychological situations in which he can act effectively, and Lord Ratzel describes him in this state as dyed-in-the-wool.
The change in his first person symbolizes the degree to which he is aware of this, which is why he usually uses the first person in a strange way, saying "here".
Only when he acts with a strong will does he use the first person, and he is very conscious of his position.
It sounds good to say that it is functionalized and convenient.
But in reality, it is a countermeasure to the inability of a single ego to cope flexibly.
He is weak and cowardly, but he still uses such methods to do what needs to be done efficiently.
"But that method is obviously psychotic!
"I am surprised that you, who are neither parents nor spouses, have been given the right to deny him his way of life.
Don't talk like that!
I'm not being sarcastic, I'm just surprised that it's given to you.
"What do you mean, ......?
He said, 'This is it, do as you please,' and locked himself in his room, not, 'This is it, stay out of it. That's what he's saying, he's leaving it up to you. He's even politely given you time to think about it right now.
...... Is that what you mean?
If you feel that your relationship has been troublesome, you can simply tell Lord Ratzel that you appreciate his efforts.
I would have liked to be in that position myself, but I'm busy with my duties.
To be honest, it sounds like a love story, and he won't complain if I complain a little.
He's trying to end the current relationship, the one that's causing you all so much concern with the way he is. You can tell him to keep doing what he's doing and he'll accept it, or you can tell him not to use that technique again and he'll accept it. He has entrusted his future to you.
"......
"But he's my friend, and he has a choice to stay with Taze. If you insist on telling him to leave, I will order you to leave.
I wouldn't ...... say that.
Finally, make your choice carefully. Lastly, be careful what you choose. I like him for who he is, even if he loses his weapon, and I will still treat him as a friend. But without his weapon, his weakness will be nowhere to be seen. Understand that this is the act of cutting off the claws and fangs of a beast, the muscles of its limbs, and unleashing it into the wild.
"Thank you for ......, Your Majesty, Marith.
"Thank you, Your Majesty Marith." The transmission ends, and Lord Ratzel has not spoken a word.
I've given you the least amount of advice I can, it's not my place to interfere any further.
It was Lord Latzel who stepped in, and it should be left to him to sort out the situation.
I wish I could have been in charge, though, because friendships come first in these things!
"Then why didn't you just clash with him while he was still in the country?
A voice from within my field of vision, but I couldn't see it.
It doesn't usually speak, but sometimes when the surroundings are unpopular, it will speak to let you know that its existence is not a fiction.
It is an unguarded act that is absolutely necessary for his presence to be unnoticed, but without it, he would be completely forgotten.
However, I would like you to stop interrupting me when I use his tone.
Conflict is a difficult thing to talk about. I appreciate the way he does things, and it's the best way for a man who lacks the strength, magic, and intelligence to take on the people of this world. And as much as I appreciate it, I can't take it seriously. And you can't just deny him, you have to deny him for him. It's not easy to be in such a situation.
Well, we are in a good position to understand him, so let's leave it to the younger ones to clash with him.
"Well, ......, don't treat people like they're old. He's about the same age as Lakra Sarf.
You look your age when you're with him, but when you're in office you look twenty years older.
"What the hell, ......?
I hurriedly picked up the mirror, no wrinkles yet, right?
I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to do this, but I'm going to have to.
Maybe I should be a little more relaxed with Luko.
"No, if His Majesty suddenly changes his attitude, he'll be frightened and say, 'What, did I do something wrong? "No, if His Majesty suddenly changes his attitude, he'll be scared.
"...... Hmm, what should I do?
"I can teach you how to win her over.
Don't leave out the words, the implications just sound too disturbing.
------------------------------------
Well, it's been three days now, and I still haven't heard from him.
I'm sure you'll be able to find a way to get in touch with me ......, but...
Mikus has chosen to follow Marito's orders to the letter, and so far no action has been taken against him.
Wolfe seemed surprisingly unconcerned, and greeted Gladna cheerfully when she went to train him today.
