So this is an adventurers guild!" "Don"t be in too high spirits alright?" "I, I am not in high spirits!" Even if you tell me that, it doesn"t really hold much persuasive power with your eyes sparkling. Where we are currently at is a large town quite separated from the village. Perhaps because there"s a dungeon nearby where treasures are sleeping in and it being a middle point in order to go to various lands as well, the town was greatly flourishing. It"s exactly one day since arriving here. It"s not a significant distance to me and the demon lord. "First off, we enter and register as adventurers." "Mhm!" Isvel entered the adventurers guild in high and proud spirits. The adventurers guild is a wooden two storied building and the lower floor seems to have a counter to receive commissions and a portion of the lower floor and the whole upper floor seem to fulfill the role of a bar. I see, depending on the people, they would gather intelligence or friends here I guess. "Is the counter there fine?" "Hm? Yeah, it"s that way" Isvel and I headed towards the counter where a receptionist is standing at. I notice gazes from the adventurers drinking since daytime are pointed towards us, but I can"t think of a reason why in particular, so I ignore it. Is it because of my appearance that smells of the countryside? I certainly have an easy to move appearance that I can use for even farm work though… "Good afternoon! What can I do for you today?" "Ye- yes! I"d like to become an adventurer you see…" "A new person are you? Then, I will be arranging your procedure, so please wait for a moment" Who interacted with her with a smiling face, was a receptionist woman in her early twenties. Steady business manners, this one seems dependable on the guild"s side. "The gentleman there as well?" "I am merely a chaperone and I"ve already gone through with the adventurer registration. Also, about the procedures of this person――" I take out one letter from my pocket and give it to the receptionist. "Please hand this over to the guildmaster" "Certainly sir” Without saying anything unnecessary, the receptionist retreated to the inner part of the counter. After a short while, the receptionist returned with a card grasped in her hand. "The procedures are complete. This will be your guildcard" While emphasising the you part, the receptionist gave her the guildcard that is proof of an adventurer. "Yes!" Isvel who received the card, gazed happily at that card. My impression after peeking at the contents is that clever things were written without it feeling off. Isvel is a demon, but that part is firmly written human. With black magic that changes one"s figure on top of it, just her appearance is now human. And if you show this in addition to that, there won"t be anything to be suspicious of, no doubt. "You cannot accept commissions with too high degree of difficulty, but since you have let us understand your circ.u.mstances, we will make sure to be accommodating. We look forward to working with you from now on" "Mhm! I will easily handle many commissions!" "How promising! The commissions will be put on the quest board over there, so please bring the desired commission here. We put commissions up to A rank over there, so I prefer commissions no higher than rank B if possible" "Alright. Let"s go, Vel" "Eh? Uh, yes" I take Isvel to the quest board. Many commissions are put there which are divided in order of difficulty of E-A rank starting from below. Basically, novice adventurers are called E rank adventurers and they can"t accept any commissions except E rank ones. We appear to be exempt from the ranking system, so we could accept any kind of request if we think of doing it as far as we are concerned. But we don"t have plans to be in that much of a hurry. First we have to choose a commission that fits our first work from here now, but before that―― "What"s wrong? You"re being absent minded" "Heh? Ah, no… I just thought what is Vel and…" "What, so it"s about the way I called you?" "What do you mean what! I"ve never been called like that you know!" Isvel"s face was a little red. Could it be that she"s feeling shy? "Did you believe I would openly call you by your real name in a place like this? Your name is famous you know? As expected you yourself won"t expose your own secret, but you won"t be flattered so it"s better to conceal it" "That, that"s true but… I wanted you to tell me beforehand. Saying it so suddenly uhm… got me surprised after all" "Ugh…" Even if you hide your face like a girl of marriageable age, I won"t be deceived! My heart isn"t throbbing or anything! Absolutely not! I shake off my worldly thoughts by shaking my head. " alright. From now on, I"ll be sure to confirm with you beforehand when I"m doing something." "Ye- yes