Munchkin of the Summoning Academy - Munchkin of the Summoning Academy chapter 105
Tyrant (3)
It must have been a mistake to have installed a pipe organ in the lord’s castle.
I couldn’t help but think that way while listening to Medusa’s performance.
He seems to have had fun after learning the violin, and has been playing terrible music since morning.
There is also a normal piano, but I really want to use that one.
I got up and got out of bed and realized I was a little bit wrong.
The sun, which I thought had barely crossed the wall, was already hanging in the middle of the sky.
Originally, the maid would have woke me up earlier, but…
It’s called a short-term vacation, so it seems like he made it possible for me to sleep late.
It’s partly because I was a little tired from the after-treatment of yesterday’s train raid.
As soon as I showered and got dressed, I escaped the bedroom with Letty flying over my shoulder.
The sound of the pipe organ, which had been resounding incessantly, was eventually replaced by the noise of a fight between Laurie and Medusha.
I left them to rest, had a quick meal, and called an afternoon meeting.
There is no need to bring urgent work because it was roughly done yesterday.
However, when it was time for the meeting, Medusha and Laurier naturally entered the conference room and sat down.
Persia, who raised her tail next to me, waited for the lord’s deputy to speak.
“Then the budget report for the past two months…”
“Wait. You guys should be out for a while.”
When the lord’s assistant tries to explain the report, Medusha suddenly kicks them out.
I didn’t hear anything, but I nodded my head.
No matter how selfish she may be, she is not the kind of person who will be grumpy in front of my vassals for no reason.
When the city hall staff, including the deputy lord Young-ju, left quickly, Medusa jumped up from her chair.
“The demons have already been attacked twice! I’ve been trying to keep quiet so far, but I can’t stand it any longer. At least I need to know why they’re after Louise.”
Everyone who remained in the conference room hardened their faces with expressions of what was to come.
A question that everyone had in their minds, but dared not bring up.
Actually, I was very curious.
But my opponent is the one holding my lifeline.
At least she’s a Medusha, so I can ask that openly.
Fortunately, the Demon King responded without delay.
A much smaller shadow than usual appears in front of the table in the conference room.
“It’s not like you know what you can do.”
“Still, it’s not polite to give at least an explanation. We fight with them for our necks…”
“Ugh.”
As if there was some truth in Medusha’s argument, the Demon King made a decision with difficulty after thinking about it for a while.
“Yeah. You deserve to hear it too. So where do you start…”
“Currently, the goal of the demons is to recover the Demon Lord. And can it be considered that there are no alliances at all except for Shabnak?”
The maidservant who has been quiet until now and immediately asks questions as soon as permission is granted.
She must have been skeptical about 20 years ago, so that’s okay.
The unit of waiting is different from other people.
The demon lord, who could not be unaware of it, smiled softly and answered in turn.
“That’s the current goal. And don’t think of Shabnak as an ally. If there’s a gap in me, they’ll come at any time.”
“From what I’ve seen before, it didn’t seem like he was trying to kill the Demon King… Then why would you want to bring him back again? Why can’t the king become a politician now?”
Persia couldn’t hold back her curiosity any longer.
I didn’t know when he was going to make a sudden move, so I gently touched my hand.
This one’s head is so pure, it sometimes spits out a more dangerous sound than Medusha.
“I’m not sure, but the throne will probably be vacant. So they’re trying to get me out of it and take me.”
“The throne has been vacant for over 20 years…”
“Then you’ve been looking for the Demon Lord all along?”
“Yes. This time, the exact location has been confirmed, so they rush in like that.”
After the brief confession was over, everyone’s eyes changed slightly.
As if the gaze of awe was looking at the prodigal son who left the house.
It’s hard for people in my family to look down on them for neglecting their duties.
The Demon King, noticing this, quickly proceeds with additional defense.
“Don’t get me wrong. In the Demon Realm, there are hardly any land or people left to rule over. In terms of population, it’s probably less than the count of El Cloud.”
“Well, is that enough?”
“Yeah. Our world has reached the limit of its lifespan. The lands have been barren for a long time, and so are the people. In a few decades or so, the entire dimension will naturally disappear.”
The left is in a much more serious condition than expected and is at a loss for words.
Laurie, who had her arms crossed, asked a question that didn’t deserve it.
“It would take literally billions of years for a world to become like that…”
“Our ancestors made foolish mistakes countless times and shortened the lifespan of the world. Most of the technology has already been sealed for hundreds of years, but it has reached its limit. This is the result of the demon realm, which is already on the verge of death, trying to extend its own lifespan.”
I nodded, remembering that the land of the Demon Realm did not let Elfriede go.
Sylvia, my escort, asks worriedly.
“If the demons use those skills again, isn’t it dangerous for us too?”
“Don’t worry about that. Because the seal can never be broken. In fact, it is a disposal disposal. If it hadn’t been that way, the Demon Realm would have ended sooner.”
“Ugh.”
“Then the inhabitants of the Demon Realm will seek to relocate? Because they can no longer stay in the Demon Realm…”
“Yes. One of those few candidate sites is this world.”
“Kek? Out of the many dimensions, why am I here…”
Persia jumps on my lap in amazement.
In my freshman year, I took Professor Eolin’s introductory lecture on multidimensional science, and I immediately corrected his misunderstanding.
“As you said, there are countless dimensions, but there are very few dimensions suitable for human habitation. In the first place, summoning other dimensions is too difficult.”
“Oh, is that so?”
“Yeah. It’s like very few of the planets in the universe are habitable.”
When Elfriede, who had taken astronomy as a liberal arts lecture, added, Persia quickly refuted.
“But demons are physically superior to humans.”