The Golden Demon King said, "What did you show me? The Golden Demon King just smacked me with his tail and that was the end of the conversation.
Ilias and Lakra are the ones he cares about deeply.
No, Lakra seems more concerned about Ilias' condition.
It is a great thing to be able to take care of others as an older person.
It's a great thing to be able to take care of others as an older person.
I'm almost completely healed, and I would normally like to go sightseeing in Gurne, but since I'm on escort duty, I have to take Mixu or Ilias with me.
With Mixu, it wouldn't be so awkward, and it would even be better to talk to him one-on-one.
However, if I take only Mix, Ilias's position as a guard will be narrowed.
If he took only Ilias, it would be too awkward to go sightseeing, and he couldn't even imagine taking both of them.
That's why I've decided to stay at home and relax in my room.
Maybe I shouldn't have shown them so easily, but that's not how it works.
Originally, Ilias was worried about us, and this opportunity would have come sooner or later.
It's possible to keep on pretending, but it's a way of not hiding the change.
It would be a terrible thing to keep worrying about it in small doses, and we should discuss it at some point.
...... This is disgusting.
I'm not sure what to do, but I'm not sure what to do.
Just because you don't have the courage to end your relationship with Ilias doesn't mean you should throw everything at him, if Marito knew, he'd be appalled.
And then there was a knock at the door, and I felt both hopeful and anxious at the same time, and I couldn't speak at once.
First of all, you need to breathe. ...... It's okay.
Come in.
The one who opened the room and came in was Ilias, with a rather listless look on his face.
I saw a glimpse of Lakra in the back, but she didn't seem to want to come in with him.
The door is closed, and Ilias is looking at me quietly.
I let my gaze drift to the book at hand, and now it's hard to get it back.
"......
The silence hurts, and I can't even think about what I'm reading, but I'm acting like I'm turning the pages.
I'll have to go over it again later, but that's not the point.
Ilias doesn't open his mouth, and time passes by.
I don't know if I should make a move, but I can't stomach the idea of letting time pass like this.
I'd like to know if you're at a loss for words, or if you're waiting for me to say something.
...... is both.
Okay, if you want, I can take the lead on this. What do you want?
......, please.
You seem to be more troubled than I thought, so I can't help you.
I'll guide you so that you can speak more easily.
Just give me your honest opinion first, then your request, and then I'll wait for your response.
"I don't like the way you're doing it. I want you to stop.
"Okay, fine.
I don't like the way you do things, I want you to stop. - Okay, fine. ...... That's the end of the conversation, or if it were an essay homework assignment, I'd get a retake.
...... didn't have time to wait.
I didn't have time to wait. - You should have waited.
I'm asking you to give up your only weapon, how can you agree to that so easily?
Don't make it your only weapon, even the Iliad can fight without a sword.
"...... do you have any other weapons?
It's a terrible thing to say, but I've never shown you any other weapons.
Of course, there are only a limited number of weapons that can be used today, not to mention physical ones.
If you just want to understand your opponent, there are other ways, you don't have to be like an actor.
It is not impossible to imitate empirical rules or profiling from past events, although I am an amateur.
The accuracy and practicality will be greatly diminished by the fact that I haven't mastered it in earnest.
"There are many ways to do this, and they will be much weaker.
"And yet you can let go of ...... things that are valuable to you so easily?
To be honest, it hurts to lose a valuable tool that can be used in this world. "It hurts to lose a valuable tool in this world, but I can stop it now that you've asked me to.
"Are you implying that my words are worth that much? What is valuable to me is certainly valuable to you. I don't understand your lack of attachment to value, which is why I can't and won't believe in the value you perceive!
"Then you don't have to believe it. It's impossible to hold on to all their values. There are some things that you don't understand. Why are you forcing yourself to understand something that is not easy to understand without using methods that the Iliad hates?
"But you want to understand!
What a pain in the ass you are!
I just said what I was thinking.
But if you say you want to understand when you don't, I'm tempted to say so.
"That's my line! You always hide the important things, you never show them, you never try to make people understand, and you always show off your danger!
