Magic Gems Gourmet

It was one night.

Omega-go-go-go-go-go-go-go-go!

With a dream of envy, the demon king Archer celebrated Ain. Called to the sandy beach at the back of the castle, Ein handed her a piece of confectionery bread.

The stall in the castle town was a popular confectionery bread in the Imperial City.

Thank you very much.

As soon as she received it, Ain chewed the candy bread.

I have been working late today, so this is not bad.

Depending on who sees it, some aristocrats will be dismayed to see that the demon king's gift... But Ain knew how Archer felt.

I don't think there's any lies to celebrating.

"I already have a proper gift in this castle, so I'll leave it to you."

What? Did you do it properly?

Then Cain came over and answered.

"Red Dragon material was found in the warehouse of the Demon King Castle." It must have been defeated a long time ago. "

No way, did you do that?

"Oh, I gave them all the gifts except for the ones that Sylvia used to refine the medicine." It's going to be all but dry gut. "

"... Isn't it just expensive?"

"Is it too expensive for my child, you fool?"

Cain walks along the sandy beach with gentle waves as he leaves the words behind him.

Late, Ain and Arche followed. Archer was chewing the same candy bread that Ain had been eating before long, and he was drowsy without changing his appearance.

"Ain"

said the father of the first king.

"Have you noticed that Archer hasn't been seen lately?"

"Yeah, yeah. Were you near the Elves' town?" While we were going to the Iron Kingdom, I thought it was about you. "

"It's done once. After that, I asked Arche to go again."

"--nh. Servants... no, oniichan is a rough dreamer." I want to reward you. "

I'll be in the Imperial City for a while, so you can take your time.

"... I'll forgive you this time."

Slow, discouraging tone.

Even so, the demon king Archer, who ran away and started the war, still possesses a rare magic power in his body. Rather, when she wakes up from a rampage, she can freely exert her power at that time, which is stronger than before.

"Let's talk about it. After that, it was the reason I sent Archer back, but it was a bit of a hassle. Didn't Warren tell you?"

No, nothing.

"Hmm... you must be looking out for Ain and Krone."

"If you don't mind, can I ask you what's troubling you?"

"Yeah, I was going to let you hear it from the beginning. It's about Ein. I thought you'd be more dissatisfied later if you stayed silent."

I know everything. It's about my son.

It came from Cain's voice.

"I saw the Dark Elves."

"Are you sure it's the same dark elf as Grandma?"

"That's right. The Dark Elves are a small population." In modern times, only people living in Ichii are considered to be the total number of individuals. Like the land where Wernstein lived, unlike the Elves, he wasn't supposed to live in a certain group. "

Could it be that you found it near the Elves?

Cain nodded and handed Ain a small stone. It was a small stone that seemed to be everywhere, but there were intricate patterns engraved on it.

"It fell near the edge of the elves." The trees in the forest were in bad shape, but it must be due to the curse. "

What happened to the Dark Elf you said you found?

"Archer put me to sleep."

"Hmm. I put him to sleep."

Then we tried to transport them to a nearby town, but the Dark Elves who woke up in the woods were terrified of Archer.

"Hmm. I scared the shit out of him."

To ask why, it was because I was the Demon King.

"In the Dark Elves' village, Archer's story is told. It seems that if you stay up late, the demon king Archer will come to his dream and kill the bad boy."

That scares me.

It would be disgraceful to Archer, but I can't complain of anything given the rampage of the past.

She turned her back uncomfortably and tried to chew on the candy bread.

Did you hear about the Dark Elf settlement?

"It's light. Just Archetti around told me how much. He was ordered by the head of the Dark Elves to walk around and check on Ishtarika."

Are you saying that you were acting covertly?

"That's right. The curse wasn't meant to wither the trees, it was a barrier used to stop being attacked by monsters." Sylvia is definitely aware of that. "

"--It's somehow a tale of preview, but do you feel like you've come to sell quarrels like an iron kingdom?"

Asked, Cain shrugged his shoulders.

Ein's question seemed different, and Cain sighed.

"The other way around, I hear you were looking for help." I guess he was hiding because he still didn't trust the outsiders. "

"Help...?"

Come here, Aachette opens her mouth.

She said that she had been waiting for you and jumped at you with a sleepy expression on her face.

"The forest is dying."

I said this to my mouth.

The forest with the Dark Elf settlement is dying, and things have changed since a few months ago. As Ein, I can't stop thinking about the turmoil in the iron country.

I was nervous that something strange would happen again.

"So, I went to the settlement. It was a moist, dark forest."

"... sister, were you scared?"

"I apologized every time I met an unknown Dark Elf." I'm a little lonely after being pleaded over and over again for just the children. "

"... I guess so."

I can easily imagine it. The presence of Archetti in the village must not have seemed like an evil god or something that would bring disaster.

It was Cain who made the decision to send Archer.

"I wouldn't like it if there was a lie about the purpose of the covert action. I'm sorry, but I just wanted to look into it thoroughly."

"Chi, I don't think my father's decision was wrong... but I'm sure the Dark Elves were scared..."

"I know, that's why I've been telling them some useful stories."

