Chapter 57: We got a Spirit.

There are some amazing people in this world.

Isn’t this guy up to something? And when I followed Giselotte, I found her meeting secretly with a man at a luxury hotel.

Wow, an affair! I’m not a housekeeper, but I saw it! I was so nervous, and then the other guy was kind of strange.

I couldn’t see him.

Even with my improved version of the Crystal of Mija, that guy’s magic level and attributes are completely invisible.

The only way to get rid of it is to have a ward around the room, which is also very impressive, and there are no gaps at all. I could break it, but that would mean that the other party would notice me.

I had no choice but to eavesdrop from the outside with my full hearing power, but I could only get fragmentary information.

It seems that they are trying to take the King’s life, and they are planning to carry out a “revolution” today. And on top of that, they’re going to kidnap Professor Tia as well.

It’s a big deal, isn’t it?

Now what are we going to do, I left the monitoring wards on Giselotte, who remained in the room.

I decided to spy on the man’s movements.

However, after the man went out with the maid, ‘Oh?’ He twisted his head.

Their conversation was too small to grasp. In the meantime, the maid grew wings and flew away. Then, the ward is up in the sky with her. Apparently, the maid seems to be bigger than the man, so I aimed at the maid and followed her.

I won’t bore you with the details, but it was something or other that got away.

I got the loot, but I didn’t want to start a revolution while I was chasing it down, so I had no choice but to return to the capital.

So, I’ve been moving around here and there, trying to stay out of Charl’s way while I’m in the background.

The sky above the capital.

I’m watching the situation with a number of plate-like wards floating around me. Of course, I wasn’t just watching, I was also activating the various wards that I had planted when it’s necessary.

”Lisa’s ice wall, isn’t it a bit lacking in strength?　Let’s reinforce it just in case.”

And.

“Charl sounds like fun. However, will she be able to call John and the others in time? Just in case the demons come out here too, I’m going to weld them a little bit to make sure…”

“It’s called the Elder Ghoul? I’m buying time while holding those guys crawling out with the invisible wards.”

“I’m sure you’ll be able to find out more about this. I’m going to the academy to help out, right? I’m not going to be able to get it right. You’re going to zip through the city? Well, now that you mention it, the fewer witnesses the better.”

“I’m going to send out a bunch of wards to fool everyone who’s shopping or coming home from work”

“You’re quite good at it, aren’t you, Rias? You’ll be able to find a great deal more than one. But, as expected, there are too many of them.”

The academy’s magic formula was fully activated due to strange interruptions and other things. It was impossible to destroy it, and it became the most dangerous zone.

To make an excuse, there was a mystery squad that aimed at Rias and sister Marianne, so we were one step too late in the process of wiping them out from afar. I’m one body. It can’t be helped.

However, that doesn’t mean that I’m not going to get bitten by someone.

It doesn’t mean that I’m going to be the one to come out and save them. I don’t want to get in the way of Charl’s efforts.

They’re doing their best to stay out of sight.

The Elder Ghouls are approaching from Rias’s blind spot rolled down by the invisible wards. In order to buy time for big sister Marianne to cast her support magic, she slowed down the demon that attacked her from the front with a viscous ward. Iris noticed and kicked that guy away.

I see.

This is what they are like when they are in a serious and desperate state.

I’ve been thinking about this as an opportunity to accurately observe the strength of the top class guys in the academy, apart from not wanting to disturb them.

I look at them and thought.

“Is this what the level of students are like?”

Honestly, with those three guys, I feel like even I could easily handle a surprise attack, let alone a frontal one.

I would have liked to see the guards really get serious, anyway.

I want to know how much difference in strength there is between them and Lisa and Frey.

Oops. My copy has arrived. I need to restock his magic gun.

I was able to get them to meet up with Rias and the others thanks to a good job of guiding Professor Tia. I didn’t want to miss them if we dispersed here and there.

I’m glad Frey is here too. We don’t have to worry about Lisa, Charl and the others anymore, and the rest—

I turned around and told him.

“You’re the only one,”

“…”

There was a man there, shivering and staring at me.

It’s a good-looking nobleman named Baron Agos. But, this guy is also unmeasurable in terms of strength, other than his magic level.

It’s too dangerous to go head-to-head.

It’s a good idea to have a good time with them.

It was a surprise attack.

I didn’t set up any wards or anything like that, so she didn’t notice me, and I put ring-shaped restraining wards around her neck, waist, and both wrists and ankles, and then I got her.

