The Best Assassin, Incarnated into a Different World's Aristocrat

Proceed towards Wang Du.

The vehicle I'm using is a carriage with rhino demons. This is even more amazing than I imagined.

Power and stamina are completely different.

I usually think running is faster than using a carriage, except for this one.

"This is the most powerful demon you've ever seen."

Ask the Marquis of Grand Vallen sitting next to you.

I use respectful language because I'm older and my position is higher than mine.

"I struggled. My realm has been studying demons for generations, and they have finally taken shape in my generation."

There should be less information as per.

Demons increase in number at the same time as the emergence of demons and demon kings, but they are not at all present at any other time.

It has magic. It's stronger, tougher, and has special abilities than any other animal. For this reason, there were numerous things that I wanted to make the most of, but I am very frustrated because of their madness.

The only Marquis Grand Vallen, who gained his demonic ordination, also finally succeeded in a project that took several generations. It's no longer the domain of obsession.

"Besides rhinoceros demons?

"No, it's just this demon. Because it depends entirely on the demon. You don't want to easily tutor another species either. But this guy is enough. It can also be used for transport, and it works great on the battlefield."

"Surely, you don't want to deal with this guy on the battlefield."

Hardened skin doesn't even put arrows or spears on your teeth.

The front will collapse with just a few demons of this rhino advancing.

Of course, if you have magic, you can deal with it, but just sealing a magic move is very valuable in the battlefield.

"We pride ourselves on the fact that the magic of my Grand Vallen is worthy of not taking a pull on the medical technique of Towaharde."

"That's true indeed"

After all, did you know about Towahade?

I don't think I know the back face.

Well, let's leave the public discourse at this.

You may need to be prepared before you go to the royal castle. I want information first.

"Earlier, Marquis Grandvallen said at the Royal Castle that he was ready to honor me for defeating the Demons, but have you made plans since the Royal Castle?

A light jab to change the flow of conversation.

"Yeah, suddenly, we've decided to hold a party. It's due in four days. That's why my power was asked for this way. Before that, you also said that Alam Karla wanted to invite you to the sanctuary."

A regular carriage would be suspicious to get there in four days, and you're right you need his help.

And a party?

Having a party is proof that it's not just at the tip of your mouth that you believe you defeated the Demons.

It would be a great disgrace to say that even though we had a party and gathered the powerful, the Demons were actually alive.

Then Alam Karla in the sanctuary?

There's a hell of a big guy out there.

"Why did the center believe my report? I don't normally believe that anyone but the brave killed the Demon Clan unless they actually look at it with their eyes."

"That's it. I was just told to pick up the Holy Knight."

Can you give me any information easily?

"I see. So you personally believe my report?

"Of course, I believe you."

Look into his eyes.

There is no lie there.

He comes packing the distance.

"Whatever, me and you are one of them"

Friends?

Does that mean nobles protecting this country from each other?

Marquis Grand Vallen laughs meaningfully. Whisper in your ear.

"I agree with Neusch, too."

Neusch.

My classmate was born in the four Dukes of this country.

He's trying to change this country.

... I knew they were gathering their people in the school, but I didn't know they even drew in people like the Marquis of Grand Vallen.

I have a pending response to Neusch, but I can't say that here.

If you think you're one of us, you might be able to get a convenience.

Then I put a lot of exploration in the carriage.

I wasn't sure, but I gathered a lot of information.

◇

If it was a regular carriage, it took only a day and a half to reach the Wang capital, which had to take four or five days.

Along the way, I went through a school on the outskirts of Wangdu, but the restoration was going on at a rapid pitch, and it felt like it was going to be over in about a month.

The carriage enters the king's capital and goes straight to the royal castle.

And they give me my liturgical clothes and tell me to get dressed.

The garment further accentuates the knight-inspired school garment.

Unlike mine, Dia and Tart were also given courtesy clothes.

I have earned my status as a holy knight, and Dia and Tart are recognized as his squire.

"Master Lug, it's cool"

"Yeah, you've just decided... but I might not look good. This kind of cool stuff doesn't cool without height."

"... I'm not sure either. Besides, I knew I had a bit of a chest area. Even though it would be easier if it were a little more fluffy material."

The tart seems to be breathless.

Let's not ask why it's painful. Dia looks resentful, but she pretends not to know that either. Definitely become a snake.

"I think I look good on both of you."

It's fresh for these two to wear these masculine clothes.

I just wonder if Marha would look better.

That kid is tall and soothing.

"I wouldn't feel bad if Lug would say that."

"Yes, I can hang in there too"

"Good, then. Shall we go?"

A servant assigned to be our guide was twitching.

We need to get him fast, but we're VIPs now.

I guess I was worried if I could interrupt the conversation.

◇

The Marquis of Grand Vallen said Alam Karla would wait in the sanctuary.

Alam Karla. That is not a personal name, but a word that indicates the bishop of this country, its highest witch.

Abandon the name at the same time as becoming the highest-ranking witch and assault the name Alam Karla.

