Chapter 345 – Management

The main members of the subjugation party gathered.

“You’re going to that devil’s castle?!”

After hearing my story, Ayla asked in surprise.

“As long as you go, bloodless entry…That’s a very appetizing story.”

Liliana seemed suspicious about Neria’s information.
It was a normal reaction.
I was also dubious.

“Your Holiness! The devil’s words are unbelievable!

Judith still had considerable distrust of the devil.

Trap.

It wasn’t that I didn’t think of that, but I came to the conclusion that I had to move.

If you worry about each and every thing like that, you won’t be able to move anywhere. And anyway, there was nothing around.

There are no buildings in this wasteland…
There is only one place: the pyramid where we are and the great devil’s castle.
Even that was quite far away.

Neria’s words aside.
Even if it’s not her words, it’s a story that if you want to investigate the Pandemonium, it’s the place you should go to after all.
I had no choice.

“Even if it’s a trap, there’s only one thing that’s dangerous.”

“…?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to me.

“It’s the same transfer trap as the one we fell into this time.”

To be honest, I don’t think there’s anything threatening to me other than the metastasis trap that happened to this black magician.
It seems that the warlock was also sent here at the cost of his life because he had no other answer.

“Your role is important there.”

I said while looking at the two archmages.

“…?”

The two archmages look at me with puzzled eyes.

“You two, prepare a plan so that I won’t fall into a transfer trap. Is that enough possible?”

“That’s not difficult, but…”

Liliana replied with her smirk on her face.

“Don’t make mistakes like last time.”

“..That’s because I didn’t know that the transfer would have set a trap…If only I had known…”

Liliana makes excuses every time.
Having to say such things after being hurt… Is just ugly.

“Your Holiness, please take me with you.”

Judith knelt down at me and said.

“No. This time, I’m taking only Neria…The succubus.”

“Holy Holiness, are you talking alone?! It’s dangerous!”

“It’s dangerous… It’s more dangerous to take you with you.”

Liliana cuts in and gives Judith her scolding.

“Yes? That, that’s…”

“Judith, you are Jim. Didn’t you see Unho’s battle before. If we weren’t there, Unho might have fought more leisurely. At least Bright or Ignis would be of some help.”

Liliana harshly calls the Grand Master a burden.
But it was also true.

“Keuugh… His Holiness, I’m sorry… It’s because I’m lacking in strength…”

I wonder if it’s true that the Grand Master is lacking in power… But originally, strength is relative.

As Liliana said, if you take others with you, she also has a lot to worry about.

If Neria tricked me, she tried to trap me.

There is also a good refuge called the Hero’s Rest.
If I could put the people I take into the hero’s resting place, I wouldn’t have worried about this.
Unfortunately, only Jonzan Ignis was able to enter the hero’s resting place.

Even if an empty house was robbed, I was relieved because there were Ignis, Bright, and even a great wizard.

“Unho, just as you said, I will create a metastasis-disrupting artifact. Not right away. It will take several days to prepare.”

It was not difficult to wait a few days.
The Great Demon Castle does not run away.
It’s not urgent.

I decided to wait patiently while the archmages prepare.

I wondered if I would be able to live a little leisurely life in the meantime…

Next day.
Judith came to my tent.

“There are voices worrying about food among the adventurers. There is still some time to spare…”

The surroundings were wasteland.
Even after washing my eyes, I couldn’t find a place to get water or food.

Whether or not the adventurers starved to death was out of my question, but…

A comrade who fought together? It’s also… Thanks to the meat shields that the subjugation party had, I fought the Daegal demon a little more comfortably.

A little red line seemed to be okay.

Of course, I didn’t mean to share the food I had.

Even though they died like that, there were still two or three hundred adventurers who survived.
If I provide them with the food I brought, they will soon be gone.

“Hmm… Come to think of it, don’t demons have magic stones in their bodies too?”

“Yeah… But… That’s food and what…”

Magic is precious.
But what is the meaning of the magic stone when it fell into the demon realm?
There was no way that the magic stone would come into sight when he had to worry about survival.

Well, after I came to the Pandemonium, things started happening so frantically that I didn’t even think about getting the magic stone.

“That’s great. If you bring magic stones from the devil’s corpse or from anywhere, he says he’ll trade them for food.”

