Eveam did not notice the change in her tone. However, she sohow felt relieved as a pleasant feeling of security dwelled in her heart.
Although Hiiro was unaware of her situation, as he had simply stated what was troubling him, Eveam was the one that had beco troubled instead.
B-,By the way Hiiro! (Eveam)
Aa? Why is your face red? (Hiiro)
D-,Do not worry about it! T-theres just sothing wrong with the air-conditioning in here! (Eveam)
Is that so? (Hiiro)
If Hiiro had to say, he felt that the place was cold. Furthermore, he found her change of tone unusual as he tilted his head to the side.
H-Hiiro, you are an adventurer, am I right? (Eveam)
She returned to her forr tone. Although Hiiro thought that the previous tone suited her more, he ignored it as he didnt think much of it.
I guess (Hiiro)
How long are you going to be here? (Eveam)
Who knows, depends on the objective (Hiiro)
Ah, the matter about theFortuna Grand Libraryyou spoke awhile ago? (Eveam)
Yes, or perhaps I should say that if you really are the Demon Lord you can grant permission, right? (Hiiro)
At that mont, she finally noticed his intentions. Hiiro, who was only half-convinced, asked because he did not understand whether she was the Demon Lord or not.
Yes, If its , I can grant permission. However, no matter how much you want to read atBasent-5,there are prohibited books, ancient docunts and other treasured books that cannot be brought out of the premises. I cannot grant permission to a person I cannot trust right away (Eveam)
Shes right about that.Hiiro considered her point of view justifiable. He thought that he had no choice but to place his expectations on Liliyn and her group.
However, if Hiiro hears my offer, I shall grant you permission (Eveam)
His eyebrows twitched as he fixed his eyes on her.
An offer, you say? (Hiiro)
Yes, in other words, a request. Of course, I will create the contract. That is only if Hiiro does not mind, though (Eveam)
Hiiro pondered the intent of her words.She doesnt seem to be lying.If she really is the Demon Lord, he thought it would be a good deal.
Surely, There is no better offer for my objective if I receive permission directly from the person at the top of the country,Hiiro thought. Although he felt bad for Liliyn, there was no guarantee that she would obtain the permit. Thus, when there is a more reliable thod, he would wisely choose that one
(However, this Demon Lord.rather, I still dont know whether or not she actually is the Demon Lord. Still, her request does not seem to be a normal one)(Hiiro)
Although Hiiro handled a lot of requests up to now, it was his first ti to receive one directly from a ruler. Therefore, he could not discern it. Although he thought that she may possibly make an unreasonable demand, he judged that it would be worth it to simply listen to her story.
.The contents of your request? (Hiiro)
Instantly, Eveams expression hardened. From simply observing that, Hiiro knew that what she was going to ask was not going be just so whimsical request.
You do know about the conference thats being held in one week, yes? Well, about that conference- (Eveam)
Wait a second (Hiiro)
.What is it? (Eveam)
Conference? If Im not mistaken, although Ive heard that sort of rumors before I ca here, you saidone week-? If you are the Demon Lord, should you really be in a place like this? (Hiiro)
.. (Eveam)
Suddenly, she looked away.Ah, this person really ran away from the castle,or so Hiiro had thought.
(Perhaps, she was not able to bear the pressure, andseed to have co here to take a breather, huh.. )(Hiiro)
As he pondered this, he looked over at the shopkeeper. She slightly nodded in response, seemingly trying to convey that the idea he was thinking was right on target.
Haa, well, enough about you. (Hiiro)
It doesnt an Ive decided that you are the Demon Lord,or so Hiiro thought.
That conference will be held in one week. If I rember correctly, it was nad theHumas-Evila Alliance Conference(Hiiro)
Yes, however. (Eveam)
For so reason, her expression darkened.