The room that was guided had some mysterious air running through it.

In this world, rare stained glass is scattered and illuminated by antiqued candlesticks.

What concerns me is that there is a force flowing around the wall that should be called black light blocking my vision.

If you put your strength into the eyes of Towahade, you will be able to see what is hidden in the black light, but if you do that, you feel blamed.

This is the sanctuary.

I was made blindfolded a little while back where I came through the hidden passage of the castle, into the hidden passage.... I just don't lose my sense of equilibrium where I'm blindfolded, and I understand the general structure from the echoes of the footsteps.

For this reason, I understand how to come here from within the castle.

If you really wanted to hide it, you should have blocked five senses other than vision.

"Oh, what a beautiful place."

"Yes, I feel tight"

Dia and Tart are looking around and making their eyes black and white.

They honestly fall in love with national treasure dishes and such because they have yet to realize the anomaly of this sanctuary.

A visitor appears in such a place.

"Neusch, Epona, and Lord Rachel."

"Rachel's fine. You're a holy knight and you're better than me."

Rachel graduated chief from the Knights School, Hope, a young knight. The clothes she wears are the same as tarts and dias.

Ponytailed, long and sleek, she dresses beautifully.

"What the hell kind of gathering are the three of us?

"Respect is good. You said you were better than me. Uh, what you call a brave party. With Epona in mind, a candidate is close in age and yet outstanding. Neusch over there might be taking care of his family."

"... is that insulting me?

"I just told you the facts. You were better off as far as I'm concerned. I became a holy knight equal to a brave man, not a valiant squire. Even though that's just amazing, I can't believe I'm getting results fast. Perhaps an excellent property."

While that's good, I've been tangling my arms and pressing my chest.

Dia looked grumpy and Tart wept.

And Rachel said it was a joke and left, and Neusch said it was as good as ever, smiling bitterly.

Epona, are you listening to something? Actually, we were followed without asking. "

Ask Epona a question that she was trying to hide from Rachel at the heart of the brave party.

"Well, we only heard it was important."

As always, Epona is at home.

She's also a boyish girl, just like Rachel, but she doesn't have the Rin image, so she feels worn in her clothes.

"Right, something similar? What have you guys been up to since then?

"I don't have a case or anything."

Exchange of information begins while keeping each other updated.

The brave men are only training because of their defense of the Wang capital and its surrounding centers.

That's how a woman with white hair appears, wrapped in a white piercing coat.

Approximately, early twenties.

Alam Karla. Highest Witch.

I've never seen the real thing this way, but at first glance I knew. This witch imitates the goddess who sent me to this world.

White hair is not made of dyed hair.

... This is no coincidence.

For some reason, the goddess interfered in this country and probably created a religion that was convenient to the goddess.

"Well done, gather around. The shields of mankind."

Alam Karla speaks in a voice that passes well.

... If anyone asks, they will know. This was trained and intentionally forged, a voice that resonated in people's minds.

Religion is an extremely spiritual thing, but it really makes sense, and has the corresponding technique, to spread it or make it profess.

The way this Alam Karla behaves, the way he pronounces it, the way he makes it hold between them, they all calculate.

It's a truly modern religion.

And she called us the shield of humanity, but it's odd to say.

Protect mankind from demon kings and demons.

Besides, I'm not just a tool. I'm not fighting vaguely with the intention of protecting humanity, I'm fighting because there are people and places I want to protect, and I demand it in return properly.

"You've come here to reveal a secret to you. Let the truth of this world be known only by those chosen."

All the candlestick flames go out with her words.

And the darkness came.

Something glistened at the wall, and the black light that was hiding them disappeared.

The light overflows from stone statues arranged at equal intervals between walls.

Snakes, pigs, helmingworms, all eight different stone statues like those mixed with people.

... and only the stone statues of pigs and helmingworms have different colors of light. The others are nagging green, but red.

There's no way it's a coincidence.

The snakes, pigs and helminths, the motifs of the three demonic tribes I have met, are present in the statues of the eight, and I would be surprised the other way if only the pigs Epona killed and the helminths I killed were accidentally red light.

"In total, eight demons exist, and two have already been defeated. Your job is to defeat the six remaining demons. And what the Demons are trying to do, stop the Demon King from resurrecting"

The witch continued her words.

That word solved one mystery.

I believed my report because the statue here is linked to the life of the Demons.

No, I didn't have to make a report, I knew about the demons' deaths.

And you think it's stopping the demon king from resurrecting what the demons are trying to do? Will the Demon King not be resurrected unless the Demon Clan moves instead of naturally occurring?

Why are you giving me that information now?

There are other things that bother me.

Thus, if we knew that there were eight statues, we could infer from the motif the characteristics of the enemy demon clan, and we could fight in our favor.

I need you to ask me about this irrationality.

The light comes with me again.

Alam Karla just smiles.

You're just gonna tell me this is all I have to say, but are you gonna tell me?

I'm just not convinced.

I looked up at her and then slowly opened my mouth.
