Connected World's

Demon Queen Rosella de Voir Junois & Marines

'Man! I'll finish you off!'

Amuk Rosella in his mind while drifting very quickly towards the place where humans came to their territory.

'Don't let me let you take anyone's life here!'

He darted so fast that even the wind was blowing so fiercely following behind him, with the enslaving magic power that enveloped him, Rosella increased the speed until she saw the target she was aiming at.

"That's you!"

As if struck by a bomb, the ground shook followed by smoke billowing from where Rosella stood

"Man! How dare you come here!"

("what!?")

("Don't shoot, ROE! ROE!")

'Huh?'

The language he had never heard began to be heard among the strangely dressed humans.

They looked very wary of him, well that was already very natural, after all

'They don't look like an army of heroes like Sophia' says'

'That strange thing, made of iron?'

He was a little curious about what he saw, it looked like an ordinary carriage but he did not see any horse or animal that was used to move it.

"You humans! What do you want here! If you want to fight, I will grant your wish right now!"

His impact was in a very gripping tone as if it was the tone of a death angel who was ready to take their lives, but a strange feeling flashed through his mind, as he looked towards the human who was in front of him.

'They were wary of me, but why didn't I see the fear in their eyes?' He thought again as he watched them very closely.

Then before long, one of them began to step forward with both hands raised up as if to signal that he had no ill intentions.

'woman? Hm.... Pretty weird they're this'

The strange helmet was removed showing that the man who advanced towards it was a woman with black hair.

"Hello, and good afternoon"

Greet the woman with a very rigid language, behind the woman, one human being dressed as strangely as her, stood behind the woman.

'They can't use human language? It's so weird of them'

Rosella thought with a sharp look still he did not divert from them all.

"I'm sorry if we acted presumptuously by coming to this place without permission, but, we're not here to start a war with you"

Saying the woman again with the language still very stiff, Rosella was made speechless when she heard what the woman said.

With a still incredulous look at what the woman said, Rosella began to narrow her eyes.

"Well what's the point of you coming here, man?" He asked with a little pressing intonation trying to make them, these humans, feel threatened and reveal their real rotten plans.

'Don't fool me, man, you are hypocrites to the creatures of this world'

"uh?"

He was dumbest to see those who did not flinch at all with a gripping aura from him, when the situation began to feel quiet, the woman smiled back at him.

"We are here to have a good relationship with you, hopefully you don't mind our presence"

He said in a very polite tone, they, these humans, they do not look to lie or hide any bad intentions to him, or to the people here.

In fact, 'They don't look scared of us?'

This was his first time in history, he, had directly seen humans who were not afraid of the demi-human race and the demon race like them.

Slightly suspicious, Rosella began to lower her vigilance towards the strange man.

"Okay, I believe you guys. If you dare betray me....."

Rosella began to glare sharply with a very thick killing aura she directed at the human it made all the inhabitants fear towards her, but the humans still did not budge at all.

The woman still with a smiling face without fear towards him, replied very politely.

"We understand very well what you say, miss"

"Hmp, well, then come with me, there's something I want to talk to you about"

"Thank you for your understanding"

Just when Rosella hoped that they would betray her when she turned around, it was precisely the attack she hoped would never come, but what he heard from the woman in a foreign language made him a little wonder who and where they came from.

("Sergeant and Corporal, come with me, the rest of you, stay and don't do anything that provoke them!")

'What language are they wearing?'

He thought as he walked towards the castle, he occasionally rethought about his choice of allowing humans to enter the Demon territory, but after seeing for himself how this strange human did not react to him at all, Rosella could only assume that they really did not have any intentions to the demi-human race or the demon race that was here.

As they walked through the streets of the settlement, hundreds of pairs of eyes stared at Rosella or rather at the humans behind her, it was quite reasonable why they were so worried about the existence of humans in this place, after everything they did to the demon race in the previous war.

