"I ... have no reason ..."
Uliminus knelt down, sweating profusely in front of Demon King Gaul who was sitting on his throne.
"... So, you're telling me that you don't know about the mysterious magic disturbance in the east?" Demon King Gaul asked the same question once again.
The leading espionage organization of the Demon King's army, Silent Ear. Uliminus as the demon chief of this organization, was responsible for gathering information from all over the continent.
Silent Ear has a long record of successful ventures and is the pride of the army. But until now they have faced problems. It was about magical disturbances in the east of the continent.
He sends an agent, the Grenial Magic Ninja to investigate in Houtarou City, a town located near the disturbance. However, when Uliminus thought that the mission was a success since Glenial returned soon after, to his surprise Glenial started babbling nonsense.
"I want permission for me to become a human disciple"
Uliminus immediately rejected him and told him to stop messing around, but he still insisted on becoming a disciple, therefore, he locked him up and let him think about what nonsense he asked for.
If it was like in the past, he would have sent a replacement but since this time the Demon King ordered for a massive search in Aapshow, there was no manpower left.
Furthermore, it was a region without any important events happening so, the organization did not place too much emphasis on seeding agents, unfortunately this place became the center of the magic undulation.
The undulation magic was so powerful that even Demon King Gaul could detect it from all the streets in his palace, hence the demon king ordered Uliminus to investigate.
This undulation magic is a magic created by Marissa, the magician of Darkness to release magic from the underworld. Marissa who uses such magic is currently held inside the spiritual world of Hiya who is forced to her good news.
Unfortunately for the demon lord and Uliminus, they would not know what was happening in Houtarou City.
"... I guess it can't help if you don't know ... But it's not something we can ignore"
... A few days later in the city of Houtarou ...
“Furio dono! Thank you for coming here to sell your amazing equipment every time! "
As usual Furio sold her dragon scales equipment and greeted the happy shop owner by waving her hands in the air.
"Home! You must be tired from work, ”Lys welcomed, Furio who just came out of the entrance.
Although the store owner invited Lys to come along with Furio to the inside of the store every time Furio came, Lys refused him every time. This was because it was a method for Lys to prevent the enemy from targeting Furio and to be able to eliminate them without involving him.
This becomes a daily routine, due to the incident with Hiya, who attacked him, which made him more wary of the surroundings.
"Suami, where should we have lunch?"
Lys smiled widely and hugged Furio.
"Varissa and Billy haven't come yet, so maybe we should wait and ask their opinion."
"I think it's okay too"
The two went on to find cover from the sun, by heading towards the tree.
"Mrs?"
Furio suddenly stopped near her feet, as if she detected something unusual and at the same time, behind the two, Hiya came out with a human form.
"The tallest and the Mistress. Please retreat. I detected a demonic aura nearby, heading here. I'll clean it in a minute ”
Hiya bowed, and was about to eliminate the disturbance.
“Aa, it's okay, Hiya. It was probably an acquaintance of ”
"Hmm? ... an acquaintance with ... that? ... But, this aura was definitely not a normal demon ... ”
The man Furio saw, noticed Furio and stopped at his feet.
"... You ... in a different appearance but ... Aapshow don't you think?"
“I'm Furio now. Long time Gozaru ”
The one who approached Furio was Demon King Gaul, dressed as an adventurer by the alias of Gozaru.
In the Demon King's castle, when Uliminus and the demon lord were conversing, he said he would investigate the cause of which undulation. Lucky for him, there was no human strength left to split, "Oh well, it might be a good opportunity to have fun," allowing him to use it as an excuse to escape from the castle.
To be honest, since there was no improvement in the search for Aapshow's whereabouts and how he couldn't meet with Varissa's knight, stress was building up and he needed to breathe fresh air.
But, uh,
In one coincidence, where Gozaru went, he was somehow able to meet with Aapshow, now Furio. He smiled in pure happiness as he shook Furio's hand.
"I don't think we'll be reunited in a place like that"
"Me too! Glad to have you with me ”
Previously, the Demon King met Furio near the forest of Deibeza and held a tea party together. This was because the demon lord saw the incredible power Furio had and decided to befriend him.
"... As expected of the highest ... To establish a friendly relationship with the demon lord .... My admiration for you is increasing day by day"
Hiya bowed deeply as she became very surprised at the exchange.
.... This little girl, she is not as simple as she seems .. As expected of Furio, she made a great friend.
Gozaru stared at Hiya for a while and measured his strength, and then showed a look of admiration towards Furio for being able to have a new comrade.
“Sorry to keep you waiting! We just finished shopping ”
Varissa and Billy appear carrying bags of goods purchased from the store and call Furio and his group.
Gozaru called out to him happily,
"Varissa-dono!"
For Gozaru's call, he looked towards the voice.
"B ... Gozaru .. sa .. .n"
Varissa acted like a frog that the snake glared at as her body froze and began to tremble in fear.
Varissa now knows that Gozaru is the demon king of Gaul.
Therefore, he also knew Gozaru was somehow also looking for him while looking for Furio.
He thought this was because of his rude act of pointing a sword at his face at his first encounter, and was looking for him to take revenge.
Thus, the feeling of Lord Gaul's love for her was not understood by Varissa.
... Hou, he did an extremely complex footwork in preparation for any attack he might receive.
Gaul's admiration increased once again, as he misunderstood.
