The Demon King's Reincarnation Starts a New Life From Zero
V2 Chapter 16 Screaming at the Beach
“Tu, Mr Dreigo!”
Everyone in that place looked at Dreigo's figure, and knelt down.
Being a Hero even though he is a Devil, the heroic character Dreigo conjures up different kinds of emotions different from the loyalty given to the Demon King—— for example, hope and courage—— on those who see it.
Similar to the emotions that mankind harbored for Hero Ryuuya in the past, it was proof that Dreigo was a Hero.
“Ahh, please lift your head. That kind of thing is not necessary for me.”
“..... Yessir.”
While saying that, the captain naturally took the pose of saluting.
It was not because he was inflexible .. it was because he naturally had the greatest respect for Dreigo after his loyalty to the Demon King.
“Something giant is in the report ..... does it refer to the object floating there?”
“Y, yes! Oi, give me an explanation!”
Asked by the captain, the soldier who first discovered the ship straightened his respectful posture.
“Iya! Just a moment ago, that gigantic object appeared from the other side of the [Faraway Ocean], and from within that thing, a small floating object that could be seen there appeared, and the race that calls themselves Metalio riding it comes out waving the white flag!”
“They say that they have no hostile intentions, and seek help!”
“I understand. Good work.”
“Iya!”
Receiving the soldier's report, Dreigo pondered.
Metallio is of course a race that is on the side of mankind, but there was also the story of a Metalio who happened to be stranded on the Black Continent during the era of the Gramfia Demon King who had given up his technique to the black Continent blacksmith.
There are also other stories of the time of the Demon KingGramfia, and that they were a race that had a relatively deep intimacy with the Monsters.
If they say they have no hostile intentions, then there is room to consider the help they are looking for.
But .... he did not understand the meaning of the white flag.
Waving flags is generally an action taken to show their own affiliation. However, the plain white flag did not seem like an expression affiliated to anywhere.
In that case, what kind of meaning does it have.
A flag that has nothing written on it ……
No, if writing something on the flag indicates affiliation, then it could mean that they are people who have no clear affiliation, or are people who have no affiliation at all.
The reason why they expressly issued something like that was.
If that's the case, then they shouldn't be willing to attack them.
“...... I'm asking you this, Metallio! Is that a white flag an intention of surrender !?”
“In our place, the white flag is a symbol of having no hostile intentions!”
“I understand! Wait a minute!”
Having no hostile intentions, it was easy to believe those words, but he could not understand the reason why Metalio was in a place like this.
What if, the giant object was a new means of human travel.
What if, humanity had obtained the technology to cross the [Sea of Farthest Ends].
“……”
He's back to thinking.
It would be easy to kill them. However, the war between humans and Monsters was a thing of the past. The monsters had been reconstructing, and their hostile hearts towards mankind had also faded away bit by bit.
In this case, extending a hand to the enemies of the times is not very necessary.
“...... Make preparations to receive the Metalios. Let's hear their story first.”
“……! Is it alright !?”
Looking at the captain who seemed to be unable to agree with all of that, Dreigo gave a small smile.
“...... Don'worry. Even if they make some kind of suspicious action, I'm here.”
“....Yes sir.”
“Also, send a report to the royal capital. A man who could use Transfer Magic would be good for this task. Move immediately! We need central confirmation soon”
“Yessir, soon.”
When the army captain gave orders to the nearest subordinates, the soldier started running in panic.
After seeing that with his own eyes, Dreigo then shouted towards Metallios who was at sea.
“You are allowed to land on the beach! However, if there is any suspicious movement, you will be destroyed soon!”
“Thank you very much!”
The small boat that Metallios lived in approached the shore.
Before long, the small boat reached the mainland, and the three very short and gallant Metallios descended from it.
“I Borkio. I acted as captain of that ship.”
“I Dreigo. Ship... You mean that giant thing?”
“Yes. It's called Kurioel. A ship that has the prestige of Metalio is put on it.or so it is.”.
“This may be strange ...... did you cross the [Farthest Sea] with this thing called ship?”
“About it .... can you wait a minute.”
After Borkio scratched the back of his head, he looked at Dreigo with a puzzled face.
In fact, Borkio is far from the captain of the ship, but has a slightly higher status than that.
He was someone who had a diplomatic position but ... he had a hunch that it was still not time for him to show that hand here.
“You said that this place is called Zadark Kingdom or something like that, right? This place is definitely not one of the four big countries, but I don't know where this place is.”
“I'm sure we got lost in the [Farthest Sea] but .... from the way you spoke, it seems like you can't reach this place unless you pass through the [Farthest Ocean].”
“It is true.”
Hearing Dreigo's words, Borkio opened his eyes wide, and even the other two Metalio could not hide their shock.
“O, oi, oi. Stop with the joke is bad. The place surrounded by the [Faraway Ocean], isn't it just the Black Continent?”
“As I said.”
I see, so he doesn't know ... is what Dreigo understood.
“This place, the Black Continent. The Zadark Kingdom was in that black Continent. The westernmost beach is this place.”
“B ...... Be ...... Black continent !?”
The cry of Borkio resounded on the beach.
With three Metallios screaming at full power, a loud noise piled up. Even Dreigo covered his ears and grimaced at that excessive loudness.
When the scream was over, Dreigo sighed.
“Betul. I now understand that you all came here without knowing that. But, still ...... Ships, yeah. Humanity does have something quite troublesome.”
“Oi, wait. You are! Speaking of the Black Continent and you call us mankind ...”.
“Yes, I'm a Devil.”
Seeing the group of Borkio trembling, Dreigo once again covered his ears.
Borkio's screams echoing full across the beach was something that happened soon after.