The food I brought is limited.
I couldn’t feed them all.

However, the Dimension Shop is different.

It was about ten times more expensive, but with magic stones, the supply of food was infinite.

‘Oh, I didn’t know that I would touch the food in the Dimensional Shop…’

In the meantime, there was no shortage of food, and of course, there was no need to touch the expensive dimension store food.

I ate one jajangmyeon as a test before, but…
The taste was fine.
However, it was not as tasty as it was expensive.

Since I can’t lose too, I thought I could provide food at a higher price than the Dimensional Shop.

‘When I have time, I’ll have to find out what the cheapest and most plentiful food is.’

“His Holiness, and…”

“What else are the adventurers doing?”

“Yes…”

They’re annoying

I tried to ignore it, but Judith’s face showed an expression that I should have listened to.

“There was an adventurer who tried to break into Liliana’s tent last night.”

“…What?”

He was crazy
Liliana is pretty.
But he is a great wizard.
Her personality was also not good.
It was too good to try to attack her like that.

“Liliana-sama said that the adventurer’s mind seems strange…”

“What?”

It’s been a few days.

A madman whose mental state has already gone out?

No… Is it that your mentality is out?
Rather, maybe it’s a good mentality.
I tried to attack that Liliana…

“I examined the man and found that he was a conscientious adventurer, albeit with a soft character.”

Originally, criminals are often unexpected human beings.
Nothing special.

“I felt strange and I inquired about other adventurers. And there was a common strange story coming out of them.”

“It’s a strange story…”

“Adventurers commonly say that they have nightmares and that they often hear strange voices.”

“A nightmare? A voice?”

What was this again?
Did these guys go crazy as a group after coming to the demon realm?

“Tsk tsk. How did you live an adventurer’s life with such a weak mentality?”

“…I don’t think so. From Liliana-sama’s words, it seems that adventurers aren’t out of their minds and saying things like that.”

“…Liliana did that?”

There was no reason for Liliana to protect the adventurers.

“So… Why did Liliana say that?’

“He said that he would find out more and let us know. This is my guess… But I think it might be the work of the devil.”

Judith said with a serious expression.

“…A demon…?”

The only demon around here is the succubus Neria.
Is it Neria?
Does she have any reason to do that?

Although Judith hates demons, he is not the kind of person to frame a story by inventing it.

Or… Are there other demons lurking?

“Call Liliana.”

“It seems that the sealed Great Devil is somehow involved in the minds of adventurers.”

Liliana, who had been called to me, said so.

It wasn’t Neria, but it was the Daegal demon.

The Daegal Devil Sealing Orb was being managed by Liliana as she wanted to study it.

I wonder if the Daegal demon is also treated as a living being.
The sealed orb didn’t even go into the inventory.

“Daegal Demon? How? Liliana, did you mess with anything else while experimenting?”

The Daegal Devil was tightly wrapped so that he could not escape.
By mobilizing not only my magical power, but also Liliana’s magic.

“Or did you not seal it properly?”

“No! You bastard! What are you looking at me for? It seems that his mental waves are flowing from inside. And it affects the adventurers…”

“As a result, he was subjected to something similar to brainwashing and tried to break into your tent in order to escape the great devil?”

“Yes.”

It seemed that the Daegal demon was trying to manipulate the minds of the adventurers in order to escape from the sealed sphere.

I remember him doing something similar to a mind attack during combat. Had no effect.

“Wait…Then what about the subjugation party?”

I wasn’t worried about those with strong arms…But I was a little worried about the maids and elves.

Since there was not a big difference between the adventurers and the level of armed forces, they might not have been influenced by the Daegal demon.

“Fortunately, they say they have never heard of nightmares or demonic voices.”

Judith seemed to have investigated in advance.
After all, it is convenient to have a competent subordinate.

What is the difference between the adventurers and the subjugation party?

〈 is stupid. It’s a raid raid.〉

When I heard Cosmos, I immediately thought of it.
There was mental power enhancement in the raid passive.

〈 Raiders gain increased sanity.〉
〈Raid members with a raid leader gain more sanity.〉

It was a passive that wasn’t obvious, so I completely forgot about it.
Thanks to that passive, it seemed that the Daegal demon could not affect the members of the raid.