“If you’re going to move your residence, it’s only natural that you want to move it to a better place. Just in time, if you get rid of Eshas, everything will be fine. No matter how demonic you are, you can’t touch the earth.”
Not only the environmental conditions, but also the difficulty of conquest seems to be much lower here.
It’s not like it’s another summoner, it’s like the demon lord said something like that.
I wondered what the hell the earth was doing, but I just decided not to ask.
An embarrassing problem is still enough.
Elena, who caught her sense a little earlier than the others, clapped her hands slightly and said.
“The demons want the Demon King to kill Eshas. Only then can the migration work proceed…”
“Yes. If Eshas, who is fully prepared in the capital, is the opponent, my win rate is less than 30%… They want me to risk my life for that 30%.”
It’s definitely a bit cruel.
Second of all, the odds are low…
Even if the Demon King wins against Eshas, it will not be safe.
If you look at the habits of the demons, the next thing is obvious.
He’s probably trying to deal with the Demon King who was seriously injured in the fight against Essha.
From his point of view, winning or losing is a battle with no future.
Medusha understood this and nodded her head.
“Um. I’m sure there’s no need to fight. Well done.”
“I’m already living and dying with Lewis. When this guy’s lifespan expires, we just fall asleep together.
Having clearly stated his position, he looked around as if he had no questions and then disappeared inside me.
Anyway, the demons will continue to target me.
As I was already worrying about it and making noises of pain, a bell rang from the Count’s castle gate.
Deeng, Deeng, Deen!
Instead of announcing the time as usual, a short and quick bell to signal the enemy’s invasion.
We got up from our seats and ran towards the place without anyone else being the first.
Currently guarding the gates is Uncle Henry, who has been appointed commander of the count’s guard.
I don’t know if it’s an icy guard. As a skilled hunter and from the Dimensional Watch, he could not have misunderstood his opponent.
“Who, who?”
“Maybe the demons again…”
“The interval is too short for such a thing. It’s only been one day.”
Letty, who flew from my arms, transformed into a flying summon and took the lead.
In front of the castle gate, men and women in black uniforms were clinging to each other with reddish looks.
Persia, who recognized them just like me, exclaimed.
“Dimensional watchdog? To catch the master…”
“No. There is no way that Eshas can be hostile to us now.”
I wondered if it was because the Demon King came out of the train yesterday, but it seems that is not the case.
When I reached the gates, Uncle Henry with a bow was shouting.
After all, they are colleagues from their former workplaces, and they welcome them very wildly.
“Get out of your master’s territory, you bastards!”
“Henry-senpai! Do you not recognize me?”
The leader of the guard, who was at the forefront of them, looked up and shouted as if it was unfair.
The man I met at the hearing.
Henry snorted a little and fired his bow.
Fortunately, the arrow lands in front of the watchman’s feet.
“Where do the royal hounds dare…”
“Mr. Henry. Wait a minute.”
When I called from afar, the man calmed down a bit.
Other guards are still aiming bows and spears.
With Letty’s help, I climbed up the wall and looked down at the Dimensional Watch.
First, let’s raise our voice as dignified as possible, and then quickly show respect from the other side.
“You didn’t take my invitation! What’s going on with no message!”
“I’m sorry, Earl of El Cloud. This is a confidential matter, so I had to come here quietly. I had to arrest a taboo violator around here, so I’m going to report it for a while…”
“report?”
Since when did these guys get this?
Although it is said that the authority of the Dimensional Guard has been greatly weakened, they are known as the royal family’s direct units.
Every time you move, you don’t get permission from the local lord.
As I turned around with a trembling feeling, Elena, who ran up the steep stairs, exhaled and explained.
“Since the last hearing, if the Dimension Guard goes on a business trip, they will be supervised by the local high lord. Did you not know?”
“Yeah… I mean, I went back right after the hearing was over.”
By the way, shouldn’t it be about the 4th generation to be the great lord of the area?
but. The Duke of Beltern has to go far south from here.
It would be a job to go from the capital to there.
“… Shall we take it first?”
“I think that would be good. The guards are in a position to be monitored by the lord, so there will be no harm to Louise.”
It’s a bit like not knowing what’s going on near my estate.
When I nodded to listen to the story, Uncle Henry opened the gate that had been reluctantly closed.
A total of eight dimensional guards entered the inside.
From n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲
Just looking at the number of their heads is terrifying.
I moved a little to a quieter place and immediately requested a report.
The commander of the watch, wearing the chain badge, handed over an order bearing the royal seal.
“Here it is. Signs of taboo violations have been detected in the Viscount Kelayan near the Earl of Elcloud…”
“Viscount Kelayan? Any signs of a taboo violation there?”
I recalled the name without much difficulty.
Thanks to the maid’s education, he knew very well the territories near the Count of El Cloud.
A Kelayan is a true noble noble who owns an iron ore mine.
In terms of his wealth, he is not a vassal, but a count.
The watchdog commander was happy with the fast progress, but on the other hand, it was a little perplexing.
“It’s a summoning of Earthlings.”
“Gee, Earthling?”
Are you calling out the people who made Russell that shape and that shape?
Watching my reaction, the watchman chews his tongue in his mouth as if something is wrong.
“Yes. If the Lord wants you to accompany us in our operations…”
I feel like I’m being forced to spit it out because I have an obligation to explain as a watchdog leader.
I nodded my head somewhat impulsively.
This is a valuable opportunity to legally observe the Earthlings.
If you miss it now, you will regret it later.
“Okay. Come along.”
“Are you really?”
“Yeah. Guide me right away.”
The commander of the guard bows his head slightly while hiding his astringent expression.
The maid, who was far away, let out a silent sigh.