'Humans are a ruthless race, they will always thirst for power and want to rule'

That was the sentence from his father who was also the ruler of the devil before Rosella, the war with the human race that was caused due to disputes about the territory caused the demon race to be almost destroyed.

'I won't let humans do the same to us'

On the way, the demon knight escorting Rosella suddenly stopped making Rosella instantly aware of her daydream.

"What's wrong?"

"Miss, that..."

The knight pointed at a child with a pair of animal ears that seemed to run towards them.

"N..Miss Rosella!"

"Whoa, wait a minute, son, what do you want"

Intercepting the knight who was trying to get close to Rosella, the panicked face of the boy seemed to want something from him.

Rosella began to walk towards the child who was being held by her bodyguards.

"What do you want, young man?"

"N..Miss Rosella, help my mother!"

"What's wrong with your mom?"

"He's sick red!"

Hearing the name of the disease, Rosella gasped, the disease among demons and demi-humans is very rare, but once infected it is almost impossible to treat, he said, even for a person like him who had the magic ability to heal all wounds, he was rendered helpless by that mysterious illness.

"Tsk! Quickly take me to your place! Guards, you escort them to the castle!"

"Eh... Miss?"

"Hurry up, follow my orders!"

"..... With pleasure"

The knight turned towards the man standing behind them as if he did not want to comment, until one of them began to walk towards Rosella who was spontaneously intercepted by her bodyguards.

"Wait, where are you going, man"

"excuse me if I'm presumptuous, but may I come to this boy's place, I may be able to help"

"Ha!? It's none of your business, it's our problem!"

Rebutting with a loud tone of the royal guard, towards the humans who seemed to want to interfere with the affairs of their race, but to Rosella herself, she looked at the strange human with a slightly surprised look.

'They'

He felt no hidden intentions or false intonation from the woman, even since he met this strange human, they had no magic flow in them at all, as if they were real ordinary people.

"Leave it be"

"Eh!? Miss Rosella"

Surprised by what Rosella said, the guards began to look at her with unconvinced looks, but Rosella's flat expression made them unable to refute Rosella's orders.

"Son, take me to your mother's place"

Rosella said calmly, Rosella and the three humans then walked in the other direction where they reached a slum that seemed to be very old to be habitable.

("Lieutenant, I think the population here lives below the poverty line") Joseph said when he saw the condition of this house was not much different from the houses in this kingdom

("You're right Sergeant")

They spoke a language that he did not understand at all, but from what Rosella could catch, they did not sound like they were talking about anything suspicious.

"Mama!"

The boy ran into the house with Rosella following behind him, inside the house, a woman lying on an old bed with a reddened face.

'This is terrible' Rosella thought as she looked at her situation.

Amidst the panic after seeing how severe the woman's condition was, suddenly the stranger moved towards her.

"Wait, what are you doing!"

Intercept Rosella in a slightly snapping tone, the human expression did not change, the woman actually looked very serious.

"I know it's a little presumptuous, but let me help you, I'm also a doctor at our place"

Not waiting for a response from Rosella, the woman took off her helmet and took something from her strange pocket.

"I'll check on you, please don't be too afraid" the woman said to the demon race woman who was lying motionless.

'What is he.....'

Rosella, who wanted to interrupt what the woman was doing, quickly stopped her intentions after seeing how this man was examining and doing such a meticulous thing as if he was really a doctor.

"You have a fever, can I ask permission to treat you?"

Asked the woman in a polite tone, the lying woman simply nodded limply in response.

Right after, he took out something like an object made of a very thin knife filled with liquid in the tube.

"...."

Rosella turned around when a hand patted her shoulder. The man smilingly shook his head before saying what their intentions were.

"It's a treatment procedure, don't worry, we can guarantee it"

Right after he said that, suddenly something very surprising for him happened, as if invisible magic, the woman who was lying on the bed with a reddened face, soon his face slowly returned.