please" Saying so, Isvel smiled softly　 It"s still a somewhat awkward smile, but we came to be able to at least show a smile to each other. This is surely a good thing. "Also, please call me with an alias too just in case. It"s really just in case though" "Alright. What should I call you?" "I"m Adel, so… Al is fine" "So Al… Right, I understand!" Isvel murmured Al, Al many times over in a low voice in order to get used to it. Completely feeling, while reluctantly, that her appearance was adorable, I unconsciously tried to stretch my hands towards her head. No, that was close. I somehow resisted it and feigned tranquility. " …" " … What is it?" "No, you look like you wanted to pat me" " …" A bull"s eye. "But you see, I won"t let you touch my head so easily you know! Because being pat on the head is something special to demons alright!? It"s still early for you!" "O- oh" Isvel looked at me with a triumphant expression. It was mortifying for me who ended up thinking it was a little regrettable. Actually, you let me wash your body and not touch your head? Demons are such mysterious creatures. I mean, don"t say demon with such loud voice. "To pat my head means you will follow the steps more you see――" "Hey you" "What is it!? Can"t you see I am still talking with him!?" Who cut off Isvel"s suggestive speech was a boorish hoodlum gang of three. The three of them has a tiger tattoo on their faces. I wonder, is it fashion?

Chapter 36 The Hero Is Revealed "Now then, we will not be hindered by them if we"ve come all this way" Inside the forest, somewhat separated from the place where Adel and Eleira confronted each other. Isvel was glaring at Phantom with a serious look, but he showed a smile, looking like he did not mind. "Can you not look so angry? I am your subordinate, you know?" " … You"re no longer my subordinate. If you were to take your leave immediately, I will overlook this" "That I cannot do. My duty is to bring you back after all" Hearing those words, the temperature around Isvel suddenly fell greatly. Seeing frost coming down on the weeds at his feet, Phantom spoke in admiration. "Hoh, that you could bring forth this much of a chill without the heart of the demon lord… As I thought, you appear to be exceeding the successive demon lords, if I look only at your experience in black magic" "I will say it only one more time. Leave" " …I cannot do that, I――" By the time Isvel noticed, Phantom disappeared from in front of Isvel. The next instant, something sharp was pushed closely to her throat. "――have told you many times over didn"t I?" " …An illusion" Isvel"s neck was met with a knife. Perhaps the edge had slightly cut the skin, a line of blood followed her neck and disappeared inside her clothes. "That is correct. You were late in noticing that however" "Making me talk with an illusion and silently approaching me, what a d.a.m.n crafty one you are" "Now that I have won with this, I would rather like you to praise me. I remember rescuing you from your predicament many times over, but did you end up forgetting about them?" "Unfortunately, I can no longer remember that" Phantom casually laughed at Isvel who responded with those words. "Ahahah, is that so. Well, I suppose that is fine. You ought to remember it more properly for me after this. It would help me if you could allow yourself to follow me obediently like this, but… How about it, will you still resist?" "Of course I will. Don"t think you have grasped my life with only this much" Isvel turned around to glare at Phantom. Simultaneously in doing so, the thrust knife was smashed along with breaking sounds. "Wh" "Ice bomb!" Isvel held her hand over her head, and a sudden cold spread around her. Phantom broke away from the place that made him shiver, but Isvel"s surroundings transformed into frozen soil in the blink of an eye. The weeds broke each time he moved his legs and a cold air shrouded over the ground. "Phew, now that was dangerous. I was nearly put down in ice” Phantom showed up at a place somewhat separated from Isvel. His garments had been frozen here and there, but he himself would seem to be safe. "You are only d.a.m.ned fast at escaping" Isvel crushed the knife that had been frozen brittle with her foot. "Area attacks really are trouble isn"t it. It doesn"t matter wherever I stand. That is why I have a counterplan for that however!" When Phantom spread his arm greatly, he released magic power to his surroundings. Every tree that was basked in that magic power became noisy like when they attacked Adel before, and they began growing their branches. "Wood Circus――Come, we start the public performance" Each tree, unsatisfied with only growing their branches , stood up while stirring up the ground. While moving their