It was easier than the other woman.

But, this guy is actually weak, isn’t he?

“Say something. You haven’t said anything since we got you, have you?”

What’s that thing called the right to remain silent? I don’t know if there is such a thing in this world.

I fanned myself with the object in my hand, wondering what I should do.

“….What’s up with the Mercumenes?”

“Who?” He finally spoke.

“Who? Ah, the owner of this.”

I stop fanning myself. I’m holding the black wings that look like bat’s. I tore them off the woman.

She’s escaped from me in the end, but there’s no point in answering honestly.

“This is here. You’ll figure it out.”

Agos bites his back teeth with a giri.

“Born of a demon god, Mercumenes. So you’re a demon after all.”

“What’s that? I’ve never heard that word before.”

What demon is born of? Or did you evolve from a man to a demon like I did?

What is this guy talking about?

“Huh, hush now. But, there isn’t anyone who would stand in the way of my master’s demon god Lucifer’s return. I can imagine.”

“Hmmm. To sum up the story, you’ve taken the liberty of sticking around.”

There’s a god-like something called a demon god, and these guys are trying to revive it. And, it seems that either the demons are born from demons or people are born from them. I don’t understand.

I can’t understand it. But, it’s a pity. You may think that you’ve successfully interfered, but the revolution is already over. When you murdered King Girk Ortea on the first try. The ensuing controversy was a sideshow. Hence, no matter what you do—”

“Hmm? The King is alive, though?”

“What?”

“So, that’s why. The King is alive. I did my best to overhear your secret meetings with Giselotte. You were planning to kill him when you had your meeting in the palace.”

“So, I went to the meeting first, after the hustle and bustle with the female demon.”

Then, there was a guy who was obviously not a human being in the mix. The atmosphere is different from that of demons and demonkind, so I put up a protective ward against the other participants.

And then, that something suddenly self-destructed.

However, the people who are protected by my wards are all safe. Even now, they’ve been moved to another room in the palace and are still scurrying about.

“I’m sure my wards may not have been enough to protect them, but the King and other noblemen and their chiefs would have packed themselves up with defensive magic and formal wear.”

“So, I had plenty of time to be unharmed.”

When I showed him all on video how well they’re doing.

“Bah, nonsense! The explosive magic applied to that homunculus was also a technique to break through magical defenses. It’s a powerful thing that can destroy even the highest class of defensive rituals the royal family has. And why is that–!”

“Really? On the other hand, it would have been pointless for a mere ward.”

I mean, what is a homunculus? Is it him or someone else who doesn’t know?

“Can you identify a thing that has been elaborately shaped to look like a person? What the hell are you…”

“So, I guess that makes you some kind of a copy of my android? Yes, the atmosphere was very similar. My copy didn’t have any magic power at all, but I think the homunculus had it there.”

“I’ll try it next time.”

Be that as it may.

“Now, you’re going to tell me a lot of things. Demons, fiends, witches, resurrection, and all that stuff.”

Agos quickly turned blue.

“If I tell you, will you let me off the hook…?”

It’s the eyes that are tainted with expectation while being frightened.

“You’re a thick-skinned guy after all you’ve done.”

“I’m sure you’ll be happy to know that I’m not the only one. I just want information, that’s all.”

I didn’t mean to kill them… right away. It’s just that they’re all so vague and mysterious. If we don’t know their magic levels and attributes, we’ll be in trouble if something similar comes along in the future.

That’s why we need to tinker with his body and have him become…a test subject for measuring his strength.

Agos looked slightly relieved. He even had a slight smile on his face.

Somehow, it looks like he’s thinking, ‘I’m going to escape through the gap, barebacker.

So, I made the first move.

“What? What’s this? My body, my body, my body is torn apart!”

Both arms and legs were amputated. They also split the torso in two from the waist. Of course, he also cut off the head. But, it’s all connected…

That’s what I did to Giselotte’s neck.

I grabbed a handful of Agos’s hair and hid the rest of his body in mysterious space-time.

“Where did my body go…?”

“Don’t worry. You’re alive. So, you’re gonna have to be friendly with me.

“Ha ha…”

Agos replied with a click of his teeth. “You’ve aged like you’re about twenty years old.”

“Well, let’s get this over with, shall we?”

Charl, Lisa and Frey, they’re all cracked up. I’ve got to nail him or her.

I took Agos’s head and flew to the royal palace.