"Your mother will be healthy soon, this is taking medicines to speed up her healing" the man told the child in a very polite tone.

"Hick...hick... thanks!"

'They.....they treat the demon race!?'

Rosella and her personal bodyguard who saw that could only be silent gawking in disbelief at what they saw.

That way, the relationship between the demon race and the alien human race was established, but a speck of vigilance was still left in Rosella's mind, he still could not accept the human race as a trustworthy race, but with what he witnessed today, he could at least be a little sure if there were some of the humans who really did not behave as he imagined.

...----------------...

"Welcome, Miss Rosella"

When the team reached the entrance of the castle, they were greeted by the servants and knights of the half-human race who stood paving the way for them.

"Whoa, so this is noble life"

Jonathan who was unprepared for such a welcome could only be shocked in amazement at how this was

"Are you, man, not like this?"

Rosella who saw how Jonathan's reaction as if the first time seeing this speech, can only wonder how people like them who usually uphold the value of nationality actually look somewhat different.

"Uhm.I'm sorry for the sassness of one of my members, Miss, but what you said is true. We are not from the nobility"

"heeh"

Rosella and the three Marines begin to walk past the servants, they begin to enter the castle where the interior of the castle feels very antique to modern humans like them.

"Follow me, we'll discuss in the main room"

Rosella orders, Fujiwara just nods in a smile in response.

As they walked past several guards and demi-human knights, they (humans) were unceasingly showered with cold gazes, as well as suspicious gazes coming from the demon race.

"Miss Rosella!"

Soon someone came in a hurry. Rosella who saw who came to them could only answer with a flat face.

"Sophia, save your questions for later, to now order the maid division to prepare a banquet for my guests"

"Eh!? N..Miss?"

"I'll explain later"

".....rr.r..... All right, I'm doing it"

Sophia immediately turned around, moving towards another place, from her facial expression, Rosella knew very well that she would be showered with thousands of questions and protests from among the demons in the kingdom, but for now, it was a matter of fact, he still wanted to satisfy his curiosity about who they were.

When they arrive at a very large room where this place is used to welcome guests from other countries' nobles, Rosella begins to sit gracefully opposite the marines.

"For now, please sit down, me and you humans, must have some things to talk about, don't you think?"

Although the tone sounds very graceful, but Fujiwara knows very well if it contains hidden intentions in it.

"Thank you for the welcome, Miss"

As Fujiwara begins to sit, Jonathan and Joseph stand directly behind Fujiwara in a military pose.

Before long the servants came to bring warm tea to Rosella and Fujiwara as if to be the first welcome in the nobility.

"Thank you for your kind welcome, miss, then let me introduce myself" Fujiwara began to open the subject. "I, First Lieutenant Fujiwara Sayaka, on my right Corporal Jonathan Crish and on my left Sergeant Joseph. As you probably already know, we're human"

"Hm... Fujiwara Sayaka, did I really mention your name?"

"You can call me, Fujiwara, Miss"

"Humu, well, then I will introduce myself, I am Rosella de Voir Junois, the ruler in the Demon and Demi-human races. Well now, can we just stop the pleasantries and just get straight to the topic?"

Suddenly Rosella's aura felt extremely gripping, the unshakable Fujiwara still maintained a smiling expression on his face.

"By pleasure"

"You, then, tell me who and what you really want"

The question is straight to the point, Rosella is very sure if they will lie and with the lie, she can uncover what their intentions really are, he said, but what Fujiwara explained about who and what they were was leaving him speechless, he could only say in his mind

'Impossible' and the like, because of what they are, these humans are saying is very absurd.

"So you said. You, humans, come from another world and you are a civilization that knows absolutely no existence of a race other than humans!?"

"True, our goal here, we are ordered to build a relationship with you in the hope of mutual cooperation that can be beneficial for both parties"

'Ugh.....'

