Garsh returned to his seat after leaving the negotiations to his aides.
Im sorry to have kept you waiting. Thats a very interesting souvenir.
No, thats alright, I didnt an for it to be a souvenir however.
I was rather remorseful, but Garsh is staring at as impressed.
You imdiately realised that it might match the dish, even though you have never had it before.
Because it fits anything, that is
Hmm
Garsh growled with his arms folded.
It looks like the demons arent as barbaric as I thought. I think they are a little misunderstood. I apologize.
There is no doubt that the demons are barbaric, but if you can say that, lets just agree.
Its true that I lived in undeveloped land, so dont worry. But if possible, Id like to live while sharing prosperity with humans.
When I answered that, Garsh nodded a little.
Then theres no reason to ally with the Demon Kings army. It just seems more interesting than teaming up with the fucking bastards in the north, but only if you aning us no harm is true.
The last part of his statent carried a lot of weight.
Garsh still seems to doubt that were doing sothing at sea.
No wonder, because we are demons.
This is more and more likely to require consultation with the rmaids.
Then, in a tone that Parker ponders, he says:
I had been negotiating with the rmaids for a long ti at the order of the Demon King, but during that ti they had no suspicious movents. Is there a map?
Oh, wait a minute
Just as there was a map of Beruza on the wall, Parker borrowed it and pointed it with his finger. Its off the southwest coast of Beruza.
Isnt this strange? This is a place where the tide is gentle. There are so reefs and islets, and there are a lot of rmaids.
Hmm? Garsh made a strange face.
Its off the route because theres a reef. The ship heading to Lotso in the east is missing.
Then rmaids have nothing to do with it, do they? Theyre wary of human ships, so I dont think theyll get close to the route. Parker shrugged.
Garsh was thinking, Hmm Hey, Vaito, How credible is this guy?
I dont trust him at all.
Id like to say that, but it doesnt look like Parker is purposefully bringing out vague information.
So I cant help but follow Parkers words.
Parker is one of the most trusted generals of I and the Demon King. He only reports what he can look up and confirm.
I glanced to see Parker grinning, but its a sha I have to admit it.
Anyway, Ill et the rmaids once. If they have any disturbing movents, Ill convince them, and if that doesnt work, the Demon Kings army will cooperate with Beruza.
I still think it was a misunderstanding.
Garsh nodded to my words and brought a large bottle of ad from the counter.
Drink
Why?
Then Garsh smiled.
Todays negotiations are over. Well have a welco party, so even if youre not good at drinking, youll have to drink.
Hahaha
I smiled back as I received the bottle.
Is there any side dish?
Oh, Ill feed you a lot
Apparently, it seems that today is an eat-all-you-can-eat for free.
Lets say that we are well welcod.
The next day, I ca with Parker to a sandy beach on the outskirts of Beruza. Its the beach outside the cove.
Then lets go see the rmaids.
Parker looked back on a small rowing boat, about the size of a fishing boat.
Did you go in that? I asked.
The sea here is calm, and I dont have to drink or eat. Its just a matter of riding the tide and drifting for about three days. Replied Parker, who was laughing crazily,
I sighed and asked, In the anti, what should I do?
Oops, I forgot that! Lets do this.
Parker marked the void, as if he was waiting for to say it.
Co from the Dark Gate of Gevena, my friend.
The voice was horrifyingly cold.
I feel that the magical power of the surroundings is distorted in each space and sinks darkly.
A number of spatial distortions occurred, from which skeletons slowly erged. They looked worn out, but were dressed as sailors.
There were four skeletons that appeared.
Parker said in a low, dark voice, as if his usual tone was a lie.
Brave sailors, there is no ti to rest. Now, row the boat.
The skeletons silently board the ship and pick up the oars with familiar movents.
And started rowing slowly.
I jumped onto the ship and stared at this grueso departure.
The greatest feature of Parkers necromancy is that you can open the gates of the Netherworld and summon the dead directly. Its quick because you dont have to make your own. Its an undead rental.
However, the shape and abilities of the undead differ depending on the summoned place. Since this is the beach, the skeletons of fishern and sailors co out. Those who died around here long ago.
Seeing the skeletons rowing the boat silently, I suddenly ask Parker, Do they have no emotions or intellect?
I dont know because communication is a one-way street, but perhaps all they have left is longing for the past. Parker replied, and continued, Im not that different from them either, so I can call them.
After all, we shut up and headed offshore on a boat rowed by skeletons.
After a while, I felt a strange sense of unease.
Ripples were spreading containing the magical power that floats around. Its a wave of magical power.
rmaids use magic. That is also the magic of spiritual control.
Sohow, it makes feel like going ho. I miss Rune Height, Grunstadt Castle, and the hidden village of werewolves.
Near
You can tell?
Oh, I cant hear the sound, but I feel the vibration of magical power. This is ntal control magic.
Yeah. This is the song of the rmaids, Konaide.
The rmaids attract and alienate others by singing, Parker informs , Well, it doesnt make sense to , and it wont work much for you. I think its just enough for humans.
Of course, the rowers of this ship are skeletons, so it wont work on them either.
If you row toward the center of the song, you will reach it without trouble.
Got it
I decided to keep an eye on the destination of the ship, suppressing my feelings of nostalgia for my hotown.
Soti later, when the land was completely invisible, the boat approached a reef-filled sea area.
Eventually, a number of ripples spread around the ship. Beautiful half-naked won ca out of the sea.
They are probably rmaids. This was the first ti Ive seen them. Surprisingly, everyone had a positive smile.
Parker took off his hat and approached them.
Is everyone fine after a long ti?
Then the rmaids replied with a clear, cool voice.
Yes, thank you
Mr. Parker, what about your lord?
Oh, hes fearless and wonderful.
All the other crew mbers are skeletons, so Im monopolizing the eyes of the beautiful won.
Its a little embarrassing.
I greet them.
Nice to et you. Im Vaito, the adjutant of the Demon King, Gomoviroa.
Well, you were the one Parker was talking about!?
What is this surprise?
The rmaids gathered around all at once and stared at seriously.
When I grabbed Parkers skull, I quickly questioned him for a mont.
How did you talk about ?
No, nothing, youre my younger brother
A disciple. What else did you say?
Parker then collapsed to the bottom of the ship and pretended to be just a skeleton.
Hey, say sothing.
Then the rmaids giggled and told :
Mr. Parker was just proud of Mr. Vaito. He said,There are a lot of talented people in the Demon Kings army, but the best one is my younger brother.
Mr. Vaito, it seems you understand the hearts of people. Thats why even though they are demons, they are loved by humans.
From their facial expressions, it doesnt seem like theyre lying or flattering.
When I stared at Parkers face, he shyly looked down.
No, I didnt think my younger brother would be proud of talking like this
Maybe youre talking about everywhere you go?Then Parker spoke quickly.
Well, Im not just talking about you. My friends under Gomoviroa are irreplaceable treasures for . I dont have a family anymore, so its definitely a story of friends. Just like this one
Because of this one, Im suddenly shy now.