Don't tell me that I can't show my weaknesses to someone who is always showing his weaknesses!
"And now you want me to do whatever you want? What do you want from me?
I don't want you to do anything! I mean what I say!
So you'll do anything I say!
That's not what you said! I'm talking about maximum concessions!
You're a pain in the ass!
That's what I'm talking about!
That's my line! - No, I'm buying and selling.
Let's take a breath and calm down. .......
Ilias is thinking the same thing, closing his eyes and taking a deep breath.
It's not fair that I'm suddenly thrown into the middle of your future and I can't do anything about it. ......
"Cowardly is a word that ranks high on the list of words that would make a knight a villain if said by a ...... knight, dude.
You're a villain, you're a knight, I'm sure of it. I'm sure you're a knight and I'm sure you're a villain. ...... You understand the same evil, but you don't understand me.
I think I understand you to a simple extent.
"You don't really understand me?
......
Hey, don't look away. Answer me. You don't understand everything about me!
Ilias grabbed me, and although I felt that he was moderating his arm strength, it was still much stronger than the grip of a muscular man.
I'm sure you'll agree with me.
I'm not sure how you can say such an embarrassing line without hesitation. Do you even know what the word means?
I'm sure you're not the only one. That's not ...... that's not .......
We both fell into an awkward silence.
What's with this atmosphere, well it's the Iliad's fault.
I'm not sure what to make of this.
...... Forget about that.
Isn't that a bit reckless?
So we're back to square one, right?
The Iliad has become a familiar face.
The Iliad has a pattern of saying merciless things at times like this, but ...... I don't have the energy for any more questions or answers.
"...... do what you want.
"Then you should understand me, make me understand you, but in a straightforward way. That's what I want.
Isn't this bothersome to you?
For a moment I thought he was trying to make us understand each other, but all he did was ask for our action.
It's not fair, it's not fair.
There's not much you can do, so don't complain about a hassle or two.
How unreasonable.
What's the reply?
....... We'll look into it.
That's not a very reliable answer. Start over.
That's funny. How do you know that?
No, you don't put your hand on the sword.
...... I will do my best with all my heart.
"Okay, from now on, I'm going to say it to you without reservation. I'm sick of having to stomach you every time.
Didn't you say that before? I don't have the courage to say it now.
But now the Iliad has a look of satisfaction on its face, as if it has cut down its opponent.
The one who was cut down had a one-sided demand slapped on him, though.
So, thank you for your concern, Lakra.
That's why you're listening with your ear to the ground, Lakra.
...... How do you know?
"That means you can see us too, Mister Lakra.
I'm sure you'll be able to understand what I mean.
No, Mixu was his bodyguard, so it was only natural for him to be there.
At any rate, we didn't have any strange conversations, did we?
After that, there were restrictions on excessively understanding behavior, and if you were about to violate them, you would always consult with the Iliad.
If you don't have a deep understanding of your opponent, it will become difficult to take advantage of them, and you will be forced to deal with them with a straightforward standard of judgment of right and wrong.
This demotes you from an ordinary person who can get around well to a mere ordinary person, or rather, by the standards of this world, the weakest has just become the weakest.
You have to be cautious, you can't choose risky actions carelessly.
The otherworlders are forced to abandon even the weapons they used in the modern world and search for a safer way to live in this fantasy world.
Fortunately, I was able to eliminate some of the dangers around me in the process so far.
We have food, clothing, shelter, and most of our relationships are in order.
There is still the matter of the Rahite who is trying to kill us, but now that we have the information, we can leave it to Marith.
The threat of the Scarlet Demon King and the Purple Demon King trying to invade the human world has already become known to some.
The time for ordinary people is over, and the people who run the country will do their best.
In the end, the main story remains the same, we're fine as long as we can live in peace.
We're a little closer to the Iliad, and that's a small price to pay.
------------------------------------
In the event you're not sure what to do, you may want to check with your doctor.
The Purple Demon King is skilled at deceiving people and making them follow him.