.So sort of problem will occur. Rather, youre thinking that there is a possibility that sothing will happen? (Hiiro)
.. (Eveam)
That silence ans that Im right. However, to begin with, it isnt unusual for so danger to occur during the conference you know? (Hiiro)
That is.that is right, however (Eveam)
Where is it? The place of the conference? (Hiiro)
Its not possible to say. Unless, after you sign the contract that is (Eveam)
If she were to easily ntion the place at this mont, Hiiro would probably look down on her. Also, if she carelessly teach such confidential information like the location of the conference, she would be disqualified as the Demon Lord.
I got it. Then hurry up and say it. What are you seeking from ? (Hiiro)
.. I want you to beco soone that will help this country (Eveam)
. (Hiiro)
I do not want to believe it will happen, but there might be so subtle movents in theHumascontinent. At the ti when the country becos undermanned, I want you to lend your power to beco the countrys defense (Eveam)
Apparently, she could not defend her country by herself as she was heading to the conference.TheHumasmay try and attack here when that chance cos.In other words, she was currently suffering from slight anxiety brought upon by the possibility of betrayal.
If sothing like that were to happen, Eveam wanted to ask Hiiro for help to ensure that neither side would get hurt.
Ive been able to grasp Hiiros power just from observing it earlier. That terrifying magical power, or rather, your magicis most likely aUnique Magic, correct? (Eveam)
Hiiro was shocked in his mind as he maintained his poker face. He had not anticipated to be instantly seen through.
I have confidence in my magic perception. I did not sense any attributes in the magic used at that ti.. therefore, it must have a unique attribute (Eveam)
.I wonder about that (Hiiro)
I do not have any intention of making it public. What Im in need of is genuine defensive power. If its Hiiroif you are the owner of that power who does as he pleases, I can expect it as one of the defense of this country (Eveam)
It appears thateven ifIdeceive her,she already seems tohave a strongbeliefin .Or so Hiiro thought as he sighed.
It is a convenient ability. Although, I certainly use a unique magic; you want to demonstrate my power in case of ergency? (Hiiro)
That is correct. This is strictly just a precaution to the last. Of course, it would be good if nothing happened (Eveam)
if thats the case, the request fee? (Hiiro)
Thereupon, she slowly relaxed her cheeks.
I will issue you the entry permit for theFortuna Grand LibrarysBasent-5(Eveam)
.a verbal promise, huh? (Hiiro)
Nay, I have said it before, right? We will sign a contract (Eveam)
Soon after, she took out one sheet of paper from her breast pocket. There was nothing yet written in there. She bit her finger with her teeth and used that blood to write the words.
Hiiro firmly confird the words written within the contract. The contents entailed the details of the request fee. In addition, compliance policies had also been written there, as if to deter the contractee from breaking and abandoning the contract midway.
This is theContract Roll.The person who signed this, will have their soul cut down supposing they break their word based from what is written in the contract (Eveam)
. In other words, our lives will be taken away (Hiiro)
That is indeed correct (Eveam)
What a frightening contract, Hiiro sighed as he realized its risks.Certainly, it might be alright to inform the other party of the location of such a valuable eting place should they have signed this contract, or so Hiiro pondered.
My request Will you accept it? (Eveam)
She thought Hiiro might refuse. Although Hiiro was definitely strong, he was an adventurer who did not want to participate in wars. Moreover, she had a vague impression that he did not like the contract. Nonetheless, she was very interested in Hiiros potential.
Eveam understood that Hiiro possessed an abundant amount of magic power. His level was probably also high, in accordance with his magic. For so reason, she was able to understand that his level might also be higher than her, the Demon Lord.But to have an exceptional person appear in this kind of situation, she believed it might be so sort of revelation of sothing to her.
For this reason, Eveam wanted Hiiros help at all costs. She was attracted not only to his strength, but she noticed sothing which her heart seems to be attracted sowhere to Hiiro .In spite of that, most is solely because of his power,or so she thought.