roots as their feet, the surrounding trees went straight towards Isvel. "Now milady demon lord! How will you cut your way through this!" "――Don"t get carried away with your jokes" Just before the tree monsters attacked Isvel, all the trees stopped their movements. Everyone froze unawares, not moving even a twitch. Isvel swung her arm, and the trees surrounding her turned into tiny fragments and rolled on the whole surface. "How long do you intend to continue this farce?" "Hum, farce you say?" "Your illusion spells are not like this. I am asking how long you are going to play around" " … Difficult to get into things, aren"t you milady demon lord" Phantom shrugged his shoulders with a look exclaiming disappointment, and raised both his hands. "I have been defeated, I give in. I have no motivation to continue our fight any more than this" "…" Isvel lowered her arms and dissolved the freeze around her. Around the time the temperature around her began to rise, Phantom quietly opened his mouth. "――It is true that I was told to bring you back. That was the order. However, the truth is somewhat different" " …" "Recently, there has been strange movements from the second unit. Putting in a single sentence, they are starting to take in outside forces. Especially humans and such" "Humans?" Phantom nodded once and continued his talk. "From that fact, we fear the second unit are gathering military forces to try to usurp the demon lord castle, you see. Before anything occurs, Lady Isvel, I would"ve liked you to return for the moment" "… The second unit. If I remember correctly, those people were shadier than you though" "How harsh! But, that is correct. The current problem of the demon lord castle is the point where they do not know what those people are doing" Hearing his story, Isvel thought for a while, and then she raised her face and spoke. "And so, what are you trying to do by turning back to me?" "I"d like you to hold the heart of the demon lord and manage the second unit together with us. Gidara said that as long as you can do something about this problem, you can be independent by way of formally handing over the demon lord t.i.tle to another person" " …" Isvel cast her eyes down once again and bit her lip. And thus visited them a moment of silence. ◆ "I felt magic power from around here, but…" I discovered the magic power of the two as I was walking inside the forest and so I was on my way there. As I approached them, I understood that the two were not conducting a fight, but… what could they be doing? "――Oh, male human… no, Hero Adel. You are there aren"t you?" "Hk!" I sprung up for an instant, and slowly walked towards the owner of the voice, Phantom. Once my vision, which was blocked by the trees, appeared to be cleared, I saw that there was a tiny plazlike place. Leaves and branches were scattered on the whole ground, and it was just a little chilly. They were the traces of Isvel"s battle. The figures of the two talking to each other is a little doubtful considering they had fought, but―― "So you noticed" "The surge of magic power I felt when you were fighting with Eleira was extremely close to the Hero after all" "Illusion spellcasters have high perception abilities as well. I"ll remember that" It doesn"t seem like he is hostile. I approached Isvel while being a little vigilant. "Adel…" "What"s wrong?" Isvel looked at me with a somewhat complicated face. Looking at this situation, she seems to have been approached with some discussion. "I… am thinking about returning to the demon lord castle for a moment" " …Is that so" It would be a lie if I wasn"t surprised, but I did not receive a surprising shock. I guess it"s because I felt that was going to happen somehow. "Can I hear the reason, just in case?" "There seems to be a group of people among the demon lord elite guards making suspicious movements. If I resolve the matter of those people, I will be set free in public or so it seems" " …I see" That"s good news. It means that she can sever her connection with the demons as long as she manages this. As far as I can see from Phantom"s behavior, he looks like he intended to bring out this subject from the beginning. "If I am set free, then a new demon lord can be chosen. If so, then I should be able to spend my life here without any sort of ties of obligation… that"s why I will return for a moment." "――Alright. I won"t object to your thoughts. I will at least tend to the fields at your house, Isvel" "Mhm, thank you" Said Isvel, smiling a little sadly. She must be feeling anxious. She looked like she was forcing a smile to me. " …Huh? Hero, what are you saying?" "Heh?" "It"s already decided that you will be going as well, you know? This state of affairs was also created by you after all" ――Heh?