In the past, he had entangled many humans and ruled over them at will as a soldier, a sacrifice to demons, and a loyal servant.
However, the speed of his invasion was too much for him to see, and he was the first to be destroyed by Yugra for his "inequality".
When he was pierced in the chest by Yugra, the Purple Demon King realized that he was a ruler, but not an absolute one.
Since then, he has become the King of Garne and is ruling the country, blending in well with the human world in a different way than the Golden Demon King.
However, his natural arrogance is not so easy to correct.
He's been arming himself repeatedly, and out of boredom, he plotted an attack on the Golden Demon Lord's kingdom of Garne.
She thought that her true identity would not be revealed, but she was successfully exposed, and ended up having her whereabouts, which she had kept secret from every demon lord, discovered by the Golden Demon Lord.
There are a number of her bases in Quama, and even though I immediately moved to another location that day, I am not relieved that I was able to escape.
The white troops that she had taken the trouble to prepare were now being used as manure by the Blue Demon King's men.
The other Demon Lords' torment and the curse of rank that he had experienced before did not come true.
The Purple Demon Lord was effectively defeated by the Golden Demon Lord.
However, she did not curse her own carelessness, for this humiliation was an irreplaceable experience for her.
In the event that you've got a lot of money to invest, but you've got a lot of things to gain, then you've just got to let it go. The purple demon king soaks in the bathtub in the bathroom and remembers the pain in his bitten lip.
I'm sure you'll be able to understand why.
In the event you're not sure what you're looking for, there are a number of things you can do.
It was a great number of demons, all of them advanced demons, one step ahead of the great demons that are considered the highest level.
The purple demon king can create demons by means of rituals, although the area is not large enough for demons to naturally arise.
It is not possible to create a unique class of great demons that grew up in the poisonous vase called the demon world.
But it's only a matter of time before that, if you can arrange the offerings.
Fortunately, people are born everywhere, and there are many demons in all of the Purple Demon Lord's strongholds, waiting for their time to come.
It would be easy to overthrow Kuama with the current forces.
But she will not attack the human world with fewer than before, and she will proceed with humility, saying that it is the height of folly to degenerate with experience.
But it's ...... strange, isn't it? How could the Golden Demon King understand me?
I know the Golden Demon Lord, because I met him once when Yugra gathered the Demon Lords and gave them his wisdom.
He was a subhuman fox who didn't know anything about the world, and he was killed by Yugra without showing his power even after he gained the power to rule.
But after his resurrection, he became the king of the humans and reigned as a great ruler that will remain in history, and that's what happened the other day.
It's understandable that he's undergone some changes, but how can a golden demon king who's undergone such changes understand himself?
The demon that was created in the deliberately complicated demon world was the Purple Demon Lord's confident work.
It's strength is only near the limit, but I'm still proud of its secrecy.
It is not easy to capture other demons in the demon world and connect them to oneself after investigating them.
You can't expect to be able to do such a thing with the power of governance alone, unless you're the Almighty Kuro or Yugra.
I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on. What do you think? What do you think? There's nothing to do, is there? Let's do some research, shall we?
I stepped out of the bathtub and took a step forward.
As soon as the darkness surrounds the Purple Demon King, he transforms into a lustrous purple dress.
It's also the armament of a senior demon that she has chosen to wear, stripped of its will and ego and armed only with its functions.
Even the Purple Demon King, the hero Yugra, who is also known as the "Purple of Entanglement", was not able to reduce all of her troops just by crushing their heads.
The world's largest demon world is still producing many victims, and all of the demons born in it can still be used.
But the most dangerous thing is its bankrupt character.
It has the arrogance to belittle others, but the humility to be wary.
It loves and hates to humiliate and be humiliated.
He has no hesitation in taking daredevil actions and is willing to give up in order to save his own life.
A dichotomous personality, where common sense has no place.
"How many smart demons do you need that can speak human languages and how many dumb demons do you need as hands and feet? Ten? Hundreds? Billions? We have to move carefully, don't we? We can handle one country, right?