"Hmm. Onee-chan brought up the medicine she had." That's how the plants get better! "

At least that's what my salvation is.

Ein asked with a bitter smile.

Where was the Dark Elf settlement?

"It's been about a week since Wernstein lived here, and I've been running Archette."

By the way, Archer can move nimble if he's decent.

Even though I was a demon king, my physical abilities were never low.

"Well, that's quite a distance." I wonder if the adventurers have not traveled before. "

"The curse of the Dark Elves is very interesting." The barrier they create is probably the pinnacle of all the races that inhabit this continent. Sylvia is also a proven strength. "

"Huh... that's why you were hiding the settlement?"

"Probably. As Archetti said, I found a few old magic props." I talked to Warren, but I came to the conclusion that it was very similar to the magic tool in the iron kingdom. "

(... wow)

In other words, the ancestors of the Dark Elves' settlement were the Dark Elves who destroyed the Iron Kingdom.

I saw the curse of the Dark Elves in the Iron Kingdom, so it was extraordinary.

Ein is already bored, and I'm beginning to think that I don't want to have any involvement. Still, it is a natural thought as a future king that cannot be ignored.

"Ist researchers will be coming soon."

That's also sudden, isn't it?

"The Dark Elves were asking for help." You saw Archetti, didn't you? "

"Yes. I was already in a great state without joking." Since the god tree (,,) has withered, I think the forest will be dead in a few years. "

Onee-sama, what is a god tree?

"It's not a monster." But it's a very large and old tree, and it stores a lot of natural magic. The forest around it will be peaceful, so I've always liked elves and Dark Elves. "

But the god tree was hunted.

It wasn't withered, it was already withered.

"The death of the god tree is said to be the life of the forest." It's time to leave the forest. "

"... but for those who lived in it, it's not over."

"That's probably why." Even though they've been stuck in the village, they've been desperate to protect the land where they live. "

The question arose as to whether we could help the Dark Elves.

Cain says that the story has already been scrutinized by Warren, and we're already talking about how to move forward.

If I may ask, Sylvard is involved.

Ein has been very busy lately, and it hasn't been long since Krone had a child.

I was distracted by the influence.

"We will send Ist researchers," she said. It's not long since the iron country, and Ishtarika has to move vigorously. "

"And the Dark Elves are going to bone you out..."

"Of course, it's a concern. So the researchers are limited to a few races, and only those who are not passionate about Elves or Dark Elves. However, if you use the power of charm even if it's not a color, it's irrelevant."

"Woah... that's right, Warren." I didn't even have to think about it. "

"Ein, you just have to be quiet this time." I have Sylvia and Archer by my side, so focus on staying next to Krone. "

By the way......

Cain, a monster, was not usually concerned, but there was a problem that his turn, Sylvia, was concerned about unexpectedly.

"When is the wedding?"

"Whose is it?"

"Hah... it's decided between Ain and Krone, and between Ain and Chris"

Nothing else. Of course.

Rather, it is better to listen to the wedding of unrelated people while asking Ain here.

Ain sighed and scratched his cheek, "I'm sorry."

Then he touched upon the rule in Ishtarika.

"It has to be since I took the throne." On the other hand, it can be listed at any time after taking the throne.

Oh, you're going to reign that day.

"Well, you can't tell anyone!" Especially since I want to keep them out of your ears! "

"I think I know." But is it okay? Krone said he had taken Ain's son. "

"--- That's not a problem. I will skip the discussion based on the law because it will be long, but it seems that there is nothing to worry about, including civic sentiment. Besides, my mother said that Krone will not give birth until next spring..."

It involves the Krone race.

The Krone became a Doriado, but at present there are only three Doriados in the vast Ishtarica.

It was just Krone, Chris, and Olivia.

In childbirth, the interracial race is not determined at various times by various races.

With that in mind, Sylvia checks Krone's new magical powers every day.

As her daily records gathered, she realized a fact.

Currently, Krone says she is in a state that closely resembles Pixie's pregnancy.

Pixies were 1.5 to 2 times more common in humans than in humans until childbirth, and some individuals had records of this.

Applying the condition of the krone to pixie, childbirth is somehow after Ain's reign.

"That's why I don't need to worry about anything."

Well, that's fine.

Cain said that and stroked Ain's head with a pompous stroke.

"Um, is it okay for my fathers to open the Demon King Castle?" If so, I could send a knight..... "

"Warren has already distracted me."

"... I thought maybe even after I said it myself"

No matter what he thinks, Warren always goes up.

When will we be able to make a decision before he does? Another year later, Ein, the king, imagined the future, but couldn't imagine the future that was beating Warren.

The opponent is a wise man who has changed his appearance several times over the centuries and dedicated himself to Ishtarika.

It may be more ominous to try to confront Warren in 17 or 18 years.

(In any case, the Dark Elf Village-)

There is also the word "god tree" that Archer used to say, and it is by no means uninteresting. It also has something to do with our friendly relations, unlike the iron country.

That's why I couldn't help thinking about it, but now Ein can't afford to leave.

Because in his mind, he was all about sitting next to Krone.