But if he thought again, starting from the way they spoke to the demon race as well as the demi-humans who were normally very much feared by the human race, they did not show any signs of it, instead, they even seemed to be very interested in races other than humans.

"I know it doesn't make sense for you to accept, but at least, can you give our leaders a kind response so we can respect and understand each other"

"And if I refuse, what will you do?"

A sharp gaze was again directed at Fujiwara.

Fujiwara smiled back at Rosella without any intention of hiding anything from her.

"We will respect your decision, and we will not do anything to turn you against us"

'Ho? So so. They mean, if I don't agree to their request, they won't do anything and keep in touch with us, very interesting'

Seeing the absence of lies and evil intentions from this human, Rosella smiled sincerely at Fujiwara for the first time.

"Then, I'm very honored by your flattery"

"Hooo .... I thought you were pretty when you smiled"

"Aragh!"

"Eh!?"

"Errgh!!! Watch your talk, Corporal!"

Rosella who did not expect to be praised clearly made her jerk in shock, her face was flushed red because the praise from humans was very plain and pure from her mind.

Corporal Jonathan himself, he was almost beaten by Sergeant Joseph because of that irreverence.

"Ma.sorry our sass, Your Excellency Rosella!" Fujiwara began to panic due to Jonathan's actions that were too late.

But Rosella herself who has always been known as the daughter of the demon lord who is very feared, and known as the red scarlet of hell, and, getting such a sincere compliment he hardly ever heard in his life.

"Argh... fufufu... hahaha"

Rosella let out a laugh at the unexpected behavior of these strange humans, they were really strange in her eyes to the point that she laughed.

"Ha.ha..... Just this time I was made to laugh with a human"

".... K..We are happy with your praise"

Fujiwara replied slightly stiffly, he no longer knew what punishment he would have to give Jonathan if they messed up this meeting.

"For your offer, let me reconsider, since you guys are so unique, I'm the ruler here, you guys I accept as guests"

"We really appreciate your understanding, Miss Rosella"

"Your"

That way, the meeting between the two races was successfully established, for the Marines themselves they seemed to have to adapt to the cold, fearful and vigilant gaze from their surroundings.

For Rosella herself, she was very interested in the world told by the woman named Fujiwara.

...****************...

Delta Headquarters, February 2023, 0900 Local time.

It had been a few days since the first marines set foot in this strange place.

The base situation still looks very busy where the construction team is still actively working on various tasks.

One by one the buildings for the officers and command had entered the completion stage, and several others were still in the works.

Offshore, one by one the Arleigh Burke Class Destroyer ships began to approach the shoreline as an additional form of air defense.

About 3 kilometers from the coastline, two aircraft carriers can be seen where they are still busy with their respective activities.

"Colonel, the report from the alpha team has arrived"

"Good"

In the transcript of the document containing the progress of the progress of negotiations with local authorities, from the description of the alpha team they managed to form a good relationship with the ruler of the devil and the half-human, Rosella de Voir Junois, from the description of the alpha team, Alpha team assured Rosella that they were willing to open discussions with the marines.

'They are good works' He does not know whether to praise or salute them with their courage.

Other reports suggest that the economic development of the kingdom, Fujiwara and Joseph said, was still very large in the kingdom, almost all the inhabitants of the kingdom were all poor people, the report said, because of the war that occurred in the previous ruling era, the economy that was forced into the military sector made the crisis inevitable.

"Hoo"

Then reports showed Rosella's behavior towards the poor people who were very well received by the people in the kingdom.

"Very interesting, this could be a good sign"

"Do you think so, Colonel?"

"Of course, if we can keep them open with financial support, maybe in the future we can create a status quo that is commensurate for both parties. Didn't you?"

"Quite reasonable, then, should I tell Admiral Switzerland about this development?"

"Please"

As soon as the First Officer was from the command camp, he began to move towards the helipad where he was going to the USS Gerald R Ford. where Admiral Switzerland commanded all the marine assets in the world.