If its Hiiro, then he would be suitable as an effective defense for the country,she imagined. Although she dangled the bait in front of Hiiro, she vaguely sensed that Hiiro seed to be ill-humored based on their negotiation. However, it was not sothing that she should be worried about right now.
However, even though she was concerned that Hiiro might refuse the request, she reflexively stiffened when Hiiro responded.
So? Where should I sign? (Hiiro)
Although Hiiro questioned her like that, Eveam hardened as she suspiciously observed Hiiro.
Hey, tell where to sign, quickly (Hiiro)
Eh, a-, ah. h-, however, is it really ok? T-there is a chance that it might beco a war, you know? (Eveam)
I dont really care. Even if it becos a war, Im not a person who would die from that (Hiiro)
How much self-confidence do you have there?Eveam wanted to ask.However, Leaving that aside, Eveam couldnt help but be feel glad as Hiiro will sign the contract.
H-Here. Sign here (Eveam)
Her tone just changed again, or so he thought. Then, the mont Hiiro signed the contract with blood in the sa way as her.
Pikaaaaaaaa!
TheContract Rollbegan to cast a pale light. Then, the paper beca particles as it was split in half and absorbed into the chest of the two people
Fu~. With this, our contract is complete (Eveam)
Your tone changed, you know? (Hiiro)
W-,With this, our contract has been established! And dont retort on my tone! (Eveam)
She is not scary at all,Hiiro thought as the Demon Lord shouted with a red face. Thus, after the contract was established, Hiiro received the details of the conference that takes place a week from now.
karan koron.
Shishou! I was able to find the inn! Please praise ! (Nikki)
Nikki cheerfully appeared. However, there was a shadow behind her.
Oh dea~r ~m, so you were here Your Majesty ~n (Shublarz)
Eveam looked at the bewitching woman who appeared in the attire of a dancer, her bountiful chest exposed. Eveam wore a disappointed expression as she murmuredI was found .
Really, Marione and Kiria are ang~ry you kn~ow? (Shublarz)
I-, I apologize. I shall return at once (Eveam)
Please do so. ~M? Oh my, a secret eting with a man? ~m, I really cant leave you when you are cornered Your Majes~ty (Shublarz)
Shublarz teased her as she looked at Hiiro.. Even though it wasnt the case, Eveam face turned bright red.
I-, i-i-i-its not a secret eting! And, I-i-i-i-i dont search for this kind of things when Im cornered! (Eveam)
Fufufu,-fu ~n.. (Shublarz)
Then she quietly watched Hiiro,
L-, Look! Let us go quickly! There are a lot of things I have to do! (Eveam)
A~h! Geez, Your Majesty, as you wish Your Majest~y (Shublarz)
Eveam walked towards the door, suddenly she halted, then she faced Hiiros direction.
So Hiiro, I will be counting on you! But dont be too reckless alright? (Eveam)
After she said those words, she went out of the shop.
Oh dear, Her Majestys tone was..~m I se~e (Shublarz)
As she said so, she once again looked in Hiiro direction.
Fufufu, it seems Her Majesty was indebted to you, a~ri~ga~to (Shublarz)
She winked at Hiiro and similarly went out of the shop.
. what on earth was that? (Nikki)
Nikki inclined their head unable to the follow the whole situation.
Who knows, I only just received a request from a strange woman (Hiiro)
a request, is it? (Nikki)
After that, Hiiro taught Nikki what was going to happen in a weeks ti. He inford Nikki the details about the high possibility of this place becoming a war-zone. He then instructed Nikki that they may rampage if the occasion calls for it. Yet, for so reason, Nikki saidIm itching to test my skills~zo, in a motivated manner.
(However,to think thatshe reallywasthe Demon Lordyet, no matter how I see her, shelooksjustlikean ordinarygirl)(Hiiro)
At that ti, the following thought did not enter Hiiros mind. The fact that the events one week from now would hold importance to such an extent. Surely, Hiiro could not possibly have imagined so.
